I tried a hard reset without any SIM in the phone, but still I got the same prompt/error and couldn't launch Samsung Pay. However, I went and pulled the latest APKs of Samsung Pay and Samsung Pay Framework from APKMirror and sideloaded those, and it's now working. It even correctly detects that I'm in the US (with the old official 8.0 ROM, it thought I was in UAE). So a sideload seems to be the solution.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] StevePritchard:
Not much consolation, but it worked fine for me. Are you a proper Beta tester signed up via Samsung Members, or have you applied the update manually?

What error do you get? The download seemed to stall a little for me mid-way, but it recovered itself without me having to pause/unpause or anything.

The only thing I've noticed so far is that the Google Assistant informed me it could work with "Hey Google", and provided the opportunity to train it.

Hi all,

Apologies if I come over as presumptuous, but is anyone that's received this new beta 2 able/willing to create an update.zip.

I am on the beta program and been trying, without success, to download this new beta since I received notification of it from Samsung. However, I doubt that I'll receive the OTA for this, since I've already applied the previous beta 2 update.zip.

The folly of impatience I guess.

Hi,

Thanks for that, but maybe you didn't read my post properly before replying, or I wasn't clear enough in what I wrote.

I updated to ZSA5 (Beta 1) through the 'official' beta program. When ZSAB (1st Beta 2) was released, it wasn't available for the UK , so I applied it using the relevant update.zip.

A new Beta 2 ( ZSAE) has now been released for the UK, but since I've already applied ZSAB, I'm unable to get OTA, hence the request for an update.zip for ZSAE.

Hope that's clearer.

The ZSAE-build released in the UK, is EXACTLT the same as the ZSAB released in India.

There's NO "update.zip" ZSAB->ZSAE, because India did not receive this update.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] kxdaorbit:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] henklbr:
OK, but: there's NO WAY you can update from ZSAB to ZSAE

If you want to update to ZSAE, you need to be on:

1. ZSA5

2. Downgrade to stable Oreo-build CSA3, and update again via OTA (When downgrading, flash AP BL CP CSC_OXM -> reset is mandatory!)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ELMoro752:
You can only be in the official beta program if you registered for the beta program in the members app and live in India or UK. (International version) You then received a OTA update. If you started using the beta through flashing the update zip, you won't be able to register to be a part of the beta program as a tester. I hope this will help you to understand and clear things up for you. Good riddance!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mtouka:
Thank your for your clarifying answer. Regarding receiving upcpmings update. Does this mean that I will only get updates through update zip on my sd card and then flash it? Or I may receive update as normal? Just wondering if I have made a wrong move flashing this update zip.

Again appreciated for quick and instructive answer clearing everything out for me..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] ELMoro752:
That's correct, you will have keep flashing update zips, and won't receive any OTAs while using this beta firmware. When the official version comes out, you could wait until it's available in your region, and download it from the sammobile website, and flash it through Odin, then you would start receiving OTA updates again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] wertasd:

Maybe, but not the case this year.

I'm XEU and was able to enrol, it's probably what [MENTION=1586120]henklbr[/MENTION] alluded to, in that the program is full and now closed to new applicants.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fonix232:
That is because Samsung's registration isn't checking just the CSC you have loaded, but:

- Samsung account's registered country

- The country you're in right now (for me, while I'm in Hungary, no matter if my account is UK or Hungary, Members, Galaxy Apps, etc. all gives Hungarian content)

- Phone's serial number and default CSC

So no matter how hard you try, you can only get on the UK beta with a UK unlocked phone - or rather, a phone that was bought specifically with these defaults.

As your phone still shows the default CSC to be DBT, no matter if it's the XEU that's loaded, it won't be able to register - even if the Members app is showing UK content, and your account is UK as well..

'Pie' Device Wide Adblocking - No 3rd Party App

See below from [MENTION=3315215]vault1965[/MENTION] in the Adhell3 thread in the Note 9 forum.

I've tried it (Indian beta 2) and it works a treat. One more reason to not 'root'.

If it works for you, I suggest that you go to the thread and hit his/her 'thanks' button.

"However, for anyone that just need ad blocking and have pie on his Note, you can resolve this simply. Just go into Settings > Connections > More connection settings. You will find menu Private DNS. Activate it in Private DNS provider hostname and use dns.adguard.com

Following your logic, neither [MENTION=3315215]vault1965[/MENTION] or the reddit poster should be thanked, owing to the fact that neither of them developed it, and we should be searching for the bod at Google/Samsung or wherever, to thank.

Qq, in Camera settings, by default HDR is ON and is set to "apply when needed" , however if I change the Video resolution from the default 1920x1080 to any other resolution, the HDR settings becomes greyed out and OFF and cannot be switch to ON. The only solution is to Reset Camera settings or set back Video settings to 1920x1080. Does anybody else experience the same?

In Video settings it says that "The selected resolution doesn't support Tracking auto-focus, Video effects and HDR (rich tone)." But that does it mean that if it's because i choose UHD as Video the HDR won't apply to pictures as well?
