CRR-L09 and CRR-UL00 - any difference?

Hi, just got mine Mate S, Chinese market model(UL00).
*ttp://s013.radikal.ru/i322/1509/ef/204602070f19.png
Is there any difference in models and can I flash firmware for European version on to mine phone becouse I don't want to deal with all these 50 chinese apps
Thanks!
PS I'm switching from LG G3 and Meizu MX4 Pro, so just first impression after 4 hours of tests:
1) fingerprint works amaizing, much better than Meizu.
2) the phone body is very solid and looks nice
3) sounds quialilty is good but Meizu is better, which was expected.

You find something because i interest to

Ok I have a weird question. Mine is the CR-UL00 version. It has Google play as default and no Chinese bloat. Firmware is B110 what version do I have?

Dual SIM
In the Gsmarena specs page it says that dual SIM is optional. Does anybody know which one of the two models is dual SIM?

I think it means it's optional in the sense that you can either run dual sim or one sim and a micro sd card. One of the slots act as either. I know that's how it is with the UL00 version.

Maybe you're right, although I interpret from Huawei's web page that the L09 version might have a single SIM (the GSM network specs for the UL00 shows 2 cards and the L09 only one?).

Only the CRR-UL00/64GB version is dual sim (maby the 128GB version will be to when it comes). Optional referes to that you can either have sim + sdcard og sim + sim configuration, as one slot doubles as sdcard and sim slot.

Hi,
Could you please tell me wheter is possible or not to install an european verson of android on CRR-UL00?
Is it is, can you please explean me how i can do it?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I too have just taken delivery of a Chinese sourced CRR-UL00 and would like to know if and how it can be flashed to a European or International version in order to remove the Chinese oriented 'stuff'? I have removed a lot of the Chinese Apps manually, but would be a bonus to build as a non Chinese version.
Othewise early impressions are favourable of a very well built and good looking device... loving the rear mounted fingerprint reader.​

Any news? I have seen somting about twrp and a kernel released but i really don't know how to root this phone!

Hi all,
I am about to order the CRR-UL00 DUAL SIM. However I have some questions as this isn't an European version.
Will I get support from HUAWEI when it is broke? I am not sure about this. Asked it Huawei, but they didn't respond.
Secondly what OS languages are available? Would for instance English and Dutch be available on it or other keyboard layouts like AZERTY? Can somebody confirm this?
What about the Chinese apps? Can you delete them? Or if not, put them all into a folder to deny them?
Are there other things on this Asian model in which I can run into trouble after purchase?
Kind regards

If you by this means if you will get EU warranty from Huawei, then no you should not expect that. You would have to ship it back for repair or pay to get it done localy at your own expence.

About any language is avalible on the stock firmware, Dutch and English is included. Keyboard layouts too, or you can simply download a keyboard from Google Play.

You can delete most of them, and deactivate the few apps that cannot be uninstalled.

Google Service is important for China mobiles, as they are not pre-installed in China. On Huawei Mate S CRR-UL00 the will not be installed, but you can download them from the Huawei App Store "HiApp". They work without problems for me on my CRR-UL00.

Thanks a lot for your answers! Strange as I can purchase the P8 Premium Gold Edition through Vmart (Huawei) in Belgium. This is a dual sim version with the same version as the Mate S. This is sold with warranty but normally they don't advertise this model in Europe.
Anyway.. I think the Mate S dual Sim is the better choice over the P8 Dual Sim IMO. Any constrains?

Yes it is a bit strange tha Huawei seems to only sell their low spec models in EU - actually a surprise to me that you can get the 64GB P8 here. For the Honor 7 and Mate S I have only seen the 16GB and 32GB models from official stores.
I did not go for the P8. The P8 has no fingerprint reader, also the screen and general build quality is to me superior in the Mate S. The AMOLED screen is really beautiful.

I have mate s ul00
i cant find fun scales app and i cant use force touch

this CRR-UL00 version is nice but has it active dual sim ?

SM-9200 or SM-9208 for AT&T

Which do you recommend I get to use with AT&T SM-9200 or SM-9208? I am at a loss to find the difference in the two.

The SM-N9200 could have no Google apps if it wasn't purchased from Hong Kong, otherwise they're the same. Stick to the SM-N9208.

You're point about the gapps is correct, but the N9200 and N9208 are not the same. The N9200 is the only variant that uses a Qualcomm modem. All the other variants use a Samsung modem. Result: much less kernels compatible with N9200...

