Interest new info about vibrant 4g

just want to let you guys know my cousin and i went in to a t mobile store to speak to a rep about the vibrant 4g. we wanted to know if it would be worth exchanging our old vibrant for the new ones. he stated that there is not a lot of hard ward difference was just the FFC and that's it. the software change only being froyo. he said if it were him he wouldn't switch. He also said the official update for froyo was actually released through kies about 10 days ago. i wasn't aware of this just though i would share.

The differences b/w the two include:
4G radio in SGS 4G
16GB internal SD card on the Vibrant
FFC on SGS 4G
2.2.1 on SGS 4G from the get go
SGS 4G comes with Inception movie as a multimedia feature on included 16GB external SD card.

Also nfc, right?

[Q] 3.2 update for 3g users

Anyone have a clue as to when 3G Xooms will get their update?

Late summer is what I got. And it may have to be done with the lte upgrade. Which sucks.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App

It will come as soon as Verizon f's it up enough.

The real answer is that nobody knows outside Google/Verizon/Motorola, and they're not going to announce until right before rollout.

I check regardless

Is there any actual evidence of this? From what I gathered, a couple of people just made blind assumptions about this and it started rolling from there. I have never heard of an update having to be done physically by a carrier or oem, and it just seems like a bad idea. I can guarantee that not everyone will be sending in their Xoom for the 4g upgrade as well. This just doesn't make any sense to me. I'm not aiming this at you, or calling you out personally, but this just seems highly unlikely to me and I won't be too happy if it is true, and wanted to know if there was any reason to give this rumor any merit, or if it can be brushed off.

The sd card works good under root. I have no real use for 4g on my tablet. I really hate sending this thing off. Plus I use wifi as my primary data source. Data is backup if I need it.

It especially doesn't make any sense considering that many Xooms (like my own) are encrypted, and the tech couldn't even boot fully to test the update.

If your encrypted how are they going to test that the 4g module is working in your xoom?

In the verizon xoom upgrade "getting ready guide", they tell you you can optionally encrypt your Xoom before sending it in. I imagine they will be able to boot into the os, just like a fresh ROM. So I'm sure they will be able to test 4g, as well as the software update. But I still highly doubt this is how the update will be done. Guess I've seen both carriers & oem's do dumber things, I just hope it's not the case! I expect an ota just like every other update.

You expect them to test? Most likely this will be an assembly line function. Any required updates will occur either on next boot with connection, or be installed via some kind of assembly line flash similar to first assembly, needing to be completed by user on first boot. It makes more sense for the update to be in 2 parts, with os update plus introduction of software, then the hardware change out.
Having a tech man handle each device for software, is too expensive and risky. I personally expect to see email saying backup your data, because a wipe will be required

I'd imagine they don't need to. The module has been QA tested, and it's a simple matter of plugging it into a mini-PCI slot.

Well if the design is as I'm thinking the 2 are seperate. I rooted and found I have not lost my Google movies and have just gain SD support. Funny how the stock root works fine, but yet others have lost wifi, market stuff, etc. I am going to request the module be shipped to me. I can't afford to be down 7 days for that. I will be more than happy to sign a waiver to release moto if I screw up. In fact they are going to get more support from me anyway. My wife loves the fact that my xoom is performing so well. Now I have to by her one! And she hates moto. This has been the best work/play device for me yet!

Team Tiamat to the Rescue
Tiamat 2.0 (Manta Ray) was released last night and includes their custom version of HC 3.2 and 3G support. If you are already rooted and can't wait for Google and Motoroal and feedback so far is pretty good. I am a wifi only user so I am only reporting what I have read.

I'd thank you if I could. Any additional support to the VZW tab like this is long overdue and very much appreciated

Shoot, I'm not doing anything special, I just have to live without my tab for a week.
P3Droid is going all the work, I am hoping to get my tab shipped out to him today if he responds to my email.
he was supposed to send me a shipping label yesterday but I didn't hear from him.

