Hi everyone,
I'm new here but I hope someone can help.
I bought an old S6 Active from the US for my husband to use on the EE network in the UK. It all works fine, no issues at all, but I really need to activate the WiFi Calling option which is currently greyed out under Settings>Connections.
I've been doing quite a bit of reading around and from the EE forums they suggest flashing EE firmware onto the phone and this should allow the WiFi Calling option.
First question, is this correct?
Second question is, I cannot find any non-AT&T firmware that is specific to the S6 Active model that I have (SM-G890A). There is plenty of firmware for the S6, of various model numbers, including UK EE firmware from Sammobile.com. The question is can I use an S6 firmware on the S6 Active and if so what model's firmware can I use?
Details of the phone I have are:
Model No. Samsung-SM-G890A
Android version: 7.0
Baseband version: G890AUCS7DRA2
Kernel version: 3.10.61-12599862
[email protected] #1
Build number: NRD90M.G890AUCS7DRA2
I've not logged into any accounts or used the phone in any way yet, so if anything needs doing that may wipe the phone it is not a problem.
Thanks very much for any help.

Hello, all,
About four of five days ago I upgraded by Tab's firmware via Kies. Now the 3G data connection is painfully slow. I connect via Wind in Italy. Here are some other details:
Firmware version: 2.2
Baseband version: P1000XXJMF
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FROYO.XXJMG
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Should I consider changing it to an unofficial ROM or a Gingerbread ROM?
I hadn't connected to Kies for a long time because I didn't have too many problems I couldn't live with.
Thanks in advance!
And yes, I did search for this problem but couldn't find anything particular to my circumstances.

Wind is t-mobile frequencies. What modem (baseband) did you have before the upgrade?

I don't know. I've never upgraded the firmware and bought this here in Italy when it first came out last October, if that tells you anything.
Settings > about > baseband.
What do you see?
Does the thing end in JPZ?
I have a Samsung 7” tablet that was purchased from T-Mobile. I have contacted both Samsung and T-Mobile to try to get an updated OS for this device, but can not get anything from either one. I get pushed off from one to the other saying it is up to the other to provide a software update. There are other users on T-Mobiles site that have the same issue and anything I could find out I will gladly pass on to help them also. There are some features on the new OS that I and others would like to have installed. Can someone please help! I use this device for my business on a daily basis and any help would be greatly appreciated. The device information is listed below.
Samsung 7” Galaxy Tab
Model: SGH-T849
Firmware: 2.2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build Number: FROYO.UVJJB
Carrier: T-Mobile
Can someone let me know the following questions:
1. What is the most current OS that can be installed on my tablet?
2. Where can I find the software and directions to install it?
3. Is there any known issues that need to be addressed after the software is installed.
4. Is there a modem driver that needs to be installed in order for the data package to work?
Thank you for your time and look forward to a reply.

David,
As of now, the highest OFFICIAL TMobile USA firmware is 2.2 (Froyo). There have been other official firmware released for other regions that are 2.3.3 (Gingerbread). These are updates for the GT-P1000 (International Version) rather than for the T-849 (TMobile USA Version). They are in essence the same device as I understand it with support for different wireless bands (ie. different antennas; this would be taken care of by modem firmware which can be flashed independently).
There are numerous roms available if you have a rooted Tab. Obviously stay away from any that are built for Sprint or Verizon. Overcome makes a solid rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317384) but if you are going after the stock experience I would suggest http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312329. Full instructions on how to download and install can be found on the linked pages. If you are using the Tab on the Tmobile network, I would always stick with the TMobile modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069727).
Hope this helps.
Thank You,
I appreciate your response to a long drawn out issue I have been fighting with. I understand T-Mobiles firmware issues and at this point T-Mobile or Samsung are not going to release an update for this device. I have a few questions I would like to ask if you wouldn’t mind. I am new at this whole process and want to make a quality decision.
1. Is there any advantage or additional features added to the Overcome version of the OS verses the other two? I am looking for a straight forward installation without a lot of issues and some gained performance.
2. Is there any advantages of going with one of the other two stock ROMs?
3. Is Overcome ROM a newer version than the other two versions posted?
On another note I have a couple of questions you may be able to answer if you do not mind.
1. Is there any way of getting the layered applications feature from the Honeycomb OS on the Gingerbread OS?
2. Is there a browser that will allow for the websites to be displayed in Full or Desktop mode on the Gingerbread OS?
3. Do you know if there will be any builds coming out that this tablet may support? Such as Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich? I know there are some hardware requirements that may need to be addressed.
Thank you again for your time and help!
I was recently running on stock ROM on my SM-N910F (International) on android 5.1.1. After the recent auto update to Android 6.0 my model had change its model & my phone now is running on T-Mobile stock ROM Andoid 6.0. My model now is captured as SM-N910T.
This ROM is just fantastic only issue i had was with my mobile data transfer. When i do a speed test i managed only to get 0.05 Mbps only, this was not the issue when i was running on stock ROM international version. This is frustrating as i cant do much with that speed only works on wireless.
Solution: I tried flashing the stock ROM, my phone doesn't recognize the stock ROM i assume it could be because the model had changed to SM-N910T plus my built in TWRP is gone so i cant flash anything via zip file.
Can someone please assist me & put my misery away for good?

Have you tried going into Mobile Networks/Network Operators?
In some cases if you turn on airplane mode and turn it on after about 30sec to a minute your signal should fully return.
Hello!
I recently switched to T-Mobile and I need to install T-Mobiles Android version on my wife's phone - Note 5 - to help with Dropped calls and enable Wi-Fi calling. I was able to do this no problem on my S7. The error I receive on the Note 5 is here
Is it possible to run T-Mobile's version on an At&t phone? Is it feasible to compete the process? I welcome any pointers.

Hello Everyone,
I'm new here. What brought me to this forum was the issue of not getting OTA updates due to using a model imported from another region. My device's CSC is SPR (sprint) but my local carrier works on it just fine. My problem is better elaborated here in this other post :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/question-about-flashing-firmware-from-a-different-region.4043665/
After reading the above thread I decided not to change my firmware to the model firmware for my region as its SoC is Exynos and my phone is Snapdragon. However, I still want to use Odin to upgrade the firmware to Android 11 as I'm still stuck on Android 9 (may 2019 update) and I can no longer bear it.
In the post in the above link, a reply recommended using the USA (USC) CSC, so here's my question,
Would updating with SPR (my current CSC) make my phone unable to work with my local carrier on update completion? or should I just update using USC?
PS: The SPR CSC came with no bloatware, I don't know what the USC CSC will come with.
Service provider info is attached below.
Thanks in advance.
