I just got the 1st one, but starting to think it was a bad move, I suspect the latter would've been a MUCH better fit for Australian market/conditions, especially should I want to eventually flash to a more localised ROM etc.

Also the G9550 supposedly doesn't have B28-700mhz (though not the end of the world, this isn't to be scoffed-at given the areas I frequent), but on the official product page it does, just freq-check & some other resources say it doesn't. Also seems possible that it's 2G-only on the second SIM, but I think that's unlikely.

The 2nd variant I linked above I don't think (?) has any of these issues, plus it uses the same basic SoC as the Aussie & Int. variants.

Any thoughts and advice on this, are very much appreciated... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Definitely the second one.

You get the Australian CSC as soon as you pop your SIM in, software updates on time, better LTE band and carrier aggregation (LTE-A) support, more devs have the Exynos variants compared to the SD835 variant and the FD model allows 4G on SIM Slot 1, and 3G/2G on SIM Slot 2, unlike some phones which only allow 2G on Slot 2.

Sigh, I suspect my importer's going to claim they can't get it, & I'll be forced to just wear the one I have, OR pay a hefty restocking fee, BUT be without both. >.>

Late this arvo they messaged their HK-based partner &or parent co. (not sure of exact arrangements) called MyMobile (in Oz was formerly known as UniqueMobiles, but they've taken up the MM branding/naming).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jalyst:
Sigh, what to do, what to do... Ugh...
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jalyst:
Given how things have evolved/progressed in my interactions with them so far;

I don't think they'll be reasonable with regards to any extra costs/penalties.

Especially

if MyMobile HK claims it can't obtain the SM-G955FZKGINS SKU.

They'll prolly try to hit me with a 25% restocking fee...

If they do & they refuse to budge, I'll just wear it & never buy from them again.

I've kept everything in pristine condition, as much as can be, the main box had already been opened anyway!*

Then I'll need to find someone who

can

import it, or who's willing to "export".

I would greatly prefer a well-established & locally-based importer though.

One that has a presence, & ideally even a SC, in South East Queensland.

*the phone had already been turned-on and setup/configured, had to factory reset it so I could go through the normal setup process, but 1st had to work out how the heck to change the UI from Chinese to English, as it was almost impossible to navigate before that!

Murtaza/Anyone? Thank-you/GN.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Apologies for not seeing this. Mention/quote me next time so I get a notification.

I'm not surprised it's hard for importers or anyone to get their hands on that particular variant since it's literally only being sold in India.

There's 2 things you can do, neither are easy.

1) Ask if Flipkart will ship to you in Australia and then find out if any customs duties or taxes will apply if you import a phone yourself.

2) Wait for Samsung to release the 6GB/128GB variant elsewhere.

The Pearl Black S7 edge with 128GB of storage was only launched in China and Korea first, and then it made its way to the rest of the world including Pakistan with the G935FD model number which worked everywhere.

F5king site, had a lengthy post typed-up & it lost it!!!! CBF'd typing it all up again;

Will just say some progress is being made, tis a case 3 steps forward & 2 steps back.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Great, will you be returning the G9550 then?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jalyst:
Yeah, pricks are gunna hit me w.a 20% restocking fee, didn't have time today, will likely drop it in tomm, everything's in pristine condition, there better not be any hidden "gotchas"! I also paid $70AUD for an extended warranty service, they better not try & charge the 20% with that included in the total cost, & I expect to be FULLY refunded that $70, the phone itself was $1068 AUD, so the 20% fee should be applied

only

against that.

The explanation was vague/brief, but it sounds like their people in HK just don't want to get it as a once-off, generally they only like to procure these things if they're being bought in bulk. Personally think they're stupid trying to sell the G9550xxx as their 128GB option (they've sold FAR more G955FD SKU's), this 128GB variant would do

much

better with enthusiasts in Australia, but they've just ignored that line of thinking.

1GrandTrunk is the 1st mob I approached (geezus they took their sweet time, about 6hrs before I got this, & 2 chase-up calls, 3 in total),

I won't go through with it tonight, I'll wait till tomm. morn, to see if I get feedback from others I emailed after 1GrandTrunk.

I may also call them (& a few others) tomm. morn... Does 1GrandTrunk look legit/credible IYO?

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
Considering they've given you such a detailed breakdown of the fees, I guess they're legit.

Could you send me the links of the other importers you contacted?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] jalyst:
[MENTION=5063250]murtaza02[/MENTION]

Mainly reaching out to folks I found in this search: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=indian+mail+forwarding+service

1GrandTrunk aren't even one of the top hits in that search, they were buried in a Qora discussion (which was one of the top hits)!

Going to bed ASAP, had waaay too many very late nights lately, time to break the bad sleeping habits/cycles & get up very early (for me) for a change. I worked odd hours for many years, so I've kept those bad patterns since starting my own business, in some ways I suspect that's just my natural circadian rhythm (we all have very different ones). Alas, mine seems to be one that the majority of people don't have, & that's not good for "living in the real world", so, time to change them! Grumble grumble.

