I am using Samsung Galaxy A13 4g, and NFC is Market/Region Dependent, so my phone dont have it because I'm in Asia, while it is only unlocked in the UK. I want to ask that if I change the model number of the device to the UK, will NFC be unlocked?
My English isnt very good, I'm sorry about that.

My carrier is Vodafone (in Portugal). If I buy a Vodafone locked cellphone from another country (let's say from the UK) will it work with my simcard or will I have to unlock it?
Simple question but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. Maybe I'm not using the right keywords! :laugh:
Mostly No. Carrier code would be different across the different countries even if the carrier is same - so you still need to unlock it to use it with Vodafone Portugal.
hello friends. i just bought J7 for US CELLULAR on ebay, i live in europe and using gsm carrier. SM-J727R4 supports all gsm bands for my carrier but is it unlocked for gsm or nor? if not, how can it be unlocked?
I bought a Galaxy J727R4 also and been trying for 2 months to get it unlocked and no one can seem to generate an unlock code no matter how much I pay
Hi,
I bought my pixel 4a in the USA last month and now that I am back to europe, I noticed that carrier aggregation is not working.
I found on google that on previous pixels, carrier aggregation only works for the region on where you bough the phone... so now, I am stuck with single band connection.
Is there any way to force enable LTE+/4G+ carrier aggregation / CA2 in Europe for an USA, unlocked model?
I don't have root... but I would root it if that means enabling that feature globally.
in Germany LTE+ is working out of the box. no root

Do you have the USA model and not the one released for EU?
And are you running Android 11?
I tried it in Portugal, UK, Spain and France on Vodafone and I couldn't get any 4G+ connectivity.
In the US I had no issues with LTE+ at all, only when I came back to europe.
eu model, android 11 stock

Resting Wi_Fi, mobile & Bluetooth...............or factory reset doesn't work I assume.
Maybe try this:

Thanks, but I am talking about using the US version in EU. The EU version will naturally work in EU.

I was hoping more for some mod perhaps.
I have checked that my phone is only connecting to one band, without aggregation.
It worked fine in the usa, but not in europe, so most likely, they lock it on the oem.
The bands are supported. I have B1,B3,B7,B20 available on my network, and they are all supported individually, but not aggregated.
It does look like the North American model is the G025J, and the European model is the G025N.
I do wonder if getting carrier aggregation working might require some special registration with the carrier though.
It doesn't require carrier registration. I have 3 sims and they all do 4g+ on my old galaxy note 8.
Pixel 3 had the same issue. They block carrier aggregation outside the region on where you bought the product, at the OEM level.
Maybe some dev knows how to unlock it on the software. I've see this for other brands.
Helllo
I live in Greece and currently my carrier doesn't support my phone for 5G.
I want to ask if I can enable it manualy by rooting my phone
Just ask yourself after thinking about that.... your PROVIDER does not support a feature you want. Does it really change anything if you do whatever change to your mobile?
Btw: OP 8T supports 5G by default. No need to root for that.
Carrier supports 5g but a stupid identification of the device doesn't let me use it
Hm.. in such case it might be possible if you can change device´s recognition to one that´s identified "correctly". I´m not sure but I assume I´ve got the same problem in Switzerland. Haven´t watched closely but I don´t remember seeing 5G in display already.
Years ago you could have changed device ID by changing build.prop. But afaik they changed that and I don´t know how to do nowadays.. Sorry, hopefully there´ll be anyone else helping you out.
If the issue is your carrier support bands that do not exist in your phones antennae then i do not believe you will find any relief with root.
Two things need to happen: 1st is that your provider's 5G bands are actively supported on the phone. 2nd is your provider needs to certify (that is allow) your phone to access 5G on their network. So then, if the bands are there then you need to contact your provider and somehow get them to allow your phone on their 5G network! I was using the 8T on AT&T and NO 5G...moved to T-Mobile and 5G was available the moment I inserted the SIM.
OP8T have 5G enabled only certain networks. In Greece not enabled by you can follow my blog guide to enable manually if you like: https://mt.ax/uLgc2 . There is also list of 5G enabled networks and bands.
I HAVE SM-S908N STC IS THERE ANY WAY TO CHANGE THE FIRMWARE AND ESIM SUPPORT PLS HELP............
Korean model - maybe look at Korean message boards with translator. Please consider a global model next time, EU models are pretty good out of the box and the US version can enable all bands.
S23 will be out in a couple months, you should be able to get a good trade in if you can wait. If not, EU with double sim and good cover of 5G bands. US model is much better in covering 5g bands, however single sim (not sure about esim)
