hi all can some one tell me where to buy a samsung note 8.0 3g version in the northwest uk cant find one anywhere in northwest uk
I think if you order from Amazon UK, you will get a 3G model from Germany.
I bought one in Germany and it works fine.
hi thanks for the reply ? do you get samsung uk warrenty with it ????
No but I don't live in europe anyway.
I would hope Samsung would honor any problems but not expecting any.
I want to buy a Note 4 Unlocked. But as is normal it appears these days its Rip Off Britain so wanted to avoid the UK one from UK stores and would like to get the 64bit chip version. Anyway there are so many note 4 models I don't know which will be compatible with UK networks. Would the N910C be OK here and if so are there any other I could look at?
Thanks n advance

Someone must know?

No limitation. The only thing is when you setup device initially - the default language will be in the language of the device origin. I have a german DBT Note 4 myself - imported to Ireland. So on initial setup I'm greeted in German - so have to change to english.
Other than that you should have no problems. Likewise you will receive updates based on the territory you bought your device, so if the UK get lollipop OTA update - don't expect your own to get it at same time - you will get that when the update rolls out for the territory your device was originally bought in...
Unless you flash a clean new official rom and change your CSC. But familiarise yourself with the Note 4 before worrying about doing anything like that.
you'd only face the real limitations if you had a US SIM, as the European note 4 models come with a temporary region lock to discourage import.
since the UK is part of Europe, there shouldn't be a problem.

What or who would stop me from buying a dual sim version abroad and plugging two sim cards in it?
Du kanns jede S7 version in De benutzen!
Soweit ich weiss hat jedes Galaxy S7 ein slot für die Sim Karte und noch ein Slot für eine MicroSD Karte oder eine weitere Sim.
Das heißt wenn du dein s7 als Dualsim Handy benutzt musst du auf die MicroSD Karte verzichten, Genauso wie beim Galaxy A8
Aber das ist das erste mal dass es ein gutes Dualsim Hnady in DE gibt
You can use all s7 variants in germany as a dualsim phone.
as far as i know all s7 variants in germany do have a sim slot together with another slot for the microsdcard or the second sim.
so that means if you use your s7 as a dualsim phone you will not be able to use a microsdcard like on tha Galaxy A8
press thx
I think you are right. The necessary hardware is there, but for Germany it won't work. So far nobody knows exactly how it's restricted, through CPU or from the software side. For USA it looks that dual Sim is possible.

I think you will find the sim trays are different and only the SE Asian and Chinese versions will have the hardware for dual sim or single sim and SD ie the SD and 2nd sim tray part is slightly different on these models as too is the hardware and the software to control 2 sims
Model numbers SM 9350 and SM 9300 for China and HK
Model numbers SM 935FD and SM 930FD for SE Asia
Hi. I have a similar question. I want to buy an S7 edge. I work in a cruise ship and I can get a great deal in Singapore, which will be the 935FD model, with a pay-as-you-go Singapore SIM. When I get home to the UK, will I be able to use the second SIM slot with my (Vodafone) UK SIM?

It is said there is a regiolock in different regional versions of the S7 but I never heard of somebody really facing this problem.
The news I found is only about a regiolock of European devices.
http://www.androidheadlines.com/2016/03/galaxy-s7-galaxy-s7-edge-region-locked-in-europe.html
The regiolock will be deactivated if the device is used in the region it was sold with a simcard from this region - one should make a call of at least 5 minutes to get rid of the lock.
I bought myself a 935FD on Ebay from a seller in Hong Kong (using a warehouse in the UK) No regiolock at all.

works fine.
I can't post links because of my post count but if you put the imgurl url followed by /rMIgUcm it should work.
it says unknown but I'm guessing that's because I've never used the sim before? I literally just opened it, it was a £1 pay as u go sim i got from town a while back. It says only 1 sim can use 4g also hence it being 2g.

Hi Maroc. Do you by any chance have the address of the Hong Kong dealer? I'm going there as well, and prices are cheaper than in Singapore. Thanks.

I've been researching this a bit more and I realise I don't really understand the differences. In the UK, my network is Three Mobile (owned by Hutchinson Telecoms) and it operates on 2100MHz (for 3G) and 800MHz and 1800MHz for 4G/LTE. With all the different variants of the S7 edge, is frequency the only difference? If so, do I only need to worry about the operating frequencies of the handset? I understand there might be a regiolock problem as well, but as long as I use the phone for 5 minutes in the country of origin (with a SIM bought in that country) then this won't be a problem? Specifically, could I source a 935FD in Hong Kong and use it there And in the UK? Or do they ONLY sell the Hong Kong variant there? I've looked at http://www.4g.co.uk/4g-frequencies-uk-need-know/ which gives a lot of tech info, but I'm still none the wiser regarding specifics of the S7.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm in HKG, local version is G9350 (SD820, Dual SIM, unique model....).
I bought a G9350FD from a import shop coz I wanted to 8890CPU instead of SD820.
Seems the phone I got is from Africa somwhere (ECT CSC). I've flashed to UK's BTU CSC now and seems ok.

Hi. I'm about to buy a 935FD from Taiwan. Will I also need to flash a BTU CSC in order to use this in the UK? If so, are there any shortcuts or all-in-one toolkits that I can use to do this for me? I was fine flashing ROMs on my old rooted HTC, but I've never used Odin before to flash a Samsung.

From my experience, download the latest BTU firmware. Flash the BL, CP,AP and CSC should be fine.
Use latest odin. Should be 3.11
No need use Home_CSC.

So, I have a question. My wife and I both bought the G950F version in Norway, and we would like to know if it would be possible to use these phones in Peru.
My wife flew down last week, and she tells me the phone is not accepting the local SIM cards.
Appreciate any input, as I am going down there myself shortly..
Current SP is SAOMC_SM_950F_OXM_NEE_0080
It is not going to work because you need to make call on s8 Europe version so it will work internationally. Basically, it is sim lock only for Europe if you got Europe sim just make call for only 5 mins and then you can use anywhere you want

I have a 950F from Europe and am using it in Canada after making the 5 min call. If I flash either updated firmware form Samsung or a custom rom, will I have to make the call again?

No, you won't. Once it's been unlocked, it stays unlocked. Proof: bought my S8 from Amazon Germany. Had to make the call. Been using it in Argentina since android 7, with numerous firmware updates
