Hi I need the "smartswitch migration" apk (not the "Smartswitch mobile" NFC transfer version app) as I am transferring from my Crapple Iphone to my new s4.
Its not available in the NZ store only the US google store.
Can someone please download it and provide a link.
Its a free app so not piracy.
Thanks.
I'm contemplating purchasing a new phone. I found a refurbished S4 for $75 and want to buy it, but I need at least 4.4.4 so I can play Pokemon GO. Does anyone know if it can get to 4.4.4 or higher? Also, if so, does it require rooting?
I also read that it's up to the cell phone carriers to allow a higher firmware, so if it's a case of the carrier, does Net10 allow you to get to 4.4.4 or higher?
Which variant of the S4 is it? if it's the international, samsung has 5.1.1 released so you won't have to root it.
you can always root it if the carrier hasn't updated it. which I doubt

It's not your carrier that matters, it's the carrier which the phone was purchased from that matters.
I actually purchased the S5, T-Mobile is the original carrier, and they have Marshmallow available, however, for whatever reason, I can't get it downloaded. I'm using Net10 as the wireless provider, but when I search for updates via wifi or 4G, it says there are none available (I'm currently on 4.4.2). Any clue what to do? On the phone with T-Mobile now but god knows if they're competent enough to help me.

These are the S4 forums, mate.
You started the thread mentioning something about an S4, which now turned into an S5 somehow.
And you can always download the firmware and flash it manually. Or update with Kies.

Enter download mode and read off the model number of the S5. If it says anything other than SM-G900T, then that is why you are having issues with the download. Keep in mind that there are Straight Talk and Net10 versions of the S5 available. Both are on 4.4.2 and no upgrades are available other than by installing a custom ROM.
Sorry, I didn't know this was strictly S4. I'm a bit unobservant. But for those who may randomly be brought to this page via Google. I did the update via Samsung Switch for the PC. Google it, should be the first link. Apologies to all for the mixup.

Just received my Galaxy S8 Dual Sim - came from Singapore. It comes with Samsung Pay but the Singapore version that doesn't support US based credit/debit cards. Any advice on how to change to US version of Samsung Pay? Is this even possible? I tried to uninstall Samsung Pay and then reinstall from Google Play Store (now using my US login and I'm on AT&T network) but it reinstalls SG variant of Samsung Pay program.
I have a Samsung Gear S3 watch and Samsung Pay installed and works fine on the watch but I gather the watch Pay program is different from the one on the phone.
Android Pay works fine so not critical for us though I like getting the points from Samsung when I use Samsung Pay.
Thanks!
If you don't mind me asking which seller did you get the FD version from? Seems mine is stuck at customs as of now sadly. I'll be looking into this as well when u receive mine

I ordered it off Amazon. The seller was NGPSTORE - have bought from them in past. Professional operation and have never had any issues with their phones.
I'm going to message you to try different things.

From what I've been told by Samsung is that Samsung pay is only available on the US model phones, T-Mobile, AT&T, Verizon etc.

It also comes as part of Singapore phones but is limited to adding cards based in Singapore. They've expanded Samsung pay to several countries now but it seems each has it's own local app versus a common app everyone.

Eh.
Phones sold in Qatar (and the MENA region) come with Samsung Pay UAE which is NOT a system app: ie: you can uninstall it completely.
If your phone has the same model of the MENA variant (see my signature for S8+, change to 950FD for S8), then install the UAE firmware with odin, delete the included SP UAE app, and install the US SP app.

Did this work for you Model Number is the same Build Number is NRD90M G950FXXU1AQDG. I deleted the SG app and tried to reinstall the US app V2.7.03 but it just hangs upon opening it.

Try this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-pay/samsung-pay-2-7-15-release/
When I install 2.7.03 (the most recent US apk), it just hangs at the first screen and won't move beyond the "start" button. I gave the app all permissions but it still hangs.
2.9.6 (latest version) requires a Korean SIM (no joy there). I've been reading the S7 forum and didn't find anything that worked but it's a long threat (100+ pages) - and I may have missed something important. You can't uninstall pay framework or even roll back updates (you can a device admin error) so stuck with that version. I tried installing 2.8.3 and 2.7.15 also - no joy. 2.8.3 also requires a Korean SIM and 2.7.15 starts up, tells you there is now update to download and then fails on the download