[MENTION=5063250]murtaza02[/MENTION]

Just realised, the total cost in AUD is insane,

even before

all the other expenses, the cost of

just

the phone is $1524 AUD!

You can get the G9550 in Oz for about $500 less than that, perhaps even 550, & the 64GB G955Fxxx SKU's are much cheaper than the G9550xxx's.

I got my G9550xxx for $1068, but I had some other stipulations/requirements, else I could've easily gotten it for ~$50 cheaper.

I'm not even sure what some of those extra expenses they've listed are for, will have to ask them in the morn, ugh, this is a "no go" I think! :-S

With the starting price so high, it doesn't matter which one of these guys I go with, I don't think it's going to be worth it???

Sigh, will have to call MyMobile & tell them I want to keep this G9550 now, maybe I'll still return it & just buy a 64+4GB dual-SIM G955Fxxx from them.

Hopefully they'll ditch the the bloody restocking fee if I do that, if they won't, then there's no way I'll buy it from them!!!

Bedtime/GN
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] MeltdownSpectre:
That sucks man. I guess getting the 64GB G955FD will be better and then in the future if Samsung decides to launch the 6/128 variant outside India, you can always trade yours in for that variant.

Oneplus 5 has Bluetooth 5.0 same as Samsung Galaxy S8. That means technically it should be able connect to two Bluetooth devices at a time. But it doesn't seem to work. Does it work for anyone here?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] flaviopereira:
Android Nougat still doesnt support that feature, only samsung.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Uzumaki:
Isn't there a way to do it? An app or some root tweaks?
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] flaviopereira:
Not that i know of, guess we'll have to wait for Android O.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] B3501:
No, Bluetooth 5 needs to be activated in Android and it will be in Android O. You'll have to wait for O.
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] Uzumaki:
Is this feature included in Android O preview? I hope Android O gets this feature
[OnePlus 5 Questions & Answers] JimKnopf13:
I think you have to wait for Android O.

Only when I am using my Bose Headphones with the Bose Connect App - it is possible. (But therefore you don't need Bluetooth 5)

I think you are using some antivirus on your computer. Disable its on access scanner while updating the ROM. Some they catch some batch files present in ROM as a threat and deletes them as soon as they created. That's why your PDA is not able to complete it all steps.

Hey guys,

I bought the Samsung S8+ in Germany, O2. I was hoping to be able to use Samsung Pay or android pay. All the other Samsungs I've had they come with Samsung Pay already, just to swipe up and it appears, with this one I don't have it. I tried to download in the play store and says ain't available for my country. The problem is I know it's available I just can't get it... I even downloaded the apk and installed it and when was on the setup says "can't read Sim card" and automatically closes. When I enter again says it can't connect to the server ( I'm using wifi and tried with data also)

Anyone knows how can I use Samsung Pay on S8? Kinda sad I payed so much for a cellphone and one of the features I was looking forward I can't use it =(

No detection, so the thing's completely inert when plugged in?

When I plugged in my Note to my 3.0 USB laptop, out comes 'Device not recognised' in the taskbar, and that's it. However, it all works well when I plug it to a computer with USB 2.0 running XP/7. A brief search shows something about incompatible default/microsoft's driver with old(er) devices on USB 3.0.

As you've mentioned several attempts above including a hardware change, I believe the problem lies with software somewhere.

Hi !

On my Samsung S5 dual sim (rooted) running marshmallow, I would like to authorize any application to write to external sd card (even it's not too secure).

In "/system/etc/permissions", I don't find

"WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission". Is it possible to add:

<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >

<group gid="sdcard_rw" />

<group gid="media_rw" />

To authorize any application to write on external sd card ?

Hi, So i just rooted my phone and installed a debloated stock Rom. I have SuperSU, I do not have Magisk.

Can anyone point me to the steps necessary to pass SafetyNet? I can not install Netflix or Super Mario Run.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EasyAndroidPro:
flash magisk > install magisk manager > enable magisk hide and core only mode > reboot

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/official-magisk-v7-universal-systemless-t3473445

Or you could flash superstock rom and debloat it to your liking with its built in Aroma installer.. Also magisk will be an option in there too to be pre-installed.

all you have to do is enable magisk hide or if you have trouble enable magisk core only mode

safteynet related apps are automatically handled by magisk and are not needed to be selected in magisk hide
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fBx:
I have superstock installed but I did not install Magisk. Can I do this now without wiping / Re flashing? Just by installing Magisk and doing what you state?

I have installed Magisk but cannot find how to root with magisksu. If I deactivate supersu I can not do anything with Magisk. If I activate supersu I cannot find magisksu or the hide functions.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fBx:
I believe the problem is I prerooted with supersu. I think this has to be fixed by unsu.zip, removing Magisk again, flashing the boot img from my Rom without root, then flashing Magisk again. Could that lead to magisksu?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] EasyAndroidPro:
you need to have the Magisk Manager app installed that will help you control root
