I remember that the UK CSC was the best for the S7 Exynos. I'm current using ZTO (Brazil) and it's really slow in updates.
Have you guys changed the CSC? What is the best in your opnion?
Here my is zto too. But changes will lost Samsung pay and caller ID service. I think dont worth.
I changed from o2u (O2 UK) to BTU (unbranded UK) just to get quicker updates, the unbranded versions will always get updates quicker as they have no carrier checks.

Guys tell me. R805F - will samsung pay work in RF? Maybe after changing the firmware or region csc? Seen on xda .... Bought in Germany gbt. And what about autonomy compared to the bluetooth version? Thank.
Hello people,
I bought an active 2 smartwatch with LTE (eSIM) in Spain. I thought it would be relatively easy to turn it on in Portugal (the initial version is supported by one of the network operators). However I have come to the conclusion that the network connection depends on the "goodwill of the network operator", although both smartwatches have exactly the same connection frequencies. Is this anyway or is something escaping my comprehension ?
Any one can help ?
Best Regards

Your PHE (Spain) watch won't work in Portuguese networks, neither Samsung Pay (in case you have Samsung Pay in Portugal).
For both features to work, is mandatory to change CSC from PHE (Spain) to TPH (Portugal)... With this smartwatch, R825F, till now is not possible. Read this thread for a similar smartwatch, the R830 https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/galaxy-watch/changing-region-galaxy-active-2-t3983895 and you'll see that is a complex process and it involves the use of a combination file specific to the smartwatch and for the R825F till now is not available anywhere.
I'm in your same situation, I have the DBT (German) CSC, and I want to use in Spain, so I need to change to PHE. So eagerly waiting (and searching) for the R825F combination file.
Any help appreciated!

Hi.
Thanks for the comment. I don't think if that's the question (PHE), I think the letters identify the language of the country. The base version:
https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-watch-active2/carrier/
is exactly the same for a group of countries. I think there must be technical problems that only with the introduction of 5G networks will be solved, however in Portugal a older model sold by an Portuguese operator works perfectly:
https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-watch/carrier/
and the frequencies are exactly the same.
Merry Christmas
Dear Guerrero
I just connected my Samsung smartwatch bought in Spain to the carrier network in Portugal that already has eSIM.
I could only do it using an IPhone 11 smartphone, which was able to read the QR Code, because with my Samsung S9, I couldn't reach this stage.
I am experiencing the behavior of my smartwatch SM-R835, then I will tell my impressions.
Greetings
Hi all,
I live in Europe and am planning to buy a Snapdragon S20+ from HongKong.
I've checked which network bands the HK phone supports and all bands I need are there.
Before placing the order I want to check with you guys if I have a clear picture of all limitations that come with buying a HK S20+ in Europe.
The list I compiled so far:
- No Samsung Pay (I don't care, won't use it)
- VOLTE may or may not work depending on your carrier (I don't care, I barely call and if I call I don't care about the quality)
- No warranty in Europe .
- Difference in timing of updates
Anything else I should take into account?

Carrier Aggregation may suffer, which will reduce download speeds. I have a Hong Kong variant, VoLTE, WiFi Calling and Samsung Pay work however I'm in the US, your results may vary as you mentioned depending on the carrier. Don't expect you can modify the CSC, you can't change it. Samkey doesn't support HK variants and OXM, which allows Preconfiguration changes for different European CSC's isn't embedded in the software. Updates have come in a timely fashion every month and there's no Carrier Branded Bloatware. Even though the device has some limitations I've been pleased with the HK variant, anything but Exynos!

Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I'll go for the HK version then. Don't see any reason why I shouldn't.
Actually Samsung Pay should work in Europe flawlessly, only thing that won't work is rewards. To be more precise, rewards do work, but the rewards shown are the ones of the phone's original country...
As for the Samkey CSC change limitation, I remember reading a post here about a user that changed CSC from Taiwan to Hong Kong using Samkey...

