Finally yesterday I have received an Update from Samsung addressing Text Size problem in the stock browser,I received it through the google play,you can change it at:
Settings>advanced>text size.!!.
Those who didn't receive the update, you can check it out manually at Google play >Samsung Internet For Android.
Interesting! No update yet for the browser in North America

Don't forget that Samsung also snuck in DPI options in Settings -> Display after the last update. This allows us to scale down the UI elements and text further.
They also added VoLTE on by default in mobile networks settings which you might want to turn off as it will eat into your data allowance. It's also changed 4G to LTE in network mode setting. This was in the update that UK unbranded phones got today.
I got the update but in my region there is no text size option. Not that I have noticed anyting weird though!

VoLTE data usage does not count as data.
Thank you! Just noticed it. Now the phone is perfect.

By going through the manual & comparing it to the EU version I've compiled a list of things tmous has changed on the phone. (in case anyone was interested)
Removed:
Quick Lookup - ability to select something & choose lookup through Google, Wikipedia, etc
Show Me app
Ebook reader completely missing even though HTC widget is still there
Voice Recorder
Voice Dialer
Dock settings
Locations
The Device Setup on first boot is missing things
Added:
Wifi calling (Tmobile's UMA feature)
I wonder why Tmobile removed all of these?
Here is a Voice Recorder app in the market that someone recommended since ours is missing:
http://market.android.com/details?id=com.tokasiki.android.voicerecorder
Did they keep Locations? And the quick look up thing is actually useful...dumb.

seems to be missing too. updated post.
Man why the **** is it 3 years since using a HTC Touch and they are still locking in bull**** accuweather with no zipcode search or cities that aren't major?
Ran into the voicerecorder bs.
Is there anyway to add any of those features back in or are they hard built into the rom?

What do you mean by "wifi calling"? is it calling via wifi using SIP provider?
If so, we do have it on our Vodafone UK branded units.
If it's something else, please explain.
well I guess it's good I havn't waited for the 4G to come and pre-ordered the British version.. just one thing, the WiFi Calling looks good.. (first time with Android and HTC xD) is there any way to get it in the UK Sensation Z710e ?

T-Mobile is a pretty cool system. When you're at home (or on a WiFi network that doesn't do much filtering), phone calls, SMS, and MMS inbound or outbound route through WiFi instead of the cellular network. I've noticed this has the benefit of improving battery life while on WiFi, as it turns off the WCDMA (3G/4G) radio. It actually seems like it might turn off the cellular radio completely, I'll have to check when I get home.
The one downside is that if you are on the phone and walk away from your WiFi network, it will drop the call. It can't hand off.
I'm not sure if this is common in Europe, but in the states, many wireless carriers offer femtocell units that users can install in their home if they have bad reception. WiFi calling eliminates the need for that.
Wifi calling will notify you of a mms but it will not download the message. At least that's my experience with the G2x.

ah sorry was just going off what I've been told regarding MMS. I actually don't use SMS or MMS, I use google voice for "SMS" purposes and don't have any use for MMS (if someone wants to send me a photo they just email it).
I have an unbranded phone from HK but also have Show Me and Locations. (Maybe the other stuff too - didn't check).

I think it shuts off the radio as well. My buddy had it turned on by accident & was freaking out because he was on wifi & showed no signal bars.

A similar feature to the TMOUS "wifi calling" is offered in the UK by BT Mobile. They call it BT Fusion.
Fem2cell is available here from Vodafone, known as Sure Signal

Good call, I'm gonna need wifi calling at the very least before I'll hop over to an alternate ROM (who am I kidding I'm sure I won't be able to resist). The my account app is handy but it's in the market anyway (there was an update a day or two ago).
When you say Dock Settings is there a separate App/Icon for the EU version or are the settings completely gone from withing the Settings Menu?

Guys, try installing these apk's for loacations . Not sure about last 2, try firs 2 at first, and then add last two if needed. Not sure if it will work, but worth a try
Hi Omni Team,
Can we have the option of swtiching network mode(2G/3G/LTE) in the mobile settings? This is required for switching network for battery saving and selectively change network depending on the area the user is currently.
This option is there in most AOSP ROMS(CM, AOKP).
Thanks for reading this request.
Thanks,
Kunal
The last time i checked it, the network mode was a flippable quick tile...

Just a thought, not sure if it is connected but I previously had the option to change between 2g only/ 3g only/ and 2g with 3g preferred. Today I switched carriers from t-mobile UK to giffgaff and also performed OTA update if latest nightly and the option now doesn't let you choose and only has 2g/3g prefered.
Not sure whether it had to do with the update or changing carrier.

