Hi all, I'm having problems accessing apps/games on Google Play. Games like N.O.V.A 3, say incompatible with your device.
I am from the UK, but the S4 Mini I have (GT-I9190) does not have any United Kingdom firmware. Where as the LTE version does.
Is there anything I can do other than wait for UK firmware... Will Samsung ever release any for this phone? Or am I totally screwed.
No one at all can help or give advice? :crying:
Try emailing the developers. It's unlikely to be a region lock. The game Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, for example, is incompatible with my I9195. But compatible with the I9190.

Just had a look, it is indeed the developer and not the UK region. NOVA 3 is incompatible with the I9190.
Is there any way around this, like editing the Build.prop file? Why is it that the I9195 is compatible and the I9190 is not. When they are the same phone apart from the LTE on the I9195. It's really frustrating me. The I9190 needs more support!
Ask the developer. They may just not be aware that there are 3 variants of the S4 Mini and therefore assumed that just supplying one model number would enable it for all S4 Mini variants.
Developers don't own all phones so they do sometimes rely on customer feedback for things to change

My friend has a Samsung GT-N7108 that he bought here in China. He wanted me to install Google Play on it so he could install more apps. I transferred the .APK file to his phone, installed, and GP won't work. Surprise! So, we have to flash a new ROM to his phone. Only 1 problem - it's the 7108 which is apparently specific to the Chinese domestic market. I tell my friends to bring me when they shop for phones...but noooo, they never call me and buy crap phones like this.
Seeing as this phone is different than other phones in its line, which ROMs are safe to flash? I really don't want to brick my friend's phone...
The N7108 has a different radio unit configured to use China's own version of HSPA called TD-HSPA, which uses TD-SCDMA rather than the WCDMA the rest of the world uses for HSPA.
As a result, N7100/N7105 roms won't even work/boot on an N7108.
Sent from my GT-N7100
Are there any replacement ROMs, anywhere?
Well, actually, I suppose any hackers would be Chinese, and thus the instructions, etc. would be all in Chinese. Oh well, my dumb friend's fault for buying without doing any research first.
Hello,
is there an any custom rom for this device with google play and other european language ?
Thank's
Anyone found a ROM for this thing?
pleas assist to root gt-n7108

Try disabling Google apps & then re-enable them, from apps manager. Same problem occured with my friend's Tab 2, all of a sudden(He didn't buy from other country though)
Galaxy S II
Thanks, i will try to deal with this problem as your instruction.
Hello people. If you go to the Sammobile website you will see that there are many official releases for Galaxy Note P-600 Wi-Fi 10.1 2014 version. I still don't see an official release for UBUCNH2 base band. I wonder if there is another baseband I could use as a functional substitute for my device. Eventhough I don't have any carrier the device model appears under the Telcel carrier at Mexico. In Chile they have the same baseband.
Im asking this because is so annoying that the updates take almost 2 years and I will love to have a ROM which respects all the S-Pen functionalities.
Thanks guys for kind help. Greetings.
Hi,
I'm planning to buy a Galaxy Watch in Korea, to use in France, because I'll have the opportunity to buy it for much cheaper over there.
I've read in forums about older Samsung watches that Samsung Pay might be region-locked. Is it true for the Galaxy Watch too? Is there a way to hack it to change the region, and change a Korean watch to a European one?
I think it is eloisant. I have a chinese version bought from Todydeals online and samsung pay is missing. When I press in the back button nothing happens and in settings is says there is no payment softwear installed. Please could someone give me instructions for how to change it to UK version if this is the fix. Cheers
no samsung pay on US version
i have model SM-R820 and haven't been able to find the samsung pay app. I have tried a few things, like updating OS, resetting the phone, but no luck getting app on my Galaxy Active 2 watch. Any ideas?

Hello,
I am quite interested in purchasing this device! I live in Washington D.C. and I was curious which model of the phone is best suited for use in America? I ask because I assume there are probably different model numbers depending on what region the phone is purchased from.
Thanks

Link to where you see it please.
I cant find an FCC cert for that model and only see it listed on Samsung India's site:
https://www.samsung.com/in/smartphones/galaxy-a70-a705g/SM-A705GZWHINS/#specs
And from what I can see, that will not work in North America
good news is I found another version that should work so that brings us to
SM-705MN
SM-A705YN
SM-705W*
* for the SM-705W I have not seen the cert myself, but going off information another posted listed on XDA

Yes Samsung Pay Works On The A70..
But... Samsung Pay is : "Region Specific" depending on Model in a given Region. . So, choose your model carefully.

I have the SM-705MN and i can confirm that samsung pay WILL NOT WORK here in the USA.
I was wondering if anybody had the M or W and if it worked on theirs?
And if so could we swap firmware?
or even possibly change the CSC with out flashing the firmware?

Simply Put..
There is NO WAY, NO FIRMWARE SWAP, NADA... ZIP.. That Samsung Pay will work on ANY A70 in the United States Of America.
Period..
If Google Pay does not cut if for you.. time to return / sell your device and get a S6, S7, S8, S9, S10, Note 5, Note 8, Note 9, or wait for the Note 10.. if S-Pay means that much to you.
You can buy the A50 through Sprint.. and have a working Samsung Pay MINI in the U.S.A. as an alternative..
Until I found out Google Pay works in 99% of the place I personally shop.. I was going to return my A70 and go for one of the mentioned device listed above.
I still might... there is something just not feeling right about this purchase.. Great Battery, Fingerprint is Ok for me, Face Unlock is very fast.. even in the dark, 6.7 inch screen seems to be where screens are headed, Amoled is... Amoled the best. You can't root and trip knox, and use Samsung Pay on any device.. even though there appears to be a workaround for using Google Pay.. But I'm fine not rooting with Developer's not having any interest in this device and TWRP seems like a distant dream at this point..
So, why am I just not feeling this device?.. It seems perfect on so many fronts.. but.... with Prime Day coming in a couple of weeks.. and also having thoughts of spending $270.00 more and getting the One Plus 7 Pro.. I just don't know what it is about the A70 for me.. but something is missing at this price point..
Maybe the rumored A507 and A707 ( A50 and A70 ) updated models which are due out later this year will get sold through U.S. carriers or get offered by Samsung directly in the U.S.A. but I'm sure those will be Late 2019 releases. But if they do get released in the U.S. at least the A70 would have Samsung Pay support out of the box.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but just to be clear, the best model for use in the USA would be the SM-A705W (the Canadian model)?

The SM-A705MN/DS is the best for use in the US.
