Gear Vr + SM-G925F - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have ordered a new Gear vr lite from France, and before to purchase a Galaxy S6 Edge, i have some questions:
I leave in Algeria and the firmware for GS6 Edge is the same for ones in Europe "France" SM-G925F
Please confirm whether the Gear Vr can be run with Algerian GS6 Edge? Or i have to buy a French Model?
Your assistance is highly appreciated.

I personally own a gear VR too, and I think it will just run fine.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I heard in some forums that oculus store won't install in some devices that's why i'm asking this question?

Okay, I'm not aware of that, but I think as long as u own the correct phone model then it should works. Anyway I can't confirm for your case, but it is working fine for me, both my phone and gear VR also from the same country. Although I think that mostly it will work, hopefully someone can confirm to you.

Well, i would like to buy it from a local store here instead, if something is wrong with it i could easelly trade but a shipment from uk will prolly take a few weeks to arrive and then to send it back will be a pain.

Where to get the 6GB/128Gb non-pro Now?

Hi all,
I'm keen to get the Mate 10 (non Pro) 6GB/128GB now - and I see some of you have it! (I have the Mate 9 Pro)
I'm in the UK - where's a good place to buy it? I see Wondamobile and TradingShenzhen and some of you give good reviews.
A few places like Banggood have it but not available for weeks.
Can this version be rebranded? FunkyHuawei seem to do it?
I have purchased from Wonda before with good service. Took a while to arrive though! Thinking of the Mate 10 at moment!
I've been in touch - FH say that the Chinese version of the 6GB/128GB can be rebranded to Asia. They're saying not to rebrand to Europe as this is a single sim ROM and they don't know how the second sim slot will behave.
So where can I buy it? Somewhere preferably that can avoid import customs and tax to the UK?

According to Wonda Mobile website, they have arrangements with shipping courier to pay all VAT and import fees. The price at checkout is FINAL. No need to risk being charged a VAT up to 20%
This explains why they're about £50 more than anyone else.
Giztop now appear to have stock and cheaper than Wonda(£699) or Shenzhen(£649) at £615
https://www.giztop.com/phones/huawei-mate-10.html
But Wonda will rebrand the phone for you and have excellent ratings.

I have ordered it from Wonda and asked them to rebrand it to L29C636. I know it's more but I hear it's very difficult to rebrand so I will let them do it.
I'm quite curious as to how well this particular model would work on AT&T in the US? I'd love to grab it but $900 is very pricey if I cannot take full advantage of its connectivity.
Guy's I would recommend Wonda Mobile, I have bought a total of 22 phones from them in 12 months and never had a single issue

This is getting exciting! I'm still a little confused about versions. Is the L29C636 the Asian version? Is this version devoid of all the Chinese features, but allows two LTE sims? Whereas the "European" version only allows one sim? Are there other differences. Anyways, please keep folks posted on how it works out. Thanks!

Yes - that's the sum of it.
You may find that you can't do OTA if you're outside Asia. I have a Mate 9 Pro - L29C636 and until very recently, I had to install updates via Funky Huawei. Huawei seem a little odd in their approach to updating - your device needs to be authorized to receive it, but if you were in the wrong region for your phone, it wouldn't update without a sim from that region.
Saying all that, my Mate 9 Pro received, for the very first time, an OTA update this week.

Ok. Hopefully the OTA situation changes with Mate 10. One more question. Do voice commands for default apps work in English using Asian version? For example, I have a Chinese version of the Mate 9. The default phone app allows voice commands to answer phone but you had to say "answer" in Chinese. It could not be made so that you could say "answer" in English. Thanks!

My understanding is that Asian version ties up to Singapore, where the default language in English. I've never encountered anything remotely Chinese on my 'Asian' version. I use Google Now, but not used voice commands per se!

Snapdragon Love Anywhere???

Last Galaxy was S6, jumped ship to iPhone 7S to please the wife, was ecstatic to go back to S9 via T-Mobile aka "Uncarrier".
I was more excited to finally go back to XDA to check the dev scene, but no love for the Snapdragon Varient? I know International aka 960/5F got the unlocked bootloader and usual Day 1 roots.... but does anybody know why the Snapdragon scene isn't active at all?
My T-Mobile S6 Edge was a breeze to root and so many amazing ROMS and Cross-Device Dev too. And that wasn't Exynos either.
Point is, I'm sure I'm not the only one and you guys arent alone out there. I'd love to see how people are enjoying their device, any dis/advantages to our international sibling, and also any tricks they're using to "poweruse" their device.
Cheers

For the record, all S6 models were Exynos. There were no snapdragon versions.

If there were any Snapdragon versions they were not in North America. The US carriers were all Exynos. I had the Verizon version and it was most definitely Exynos. They did not want to use the 810 so I am pretty sure there were no Snapdragons anywhere for the S6.

Put simply, it's because Samsung has made the S9/S9+ SD variant EXTREMELY tamper-resistant. Old methods to achieve root that worked on, say, the S7 or S8 no longer work.
As far as I know, there's only 1 dev working at it. For now, one can only be patient and see what happens.
Other than that though, it's a solid phone that I am enjoying right out of the box. And for now, there's a working hotspot mod, so that's nice as well.
Root on g9650 Hong Kong version can be achieved (see https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...comm-sm-g9650-hong-kong-china-t3764542/page27). I think nowaday there is no way to unlock bootloader of the us variant.

That's typical though, I'd be surprised if Sammy left an old exploit open in a new flagship from an old one
I wouldn't put it past em though, the latest exploits have been pretty easy lol
It's worth noting that the SM-G9600 and SM-G9650 (the non-us unlockable Snapdragon variant s9/s9+ work perfectly on both CDMA and GSM networks in the USA, making it at last a real option for Americans
i'd be happy with the ability to do carrier switching like on the s8/s8+ and note 8

I have a dual-sim SM-G9650 (Hong Kong version) and was unable to get it to connect to CDMA in the US. Worked fine for GSM/WCDMA/LTE, but couldn't connect to ANYTHING with a Page Plus/Verizon sim. Tried Hong Kong rom and also Panama rom, and couldn't do it.
Do you have any reports of someone getting a verizon sim working in this model?

Did you ever get it to work on Verizon LTE at least? I see it supports the Verizon LTE bands. I want to get this for the dual SIM. Personal phone is TMO and company is Verizon.

I think your phone must be purchased in Germany. Or at least have a German Samsung account (with German mobile phone number), then you will see the beta program in the Samsung members app I think
I will donate €10 (to his PayPal) to the first one who posts the S22+ Exynos (S906B) update.zip link
I am looking for it as well but nah , i think we won't enjoy beta on Galaxy S22 plus this year

I've already tried with a German vpn, but the beta program didn't show up. I've also tried to create a German Samsung account with a German temporary sms number from the internet, but that also didn't work. So I don't know how you can get the German beta program to show up...
Tried with German VPN, German account created from german number, and a german fake location
Even the system language is in "English (Germany)"
But nothing shows up
And even worse, Samsung Members app is in french..
I really hope some how they release it for UK in the next days and some one catches it , i tried all things aswell but nah no luck , this is 1 sign that samsung didn't sell a lot of s22 + phones

Yeah I had the same. I think your S22 must be purchased in Germany or something
So, guess we are unlucky to have the Plus...
Its been 1 week and still Samsung discriminates S22+ users HATEEEE THIS , Apple is much much better ,you can install ios 16 on any iPhone in 5 minutes
