So last time I had a Samsung device it was a S3 and I have been using and loving my nexus 6 however it finally got a nasty crack in it so I'm downgrading to a Samsung s6. My nexus 6 was originally from AT&T and I just had to fill out some form online to unlock it to work on tmobile and I plan to do the same with the s6 however i was reading up and someone said their are differences between the s6 on AT&T and tmobile most notably Hotspot and wifi calling are disabled. Is this still true? Will I need to flash a TMobile ROM on my s6? Or will those features be unlocked once I insert my tmobile sim card? Thanx in advance.

I am currently using an unlocked verizon GS6 on the ATT network. It is working fine, but it seems like my girlfriends ATT iphone 6 always has better service. Is this because my phone is the Verizon version? Would it make sense to flash the ATT GS6 firmware onto the phone? I am hoping to get rid of some of that annoying verizon crap like the notification saying my sim card is not verizon. Can't wait for CM to come out on this phone. Thanks in advance.
I currently have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime (SM-G530T) and I am planning on switching to MetroPCS' $40 plan.
I have tried searching Google with mixed answers.
Anybody know if I can switch to MetroPCS and get a SIM Card and use it in my T-Mobile phone?

You do know T-Mobile owns Metro PCS, right?
As long as it's SIM unlocked.
Yes I am aware T-Mobile owns MetroPCS that's why I asked because I tried my Family Mobile SIM in a MetroPCS phone I found and it didn't work at all yet there's a video on YouTube that shows MetroPCS working on a locked T-Mobile iPhone 5s although I don't think it was actually locked..
Turns out family mobile locked their phones now and i switched to cricket, gave that phone to my mom... Luckily it was one of the last fammo phones to work with a tmo card

There is a lot of info about the Samsung Galaxy S6 for other carriers but not so much for the Straight Talk Samsung Galaxy S6 (S907VL).
I'm interested in buying this phone but I'm not sure whether this device is carried locked and if so whether it's easy to unlock.
Besides that, does anyone know whether this phone supports overseas GSM bands?
Lastly I would like to know more about what kind of ROMs are flashable on this phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
straight talk phones are sim locked and ST will not unlock them
I just picked this one up a couple days ago and so far I love it, but I've had no luck finding any info about this model (SM-S907VL) I'm mostly looking for root and maybe a custom recovery but I'm at a bit of a lose here
As far as the Sim unlock goes, I thought ST would only allow unlocks after a year of active service, but maybe but don't hold me to that
Need root and ability to use a rom that is upgraded to android 7
Upgraded my s5 to the s6 edge and i'm trying to get it on the network. The s5 has a large sim and the s6 has the micro sim so i couldn't just swap. Went to verizon. took the phones down and there system would not open up my new s6 phone. i checked online and the esn is not black listed but it also says no results found. the seller is trustworthy and said he unlocked it and used it on t-mobile for years, verizons plan was to have me bring in a phone that had a micro sim and would register. they would make a working sim. then switch them right back out.
What are your thoughts suggestions and ideas, i will be calling verizon again be 100 percent positive that if a friend brings down their verizon phone and does it for me that they wont have any issues at all.
I pay so much for this verizon unlimited that it really is a shame they cant get me fixed up, and switching plans is not an option. thanks everyone
I have a Galaxy S8 plus (SM-G955U) that i received from Sprint. I paid it off and had it unlocked by sprint. I inserted my new Tmobile sim card but i am having some network issues and I would like some of the features tmobile has. I have seen posts with a long list of steps for flashing the firmware but I was wondering if there was anyone who would take the time to walk me through this as i havent done this before? Thank you in advance.
