Hi folks,
Back after a while ... I was in the Middle east and had purchased the Note 5 (SM-N920C) that had the United Arab Emirates (XSG) version of firmware. I had leave the Middle East recently and have moved to India. Back here in India, I find that:
a) I'm tied to a UAE version of Samsung Pay
b) I cannot access apps available only for India (YouTube Go for example)
In an effort to sort my problem I'm considering switching firmware. Do you think this is possible? A quick search reveals that I may not be in luck but I thought I might as well ask and have my fear confirmed
Thank you for any input
Sure you can as long you got the model correct
I have a 950F/DS that thinks I'm in the UK, but I'm in the U.S. Is there anyway to change that?
Hey guys,
I'm really intested to get the galaxy watch 3 but sadly in Germany they don't offer the ecg/BP yet. If I buy a watch from a US store, let it ship overseas and activate it in Germany will I be able to use those functions?
There is no BP yet but you do get ECG. If you want everything SPay, BP, ECG and such use the Brazil ZTO firmware.

I don't know the answer to this. The issue is also to check if you have LTE support for watch bought in USA as well if you choose this version.
I know for example where I live on GW3 they will not get ECG and BP in the future so buying in a different market or changing csc is relevant for me as well.
It seems sideloading ECG/BP with the latest firmware is now not so easy.
You can buy the watch in Germany. When you setup the watch you can choose a different region, e. g. Spain. Spain supports BP, ECG, spO2, and Samsung Pay.
I bought my watch in Holland (same problem, no functions released yet, except spO2) and got everything working by choosing Spain as region.
Please do make sure the watch is intended for the German Market. Some retailers import watches from abroad. If the country they imported the watch from is not part of the group of countries Germany and Spain are part of, you get stuck. In Holland, e. g. Coolblue only sells products intended for the Dutch market and are quite reliable. BOL and Amazon work with 3rd party retailers who import from abroad and are not reliable in this aspect. Coolblue is also active in Germany.
You can also buy directly from Samsung.de,which shouldn't give you a problem either.

Some had complained they couldnt see one or the other. Wasn't aware all functions work with Spain CSC as Brazil ZTO had official BP confirmation and other functions.
Hi everyone, I’m writing from Italy.
In October I bought a galaxy watch3 LTE from Amazon.USA and imported it here in Italy, cause it was not available yet here, it was released in the lte version only recently.
I didn’t know that the watch was not compatible here in Italy, but only for the US, and after the last update of a week ago I’m having issues with the watch, like connection problems, notifications not appearing on the watch and also the LTE is not working.
I tried to contact both Samsung US and Amazon US, but they both told me that they cannot do anything to help me, no replacement or return, nothing.
So I searched online if there was a way to change my watch software from US to Italy, and with my extreme surprise I found out that there is the possibility to change the region of the watch to every country in the world.
My questions are: what can I do to change the region of my US galaxy watch3 LTE? There are any compatible ways to do that? Will the change of the region prevent my watch to get future updates? And after the change will I be able to use LTE here in Italy?
Thanks to everyone who will reply!!
P.S. I have to change the current SM-R845U (that is a US version) to an SM-R845F (that should be an Italian version, right?)
I believe you should check the lte chip in your watch to make sure it is compatible with italian mobile operators.
Which region( csc) has all three features i.e ecg, bp and samsung pay ?
I have heard if i change to korea there is no samsung pay .
I guess changing to UK , ITALY may get all 3 features working.
Anybody having knowledge, please confirm
Spain has all three. PHE.
I'm in the UK and using the UK settings. Everything is working for me... Ecg, blood pressure, Oxygen and Samsung pay.
