Markt Place issues

I bought a HD7 from London locked with O2. I used htcimieunlock and unlocked it.
Then i flew back to India and right now with the vodafone network. I can make calls and send text.
But when ever i go to the market place it says "feature not avialable for this region"
While i was in london had 02 card inserted and had tried to access market place and i had got the same message.
Am i a getting this because of a unlocked phone? Or there is genuinely problem with the region.
What do you guys suggest to get this fixed? As of now i cant use my pdf docs or any other softwares.
Also has anyone been able to find a file explorer in market place?

I have an unlocked phone and it's working fine, sounds like there's genuinely a problem with the Marketplace in India.
And there is no File Explorer app.

Thank you for replying.
Are you from london cause i will be there again in 3 days.
In settings is your region/location as United states or united kingdom?
Cause when i was in London last week it said, that i should change my location to US

Hi,
I'm from Birmingham, England's Second City, in the Midlands.
My Region is set to United Kingdom for all options. It shouldn't have said that when you were in London, I know I'm not actually from London but the chances of it varying through the UK are slim to non. The marketplace should work fine in the UK. Maybe there is something wrong with the software on your device?

If your live account is set to india then it will do that to you, no matter where you are in the world.

I'm using the hotmail id since last 5yrs plus. Now for a phone I'll have to change my identity..
I'll be in London on the 9th and I guess I'll findout then.
Has anyone been able to change to a different live id without resetting the device?

i bought my hd7 from london as well.works well in malaysia

Okay i am in London today and on the 3 network.
AND MY MARKET PLACE IS NOT WORKING.
My id is @hotmail.com and is not .in (india)
Wht do u think is going wrong here? Why does it still say not supported in your country/region.
The guy in malaysia....whats ur id...hotmail.com or something else..

While in London i made another live ID.
after making the ID i entered that ID in zune and wallah! i got connected to the market place and culd shop provided my phone had the same ID.
Since i am not game to change my 10year old ID, what i tried was i went to the optons of the newly made id. In the region there i changed it to United kingdon instead of united states which was by default.
I alt/tab to zune and then tried again and now mynew id which a while back could log in cannot log in to market place now.
I went again and made the changes to united states and guess what...IT STILL DOSENT LOG IN
S T A N G E
So i conclude that once u leave the region as united states then i guess you are doomed.
Wanted someone to check on this one
1: If anyone can go in their hotmail options and check their region there? People in UK is your region as united states or UK.
Would apreciate someone trying and letting me know this info

There are many people affected by this problem.u can search it at zune forum.at the moment marketplace only supports 2 place.eu and usa.so for people like us we need to create uk or usa region id to access the marketplace but we can only download trial and free apps.because we do not have usa or uk credit cards.hopefully microsoft will introduce buying apps using points like xbox console can do.and i believe side apps loading will be available.it is just a matter of time.

Huawei P30pro Hivision shop connects just to Chinese shops such as taobao, no amazon!

Hi, I bought an Huawei P20 Pro in China.
Once back in Ireland I configured google store and languages, it’s set on Irish English now.
Everything works as expected but I have a problem with hivision shop function.
the app is fully in English but the only shops it connects to are Chinese, for example taobao or global search which forward the search on the global Chinese market.
I want to switch or to add Irish/uk shops, such as amazon for example, how can I do it?
looking at Huawei info it says that it should use sim language and gps to get the location for the shops, but my sim is Irish and I’m in Ireland and it still connects just to Chinese shop.
thank you

Use Hicare on pc/laptop and do a system recovery. Make sure you backup youe data first
What it does is to reinstall your software and, at the same time, reconfigure it. I hope it works for you

Samsung Pay in beta in DE - how to use with watch?

Hi,
as Samsung is beta testing Samsung pay in Germany, one can have it there *today*:
https://www.samsung.com/de/support/mobile-devices/samsung-pay-faq/
However, after installing and setting everything up, there is still no Samsung Pay on the GW3. I have to say that my watch is an XSK model (eastern europe) and not a DBT (Germany).
Does anybody use the Samsung Pay Beta with a DBT watch and can tell, if it works there? To have it working now, changing CSC to OXA would possibly be the best route?
Best regards

If you can read German, you can try to look here:
https://allaboutsamsung.de/2020/09/samsung-pay-startet-offiziell-in-deutschland/
IMHO Wearable part, like GW3 work with Plugin crap... "APK B"... + TPK C
Phone have "APK A"...
To get both working... Phone AND Watch...
You need compatible A + B + C...
Seems Samsung only released Phone App... APK A.
Feel free to look if you manage to run the Phone part... without crying.
Best Regards

Thanks, @adfree .
I called the german Samsung Pay Support and asked specifically, if changing the CSC of the watch to OXA would help and if he knew, what I was talking about. He said that he indeed knew what it meant and that it would not work because the pay app on the phone would not be compatible. He was very nice and also competent.
He also told me, that they aim to make it possible in 2021.
I have to say that I am astonished (not in a good way). Everything is in place and tried and tested, Samsung Pay with the watches is years old. Why?

