Hi all just a question I'm from UK and pre ordered the s8 from vodafone but my question is.
If I've pre ordered the phone and get it 8 days early before they launch it in the shop do i get the phone from vodafone with there stuff on there or do they take so many pre orders first then order them from samsung to deliver straight to customers?
Not sure how this works
from previous experience . I have always found vodaphone phones always come with there own custom firmware not the generic firmware direct from Samsung. so will have vodafones own apps etc and proberly wont get updates as fast because when Samsung delivery a new firmware Vodafone will then customize it with there own things before releasing
Oh well looks like I be flashing it with Odin when I get the chance.
Thx anyway

its been bothering me that i dont know what sg means. thanks!
at a guess... sony generic??
i was thinking its singapore?
SG is Singapore.
yes that would make sense... i got my phone on ebay and its from malayasia. so we need to wait for the singapore firmware to come online..
wow what the heck, i have a singapore version eventhough im in america? it would make more sense if i had the UK version.
depends where it came from originally. whoever you got it from might of imported it. a lot of tech stuff comes from malayasia first. it was out there months before the UK. its why i got mine from ebay.. i would of thought theres a lot of singapore X2s out there.
out there first but the update still hasnt reached them, great
i want a usable x2 =p
good point! maybe we moan more in the UK than in malayasia lol. i suspect its just some localisation differences and the update went up on friday so hopefully theyll finish off the rest on monday...
Hi Guys
I have a general question about the update to 3.1 and i am sure one of you guys can give me a awnser quickly
I am from switzerland, and i was in UK some weeks ago and buy there a xoom wifi only version.
My question is simple : The update to 3.1 is this actually only on rollout on US or the already start to dispatch them globaly, or is there a issue that i buy my device in uk but i am now located in switzerland ?
Thank you much
cheers
Mario
Same here
i rooted mine and there's still no update available and im in Egypt but bought miner from the uae
AFAIK, where you live shouldn't matter - the device model you have is what matters.
For example, I re-flashed my Canadian Xoom with the US firmware, and within minutes of booting under the US firmware I was offered the 3.1 update, despite the fact I was living in Canada.
So whenever they release the update for the UK Xoom, you will also receive it. At this time, only the US one is receiving updates, and there are no ETA s to when the rest of the world will.
For those of you who, like myself, have the polish PLUS model of the note and have been frustrated at the lack of updates compared to all the other regions.
Just found a new update OTA, its 105mb.
will let you guys know which update it is when my update is finished in a few minutes.
eh?

yeah, some of the first batch of notes sold online were the polish plus carrier locked model. i bought mine online here in australia and it ended up being the polish model, we've been slow to get updates. our last update was KKA.
just completed the update.
we are now on.
PDA - N7000XXLC1
Phone - N7000XXLB2
CSC - N7000PLSLB1
Baseband - N7000XXLB2
about time we got a beefy update. sucks that it isnt ICS though.
so its lc1 - polish plus released it few days ago
ahh yeah, I think I got lucky, my wife bought mine for me in November and I got the Debtel German model... so while I too am in Australia I've been getting pretty regular updates...
besides i get polish Orange carrier (non branded) Note and its still on kka officially ;p thanks god for odin
It's also sad what happened here a few weeks ago. Samsung spent a lot of money to promote the Galaxy Note, renaming the main subway station with "Sol Galaxy Note" and putting there people all day showing it. The problem is that they had only 3 units and all running KKA firmware. I pointed out that to the people there and they did not seem to even have an idea of what a ROM is.
If they want to show the device, load it with the best firmware available and up to date programs, not just the demo video.
Im sure everyone is getting their hands on a SGS3...for those kiwi XDA members, blue is basically unavailable...Ordered my 32GB today haha...at Noel Leeming...
Noel Leeming has the 20% off deal for all Vodafone handsets...$839NZD for 16GB and $919NZD for 32GB...cheaper than Ebay offers at the moment! Official New Zealand stock, not parallel imported...Vodafone stores are still taking orders for $1049 for 16GB...a few of the dodgy parallel importers have it for about $1019...not far from New Zealand stock, so you might as well get stock with valid New Zealand warranty...**** Smith has it for $949? from what I have heard...not sure if its New Zealand stock, I suspect parallel imported since **** Smith do not sell Vodafone?
My friend working at a Wellington Vodafone has confirmed that they are out of stock...though I suspect that JB HIFI still have stock as they were unwilling to disclose stock numbers but insisted that stock was still available for purchase lol...
I have heard that some people have managed to get another 5% off $839 at Warehouse Stationary? Basically $797NZD...can anyone confirm this??? sounds wayyyy too good?
cant wait to get my hands on it!!!
16GB White ONLY:
Warehouse Stationary: Not listed on website / have heard some have purchased for $797NZD
**** Smith: $949NZD (confirmed) limited stock (suspect to be Telecom stock)
JB HIFI: $1049NZD (confirmed) Vodafone stock
Noel Leeming: $839NZD (confirmed) Vodafone stock
Vodafone: $1049NZD (confirmed)
parallel importers: $1019~ refer to Pricespy.co.nz (patchy stock...)
The ETA for Blue 32 through Noels and Bond + Bond is mid June, I work at Bond's and ordered the Blue 32 aswell I will update this post as soon as I can confirm we have stock in quantity
Please use the new zealand thread for this, ask the op of it to update with the info you need. Else we end up 20 threads per country and loose track of the important ones..
I want to buy the Note 10.1 but Amazon UK doesn't have it listed. The German Amazon does however and luckily my dad is in Germany so shipping wouldn't be a problem, but I have a couple of questions...
1. Would the warranty still be valid if brought back to the UK?
2. Would there be any preinstalled German apps that otherwise wouldn't be there on the UK version?
I would usually wait but I'm going away soon so this is my only chance to get it
