If you open the phone dialer application and then click the more option in the top right corner and click settings you should have a option for wifi calling if you scroll right to the bottom of the page this is where you will find the wifi calling option.

Hi,
First place I looked and it is not there, spoke to Vodafone and Samsung, but, to no avail.
Thanks for information though.

I'm not sure then I've been reading that Vodafone isn't adding wifi calling to BTU phones they only add wifi calling feature to their own phones which have their firmware. I purchased my s7 edge sim free off contract so it is fully unlocked and has the BTU firmware and when I put my EE sim only contract in the wifi calling feature showed up in the place I directed you to. It probably is just that Vodafone hasn't pushed the wifi calling feature to phones that aren't from them.

Ah ok. That is a shame as my phone is sim free. I might just put a EE sim in there to see if the option turns up.
Thanks again for all your help.

If you're rooted, you can try changing your CSC to VOD (VODafone)

You can't do it without root. I am with Vodafone UK and on the BTU firmware and I don't see the WiFi calling option, but changing the CSC to VOD will bring back that option. Some features are controlled by CSC so you won't see them on a different firmware.

putting an EE sim in should make it work and bring the WiFi calling option up but i think it might have to be a pay monthly sim because EE don't support WiFi calling for pay as you go plans.

I believe putting in an EE SIM, turning on WiFi calling and then putting in a Vodafone SIM will make the option disappear. I'm not sure if this is what the OP is trying to do.

Who knows, it's still worth a try it might enable wifi calling and retain the feature when the Vodafone SIM is put back in.

Galaxy S7 Edge Doesn't Display LTE?

Hi Friends,
I'm on the Canadian side. Bought the phone with Wind Mobile, had to activate with their SIM, but then unlocked it with an unlocking code Wind provided like two hours after.
I'm now on Telus network, but the phone does not show LTE. I do recall it showing 4G/LTE when I was using the Wind sim.
Anyone have any solutions? Suggestions?
Anyone? Many thanks
Does telus has LTE? Wind doesn't have LTE, it has 4g...i am on rogers... Just another question.. Do you have Mobile Data toggle? I don't hve it.

Yes Telus has LTE. Wind doesn't. I'm using the same SIM card I used on the iphone 6, and the iphone 6 displays LTE no problem with this SIM.
I don't think I have mobile data toggle.

Did you try changing the CSC to Telus? Maybe the fact that it's a wind phone disables the LTE. Just thinking out loud.

I haven't tried that but very possible that could be the solution. Do you mind letting me know how I would go about doing that? Having stayed away from androids for 2 years now makes me basically an idiot rookie.

Sure thing! You need to go in your dealer and dial *#272*(insert imei)# this will take you to the csc page. If you don't know what your imei is dial *#06# and write it down. Make sure you write down the first 15 digits as it might give you 2 extra. (after a dash of course)
Once you're in there you should see your csc as GLW I think that's the wind one. If what you want is Telus then select tls.
If it's already tls leave it. That's won't resolve your issue.
***Warning***
This will wipe your device
Hope that works for you bud :thumbup:

Your phone supports LTE+. All Canadian Galaxy s7 edge models are same regardless of carrier and contain all network bands offered by the respective carriers. I believe Roger's offers 4g if I'm not mistaken which is quite similar to LTE+. If you want LTE+ just change your CSC to BMC and put in a bell Sim card as long as your phone is unlocked. Then u will get LTE+.

[Q] g935k/g930k anyone using a Korean s7 in the US?

Anyone been able to use the Korean S7 in the US? I'm on AT&T and want to use Samsung pay without having to be limited to no tethering on the AT&T model.

