Just got update sms from orange UK

Great news. In the next few weeks there'll be a software update available for your Sony Ericsson X10. For more information go to orange.co.uk/helpx10
That was via text. A bit useless but thought I should report it anyway.

yeah just got that aswell. im already on 2.1 with noric FW lol working fine

Really? Any feedback on that? I'm a bit jaded from my windows mobile days where doing that causes problems. I would go as far to say that my phone is mission critical because it is how my customers contact me etc... but I suppose this is an official ROM. Am I being illogical for waiting for my operators update?
Feedback much appreciated

No problems what so ever, a[[art from random reboots but ive always had that hoped it was a sofwtare issue but now its going for repair seems to be bad batch of ram.
Dont think its actually aby diffrent than any other rom just released in another country first lol

yea i got this txt too but im already on 2.1 nordic

Please discuss any 2.1 topic in the 2.1 thread

Sent from my Rooted Vibrant with the Nero V3 ROM (Froyo 2.2), Swipe & the VooDoo Lag-Fix

My sister just got the vibrant from VMC a few days ago it came with 2.2 from the first boot.
Came to the vibrant forum because the back key sometimes doesn't work. It doesn't illuminate or work at all at times. Some cases it stays off for 25 seconds or so. Highly annoying.

ok, i'm starting to believe this update has to do with the everything against the USA. No love, no help. I mean every country is getting this stupid update but the US market. im sure place like botswana, africa got that **** already.
Samsung, **** you!

Did you guys go to the link? The second option there says:
Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate 3G+ SGH-T959.
Now, isn't our T-Mobile Vibrant model number exactly SGH-T959? Isn't the "T" in "T959" meant for T-mobile branded phones only? Someone please shed some light on this matter. Ha.

my phone started having the same issue a few days ago ,i tried jl5 but heptic feedback still doesnt work right so i flashed back to j16 via mini kies.. after the kies flashing the back key would vibrate and still worked but the light didnt work at times or sometimes it wouldnt vibrate at all and just wouldnt work... i fixed it by reflashing again via mini kies, i think i had a bad flash hence the issue..
maybe i should get a replacement now to get the official 2.2? .. no ill just wait..

was just about to order the vibrant through T-mobile and seeing as how some people are getting Froyo already installed on their devices do you think it would be safe to wait until a US release is confirmed? or would updating when it is released be a better option?

new update via OTA

I got this update this morning via OTA.
XWKI1
Android version2.3.4
XWKI1

lolololololol

What firmware were you on before?

try plugging in to kies to see what it says?

XXKF3
If you could remember i was on this Dummy update so i decided to go back to xxkf3 this morning . Immediately after installing through odin i checked for update via OTA and i got this

Nothing here,i run KE7 2.3.3

Has anyone else got it ?

Somehow you have ended up with a test phone i reckon .
jje

You mean the phone i bought from very.co.uk for 600pounds with my own money should be a test phone.

You are lucky, on the Sensation forums there was a guy who bought a Sensation and got by accident an eng off, rooted phone whilst the rest of the world was stuck with a locked bootloader.
I guess for devs your phone could be worth more than what you paid for it

Well maybe am lucky. I was wondering really why i get the update before everybody. The last time was xxkh5 which samsung manage to change to a dummy update. But this time i have learnt my leason .

what provider you you have? csc?

Do a system dump of the firmware!!!!
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

We think that these updates are only meant for Samsung staff and some how your phone got added to the list of test phones -- it explains why you and nobody else gets them.
My guess this happen because you installed a leaked firmware from samfirmware.com. Remember these leaked firmware could be test builds for internal staff use only. May be something happened on this leaked firmware that got your phone added to the list of staff test phones.
Are there any new great and wonderful features you can see in this update? (It could be months and months before they release any updates for the rest of us!)

Tweet from Samfirmware.com: First roms with Android 2.3.5 for Galaxy S II will be online this month.
Robbielicious has got the leaked firmware, but it's not yet ready for release: "in my possesiosn but in my believe not worthy o releasing just yet"
Darky's crew are now working with Samfirmware.com (i9000 version released about an hour ago) so I imagine the i9100 version will be released as soon as it is ready.

The ki1 update
The update is quiet good. The new goodies on the update are something
1. on the top where the 3g is , we have h+ and R . It really helps me a lot because formally when i visit our basement at my working place i normally lost connection. after i have to reboot my phone but in this case no more rebooting. The batterie life is very amaizing. Internet super fast.
Thanks samsung for the great work done.

What a joke dude!

ICS just around the corner and GB is STILL not out!

Hopefully it will come with a new radio which can sort out my random battery drain problems.
Despite trying various radios, my battery seems to lose 3%+ per hour when sleeping so with very light use, a charge only lasts a little over 24 hours. I can only assume the problem is the radio as running Watchdog doesn't indicate that there are any rogue apps. I've tried recalibrating the battery to no end either.
As a matter of interest, which radio are other UK users trying at present? I'm currently on 1.77.30.

Exactly, ICS will be out for AT&T before we even get GB here in the UK. I reckon it could be a while yet as our respective service providers have to add all of their bloatware to it.

