I'm in Canada which doesn't have Samsung Pay yet anyway but they're talking about bringing it here this year. If I was to import the Exynos Note 7 N930F would it be compatible with Samsung Pay once it launched here? I'm assuming anyone who imported one in the US where they have Samsung Pay would also be able to answer this as to if Samsung Pay works in the N930F imported model.
Imported phones will work ONLY if the phone's country of origin already has rolled out Samsung Pay.
Also, obviously, this only works if your current country supports Samsung Pay as well.

Hello,
I'm looking at bringing the international version of the Note 7 over from the UK to the US when I move in a few weeks..
I saw somebody on another forum say that I may have issues with Samsung pay in the US using the international model. Wondered if anybody may know why this would be?
Thanks.
In the past, only carrier editions supported Samsung Pay in the US. I'm not sure this has been changed.
Hi,
I'm planning to buy a Galaxy Watch in Korea, to use in France, because I'll have the opportunity to buy it for much cheaper over there.
I've read in forums about older Samsung watches that Samsung Pay might be region-locked. Is it true for the Galaxy Watch too? Is there a way to hack it to change the region, and change a Korean watch to a European one?
I think it is eloisant. I have a chinese version bought from Todydeals online and samsung pay is missing. When I press in the back button nothing happens and in settings is says there is no payment softwear installed. Please could someone give me instructions for how to change it to UK version if this is the fix. Cheers
no samsung pay on US version
i have model SM-R820 and haven't been able to find the samsung pay app. I have tried a few things, like updating OS, resetting the phone, but no luck getting app on my Galaxy Active 2 watch. Any ideas?

Greetings;
I've pre-ordered an Aura Glow, 256 GB plus the Galaxy Buds as a free bonus! from Samsung.ca
The trade in program wouldn't work for me as OnePlus isn't included in the program.
Delivery August 23.

If I order an unlocked one from samsung.com, will it work here with Canadian carrier(Fido)? They are offering $600 US trade in for a Note 9, and samsung.ca is offering $380 CND? Really?

They're offering $0 on the s10 plus. Samsung US is also offering $600 for the Pixel 3 XL and its not o. The list. I entered my Pixel 3XL info as if it were a Pixel 3 and the offer was $130.
I tweeted Samsung Canada for some kind of answer and all I got was crickets! ???

Is it possible to order a US Note 10 from Canada? If they are unlocked, then they should be able to work here. AT $500 US after trade in its a MUCH better deal than here at $100 CND after (max)trade in.
got mine yesterday with the buds and damn this phone is nice.
I've got the unlocked Samsung.com version. Can I simply flash the Canadian firmware (want Samsung Pay) in Odin?
What deal did you get from Sam.com?
any cdn users with an F variant?
what's working and what's not working cdn carrier wise?
edit
anyways if anyone wants to try out a note 10 csc pack. please report any issues and save logs aswell.
make a backup first .

Canadian vs US variant
I can find pick up the US unlocked variant for the same price as the Canadian unlocked variant (including the exchange rate difference) and the US variant has some additional LTE bands that aren't currently used in Canada, but other than that is there any advantage of one variant over the other? Are firmware updates, Samsung Pay, etc. about the same on both phones?

You might miss out on some features like VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling. Depending on who you're wireless provider is. Other little things too. Like seeing 4G instead of LTE. It might be possible to flash the Canadian firmware but I don't know for sure. That still might not give you access to all the features I mentioned before.

I got my unlocked Note 10+ Aura from Best Buy when they had the trade-in deal, $400 if trading in a Note phone + $500 for my Note 9, so I got $900 in total with Best Buy's trade-in offer, I'm loving my Note 10+.
When we are the last in the world to get firmware updates and fixes, like right now, I miss international version and root so much.

