Hi guys, I finally decided to flash my Canadian Note 9 (SM-N960W) with Android 10. I now have an unbranded XAA CSC American Note 9 (SM-N960U) and almost everything is working perfectly, including WiFi Calling and VoLTE, but I have that one and only problem that is bothering me:
Every single time I try to open "Security" under "Device Care", the sreen goes black and the phone become unresponsive. Security status is "Deactivated" but I didn't disable it so I'm not so sure what's happening here.
I tried to download and install "Samsung Device Security" from XDA but it won't install. For some reason it's missing from my phone.
Any idea what's going on?
If that is the only issue then all is golden. Security that is not enabled refers to a not an active bundled antivirus solution which as you know is totally unnecessary. It does not refer to Samsung device security.
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.
I can't see a forum for the Samsung Gear Active 2, so I am writing this here (hope its okay). I have Gear Active 2 from Samsung and about a month I got the software update which I thought would include the long waited ECG option. However once I installed the Tizen update all that it did was to add fall dectection, and some changed menus.
So my question is, is the ECG option in the latest Tizen update blocked in some areas of the world? If yes can it be unlocked with having to hard and software reset my phone?

I just got a new S21 Ultra dual sim Latin American variant, because no US version dual sim Samsung exists. I have a US Version Galaxy Watch 3 that pairs nicely with it, except when the health monitor app on the phone tries to open for the ECG I get an error saying that it is not available in my location. I verified with Samsung that this is because the phone is a non US variant and there is no way around this limitation (according to them), even though ECG is cleared for use in my home country (USA).
So an idea I am exploring now is to send this phone back (still in return period) and buy a UK variant dual sim S21 Ultra. My reasoning is that ECG is cleared for use in UK and apparently the health monitor app is working for the UK. I asked Samsung tech support and the agent said I would not be able to get through the health monitor "onboarding process" from a physical US location using a UK origin device. She didn't think using a UK IP VPN would help any, but she didn't seem sure. Still it seems like a legit idea to me ... the phone is from an "ECG cleared" country and I live in an "ECG cleared" country. But does logic apply with Samsung . . . I am not so sure anymore.
Do you think this idea would work?
Any other ideas of how I could end up with a dual sim S21 on which the health monitor app (ECG, etc) would work . . . that wouldnt risk bricking my phone?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
So here is a second idea to run past the experts here:
change CSC (currently set to TPA ) to XAA using method in this link:
Change CSC on Samsung Devices | Guide | iHax
Looking for a way to change CSC/Country Specific Code on your Samsung Galaxy device? Here's a quick guide on how to do it easily.
ihax.io
I actually pulled up that radio button screen to see what it currently was, but I chickened out of changing it
1) would this change make my dual sim phone a single sim phone?
2) is there a chance it would be impossible to revert back to TPA if the change caused problems?
3) any chance this change would brick the phone?
4) since I have 2 imei numbers, what is the result of making this change on only one imei?
5) do you think this change would solve the problem of not being able to start up and "onboard" the health monitor app?
Changing a csc from dual sim variant to dual sim variant shouldn't have any impact on IMEI. Almost no chance to brick the phone.
CSC just define preinstalled apps and features (ECG, call recording...)
I would say its worth the try but I can't guarantee anything

thanks for that. Actually Id be changing CSC from dual sim variant (Latin America) to single sim variant (USA). Do you think that would cause issues ... like break the dual sim functionality?
So I backed up and looked at this complete mess Samsung has me in trying to kludge their products into working after I paid a hefty price for them and I made a decision. Im still in the return period on everything. So everything is getting boxed back up for return (chargers/watch/phone/cables/etc). Im going to take that money and put it into a dual sim Iphone12 and Apple Watch 6 which apparently works very well in the USA right out of the box with no complicated hacks. Been awhile since I hitched myself to the Apple Wagon ... we'll see how it goes. So long Samsung. RELIEF!
so i tried the iphone for awhile and I just couldnt do it anymore. so the new iphone went to the wife, and i got a Note 20 Ultra (Tmobile brand) today and the dual sim (using esim) does work . . . BUT
1) you have to endure Tmobile unlock policy nonesense
2) the dual sim functionality isnt as finely controlable as iphone or dual sim androids. you select one which of the esim/sim will be "primary" and it will use data. so you cant have the physical sim as the data user and the esim as the primary voice/sms line.
annoying , but not insurmountable issues.
not a bad phone, but the bronze color is actually more like a pink. a big plus for some would be the expandable memory.
a HUGE con is the price . . . 1300 USD
apparently ONLY the TMobile branded us version Note 20's have the esim enabled.
Have you checked the watch does not have to be from a country that supports ECG feature not the phone?
I cannot confirm whether or not the country of the watch itself has any effect. All I can say for sure is the phone has to be a version from a country that supports the ECG feature.
Hi I have found this video
apparently there is an option to enable phone recording without losing data. Did anyone try this procedure with note 9?
Apparently not every phone can be able to change this CSC code. I also have note 9 with 2 sins card, will I have be a le to use still 2 sims cards after this procedure?
Please help
Well It's working!
just tried it on my Note 10+ and worked like a charm.
but something I did different, is that I downloaded the last SamFW 4.1 from the website (the GUI is different), and I activated USB-Debugging.
Hi Just came across this and am looking to enable CR on my S21 ultra. Does it affect other applications like revolut ? I dont want to lose access to revolut and i want to change my CSC code to India so i can enable call recording but i dont think revolut is available in India yet ?
