So on apkmirror (not sure if I can post direct links there or not) you can search for Samsung 3D Scanner and install it. Then go to the Google Play Store and install QuickShortcutMaker. After installing both apps open QuickShortcutMaker and you will see 3D Scanner, expand it and select the first option, click on it and then click Try. It works on the S10 5G!
I get an error about range scanner not found.

Yeah I get the same on mine. I have a S10 5G Vodafone UK branded G977B
Yes the SM-977n
I have the G977U. There is a newer version of the apk on apkmirror...maybe try that one.
Same thing, which is weird, can you send me some screenshot?
Same problem with 3D scanner not found. Have an ATT 977U. Tried both APKs with the same result.
Here are screenshots of it running on my Verizon S10 5G.
That is awesome!!!!
It don't work for me. In Spain we still in June patch, I hope that when we will have new ota it work

Doesnt work for me as well, any solutions?
So, there's just some models firmware that's missing something. My brother has a G977N SKT CSC: doesn't work. I have the same but KOO, factory bloatware free and works perfectly!
FYI just updated to ASH1 with August security update and the 3D scanner now works fine with the latest apk
On ATT? Can you point me where to download feom?
Damn, not working for me either.
FYI, here's the link: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...ung-3d-scanner-1-0-20-1-android-apk-download/

Nope, Tried em. None of them works yet.
But if you look at apkmirror the SDK target is android 9... maybe meanwhile is a beta it won't work. Hope that be working at final release.
Doesn't work.
Doesn't work on my Note 9 running Android 9 stable version. All the modules read as unplugged. Tapping on any one of them it says "We're preparing an update. Try again when you see the update available mark".
a few work like edgelighting a nicecatch but none of the good ones...yet
One-hand works as well. Wish they get Recents and Navstar working as well.

I'm wondering how this will work too. I really liked how the recent apps windows worked previously. The way they cascaded over each other showed more info than the one UI's method. Hopefully it doesn't change too much.
Good lock for Pie is here!!! Check your Galaxy store.
Can someone upload them.
I have downloaded the Good Lock and its add ons via Galaxy store using VPN method. But unfortunately, routines was not included in it. Does yours have?
No Routines yet. Probably not ready.
HI All,
Can anyone confirm they are able to select 2K or HDR on Netflix? I'm in the UK if location has anything to do with it (Not that is should!)
I have top tier subscription, can Watch HDR / 4K content on my TV no issues. However when using Netflix on my phone I only see HD shown when selecting something.
From my understanding the Note 8 was one of the first mobiles to support HDR / 2K?
Cheers
Paul

Not sure, I was on XEU prior to the 'PIE' firmwares and think it was working then.
Does your TV use wifi or a 'hard' connection? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that internet speed and quality are a factor. Which also isn't a factor for me since I have a 'superfast' fibre connection (384mbs).
You could also try installing the newer firmware, without changing your CSC.
I hate to be "that guy" but if by 2k you are referring to 1440p, then it actually should be 2.5k. Yes, everyone else is wrong too.
Bonus fact: 2k is actually closer to 1080p (1920 rounded to 2k)
I received my Galaxy watch three yesterday here in Canada. I know officially the new features such as ECG are not available here. I'm doubtful they will be anytime soon. How can I somehow get these features outside of the US on my device? I'm pretty sure it's possible but I'm not sure where to start and look for proper watch three instructions that won't mess up my device. Thank you.

There's some discussion on the subject here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/samsung-galaxy-watch-3/features-available-t4144413
I still can't figure out the proper procedure for the Watch 3. ?
I was using online chat to Samsung support yesterday in the UK and he told me that the ECG and blood pressure monitor would be working when I receive the watch next Friday.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a copy of the message transcript although I guess I could ask for it.
Does anyone know if this is true?

