I've been using my rooted airtel HTC Magic in Chennai India for about 2 months now and installed the beta market enabler and enabled a "faker" to make the paid applications show up. Now I'm headed back to the states for awhile. Are there any changes I need to make to the beta version of Market Enabler when I cross international boundaries like back to the US? It all works pretty well now here in Chennai and the paid applications show up with the beta version of Market Enabler.
Thanks.

Everything should work the same when in the states. If you end up getting a US sim card/provider, you can just reboot and it will remove any changes made by market enabler.
Hello, I'm from Pakistan and I was wondering a few things:
1- What if your region is not supported by the market place? There really is no way for me to know other than when I have bought the phone. So if the marketplace is not supported, I wont be able to download the apps? And if I will be, what about paid apps? If the market place does not support Pakistan for paid apps, is there any other way to get them?
2- Are updates region specific? The phones we get here are factory unlocked direct from HTC or Samsung. So will I get the NoDo update even if this region might not be officially supported?

First question... If you want to know of your country is suported go to the zune site and try to change you region and see the ones avaidable..
Well now that you know, you can download, but not buy... Unless you create a new Live account (and using it on the phone as primary) for exemple saying your from the US and them having an ''American'' credit card... American Express cards seem to be working in other countries... Other way to get only through piracy.. So no help there...
As for the updates... They are not region specific... Only some carriers are blocking them... The if yours is unlocked, no problem...
well I just saw and Pakistan is not supported. So if I select USA as my country, I will need a credit from someone who lives in USA for it to work?
Other than paid apps, I will be able to download free apps no problem right?

Right...
And yes free apps you can download without a problem...
Thanks. What about websites like windowsphoneapplist.com? Can I use these to buy applications? It doesnt look like a region specific website
Those sites do not sell apps, they just redirect you to marketplace.
The omnia 7 available here in Pakistan was on T-mobile UK and now unlocked for the rest of the world. I wont get any troubles getting updates on this right? or i'll get them when T-mobile in UK releases them?

Re-flash a non-specific firmware. You won't have to worry about when T-mobile authorises the update then, you'll get it as soon as MS release it.

Depending on where you live, the modem may work well, or just be bad. For me in Australia, most Chinese models work well, but certain bands are missing so reception isn't as good.
(Speaking from using Xiaomi & Huawei; Never tested Samsung Chinese models anywhere out of China)
Also, Most signs of Google will be gone. Google doesn't work in China and subsequently, most (if not, all) Chinese Models of Phones are missing Gapps (Google Apps)
Others are minor (like boot logos) which i don't think most people will mind.
Hope this helped!
thats why I need someone with this phone to help me

Hi , i have the chinese model as well ( SM-G9350 ) , i can not confirm that there is only chinese and englsh , i have full language support for all countrys.
About Google Play Store, i flashed the phone with Hong Kong firmware from "sammobile.com" and now i have the complete HK firmware including all Google Services
No google play, it's more expensive, and it's loaded with crap chinese software that you can't remove. Sorry for the late reply.

how? I tried everything and it doesn't work..
I'm in UK too but I can't get it to work, is it because I bought it from O2 with contract? Do know know if they still lock their phones?

I connected to Russia via a VPN.
Then did update check - found the update and applied it (whilst disconnected from VPN)
I'm also on O2 but brought the device sim free and not via O2
These days O2 do not lock phones (and for those that are locked they generally give free unlock codes)

I tried the same thing but no luck, maybe it's because O2 deals with the update and not Oppo, being bought on a contract.
Do you have the option to change your region in settings? I can only change the language.

Mate...use URBAN VPN from Play Store.
Open it. Select India. Leave it running until data starts coming through.
Go to Settings>>>Software Update
Done. No need to change your phone's region or language.
I'm in UK and did it this way to update to c.28

mine is the 5g version and I think it's carrier exclusive type of stuff, because even in the build number it's CPH1921 O2 A.21.
I had phones from them a long time but I thought they were done with those custom software put on top.
last phone I had from them was the OnePlus 5T and usually there was no delay with software updates

Yeah...looks like it could be carrier specific if it has O2 in the firmware name. I assume there are O2 apps preinstalled?

I was thinking...if the device could somehow pickup the latest global non-O2 version, you may be able to update better from there.
However...if the device us locked to O2 you won't be able to.
To check locking to carrier...try another carrier SIM if you can

It works with other sim, and I tried wifi update through recovery but nothing.
I downloaded the lastest version available here:
https://oppo-uk.custhelp.com/app/software_update_detail/p_name/Reno 5G
I did manage to install it through recovery but it seems it's only the May security patch

It's all that's available then at the moment.
Not sure if any other 5G user has managed an update.
Hang in there dude! I'm sure one will be along soon
Any one know if the global ROM support call recording out of the box? Really need that feature.
Also if it has it and I flash it, will the global ROM support all 3g,4g,5g bands as the EU ROM do?

Mine doesn't (Sweden) and when I run the abd command to enable it, it works but then it incorporates new bugs, like hides the comment section in instagram when replying etc so you can't see what your typing, also in other apps it hides the text box when typing so your typing in blind.
So anyone with any, I mean ANY SOLUTION please let me know, thanks :good:
It was not active on my phone as well(Greece) but I'm rooted so I just installed the Magisk module.
Have u checked this thread? There're are several ways for rooted and non-rooted devices(compatible with 8/8 Pro)

What's your model mate,?
It's plausible that your carrier didn't want you to have that feature.
I know certain locations at restrictions on certain functions.
For example; in Australia you need to keep the audio turned on when taking a picture, apparently it was restricted so you couldn't turn it off.
Not sure about now but that's where my money is.
Might be worth simply flashing a normal EU firmware, the same as my one and i cannot see why it wouldn't work..
Post your about phone screen. Obviously hide your IMEI / number if it's on that screen (shouldn't be there but just in case)
I do have the EU phone but I'm in the UK, so could be an EU thing not UK.
Let's see what your model / variant is and we'll go from there

Did you get your phone from a provider or straight from OnePlus?
Is it's the provider then it's down to them I'd say..
Flashing a firmware may fix it. Downloading a full update from oxygen update may do the job.
Beyond that I'm not sure pal.

Got it from a regular store, so it's a retail OnePlus model not branded.
To my knowledge the operator decides if it's available or not, unfortunately. No call recording with any operator in sweden (I've tried). I use the magisk module (oos native call recorder enabler), been using it on op6, 6t and now op8 pro. No issues.
Edit: it even works on oos11 DP3...

Got mine from 3 UK on a 24 month, not locked to any network.
3 were the only network in the UK to get this phone.
They don't tend to mess with features like EE have in the past and although id prefer the EE network for speed and stability, 3 haven't actually been that bad, their 5G hasn't been great though, I don't have 5G on at all.. as it's not been worth the battery hit. 4G usually gives me around 100Mb whereas EE was around 275Mb in the same location (my house)

Well personally I'll never buy another Sammy again, least not until they start allowing Qualcomm to provide all SOC's, the difference is night and day between the Exynos and Snapdragon.
I had the ultra on order and it didn't arrive for so long so when I saw the 8 Pro I switched, after looking at the problems that chip caused I'm glad I did..
I'm sure there should be a call recording feature you can install.
