is there a way to install a hotspot app that bypasses the one built into the s7 edge? it used to be possible on the s5 so this is why i ask.
Just add this to end of build.prop, reboot and use hotspot built into phone.

no go for that. all it did was cause my phone to have rebooting issues. Vibrates 3 times then reboots now.

Actually what i endedup doing was flashing the g935U firmware. its the unlocked versions firmware. Hardly any bloatware and hotspot is enabled without any changes to the build.prop at all. Fast rom also.
Hey guys - I've recently switched back to Android. I've poured through some of the discussions on flashing the 935U on the 935A. The post says that you will lose carrier features, but I haven't been able to find what exactly those are. Some of my guesses are:
Advanced Message
VoLTE
Wifi Calling?
I'm on the PG1 update.
Thanks!

Yea, you'll lose phone carrier features.
There's no harm in test driving U. If you don't like it just flash back.

Yea, you'll lose those, but volte has been enabled by using a stock 935a others.xml in the U fw.

how do i go about doing this >?
*I originally posted this in the AT&T S7 forums unintentionally so posting here as well*
For those of you curious about running the T-mobile firmware on the AT&T version of the edge, it is now possible since they are now using the same bootloader version.
I have an AT&T S7 edge (SM-935A) and recently switched to T-mobile as my carrier. I had to unlock it first so I used the service from unlockunit. It took almost a day for the code but I was then able to pop my T-mobile SIM and sure enough, it worked. Surprisingly, WIFI calling even worked!
At this point, I really wanted to switch to the 935U firmware as I heard it has great battery life as all the carrier bloat is removed. Unfortunately, just before I switched, the recent September update from AT&T raised the bootloader to v4. I learned after the fact you have to disable the update service as it eventually will force you to update. Now I was stuck with the damn AT&T firmware!
I wanted to flash the 935U firmware but the bootloader was still at v2 and T-mobile, so I thought, was at v3. It might be helpful to have a sticky on this forum with the current bootloader versions as it took some time for me to research the following:
AT&T - v4
T-mobile - v4
Verison - v4
Sprint - v2?
Universal - v2
Yes, you read that right, T-mobile just released a new firmware (PIA) which raised their bootloader to v4! You can grab it here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935T/
It's the one with the date of 2016-09-27. I used the prince odin version referenced in this thread for flashing as others failed and gave sha1 errors. http://forum.xda-developers.com/veri...g930v-t3411015
If you plan to do this please research how to flash with odin and remember to back everything up! Samsung Smart Switch is a great resource for this.
I've been running on the new T-mobile firmware for just a day but already like it better than AT&T's. I didn't even know AT&T disabled some features of the S7 edge that other carriers kept. Typical for the Deathstar. Can you sense my disdain for AT&T?
For example, with the T-mobile firmware, you can control Download booster (the ability to leverage wifi and LTE simultaneously!) This option was removed from the AT&T firmware. In addition, you can set a preference to WiFi calling. With the AT&T firmware, you have no control and it will only flip to WiFI when in a weak area. It just so happens where I live the AT&T signal is weak so I was always jumping back and forth between the two and it was frustrating not being able to control it. The only way to force WiFi calling is turn on airplane mode when in a fringe area and turn WiFI back on. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that anymore.
I'm including some screenshots which show the current firmware running on my SM-935A.
Hopefully we'll see an update to the 935U bootloader to v4 which will allow a switch to that firmware.
Thanks for the info.

Benefit of T-Mobile firmware besides the ones stated. I am on the U firmware. Should I stay or switch to t-MObile.
How did you get to send mms on the u firmware i havent been able to.

did you get the send mms working on u firmware?
So would it be possible to use the t-mobile firmware and still be on ATT or no?

no sorry im not clear on what im asking lol. im on (U)firmware but i cant send mms and my ims is not registered. if i go back to (A)firmware everything works fine. so the question is first do you have an origianl att phone? and second if so when you flashed the u firm ware did your mms work or did you alter something to get mms working.
My question is if i remain on att and run the tmobile firmware will the wifi calling work?
---------- Post added at 07:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------
Also, is the root method the same and does it still work with new v4 bootloader?

I didnt do anything it work right out of the box. I am on the ATT variant of S7 edge and mms works fine. I havent rooted and will never root this phone. Only thing not working is VOLte, Wifi Calling, and visual voicemail. lve been a nexus user so im used no biggie on them. Have you alter anything? Using any other messaging apk?

oh ok you arent rooted thats the big missing link lol , im rooted on att variant but have u firmware. sorry thought you were rooted and on u firmware.
So, it sounds like you're saying we can use ATT WIFI Calling after flashing the G930T firmware? Is there anything you lose from G930T? HD Calling for example? Anything else?
Edit: I said 930 because I followed a link here from the 930 forums - I assume it would be the same for the 935, but I'd like to know how it worked on the 935 too.
What are the benefits with the TMOBILE firmware?

It has been written elsewhere that AT&T requires 1) proprietary code [read: ATT ROM] and 2) AT&T-branded phones (IMEI they recognize, also includes some non-ATT such as iPhone/HTC) for advanced calling features to work.
I would bet that VoLTE, WiFi calling, video calling, advanced messaging, etc. do not work with the T-Mo ROM.
On the other hand T-Mo uses more standard VoLTE protocols, etc., so phones like Nexus 6P, 5X, etc. work with VoLTE and WiFi calling just fine on T-Mo.
A bit of history: Even people who got ATT-branded Nexus 6 do not get VoLTE because Google later standardized the N6 ROM therefore without ATT's evil code (and bloat).
ATT has quickly surpassed VZ as the new Evil Empire.

Where did you find the solution, I've tried a couple different versions of odin and no luck. Also, should I be using the "CSC" or "HOME_CSC" in the CSC box?
EDIT: Also figured it out. search for "Verizon S7 / S7 Edge [Root Guide] SM-G930V SM-G935V [NO KNOX TRIP]" in xda to find the correct ODIN version for this.
and the correct file to use in the CSC field is "CSC" even though ODIN says to use the "HOME_CSC"
Do I need to enable OEM unlock?
Hey guys, just wondering what everyone is doing as far as a tethering option now that foxfi isn't working.
I read something about a temporary root. Would this allow tethering again as long as I don't restart the phone?

There is no temp root for the snapdragon version of the phone
I purchased the unlocked variant us model of the phone. No provision check on verizon, stock app works. You could install the unlocked firmware if you wanted.

Not sure why it would be missing since Sprint plans come with hotspot now. Did you flash via odin? Are you on Sprint?

No i am not using any sprint services as i am not in USA i use my GSM sim on my mobile and sprint is useless in my country.. yes i flash via odin and after that no hotspot because i was not pas the hands free activation i think i just disable that via "Package Disabler Pro app"
Edit: Problem solved i got the hotspot back with quickshortcut maker app i was use this before but not choosing the correct option so i got it now
