After update to OReo I am not able anymore to select from hotspot advanced options the frequency of the wifi. Does this happen to you as well? IS there a work around?

My phone supports dual SIM. And supports all international major bandwidth. Think you should be getting your September update soon.

As I sit here and wait for 2.2.2 for my N1, it occurs to me I know nothing about the OTA process. A quick search of XDA reveals some of the same questions but few answers. Here's some things I'd like explained:
- How does the rollout process work?
- Are they controlled by HTC or Google or Tmobile?
- How does the selection of IMEIs work?
- How are the carriers involved in the distribution process?
- Is country of residence a factor?
- Does the update process work faster over WiFi? Or maybe require a cellular data connection?
- What does *#*#CHECKIN#*#* do exactly?
- What does clicking Settings...About Phone...System Updates do?
- Is the signing and structure of the update package understood?
- Would I get an OTA if I had no cellular data plan (only WiFi)?
Can anyone point me to a thread/page/wiki that has these answers?

Google puts the update on their server, your phone checks in for updates every once in a while. If the Google servers tell your phone there is an update, it downloads it and prompts you to install it.

100% Google controlled

No one knows for sure. Seemingly random unless you have one of the "Holiday" Nexus Ones which seem to get preferential treatment to update first. Not always the case though.

Aside from the data being downloaded across their network, the carriers are not involved in any way with the Nexus One's update distribution.

I don't believe so. It goes off your IMEI and whether Google has chosen you.
- Does the update process work faster over WiFi? Or maybe require a cellular data connection?

That depends on the speed of your wifi or 3G connection. It is like downloading any other file off the internet (wifi will probably be faster).
- What does *#*#CHECKIN#*#* do exactly?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It forces your phone to check Google's servers for an update. But, if your IMEI isn't in the approved pool that the update is being sent to, it will NOT cause your phone to get the update ahead of time. IMO, the checkin code is worthless as you will almost always see the update file posted here long before your phone will tell you there is an update.
- What does clicking Settings...About Phone...System Updates do?

That only lists updates your phone has already downloaded and are ready to apply. It does not check for new updates.

Oh, and one more thing. You have posted this in the wrong forum. This forum is not for questions. The forum labeled "Nexus One Q&A" would have been the appropriate forum to start this thread in.
I have a korean nexus and it got updates which slighty different from stock rom, i think it maded by kt itself, not google.
My opinion is thats because its a operator model. And yours t-mobile nexuse one wouldnt be one of the first wholl recieve ota.
Btw my korean nexus stll didnt recieved FRG83D
There are no operator models in the US, only Vodafone in Europe and KT in Korea have them.
The updates of the operator ones still come from Google, but they're delayed for testing/modification by the networks.

Yes, but I can't find any reason to NOT give the option to manually chceck for updates. I had that option in stock android 2.1 on the Milestone, so it can't be to difficult if Moto Europe lazy devs could do that. Am I missing something or it's just illogical?
Hm. Maybe google didn't want hteir servers to be DDoS'd when new update arrives

Hi Rusty, how do define operator models? I have FRG83D installed! Before that I had FRF91 (Vodafone)! Is my phone still a operator model? In which way does it effect the OTA process?
Unless you've deliberately made the effort to switch to the untouched Google firmware, you'll still have the Voda variant.
What this means is you will receive updates much later than the Google bought handsets, if you tried to install the 2.2.2 update (FRG83G), you'll find that it will fail.

Thanks Rusty!
it's really a hard work to wait OTA with google's official version. So I can't wait and just flash a lot of vendor room from the XDA.
the "checkin" seemed to force the phone to check update...
I've rooted my FRG83D, and received my 2.2.2 yesterday, but failed to go through the update due to not found carhome.apk which I deleted manually...

IMS allows sms to be sent over LTE. Without IMS your texts go through the legacy network and take significantly longer to send and receive than with IMS.

I updated this new firmware using Odin. I was tired of waiting.
The only other phones I've had are the Samsung Vibrant & Note II and I'm kind of hoping you guys can clear this up for me.
What is the difference between the different "G920I" versions. I understand the difference between the G920 variants (I/T/V/etc..) made for specific carriers/regions but I don't understand what the different variants of the G920I mean (which have different build numbers).
I am looking here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G920I/
Can any of these firmwares be flashed on any G920I version? I thought the G920I version would be the same internationally but I'm not sure why some devices are being updates and others are not...can someone clarify?
Thanks.

We were all waiting for the new update to come but Once more Samsung has manage to destroy some things
One of them is screen auto light adjustment... At least at Exynos AQG5 version
Before the update you could just adjust the bar wherever you like and then with one off - on to auto switch you have return to full auto light adjustment...
Now this is impossible
With auto on if you move the bar this setting is saved like the ideal auto lighting condition and stays that way...that means that auto lighting is working good but from the base of your previous adjustment and not full stock auto.. If you deactivate and activate again the auto switch nothing happens because of the previous "saved condition"

Also, does anyone know if I'll get any bloatware if I flash the Vodafone version?

My carrier's Sky Mobile, who 'piggyback ' off the O2 network, but I don't get any O2 bloat.
My version is XEU If that makes a difference, the wierd thing is that on Updato it showed a date for XEU of the 14th of July, but I only got it on the 24th. Would be interesting to know whether anyone from O2 has received this yet.
Not sure if flashing Vodafone will install their bloat like inserting their SIMS would.
The UK roll out never makes much sense. Some network firmwares are released before the generic ones, but its not consistent and can change at anytime. The only consistent thing is that EVR (EE) is always last, and usually skips releases entirely, often as many as 3 or 4 releases.

This is how stock Android works. Auto brightness still works, it's just based off where you set it, not where the OS decided it should be.
The service mode code *#2683662# which allows you to select specific Lte bands as well as enable 4 mimo no longer works after the update, just says not supported, anyone have any workarounds or reasons why?

10.5.8 was dated 14th may.. is very old firmware update....
10.5.8 was pulled in North America. They just released 10.5.9 and it only disables the colour filter camera.
There have been a few, there is an app on the play store called OnePlus updater, it works by identifying your device model and then searching for an update.
I didn't get 10.5.8 but the updater did.
You click update and it'll download it (good speeds)
Once compete, push it to the root of your storage.
The click system update in settings and choose local update.
Click the file
Allow to finish.
I've done this twice now and it's been flawless, no loss of data, no changes to device details.
I'd recommend it..
If you're rooted, i couldn't say what way you should update..with the fingerprint issue etc you have to be careful.

Well no., you can actually reactivate the photochrome lens using a few tricks, there's already a thread about it. Which will evolve and get easier.
I promise you it actually does work..
Try taking pictures of all the remotes in your house and sooner or later you'll get to see through one or some of them, a UK virgin TV remote allows you to see through its back cover.
I'm sure there are more things you can see through.
Also not sure if you know where to activate the lens but just incase.
Open camera

Slide along to the right, the last filter.
