Hi,
I'm looking to get a Galaxy Watch5 LTE, but I am currently using a Vivo X80 Pro rather than a Samsung phone. EE's website suggests the watch is only compatible with Samsung phones which I highly doubt but does anybody know what functionality I would be missing if not using a Samsung phone?

Greetings,
I am in the market for a tablet and I am considering the Galaxy Tab 8.9. AT&T in the US is offering a deal where if you buy and activate an AT&T locked 8.9 Galaxy Tab you get a free Samsung Galaxy S2 or S2 Skyrocket.
Here are my questions:
1. What are the benefits or drawbacks from buying the AT&T branded and locked Galaxy Tab 8.9 versus the unlocked Galaxy Tab as shown here on Expansys: http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...16gb-android-tablet-black-850-1900-3g-223265/
2. Is the AT&T Galaxy Tab easy to unlock and use sim cards from other countries when traveling abroad?
3. Are there any other differences hardware wise between the AT&T Galaxy Tab and the one in the link above? I cannot find any and have checked multiple sites for information.
4. Would it be possible to flash the rom of the unlocked Galaxy tab to the AT&T Tab?
Any help or opinions greatly appreciated!
I will try to answer you the best I can.
1. AT&T version is faster and newer from my knowledge, but with far less developmental support. ATT supports 4g and LTE while the old tabs only do 3g and wifi. The older generation tablets have good developmental support with an ICS port in development. No custom ROMS at the moment for the ATT version.
2. No experience here, sorry.
3. The old tabs have tegra2 chips, while the ATT version uses qualcomm (snapdragon) chipsets. ATT is 1.5ghz while the 3g one is 1ghz. Both dual core. ATT battery capacity is ever so slightly larger as well. ATT version is 2 grams heavier (lol). The ATT one is considered snappier and more responsive from what i hear, but if the 3g one receives ICS then they could be comparable. The ROMS and Kernels from the older tabs are not compatable with the ATT LTE one. The closest thing to the ATT tablet is the Galaxy S II Skyrocket.
4. ATT Tab is only rooted at the moment through a custom kernel. No CWM or ROMS yet.
Hope this helps, and if I am wrong anywhere someone correct me. Thanks.
Thanks for your help that was very informative! I am still curious about the unlock on the AT&T version though because I travel a lot. Anyone else have any ideas about unlocking the AT&T Tab? I did several searches but could not find specific information for the AT&T version. Thanks.

2. It's unlockable online.
SIM unlock
Has the question about unlocking solved? I was looking at the tablet too and wanted to find a way to unlock it? Is there a way to do it after rooting it? I don't want to buy it from one of those unlock website.
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone have managed to get their Galaxy Note to work with Sony XAV701BT/601BT's MirrorLink?
I know Note is not yet compatible as per their website. It will be good to be able to get it working earlier.
Any help will be appreciated
I bought an international model of the Note 8, model N950FXXS3CRF1, and ever since day 1, I can't get Samsung Pay to work. I was able to get it setup for my Gear S3, so it's not like I'm completely unable to use it, but this is a bit concerning for me in a way that I'll explain in a moment.
First off, when I go to the Galaxy Apps store, I'm unable to find Samsung Pay for download. Naturally, I went and just hunted down the latest APK for the app instead, though, whenever I open it, it just says it's temporarily unable to connect. Again, this doesn't affect the Gear S version of the app, it's still fully-functioning, it's only doing this for the phone version.
Now, the reason this is concerning to me is because, as far as I can tell after doing a bit of research, is that the version of the Note 8 port of Android belongs to a country that doesn't have support for Samsung Pay, thus leading me to suspect that there might be some more features I'm missing out on.
So, can anyone tell me which version of the Note 8 firmware I can install that'll allow me use of the phone version of Samsung Pay?
Where will you use your phone? You can install Mexico's FW, it will include samsung pay, no need to side load

If you purchased your Note 8 from a grey importer. Chances are you receieved a Note 8 that was not intended for use in your country. Despite the fact that it is an international variant. If the device is not intended for use in your country, you won't be able to use Samsung Pay on your device.
Hi,
Anyone know of plans for LineageOS support (or other custom ROM's) for this unique model? Most of the ROMs are stock or for the Exynos model - not looking for that.
I'm still using a Galaxy S5 with each new Android OS release (now LineageOS 17.1) - looking to upgrade. The S10 5G Sprint (G977P) model allows bootloader unlocking, has a headphone/mic jack and has a capable notification LED around the front camera (unlike the S20 models). And the S10 5G (Sprint) is much cheaper now on eBay- $500-$600, less for preowned. Plan to use this phone on AT&T bands, despite the chance that 5G may not work well or at all.
Thanks.
I bought my Samsung S21 Ultalra 5G in Nigeria. Now living in Switzerland but the phone is unable to activate Samsung Health Monitor. Samsung says this is because the S21 Ultra sold in Nigeria have a different capacity and processor from those in Europe and cannot be swapped either.
Does anyone have an idea if I could do a major software upgrade or something to make this phone compatible with Samsung health monitor?
