I bought the GW3 watch yesterday. Unfortunately I live in Gibraltar which for some unknown reason is considered the backwater of the internet and we are blocked by both Google and Samsung - Google does not let us buy anything from Google Play, although we have found a way around that. Samsung goes a step further and we cannot even browse their store
My question is: I've seen videos on how to change the Active 2 region and I'm wondering if there is a procedure for GW3?
Until I change the region I will not be able to get any apps installed other than the ones preinstalled in the watch. BTW I also tried the SDB connect and I cannot connect to the watch even changing the port number...

I was able to connect to the watch and run the launch csc manager code but after the message lunch successful nothing pops up on the watch.
restart the watch and the PC
and try to connect.
But it looks like that the security increased in tizen 5 and the csc pop up doesn't work.

has anyone figure out the way to change the region from Canada to US?
Someone wise to help change CSC I want to move from Poland to the USA to have samsung pay. Please.
Samsung !!!
Give the watch another update where SAMSUNG PAY is pre-installed !

This popped up on my YouTube recommendations today. How to change regions on the GW3
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsshQ1-UIoY
Note, I haven't tried this to confirm it works. That will probably be a tomorrow project
Ironrobi it works excellent. I changed my region yesterday and everything works perfectly.

Can you describe me how to do it exactly, because everything is accelerated at the branch. And if I change to the USA, or XAR, will I have a choice of my language, i.e. Polish, in the watch?
XAR code is for USA and yes if you change it you can switch the language to polish you just have to download it.

But the menu will also be in Poland?
The menu of the watch copies the language from the phone. If you go to your phone's settings -> system -> languages and input -> languages -> add/change to Polish. That should change the language on your watch as well. That works for me if I changed the language to Slovenian. Than everything on the watch is in Slovenian.

I can also confirm it works. Changed region to XAR, got the software update and blood oxygen/stress are now loaded on the watch. Unfortunately still no BP/ECG and trying to sideload through the PC still fails and no luck trying to do the non-pc method with a Huawei phone.
Will this method of changing CSC to Tizen 5.5.0.1 work?
Please note that in order to actually use Samsung Pay, you'll need to have a credit card that supports it / is supported by it. This goes back to your credit card provider supporting Samsung Pay or not. If not, you'll get stuck when Samsung Pay checks the support after entering your credit card number in Samsung Pay.
Also wondering this: Will it also work when the watch is already on BTG6? Anybody tried?

Check out the curve card. It is the card from the UK and you link your MasterCard or Visa to it.
It works with Samsung pay.
If you use the link below you will get £5 on your card.

I managed to get the BP/ECG to work from the instructions for active 2 from TechnoProz.
Just install the first and the second file, and the Samsung Health monitor will appear on your watch. Calibrate the BP and your good to go...

researching something else, came across this - samsung just released "samsung Dive" in Germany & UK - an app that lets you wipe or lock your phone remotely if lost or stolen
http://www.slipperybrick.com/2010/07/samsung-dive-remotely-locks-wipes-your-wave-galaxy-s-for-free/
I just signed up for it and tried it. Annoying that they're not enabling the tracking service depending on the country, wavesecure does that and more... If there a way to work around it by a proxy or such?
how do you sign up on the galaxy s? i cant seem to find what its asking for, and there is nothing in the user guide about the galaxy s

you need to sign up via the application within the phones app
where is that exactly? i cant seem to find it, thanks in advance!
From homescreen, go into settings -> location & security -> set mobile tracker
Have fun
You need a Samsung account first. In settings go to the area where it allows you to add various accounts like facebook/gmail and add a samsung account... then go to http://www.samsungdive.com/index.do
then enable mobile tracking ...
login with the account you made etc
full instructions are on that website ...
Thats the problem, in the account settings there is no samsung option, just google, facebook, myspace,twitter and corporate. and the instructions on the website are for the S8500 Wave, not the Galaxy S. enabling mobile tracker in security doesnt work, as again, there is no option to create an account, so even if it is set up, you cant access it from the website.
Since its not available in the US yet.
SIM Checker
Remote Wipe
Where's My Droid
3 apps will do.
annoyingly, i'm in the uk so it is available where i am, just i cant access it
Anyone managed to sign into the website yet. I can't find any option to create an account on my phone

