Question How to get Beta on American phone with foreign SIM? - Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra

Hello,
I would like to try the One UI 4 Beta 2 on my American S21 Ultra, however I currently reside in a foreign country and am using a local SIM. Therefore, Samsung Members only shows me local content instead of the American version with the header for the beta.
Is there a way I can make the phone think I'm in America so I can try the beta without having to delve into sideloading shenanigans?

Note 5 for Germany?

Hello Guys, let anybody know where i can buy the Note 5 for use in Germany? And which Version? SM-N920..?
Thanks
There won't be Galaxy Note 5 for Germany and rest of Europe.
We already know that so, well most of us.
its unfortunate tho..
Maybe the OP wants to know if there are different versions (e.g. with different LTE bands) or region locks and if he has to look for a special version if he wants to import it?
I want to import the note 5. And i search seller where i can buy. But i dont know which Version.
I Know sm-n920a (AT&T) Has the same lte Bands. Verizon not. And also the language Support... AT ebay i found the note 5 in seoul korea
I don-t understand you.
Samsung is saying you-re less of a person than any other person in the world . They are not interested in your money and it has no worth to them and youre running off to give it to them anyway ?
German logic must be like German humour.
No one gets it .

There is a lock region on the device, you cannot import/export Samsung Phones.
YOu can use the N920i Version (Singapur). It hasn't the region lock and it works with all sim cards.
The South Korean electronics giant hasn't confirmed the release date of the upcoming Note device but it is almost certain that it will be unveiled at the "Unpacked 2015" event to be held at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, New York City, on 13 August.In a shock move, Samsung has announced that the Galaxy Note 5 won't be coming to the UK this year, blaming the lack of release on "marketing reasons."
You need n920A for full compatibility

Buy While in Korea?

Greetings,
I think I posted this in the wrong forum last time. Anyway, I'm a long time iOS user who's looking to switch to Android while I'm stationed in Japan (US Navy) for the next two years. That said, I'm presently visiting Korea and have an opportunity to purchase a Note 5 (unlocked) and bring it back to Japan with me. Unfortuantely, I can't seem to find a good breakdown of compatibilty to see if it'll be as effective and easy to use as if I were to just get a S6straight from one of the Japanese carriers.
I'm requesting assistance from the experts here to see:
1. Will an unlocked Note 5 work on all the LTE bands in Japan, specifically DoCoMo.
2. How easy is it to take a phone that's unlocked and start a new contract in Japan (bought new/from the company when I was last here).
Thank you in advance!
I was considering that too as I just returned to the USA from a 3 week trip to Korea. I believe you're fine for using it in Japan, but I had to order a USA model because the LTE bands that the Korean phone supports didn't include band 4 which my provider here in the states uses.
I am 90% sure NTT DoCoMo will be fine with the Korean model of the Note 5
As far as starting a contract I have no idea about Japanese companies but I don't imagine they would have a problem with just setting you up with an account and SIM card.

Using an unlocked att device outside USA

I want to buy a galaxy note 5 from Amazon while I'm in America and use it in a different country where I live.
The device I am considering is the sm-n920a. I've checked the cellular bands and they Mach.
I'm have a few questions since it is not the international version or the sm-n920c that is sold in my country.
1. I heard people saying that it won't fully support my language since it is an att phone. It seemed odd to me because I thought that if the international version supports the language any module should.
2. Will there be a problem with OTA updates?
3. At the price point of 360$, is the note 5 really the best phone to buy?
Thanks

I have an unlocked AT&T Note 5 and an international one, both work perfectly even though I live outside America. And about updates I am not sure but you can always search for custom roms with the latest features for the device on the forum. And overall the n5 is a great phone in my opinion, has everything you need in a phone and more.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 N960FD Dual sim 6GB/128GB

Hello there,
It's my first post here. Currently I am using samsung galaxy a3 2017.
I want to buy note 9. There is couple versions available at eglobalcentral and I'm looking for unlocked and eu/uk version.
Currently I'm with three, but dual sim option is tempting since I travel a lot.
Do you know if version n960fd is free of career useless apps and if it will be working fine in Ireland? Lte vise it should be working to my knowledge but I wanted to ask for your advice.
Regards,
Rafal

i know 1800 mhz is Three LTE network, here in the UK as that's the band they purchased for 4G LTE i'm not sure about ireland. Also make sure you get the Exynos as it supports all LTE bands globally same for HSPDA, HSDPA+, 3G Etc,
Also im not sure about sim unlocked as i purchased my note direct from Samsung UK i have to make a full 5 min call in the UK/EU before i can use it in the asian region, or globally as there's a sticker on the box that warns me about that!
i aint sure if one would have to make the call in asia i.e Hong Kong for full 5 mins before it starts to work over here in the UK or in your case ireland,
as eGlobal is based in Hong Kong all is stock is for the Asian market...
i could be wrong i'm sure some XDA user will know the answer!
Hey, bump up on this thread.
I bought the model mentioned in the headline.
I did not try dual sim (or 2nd sim slot) in terms of LTE, but I have received a UK version of the phone from global central. It was 690 with shipping.
Everything works as intended and I'm happy with the device.

Question Dual Sim HELP

Needing a dual SIM phone for one of my clients. He is coming from an 8T. He bought an Unlocked 10 Pro from the US OnePlus website only to realize it is single sim. A quick search shows the international version has dual sim support Checking on Amazon I see both an international version and a Chinese version? The Chinese version also sells for about $200 less. I searched and could find very little about each phone working in the US. Are both these phones International and Chinese the same phone? Both dual SIM? Both have the same bands? If I purchase the Chinese version will I need to flash with a global or US rom?
Any drawbacks to having either phone in the US?
Thanks

I'm in the UK and have the NE2213 which is essentially the global version.
Personal I'd avoid the Chinese version but that's me
You can change region but I'd rather pay the money and get the real deal.
Warranty is going to he an issue, unless you're buying it from Amazon.
As far I've read the EU / NE2213 should work as expected for what you want.
Have a google for what signal bands are required for the sins you're going to be using , it should still work but best to verify
me too bought USA version and later found that its single sim 2215. I converted to 2211 and enable dual sim support, added second imei, inserted dual sim tray as well but no matter what second imei is always null and second sim never detected.
