I'm sorry, I can't help you with your stock issue. But I would like to comment on price. Price will change when the phone isn't as desired. To make it more desirable in a few months, they'll drop the price to combat newer, better speced phones.

Is it around £400 or US$645??? That's not bad. In UK it costs around £450-475. In Brazil it was launched today at just under R$ 2k, which corresponds to US$ 1,250. Lucky you guys in India! That's the reason why it's sold out. Nevertheless, it's still bloody expensive everywhere =P

Same situation in hong kong, I had purchase galaxy S II on last week, but they said the galaxy S II is out of stock in hong kong now, maybe need waiting 2~3 weeks

Hello Dude..there is no question of better screen etc...both are same super amoled plus screen..in the 1st batch it was a spelling mistake..and there are some screen issues in the 1st lot products..bt in the 2nd lot they have rectified it & probably other probs also rectified..i asked u as wanted to know whether 2nd batch came into market or not...there is nothing called "AMOLDED"

@OP you can always give online stores a try. S2 is available at Infibeam, univercell and BigBazaar with a number of payment options.

[Q] G900T has locked bootloader? T-mobile Samsung galaxy S5

Does anyone know if tmo will be following their trend of *not locking* the bootloader on the S5 like the note 3?

I would hope so. Is there any way for me to check?

at least how volume down + power + home button and go to download mode and see if it's listed there

I did that a week ago and I still don't know how to tell. I've heard you don't know till it's flashed???
Edit... It did the usual warning about custom software at first/ however so does the Verizon s4 which is locked. I don't know... Guess I'll find out on the 11th

I haven't heard anything about T-Mobile (or Sprint for that matter) locking down the bootloader.. this would be a first

I believe anand from anandtech said all USA versions will be locked. Don't know how he knew but sprint and T-Mobile were mentioned also. Damn shame. Samsung is gonna start bleeding market share. If I can get my hands on HTC M8 and reception is better than my note 3. The note3 is going on swappa and I am getting a gpe M8.

I too would love an answer to this question. Dev support will depend on it, remember how long it took to get a working device tree for the TMO Note 3?

If you'll notice he took a photo of that mode and posted it about 5 posts ago. Didn't know how to decipher the info. Bootloader is unlocked anyhow

Well, for future reference here is what it would look like if it was locked.

S7 Edge - Uk Thread

As we all getting the devices today in UK thought id make a thread for us .
First question i wanted to ask was in some video on youtube ive seen yahoo on apps edge cant seem to find it in uk model only cnn. Looked in galaxy store as well.

Got mine today.
Checked and cannot see Yahoo on apps edge

Was so excited about mine being delivered by o2 via ukmail. But it would appear they wouldn't leave it in my safe place opposite the front door (even though the delivery guy could have closed the padlock) so I've been forced to reschedule it even though the same thing is going to happen tomorrow. So so annoying!!

Im personally coming from the 6p which was a much bigger phone. I am liking the s7 edge only thing is getting use to picking it up from my desk too slippy will have to put a case on it and hopefully root soon .

I'm still waiting for mine to come, but I was wondering if the Yahoo app would be on it, is there something in its place or is it just missing all together

A lot of reviews suggested it is seamless. However, I found the chrome edges to be a tiny bit sharp which was disappointing but nothing huge. I'll have a case on it tomorrow anyway

Are all the uk models using the exynos chips?

Oreo rolling out in australia?

Check the XDA homepage.. they said that G5 and G5s users are receiving oreo in australia and new zealand.. anyone can confirm this?

Here's the article:
Motorola Brings Android Oreo to the Moto Z, Z2 Play, G5, G5S and More in Australia and New Zealand

Excellent, I hope that some users can share the zip, or something similar to install the update on other update channels, as they did with the G4 Plus when it received 7.0

I'm shocked. Is this real?

Motorola moderators say it is fake and clickbait, but i don't really believe in them since they say they don't know more than ud users do..
They guy that started this information said it is based on an email that was received from motorola australia.. not sure if it's real, we have to wait.

Needs to be more independent reports before we can trust it.

Is there anybody from Australia here ?

I'll believe it when retus finally sees npn25.137-93. (not gonna lie, seeing the announcement on the XDA front page got me excited for a split second.)
EDIT: well, I guess I spoke too soon.

The article is clickbait. If you follow the source, it is a random ass website claiming a Motorola rep told them it. I am not believing it. I can make up a website and write too that my doggo told me we will get oreo tonight!

So if you're running stock, did you receive any notification about an update to Oreo ?

Nope no Oreo. I'm from Australia. I think I actually prefer nougat. I have a Nokia 8 on oreo 8.1 and it's smooth and all but that's running a s835. This Moto g5 plus feels pretty smooth (apart from heavy live wallpapers and games) for a s625. And I like nougats overall look

Notification LED App

Hey guys,
now that the S10 / 10+ doesnt include any kind of Notification LED, i hope some Dev can create an App, where (in case of notfications) 1 or 2 Pixel around the Front Cam are lighten up.

Can you please explain what do you mean by "From what I've seen"? I would be precise in my query. Actually what you have seen and where? How authentic is that?
Thanks.

It doesn't stay on however so you can have a peak on the phone from distance and know you have new notifications.
Only thing that works for me so far is double taping the aod

To address "from what I've seen", I have Verizon and I don't have any update as of this morning.
To address if the update is in the works, take a look at the article I posted a few replies before you quoted myself, plus many more, directly on Samsung's forums with an employee stating there will be an update in the future...

I am also in that forum man and the person who informed about the update is not a Samsung employee. He's just like us. So, that does not create a new hope.

Theres an Edge lighting app. I haven't messed it with yet but upon doing I will note what it does and share here.
---------- Post added at 03:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 AM ----------
The edge lighting around the front camera circles it in the oval shape during facial recognition and that's the only time I've seen it on so far.
