[Q] Anybody rebranding for AT&T specific update??

Anybody thinking of reverting back, rebranding and getting the AT&T specific updates?? Kicking the idea around myself, Data="ATT-US" was the removed string... Please let is know if anybody goes this route...

I just did. Had to roll back to 7008, didn't have 7004. Hope it still works.

Think of doing the same just wanted to wait for someone to report if there are in fact anything different or was ATT just talking.

I'm curious about that too plus want to see if the Debranding then rebranding causes any issues with getting updates like the ones they are expecting for those who used the nodoupdatertools to get updates sooner then the rest..

well i did not do the chevron way i did the spoof way that was done at first so i do have a backup of my phone.

Not worth the wait (and sooo glad I did the VPN hack update)
Apparently the ATT exclusive *features* they are adding is a WISPr protocol that switches you to login into att wifi hotspots automatically when near one. To save you (and them) data bandwidth.
The other feature is to allow you to sync your contacts with your att address book. Even lamer.
So yes ATT made you wait this long for nothing.
Lesson learned. Always rely on the fans and community for support, not the ones you have a contract with.

lol same here. 1 starbucks and a few McDonalds...not worth it. plus i've been on ATT for 3 yrs now and still grandpa'd into the unlimited data usage plan...so no worries on data

I did revert to 7008 and re-branded my phone. I am not worried about ATT's feature. I more worried about firmware updates. I know Rodger's Focus had firmware updates.
I did have trouble with it at first. This post solved my problems:

Anyone realizing that ATT made us wait for a feature that switches us to their WiFi hotspots...unsecure open WiFi hotspots. Double stack stupid

There are AT&T-specific changes, and there are OEM-specific changes. I can live without the AT&T crap, but if Samsung has firmware or driver update included w/ the AT&T NoDo update, then you guys may be missing out on them...

If there are firmware updates of any importance for Samsung Focus phones I see two ways of getting them;
1. anyone who puchased their phones outside AT&T or any carrier(say on Amazon or retail store) I would think they would get the update through Zune or directly from Samsung seeing their phones are not "Branded" which is no different from our "debranded" phones..
2. Reverting back to 7008, use Samsung Registry Tool, rebranding AT&T and then getting NoDo with anything else AT&T is offering..

I'm curious about this comment -- where can you get an unbranded Samsung Focus because I have yet to find one? Do they have the AT&T logo displayed below the earpiece and does it have the AT&T apps/fluff pre-loaded? If so, then that's not an unbranded phone.

Your right, I didn't realize the unlocked Focus phones being sold outside of AT&T with no contracts still has AT&T label.. Learn something new everyday..*
Guess the revert to 7008, rebrand and update is the only option, not sure what's going to happen to those who used the ChevronNoDoUpdateTool though???

I doubt it, when MS asked Chris Walsh to pull the updater tool I got the feeling from comments by both MS & Mr. Walsh that both were going to look into a solution to correct the problem, let's face there is no way either MS or the Chevron team will let so many out in the cold on a new start up OS, there was something like 25,000 downloads of the tool..

Will people who got NoDo get this update?
I unbranded, updated, then rebranded.

My guess is your phone will be shown as Up To Date, I also imagine you can go into Zune and choose revert back to 7008 then you should be able to reupdate to AT&T's version.. Grant you this is only my opinion.. Going to be a interesting week for those who rebranded or used the Chevron Update Tool, especially with rumors of a upcoming Microsoft Update concerning Certificates..

I unbranded then updated via the VPN method then rebranded back. For some reason Zune isnt giving me the option to revert back so guess I will see what happens when they start rolling out the next updates.

I just connected my phone to Zune and it shows a Samsung update available. I am updating to it now. Looks like it saw I had the NODO then offered the samsung update.

Verizon Nexus 6 March 12th

Just found this article and I thought I'd share it with y'all. Hopefully it won't get pushed back again.
http://phandroid.com/2015/02/25/exclusive-verizon-nexus-6-launch-march-12th/
This should put its release right around the release of the Galaxy S6 and maybe HTC one M9. What do y'all think of this?

I think what could they POSSIBLY be doing that requires them to release it this long after other carriers? Does it take that long to test if bloatware works on it? Are they just trolling? Or are they fighting back and forth with Google trying to get permission to lock down the bootloader like a chastity belt?

i am pissed at vzw .. i waited patiently for this day. and no release.
i may wait till march 12th. but if they don't release it then i am off to tmobile

I'm trying to decide if I want to wait. I unfortunately am stuck on the edge up program. I really want the nexus 6 though but not if VZW has ruined (like they usually do). And I fear that they are ruining it right now.

quick question guys
i have 2 lines. mine is a galaxy s3 that has been out of the 2 year contract since september. i have been waiting for verizon to release the nexus but i am sick of getting jerked around besides i live out in the sticks so i am forced to use a network extender because i have no signal at my home and i just found out t-mobile has wifi calling and texting.
my other line is my brothers lg g3 that he got in september of last year. so he is still paying it off.
question 1.. will t mobile pay my early termination fees if i decide to switch.
question 2.. will my brother be forced to pay off the remaining balance of his phone? or does t mobile pay that too if he transfers his phone to t-mobile?
thanks guys for any input

Wouldn't it be easier to ask T-Mobile directly?

