Not sure if anyone else has noticed after the minor update you're able to make wifi calling. Under phone settings you can enable WiFi calling. Even though my phone isn't from EE directly I still have that option.
Anyone else noticed this?
This is interesting. What is your build number? I'm on EE firmware for the use of WiFi calling but already so far behind on OTAs

My S7 edge is sim free.
Does the WiFi calling icon appear properly etc? Presumably your firmware is Btu? I'm tempted to try this myself

I've updated it today not noticed anything different.
I now have WiFi calling section in phone settings after update.
I am on xeu sim free version from CPW with EE pay monthly.
Mrs has same phone and software but on o2 and no WiFi calling section for her.

It's only if your network supports wifi calling which only EE does in the UK.
So if you stick your sim in your wife's phone should have the WiFi calling option.
Whats your CSC riz157? BTU or EVR?
I currently have a SM-G935F also from Carphone Warehouse with XEU CSC and I can confirm that I am now able to enable EE WiFi calling on my unlocked & unbranded handset.
It is also my understanding that select Vodafone customers are able to get WiFi calling, haven't tested this myself but check with Vodafone customer services to see if you can get it. Should work the same way!
O2 and Three (plus the many MVNOs) in the UK have not enabled WiFi calling as of yet or have their own versions (i.e. O2 TuGo Application).
Got a text from EE this morning that wifi calling now available on my unbranded handset
Not seeing the option on Voda even though I had it in my 6S+ a few week ago. So I guess my account is setup correctly etc.

Vodafone supports WiFi calling too, at least for the iPhone 6 and S6 range.

I've just flashed BTU and after a 200Mb update I also have WiFi calling excellent! No more carrier lagged updates.
Edit: on EE that is..
I'm on the PD1 firmware, which is meant to be exactly the same as pd3 and it's not working for me. Bare in mind im on a custom rom, but still.
It's someone with btu/evr able to upload their system\csc folder for me please?

My phone originally came with XEU and I flashed EVR specifically for WiFi calling. Flashed BTU today and after the setup and 200mb ota update the WiFi calling appears.
All you need to do is download the BTU firmware from sammobile and add all files to odin (excluding home_csc) and flash. Once flashed go through the phone setup and manually search for updates.
Flashing official firmware with odin does not trip knox.

Im in Perth and my S7 Edge is rooted while using the German Firmware APD1.
Thats it, no Xposed or any other modification.
When I launch my NAB bank app, its just black screen, can anyone else try? Im trying to find out if its the firmware or just NAB itself.
thanks
Banking apps sometimes dont work with root. Root cloak for xposed may help

Latest firmware is not out for Australia yet. I keep checking Sammobile every day for it. It shouldn't be too long now before they release it.
Does it matter which carrier your on. As optus vs Telstra vs the rest... When we get the updates of the ota, what's good about Sammobile?

nevermind, I just checked the Play Store link for NAB,
people are complaining about it. Seems the app is not compatible with the April Update of Android.
I had root on my S7 Edge when I was in February 1 Update and the NAP app works. it stopped when I updated to April 1

Flashing unbranded or another country firmware means you'll lose VoLTE. Might not be an issue for many people, just thought I'd mention it.

whats VoLTE? is the LTE?
LTE/4G is working fine
EDIT!, just looked it up its Voice Over LTE, It seems to be a rare thing to have in Australia, only one telco has it and im not with them.
EDIT2: hey mate your from here too!, Telstra offers them to some few places, im with Optus
Telco devices in Australia are on the Feb patch, unbranded has March.
I debranded my phone with Aus fw, no root. This means Samsung Pay should work when it comes out here.
I like the firmware but not willing to root/cfw as yet... Kind of like being on a standard rom. Everything works as expected! Plus I'm sick of the setup process starting from scratch.. Does unbrandeding, root, new firmware loose all settings?

You don't get root, so warranty is not affected, but you start from scratch.

