Does anyone have the ATT branded Swype APK or other method for installing on different Note4 variants?
Noticed Swype on the ATT variant is different and faster than the Swype we can buy / download on the Play Store. Tmob models don't come with Swype. Problem is: IMO Play Store version of Swype, while probably more up to date, is not optimized for the Note models. Plagued with slow response starting with Note3 and continues on Note4.
Thanks

T-Mobile is the only carrier in the US who is including the Download Booster in the S5's Stock Roms. So, here's two questions about the feature:
Assuming it is software specific and that ATT, Verizon, Sprint shut off the feature within the rom (ATT have said they may include it in a later update), then would it be able to be ported to other carriers' S5s?
And would the feature be able to be ported to other T-Mobile Galaxy devices such as the S4 and Note 3, or is limited by hardware?
Thanks
I was thinking about getting either the international or the TMobile version of the phone because it's cheaper and more importantly it has an unlocked bootloader.
Does any one have the international version on att is everything working? what is not working?
thanks
No idea how to differentiate international or non. I preordered mine on At&t 3 days ago.
I don't think anyone has the international version yet. AFAIK, B&H is the only place to buy the international version in the US and they haven't announced a ship date yet (still only accept pre-orders).
I got mine from AT&T about two weeks ago. But I've decided that moving forward I will probably buy international versions of phones as I'm sick of dealing with all the bloatware that takes up space and I can't remove.
FWIW I bought the international version (H850) a month ago for use on AT&T in the US. Definitely has advantages (FM radio, Android 7.0). Just a few issues:
* No VoLTE
* Limited access to LTE networks - spoke to a store employee, without an AT&T device you are not 'guaranteed' access to LTE. Doesn't mean you're barred, but since updating to Nougat haven't seen the LTE symbol, just 4G,
* Wifi calling - I enabled the VoWiFi in the hidden menu, but nothing. Since it's a carrier-supported feature, probably not.
* Some AT&T apps don't install from my previous LG G4. Visual Voicemail is the main one, but you can install an older .apk and it will work.
I brought an international version from Amazon (Duo Sim) and have been having GPS issues intermittently with a few of my driving apps? Have anyone have any experiences getting support/repair services with the international version? It seems like the international version gets less support over in north america since it is not a NA model. much appreciated for any help

The LG G5 has problems with the GPS antena. Many threads here about people sending their devices for repairs. It's a known G5 problem.

I believe there's 2 versions of this phone. Or at least that's what Amazon has made me believe. One has all the at&t lte bands, (1, 2, 3,4,7,12 etc) and one doesn't.
I'm using att prepaid which hasn't been all that bad if that makes a difference in what att enforces.
Background aside, has anyone used either of the versions on att or can confirm there's actually 2 versions of this phone (aside from the metro by tmob that seems too new to be on the market; configured for metro that is)?
Amazon is a confusing jungle when it comes to phones and actual service compatibility -_-.
I purchased a Tab S3 thinking it would be a WiFi model. Turns out it is a SM-T827 (US Cellular) version. I never plan on using a mobile plan with it. Are there any problems if I use ROMs for the 820 or 825 models?
It will not work, they use different roms as they have different internals and also has an imei being a celluar version.
That is too bad. I hate Samsung's UI and slow version of Android.
This isn't an answer to your question, but...
I'm curious how much bloatware they put on the US Cellular variant. I've seen where people flash Verizon firmware successfully onto the US Cellular version, but haven't discussed doing that in the other direction and am tempted to try it.
The Verizon version of Pie has a ton of junk on it.
Thanks
