Hi guys,
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge SM-G925F sim free
Build number LMY47X.G925FXXU2COH2
Baseband version G925FXXU2COH2
5.1.1 Lollipop
Previously my Oneplus One on Three network (UK) I would have full Lte signal but on my S6 Edge I only got 2 bars. Changing to WCDMA/GSM I get great signal and in speed test is actually faster than LTE.
I'm not rooted and I'm wondering if this is a software problem or hardware, and if flashing a different rom would help?
I don't mind tripping only if it will fix the problem.
Thank in advance.
I got s6 edge+ last week. Bad reception. Changed the phone, in the AT&T store. The second phone is even worse.
Initially the store employee told me that there are no new phones in Stock in their store. But he said he found one.
Since the second phone is even worse, is it be possible that, the store gave me a defective phone returned by a prior customer?
He opened the box in front of me. But I am not sure, it's brand new.
But anyway my replaced s6 edge + is even worse.
Folks, any suggestions?
I'll wait for the next update (marshmallow) and see if iit makes any difference.

Hi i have a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge Sm-G925R6 that im trying to return back to stock firmware.
The phone is from a cell phone service provider called CellCom out in Wisconsin. Cellcom uses Verizons towers to get LTE out in rural areas of Wisconsin
I purchased the phone and thought it would be an easy fix returning back to stock. The previous owner did not know what he was doing as he loaded the rom and forgot to make a back up of his Stock Firmware
The full model number of the phone is Sm-G925RZWALRA on the back sticker of phone with imei
on the box sleeve model number: SMG925RZWAL
which from my understanding the last 3 letters "LRA" stands for LTE in Rural Areas
The Fcc ID:A3LSSMG925V
Baseband Version G925R6WWU2AOF2
I am currently running CleanROM 1.5-Edge OE2 for the Verizon S6 edge with no issues besides having to sign back into my wifi
and all other Verizon Roms work fine on the phone as well.
Im currently using T-Mobile in Chicago on the phone with no issues and full LTE speeds working
But i would like to use The android pay app as sometimes i am forgetful and tend to forget my wallet. And with custom roms the android version can not be verified
I have tried using the stock firmwares for verizon both 5.1 and 5.0.2 to try to return the phone to stock but it fails in odin.
I have also tried using US Cellulars Stock firmware since theyre model number the galaxy s6 Edge is SM-G925R4 pretty similar to mine as mine is Sm-G925R6 but that has also failed in Odin.
I do like the debloated Rom but would rather have Android pay just in case of emergencies .
Thanks in advance for any help.
Omg glad that I'm not the only one with the cellcom version, I have been looking everywhere for what to do since I didn't want to install the wrong firmware and brick my s6 edge I have the same model number but I updated mine the day I got it which didn't change the android version. Finally, 5 minutes ago found a stock rom it's for a appellation wireless, same mode number "smg925r6wwu2aof2" as me. LINK

Where did u find ur rom? Can i just use any rom for s6 edge? I want to ask before I take my chances and mess up my phone, since I see you are more brave than me, I rely on having a phone.

Hello.
Is there a way to update my G5 H820 to Nougat from outside USA ?
I got AT&T working sim, I tried with it - not working...
Thanks !
I have same issue too. I have a zain sim in right now, next month i'll be in at&t land
I asked this question on the ATT forum and they said you can only get the ota while having an active sim inside the US.
My g5 is on cricket which shares AT&T towers and I still didn't get it. Bought a $10 sim, activated it. Still nothing, then put $10 of service on it and it poped up right away. $20 for 7.0, it better be worth it.

I live in Israel, there is no AT&T here at all.
Don't worry guys 7.0 isn't very good.
If I could choose now, I would probably go back to 6.0.1 because it was just better. It performed faster, had a better UI as far as LG's skin is concerned, it was less restrictive, and used far less battery - especially when using Bluetooth. My battery drained 5% while writing this.
This is basically KitKat vs Lollipop (or XP vs Vista) again. Now being honest, which of those two would you rather have?

I would go back too, 7.0 hangs once in a while and isn't as smooth. I'm going to try a factory reset because its pretty bad sometimes
On my G5 update are linked to the phone carrier not the sim I have.
I have a Telus unlocked phone it did the update with my fido sim inserted and I got the telus branded nougat software (fido have their own)
I really enjoy using Galaxy S9 Plus G965F
but, every day I have about 2-3 SMS saying I have missed a call. Despite the fact I never turned of my phone and never went underground or other places where the network is unreachable.
My friends keep telling me that my phone is out of network, but I have all the bars or almost all bars all the time.
Can anyone help me to identify what can be the problem?
I am in Japan NTT Docomo, and my Galaxy s9 support many more Bands than my old Galaxy s6 phone - that never had this problem. Can this be something with modem? Can i reinstall modem without getting root or disabling knox?
Thank you

Make sure you're on the latest update. Here in Europe we've had call related issues but the latest update fixed that at least for my S9+
Hi all, I just bought a new Samsung S9 plus 256gb US version unlocked from Samsung's website and I have TMobiles unlimited one plan. The Sim card I got was in my old ZTE Blade V8 Pro unlocked (you can probably guess why I bought a new phone). After putting the SIM card in the new phone for about a few hours it was a night and day difference where places I tested my LTE speed was 30mbs verses 6-8 on the old phone and the internet loaded quicker.
However, later in the day I started getting no connection or slow speeds and sometimes got edge+ connections in places where even my crappy V8 Pro would get connections. I called TMobile and gave them my phone's emei number and the Sim number that I used. At first it worked better but I still get less bars of reception and there are times when it takes a while for a LTE connection when there is no wifi. I even get LTE+ and it will still load some things like twitch streaming slow.
Someone suggested flashing TMobile firmware to the phone to try help connecting to their network like their branded phone's, but I have no idea what file to download for TMobile firmware for Odin to flash. Also, would it help to get updates from TMobile faster? People who have a TMobile sold S9+ are getting the new delayed update but my unlocked phone isn't. Thanks for your time.
I can say with a great deal of confidence that flipping firmware will not resolve this problem. It sounds like a hardware issue to me.
Hello,
My Elderly grandad has just moved rural in the UK and needs to use wifi calling as there is no mobile signal, he has an old Samsung S6 which he uses which my brother bought off ebay.
The issues is the S6 is an AT&T version and for whatever reason the wifi calling setting will not turn on, on contacting Samsung they say this is likely due to the fact its an AT&T version of the phone and there is compatability issue. His carrier 3 ( the phone is unlocked) allows wifi calling so it's definitely a phone issue.
I wondered if I could flash a different firmware or such as it's a software issue and get it working?
Any help would be awesome, otherwise the phone is now useless.
Thanks!
Jonathan