Yes, you loose all settings (just like new device), you start from scratch, Knox will be tripped if you root (warranty now voided), but you get the latest security patches and device updates,
Also de-branding and rooting it removes carrier bloatware and unlocks your device.
Got a new Nexus 5X yesterday and unlocked it before I got going. After installing all the security updates I installed the NAB app to find I also get the black screen. Was wondering if it was something to do with rooting etc but if you guys are having the same issue after the recent security updates would that be a more likely cause?
I bought G935FD from Amazon 3 weeks ago- it's unlocked and carrier-free. I've been using it out of the box, no root. Some parts of the box was typed in Arabic indicating it's from/for UAE.
I live in US and have been using MetroPCS (uses T-mobile network). It seems to work flawlessly.
1. Will I get OTA updates? I doubt MetroPCS will do it for this international version from UAE.
2. If above is no, what's the best way to get the latest updates / how do I know my phone has the latest version?
3. What are CSC and PDA?
4. I came across this link: Which country is best for me living in US? Should I continue to use the stock UAE it came with? Any advantage for other countries? (some countries get latest updates faster?)
As for updating FW- a step-by-step guide is appreciated. I've been reading up, and it involves using Odin, but there seems to be tons of different country/region versions for G935FD- and I get concerned about bricking my phone or messing it up.
So many questions.

1. You should get OTA updates. They will come from Samsung and not your carrier.
3. CSC is your region and or carrier code that identifies your Samsung firmware.
4. OJV may not update as often as the other UAE firmware (XSG). A lot of Americans run XSG or Spanish AMO. If ya need help. You can PM me and I'll help get ya sorted.

1. So why XSG or AMO for G935FD users in US over hundreds of other countries? What's makes those two compatible? If I use other countries, what happens to the phone?
2. Which one do you use?
3. This is bit of a different topic, does your phone suffer from Media Server battery drain? Mine does and that's what prompted me to update my phone hoping there's a fix out (deleting/backing up pics help, but it reoccurs)

Most people use those firmwares over others because they support Samsung pay. I personally use AMO because it has the add benefit of wifi calling and and white pages. As for the battery drain issue. You shouldn't be having that issue. I know I don't experience that issue with AMO. It could be a problem that was fixed in a later patch.

That's the correct one. Since you're switching firmwares use the AMO_CSC file rather than the Home_CSC file. That way it'll wipe your phone clean. Make sure youve got security PIN setup because you'll be asked for it after reset. Other than that. Just follow the instructions and it'll be smooth sailing.

Thanks. I'm learning a lot here. Getting ready to do it now. More Qs:
1. So with AMO, I can now use Samsung Pay? Is this the correct version for my phone? I presume this is not available on Google Play because it bypasses Samsung bloat if done through the phone? (if so, I need to manually update this app as new versions get released?)
2. Will wifi calling also work too as MetroPCS supports too right? (it did for my previous phone on MetroPCS)
3. This G935F firmware should work flawlessly despite my phone being G935FD right? I think I read this, just making sure.
4. How does whitepages work- AMO comes with it or do I need to download White Pages app?

You'll need to install the Samsung pay framework and Samsung pay app in that order from APK mirror website. Just read the description for the app before you download to be sure its the US version and it's compatible with the frame work. In order to make white pages work you'll need to enable it from the Phone app settings. G935F works with FD.

If you go to a U Rom the downside you might lose your band 30 and the carrier aggression. AT&T doesn't have a Unlocked rom. So you would have to use XAA 935U which is a universal American unlocked ROM. AT&T uses band 30 pentrate inside buildings where band 17, 2, 4 and 5 can't get. But that's the only downside being unlocked with AT&T.
But can I update once the Nougat firmware comes out?

If it's the 935U you will be automatically have an update. You probably get that sometime later this month or next month. Since they only do quarterly updates. I think carriers in the US should start seeing Nougat next week. I'm on a Tmobile rom for that reason and to have other features that the unlocked rom doesn't have on it.

Download and run KNOX Status Samsung from the play store.
If your phone had Knox tripped, this program will tell you.
Knox tripped - no OTA.
If it comes back good, take your wife's sim card out and put it in your phone, then check OTA updates that way.

So I took a chance and went ahead and flashed my ATT S8+ To Tmobile firmware G955USQU1AQEF with stock odin and I can confirm it's working 100% Wi-Fi calling, Volte, Video calling.
