Hi, I have also one Hong Kong variant bought by Internet.
I live in Spain and mostly of things works fine (only Samsung Pau and others small things don't work due to the different country).
I'm looking if it's possible to change the firm or CSC to another mostly European in order to have all of features available but I don't know if this is possible.
I know that GM-S9730 have Qualcomm inside and the others countries with Qualcomm are USA and Canada.
So could someone tell me if it's possible to use Spanish CSC over Hong Kong firmware or change to Canada (Multi-CSC) firmware?
Thanks in advance

Thanks @yakapa40 for your info. My question is if it's possible to change only CSC to have Spanish resources over TGY firm because I don't want to have an expensive brick...
I also updated my phone to ASC8 yesterday.

Sorry it's impossible. That model have only two CSC regions - TGY and CHC. For all other regions exept USA Samsung made S10 based on Exynos chip and it is incompatible with Qualcomm-based S10.

Can you guys who have the Hong Kong version of the S10 confirm whether there is settings in the contacts app to sort by last name & display by last name.
I'm asking because my daughter's S9 is a Hong Kong version and it doesn't have these settings

I am using the G9730 in Bulgaria and the only problem is with the Carrier Aggregation for VoLTE.

Use US contacts app

I would think US contacts app could be used to solve this issue. Surely some kindly XDA member could provide it for you.
zen123, out of curiosity, which order are your contact names displayed?

It's not issue, it's feature of the region. The programs can do nothing, the setting appears and disappears from the menu in different regions and depends on the value in the configuration files in the CSC.
As for me, I long ago changed in contacts places a surname and a name. Now I don't need this setting.

same situation in Italy. Any chance to enable at least the VOLTE functionality?
(carrier aggregation 4x4 is too complex...)

Awesome to know for the update! I checked just two or three days ago and it wasn't on samfrew.com just yet (for GM-G9750). I'm going to have to use Odin to update because I unlocked my bootloader. First time owning a Samsung and using Odin. Anyone else in the same boat?
Edit: actually, using Smart Switch does seem a lot less like a pain in the butt than Odin, so I'll do that.
Edit 2: updating via Smart Switch was super easy and didn't take very long at all. I was worried I might get a factory reset and have to restore everything, but that was not the case.
