I'm coming from echoe on an att S7E. I have fixed the MMS and used multiple ATT APNs but I am only receiving H or H+ and not able to get LTE. Does anyone have a way to fix this? I haven't used a Verizon rom before, the only thing I could think of was changing the APN. LTE works perfect for me on the Echoe rom.
U downloaded it on AT&T Galaxy s7
There's simply no way to get the Verizon firmware to work on the AT&T networks, it's hardcoded to use bands that at&t can never use, this was found by those using the Verizon nougat beta,

Hello all, i have a question regarding an Australian Telstra Galaxy S5 with att service. the phone works with voice and text but has no data or mms. i have added an apn from my sim card in a galaxy nexus that gets me edge service. i have found band selection in the service menu but non seem to make it any better. I'm sure LTE won't work but thats ok. as long as i can get 3g at least. do i need to flash say the att s5 modems? if so how? i have the modem file and another already extracted from the att firmware. thanks in advance.
Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900i branded telstra
i think firmware ANE1 4.4.2

Using a foreign handset on a system will never give you perfect coverage. That is by design, as both Samsung and carriers want to lock you in, not make it easy for you to change carriers. Or do so without buying a new phone.
The specs for your variant suggest that it has full coverage on ATT's 3G bands and partial coverage of their LTE allocations. You don't need an ATT modem, just make sure that your firmware is recent - which it will be by definition, as the S5 was only released a few months ago.
Unfortunately you didn't provide much detail, in particular whether you were roaming or a regular ATT customer. Things that you might check in general, that your phone doesn't blacklist any ATT MCCs (roaming restrictions). That you have the correct APN information and that your ATT SIM is properly provisioned for LTE.

Thanks for the reply. I figured it out. In service menu, I was picking compatible gsm bands. Back to network screen in settings, had it on gsm/lte only. That was giving me edge. Read more into wcdma and used network mode wcdma/gsm. That gives me H or H+. I know I won't get lte but with that network mode and another apn, I'm satisfied with the end results.
It sounds like you inadvertently blocked coverage with your previous settings. The default setting is automatic band select which should have worked fine.
Glad you figured it out in the end.

Yeah. It was the apn that was hurting me. Default it used the wap.cingular apn. I put my sim in a galaxy nexus and used the apn that gave me. Plus changing network mode. Thanks though!
Anyone using an unlocked T-mobile S7 with an AT&T Sim? Do you get full LTE? Any difference in signal strength, etc?
Just curious. Im about to trade my S7 edge for a regular S7 cause I like the smaller size, but it's an unlocked t-mobile model. I know they both use the same bands so it should work fine. Just wondering about anyone else's experience. Thanks.
I'm using an unlocked T-Mobile on AT&T. I don't have any signal problems. I, however, cannot get volte to work. I'm in the process of looking to see if anyone has been able to maybe flash AT&T firmware onto a T-Mobile variant, or if we might be able to flash the stock firmware and use an ATT CSC to gain volte. I also don't get notifications from visual voicemail but visual voicemail does work. The notification comes through like a standard voicemail notification and then I have to open the VVM app and refresh to see the new message.
Thanks for the reply. Good to know. I don't use the volte actually I have it turned off because I seem to drop more calls with it on then with it off. But yeah if an AT&T stock fw could be flashed to it I think the tmo model would be preferable to me.
I have a Verizon G900V S5 that I am currently using with a T-Mobile sim card on the T-Mobile network, I can get voice calls text/data etc, but I cant find a way to activate the video calling because its linked to Verizon its currently on android 5.0 and I cant manually update it from the phone either because it says im not on the network, is there any tweaks or roms to fix these? Also whats the best network mode I should be on to get the fastest data right now im just leaving it on "Global" and using T-Mobiles APN and it seems alright
Hello! I succesfuly installed the Nougat version for T-Mobile on my Unlocked Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge. I love the system and I definetely cannot go back to Marshmallaw and that annoying random reboot issue I had (Totally gone after I installed Nougat). Everything works like a charm Voice, Voicemail, USSD codes etcetera. The only problem I have is that I live in the Dominican Republic and the T-Mobile version of Nougat I believe is not recognizing the 3G network of my carrier. I checked online and the 935T recognizes different bands than the 935p (If im wrong please correct me).
I only have 4g and 2g so far, sounds good when you read it, but here in the DR, not all the places or regions have 4G, so I get to have 2G in some areas and I just cannot stand such a slow connection and Im looking for a Fix so my phone recognizes the 3g network. I tried playing a little with the APN's of my carrier but in all the APN's the 3g (and only the 3g) doesnt work.
If I Odin to the Nougat version of AT&T or Sprint, I suppose the problem would be fixed.... Suggestions?
I was wondering if its possible to flash the T-Mobile firmware on to my sprint s7 edge.. My phone is unlocked and I currently have a T-Mobile sim in it and it works just fine but I hate having all the sprint bloat on the device since I'm no longer using the phone on sprint network.
I have Sprint phone working on T-Mobile service,
Whit T-Mobile firmware.
Just flash the T-Mobile firmware via Odin and everything
Going to be ok (like if you have a T-Mobile phone)
s7 edge SM-G935P
Does the phone need to be rooted to do this? I just moved to t-mobile from Sprint, and some functions like receiving MMS messages, don't work. Otherwise I love it.
