When are we going to have something to convert our i9505 to i9505g google edition? That supports OTA.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
i understand that OTA functionality will bring updates easily but i think that if you already have the technical know-how to be able to convert a i9505 to a GE, OTA updates would be the least of your worries...

I have an int. 9505 on order, I want to run on it stock Google edition Android Un-Rooted with OTA capabilities too, I understand the friend and I share his interest, I'm not a fan of custom roms, no argument how *safe* it's android, I favor stock Un-Rooted rom on devices I use every day with all my personal info like passwords, credit cards, pins, etc

really don't understand everyone's obsession with OTA... chances at the moment are very slim, due to different bootloader and partitions... however this may soon change. In the mean time there are plenty of Google Edition roms available.

Strange thing is that some people has already start to recieve the Google edition phone with stock firmware and no one extract it so far. Why it is not already here to flash this devices

Yeah that's what I'm confused about... people were supposed to receive them 'by' the 9th...?
or maybe it was 'shipped by the 9th'?

Am I missing something here? There are already numerous builds which will make your S4 into the Google edition.

The 4.2.2 rom is official. But why do you care so much about OTA? there will be a OTA every 3-4 months. Not daily,weekly,monthly.
ALot of people think Nexus devices get alot of updates but thats not the case. Last update for My Nexus 10 + Nexus 4 was 4months ago -.-

Question to you, why ask for a ''complete'' dump in the HTC One forums if there are google edition roms in their section ?

I want to transform my S4 to the i9505G with OTA working (official) ... so i don't need to wait for rom cookers to release their own updates.
Read better. I asked for a complete dump including radio,bootloader,recovery,kernel. Not just the system dump.

OTA updates will be so few and far between they're a complete irrelevance. Look at the Google roms on here, some of them have received over ten updates already. As for being 'Official', exactly why does that matter? Do you think having an 'Official' Google edition rom on your I9505 will make getting it repaired by Samsung any more likely should something go wrong? You will have still voided your warranty regardless.
We want stock I9505GE so we can use the full memory of the phone. So complete official and new partitions..
Hello everyone,
I'm thinking to buy a Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition from the Play Store in the US; the thing is I'm going to use it in Europe (in Italy to be precise), so I was wondering whether or not it's fully "compatible" with the standards over here since I know that the US & EU versions are slightly different especially for what concerns LTE and the # of cores.
Will the battery be drained by the absence of the LTE network (like 3G does when the connectivity is low) or not?
Further and most important, does the S4 sold onto the Play Store have the SIM card or what?
Is it slower than then the EU edition (non GE, obviously) as it apparently has less cores?
Is there any other drawback that should prevent me from buying it?
Thank you!

Hardware wise is exactly the same, so no worries here. Just tell me how are you going to buy and ship it to Europe?. As far I know the play store is region locked.

Actually this site says otherwise, or at least for what concerns Samsung ones:

Just buy the international i9505 and flash the google edition rom. There is absolutely no difference and you get to flash Samsung back if you want.

Yeah, I thought of that too..
Still, I thought it might be more convenient money-wise to buy in the US. Further, isn't the bootloader blocked in the ones that are NOT Google?
(Btw, did you flash the GE OS onto yours?)

Hi MaKTaiL
Will it be OK for me to flash a USA Google edition rom on my UK I9505, i.e.. what about the difference in basebands (radio part)? would my 4G still work?
Most of the Google edition roms on XDA seem to be experimental or pre release roms at present?
Thanks in advance bud.

Yes, it will work just fine. I'm currently using the 4.3 leak, everything is working perfectly, despite it being a leak.
I'll PM you in a few minutes with the download link for an untouched Google Edition ROM (no mods, no root, simply stock) and all the instructions.
EDIT
Just sent the PM.

Sorry for the late reply, I was at work. I'll PM you both in a few minutes.
I got it from a thread on Galaxy S4 AT&T forums. The guy made an untouched rom for both AT&T and i9505 versions.
The thread got really famous around the internet and Samsung found out about it and asked XDA to close it.
It was sad but I had the lastest version here with me already, so I uploaded for you guys. :good:
PS.: And no, you won't get updates directly. You will have to wait for the system dump and for someone to make a flashable zip of it.
I'm sure it won't take long for it when the update comes. Hahahahahaha. People on XDA are really fast.

I dont know how to flash the Odin version though. You cant flash bootloader nor the modem for example. It is safer to flash the zip. But do as you like and tell us if it worked.

This is a known issue ( which hopefully samsung is being worked on ) when updating to 4.4.2. Check this thread and find out if it works for you.

Relax, Samsung isn't in any hurry No reason to worry, you're by far not the only one. But hey.. You're on XDA and there are tons of TouchWiz Lollipop ROMs over here and brilliant CM builds too! Come to the dark side, it's better than the stock unrooted ROM that Samsung wil give you lol..
I am having major wakelock issues on my OPO running PA 4.45. The battery life is impacted pretty badly and its incredibly annoying. It also seems like there is more then one wakelock keeping it awake, I have tried a few different solutions including greenify and juice defender (yes I am rooted) I know there are other threads about this and none of them seem to help... I'm sorry if I sound like a massive noob, but I'm new to this whole deal (I'm a iOS convert). I'm also very sorry that I cannot post any links to pictures as I have not yet met the requirement of 10 posts...

I will also note that the 'awake' bar is %100 blue whereas the 'screen on' bar is correct and shows blue only when the screen has been on.

They didn't work in 4.45 because of an update to the api last year. Again, the version you are on is almost a year old. Unsupported and old as ****

So to switch to 4.46 beta 6 I just download the flashable .zip and put on my phone, clear the cache and dalvik and then flash the .zip and it should be good because I'm going from one 4.4.4 rom to another? Sorry if these questions are stupid obvious... I'm still a major noon at this and trying to learn the ropes.

So I upgraded to 4.6 beta 6 and the OTA updates are coming through for lollipop and all of them get me stuck in boot loops, I have tried wiping the cache/dalvik after getting stuck in the bootloop and it does nothing... I have to revert back to the NANDroid backup I made. The wakelock issue also persists.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
You need newer firmware to update to lollipop.
For your wakelock issues, have a look at Google. Their services are known causes.
