I have a Italian phone (TIM Branded), but I'm in the United States. I've tried 2 gold cards to try and do the TW Sense UI update, neither worked. I'd seen some posts about TIM getting the official Sense UI update in mid November. Anyone know when this might happen?
As this week ends I guess the hope of a mid November update comes to an end. I sure wish HTC would get this update released in Europe.

does anyone think it sounds fishy.. if you check on samsung firmware site every other i9000 has froyo update. including african/arabic.. why no north american? I am begining to wonder if it is they know that the newer froyo hastens the bringing to light the defective memory in our phones, and are witholding it for this reason.
The GT-i9000m is a Bell phone, and the firmware will probably be released once Bell tests it and adds their own branding and software.
Its just like down here in AU. Samsung don't release the firmware. Optus will take the firmware, modify it, test it, send it back to Samsung for distribution.
their are more places that don't have 2.2 then that do... so I don't know why you think its fishy...
Agreed, all firmware releases are by the individual carriers who all have their own quality control standards and network testing to conduct. Froyo seems to be progressively being released from East to West so I would expect North American carriers to be amongst the last to officially release. Another thing of consideration is the fact of their being almost all of the Galaxy S variants being carried on Canadian and US carriers.

Other than the software maybe working better with the m modem there will be nothing new or worth having over some of the current cooked roms. Even then, give it a couple weeks and we will use a cooked rom with that modem and all will be just fantastic. Dont see any reason right now to get worked up over froyo delivery schedules.

Hey guys,
Got a few questions here.
1) Does anyone have any information on Vodafone Australia Froyo release? I have heard that Vodafone UK have already released theirs but I haven't heard anything for down under.
2) I have heard that I could update my carrier to be Vodafone UK rather than AU. Does anyone know how I could do this?
Appreciate the help guys.
Nah I dunno, I'm also an Aus Legend user
I've spoken to Vodafone Support about the Froyo update for Aus, and they said they didnt know but would let us know when they had information. So pretty typical response really.
As far as your second question, it doesn't really make sense. Do you mean change your ROM to be the Vodafone UK Froyo 2.2 release?
Nevermind...

Yeh sorry i was really tired when i wrote the thread couldn't think of the right words...lol
I ask this question because i spoke with a Vodafone representative and he told me that he had switched his ROM to Vodafone UK because they release updates quicker than Australia, he actually recommended that I do this as well.
I seriously hate Vodafone Australia they are the worst company i have ever dealt with, the less i have to do with them the better.
What are the steps/risks involved changing the ROM?
I would be interested to know this also, I imagine you would need to root your phone however which is somewhat less than simple.
Also, vodafone are only terrible if you don't take into account the competition. There really aren't any good carriers here.
Hi does anyone know whether we will be able to buy the 4G version that isn't going to be locked into a particular carrier?
Just I am in the Philippines and they are generally about the last country in the world to get things like this - so i would have to wait until September or 1Q 2012 before i could buy it here...
Also can a carrier locked version be unlocked at all?
Thanks in advance
The only carrier version that has been announced so far is for Verizon, expected to come out in July with LTE. No other information has been released
I bought my S8 few weeks ago and it is still stuck on Nougat with December security updates. It is Polish distribution and from what I heard they are getting Oreo for a few days now, but mine still nothing. Not even newer security updates. Is it possible that my updates are somehow blocked if I don't use phone in Poland?
It could be worse, you could be with EE in the UK who are famed for being one of the slowest operators in the world when it comes to software updates.

Hi!
Just won a Canadian Galaxy Tab A (2017) SM-T380 at my job's Holiday party. I'm a bit displeased to see that it comes preloaded with 7.1.1 Nougat, a bit more displeased to see that no Canadian upgrade to Oreo exist, and much more displeased that the latest patch updates are dated January 1st, 2018 -- practically a year ago. Having no update/upgrade available from OTA, I went to SamMobile to see if a newer ROM was available, and found that some region did receive an upgrade to Oreo 8.1, with the Singapore and Korean variants having received security patch up to November 1st, 2018 and most European countries up to September 1st, 2018. Not so much love for North America...
Though I'm pretty sure I can flash another region's ROM on my Canadian tablet, as in the end they all share the same SM-T380 base, I'm wondering what are the differences between countries builds? I mean:
- Are the differences only limited to different base settings?
- Or are some capacities enabled in some countries, but disabled in some others (i.e. languages, keyboards not included, etc.)?
- Or (worse) does various countries ROMs include additional bloatwares bundled softwares?
- And could a specific country variant include, say, some mechanism to collect user data while another one would not have it?
What are the differences between a Canadian ROM and a Singapore ROM?
Oooooookay, litterally a day after I post my question above, I go back to SamMobile, and there's an Oreo 8.1 upgrade for the Canadian region variant. Pretty nice!
Still, my question would stay, I'm intrigued about the variations between regions.

Us Canadians ALWAYS are last to receive updates, it seems like.... Probably because our government makes sure to keep us censored and oblivious to what the hell is really going on with the rest of the world.

LOL quite like the description. Though I believe it's Samsung's policy, don't know why -- because I also have a OnePlus phone, and Canada is one of it's test market when updates are released. Samsung devices are obviously more common than OnePlus', though.
Still, I'm still wondering what is present or absent from a Singapore ROM that is not part of the Canadian ROM...
