i recently visited local market website
somebody was selling samsung galaxy tab
stating its rooted (voice+SMS+Data enabled)
i called in to see if it was true
she said she does have voice+SMS+Data enabled
just insert my sim card from my current phone
I wonder how it worked and asked
but she told me she don't remember as she did it looking in internet
But specifically asked if it was euro rom
she said yes
is this true?
all problem of limited capablity of US version goes away
by just flashing it to Euro rom?
what about data transfer rate?
any other restriction on euro rom on US ???
thanks
The Euro ROM is all you need to insert your personal (active) SIM and use thebdevice for both voice and data.
If you're with at&t, be sure that it's an at&t Tab that you're buying.

I am looking into buying HTC one when it comes out here in the US. But, i was wondering if Google Wallet is part of the HTC one and if the HTC one supports it.. Can anyone who tried the phone share any info?
Is Google Wallet installed or you have to install it from Google Play?
Did you try to buy something with it?
any info will be great...
thx
I buy via google wallet all the time.

So do many people but that does not answer any of my questions !!!
It would work depending on if Google has released it to work in your region.

Seriously now, did you try it or are you just guessing? and for now, please focus on US region..
It has NFC, it will most definitely have all the hardware to support Google Wallet. The problem is whether or not your carrier/region is willing to play ball, and/or whether or not XDA can hack Google Wallet into working with the ROM of choice.

Whether or not your carrier is willing to play ball. AT&T has never supported Google Wallet.

I have a Dev Edition. Google wallet is "not compatible with your device". I have not tried side-loading the APK yet. I may return the device due to many small nagging issues like this.

64gb dev version here. I tried wallet with modaco's toolbox to disable checks and it still doesnt work. However, wallet is not a big deal to me, at all. Cool to show off, nothing more, in my opinion.
just noticed the app is no longer available on the play store. i checked last to week to test, but uninstalled as the phone was listed as incompatible. anyone else not able to find the app? i assume google is not accepting the info on the build.prop as a compatible model?
It is a big deal to me... sort of. I will probably get a GoogleWallet swipe-card when they are available though, as most stores don't have NFC readers anyway here.
I hope the HTC One is eventually added to the list (does anyone know if it has the "secure element"):
http://support.google.com/wallet/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1347934
Code:
Eligible devices for use with Google Wallet
Google Wallet with tap and pay requires an NFC enabled Android device with a Secure Element chip running the most recent Android operating system. Google Wallet is available on the following devices on select carrier networks:
Phones
Samsung Nexus S 4G on Sprint
Samsung Galaxy Nexus on Sprint
Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM/HSPA+
Samsung Galaxy Victory 4G LTE on Sprint and Virgin Mobile
Samsung Galaxy SIII on Sprint, MetroPCS, and US Cellular
Samsung Galaxy Axiom on US Cellular
LG Viper™ 4G LTE on Sprint
LG Optimus Elite™ on Sprint and Virgin Mobile
LG Nexus 4 GSM/HSPA+ (available for purchase on Google Play)
HTC EVO 4G LTE on Sprint
Tablets
Asus Nexus 7 (available for purchase on Google Play)
Samsung Nexus 10 (available for purchase on Google Play)
International Devices
At this time, Google Wallet does not support devices purchased internationally. The eligible device list above only applies to devices purchased from the listed carriers next to them. For example, an unlocked Samsung Galaxy SIII purchased internationally will not work with Google Wallet.

Did you get "Insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)" as your error? I tried with the tool box and that's what I got on T-Mobile version.

I used this mod to get Wallet on my AT&T Galaxy S3 and I loved it. Hopefully someone can release an installer for the M7 too!
FYI, i was able to activate wallet today with no mods to the build.prop or etc. as i'm rooted, it does show the message "unsupported device" on the top, however it appears to be functional and synced to my wallet account. i'll try to test it soon to find out if it fully functional.

Kind of bizarre it isn't working on the Sprint version. Always thought Sprint was all in with Wallet, and it works on the One's predecessor.
Not a good sign, hopefully it's just a matter of something not being set up properly in the rush to get the phone released...

Would you mind sharing the apk with us? I've got root but each version I've downloaded just exits after warning that the device is not compatible.
Running TrickDroid on T-Mobile UK if it makes any difference.
I believe the answer to this is "no", but:
I have access to an AT&T SM-G900A that is not being used. My daughter is about to move to Germany for an extended period.
First, can the phone be used in Europe at all?
I certainly wouldn't want to pay AT&T's probably-exorbitant rates, so then: can we buy a SIM card there to use in it as is? (pretty sure the answer is "no")
If I unlocked the phone (by buying an unlock code), could it then be used with a Europe-purchased SIM card?
I suspect this is all more trouble than it's worth and I'm better of just finding a used unlocked GSM phone of some sort.
Much thanks.
if you can use it abroad unless you unlock it first.
I have a galaxy s5 att and I am using it with another carrier here in south america.
only bad thing is that the wifi hotspot will not work for being a simcard from another operator, only work by usb tether.
It's working well. I bought an AT&T Galaxy S5 from USA and now I use it in Romania.
The WiFi hotspot is not working, but all the other features work very well.
Probably, after the bootloader will be cracked and we will have the opportunity to install a custom rom or an unbranded rom, the hotspot will function as well.
Enjoy your gadget !
All answers are correct. I was formerly in the U.S.Army and took an old T-Mobile HTC Dream over to Kuwait with me. I called T-MO and got a sim unlock code for free. Upon getting overseas I established service with a GSM carrier over there and popped in my sim card and whallaa! My phone completely worked in Europe and the middle east.