Try their free test run first before you switch. I tried them and while their corporate customer service was flat out amazing, the signal was terrible anywhere but large cities and the WiFi calling was a joke, literally had the 56k dial tone pop up during conversations...

thanks that is a great idea. i live in central NJ so far i am seeing good things about the coverage in my area. and towards NY.
i will try the free test drive thing and see if it is a good fit for me.
it looks like they will pay the termination fees. and according to their site they will give my bro 130 dollars for his phone as a trade in.
maybe he would have better luck on swappa or ebay.
but it will cut my bill from 700 minutes of phone (old plan i never updated) and 2 gb of data each for 180 a month from verzon to unlimited phone text and data from t-mobile for 129 a month which includes the financing for the nexus 6.
thanks guys for the info

I hear this may be due to VoLTE implementation for the N6. Does that mean that if I bought the Motorola/Google Play version that I'm out of luck with VoLTE?

http://phandroid.com/2015/02/26/exclusive-verizon-nexus-6-march-12-android-5-1-volte-support/
If this is true, it make the lateness of the release almost null.

I got mine from t-mobile I hope I get VOLTE because I really miss my web and phone at the same time.

Google no longer allows carriers to preinstall their own apps on Nexus phones. Lollipop has a new feature that checks to see which carrier's sim card is in the phone. Then it downloads the so-called bloatware to the phone during initial setup just like Nokia's carrier branded Windows Phones do. I am curious though. Google previously said that Nexus 6 phones bought from the Google Play store would work on any of the big four USA carriers. Is this still true? Can I take an unlocked Sprint Nexus 6 phone (if unlocking is even required) and pop in a Verizon sim card?

One note of interest no one has mentioned. I read that it will be 5.1 out of the box. Could this possibly mean that we will see 5.1 before the March Verizon release date?

Thats incorrect google is allowing carriers to install apps but need to be able to be removed. Check the att thread out.
If u buy a carrier branded device like the nexus 6 from att unless that is paid off the phone is sim locked. Also depends on if the devices are sim locked. As of right now i know that the att is sim locked till the device is paid out of contract or bought paid in full. then u can request a key. All nexus 6 OS firmware are the same. Its a universal software. Just added bloat per company will be added for updates.
Edit: Also google even stated that now updates wont come as fast for carrier devices pending partners.

I honestly dont think it will be released out of the box. I think the phones will come with 5.0 and then you can update to 5.1. Also there is rumors verizon may not allow these devices on edge.

its all he said she said on xda. Check in this thread or a few other verizon threads for the nexus. Some think verizon wont and some say verizon will. We actually wont know till the 12th.
Edit: I had a few verizon reps straight out tell me they look down at the rooting/flashing community because they claim it hurts their network. Thats why tmobile is so popular. If they do not allow nexus 6 on edge that would force customers to either pay full or sign a contract. I am not saying its true or not. Just from observation on here.

LOL randoms on XDA are hardly a reliable source of info. There's been everything from "Verizon will never get the device" to "Verizon will lock it down, put 50 logos on it, and rename it something else". It's people guessing, making things up, and hating on Verizon because that's the cool thing to do.

There is still a big chance and possibility since verizon looks down to the community here that they could do that. Verizon doesnt like google. They like samsung and apple. They careless about everything else and what the customers want. Makes you think that how come verizon allows the use of developer devices on their network for limited phones. Mostly samsung. Verizon is always out to make more money. I again am not saying they will not allow it on edge, but it still can be a possibility coming from the fact that its unlockable and cant be altered too much by them.
Edit: Also never stated they were reliable. Just stating from how verizon is and what people think. Anything can be possible with how verizon will take this phone.

Google has never made such a comment publicly regarding carrier bloatware and software updates. There's nothing to prevent someone from flashing a factory image designed for Google Play store devices to a Verizon Nexus 6 either, for example. They have, however, stated that Nexus 6 phones always come with no bloatware installed. The bloatware is downloaded during initial setup depending on which carrier's sim card is installed. The main question I have though is if I buy a Nexus 6 from the Google Play store can I pop in a Verizon sim card and have it work on Verizon's network?

Hurts their network? doubt that, because they allow dev editions to function on said network.
If it truly hurt, then none of them would be allowed, it's a $$$ thing.

Security Patch OUTDATED

I am wondering if anyone knows why the security patch level on my Verizon HTC 10 is from June 1? Isn't their a more recent security update?

Because US carriers are brutally slow to push out updates....
HTC has been the best OEM (other than google itself with the nexus phones) on updating flagship phones the past couple of years...even US Carrier ones...but obviously their unlocked ones get it quicker due to less red tape.

Thats kind of what i figured...I talked to Verizon support and they tried to convince me that it had nothing to do with them and that it was all an Android issue and that the carriers had nothing to do with security updates being pushed to their devices.

