Hi, does the shield have a different version of the OS between USA/EU market? I'm going to buy a new Shield TV from USA since the price it's lower, but I'm worried about the OS and the apps installed. Could you please help me to understand this better?

hey guys,
So i was recently in the UK so i picked up a Xoom WIFI.. i know it was a bit of a risky thing seeing that I live in Bermuda which is US Friendly as far as electronics and voltage.
My questions is what are the major difference between the UK and US Xoom besides the MZ604 and MZ600?
Am i putting myself at a major disadvantage my having the UK version in a US territory?
Also is there a One Click Root method for XOOM WIFI MZ604, because i cannot get a Android SDK set up for the life of me on my new computer.
Thanks in Advance.
You may experience a slight disadvantage from buying a Non-US Xoom as evidenced here :

basically i can just load US firmware on then its not UK xoom anymore?
The US Wifi is MZ604 as well.
You are not putting yourself at disadvantage by having a UK wifi xoom.
Correct. Load the US firmware and get the upadte to 3.1. I've done it and I'm in the UK. It's the exact same model, just different software.
DONE! thanks guys there is a really good thread going that has exactly how to do it! now i just have to use this ugly converter until my US charger is shipped. =)

in case anyone wants the thread. to switch to the US ZOOm software and upgrade to 3.1
After much deliberation I decided to get a Xoom. I am located in UK but undecided as to get the UK version or US version. Read on the web that the the US version version is better supported & updates are quicker.
Are they any significant hardware differences between the two versions?

Are you getting the wifi-only version? then no hardware difference and you can set locale.
If 3G version, there are some differences but I think there may be workarounds.
UK wifi you can flash the US images anyway pretty easier and basically have a US xoom
I bought a brand new UK Xoom from Costco for only £287.98 inc vat. Has 90 day return policy & 2yr warranty. Time to start playing.
at least uk should have 3.1 now...?
not too far behind
Hi guys,
I'm interested in getting this device but its only available in 16gb from what I can see in the UK.. that's too small for me, I can't rely on streaming all the time.
Has anyone bought one from one of the HK sellers? I don't know the dangers in doing this but they seem reputable.. I'm not sure how else I can get a 32gb model!
Hello
I've looked all over the net and can't find answers to these questions. Maybe someone can help?
1) are there any standalone smartwatches that use sim cards? i want to be able to use whatsapp and get sports scores without needing a phone.
some smartwatches seem to have gps but not Internet, Internet but no appstore etc. very confusing.
sony smartwatch 3 was perfect if it had a sim slot.
only found Samsung gear s and lg urbane 2 that have sim slots. Samsung gear s sold out and runs tizen, and lg urbane is ridiculously priced at apple customers level.
2) are there any chinese smartwatches running Android that can do the above? that i don't know of?
3) are there any chinese smartwatchs running Android that can be flashed to run android wear?
4) i saw these articles last year of a $49 realtek chip mt2601 smartwatch running Android 4.4 on it, but can't find it being sold anywhere even a year later?
thanks
Hi,
I've been tempted by the Axon 7 for some time now having seen it in Beijing, and was excited to see it demoed in the ZTE Demo truck that went to our local shopping centre, presuming that it would be released imminently. Unfortunately, it hasn't appeared and since the mini version *has* appeared (Car Phone Warehouse), I presume it isn't going to be released at all.
So, I have been wondering what my options are. Is it plausible to buy one when I'm next in China and use it easily in the UK? I'm reasonably literate with phones and flashing/etc, so I could perhaps do that too, if it is an option. Does the Axon 7 in China have all the same hardware features as would be expected in the UK? I'm particularly thinking of things like NFC for Android Pay - NFC isn't used much at all in China, so it would be (almost) sensible for them to leave that off phones sold there, but it is something I would want. I would certainly want the Play Store and such like.
I have used a Chinese phone in the UK and successfully installed the Play Store on it (and it had an Intel CPU so it wasn't completely straight forward). It was also a ZTE phone (Geek v975) as it happens.
Any advice on what to do?
Max.
PS. My main reason for the Axon 7 is the front-facing speakers. However, other than not allowing *both* microsd *and* 2nd SIM, it is pretty much spot-on (note that HTC One X9 has a dedicated microsd slot and great front-facing speakers, but I can't find one that isn't locked to CMCC, and it doesn't seem to be so well thought of on this forum, though I see it does have a forum so I'll ask there too).
Axon 7 is a greate deal of hardware.
Of course you can use Chinese version on UK, but you have to flash Global rom and modem.
I myself own a Chinese version, but I flash US rom, because chinese rom is lack of play store and full of crappy app
Hi David
I did exactly what you are thinking about. I'm typing this reply from a 128gb Chinese zte axon 7. I bought from Ali express. When you but from china the seller will root the phone to enable Google play store. That's fine but it screws up obtaining the OTA updates. I can walk you through how to overcome this and get onto 7.1.1. No root nothing like that. My advice it's easy and you can save a packet getting a great phone.
Currently you can pick up an axon 7 for 270. Job done.
I'm running my 128gb Cuba version as well. I have 2 sims and an sd card running on it. There's a few threads on how to go about it. There's not much that needs doing apart from installing Google on the phone. Everything is simple. Just use the search function and you will get everything you want.