N9500 UK - anyone used this and is it any good?

Unfortunately in the UK, the only way to get the Deep Sea Blue variant would be to buy the N9500. I understand that this was built specifically for China markets, but it should have the right network frequencies for the UK. I was just wondering if anyone has bought one of these before, and whether there's any quirks in the device compared to the UK model? Cheers

Yes. Note 8 N-9500 is Hong Kong/China version. I have been using it for 3 weeks now, but I would not recommend it.
I have Hong Kong version. (China version doesn't support Google Play Store. Avoid it!)
Here are some negative things that I found out so far.
1. It works perfectly with UK network frequencies, however, you can't enable VoLTE or wifi cailling.
This is really downside. it keeps saying my current software does not support VoLTE.
2. It doesn't have Samsung Pass. Some apps require it to log in with your bio info (cf. finger print etc.), so it is bit annoying.
3. Android Pay works fine.
I have not use Samsung Pay yet, but Samsung Pay is registered as Hong Kong so you will get promotions from Hong Kong market only and you can't change it.
4. If you contact customer service through handset it automatically connect with Samsung Hong Kong Service centre. ha ha
I have tried to change it with other CSC roms such as Europe versions, but Note 8 N-9500 uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 not Exynos as Europe or Korean version.
At this point as far as I know it is impossible to use other CSC roms.

Have you managed to flash Europe firmware successfully?
I've also got N9500 deep sea blue, the only reason I bought this version was for the colour!
I quite like it but would like to have volte

SM N9500
No I haven't. As far as I know EU firmware doesn't work with this SM-N9500.
I ask some questions to Samsung customer service Hong Kong, but I haven't got the answer yet.
If I do, I will post it here. cheers!

I have the China variant of the N9500 in Deep sea blue
I I've had it for 3 months with no problems. I saw from one of the other posts that there had been some issues they had found with theirs. Just to comment on mine Samsung pay initially wouldn't let me load a card and work but now it works fine with no issues. Google play was installed and works without issue also. Unfortunately I have not been able to get VoLTE or WiFi calling to work as the firmware installed does not support the former and the latter, I'm still trying to get to work, but neither I or EE can come up with a reason why it doesn't. I've also not been able to install a European /UK firmware due to the Exynos/qualcom incompatability issue. mind you there are only a few reasons why you'd want to install the firmware as the phone works fine with the firmware installed bar the issues I've mentioned and f you can live without WiFi calling or VoLTE then there's no reason to use it. They are a great bit of kit as I they come with a much larger internal storage than is available over here. This was the reason I got mine in the first place as I store loads of books and music as well as videos and as an amateur photographer alongside my DSLR I still use this for photos as the shots are quite comparable in lots of cases. I hope this has helped, oh and one more thing, I i got mine new from a online phone store via ebay I ended up paying about £750-800 for it which was cheaper than the lower storage version that you can get in the UK so that's another plus

i wonder if the wifi calling would work on the proper csc for n9500's or if like my provider, regardless of what mods are done to the phone's software, if its not a device purchased from them, they black list imei. well i should say they white list theirs and simply block everything else.
people on rooted 9500:
have you manualy extracted csc from relevant provider firmware and copyed to system/omc?

/ appreciate that it must a deal breaker for some out. there .I guess its just never been such a huge issue for me really. Its the inactive wifi calling that's the pain in the rear for me. It's not that
its not working that annoys me the most, its more
that there is no actual reason why it shouldn't work. that's the most annoying thing. its just so usefull to have.

looking to buy note 8, what is best model to buy?

Hello, I'm looking to buy a new note 8. I live in Belgium.
But I'm not sure what is the best model to buy.
So my aim is to root the phone and install a kernel or/and ROM to improve the battery life of the phone and it's longevity (I had a galaxy s3 for more than 5 years, on which I did rooting, was pretty happy about the improved battery life and the fact that it's still working fine)
I also notice that you can get snapdragon or exynos depending on the model you buy? Is the difference between these 2 significant?
So there is different model i found on the market :
-n9500 which from what I understood is the Honk-Kong or Chinese model? Seems like I should avoid it because because it doesn't support kernel or ROM?
-n950F which is european version?
-n950FD international version?
-n950N Korean version it seems.
What is your opinion on the model I should buy?
Best regards,
vifzor

Yes, it does

Take a look through the oem unlock thread too.

acctualy the korean n950n would be considered a sure bet. specially if you consider the 256gb version.
there are no issues with the oem unlock. other exynos F/FD's might have that problem.

