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 ?

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.

hello
I am from syria i got htc sensation i want to use market to download program but it's not working here , i tried to use market enabler but still same i don't know what to do
Hi, do you have accept the ToS of the Market ?
Syria is sanctioned country for any company in the United States. Thus Google is not allowed to do business with anybody in Syria. See: http://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/sanctions/Programs/Pages/Programs.aspx
From what I've read you can run Android Market when you use a SIM from another country in your phone (the phone of course needs to be SIM unlocked to do that).
Yea no getting around the government shut down unless ya have an unlocked phone. But even then the service in your country may be locked instead of individual phones and sim cards. So even if you had say a US sim card would it even work, and if it did work once you got on the market would it allow you access outside your countries intranet to use google? Id ask around before spending any earned money lol... Here in America out internet isnt to limited. Going online and typing www.google.com and nothing showing up or getting that this website doesnt exist error would suck!
Just my noob 2 cents!

I'd like to get rid of the Huawei UI and get something clean like AOSP or CM.
Do we have any roms yet?
None so far. It seems Huawei hasn't released any sources yet.
As a workaround, just install any 3rd party launcher. Nova works fine.
Nova would probably be the first thing I put on there, I hear this phone doesn't come with the Google play store though?
What about root? Has that been done yet? Gotta uninstall all the junk

There isn't much junk on this phone, quite a clean ROM. The International models come with Play store. The China models have an installable Play store from the Huawei app store, so there is no problem.
To root, you need to first install HiSuite, then enable USB debugging, then run Root Genius.
I'm not sure which version I ordered. I got the FDD Dual LTE one from here..
http://www.huaweimobileshop.com/
Does HiSuite come with the phone or do I have to download it somewhere?

Excellent! Thank you!
I guess the first thing to do once I get the phone is to update it to the latest firmware via HiSuite and then root it.
I wonder if I need to unlock the phone as well? I will be putting in a sim card from the US, but I suspect phones outside the US aren't carrier locked.

OK, thanks. Any import tax on charged on it?
I'm in the UK and a bit concerned that I'm going to get hit with another £30 or £40 in import duty, as it'll be coming from the Far East. It might not be the same in the US though I suppose.
Does anyone know how it works regarding import tax/duty to the UK?

USA doesn't charge tax/customs for these devices. Some China based vendors will offer to ship the item without the original retail packaging to avoid additional taxes for certain destinations.

Yup, no taxes for me. It was either $13 for regular shipping and $19 for expedited shipping, Expedited took 3 days, pretty nice...
That's all I paid over the cost of the phone.

One of my first replies here on XDA, even tho I visit these forums every day.
About customs taxes: I live in The Netherlands, rougly 10% of all incoming parcels gets manually checked and opened by the dutch customs. I always let the seller mark the customs value as 17$ OR BELOW IT. The rule in The Netherlands is that all parcels, coming from outside EU, gets a 21% TAX and €17,50 standard import/clearance costs. Writing now with my X1, imported without any additional costs. Try to let the seller mark 15$ on your parcel and I think you can import it without having to pay taxes. Also this works perfect for me with DHL and small airmail parcels, big parcels (i.e. 20pcs Beats by Dre Studio) shipped with Airmail or HK Speedpost always gets picked out, never with DHL.
Wish you good luck, and let me knpw if you order it and how it's done after importing regardings taxes.

Thanks for the post. I'm hoping a friend of mine can get one from Malaysia and bring it back to the UK for me.
I suppose the important question is actually this:
Is the phone actually worth it - is it any good?

Great.
Phone is actually pretty good. Annoys me that the AOSP Android Development isn't going fast. Chinese forums already have CWM in Chinese language, but still nothing different than MIUI. I've installed the 4.4 Google Now launcher and removed the borders around the icons which MIUI implements by default. Really strange thing is that my Android is way faster now than it was when I got it in the beginning, didn't change anything.
Keyboard typing needs some practice at this big screen, using AOSP keyboard right now but I always type the letter 'M' instead of 'N' and the letter 'P' instead of 'o' lol. Trying to get used to it now for a couple of weeks, but still need to practice more haha.
Hopefully this phone gets dev's attention, so we can get a AOSP rom, but I think we'll need to wait on Huawei for releasing the kernel sources...
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!
Sent from my SM-N9500 using Tapatalk
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