Hello,
today I updated to Marshmallow MT7-L09C432B571 and since that update my phone constantly displays it requires roaming. I'm in my usual network which I'm having a dataplan in. I also checked my apn profile, and it's alright. The data works, but only if I enable roaming. I'd rather avoid using that option, so it'd be great to know how to get mobile data without having to activate roaming all the time, especially because I live close to my countries border and my network might change and get me additional costs.
thanks in advance.
I recently installed SuperMAN ROM on my SM-G930F and I can still make calls, receive them, and also receive texts but I can'tsend them. I have tried alt. Messaging apps but none work, I don'twant to enable Premium SMS because my phone bill was $400 more than normal. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Did you upgrade the bootloader and modem as they recommend?
Also check your APN and see if they are correct , check with your carrier they will provide the information , in most cases if you delete them and re start the phone the carrier will send the information automatically

Hi
not sure what you mean , normally your carrier will send that information automatically , if you place a new sim the sim´s carrier will send that information.
Go settings / mobile networks / Access Points Names there you you can see what you have ask your carrier for the correct information and review them or just reset them and reboot , here is resend automatically and configure by itself
What network mode you have selected?

If i am not mistaken the SMS service uses the GSM (2G) band , try and enable that band to see if it works

Ok thankz
With stock firmware, I can receive SMS sent via email. I have tried a few S7 flat custom ROMS and all prevent me from receiving SMS sent by email.
This seems to be the case also when I was still using S6. So what is it with custom ROMS that prevents receiving SMS via email?
Thanks

I never did. I just eventually found a custom ROM that did not have that issue. Forgot which one.
I am now on S8 snap dragon. If you still using S7 exynos, you might want to try Black Diamond by @Kill-Switch.

id be willing to wager that it was the APN. Many custom ROMs build in the APNs to make their ROM foolproof. Dollars to doughnuts its the APN
Is there a way to override the rom's apn? Tello (Sprint MVNO) automatically configures the network settings and doesn't allow to adjust and when I used a RedPocket GSMA (ATT MVNO) sim card, I was able to insert their apn info but still was not able to receive sms text messages.
As a workaround, I am using my Google Voice number forwarded to the phone and all texts are received as long as I have wifi or data connection. Not perfect but it's better than nothing.
BTW, I am working on an LG X Charge SP320 but posted here because of a google search and relevance to the issue in general.
Thanks for the insights and any suggestions.
I have Galaxy S8 plus G955U1 unlocked version using verizon network and I would like to know if there is any way to have WiFi-Calling working on my device? I have VoLTE but wifi calling is disabled and my phone still has premium care warranty and I do not want Root or flashing rom due to the fact I do not want to mess with my phone. If theres an easy way to get wifi-calling can you suggest me how I heard about shortcut master? Please update me!! Thanks.
I'm in the same boat. I don't think it can be activated without some sort of modification.

I was able to activate video calling through the app called "shortcut master lite" but the wifi calling toggle was there but it is not accessable i think it needs some extra codes to put it in.. wifi calling is enabled but the toggle is disabled.

Yea I can see video calling options on my dialer but I have not tested it if it works, you need to call someone from verizon that has video call also...
If you download "Messages+" app from verizon you can use that app and make txt and mms messages even without signal as long as there is wifi I just found that out today. i tried to put on airplane mode but I was able to make text through that verizon messaging app.
I really need wifi-calling activated badly let me know if you have some news

Why not just call tech support and have them reprovision your line? There is some settings that need to be reset on their end.
The only way it will work that I know of is to flash the VZW U version. Believe me I've tried everything and this will also give visual voicemail as well.

I got my S8+ (Canadian model G955W) and it was originally with another carrier. I couldn't enable WiFi calling and some other carrier specific stuff did not work. What I did was change the CSC to the carrier I am with. CSC's are responsible for a lot of things, like the quick toggles in notification panel, WiFi calling settings, MMS size limits, etc. You can check the contents of the CSC files at /system/csc/
I suggest you try flashing CSC from a Verizon stock ROM, and then using the following code in the "Dialer" app to switch the CSC: *#272*[device imei]*
Example: *#272*355154154163115*
You should get a screen like the screenshot I attached, which will let your select your CSC.
BACK UP YOUR STUFF WITH SMARTSWITCH OR SAMSUNG CLOUD AS IT WILL DO A FACTORY RESET AND INSTALL THE CORRECT CSC CONFIGURATION!!!
EDIT: Here is the correct CSC pulled from the latest Verizon firmware (G955USQU1AQK3, Nov. 8). Try flashing it with ODIN and let us know if it works after configuring CSC with the dialer code! LINK: https://drive.google.com/open?id=13xboPjVTDuWBqL2jj4bzQiFi-VVSJ3Xj
