I'm living in Europe (in Germany), and I have a chance to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Korea.
I'm wondering if I will have any issues to use it here with a German SIM
I read that Galaxy Note 3 has a regional locking thing, which can be easily disabled. Will there be any other issues?
How does locking works in general? Is it a hardware or a software thing? Will I be able to get any mobile working anywhere by hacking the software (e.g. rooting or modding it)?
Does anybody tried the new galaxy gear on the Note 10.1?
How cool will that be, I am now using a Samsung Bluetooth Stick its good but the usage is too limited, i cannot see who is calling or i need to take out the note when making a call. But with the Gear not only that you can dial using it, you can even receive messages. Planning to buy gear but its only supported on Note 3. Anyone tried to install the gear manager on the Note 10.1
The Gear currently only works on the Note 3 or the Note 10.1 (2014) not with the 2012 version.
Hi! I'm temped to buy a Galaxy Gear 2 since my Galaxy Note 3 was updated to KITKAT and the Galaxy guy told us that the new Gear will be compatible with KITKAT, I was checking out the Galaxy S5 and the new S-Health seems to has a full compatibility with the New Galaxy Gear, but ours still says that only the Galaxy Gear 1 is compatible with the app, therefore we can't use the Hearth Monitor, I tried to install the ported version of S-Health of the Galaxy S5 but every time I reboot the phone the app erased everything making it like a new app.
Anyway to get the new Galaxy Gear 2 work with the Galaxy Note 3 with all the functions that has the Galaxy S5?

Depending on where you live, the modem may work well, or just be bad. For me in Australia, most Chinese models work well, but certain bands are missing so reception isn't as good.
(Speaking from using Xiaomi & Huawei; Never tested Samsung Chinese models anywhere out of China)
Also, Most signs of Google will be gone. Google doesn't work in China and subsequently, most (if not, all) Chinese Models of Phones are missing Gapps (Google Apps)
Others are minor (like boot logos) which i don't think most people will mind.
Hope this helped!
thats why I need someone with this phone to help me

Hi , i have the chinese model as well ( SM-G9350 ) , i can not confirm that there is only chinese and englsh , i have full language support for all countrys.
About Google Play Store, i flashed the phone with Hong Kong firmware from "sammobile.com" and now i have the complete HK firmware including all Google Services
No google play, it's more expensive, and it's loaded with crap chinese software that you can't remove. Sorry for the late reply.
