When is UK unlocked firmware gonna be released sick of wait

I know I have the option of update to la4 via Odin but wonder when Samsung will released this to the UK
I have a UK unlocked version xeu and am not impressed the UK users are being made to wait I would have thought the UK market like the German market accounts for a large chunk of note sales so why do Samsung think it is ok to delay our release
I don't want to patch via Odin as I have never done if before and will wait but does anyone know when we will see the release

Yesterday I couldn't wait any more and updated by Mobile Odin Pro. Was fast, easy and LA4 is really more swift and dandy

I got sick of the wait too about 2 weeks back and went the Odin route then changed my CSC whilst I was at it. Very frustrating waiting for updates in the UK and it'll no doubt be another long wait for ICS when it finally comes out for us brits. Luckily flashing LA4 was easy enough...

Mine is a UK unlocked version which I don't mind sharing, but I need directions on how to properly extract the right files without including personal info and as show of gratitude I would like someone to share the UK samsung movies app version (long story but basically need it to utilize the movies voucher).
I assume what you are asking for is kka?

German version of GS 4

It looks like Germany is gettig octa core and i want it rather than snapdragon 600. I always had USA version of phone and never tried international version. Although rumors are to be said that Exynos are not going to get much development as snapdragon 600, it is ok because I will not be rooting or flashing rom. So, My question is, what will be the famous german phone sale website that will be selling GS 4 and will ship to USA? (For example in UK, www.clove.co.uk would be a good example)

If I bought one from Germany (octacore) :
1. Would it just be a case of selecting English and using my 3 sim straight off?
2. Is warranty an issue, would I have to send it to Germany should a fault occur?
3. If they ever do bring out an octacore version in the UK at a later date, am I right in thinking you could just flash the UK firmware on the German bought phone?
Thanks

1. Well if you buy sim free unlocked one and your carrier carries the right frequency yeah.
2. I have to research more on warranty but i assume samsung in us will be handle it unless warranty specifically states to be serviced in germany.
3. No idea

Related to #2: Of you buy the phone in Europe, the warranty will be available only in European Union, so in case of problems you will need to send it to Europe.
About #3, if the devices are both OCTA, it shouldn't be a problem.

UK is in Europe (for now at least ) which is why I'm not sure how warranty would work. I wonder if someone in France moved to Germany, would they have to send it back to France if that's where they bought it?

Nop, you can fix it in Germany, as well as Portugal or Romania. If you bought it in EU, you can fix it wherever you are or want. I'm in Spain right now, I will buy it from Germany and if I have problems, I can send it to Samsung Service here in Spain. That's the beauty of European Union.
@jkforce: I don't think it will work. First of all, the whole US will use Snapdragon so Octa will be kinda hard (or needs a lot of time to be fixed because of the component needed and not found locally). Also, an extended warranty works in the same way as a normal one, in this case only in Europe, but covers you of drops or other mechanical damages. You will need to ask Samsung US if they can accept you an extended warranty for an European device in US.

Is the EU warranty valid in all EU countries?

I'm getting my Note today but I wonder if I purchase from Amazon Germany or Italy would the warranty be valid in my country (Ireland). Whats your experience?

Yes, it's valid. But you will be required to send it back to the shop you bought it from if it breaks.

You can give it to any official resale shop of Samsung. You don't need to send it back to the shop you bought it

That's not ever been a requirement in my experience. Samsung deal directly with me on warranty issues & that's same whether I am or not the original owner of the handset as long as it's within the 2 yr warranty.
The warranty is with Samsung.

I have one, but I own the E330S variant from SK Telecom, it's just so smooth since I just switch from the international Note 2 N7100
Can't wait to see the Dev's working on this awesome beast of a device
So far, I'm still content with the standard ROM, although it's packed with the Korean carrier's bloatware..
Just now I see in SamMobile there's already the 4.3 update for the SHV-E330S, but I'm still waiting from you guys for news concerning the development of this device...

Mine also no 4G written on the back. But no big deal, as long as I can connect to LTE network. That's more important rather than a word "4G".
And made in which country also not a big deal, as we know, Samsung has some factories spread in Asia country. Mine is written made in vietnam. My friend has 1 written made in Thailand. I got another friend written Made for Europe Countries.
It's only a box, as long as your IMEI is correct, there's nothing to worry about I guess.
Cheers.

Thanks man . I was a little bit worried about it. I've heard somewhere that made by Samsung is like made in China or India. At the moment I returned it waiting for a replacement. If it didn't work I'll just keep it.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Why have you returned it? Sounds like you have a genuine device. My first n9005 came form malaysia (was meant to be europe, damn amazon) and had the ugly 4g logo on the back so i instantly returned ot and got a BTU model with a nice clean back
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

I thought only the US branded devices had 4G in the back?
None of the EU N9005s have anything other than 'Samsung' on the back, and they're all 'Made By Samsung'. I spend 3 days scouring the box for a made in text after someone asked where they all came from, no such info on EU boxes.

i think it is normal in my region. I have note 3 4g but no 4g symbol on the back cover.

Took it back and it's working normally with 4g lte network
