Vodafone -> telenor - General Topics

Hi.
Here in sweden Vodafone has been bought by the norweigan company "Telenor"..
I wonder if you could change/add it to the list of mobile operators at the profile editor?
Best Wishes

(Not related to any of the companies, just having a hard time to get used to the change myself, so I thought that it would help remind me. 8) )

We buy everything with our oil money! Next step is Drottningholm! It's closed for the takeover right now... :twisted:

Release Date HTC x7510 & Networks UK?

Hi all,
Anyone know or guesstimate for UK release for the upcoming X7510. Any ideas on which UK networks it will be released on. T-mobile I presume is a pretty safe bet on ideas on Vodafone etc?
Thanks for taking the time to read this and look forward to any info.

i heard it was going to be on orange...
id say youre right about t-mobile, but iw willl probe be silver [urgh !]
vodafone, i doubt it, they dont have many ppc's, and o2, the same, but then again, they could surprise us.
Rory
o2 were the first in this country with a windows PDA phone namely the original XDA (also made by HTC) so you never know they might get them yet.
Hi Tom,
At the moment Vodafone don't have any details regarding the release of the X7510.
I have saved this threads URL so if I do get any information in relation to the phone I will let you know.
Sorry I couldn't give you any more information.

1. Some nice HTC handset(HD, Hero, Pro 2) or Blackberry(Bold,Curve,Storm)
2. Emphasis on calls to UK. and India if possible.But UK first .
3. Handsome data connection.
Thank you in advance.

phone alternatives while traveling in europe

Hi to all. Im the proud owner of an Htc evo Fully rooted and also a treo pro both on sprint network. I'm traveling to europe in 2 weeks and unfortunately i'm pretty sure neither of theses phones will work there. Could someone point me in the direction of a cheap way to call back home and maybe even have my family call me. I'm taking my MacBook so I've considered skype or maybe fring but have never used either so I'm not 100% of their capabilities any help would be greatly appreciated. Thxs in advance
I was told about this site... is this the best deal( or even a good deal) will be visiting the Uk, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and France

Welcome to forums
Right, CDMA phones are only used in US and a few Latin American countries, the rest of the world uses GSM.
Some of CDMA devices have also the chance to insert a normal SIM card, not sure if your devices can...
If not I guess that link will save you from being connected while traveling on GSM world.

[Q] Advie taking my HTC HD2 Windows outside the UK to Europe,USA,S.E.Asia and OZ.

Hi all, I am a newbie *waves*
Got a question I can't seem to find on the internet, so I thought I would joing this forum to see if anyone can help.
I have an HTC HD2 using "Windows Mobile 6.5", on a contract, which I am going to cancel as I am well outwith my contractual agreement on the T-Mobile network in the United Kingdom.
My girlfriend and I are going travelling for a year, to numerous countries, including most of Europe, USA, Nepal, India, most of South East Asia and Australia. I am wondering if it is possible to use my HTC HD2 abroad, by unlocking from the T-Mobile network (not sure if that is the right terminology, sorry) so I can buy pay as you go Sim Cards from different networks in the countries above to keep costs down.
I was also informed that some phones do not work in certain countries because of tri-band, quad-band issues, again I am not clued up if the HTC HD2 will work in other countries, so any help on the matter would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Norman.

Active2 SM-R825U , Must I change region for Argentina ? [Solved]

