Wrong answer. Doesn't belong here.

Hello all.
Thinking about buying an HTC Hero, but after reading a bit in various Norwegian sites, I'm beginning to think that I cannot buy all applications that I want. This because there is some regional locking or something??
I really want to buy CoPilot navigation software for my navigation needs, but really start to wonder if I actually will be able to...
Anyone who knows about this?
Best regards
Tommy
Yeah I have the same question in Hungary! What is the reason of using this region locking or what...
I think it's just to do with the paid apps thing.
When the US got paid apps... we didn't have them in the UK, anything that wasn't free wasn't displayed up until recently I think
When paid apps and/or google checkout comes to hungary you should be able to buy.
If not wait a few weeks for someone to root the Hero and install a US/UK or developer ROM and you should be able to access all items.

OK, so its the ROM thats the key here?
The phones sold here in Norway are english only as far as I've found out. Maybe it works then?

I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Note I717R from Rogers and unlocked it to work with my existing service provider, MTS. I detailed everything in a blog post in case any one is thinking about doing the same (or something similar):
Setting up a Samsung.Galaxy Note for MTS
Hopefully someone finds this useful.
I had to pay $25 for this service, not $8. Did they drop the price?
Nice write up.. and always enjoying reading Canadian stuff

Sorry Amigo, there is no free unlock for non at&t models. You can pay $19 from www.cellphoneunlockers.com.
Those free unlock apps don't work on the note.

I was a useful post. Just as a head's up, I tried to get a code for the same model from 'unlockphonenetwork' and paid $34.95. They promise a code in 0-5 hrs. After waiting half a day, and not getting any response from their email support address, I filed a dispute with Paypal. Now I just have to wait. Now I wish I had used the same code provider that you did.

Thanks very much for that, I'll have to give that a try.
So in the interest of fairness as a follow up the code did eventually arrive after 12 hours. Now I normally would not be so anal (bad pun in light of the below) about these things, but the reason I bought one in a hurry and not spent more time in XDA Developers looking for a solution was because my daughter had been admitted to hospital in the Philippines (not serious, just dehydration from ongoing traveller's gut) and my son had just arrived with his Note that I had rooted before he left but not unlocked. As I wanted to communicate with them ASAP I thought the $35.00 would be a justified expense because they claimed they would provide it on 0-5hrs (within a minute of me paying for it the window on the site proclaimed that I (first name and last initial) had just completed unlocking a Samsung i717). At one point someone (Jason So) did reply to my email to support and just said 'were working on it'. In spite of me pointing out why I was in a hurry when they finally sent it, no apology or any explanation, so I'm not too impressed. I'll carry on with my Paypal dispute just to see what happens now and use your method instead, thanks again for the post.
Update: In the interest of fairness again, the seller did offer me a partial refund for being late ($14.95), which I accepted as the phone was already half a planet away with a 14yr old who would be challenged to flash it where he is. Interesting how these sellers never provide a name (I got the Jason from the embedded header) or engage the buyer in any sort of conciliatory dialogue, if they did they'd probably gain more respect. However I didn't want to give the seller an unfair rap, thus the update.

I don't think you could purchase it from India, maybe I'm wrong too. Same like even if you use Market Unlocker for getting access to Music, Movies, Magazines etc. its still unusable if you are outside US. About using proxy, I'm not sure, maybe have to use IP changer too.
I just need some way to order the device from India
Any User from the US can tell me about the payment steps ?Just requires me to have a credit card and then input and address for it to be shipped right ?
No confirmation of residency and stuff ?
Mee 2 got the same ****ing error....