i figured it out.
in contrast to the website, in order to create your samsung account, you have to enable mobile tracker first. then after setting it up do you get the option to make your samsung account, which is the opposite of the information on the website, saying that you need to make the account first and then enable mobile tracker. hope this helps anyone who was stuck
Brilliant, thanks
I'm trying to sign up for an account now, and it's coming back with an error message, saying "invalid birthday" .... which is odd - I'm fairly sure my birthday is NOT invalid - I am fairly sure I have in fact been born!

Had the same error. Just ignored it and signed up without entering a birthday. When I logged in, my birthday was correctly registered :/

When we know Samsung's skills to implement working and bug free software, do you dare to install that piece of software that can wipe off your phone I'm not sure, if I dare.
The service don't seem to work though. Tried sending a remote lock command, and it said it was successful, but I can still use the phone without providing the lock code.
Might be dependant on TwLauncher though. I use LauncherPro
it says it's only for UK and Germany

Is anyone having any luck signing up with the Web Tracker?
I've got a Galaxy S on Froyo, and it won't let me sign up. I fill in all the fields fine, but then get this error: "Unable to sign up. Processing failed IDM_1105"
Any ideas?
All signed up and seems to be working. Sent a location request and waiting for reply now. The register being hidden under the on screen keyboard did have me stumped for a while. Also date of birth is YYYY DD MM so not easy to get right without an example.
I'd like to be able to use Samsung Dive's remote tracking/lock/wipe functionality.
I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab that I got in Dubai running 2.3.3 firmware and XSG region and using it in New Zealand (with a Vodafone New Zealand sim). When I try to use the remote tracking/lock features, I get a message saying "The function is not supported for your area.". Which area are they talking about, New Zealand, Dubai or perhaps just it doesn't work with Galaxy Tabs.
My wife has a Galaxy S2 that we just bought last week in New Zealand (but I have a feeling was parallel imported from Germany as on startup everything was german). When I set up remote tracking on mobile, I'm able to use the samsung dive website no problems.
I've tried deleting and recreating my account, and also linking my tab to my wife's Sumsung account. No progress, still get the same error message.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this working?

Try setting your locale to UK or US, seems there are functions available only for these regions...
Go for Avast security
Forget about Samsung Dive!!!
Go for Avast security.It has a lot of features like Remote lock,Wipe,.....etc.
If ur Tab is rooted,it even can survive Hard/Factory reset.
Best part is IT IS FREE.
I am in the UK and Samsung DIVE works perfectly for my Tab 10.1 but not for my Galaxy S. When I try to use Dive for the Galaxy S I am also getting the message "The function is not supported for your area." My locale is set to UK.
If anyone has any solutions other than "forget about Samsung dive!!! Go for Avast security" please post.
Thanks in advance.
ive just set this up and all works ok but now i have a big problem what i did was basically set it up so it can text you when sim has been changed and also to do some remote dat wiping amongst other function however i now want to turn these features off but ive messed up and you know what ive done right ?......yep ive forgottent the password ive tried everything but i just cant remember it !!!
can anyone help ? security>find my mobile>sim change alert> FORGOT PASSWORD!!!

Check if you can set up and use Samsung pay on your S10. If not, it seems that the phone status is not official, Knox is tripped, or it is/was rooted. What about Google pay on the mobile? Does this work?