I haven't got a branded atrix so that shouldn't be a problem for me. But I don't know what I'm doing yet. Because if I restore my stock atrix I could potentially lose root and my unlocked bootloader. Meh the decision .....android is a God damn disease.....must have the new update!!!!! Lol
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

To be fair Orange dosent appear to have overly bloated it (for a change) Orange Wednesday and an account checker, however seeing as that is available on the market I cant see why it would be an issue, the only other thing I can see is the addition of AP's etc, but again that should all be automatic anyways.......
Orange always claim they need to test it with their network etc but I recon 2 or 3 weeks after it's released we ought to get it *he hopes*

i find it puzzling that the milestone 2 which is older than the atrix is getting the gb update at the same time. Great news for both of our communities. But time and time again...what the hell are Motorola doing with all there time???? lol

I put a question to Motorola via the facebooks, and they said the update will come out at the same time for orange / t-mobile branded phones as it does for unbranded phones.
Of course given the delays to date I suspect the mid-November date will slip, but we shall see

I've got a Tmobile UK Atrix which I've rooted , unlocked the bootloader etc....
Is it possible to get this phone back to a state where it can be upgraded or will I need to wait until somebody does their magic and creates a CWM image to flash?
I'm really unsure how this works as I've seen many warnings about NOT reverting to Froyo if running GB.
Has anyone tried this?

I'll believe it when see it -Moto talk a lot a Kak.
Roll on the Nexus & I can dump the Atrix

If it's a gingerbread rom flashed through recovery you should be fine. Its just the SBF file to be wary of. If you've flashed a gingerbread SBF don't flash a froyo SBF. or you will get a hard brick.

For sure you will loose Root access but you can get it again under Gingerbread.
Regarding the Bootloader I believe that it's a little bit different and I guess when you have unlocked it you can't go back!
If someone more confident can confirm?

Yeah probably. But it's not a huge issue rooting and about the bootloader. I wouldnt of thought it would touch it. But knowing Motorola they will screw us over. Lol

FYI:
Retail update has been released today in the UK, and (if Motorola are to be believed) T-Mobile UK and Orange UK updates will be released within a week.
OTA servers are apparently running behind but updates can be updated using Motorola's Software Update software.
https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/512793#512793

with luck Orange will have a working copy of "Your Orange" this time too....bloody thing tells me to update then I get "Package not signed" and their CS department are hopeless
Next week is better late than never I suppose

Orange UK update released via Motorola Software Update tool (v45.31.0)
I'm updating now..

Thanks for the heads up - I've just updated my sons Atrix & all went OK.
Seems to run fine on GB 2.3.4 although only tried for an hour or so as it's gone back in the box ready for Xmas

After all of this I have decided to sell my atrix....even bought a play and work kit. But its just not doing it for me. Lol
I appreciate everything all the developers do. But the forums just seem so quiet, even compared to my old desire, that forum is s**t hot still. LOL. It is a shame though as this phone had some amazing potential.

I know how you feel. The Atrix forum, I felt, was never the most helpful of places. When I had my htc DHD, that forum was much more helpful.
Anyhow onwards & upwards - My Nexus came the other day so my Atrix is gather dust, probably chuck it in the bin shortly.

Official ICS for UK and Ireland GT-P6800

All good things come to those that wait. Get it via Kies,
This is ICS not JB before anyone gets excited.

Congratulation Guys, enjoy it.
and soon We all going to enjoy Jelly bean also:highfive:

Sv: Official ICS for UK and Ireland GT-P6800
It came for the Nordic countries as well today (NEE).
Swiftly written with magic flow

Finally! What took them so long!? I might take my 7.7 device off the second hand market if this is any good!
Edit: but where the heck is it? Not available via ota or kies for me.
Currently interchangeably using HTC One, BBZ10 and Note 2

Actually, ICS isn't all that bad.

Haven't been in this forum in awhile. Last I read, the initial official ICS upgrades were buggy, esp with wifi issues. Is this UK version solid? Any known issues? Thanks!

I was full of anticipation when I read the op message, but. STILL, no official update available for P6800. Why is it that since purchasing this device over one year ago, I have not had ONE official ota update for my SIM free, unrooted UK p6800? Neither can I update via Kies! I still have gingerbread for gods sake! Am I the only one in UK with this frustration?

your device might not be Uk origin... it might be import from HK or other countries... so Kies OTA wont work... dont wait any longer... just download the firmware and flash using odin... all the tutorial are here... its as simple as follow it... and you'll have JB (although currently only SEA region release)

You probably mean Honeycomb. The P6800 has never had Gingerbread.
The best choice for any Samsung device is to upgrade using Odin (or Mobile Odin). Kies is seriously bad (iTunes-level bad), and the OTA never worked for me except for minor updates. You can be on Jelly Bean for your P6800 right now, if you want to.

Thank you for the correction, I meant to say 'honeycomb'. Relieved to hear someone else has had the ota issue. I bought this thing in carphone warehouse UK. Would have thought it was a British model and would get official updates. Anyway, will take your advice and think about upgrade via Odin. Been too long now on basic software