I have just got Korean S7 edge and it works with AT&T besides the fact that I cannot setup Samsung Pay. It gives me a message "insert a SIM card of the country you are in".
AT&T SIM is in, so I have no idea what is the issue with it. All other stuff is working fine

Yes, same time you get that message. Maybe your phone was branded by Olleh, right? See at booting time. Many my friends reported if any korean version phone with Olleh will be facing that problem. But if SK Telecom no problem. I dont know why. So, I wanna cross flashing using G935F firmware. But I'm so scary if bricked

Yes my phone is Ollleh. I am not a specialist, but the more I read, more I convinced that G935F should fit.
At worst case, if bricked you can reflash Korean FW back

I am not sure if I prefer to flash stock and get Samsung Pay or just root and clean the current one (or flash custom afterwards), giving up on Samsung Pay
Second option looks like less risky to me :laugh: I will take my time to think about it

Android Pay in the US using an international SM-G935FD

I have a stock (no root/nothing custom) SM-G935FD (dual sim edge) that I use with a single AT&T postpaid sim in the USA. I never had issues activating android pay unless the phone was rooted using a credit card with a US address. Now anytime I try to add a credit card on android pay, I get the error message that android pay cannot verify the integrity (or maybe compatibility, cannot remember the exact error message) of my current rom and doesn't let me activate. I know I used to get the error message on the rooted phones but all stock (no knox tripped etc) phone shouldn't give this message right? Btw, I tried this with stock UK and Arab Emirates roms (the latter is the original rom that came with it). There is no US based stock rom for this variant.
Seems like there is some sort of root maybe? Not sure but I've only seen that happen when there is root. I have root and Android pay and it works. Of course I set it up before I rooted the device.
Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
no root at all. Stock rom refreshed from smart switch just to make sure it is OK. That's why it is so random.

Yes, it was. I can't believe that this was the issue. After going back to normal, the card added just fine. I will give it a try at whole foods to see whether it will go through and let you guys know.
Thanks. That's why I love Xda forums. There are definitely some knowledgeable people around

I don't really use Android Pay now that I have Samsung Pay, but I remember for giggles I tried to setup AP and got the same thing. Took a few days but yeah, wish Sammy would fix that... then again, the display scaling feature is hidden on my device.

Which CSC's? I tried BTU (which is UK) and the original AFG with no luck. I don't think you can combine the AP file from a G935F with a CSC file from a G935T/A/V? Can you?

[UK ONLY] Places Tab on Samsung Dialer

Could all you guys and girls with a S8 or S8+ confirm if you have the places tab on your dialer and if so what network are you on and what firmware revision do you have installed as well?
Yes I do. Unbranded S8. AQDG firmware.

Thanks for the quick response (xda won't let me press the thank you button for some reason)
P.S I am on Vodafone with the phone brought directly from Vodafone.
Looks like for some reason Vodafone have decided to disable it on their firmware, got confirmation from a mate and others on the interweb that they also have the places option on the dialer.
I think it's network dependant. I have an un-branded UK phone and places doesn't show up. The option to see caller ID is there but greyed out.
Maybe it is to do with network. FWIW I'm on Three.
I have the places tab available, my S8+ is from the O2 Store with O2 firmware.

Got bored so flashed my phone to XEU and this enabled places and wifi calling is still working so now I have a phone which has both features enabled with less bloatware so all round much happier now.
Still need to get it unlocked but cannot do this until more than 30 days has passed.

4G or LTE on s10+

Well, I searched for this thread but couldnt find it, if theres a original post, im sorry for making a new one, but I had S9 and always on the top right corner was LTE icon for my cellular network. I bought S10+ and with the same SIM and same cellular, im getting 4G and 4G+ only, no more LTE. I know LTE is basically the same as 4G, but still it looks nicer to me when it says LTE. Maybe its up to the firmware, I dont know. Some advices?

I had the same issue after csc change tht aftr I used *#272*imei# =>>turned my s10+ INS/INS, INS/INS into BTU/BTU/, BTU/INS. It always was LTE in my netwrk tht suddenly became 4G+. I dint worry at 1st but ws shocked whn the phone lost call recording feature, caller ID and spam protection, offers showd in pound in Samsung members app instead of INR. I could never fix ths issue bcz tht csc changing code was unidirectional, it dint work after the phone became a BTU phone. None of the old methods to change csc worked. I got the phone replaced by Samsung aftr few weeks of struggle nd thn all became normal.
Probably have to root your F model phone to get LTE to display. You better off asking this question in the other forum section for a more accurate answer.

Mine has 4G and LTE. I win!
But yes, the icons are dependent on csc.. each carrier can tweak the icons to their liking, if u look through the csc code you will see what i mean.
i dunno if any apps exist (they used to) that let u change the icons but i would just go that route if i were you.
