Hey guys I've had a note 4 from T-Mobile for a while now and thought I'd get an s6 but I want to make sure I get the best model. For the note 4 the T-Mobile version was best just because it lacked the whole locked boot loader ect or at least that's what I've always thought, I'd like to use the phone on the AT&T network some advice would be great.
t-mobile again att is locked

Sorry for posting if this is already asked, but I am at work and my upgrade is up soon. Could get in huge troble for being on here but was dying to ask...... I am between buying the Galaxy nexus or the note and flashing it to Verizon if possible. I have the unlimited data with Verizon using my fascinate and do not want to lose it by switching carriers. I want the note bad, sooooooo bad. I'm willing to pay if I can flash it. I'm not really looking forward to the nexus as I don't think it has swipe. Swipe is a must for me. Any suggestions? I don't really have a sweet tooth so I'm not so concerned with ICS I will hack it when the time comes if no update is released. If not flashable to Verizon, could you recommend another with similar specs?
Thanks, Essyg
no, you can't flash the note to verizon...you can unlock it to run on T-mobile though. If you're looking to flash a phone, only phones you can use would be on Sprint or you could just get a verizon phone.
Thank you...
Can you recommend one? I am not sure which one to get.... Should I just wait to see if anything new is coming out?
only phones I'd consider from sprint is the htc evo design or the samsung s2 epic 4G touch. They don't compare to the note though...
Hello. I have had nothing but Nexus phones for the last few years. I really like the S6, but am not really sure on a few things. Let me just ask the questions I have, and see if some kind soul will answer them.
1. I'm guessing short of buying a way overpriced international version, there's no way to get an unlocked/carrier-free version of this phone?
2. I use Straight Talk with my Nexus 6. What is the best way (without buying a Straight Talk branded phone) to use an S6 with Straight Talk?
3. If I buy an AT&T S6 outright, do I have to buy service with them? If so, can I cancel after a month and switch to ST?
4. Compared to the Nexus line, is it hell to root an S6 or load custom ROMs on one?
Thanks again for all the help. If anyone is wondering, I do love my N6, but I started running lately, and the 6" form factor is just too much of a beast to strap onto my arm or carry in a pouch. The S6 would be perfect for that.
Anyone?
i can help you with the last question...i think the easiest android phone to flash roms is the galaxy....i used S2 S4 and now S6....and they are the easiest...its simple....maybe you wont find many custom roms for the S6 because of its only exynos variant...but its easy to flash them..

1. Tmobile is the closest you'll get to the international version but your going to have to get it SIM unlocked (try swappa)
2. Take SIM out of n6 and put in s6 I use my s6 on straight talk with no problems you just might have to set the APN settings
3. If you buy s6 outright i do not believe you will have to have service with them should be able to purchase and put your ST sim right in
4. Cannot comment on this but looks like someone already did

Well, the easiest phones on which to flash ROMs are the Nexus phones. But I just wanted to make sure the S6 wasn't too difficult as well.
Thanks for your response.

Thanks for the answers. Where did you get your S6? I can buy the 32GB version from T-Mobile for $629.99. If the one Verizon sells was able to be used with ST, I'd buy it, because they have the lowest prices by far (64GB version for $699). Any idea if the Vz one would work with ST?
Got my gold carrier unlocked S6 for $720 shipped via fedex 2nd day. Not bad I'd say.

I got mine from the ebay seller that had them for $700 the first week, Theres a post on here about using verizon on straight talk, if its like all their others you will get annoyed by the "incorrect sim" message they like to parade around
willmyphonework.net is a good place to see if it has correct bands and what not
Hello guys, if I unlock my current AT&T G3 and use say a Verizon service then does this mean I have have to use a Verizon Rom? Thanks.

You cannot use it on Verizon. Verizon is a CDMA carrier. The only way it will work on Verizon would be data / LTE only. No calls/sms. In the USA that phone will only work on AT&T/T-Mobile or any other GSM carrier.

WOW! Now this really effed up my day My galaxy s6 edge plus through Verizon just ended up getting it's screen eat by my car door and I figured I would at least be able to unlock my old G3 and go on abiut my day but now itlooklike my problem just gotten Even worst.
On another note..of you guys Had to choose between a G4 or v10 which one would you go for? What would be another phone you guys recommend. Thanks.

That sucks :/. If your willing to sign a 2 year contract BestBuy has most of the new samsungs for $1 Also if your willing to add a line and keep it for at least 3 months you get $300 off if you trade in a phone. I recently got two G4s by adding lines ending up making $100 lol.
I love the G4. I cannot say about the V10. I don't like the upper screen personally I don't think it's useful. But the v10 is a great phone though.

Hi,
Have a LG G4 unlocked (H815) and i am looking to buy a S6 unlocked.
I have seen those 2 models G920i and SM-G920F and I have no idea which one is the best for the US.
I am on cricket and have no idea which one would be the best. Seems that both have the good LTE bands but i am not expert.
Can anyone please guide me and tell me which one you have and why? Thank you.
Anyone please? I would like to order but need to be sure which model I need to take. Thank you in advance.
I've had both on AT&T. Both worked great, but when i took them cross country, the F version seemed to have slightly better LTE coverage.

Go with the F version, in my opinion it is better as you would be able to use Samsung Pay with that and not with the I version!
I currently have a note 2 and am thinking about upgrading to an edge. The one that seems to be the best deal right now is a Verizon version. It's supposed to be unlocked. Would it work with a straight talk att Sim? Also I noticed the Verizon thread is small, do any of the ROMs in the general development work for the Verizon 915v? Should I look for a different version? Trying to stay in the $200 range. Thanks guys

Second question, is the T-Mobile version unlocked like the Verizon? I noticed the T-Mobile has better Dev support
