After got my phone back from repair, an older version of Android 5.1.1 was installed. So I have flashed my Xperia Z3 with a stock 5.1.1 FTF, the 23.4.a.1.232 MEA. My preferred network is set WCDMA(preferred/GSM. Before repair I normally got to see the 4G indicator. Now after repair and the mentioned flash, I don't see this anymore. Any clue?
I live in NL and have a Vodafone subscription.
what do you have it set to in the prefered network type?

It is already in my post, but OK:
My preferred network is set WCDMA(preferred/GSM

then you wont get 4g, you have to set it to 4g(prefered)/wcdma/gsm, if you don't have that option you need to flash a different rom that will have it

Damn, I was afraid of that. Which one do I need then? Nordic, German?
Can you also please provide a link where I can download the stock FTF 23.4.A.1.232 which has 4g in it? Thnx!!!!!
I just checked and found it in Xperifirm. Is Nordic Combined fine? I want a 5.1.1 Unbranded and 4g of course!

Try this as well.
Open dialer and dial *#*#SERVICE#*#*
Service Settings > Network Mode > Choose LTE_ONLY and see if that works
Thanks but in the meantime I have flashed my phone with the 232 Nordic version. In there the 4g(preferred)/3g/gsm is normally available, finally. I have a fine phone again and as always happy with my Z3. And, lessons learned, never flash a MEA ftf anymore.

Before with older firmware, I was able to select the network mode "Gsm Only" however now I haven't the choice with the I9103XWLA4 FW.
So I would like to know if there is a secret code to force the GSM network mode ?
Thx in advance.

yes i removed this version too becoz of this try hong kong version zskk5 of galaxy r.....
it has VIDEO AND VOICE CALLING ON GTALK tooo.....
Yes I know, I was using I9103ZSKK5 FW before but there isn't French language.
That's why I would like to activate the gsm mode through secret code in this recent and stable FW (XWLA4).
I was able to do that with my Samsung Wave with the service code : *#*#197328640#*#* but with the Galaxy R it don't work.
Try *#*#4636#*#*

The code works but changing the network mode is not posible...
(It becomes as before)
Could it be cause you are on roaming?
It doesn't work when I'm not in roaming too
I'm on XLA4 too, but I have this option. Did you install this rom the way it was (I mean with all these 3-branded apps and so on) or did you debranded it by flashing your own csc? I performed the second option (I replaced the original cache.img - that stands for csc with my nordic) and voila! Find your original french csc and simply push it to the package with total commander - do not extract it! Find a thread devoted to this FW in ANdroid development section for more detailed guidelines.
Solved
Thank you very much, I have modified the fw with my csc and now I have this network mode
Great! I'm glad I could help

You're in the Verizon s3 forum, ask this question in the i9300 forum, the phones are completely different.

And you manually Odin to 4.1.2 with full firmware?? It's not possible to downgrade...Anyway, try to Odin again with PIT file and full factory firmware. Also make a backup of the IMEI folder before you do it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1804117
If still not working you need to replace your SIM card(free from your provider) and call your provider to reprovision the card, just like when you first brought the phone.
Which one of those firmware is the newer one? is there any difference between them?

Out of those two, E3 is the newer one, though there is an E4 for UAE which I'm using on my phone. I like it better than E3 because the fingerprint recognition was quicker for me on E4.

Any difference in battery life?
Also wondering if there's a way to still get OTA updates when flashing a different country stock firmware

No noticeable difference to me but I've always had pretty decent battery life.
The OTA schedule you'll be on will be country dependent. So if you flash a rom from Poland, for example, you'll get the OTA when all the other Poland S6s get theirs, which will most likely be different from say, United Kingdom.

Will I though? I've read somewhere that the CSC needs to match the original phone CSC or something, otherwise you won't get OTA, not sure how it works exactly.

Hi,
I am using S7 with Nougat. I am facing few problems-
- Whenever I open Samsung Theme store to download new themes or icon packs, the photos/screenshots of the same does not load. Hardly the screenshots of 1 or two themes/icon pack loads and that too not all of them. Check the following-

- I downloaded Batman theme from the internet. When I try to purchase it, I get this error-
- I downloaded an icon pack, Black_Onyx, how to uninstall/delete the same. I was not able to find any option for the same (check no signal of the service provider)-
- The mobile signal automatically goes off for a few seconds, 10-40 seconds, randomly many times when I am using the phone and then automatically comes back-
- Any help regarding this too-

i have the same signal problem in BTU with 6.0.1 and 7.0 in Argentina, so i flash the ZTO (Brazil) and in my region a have not any problem with signal in 6.0 but 7.0 ota its unaviable, so i think that its a region problem with the Stock Rom.
sorry for my poor english.
So it's not just me. Even I have issues with signal. But only on my secondary SIM. I have dual SIM 935FD S7

Does the 2018 A7 model have WiFi calling? My UK mobile provider has listed it as being a WiFi calling compatible device, but I don't see the option anywhere?
I have it.
But I have a firmware of Germany.

I've a feeling mine is firmware of Romania.
Can you flash another firmware for a different country?
Also, where in settings do you find it?
I have it in Phone App also.
Click on 3 Points

Wifi calling is there.

Wifi Calling achieved!
For anyone interested. I installed the XEU firmware for UK and Ireland. Files found at SamMobile : https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a7/SM-A750FN/XEU/download/A750FNXXU1BSD6/269418/
Extract files.
Install Samsung USB drivers.
Enter download mode by shutting down phone, holding the Volume up/down buttons together and plugging the USB cable into a PC and the phone.
Flash AP BL CP CSC_OXM (NOT HOME_CSC_OXM) with Odin 3.13.x to device after installing Samsung USB drivers.
Phone reboots.
It came up in Spanish to start with and another factory reset seemed to occur after this, then it came up in English. It stayed on the Samsung boot screen for some time.
Hi Guys!
With the latest firmware is working the wifi calls?
I have tried with the ROM A750FNXXS4BTA6 and not work.
Regards.