So Samsung released stupid colors in the USA. I want to get a black Samsung Galaxy Note 9 SM-N9600 Dual SIM to use on At&t since it is unlocked and a Snapdragon.
Will Samsung pay work in the USA on this model?
If not, is it possible to flash US unlocked firmware to get the Samsung pay feature?
I am not looking to root or unlock the bootloader, just want a full feature version in a non stupid/black color.
Same situation, waiting for anyone to help??
Did you figure it out?
I can help here... First off you are better off getting the dual SIM model N960F/DS. That model more closely resembles the US model (I have the Note 8 N950F/DS) and it works fine in the US. It has Samsung Pay BUT you need to find a version where Samsung Pay exists in the country it was designed for and where your credit cards work on Samsung pay IN THAT COUNTRY. For example I have a UAE model where they have Samsung Pay. It works fine for my Citi card, but not my amex card that worked on my ATT model.
The model above is available in black. Find it on eBay. They are generally cheaper than the US versions.
I have had no issues whatsoever using this version in the US .
I'm waiting for my n960f/DS to arrive. In blue!!
Using n9600 here on vzw. Working fine. No volte yet, but I will flash pr fw, and have working volte.
Samsung pay will work on the international dual Sim model.
rooting will make it not work.

Root it, flash tekhd zip. You will have volte, WiFi calling. I have a rooted n9600 working with volte, WiFi calling, and visual voicemail on Verizon wireless. Some odm changes are needed.

SM-N9600 Chinese Version?
I live in Toronto, Canada and I recently bought a Note 9 off someone in a private sale. It's the SM-N9600 model. I noticed that it has a lot of Chinese writing on the software during initial setup, and was different than the setup I'm used to (it didn't take me through Google account setup and also had a bunch of weird Chinese app stuff for something called Baidu, etc). In fact, it didn't even have the Play Store! I had to side load the Play Store APK then download all my apps and set my phone up that way. The Samsung Members app is still all in Chinese. Is this normal? And is there a way that I can reset the device or flash a Firmware (even if it's a factory reset where I lose my data and have to set up again) to have normal operation (i.e. Google being part of the initial setup from the beginning without having to side-load anything and to get rid of all the Chinese apps)? Any help would be extremely appreciated!

Are you sure it is a legit Note 9? You shouldn't have any of these problems, also SM-N9600 is the international version so is not chinese at all

I wondered about that but literally everything else works and functions exactly as it should. The s pen works perfectly and with the apps that it should work with, I've downloaded the Galaxy theme store and use the Pixelized theme, I've logged in to my Samsung account, etc. Even bixby works like normal! Though I'm not sure I'm so happy about that one lol. Any suggestions that you could provide? ATM it's functioning fine and I've gone through a few workarounds to get it working like I need it to, but this is extremely frustrating. Also, when I go to settings, general management, contact us, it's Chinese options. Also in connections, data usage, more settings, service provider settings, "region"has only Chinese sities and
"Service provider" has China mobile and a few others (though I'm using it fine with Bell)

Would taking it into a Samsung store help? Do you think they'd flash a legit Firmware on there, and if so would they charge to do so?
First of all if you don't have the receipt they won't take your phone.
Second: do you have the phone box? I have an hard time believing it's an original Note 9, I don't know how much a clone can be similar but: samsung themes should have been already installed, translations are full in all the settings, doesn't matter which firmware it has.
Also the lack of play store and the fact that you weren't ask to register your device at first boot is really really really strange. In the best case you have a weird firmware, which already is sign of a potential scam and anything could be loaded on that phone. Ih the worst scenario that is not a Note 9. Unfortunately, i would go with the latter considering what you wrote.

It's weird though. When I went through initial setup a date logged in to my Samsung account, I did get a legit email from Samsung about account registration on the new device. It's really confusing. I'm sure this is a real Note 9, just a weird (or international) Firmware

Would the Hong Kong firmware be restricted in terms of not having certain apps on setup (e.g. Play Store, etc)?
I have a new Galaxy S10 from Verizon but I use a Verizon prepaid SIM and they don't support VVM on prepaid. Is there an app that works? I was told Google Voice but it forces you to use a new number. Do you have to pay to use Google Voice and their new number?
New to Android but can't go back to Apple. Done with their locked down iOS.
The only way to make that work with a MVNO provider on my S7 Edge Verizon was to flash the unlocked firmware on it.
Now I bought my S10 is unlocked and VMM is working (Total Wireless).
Also, using Google Voice is free. First number is free too, only if you want later to change it costs money.

Not flashing nothing on my new S10 but thanks.
Then you can either sell it and get the unlocked version... or live without VVM.

Unlocked doesn't allow VVM unless you use Google voice. Had the S9 unlocked version.
Why sell it? Android phones on Verizon prepaid don't come with VVM it how Verizon tries to get you into a contract.
If you have an iPhone it's baked in and Verizon has no control over that.