Good to know. I'm currently not using or planning to use Samsung Pay but that might change in the future.
Regarding the CSC limations, I don't see any reason why I would need to change the CSC.
Reason why you may want to think twice is that in the event if you get unit with poor uniformity seller may not be willing to replace it as easily
How do you plan on buying it?

I bought mine from T-Dimension. Just be sure to order from their .de or .co.uk site and you don't have to pay any customs. Cheeper then the Exynos version here in Sweden. Took about 2 weeks to get the phone. First they ship it from HK to their warehouse in UK then from there to me.
Skickat från min SM-G9860 via Tapatalk
I have ordered the phone from WondaMobile.
They have the HongKong Snapdragon version for the same price as the Exynos in my country.
Also no customs are being charged as they will ship it from/via the UK.
I have ordered S20 ultra also from WondaMobile. I was on 6th of May and I'm hopping the delivery will not take to much time. I also hope I don't have to send it back because of broken camera glass or other issues which s20 ultra suffers...
Hello
My S20 Ultra comes to WondaMobile and is amazing (model 512/16GB)
Samsung Pay and Volte work perfectly.
Photos are fantastic.
I also have the Snapdragon version
Get it. I had the Exynos and it had a poor battery life plus other disadvantages

Hello, what is the CSC, what is the use of it and why someone would change it? Are the european languages supported in this version?
Hello
I have just had delivery of my new s20 plus in grey which came direct from samsung uk
I have set the phone up and noticed that the firmware is march 2020 with no new updates
I knew the uk btu handset is on may 2020 however my csc shows EUX even set the phone up with a 3 sim ....
I have emailed samsung but wonder if there is any way I can get a BTU CSC for update as even samsung pay won't work
I have downloaded csc app from google and it only shows the one csc and no others .. samsung pay also says coming soon
very disspointed with samsung in fact I am really cheesed off ...
thanks in advance

There you go - I have had some contact with Samsung after I complained but they are being Arsy with me - I have a tab s6 and it’s BTU so don’t know why I have ended up with this CSC and they are two / three firmware versions behind
sorry just noticed its EUX not as I have put .. .
Eux is the European version of the phone and not the UK version. It does have multi csc for BTU so should theoretically read yr UK sim card and ensure all UK services are active. Try a full factory reset. Otherwise ask Samsung for a BTU device.
Has u also looked at sammobile for the most up to date EUX firmware and flashed via odin?
I am returning it to Samsung as they have claimed it’s a UK version and will get updates which is crap because it’s not even on Sam mobile
I only have macs so can’t flash software and don’t really want to start messing with it as Samsung we’re naughty in giving me the handset they did
I’ve got pick up Friday and gonna order off amazon which is showing UK model
I tried factory reset and it still shows same
It only shows the European version available when I’ve gone into the info vi an app off google
Won’t ever buy from Samsung again
Think BTU is Europe and OXM its UK and Ireland

- you have not reboot your device after first wifi connexion

Found a way to change the CSC on our Fold 4!
Hi guys, This is not gonna be much info but to let you know it is possible, at a cost. So I bought an F936N - CSC: KTC (Korean). It came with the KT branding and the nasty bloatware with the extra setting menu for KT. I was sick of it. I tried...

maybe this could help.
Hey.
I think everybody in Europe has the same issue.
I'm in France and detected in Germany so I can't set up Samsung Wallet.
On my S21U, same SIM, same place, that works.
They f*cked up something with their new EUX CSC.
I've sent them a lot of message and posted on the Members app but I didn't get any answer.
It happens to me the same way I have csc eux eux eux wwa
hi, i have the same problem, fold 4 Germany and samsung pay doesn't work. I changed CSC putting the India one but I hadn't received the update to A13 and therefore I had to put CSC Eux back, the problem remains DTM branded. On you tube there is a guide through the Alliance Shield app to change the region but I don't understand if it works for A13.