I asked Samsung Canada via chat about possible October firmware that is supossed to give us security patch and native rcs supporting all providers on native SMS app (prefer it over Google app because I can pin important conversations), and fingerprint issue patch.
Was waiting to connect for a while.
They apologized for wait, apparently lots of people asking support. Told them what's up, they asked for imei, and asked me to wait,............ 20 min later... "did you try updating through settings?"
WTF!
Guess that explains long wait at the beginning.
Oh. Almost forgot. Samsung Canada mentions fingerprint patch only for s10, +, and e. The guy on chat also said. "Patch is coming to s10, 10+, 10e, 10 5g, note 10, 10+,...."... wait s10 5g? Dumbfounded. Talk about Canadian support
Turned off the chat.
Fingerprint update patch came out on the 24th of Oct. for me, Note 10 Plus model from Samsung experience store.
Got android 10 update on Canadian Galaxy Note 10+ SM-N975W today .
N975W and N975U1 are identical in hardware. The U1 firmware will work perfectly fine on the W and in Canada. Im currently running Android 10 star wars U1 firmware on W phone with Koodo. Everything works perfectly and APN was setup automatically. FYI for anyone who wants to flash using Odin. Just make sure your Note 10+ is unlocked first.
I'm with Fido, I see that the firmware has been on Sammobile from Monday but no updates as yet from Fido. Who are you with

awesome thanks
I can buy a Note 10+ or Note 11+ (sometimes called Note 20+) unlocked for cash. I want to get the version that will run on T-Mobile (Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 or 865 chipset). Can I root the phone if I buy it unlocked or is the fact that it is T-Mobile compatible with the Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset already blocked from rooting?
What new top-of the line androids that run on T-Mobile can be rooted?

Since note 8 you can run any note 8 or newer on any carrier. I believe every note has something like 7 radios? Rooting is a real mess now and won't work with Samsung Pay and other cool features in many cases.

Buying an "unlocked" phone means it is network/carrier unlocked and has nothing to do with the bootloader/root.
The US note 10+ whether carrier branded/locked (SM-N975U) or the network unlocked model from Samsung (SM-975U1) can not be rooted at this time.
Exynos or the Chinese variant (N9750) can be rooted, but I believe some compatibility issues (i.e. only being able to use 4G and not LTE, Samsung pay not being available, etc) may/will be a problem. Of the two I have seen while reading the forum the N9750 seems to be the better option (I have no way to confirm this myself, so ymmv) for use with T-Mobile.
The Note 20 has not been released yet. Far too early to ask about root for the model, but compatibility wise I am sure all the major carriers will have a carrier branded variant for sale (this includes T-Mobile). Unlocked model would most likely work for the most part, but factoring in what would work out of the box (or would require flashing the carrier branded firmware) is a coin flip or magic 8 ball question. Since the phone hasn't even hit the shelves for sale all I could do is give you theories and educated guesses, but if I had too offer a theory or educated guess I would say it would be like the Note 10+ U1 model.

Scott,
Is it not possible then to remove the T Mobile bloat from my Note 10+? I would like to load the stock samsung rom if possible but no matter how I try with Odin I can't get it to overwrite the T Mobile rom. After every reboot I am greeted with that annoying pink screen.
Thanks
Hello i changed my Samsung Active 2 region on Korea. The change was fine and I just got updated to Vomax and ECG. But I dont have Samsung Pay app in the watch or the possibility of installing Samsung Pay in Samsung Wearable.i tryed to install Plug In from Google Play But I can't install it because of SIM card (registered in the country where Samsung Pay isnt supported).

Hi, Samsung Pay is a feature available on the watch so there's no need to install it. And with Samsung's policy, Samsung Pay is only activated in certain countries such as the US, Canada, Australia, ... but there is no Korea even though Samsung is in Korea. I also moved CSC to Korea to receive tizen 4.0.0.8 for the LTE version and ECG worked, besides there is no Samsung Pay. So if you want to have SS Pay, you will need to change CSC to a country with SS Pay enabled
I have a Galaxy Watch 46mm made in Vietnam. I suspect that the CSC is preventing me from installing and using Samsung Pay on it. Anyone have the files need to flash it and set to Australia?

answer of my question from other topic may be close to you
Hi guys, after being some time without Galaxy Watch 46mm I purchased it again and my question is - is there a possibility to change the CSC region and to use Samsung Pay safely? I am asking this question because I know that previously that was OK, but after some updates it was not possible anymore. So is it possible now? and if yes is there any new and/or updated guidance? I will much appreciate your help. Thank you!