The only two main considerations IMO (since you already stated you are going to root, so Samsung Pay is out):
N950F/D has full dual-SIM functionality out of the box, so if you need dual SIM this would seem like a smart choice
N950N can be purchased in a 256gb internal capacity version which is great if you want large internal storage
Since you are going to run a custom ROM anyway, there is no functional difference between the two, save for dual-SIM on the F/D
As others mentioned, one potential issue with the N950F or F/D is that they need to be SIM-activated in their intended region before you can use them with a different country SIM card, and people have found that the OEM Unlock (to unlock the bootloader) option is either missing, doesn't show up for 7 days after first use, or disappears after flashing new firmware or ROMs. This is not an issue with the Korean N950N as Korean models are never region, SIM, or carrier locked and do not require the local SIM activation.

depends on the provider used, the N950N supports all 3 of T-Mobile's main bands 2, 4, and 12 and I'm regularly getting download speeds over 100 Mbps, uploads around 40 Mbps, which is faster than what my T-Mobile-branded Note 5 got in the same areas.

haha 'best' is arbitrary depending on what you want out of a Note 8. It's my preferred because I wanted Exynos, 256gb internal storage, and supported LTE bands for my carrier. For anyone who needs dual-sim functionality I would direct them to the N950F/D or I believe there is an N9500 dual-SIM model in Hong Kong. If someone just wants a Note 8 and won't need dual SIM, lots of internal space, and won't want to root it, the 'best' Note 8 is likely the one that their carrier offers.

I plan to buy N950N 256 go in South Korea because I'm scared about custom fee(only possible to buy phone from outside Europe) and I want to go to SK anyway.
But If I buy N950N in South Korea can I start using it there or should I wait to use it for the first time in Belgium? I guess it should be fine but I'm not sure.

The Amazon link you mentioned says it's not CDMA. So it seems to be an Exynos Korean version. If it was CDMA then it would be a Snapdragon Note 8 which would still work in Belgium if there is no region lock or SP lock.
EDIT, I searched google and came up with this thread about the SM-N950N all the information is on the first post. thank you

SM-N9600 sold on amazon.co.uk

Hi,
I received dual sim version of NOte9. It is unfortunately SM-N9600 verision, which I can see is LATM region. It came with uk charging brick though. ANy chances to chave the region changed (snapdragon) obviosly, preferably to European?

That is not possible as the N9600 is designed for the Asian market. That said it should work perfectly in the UK as it is a GSM device. However you won't be able to use Samsung Pay

It was sold on amazon.co.uk described as International version. And the phone was equipped with 3 pin UK charger, which I believe was a false advertising and re-boxed. I contacted the seller, but I will also file a claim on Amazon. Disappointing. I am getting Chinese notifications from time to time, that's why I wanted to flash English language based Rome, in terns of region. Not possible than?

That's seem strange, I ordered and received the N9600 version (particularly dual sim blue 8/512).
I live in Europe, where the official is exynos version.
My phone works flawlessly, no Chinese notifications, during initial setup I had all language choices.
Only some particular services provided by my local GSM services are not supported (like wifi calling or volte)

Well hong Kong and latin America so sort of international.
If your getting Chinese stuff on there even though you said yours is latin it must be running chinese firmware. Id suggest flashing latin america firmware to try and get rid of that annoyance.

Use fw.updato.com and get a Latam version of the firmware to flash in Odin. That'll get rid of Smart Manager and the other Chinese crap.

I had what I assume was a Chinese notification on my phone the other day, in one of the Samsung apps. My phone is an International N960F/DS supplied directly from Samsung UK and running 2 UK SIMs so it may not be firmware dependant...

He has a n9600 not 960f....that phone can comes from HK or latin america.
In his case yes it can be firmware.

It was a misconfiguration, I suspect, where the Galaxy app had announcement in Korean about some offers for the users in South Korea. That has now disappeared.

That's seem strange, I ordered and received the N9600 version (particularly dual sim blue 8/512).
I live in Europe, where the official is exynos version.
My phone works flawlessly, no Chinese notifications, during initial setup I had all language choices.
Only some particular services provided by my local GSM services are not supported (like wifi calling or volte)

hey there, just wondering, did you buy that version for root?
also, do you have any issues with speeds /carrier aggregation?

I bought this version for gpu performance.
LTE and overall data speed and band aggregations works flawlessly. No issues at all.
Exynos was not capable in gaming and everyday smoothness and speed in every day scenario
