If its only for EU how is it working in Pakistan?
I'm rooted running 4.3 and want to upgrade to 4.4.2 but now I'm afraid after upgrading it might get locked?

Hi,
What you are seeing is what Samsung calls Region Lock.
The main purpose is to avoid Grey Import.
In order for the phone to work correctly, it needs to be run with a SIM Card from one of the "authorized" countries first. After something like 5 minutes with an authorized Card, the Region Lock is deactivated.
Now chances are that your phone actually is a Grey Import but that the dealer did the Region Unlock. Was your box sealed when you bought it?

If the seal was not broken when you received the phone, most probably your phone is rooted.

@LuMe96 @darkshaft seal was not broken and phone wasnt rooted too I rooted it my self later when I bought it.
I'm not worried if he unlocked it but what im worried about is I want to update to 4.4.2 with odin so will the phone again be locked after I update? If so how to unlock it back?

There are no SIMlocks in the EU. There is an EU law against it.
This is the by now infamous Region Lock. All modern Samsung phones have it (It was added to several models like the S3 and Note 2 in an update as well.)

only thing you can really do is installing a custom rom. either samshng based or sthing like cm. these dont have a region lock and are rooted by default.

Did you changed anything on your phone, or original Stock?
I don't know why, but normally should it work in original condition.
What you missing is the PAGE-BUDDY!
On a Note 2 you have a option, where you can choose what happens when you plug in earphones, or when you pull out the s-pen.
This option is hidden by Samsung I don't know why, maybe just stupid
You can try this.
Download this :

-Open App,
-Type BUDDY in search field and hit enter
Next:
Hidden PAGE-BUDDY settings are now visible
Check the setting.
Did you have the same settings?

App Back Up without rooting phone (using Carbon AKA Helium)

I would like to move my subway surfers progression from my S4 to my new Note 4. Another forum advised using Carbon (now changed their name to Helium) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.backup&hl=en_GB which I have used but now it says to restore data I must pay the premium (wish that was obvious before I wasted my time) but hey ho, I was going to buy the licence key but there were bad reviews saying it didn't work or messed up the users phone. My question is has anyone used it before or could recommend another app I can use to back up my app data without rooting my phone. £3 is a lot to waste on an app that doesn't work or can cause problems to my phone
You have a 15 minute refund period for all applications you bought on Google Play.
Try it and get a refund if it doesn't work.
I didn't have to pay anything to restore my apps using Helium. Just make sure the data is on the internal storage of the phone.
I used the free Helium to save my Apps and Data from Note 3 and restored successfully on Note 4

Could you explain this in more detail? I tried to restore from my old RAZR to my Note 4, but I couldn't figure it out. I saved to the internal storage, but I couldn't find the files.

Hmm the article is about bricked Phones after installing recovery or rom but i changed the rom very often and no brick or touch screen issue appears. The only issue in every rom is the rotation.

How to get the S7 Edge international Unlocked version?

Hello,
I know that the phone will be releasing on the 11th, and all the pre-order options available are through carriers. I will be ordering online since I live in DR, where do you think I could buy the Unlocked international version of the cellphone?
Thank you.
Ebay. There are several available. It is the Exynos version. SM-935F
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk
Compare Ebay and Amazon to European stores such as Unlocked Mobiles and Clove UK, see which comes out cheaper.
Depends where you are just go to an independant shop that sells all networks and that phone will be the int unlocked version or country version with no bloat ware unless you click on yes on first boot up and install it by mistake , but that can be deleted anyway

Hi
I'm quite interested in the carrier customisation stuff.
What do you mean by click yes on first boot up? What does it say you are clicking yes to? Any screenshots? Have you clicked yes?
Further info much appreciated!
Thanks!
When you boot up a unlocked version you get a pop up in your notifications , for me that's a Vodafone notification which asks you to click on the notification to install their software , it is a pain but if you do nothing the request is gone on the next boot up , this happens in European phones I don't know if it happens on every country my phone is a phn model

Yes the T-Mobile S7 / S7 edge can only be unlocked by the built in device unlock app now
We unlocked quite a few today
Did you order an unlock or was it unlocked by T-Mobile as you purchased it outright?

Is not the same kernel? I tought it was all the same edge or flat. Since the only difference is the screen size and battery size... And in the UK they have the exynos version aswell.
Interesting

Waiting for the Beta to work; growing impatient.
I think we'll need to stay on UK (BTU unbranded) fw like S6 last year...

6 weeks. The Galaxy S6 started its 6.0 beta at the end of December 2015, Samsung formally began the stable rollout in mid February this year. How quickly your local arm will roll out the update remains to be seen, but I assume at least one or two will be reasonably quick to have it out before the end of 2016.
