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 !

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.

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.
Will the Honor 8 have VoLte/ band 12 for T-mobile? I think there is lesser chance for wifi calling which is fine but band 12 is a must for T-mobile imo.

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.

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.

Hello
I have question... do any of you use it Samsung note 10+ SM-N9750 international unlocked with US carriers?
it's this model samsung unlocked for volte & wifi calling for any US operators? (like, t-mobile, at&t, google fi or for other? )
Thank you
SM-N9750 is a dual sim, unlock work on LTE but you will see 4G, it work in Canada and US however does not support VOLTE, wifi calling, samsung RCS does not work, if you want the RCS you need to download the Google message app, now there is a thread already where you can root the device and enable the VOLTE and wifi calling. hope this help.

From what I understand, you can call Tmobile and register your IMEI with them (unlocked device). After that VoLTE and Wifi calling will work, but not video calling.

Which model note 10+ do I need to have? only with Snapdragon (of course I'm only interested in the dual sim version) will it also work on Exynos?
Thank you

Essentially, you will only be able to connect to 1 LTE band at a time, which means you will see slower speeds compared to a US Note10+. Basically, no problem with LTE data but could have slower data speed sometimes compared to US Note10+.

Settings screenies attached. I am using both sims as you can see I have 2 dialing buttons.
AT&T doesn't open up VoLTE and VoWifi to non whitelisted phones, so it only shows on one sim. I just turn the setting off because it doesn't work anyways.

Reviving an old post here...
Are you still using this device and still with AT&T and T-Mobile. Any long term issues or challenges?
I'm on the same carriers; T-Mobile personal (and primary) and AT&T (work). I'm most concerned about VoWiFi and VoLTE on T-Mobile. With AT&T, as long as it rings and I can get texts, I'm good.
Finally, I believe you said further up that you got it on ebay...any chance you recall the seller?
Thanks!

I am not in a rural area or a dense metro area so those do not affect my receptions. Also I mainly use AT&T and switch to T-Mobile for data depending on reception.
Speed wise, it will be slower on benchmarks due to the lack of carrier aggregation (and b29, b30 missing for AT&T), but it doesn't affect my real world usage: chat/email, web browsing, music streaming, remote desktop.

All,
I was wondering how are your experiences with Verizon while using OP7P.
I live in the SF Bay Area, signal has been pretty good out in the open, but as soon as I walk into a concrete building, the signal completely dies, not just weak. Anyone having similiar experience?
Also I have been hearing that this would change for Verizon in 2020? Can someone elaborate and confirm? I have an oppty to switch to ATT but I'd like to stick with Verizon if possible .
Any one?
I had the same problem. Because Verizon uses CDMA, and the OP7 does not, phone calls only work when the phone is connected to LTE. It will not work
on the Verizon 3G network. As you said, Verizon is supposed to be doing away with the CDMA thing soon, but apparently not yet. I had to switch
to AT&T, as they have a strong LTE signal in my area, as opposed to Verizon, which did not.
I've used Verizon for many years. I moved at the beginning of the year and have had poor service until I did the thing I never thought I would do. I switched to ATT and have had no further problems. I got the same cheap plan, but with more data, for the same price I was paying Verizon. The worst of it was with Pandora. I cancelled my subscription and may try them again down the road.

No calls when not on LTE is brutal...
I also noticed that when I'm on WiFi and set the Verizon sim as the primary, the status bar will only show signal but not the LTE icon, it comes back as soon as I switch off WiFi.

That's just how Verizon handles signal icons. It will just show what's currently in use. If you have WiFi, it priorities WiFi.
If you want to verify you still have LTE by looking at icons, turn off mobile data and you will see an x where the LTE usually is, even with the WiFi on.

This is how it's going to be for everyone when Verizon ditches CDMA completely. I think a lot of people who still get voice over 3g in fringe areas and don't get a good LTE signal are going to be ticked off.

You should be able to call. Do you have VOLTE at the top in the status bar? What does it say when you dial out?

Most of the time I do. When I was in the concrete building, I was connected to the wifi so maybe I thought I had no mobile data but I did.
I figured it out...nothing wrong with Verizon.
It turns out when I reboot, the network selection for mobile data automatically switch to SIM1 but my Verizon sim is on 2.
All good.
The 7Pro is great on Verizon. I'm in the SF Bay Area and have no issues. I had the 6T before this phone.
Like another poster I have two sims in the phone and since TMobile comes up faster I need to manually switch back to Verizon for data after a reboot.