Hi Friends !
Excuse me for my English but I speak very little (which makes my understanding more difficult). I speak spanish.
Short version: I´m in Argentina with an Active 2 SM-R825U (Tizen 5.5.0.2 / Build Number: R825USQU1CUD1 ) that cannot see the movil network.
Company says I should have bought SM-R825 ( without U , my fault ) but confused me saying american models. After my bought said Mexico and Canada models )
My Questions:
1- What must I specific do ? Can I fix that only changing the CSC code to ARO , MXO or XAC ?
I not finding or not knowing what combination files I must use.
Don´t match last 4 characters: https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=47818
2- I´d be interested to know if I can use SM-R820 or SM-R825 combination files or would that kill the watch ?
3- Are there any method to backup and save combination files of my watch ?
I´ve reached to establish communication between the watch and NetOdin but I´ve stopped there for not knowing the above.
From already, thank you very much ! Sincerely.... Eduardo.
Hi,
First of all, here is a list of officially supported careers: https://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/galaxy-watch-active2/carrier/
From this list you can clearly see there is no such thing as SM-R825. It's either SM-R825U (I guess this is for USA), and SM-R825F (for everything else).
Also, from here you can see there is no official support for Argentina as of now.
Now to your questions:
You can change the CSC yes. Will it work? Depends on how your career has implemented their service. Best way to find someone who did the same as you want to do. My bet: as no careers are supported officially in Argentina, you can simply use my recommended trick with the QR code, and you are good to go. No need to change the CSC. CSC change is only viable in case you can change it to that code which is officially supported. Let's say you bought a watch in Europe, and want to use it USA. It won't be able to activate, but if you change the CSC to the one USA is using, it will work.
You should NEVER use anything else then what your watch precisely is. In case you have SM-R825, you MUST use files for SM-R825. (Also: SM-R820 is Bluetooth-only version)
I have no idea.
So, basically: changing CSC won't solve your problem. People here usually change their CSC to have Blood-pressure monitoring or Samsung Pay in a country where these are not officially supported.
After changing the CSC to a supported country, these people can have the SPay working, and also the BP.
For LTE Activation, CSC change is usually overkill, especially if your target country is not officially supported.
Go with the QR code method, that's the easiest and quickest way. With that method you can activate your watch with those careers which are not officially supported.

Hi Danergo!
First of all, thank you very much for taking the time to help me.
I hope you can understand me, given my poor English (google translate helps me) ...
I saw that list looking for CSC codes but I think it is out of date. I have spoken with Samsung Argentina and they never told me that the service was not supported. I didn´t receive any information from them to help me and neither from Samsung USA. Only "you made a mistake in the purchase, so I'm sorry for you."
The only company that provides the service in Argentina is CLARO, a company owned by the mexican and one of the richest men in the world, Carlos Slim (I don't know why I haven't seen it in Mexico, but it's in several countries). I use its service in Argentina and use it in the past months for data in the USA with very good performance (associated with the T-Mobile network). I´m attaching a translated screenshot of its terms, which caused my wrong purchase). As I said, now, many days later, its technical service tells me that I should have been bought models from Mexico or Canada.
If the above was correct, you still think the same about "For LTE Activation, CSC change is usually overkill, especially if your target country is not officially supported." Because if I can't have LTE, I´d like to have BP and ECG. I don't know if I could have SPay because it isn´t implemented in Argentina. Maybe with an American card (in USA I used very well).
About "no such thing as SM-R825", I saw SM-R825 combination files in Easy Firmware https://easy-firmware.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=18298 (I don't know how that is interpreted, sorry)
Finally, I´ll tell you something so you can see how CLARO's customer service is. Yesterday, in a first call they answered me that they do not implement the activation through QR code, and after seeing the opposite in forums, in my second call, the interlocutor acknowledges that if there are any, that she leaves my request scheduled and that she will call me In the future, call that I bet will never be made.
I´ve read that only in big service centers (Rosario city, 70 km away, is the closest) do the activation by QR. I read that they don't print the code, that they take our cell phones and scan it from their pc screen. Argentina is a banana republic (but some of its people are very good). I was in Rosario in authorized Samsung service (without any improvement) but I didn´t go to the provider because I did not know that information at that time.
I´m reading https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sm-r825f-csc-change-tutorial.4061905/page-22 to learn a little more. Last post is similar to mine. I think I should and would like to make the switch to the SM-R825F, even if it's just for fun.
Well, here we are and we'll see how the story ends. I'm optimistic. Thank you again for your help to my understanding.
Have a very good weekend.

Hi @danergo !
Fortunately I just arrived from an assistance center of my mobile network provider (city 70 km from mine) where I loaded the data through QR code (they didn´t send me by email) and the watch picked up the network and it is working very well.
I'm still not sure what combination of files I´d have needed to flash it, and if they should contain inside the CSC code that I want to change, I think so but I'm not sure.
I don´t need anything else but it would be a great help if we could backup, save or upgrade (or whatever it is called) the firmwares that we have on our watches in order to share it.
Since now, I´ll working to find the movil network profile file (xml file ?).
I don´t know where are you from @danergo, but if you are in USA, it will be a pleasure to me to invite you a pair of beers ( I don´t have more budget ! ).
Thank you very much for your advice. They avoided the risk of flashing. At your service from Argentina.
Perfect, I'm happy you succeed
I would up for a beer, but I'm more a wine person, and I'm very far from the US
I don't know any methods to backup/share your firmware unfortunately.
