Has anyone figured out the 2.2.1 update issue?

Tmo tech is lost as to why some phones just aren't receiving the update. Is rooting the only way?

I just got a new replacement phone today from UPS. Got it this morning and still waiting for the update.
My first one update within hours of me turning it on.
I'll let ya know if I don't have it by tomorrow.

Amazing how quick my wife and I all if a sudden get the update when I tell them I am gonna return the phones and cancel the agreement! But I know why the update didn't come when it was suppose to. The imei was not correct in the system. The last rep got tech on the phone and said check the imei and sure enough it was not changed.

Ota in America

When do you think we will receive the new ota and do you think all carriers will get it at the same time?

From my experience with my Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, VZW users will get an update about 6-8 weeks after everyone else.

Even though this is for International version, would devs be able to take anything from it and implement things for us?

The ota is for the intl version not for the usa version. The devices r completely different.

What makes u think there is the need for an ota? What bugs ur phone has? Or it is just a new trend to get otas every week

Well that brightness slider would be a GREAT addition in my opinion. I also wouldn't mind if the fixed the standby battery draw reporting glitch. Also, they could ACTUALLY fix the standby battery draw so the phone doesn't suck it self dry through the day from standby.
Oh yeah, the desktop background doesn't scroll when you flip screens. Don't know if that's a glitch, but it's just stupid and should be changed.
Another thing, the phone seems to just drop reception randomly even though it's in a fully covered area. This constant drop and pick up is suuuuuper annoying when you're surfing the web or using some messenger app. Also is a battery killer as well.
Improvements can always be made. It's nice to get the updates and nice to know samsung/att cares about our experience. (For sure ATT doesn't give two ****s so I hope Samsung can persuade)

Not sure if serious...
This phone's wireless/data radio are a complete pos. WiFi drops constantly, and it's just weak. I can't even believe how weak the signal is. You guys are worried about brightness...lol .

I've personally have had an issue where callers from my contacts list show up as Unknown. My Dad, with the same GS3, called me and asked if I was having this issue as he had been noticing it as well. Also, some others on xda have reported the same or similar issues.
I called and talked to a rep at tmo and was told that it was a known issue being worked on by tmo and sammy. Not sure when (or if) this will be fixed, but I'm hopeful.

Galaxy Note 2 short hands-on

Hey there,
I just thought I would share this with you people. I work for a carrier (don't even bother asking which one ) and we received our test unit today!!! It's the grey version and it looks totally awesome. The screen real-estate is just outta this world. I put it side to side with my S3 and looking at them, I became a bit pissed at my purchase as when the Note 2 was announced, I had thought that we would never carry it (ok, I've already said enough)!
I'm sorry I can' really say much but I had it in my hands for about 5 mins...! It was a 16gb model. I witnessed popup s note, popup browser (NICE), the new menu when you pull the pen out...oh yeah and this thing is FAST!
I have no idea about the release date (they wouldn't tell us), although I find it a bit strange that we are receiving a unit so soon. I've read on several sites that it would be next November...!

One question, have you noticed any bugs so far with your "test device"?

You must be in the united states, you said several sites said November ( that's US release month) and you said you didn't expect it so soon ( Europe is expecting it starting this Friday, going on next week). I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you work for.....sprint or at&t but I'm not sure which one

Nothing is ever certain in this world...
I didn't actually have enough time with it (5mins) to notice any potential bugs (and mind you, we only received the phone today). I can ask my colleague who's in charge of the device though to see if he notices anything odd.

If you're saying you weren't expecting it to come in I'm gonna say you work for WIND, or as someone already said, Videotron. Lol

I do have that info. It seems that even my employer is announcing it on its website so the info is already in the public domain. So here goes: SGH-T889V.
You won't find much when googleing that, except for a reference related to Samsung's Smartview app.

Google Edition Shipped!

Checked my email before work this morning and got the notice from Google that the GE phones have shipped!
To note I chose the 3-5 day free shipping and it's still getting here tomorrow, SWEET!
I ordered my phone on June 26th, 2013 around 1:24 PM EST, with no issues on ordering like the N4 fiasco. Probably due to the price tag.
Attached some pics.. getting excited

Yep, remember unlocking it is as simple as 'fastboot oem unlock' - none of this HTC Dev crap! Then rip everything you can from the phone (boot.img, system, recovery, radio, etc.)

I'll see what I can do. Earliest UPS guy comes is around 12:30 and I'm usually home for lunch, however won't be back from work till around 5.
I'm sure someone will have a dump by then, haha, but if not I should be able to pull the files.

in case you need them, here are the instructions for a FULL dump
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356918

I got my shipping notification as well, but it's not scheduled to get to my drop box till Friday...

I got my email ....but ups has not updated the tracking yet .....

Got mine, too. Arrives in Cali on Friday.

Got my email that my One GPE shipped yesterday as well. Tracking says it will be delivered to me in NYC on Thursday.

Guys who are getting it. Please go to my thread and follow the instructions to dump all the partitions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2356918
If any of you are in NYC and are a bit confused on how to dump it all after reading the thread and if you're willing to meet up let me know. We can meet up and I can pull all the partitions

Ok just checked tracking # should have it tomorrow by the end of the day .....good job by Google by updating shipping to overnight

Most likely you are receiving it tomorrow because of your proximity to a shipping location. I doubt that they are doing overnight shipping for free.

Yeah here is to wishing they ship with 4.3 lol
The idea here is not for us to be able to run the rom but to fully do a conversion. As of now we have the 4.2.2 rom and boot image. I have two ones and I want to fully convert one to a GE. I know others are interested in performing a full conversion as well. And if we do the full conversion when the 4.3 OTA drops we would get it as an OTA and not have to wait for other devs to package it all up for everyone

System updates is not available.

When going to do the KitKat update after freshly sbf'ing to stock I am greeted with a prompt(when I go to settings>about phone>system update) that says the following; "System updates is not available without a Motorola service account". It asks me if I want to set up an account and when I try it just has a spinning circle that never goes away. I am on 9.30.1. I have tried a factory reset multiple times with no success. Any ideas on a fix?

Perhaps someone will pull the official update from their cache and you could apply in the same manner as the soak test leak

I do! I even had the phone into the Verizon store today and they played with it for about an hour (near as I can tell, they didn't do anything I hadn't already tried). The consensus was that I needed a new phone, so they are going to overnight a new phone out to me.

Okay I have bad news. I just got off the phone with a tech support agent at Motorola. They asked for my IMEI, I gave it to them and they told me they could tell i was rooted(which is funny because I'M ACTUALLY NOT ) and that the Motorola servers don't push updates to rooted phones. makes me question a lot because when i was actually rooted i got the update, but now that i'm not i don't? This is a mess. I just want my update.
