Is the Unlocked 935U model a better buy? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers

I know some of you guys just flash the "U" firmware, but I want to just buy the phone unlocked. For the ones that just bought the unlocked phone, instead of flashing the "U" firmware, did you notice any problems using the phone on the VZ network? Do updates actually roll out faster?

No problems at all. I had the U model when it first was released and kept alternating between vzw, tmo and U firmware. Everything worked per the appropriate firmware. Moreover,b it's cheaper on BH photo since they don't charge tax as well

Go to B&H website there you will find the information.

Thanks!
Did just discover it would be pointless for me because in the future if I want to use it on ringplus it won't work

The answer is NO. The Verizon version is CDMA only.

Nope, I flashed the unlocked version on the verizon model and after a week it started running like ****. Just spend an extra 100$ and buy the unlocked model on swappa and call it a day.

You're kidding right? Every major Verizon phone in the last two years is factory unlocked. I'veused a Verizon LG G3, G4, S6,S7 , and S7 Edge on ATT.

Network Unlock u8800-51

Hi,
Is there anyway to remove the network unlock of my ATT Impulse (U8800-51)? I try to flash it with different roms and it always ends up asking me for a network unlock code. I bought one on Ebay but it does not work. Thanks

How does an upgrade of firmware just SIM unlock a phone?
Can anyone else confirm this?

Huawei releases general versions, not specific ones for carriers like Samsung does. So when you flash it it doesn't include your carrier lock information. Just flashing B512(is an international version) over another BXX will unlock the phone.

Does the Verizon model support GSM?

Hey guys I read on LG website that the Verizon variant is global and supports gsm. Is this true? Anyone with a Verizon model try a gsm sim card yet?

Which firmware version were you on when he tried? I believe you have to be on an older firmware first like PC5 before it'll work.
Flash your phone to PC5 and try again.

Unlocked on AT&T

Hello, I just bought an HTC 10 from someone, its unlocked,S-off, and rooted. Currently running NuSense 7.0 with no issues. ATT installed my nano sim, set up APNs and I get 4gLTE. Question is..can I also run US unlocked roms as well?!? Change firmware and/or radios?! If not, could someone direct me in what and how to do it being I'm on ATT?! Thank you for your time.

Yeah you can fully convert to unlocked ruu and then run unlocked based roms. In fact it would probably be better in your case.

Sprint S10 plus network issue (using india) - G975U1

I just bought a good deal on a G975U1 which is a unlocked sprint phone here in India and I'm facing network problem since morning and after some research I realized its a common issue for all sprint S10 plus users.I have to turn airplane mode ON and OFF after some time to make it usable.I'm using JIO network here which is running on 3,5 and 40 LTE band ( VOLTE).Can someone suggest me a good fix if i can use this phone here without any problem? I saw one post regarding disabling band 41 and 25 but whenever i dial ##72786# it showing "MMI complete" but nothing happens.Any custom rom i can install which can fix this problem?

Still no success! it shows LTE with full network bars but not able to use the internet and stop receiving and not able to do phone call after some time! (After an hour or so) I have to put into airplane mode to make it working again which goes for 1-2 hour without any problem!

I use a prepaid. Works fine for me. Some issue with the phone then

Sprint is known to cause problems especially with unlocking and having the phone working on other carriers. If you try flashing the updated unlocked firmware (G975U1UES2BSIV) and it still doesnt work properly on Jio. Then I'd contact Sprint and tell them to unlock it, you might have to provide the original proof of purchase (from seller) to get it to work.
I have SM-G975U device from Verizon and whenever I go to India, both Jio and Vodafone work fine
There was hardware issues with earlier s10plus models that required motherboard replacement. Same symptoms as yours. There's plenty of threads about it on here.
