Okay so I have an S7 and a J3 Prime. My J3p has service while my S7 is black listed. I use my S7 more because of features and android pay and the HD display. Is it possible to link any messages i get from the j3 to my S7? With or without root? I don't want to switch phones everytime I get a message.

Hey guys,
I am currently an iPhone user since day one. I guess I am getting tired of waiting for a jailbreak and waiting on developers to update their tweaks so I want to move to an S7.
I been looking on Craigslist for a S7 and I see a bunch of AT&T phones but I am on Verizon. I know both carriers are different from one another using different bands but can I use an ATT phone on a Verizon network if it's unlocked? I was told by Verizon that I can but someone else said I can't.
I am just curious to see if the S7 is all band compatible?
I don't want to spend $700 and not be able to use it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Are you saying if I buy a US S7 I can't root the phone?

Yes, there are no US S7 or S7 Edge phones which can be rooted.
The very last late model Samsung Galaxy phones which can still be
rooted are the S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+ & Note 5 US branded phones.
So if you want a S7 Edge you will have to purchase an international
model G935F.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

So rooting is only for installing roms correct? Thanks for this info, I almost bought one from CL.
Can you still install tweaks without rooting?
Also just to confirm the SM-G935F model will work on Verizon correct?

Yes it will, all you will need to do is pop in an activated Verizon micro sim card.
Good luck,

You cannot install or flash any roms, tweaks or mods unless the phone is rooted. (With very few exceptions)

Does the Canadian version G935W8 can be rooted?

Yes it can.
If you want to know how, go to this xda link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/recovery-official-twrp-hero2lte-3-0-0-0-t3334084
It will guide you thru the rooting process.
The W8 Canadian S7 Edge is rooted the
same way as all the international versions.
You don't even need to root the phone if you are
going to flash a custom rom...
All custom roms are pre-rooted so you will only
need to odin flash TWRP by following the guide
in the link above.
Good luck,
Have a great day!

Are you sure the international version supports CDMA?
I read it only supports 4G not 3G or 2G.
That kind of sux because to me Verizon does not have good coverage.
If I buy a phone from Verizon I guess can't root it, what can I do? Can I install custom tweaks and is there a free App Store like AppCake?
I would be careful using phones built on another network even if unlocked. The phone and sms will work but picture / video and data connections will be spotty.
Verizon and Sprint work off of CDMA and all other carries r on GSM.
LTE frequencies r built different for each network. If I was u n spending that money, I would buy the phone that was made for the carrier u r looking to do business with.
U can search through the Google play store. All tweaks that come from apps in there u can install without root.
If u r used to Cydia which u change system parameters of the native phone or status bar icons, that is all done with root.
Android gives u a million more customization options unrooted. Not like the iPhone. I have also used an iPhone for years and only because of the jailbreak. Without a JB I would of never used the iPhone. I switched to android as well because new JBs don't come out as quick especially since every other month Apple releases a new IOS.
I am amazed with all the options and great camera that s7 has over the iPhone. The iPhone 7 still sounds to be years behind.
I am actually selling an AT&T unused s7 device.
Good luck!!!

F has a little better processor. U has many more available cellular bands.
I bought my S8+ yesterday and found out it's the Duos variant, meaning it can accommodate 2 SIM cards. So instead of the Galaxy S8+ branding is written on the back of the device it says Duos. My OCD tingles to no end.
Anyway, is this variant (SM-G955FD) just the same S8+ variant (SM-G955F) but just have the ability to use 2 SIM cards? Same specs, same everything?
I bought my daughter an S5 Duos before and it's just not the same compared to the regular S5. It looks like a dumb-down version to me especially the screen.
I installed Samsung INFO from the Play Store and it show SM-G955F not 955FD (D for Duos, I suppose). But when I look at the phone information from the Settings app, it say 955FD. Strange.

Dubai. It seems like they're only selling that variant here. A friend of mine has the Duos variant too.
Cant comment specifically on the S8 Duos (I have an S8) but did have an S6 Duos. Everything was the same as regular S6 - Even the firmware - I flashed different stock ROMS on it a few times and just used the F moniker with no issue - Ie, because I wanted EE Wifi calling, I flashed the EVR firmware.
I imagine it will be the same with the S8 and S8+ Duos

Actually that's what I'm afraid of. If ever I wanted to mess around with my phone by installing an custom ROM if the phone updates comes very slowly for the S8, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to use a ROM that's only been tested on a SM-G955F (without D for Duos). I hope you get what I'm saying.
My friend said it's the same hardware that I don't need to be worrying about it.
hey this is strange.... i just went to my phone>about tab and see mine says Sm-G955FD (dual sim variant) but phone info app says its a G955F which is europe single sim variant. funny. ? any one can shed some light on this?
Okay today I saw on Sammobile that A3 2017 starts receiving nougat and some people reported that they got new S8 UI or Samsung Experience 8.1. I really want that on S7 Edge but the question is when and will Samsung release it ?
What you guys think ?
Not yet. But there are full port rom of the Galaxy s8 for s7/s7 edge. Here is the one I use:

Vodafone Australia has confirmed Android 7.1 for the Galaxy S8 / S8 +. With a bit of luck, the Galaxy S7 / S7 edge will also receive this update with Samsung Experience 8.1. Anyway, that's what I hope
It is very disappointing to see that top samsung phones like the s7 edge have not got the samsung experience 8.1 ui, whilst phones like A5 or A3 have already got it.
Why is that? S7 edge has better processor, more capabilities and used to be the last year's samsung flagship. Why would samsung decide to push this update firstly to the A series rather than the S7 edge...
Maybe I'm missing something? But am I the only one that thinks that Samsung Experience is much the same as the S7s' Touchwiz? The only difference I can tell is icons and widgets. It looked like they just changed the name + a little update and marketed well just to lose the bad rep that Touchwiz got. And for context I am a bit of a Samsung Galaxy fanboy, so I'm not hating on Samsung.
No, android 7.1 will not be released for s7 series nor for s8 series, its sad but its the truth, 7.1 for s8 on vodafone was a typing mistake, our s7 edge will only get latest ui with oreo update next year around april-may

i hope we get Samsung Experience 8.5 instead of 8.1
i think Android Oreo will be coming so where in May or June.
May or June? maybe at that time l'm no longer using my s7e anymore...
I live in Japan.
I usually use Samsung Galaxy S6 active because I like rugged phones.
It's time to replace Galaxy S8 Acitve
Because S6 was not able to update automatically overseas
In case of S8, I would like to know if updating is impossible.