I'm on the UAE firmware, and confirmed 2.7.03 works after deleting the placeholder included in the rom.
Flash the UAE firmware (for your version) and do it.
Any idea where I can find the UAE firmware for the 950FD? I have looked and can't find it. Thanks for the suggestion - will try once i can find the FW files.
I bought the international variant as well and Samsung Pay worked out of the box for me. Strange. Dual SIM variant too.
Where did you get it from? Do you know if it originated in Singapore? I was told units that come from locations with out Samsung pay come "naked" but if it comes from a country with Samsung pay (like Singapore), it only wants to work with the Singapore version. If you are able, can you go into settings, apps, and report the version number for both Samsung pay and the Samsung pay framework? That way I can compare to mine. Thanks

Bought it off eBay. Country of origin appears to be from Vietnam but CSC is Singapore. Samsung Pay was partially pre-installed (advertisement essentially) and required full download from Galaxy Apps. Version is 2.7.15. Framework is 2.7.47
Framework 2.7.47 and App 2.7.15 is the latest for Singapore phones but the app opened fine but when i tried to add my AMEX Card (issued in the USA), I got a failure message (and the website for Samsung Pay Singapore says only AMEX cards based in SG can be added).
I happen to also have a Singapore-based AMEX card and that worked fine but that is not the card I regularly use - my regular card is the AMEX based in the US and Samsung Pay wouldn't accept that card. Curious if your did. Thanks - appreciate your sending along the details

I have an AMEX coming soon, I'll reply back on how that goes but 3 us credit companies and a us bank worked fine
The UAE firmware doesn't seem to be added to SamMobile or any other website yet :/
Thanks for letting me know. I'm still looking for the UAE firmware too. I only tried to add an AMEX card as my ATM card (a visa card) only allows one instance and I had it setup for android pay.
I got access to another phone (also from Singapore) and was able to add my BofA debit visa card without problem though it rejected one of my credit cards (like AMEX said it was not issued by a supported bank/issuer) so it would appear that some cards will work and some won't.
Having updated Samsung pay framework on my daily driver to version 2.71.51 in an attempt to get US Samsung Pay (v2.7.03) working it won't allow me uninstall the update (says the program is locked by a device administrator) to roll the framework back to 2.7.47 (which the SG phone uses) so i can reinstall Samsung pay (Singapore) from the app store (v 2.7.15). The 2.7.15 installs and opens but then keeps trying to install an update that keeps failing. If anybody has any ideas on how to rollback pay framework so I can get the Singapore version working again, I'm all ears. That said, Android Pay works fine as does Samsung pay on my gear s3 so not a dealbreaker/critical if I don't have Samsung pay on the phone working.
Is this possible? Wondering whether I can flash the international CSC of the 7...?
I will back that. Anything other than korean please will be great

i thought about doing the same thing, but the Note 7 uses an omc folder vs. csc on the Note FE. i wanted to play it safe so i cherry picked features from the AT&T csc used on the AT7T S8. i combined the cscfeature.xml and the cscfeature_network.xml in to one file named others.xml, which is what the Note FE uses. i backed up the stock others.xml and the customer.xml and copied my version of the others.xml and the customer.xml from AT&T csc to system/csc. i also extracted the SmartCallProvider folder from an S8 ROM and copied to the system/app folder. as always, you'll need to set the proper permissions on the copied folders and underlying files. i wouldn't recommend using my approach....don't know what issues might arise and i have a second device incase the FE has issues. just wanted to share my observations.
after making the above changes,
pressing 1 on the Samsung Dialer dialed my voicemail; since i use google voice, adding my number with the stock dialer didn't work
i can now access the call forwarding features and enter my google voice number
i know have the ability to identify unknown numbers - Caller ID and spam protection (although i don't know if it works)
and most importantly (for me), the "Places" tab is now available on the Samsung Dialer so i can search for places when i travel
the only thing that's not working is Voicemail notification for my primary number.
Is it doable without root

@iraqgsm, if you are asking if you can make changes similar to what i did (in post #3) without root, the answer is no you can't. root is required because you are making changes to files in the system partition.

Ah, that's too bad. I was about to ask if you got Samsung Pay working.
You can't use the CSC from Note 7 because they changed the way it works with the S8 TouchWiz which the FE has, although you can easily port the S8 or Note 8 CSC to the Note FE and should be able to use it no problems.
Any step by step guide and what available CSC options available
I know it's a long shot but being in Canada, hopefully someone can port S8 Canadian CSC codes or international.

Seems a bit half baked, the FE.

With stock firmware gear VR doesn't work, I hope that some cook will find a simple way to figure out our Note FE as S8 changing CSC or other things..

anyway share the file or step by step for the caller id or spamprotection
What about VoLTE and WiFi calling. Do those features work after installing the att settings?