Well, at least it's a step in the right direction for Germany. Holland is still waiting. I now use SPay on my watch with the CSC set to Spain (PHE) in combination with a UK Curve card, but I would rather use it with everything set to Dutch (PHN) . Hopefully Holland is next.

Thanks, @congusto . What would be the best CSC to use? OXA? Or rather UK? Not even sure, if they are having SPay.

Any CSC that supports SPay will do. BTU (UK) will do fine. I chose Spain (PHE) as region because I have that choice when I reset my watch. UK is not available in the list I can choose from. Spain also supports O2 Measurement. I don't know if BTU supports it. The only backdraw of PHE can be that all SPay awards and messages are in Spanish.
OXA is actually a group of CSC's if I am correct, so I am not sure that you can choose OXA at all.

Thanks, guys. So I went through it and changed the CSC from XSK (I bought a watch for the eastern european market because it was cheaper) to XAR - Samsung pay was there, but the guy on the Samsung Pay DE hotline was (unfortunately ) right. I could not add the virtual card I got from Samsung Pay DE, as I do not have the data (validity, CSC). So I deciced that it is not worth all the hassle (try some CC which might work or not, Curve or N26 or whatever) and changed the CSC again, this time to DBT, where I live. That way, whenever this gets available here, I will just be able to use it. As (claimed) advantages they offer split pay and instant credit as features - maybe I am old fashioned, but I do not need that, as I do not buy things when I do not have the money. I would rather have them light up payments with the watch
So they set it up differently in DE - you will get a virtual CC from 'Solarisbank' (whoever that might be) and they will take the money directly from the bank account the user combined with it. This way they seem to be able to get around the banks. This is all done in the Samsung Pay DE setup - it is a one time hassle but it is really doable.
So, whoever wants to try that as well, maybe save yourself the hours of two combination FW flashes, two Stock FW Flashes and two updates.

samsung pay in ireland solution

I live in Ireland where Samsung pay is not supported but in the UK it is, if i had phone + watch3 bought in the official Samsung UK stores and a UK bank which supports Samsung pay, would it work in Ireland to pay in stores?
Also, i bought my s20 and the watch3 on eglobal.eu, the phone has a region of Golf region (united arab emirates) the watch3 has no idea what region is not sure they have any but i guess, i dont know how to check, so if the above is working is it possible to change the region of my s20 to UK and use Revolut or N26 or maybe even an actual UK bank card (i could get one)?

Unless you also want to use SPay on your phone, in my experience the region of your phone is not relevant for using SPay on your watch. I am not sure if this goes for your watch, but on my GW, bought in Holland, I was able to choose a region. What happens if you give your watch a reset (make a backup first), can you choose a region?
If so, choose one that supports SPay. If not, then you'll have to change the CSC of your watch to e.g.. BTU (IJK) or PHE (Spain).
Revolut doesn't support SPay, neither does N26 as far as I know. But if you get a Curve Card (UK based, supports SPay, but needs 1 or more credit cards assigned to it enable paying with it), assign your credit card to it (when you do, use a 5 digit zip code), and then enter your Curve Card as card to use for SPay, it should work.

You have to set Samsung Pay up on the mobile, which limits you to Irish settings if you want everything else to work with Irish stuff. Also, there isn't an Irish locale option on the watches. There are some people who's gotten themselves a Curve UK account and used that. That's at least what I've heard.
I'll wait though, I got an N26 account a couple years ago for Google Pay, not going to get one more empty account for this.
It is a bit annoying that Samsung Ireland doesn't seem to be bothered with enabling any features for Irish customers. We don't get the advanced features on newer watches either.

S20 FE 5G G781U1 in UK

Currently in the UK and gave my USA G781U1 to my mum. Set the device up without local UK SIM card installed don’t recall seeing or selecting an option for region ( no suprise ). After device was setup I inserted the UK sim, all smooth but after installing Uber Eats app it prompted for a zip code instead of post code. Even though the app itself was depicting currency in UK pounds. Any idea why?
I initially thought it was because the region country language was USA but it wasn’t. Cheers.

don't know the reason but go with Just Eat... the other lot are a right bunch of...
