Hey all, I recently obtained an S5 from a friend, called AT&T, got an unlock code in literally seconds from them and am using the phone. It had stock 4.2.2 and I recently updated it thanks to all the guides here to Marshmallow. I just have a few questions.
1. Does anyone here have this same setup, Metro sim with S5 ATT?
2. If so, how is the reception for you? My bars are low, but it seems to work fine than what it shows.
3. It seems I cannot activate WiFi Calling. Is there any way to do so with this combo? Metro does have Wifi Calling...
4. Is there any root for this combo or any damn way to toggle data faster with this combo?
Thanks.

So like some people here, I have an unlocked AT&T Note 3 running on T-Mobile sim. I'm ok with the AT&T rom. I got the APN settings to work. Voice, 4G/LTE data, and messaging works, but I can't get Wifi Hotspot to work. When I tried to turn it on, it says the sim is invalid. My T-Mobile plan has 2GB of hotspot, so I'm not sure how to get it to work. What do I have to do? Do I have to root and install custom ROM that supports T-mo hotspot?
Thanks for any help.

Download a wifihotspot widget from play store.
then tap on it and immediately press the home button
it may take u several tries, but it will work
lmk if this works for u, cause it works for me, (plus its undetected by tmo)
Having the same issue here with my girlfriends note 3.
Is there a specific widget? Tried with the top two on the play store and it did not work after several tries.

Gurus,
I have a N6 works great, I have one issue though. During a phone call on Verizon the LTE radios are turned off and I have no data. Any way of fixing this?
The device is on band 4 most of the time. Galaxy Note 3 works just fine.
Any radios update? from Verizon ?
TIA

Known issue. Honestly a simple search for Verizon would have given you a bunch of threads about it but long story short, until the device gets Advanced Calling 1.0 it won't have voice and data at the same time. This is no different than any other newer Verizon device.
If you're on wifi you can still use data, but currently can't do call and LTE on Verizon simultaneous with this phone. Rumors of the phone being released on VZ in Feb with 5.1 update and VoLTE in tow, but i'll believe it when i see it.
Hey all, I was wondering if I could use the Metro PCS or T-Mobile roms on my recently updated (and unlocked) AT&T Galaxy S5 on the 6.0.1 update with baseband G900AUCU4DPH2?
If so, what steps (link) should I take to do this? Also, would it be possible if I had to use the T-Mobile rom, can I make wifi calling and video calling? I'm using a Metro PCS sim, and I had a T-Mobile GS4 before and everything worked fine on it, I just can't make Wifi calls with AT&T because they crippled their phone.
Thanks!
Hi, I'm new here but have been using the site for a long time to root several phones of mine over the years. I have a question. I just bought the Galaxy s6 for US Cellular but I have a Cricket SIM and the phone is factory unlocked so when I got it, I had to set up APN to use and now shows as ATT. Cricket ,ATT same company now, I know. The question is, is there a way I can either put this phone on ATT or Cricket stock rom? I have issues with signal bars and I really want Wifi Calling as a bonus. Tried flashing ATT ROM with Odin and 5 files but no luck. PIT failes to re-partition. Any help? Thank you.
Hi. I'm new (and old) so apologies in advance for any faux pas. I couldn't find another thread with a problem like this, so I'm posting a new question.
Here's what happened:
I have been using Ting MVNO SIMs on two Galaxy S8 phones for about 18 months. Preparing for an overseas trip, I asked T-Mo to unlock the phones so I could use foreign SIMs.
T-Mo unlocked the phones, but now I can't get wi-fi calling to work on the Ting SIM. Tried a MintMobile and FreedomPop and the same thing, no option in the tools or phone app to activate wi-fi calling although it is activated at the MVNO and the E911 addresses are correct.
T-Mo says it's impossible that unlocking did that. Well, it happened. Ting doesn't have a clue about how/why it happened or how to fix. Samsung says it's the carrier's problem not theirs.
I factory re-set hoping it would restore the lock, but that didn't do anything. I don't get a signal at my home, so wi-fi calling is necessary. My next step is to buy new phones.
Ideas? Thanks!