This is awesome keep us posted I tried to get a hold of him on twitter but he didn't respond. Would love to have some GB

I hope Droid3 comes through, but if he doesn't you can always use the Sprint Rooted GB instead. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1161033
I'm currently using this on my VZW and it's great so far. Although the 3g does not work if you are using a data plan.

Any update on being able to ship out your tab?

Atrix HD? Or else?

As other users commented on my thread, it's only cancelled for the Canadian version of O2X. There's still a hope for us Atrix users. And why would you change your phone because you're not getting a software update?
Sent from that Atrix.

All we need is ONE version of ICS to get released, and we are all set.
It's still on par to get released sometime in the 3rd quarter, and last time I checked we're still I'm the 3rd quarter...

Phones don't suddenly stop working if you don't get some future update...
Also, it saves you money to keep it and nobody has canceled anything yet. We have an official statement saying Q3 for the Atrix's ICS update. We then have lots of speculation based on many things regarding it. So let's at least try to stick with Motorola here until they've actually not delivered on their promise.

I'm hoping there will be a new Nexus phone around the end of this year when I am finally able to upgrade. Otherwise, SGS3.

Exactly right. I've never understood this "ZOMG, no updates, must change phone now!!1!11!! eleventy !!1!11!!" logic from supposedly intelligent people. If your phone is very old, sure, I can see upgrading, but a phone that's not even two years old and has what's currently the most prolific version of Android available (Gingerbread)? A phone that, in many ways, still kicks the crap out of most (not all, but most) phones currently in the market? All because it doesn't have a version of Android that, based on what I've seen, has more than a few significant issues on many devices, issues that have been largely resolved with Jellybean (shades of every-other-Windows-release-is-crap syndrome!)? Unbelievable.

I have a better question: what will there be left to talk/worry about once Moto hits us with ICS? JB?

Just make better ROMs and Mods, and keep Atrix growing like the HTC HD2

That gs3 is a beast.. 720p 1.5ghz and 2gb ram. As I recall it lacks HDMI out but I might be wrong. My mom's got one of those after I realized it has an hd screen far and away surpassing the gs2.. plus it's got a.. I'll say lively community

I hate to be the one to say this, but you know when you go back to the root Atrix 4G section, there's a button on the right hand side that says "Search this forum", and if you select "Show posts" and type in "ZTE" and then press "Enter", you'll get around 4 pages of discussion on this topic?
As for which phone to get, a Nexus, I guess. At least if they make one with an SLCD and external storage/32GB internal... I don't really like the lower life-expectancy of AMOLED screens, and I need at least 25GB of data storage space.

Very nice. Im about to drop the hammer on a P6810 now that I saw this. After my journey with the Nexus7, I miss the quality of the Tab 2 7.0 I bought for my wife. The 6810 will be a welcome addition. Besides the fact that im not a hardcore gamer anyway.

Came from a nexus 7 because I needed mobile data and I can honestly say I'm happy I did. Now knowing we'll get JB hell yes!

I wouldn't get too excited by one note on one Samsung country site, it could quite easily be a typing error of some kind.
If it's confirmed from 2 more official sources (and that doesn't include 'my friend whos second cousin works in the warehouse') then I'll start to believe it.

I 100% agree with you. I guess I should just start saving up for the 7.7 note
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda premium

Well, its on a Samsung corporate webpage so that is obviously a plus. Besides that, how can they only push a JB update to the lesser-specced device like the Tab 2 7.0 and not the 7.7?? Really??? The 7.7 is obviously selling, probably not as much in the US as it is across the pond, but its selling nonetheless and is still a viable device!

I don't believe it, google translate has this as the translated text
"Confirm the update" meaning there is no time for it, I'll see it when I believe it
It has nothing to do with specs, the S2 and Note I which are basically the same devices are supposed to receive the update, so the 7.7 could easily run JB from samsung.

many products has confirm the update in front of it, and it did updated now.
and look at this article, there's still buzz going aroung 7.7, so samsaung won't forget it that easy, especially they will use a lot of common sw components from other similar devices, it will be configure and build and retest for them.