I installed the BP and ECG option using the "without a PC" option. Worked like a charm. Many thanks!
One question: will there be app updates available for the patched versions?
WIthout PC option worked perfectly on US BTE model.
Without PC method validated for France model, thanks ! Works great.
In addition, is there any method to get SPO2 ? Like through a VPN or something ? Thks

I followed the video and the new SHM app appeared on my watch for a second but when I clicked it, it just closed and then disappeared.
Now, whenever I try to install the "Retailmode" app, I get the message on my phone that the APK was installed, I see the samsung accessory service transferring it to my phone but the the wear app pops up a toast saying "failed to install the app".
I checked under my wear app's list of installed app and it's not there (should it appear there)? Any idea what's going on? This is a US model GW3.

Hi all,
apologies if this has been asked to death. I have found some conflicting info around the web.
I have a few questions regarding the Tencent version of the Rog 3 (8/128 GB strix). As you know most of the ones available on ebay are Tencent versions with global rom installed. Here are my questions:
1) Do they receive ota updates? Do you need to change fingerprint to get ota?
2) Do apps like netflix, google pay and banking apps work? I saw a post from a US person who said their banking apps worked on the Chinese rom version.
There are few international versions available on ebay but the price difference is huge! I don't mind having to flash roms etc if it is possible to get either ota working or I can download updates from Asus site and manually update and also if it gets banking apps/google pay working. Has anyone had experience with these issues?
I live in the UK btw.
Update 30/09/2020:
So, I have finally got my hands on the phone (12/128 Tencent version with WW) and here are a few thoughts:
1) OTA does not work but I have managed to download and install latest update (78 I think). Fairly easy process and so is not an issue.
2) Google pay, bank app and Netflix work fine.
3) I had to manually enter APN for Virgin Mobile to get internet access.
4) 4G speeds seem much slower. Maybe due to fewer bands supported by the Chinese version. Will test it out in more locations and networks later. If I continue getting poor 4G speeds I might return the phone.
5) Black crush is a problem. Dark scenes in videos are not great to watch. I hope they can fix this.
6) Camera is OK at best. Coming from Pixel 4XL I can notice a big difference. Gcam works ok. Slightly improves image quality.
Will update again after I've used it for a few days.
Cheers.
I bought a Tencent 12gb and 128gb storage version and you cannot get ota updates, however if you manual download them and place the file in the storage root, it finds it and installs without any issues. The fingerprint works fine, as well as google pay and all my banking apps (natwest, nationwide and paypal).
What I understand however is it depends on how they set the device up before sell - mine was converted properly i guess as it hasn't given me any issues with updating and downloading banking apps, the 144hz works as well as finger print. It takes WW firmwares without any problems.
I bought mine from a UK seller on ebay who was selling converted versions.

i have the rog phone 3 strix edition with 128 gb rom and 12 gb ram with sd865. I live in saudi and the phone i got was flashed to global rom, yes no ota updates but manual update is easy to do and i have no problem. My carrier has no problems but its a 5g capable phone but i have a 4g plan xd. Netflix works fine as well as everything else, when you flash you basically have the international phone version, no bloatware or chinese apps anymore and playsTore is fantasic as on a samsung note 20. There is one problem for me, that is when i put my brightness low the screen refresh rate becomes 60 fps, nothing that i do can fix this i am on latest version 2007.58 ive heard other people have same problem-any solutions?
Latest version is 70 not 58 and it fix the problem. Wait for it to be uploaded to Asus website.

Anybody knows why
I enjoy my new Pixel 4a 5G, but 5G does not work at all in The Netherlands for the 4a 5G and the Pixel 5.
Google has apparently decided to not enable 5G yet in these phones, very frustrating!
Does anyone know how it maybe be possible to enable it in the phone, so I can enjoy 5G on the T-Mobile network?
T-Mobile says that 5G is fully working, just like with other providers in NL.
Thanks in advance.