Talk to the Mecri seller about the issue. The simplest way unlock FPR is using original Google account password. Or you can download an APK to bypass FPR. Google search returns many tools to bypass.
I can't stand reading content when obviously someone needs real answers not being advised to take it to a repair shop. XdA is about people coming together to help share code and troubleshoot devices. Some of you guys are so green. You must not have made the cut to work for google.

some people don't like giving out info that would be useful to people who steal phones.
I was successful on att version I was on Android 10 but I had to upgrade to 11 bootloader 2 to work..I used a moto g7 plus as my device to transfer google account with smart switch and it only worked with wireless transfer not OTG.. The software i used is the same in all the videos that boots you to chrome or YouTube after you disable antivirus and signature verification in windows 7/8/10/11....I found one updated video that had the most important information because i spent two weeks stuck on failure to launch chrome script and searching and I hate that Indian techno dub step music...lol... USE WINRAR ONLY TO UNPACK THE PROGRAMS WINDOWS UNPACK 7ZIP OR TERMINAL UNPACK FAILS.... then once you chrome YouTube scroll to version then feedback then find rom in search bar select Samsung store update then select smartswitch to restore backup google account and lock screen pattern... Profit..and no I didn't steal mine mine was an unclaimed repair bad info and 60 days later I'm the official owner registered on samsung.com and brought it back to att as byop....until I purchased carrier unlock from carrierunlocker.net for $25...

I just purchased this samsung phone after ages (been using xiaomi and other phones) but unfortunately it does not offer call recording in my country. Can anyone please share if they were able to change the CSC code to one with working call recording (indian csc maybe I have seen some indian youtubers mentioning how to enable call recording) .....also please guide me how exactly do you change the csc code on this phone any tutorial would be very helpful thanks.
Quick Update: I was able to enable call recording by changing my CSC through sam fw tool there is a catch tho, as soon as I change my csc to anything non-native the galaxy store starts spamming "get recommended apps from your provider" ads after every few minutes and there is no way to block notifications from galaxy store (the option to disable notifications is greyed out) so I had to revert back.
How about completely disabling the galaxy store then?
Do some people actually use that bloatware for real? That was like the first thing I debloated
Here you can read how I enabled native call recording feature on my Samsung device
Should work on most modern day Samsung devices out there
Enjoy

Galaxy Store is required because samsung apps (camera,themes,keyboard,cloud backup etc) are not available in play store they update via galaxy store disabling galaxy store would make sense only on a custom rom which unfortunately isnt available for my device A33 and I am not rooted either. I came back to samsung after many years on ios, miui and other UI and I am baffled by how polished One UI has become I can never go back to MIUI (it was a torture with all its bugs that never get fixed) or any other User interface.....I can literally customize anything from icons,font, system wide theming to even the statusbar icons (using good lock app) back in the days we had to use xposed modules to modify statusbar icons. Lack of native call recording is my only gripe with ONE UI at the moment.
Hi my default region is dubai. For call recording option i changed my fw to indian fw. Actually i got the call recording option. Similarly im having good battery life better than before. Only catch was samsung pay replace for Samsung pay mini. I think its better to switch full fw than only cse
So is it possible to change csc in a33 using samfw? to enable call recording?
Yes,
Have you not read the other posts?
I was due a replacement phone - so I decided on the A33 5G (sim free, untouched by any network provider)
.
Bought it direct from the Samsung Store online, paid £319.99 - £10 cheaper than most other stores online, i didnt want a contract, didnt want finance, just went hassle free and paid for it outright and it was direct from manufacturer.
I would usually require the most powerfull device available with the most freedom. and least restrictions, lets say a feature packed, flagship for a power user.
Well... my needs have changed and wow, for a mid entry device - the A33 is awesome.
BUT NO Native call recording in the UK.
-----------------------------------------------
I am 100% capable and confident with reprogramming the device if needed, I was a phone technician back in the day, the Beginning of Android changed the game for me and killed any future progression in my career.
Anyhow, can anyone advise - what other features are restriction by laws, location etc etc.
Is there any tools that can scan the firmware, or list all CSCs with their geolocated features etc.
kind regards,
Dan