Hi,
I frequently visit the UK and would very much like to get my hands on a Nexus 10. Unfortunately, since i don't have a UK credit card i don't seem to be able to order from play.google.com ( i get some bogus error, but my guess is that the problem is the credit card ). I have considered getting some of my UK colleagues to order it for me, but i am thinking that will be a hassle if there are problems with it.
Therefore i was wondering if anyone know of any other UK physical or online stores that sell the Nexus 10?
PS: I realize there is another thread on availability, but it covers the whole world and mostly talks about getting it from the Google store.
Nope, only the Google Play Store currently sells it here in the UK.
Here in Sweden we officially only have the 64 GB SM-N950F and FD versions available, but since I want masses of storage AND dual SIM cards I decided to go for the Hong Kong version of the SM-N9500 via http://wondamobile.com. In case anyone else is considering doing the same, I thought I would contribute my experience in detail.
TL, DR: Wonda Mobile have been great, they have answered my e-mails promptly and paid the import customs for me very quickly, but I haven't yet tried the phone. (Opening it on Xmas Day.)
I ordered the phone on a Wednesday evening, it arrived the following Monday.
They informed me in an order confirmation e-mail that they would pay any customs charges added. When I received a payment link from DHL, I sent it to Wonda Mobile and they quickly paid it for me.
The phone came with a UK/HK plug, not Euro / F-type sadly. It would have been great if they switched the plug to match the customer’s country of residence. But I was prepared beforehand to keep using some of my current Note 4 chargers (which provide the same amps and volts) with new USB-C cables.
The seal on the box had been cut open. Everything seemed untouched though, so I didn't understand why it had been opened. When I asked Wonda Mobile about it they replied: “Most of our products will unseal for quality check before ship. And it is 100% brand new.”
I started up the phone quickly to check that it was factory reset and the setup guide was already in English. Does anyone know if English is the default in Hong Kong?
My intention is to update this thread when I have tried the phone out. Primarily I'm curious about how/if Samsung Pay will work here in Sweden.
I have the same phone ... Samsung Pay doesn't work here in the UK. I think it will only work in Hong Kong. Enjoy your phone ... it's a great piece of kit!

From what I know Sam pay will only work if the bank you use has made an agreement with your bank. In UK I don't think they have any agreement yet as I was unable to use it and when I looked into it they only have less then 10 banks in their scheme. It said on their website that they are working on getting more banks to join Sam pay. Hope they get the UK banks to sign up quick.
I doubt it will work in Sweden yet or anywhere else in Scandinavia.
Thanks for the replies.
Regarding Samsung Pay, I have yet to try it out IRL, but I have added my debit card and it seems to be setup properly. Here in Sweden, Samsung Pay actually seems to have come quite a long way. Several of the major banks support it, including mine (Swedbank), and supposedly nearly all card transaction machines have support for it too. The setup was straight forward and I haven't had to do anything special to get it to work. (But again, I haven't actually tried to use it to pay yet.)
Overall, I'm very pleased with the phone so far. But setting it up can be a little overwhelming. There are so many options and features, and it takes a lot of energy to make informed decisions on all the options.
The phone seems to have come with a full set of languages available. The Swedish language is fine, but has some rough edges here and there. For some reason, the phone came with Facebook and Word, Excel and Powerpoint apps pre-installed and they cannot be (easily) uninstalled, so I have disabled them for now.
Since the phone came with a UK plug I have ordered a EURO type Samsung USB C charger, as well as two Belkin 2 metre USB 2.0 USB A to USB C cables. I hope the latter will be able to deliver full power from the adaptive fast chargers (9V & 1.67A).
I asked for a Rhinoshield Crashguard for Xmas, so that's what I'm using for protection at the moment. I've also got a DBrand black dragon skin for the back which I haven't applied yet. (I'm still very much enjoying the ocean blue back colour.)
I used Sam Pay today and it worked fine!
That's awesome. Sounds like you made a good decision with the N9500. You got all the features you want and Samsung Pay works natively.
I'm jealous of the 256GB of storage, but I love my black N950U. These are amazing devices for sure.
I bought the 128gb version and tried SamPay today. Worked a treat!
Still a bit gutted that the region can't be changed to UK for the offers and loyalty cards but hey, 128gb blue

Cool! Glad to hear it works in the UK too. I wonder if my Swedish setup will work when I visit next time?
You need the "Samsung pay framework apk" and "samsung pay apk" for you country/region. Reinstall it and Samsung pay will work again

Thank you!
I extracted the APK from an s7 but on installing it framework it threw up an error and didn't allow it.
Is that because it was from an s7?

Can't you just download the official firmware (through Sammobile or using SamFirm) and flash it using Odin?
