Anyway to add Mobile data toggle on stock, Canadian Galaxy S7? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I have a G930W8, canadian variant. Generally canadian samsung phones, starting from the S4 onwatds never have a mobile data toggle. You used to be able to use SQlite editor and add one in if you were rooted, but thats no longer possible on the S7. if theres anyone out there that knows how to add one, either by an apk or rooting, please let me know!

Install the Samsung Good Lock app from the Galaxy site and it includes a mobile data toggle.

Change LTE (Data Icons)?

To start it off, On my Note 3 SM-N900T I got tired of the T-Mobile data indicators and decided to spice it up, i found that by changing the product build from SM-N900T to SM-N900A made the data icons change to AT&T's data indicators which I preferred much more. After using my T-Mobile Note 5 for about 4 months i decided to do the same for it, except after rebooting I now had the international data indicators instead (4G,H+,3G,H,E,G) i was wondering if since long ago the AT&T icons are no longer included in samsung carrier branded devices? If thats the case, is it possible to change them with root? Any help is greatly appreciated

S7 EDGE antenna

I spoke to a technician in Sprint and he told me the S7 only has one antenna the note 3 has two.
That is the reason why I cannot talk and internet at the same time.
Anyone has any experience on this or can verify this?
Thanks

Guys anyone can shed some light on thus issue? I spoke to a samsung tech guy and told me the reason why the kote 3 can be on data and voice at the snaw time its because the way it connects using g2 and g3. The s7 its using lte and the carrier is jot ready yet to provide that kind of service. Any one can help on this issue?
Also is there a way to force the s7 to use g2 and g3 only?
Thanks

I1 founs this article:
Unfortunately you cannot do this anymore on Sprint. I will list below as to why.
The older phones had two CDMA radios put in them (such as the S3 on Sprint). One dedicated to voice -- another dedicated to data. Therefore you could do voice and data. GSM has always been one radio .. because that one radio can do both tasks at the same time. They got around it on CDMA by simply adding another radio in there and dedicating each one to one task.
Now a days they're getting rid of that second CDMA radio. So therefore you can only use talk, or data -- not both at the same time. Now if you're using VoLTE it will allow voice and data since the call will be going through LTE (as data) and .. data will be data. So it is technically then all data. Verizon can get by since they have VoLTE ... Sprint doesn't yet so .. No other work-around except to just use WiFi while on the call.

International Exynos S7/Edge on T-Mobile USA

I hope I'm posting this in the right place, anyway I plan on switching from an iPhone 6s Plus to either an S7 or S7 edge. And from what I understand the international version of the S7 with Exynos processor is A LOT better in terms of battery life and performance and I would prefer to get this version over the Snapdragon. I know it's possible to do but I have a few questions.
1) Is the coverage the same? Will I get any dropped signals/calls?
2) Will I still get LTE?
3) What exact model of the international version will I need for the best compatibility? (there's an sm-G930F model but I know there are others)
4) Is there any way to get VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling to work?(by flashing or anything else? I've seen some people on XDA have gotten some of these features to work. I don't care about Samsung pay so if there's no way to get that working it's ok)
5) Will I have any other issues pulling this off or should it be relatively easy?
Yes it will work as bands are supported

Using Verizon note 5 on T-Mobile

Sorry if this has been posted before....but is it possible to flash a T-mobile ROM on a Verizon note 5?
I left big red for T-Mobile and bought a unlocked Note 5 that was originally on Verizon.
It works fine with T-Mobile and I am overall happy with the network.
However I travel a lot and would like the option of WIFI calling and also to be able to use the free in air txting on GOGo inflight.
In order to do that it seems I need the T-mobile firmware? Or is this something I can flash?
As the phone is now I have no option to turn on WIFI calling in any of the the settings.
Thanks!
Nope. If you try. You will soft brick it. Only way to recover is Odin back to stock TMO firmware. I attempted with and s4 and s6 from Verizon. I eventually caved and ponies dup for a TMO note 5. The lack of volte alone killed me.
I have a N920V as well and am now using t mobile with great Lte speeds. You 1)dl BK Package Disabler app for Samsung, 2)give it admin permission and disable all Verizon packages (except Mobile Hotspot And Tethering to keep that function), 3)input APN settings for t mobile manually, then reboot. I am unrooted and have great network functionality that rivals Verizons so called superior service.
For in flight free texting there is no need for TM firmware. I have international Note 4 (N910F) with generic rom for TM plan. GoGo works fine during my frequent Delta flights.
I have s7 verizon and have used many verizon galaxy on t-mobile. Wi-Fi calling cant be added. I am able to use the internet intermittently whilst talking but on 3g. On some verizon phones it was nothing while talking.
I have the nexus 6 on Verizon. I really would like to have the note 5. Will the T-Mobile note 5 work on Verizon?

Unlocked phone missing Tethering

I recently bought unlocked S8+ SM-G955U.
Unfortunately it's network options are very limited, in comparison to AT&T S8+. Can't seem to find tethering options or HD voice (enhanced) and I need tethering for work.
Contacted Samsung guy at bestbuy he says he can't help.
Any advise?
I have the unlocked SM-G955U1 and it has tethering in the Notification Center.
Not sure what could be the deal with yours.
Try settings then connection, In connection you will find Mobile hotspot and tethering. exynos version. FD955
