Hi all
I do remember that now Samsung have all carrier's bloatware installed on phone.
user can change carrier bloatware files on the phone by dial certain codes.
for example, I can type some code to change a ATT phone to us cell, or Rogers to Bell.
but I can't find any infor on this. Any one can give me a key word hint or a link ? THX
found answer myself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34524458&postcount=24
So has anyone tried the dialer code *#272*IMEI# on their AT&T S4 to see if it works. And if it works, could someone please post a screen shot of the results here? I would try it, but I don't have one (...yet). Of course you take the risk if it blows your phone up.
I did
I change i337m from Bell to Fido, then from Fido to bell again
I confirm this works

Could you get a screenshot of the *#272*IMEI# menu screen and post it here? I would like to see what other carrier options are available with the i337m? And, could someone do the same with the AT&T i337 version?
Thanks.

Hi.
So i got an s6 from eBay.
It's not reacting to my touch. (it is, but with insane delay and barely!)
Couldn't figure this out.
Suddenly or occurred to me that something is fishy since home screen should not be organized like this (this is AFTER full reset!)
(why would twitter be inside a folder named Google?)
Also looks to be non-stock.
Here's a pic.
Can anyone tell me what am I dealing with here?
Does not seem to be running the usual Samsung rom.
Was this device tinkered with?
Also see video here:

Thank you!

Is it a real S6?
Theres a thread in the General section about how to try and spot a fake S6.
that article mentions the fake ones are running droid 4.x, but thats not to say they haven't mucked with the version number on it.

Yes you got a copy of the galaxy s6. thats why its running so slow.
these fakers might as well build a phone with the effort they put into these!!!! it's insanely crafted!!! if software wasn't as ****ty - might have missed it!!
(one of them is actually quite snappy)

Since you bought off eBay. Did you pay via paypal?
Just lodge a claim against them for selling a fake item.
Make sure and screenshot the ebay listing as well
Yes I will definitely file a claim. Thank you.
Everyone else - BE WARNED!!!
My advice:
Turn off phone.
Press and hold power button + volume down button.
My bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked, can it be changed?

Seems like you got robbed, whatever carrier sold you that phone decided that you have no right to control your device.
Never post your IMEI around.

I forgot to cover it before posting. But, yeah, that's Vodafone. They unlocked the device, told me this would change the bootloader allowed. But, no luck as of yet.
I was told I should try software repair via Xperia companion to see if it changes it.
Gonna try that at some point.

That will not change anything,
There is no way to change it unless you are in possession of the signed keys from sony.

If you are employed by Sony in their developer section and you work your way up to the top, then maybe you will have access to them. By that point you will know how to use them.
If you are not employed by Sony and work in their development section, then no, there is no way to get them.
Please be assured. If your bootloader is not allowed to be unlocked THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE THIS.
The little AT&T thing shows up on the left side of my status bar and blocks my notifications. I've looked everywhere. Anyone know to get rid of this?

You can try this app from Samsung, Good lock using Galaxy Store.
Use Quick panels and it will let you customize it. Posted what it offers. There's more you can also do with Good lock.

Carrier branding is so stupid — like we don't know what carrier we have. I'm on Verizon and finally this year decided to get my device directly from Samsung because I was tired of seeing Verizon's stupid boot screen and other little addons.
Has anyone managed to successfully sim unlock the Oneplus 7 Pro T-Mobile?
A friend of mine got one, he unlocked the bootloader but unable to sim unlock it.
Any help is very welcome !
@Yousvel Have a look here:

Thank you !
But I don't meet the requirements because I am in Haïti not USA.
It is super straight forward. Just have it paid off, and go through the steps outlined by oneplus on their website. The app was removed from the drawer, it is now in Mobile Network settings.
no

Please pardon if this seems repetitive as I have not found any answers. I have T-Mobile SM-S908U (T-Mobile) variant pre-ordered from Samsung. Was able to get the phone network unlocked. So I ended up flashing the phone with XAA variant (SM-S908U1)
I have noticed the followings.
Using SM-S908U(TMobile):
Calls seems much clearer
5GUC Icon
Download 230 Mbps Upload 6.45 Mbps
Using SM-S908U1 (XAA Unlocked)
Calls are not clear as Carrier
No 5GUC icon
Download 278 Mbps Upload 14.4 Mbps
CSC is TMB/TMB,TMB/XAU
Would you please share your call quality with the unlocked firmware? Do I need to do anything to get the clear call quality like the carrier version?
Thank you all in advance
Update: One more observation I've noticed:
Using T-Mobile firmware, when calling any other T-Mobile phone, the calls are very clear, high definition.
Using unlocked firmware to T-Mobile number, regular call quality.
Flash 908U1 TMB not XAA
You had better luck than I getting your phone unlocked. TMo is not unlocking mine.
