Has anyone gotten an Exynos S7 to work in the US with any of our carriers?
I'm so desperate for a rooted S7 Edge that I'm ready to change carriers if I have to. :crying:
It probably will work but it won't work well, especially with T-Mobile (no band 12 or VoLTE). Just wait m8
I have been using g930s variant along with g930f kernel + roms in the us tmobile. I live in DC and LTE has been just fine. Maybe i am missing a band but whatever

I'm using the Exynos S7 on cricket and it works flawlessly. Performance is stellar, battery life is incredible and I get great LTE coverage everywhere.

How can you confirm that? I got the Exynos international version, with T-Mobile SIM card. I have AIDA64 but not sure where to look to confirm or deny that the LTE Band 12 is not there.
Cheers,

T-Mobile has to certify and allow the phone to work on band 12 or else it won't be able to make 911 calls. They've verified the US S7 but I don't think they verified the international version.
Hello there,
Well, I can confirm that LTE Discovery App shows the LTE Band 12 working with T-Mobile. I have walked around the building where I work, and it switches back and forth from Band 4 to Band 12.
Hope this helps someone asking if the Samsung Galaxy Exynos International Version SM-G930F works with T-Mobile LTE Band 12 !
Cheers,

it's frustrating that others have said recently that band 12 is NOT supported. what about wifi calling?
Hi there !
I belive that WIFI calling and the reduced Internet speed while on a phone call, are the two things that are different on the Exynos. Tell me how to check and make sure WiFi doea not work and I will try for you. I have tested the second one, and indeed the Internet speed is way reduced when talking on phone. Depending where you are, it is either H+ or 3G.
Hope that helps !

i believe there should be a setting for wifi calling within the "more connection settings". if it's not showing within the settings, then it's not supported.
as for band 12, how reliable is that app you used? a lot of people have mentioned that band 12 is not supported on the exynos model, so i'm really curious how yours has it.
thanks!
OK, there is no WiFi calling setting under there.
As for how reliable the App is, I have no idea, sorry. I searched and found it was mentioned in XDA for checking this kind of settings/capabilities. I will take a screen capture of it once I am in a building and it is showing the band used. My understanding is that LTE Band 12 is particularly good and improves signal inside buildings.

ok thanks for checking! yea band 12 is important for me, as i'm in NYC and inside buildings all the time. the extended range would definitely help.

That's because the Exynos version doesn't support VoLTE. Idk about WiFi calling though

Well i have Canadian Exynos Verison of S7, while roaming in US i had full LTE coverage of both AT&T and T-Mobile and with really good speeds

The Internattional version does support band 12. and it works, however for VoLTE you have to find a firmware that has it which is hard. the Czech t-mobile firmware has VoLTE but no WiFi calling
The "F" international version also has Band 17 for AT&T
why do people who DON'T have the phone act like they know what they are talking about.
Works fine on T-Mo, and ATT. you just miss out on some of the bands, and also carrier features like VoLTE.
my 930F works fine on Tmo. and it'll work fine on ATT as well.
Anyone's who already have the phones, does volte work on T-Mobile band 12? Wanna make sure before I pre order one.
Thank you
Yes

Have a mate 9 US model and it does support t-mobile band 12 and VoLTE, I used t-Mobile's BYOD app to make sure.
You can get a mate 9 on Amazon at a good deal.
I'm on stock updated nougat in the US with tmobile. Lte works perfectly but drops out entirely when I'm on a voice call. Any clue what to do?

As I understand, volte is just that--voice over lte to provide higher call quality. I don't care about that. All I want is to be able to do lte and voice at the same time. So shouldn't the lack of volte capability not matter?

I'm using straight talk, at&t compatible sim, sometimes mine does that too, but, not all the time.
It may be a specific tower(s) that can't handle the load or something. When it happens, mine drops to H+ on the display.

I think it's normal. I've it and I also had it on my Samsung Galaxy S4.
Hi,
For when VoLTE is not supported by the device/network, LTE is used just for data and the phone will fallback (CSFB) to 3G or 2G for voice calls. This happens on all 4G (LTE) devices.
Cheers
Will they support T-Mobile LTE band 71
Yea, I'm 99% sure. Since it will have Snapdragon 845 like the Galaxy S9- that supports b71. We should also see VoLTE and WiFi calling like in all other OnePlus phones.
I read this on another site. It doesn't looked like it

That references the OnePlus 5T. I think they have just taken last year's model and updated it as a place holder. I don't think it's official information.

Like how @holz75 mentioned, check the spec in Oneplus website.
Does anyone know if it will support dual VoLTE standby for 2 sims?
This is from OnePlus website. Click on the Check Carrier Compatability link
Came here to ask a similar question. Now that the details and specs have all been released... I've always had carrier phones, currently with Tmobile. Using the op6 in north america(florida) will this phone get the same kind of reception and network speeds as a carrier branded phone would, like an s9 or lg bought from a tmobile store?
Thanks

It should be very comparable. 4x4 MIMO, with 256 QAM and cat 16 LTE. I'm in North Florida too and the OP5 had good reception here.
Anyone tested to see if we can connect to band 71 on T-Mobile
http://www.spectrumgateway.com/600-mhz-spectrum#phones
T-mobile Band 71. One plus 6 listed.
Everything related to Band 71 from Tmobile is listed here.
No band 3 which kinda sucks for T-Mobile

I'm in PA but I can tell you my wife has an s9+ and although her reception is fine, mines better on the op6 on metro (which is T-Mobile). As for band 71, I don't have much of that deployed near me but I've used most other bands listed on oneplus' website so I think it'll work fine.

Why does this matter? I'm on T-Mobile and OnePlus 6 works like a charm. In full bar areas, I'm getting 100 mbps
Any one Using Axon 10 pro in USA . When I check I see missing US bands on the phone so want to know that it will work or not
it supports enough bands for LTE with AT&T/T-mobile so it should work perfectly fine in the usa
Showing 10 out of 16 LTE bands for US, not bad.

I live in San Diego and on T-Mobile at it works fine.

My brother brought note 9 international version and he is having so much trouble getting calls, most of the calls goes to voicemail because range issues. When i check Band 66, 71 Lte bands are missing. Is that okay?

Lyca, they use Tmobile network
I'm using an EU model with a Fi sim, works fine.
I'm using the Chinese 8/256 version and it works fine in terms of calls and data but messaging is iffy. Looks like about a third of the SMS people send me is not getting through to me. It appears T-Mobile is using several bands for texting and one or two of those are not supported by this phone. I am now looking at switching carriers but still haven't figured out which one is using all the bands this phone has.
I have imported this phone from China as well. I have the 128GB version. I am on T-MOBILE and everything works fine. There are a couple of issues with the Chinese OS shutting down Google Assistant and the Google news feed, as well as, not being able to access backups on Google, but other than those minor issues, the phone works fine.
The ZTE website for the US shows the Axon 10 Pro has more bands than the kimovil states. I'll believe the manufacturer. Therefore, purchasing the US version of the phone should allow you to use it on many carriers. I've even heard that users on Verizon could use it if they have the phone provisioned for CDMA-less service. (Verizon does this with many other phones, like the Razer Phone 2)
If your planning on using it with a tmobile mvno, the US model has full tmobile band support both 66/71 bands, wifi calling and VoLTE

Haven't tried it yet. First thing I did was unlock the bootloader, rooted with magisk. When I checked the widevine drm, shows it as L3. Won't play Netflix in HD. Someone will have to check their widevine level before unlocking bootloader to verify.