Typical BS Verizon response... I recall when I had a Sony z3v which was actually a nice phone, it never even got the advanced calling update it was supposed to! I couldn't use voice and data at the time time, then magically Verizon stopped selling it, and they kept blaming Sony. I know the Verizon variant was a little different than the normal z3 but I had it a year with no update! I think they finally stopped the phone at 5.1...

When is the March security update coming to unlocked Snapdragon variants?

Again Europe is getting the update way before the US market. Any word when to expect the update here?

No word yet and Samsung hasn't put out a schedule! hopefully soon...

At this point they should wait for April patch... But what matters most to me is resolving network bugs with Sprint + T-Mobile. Still, isn't it odd that even the U1 S10s don't have the March patch?

I don't care about the security update, I want the fixes, like the deep sleep bug, etc. So tired of feeling like a red-headed stepchild.

I had an U1 S9+ in the US and it always came last for any updates. Use to be the first to get them but not anymore. It took about 3 weeks to get the Pie update from Oreo after everyone else got it.

My Unlocked UK gets updated pretty much on day 0, but you Americans have to suffer waiting for your lazy providers to bloat your firmware first, not only that, that's also another reason of why you can't unlock your bootloader, it really sucks.
Samsung's update schedule is totally ignored by most providers worldwide, some S9 units are getting Pie just now, so there's no way to really know when anything is coming to anyone.

Mine is unlocked, not a provider phone. Yet still ignored by Samsung. I love Samsung phones, I always get unlocked versions, but this is absolutely ridiculous. One thing about iPhones that makes me jealous.

April....day 5....no March update. How is it acceptable to have a flagship phone, where Samsung committed to monthly updates, and to be a month late right out of the gate?

My phone runs amazing. I'm not sweating it.

I am still waiting also.

It should arrive for U1 once all US carriers update their U models. I think Verizon & ATT haven't updated yet, will check later.

I got a prompt for a biometrics update (Canada unlocked version) yet when I try to install it, it fails. Had to remove Secure Folder it seems, but then the notification disappeared completely. No more notification and biometrics still the same older version. I love how good Samsung is at rolling out updates. I will probably never get this now.
No March update either, a md it's mid April now.

Hopefully the biometrics update(s) will come soon for the snapdragon unlocked us version

Just received the unlocked March update... Yippee ???????

Is anyone else stuck on the May 1st patch that has the U1 (Unlocked by Sammy)?

Samsung does update their unlocked phones last after all of the carriers have signed off on updates. I've been reading complaints about this since Samsung started selling unlocked phones in North America but it's completely deliberate if frustrating.

In the past it was Unlocked then carrier. My understanding was that the carrier models took longer because of all of the bloat they pushed the update had to not interfere with that and it not interfere with the update. Now it has become a pay to play type field where the carriers seem to be saying hey who's more valuable, our 50,000 units or the independents and their 1,200 units?
Anyway on an up note, for those who don't have the update... I know how can that be an up note, but for those who don't have it, there were several articles about glitches with the update. After the phones last reboot it was asking users to input a password, even if none had been set. If one was set it didn't work anymore and I believe the only resolution was a factory reset. No big deal if that was something you planed on doing anyway or if factory resetting worked, which I'm not 100% it did. They quickly halted the roll out and were supposed to be recoding it.

So maybe it's a lucky thing we haven't gotten it yet.

Yep still stuck in May here too. I agree it's frustrating that we're usually months behind on getting new features and always last getting security updates. But I am happy that we didn't get that last update that made people factory reset to get into their phones.

Same here
I actually called Samsung yesterday. Sure enough, they blame it on the carrier.....sad.

You might be thinking of international unlocked models that were purchased for use in the US when you say that in the past Samsung provided updates for unlocked models before carrier updates.
Samsung didn't officially start selling unlocked phones in the United States until a couple years ago (I think with the S8) and it has always been Samsung's policy to update the US unlocked phones after all of the carriers have approved the update.
The unlocked international S10 phones are on the July security patch.

Here in the UK the unlocked models get updated first, then around a week or two later the carriers get it. That's been my experience with my Vodafone version S10+, atm the BTU CSC has the July update but still waiting on mine, doesn't bother me too much tho.

In the US Samsung and Apple have a virtual duopoly thanks to the carriers which might be why those carriers are given priority here--unlocked phones are a tiny segment of the market in this country. Phones from Xiaomi, Huawei and Honor aren't available here except as unlocked imports through the mail with no warranty or support.

Sprint got the june update today

I'm definitely tempted to update to a U firmware instead of using the default unlocked firmware. It is super disappointing to get updates last. It used to be the reason to get unlocked phones...

I am on AT&T and I got the June update either the last week of June or the first week of July I want to say.

My wife's unlocked s8 + already got the July update! My unlocked s10 plus is still on may.
How is this a carrier issue? Samsung seriously needs to address this void.

It's seriously pisses me off that I spent almost $900 on a phone and it hasn't been updated now in over two months. I just checked the settings and it says the phone was last updated on May 29th. That's over two months. if there was a clear guide to follow I would have updated to the AT&t firmware by now but it's been many years since I did anything with Odin and I don't want to risk screwing up my phone....ugh

We need to contact Samsung