Read this: https://9to5google.com/2020/11/09/p...set-to-gain-dual-sim-dual-standby-5g-support/.
It shows 5G is not yet enabled by Google but will come soon with a software update as the code to enable 5G is allready changed in AOSP.
Read that
It's the solution, this worked for me!
By lemon200
Good news everyone! I managed to enable 5G connectivity for my Pixel 5 in Finland. Thanks again to @cstark27 for hinting me to the right direction.
1. First you need to get your phone to show up in QPST. This is done similarly to Pixel 4 XL and you can find the the steps to do so here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83499679&postcount=75
2. Once you have installed QPST open EFS tool. If you have followed the steps in the previous step and have the right drivers installed your phone shows up here. Now you need to navigate to the carrier policy file. More details here: https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/
3. PLEASE remember to backup the original file! Pixel 5's file is different from the OnePlus example linked above. I simply added 5G to every rat_capability field, saved the file and then replaced the original file with the modified one. As usual, you have all the responsibility of your device and its modifications.
Now that 5G is working, all that's left is to find a way to enable VoLTE. Replacing MBN files has worked in other devices so perhaps it could be the solution here as well.

This is frustrating...

Did you do a speedtest after the update? My downloadspeed is way higher (double speed) then before for me. Its just that i still have the 4G icon showing but i think i have 5G speeds
-EDIT- Still on band 3 1800+, so still LTE+
Link to clarifying post about 5G and Dual Sim https://www.xda-developers.com/goog...uture-update-for-the-pixel-5-and-pixel-4a-5g/. Guess we`ll have to wait for the next update.

Thanks for the info.
No, I did no speedtest, I think it's still the same, I'll test it later.
I'm not using the same phone every day, I switch from time to time. ;-)
And I still wait for a clear answer from Google, I'll post it here later...
Then we wait for the January update I suppose...
On the positive side, the phone is really good, and it takes one of the best photos!
The UI and apps are fluently without lag, much better than Android 11 on the Pixel 3a XL.
Only app that feels not fast is YouTube, especially when turning the phone from portrait to landscape.
Then I notice lag.
Are there any tips to make this work better?
try youtube vanced!

You could try lowering animation speed in developer options to 0,5 or turn it off completely.

Good news everyone! I managed to enable 5G connectivity for my Pixel 5 in Finland. Thanks again to @cstark27 for hinting me to the right direction.
1. First you need to get your phone to show up in QPST. This is done similarly to Pixel 4 XL and you can find the the steps to do so here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83499679&postcount=752. Once you have installed QPST open EFS tool. If you have followed the steps in the previous step and have the right drivers installed your phone shows up here. Now you need to navigate to the carrier policy file. More details here: https://mt-tech.fi/en/modify-oneplus-7-pro-5g-8-and-8-pro-nr-lte-a-band-combos/3. PLEASE remember to backup the original file! Pixel 5's file is different from the OnePlus example linked above. I simply added 5G to every rat_capability field, saved the file and then replaced the original file with the modified one. As usual, you have all the responsibility of your device and its modifications.
Now that 5G is working, all that's left is to find a way to enable VoLTE. Replacing MBN files has worked in other devices so perhaps it could be the solution here as well.

Thanks ! It works perfectly for Free Mobile in France too !
Edit : To make it completely work on the n28 too, I had to enable DSS by editing the lte_feature_restrictions.xml file too. Otherwise it would only show "5G" but never actually connect to the n28 antenna. You can check that by using NSG or dialing *#*#4636#*#* : you should see "NR State : CONNECTED" instead of "NOT_RESTRICTED". This guide helped me a lot : https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-fix-enable-5g-and-dss.4206461/

Hello Guys,
Meanwhile I sold my Pixel 4a 5G.
I didn't like it that much in the end, so I'll keep my 3a XL as my Google phone.
And Google will maybe provide an update somewhere in 2021, but no guarantees.
I had a OnePlus 8 Pro for a few days and I tested 5G with it on T-Mobile here in The Netherlands.
I'm very disappointed how "fast" 5G is at the moment! (only Sub-6 available)
It's mostly slower than 4G and less stable.
And the battery is running out much faster with 5G enabled.
Long story shot, 5G will be no issue for the coming few years.
5G will only be good if mmWave 5G is working in a large area.
Up till then, 4G is good enough!
Happy Holidays and wish you all the best for 2021!
Is there any chance to force activation Wi-Fi Calling? I am living in Poland and using T-Mobile, which is not supported by Google (also Google Store is not available in Poland).
I would like to buy pixel 4a 5G, however VoWiFi is necessary for me due to coverage issues.
