I am starting this thread for the G920I model of the S6. Codenamed "Zerofltedv".
Where is G920I Available?
- Singapore
- India
- Australia
- USA
- Latin American countries
- North America
The S6 comes with regional locks for particular countries, And need to be activated with a sim specific for that region.
What is this thread about?
- For discussion.
- Online and local availability.
- Isssue discussion.
- Custom ROM development specific for this variant.
- Pricing
- Accessories
Curious to see which country with the G920I model gets updates first so I can flash that region's firmware in Odin. Australia will obviously be last as usual so I'm keen to get off this firmware ASAP and get onto one that doesn't block auto-rotate in the Gallery app

I got my device today, and there was already an update ready to be installed. BTW just checked my gallery app and it does rotate.

Interesting, are you on Indian firmware?
And regarding the auto rotate, it's been an issue on Samsung phones in Australia for years due to some lawsuit with Apple.

Can you advise your software details as the Australian variant hasn't had an update and I'd be interested to see the difference in software.
I wonder if the Edge has had an update as well?

No details on the changes, but it looks like Indian firmware has a build date of 31 March while everyone else is still the 7th of March.

Telstra is on the 3rd of March:

They have'nt specified anything specific to be non functional, so it will work on all 4G networks.

Yes, I am on the Indian firmware, which came right out of the box, got a small update yesterday thou. If our models are G920I then we should be able to flash any firmware for the same. My question is what is up with the regional locks? will that be a problem?
IS anyone here having the flash always on problem? mine is very dimly lit if you see it in the dark. very very dim, I have to try hard to observe it. Is it a major issue? are your devices doing the same?
am on a singapore version and i dont have the flash always on problem. battery life sucks though, coming from a OPO.

It's because of the crappy samsung apps running in the background .. Knox and ****. My flash is not that lit that it is noticeable... I have to look really hard. Very hard to see.. But it is glowing.. The technology must be this way I think

Apparently it is not a normal feature and samsung has been made aware of this issue and they are working on it. Saw this today on the xda channel.
Whew, just got this today.
Are there any custom ROMs for the S6 that are in development?

Nothing yet. Just the root. No roms.. Should take a month plus for proper custom rom support.

How did that happen! That is very sad to hear.. I haven't rooted my device will root when custom roms are available.
I'm not seeing any traditional update software options in the about phone section. How will we receive Android OS updates on this tablet? Thanks.
Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui
As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Thank you. Those sites also try to force you to open up Facebook page......total b.s.
Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.
Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.
I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.
How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...
Chinese version only perhaps?

Actually it's the September security patch,but I got a notification in the update section. About 256mb. Took about 20 min to complete. I bought my tablet in Thailand.

Do you mean you can now disable the on-screen buttons or what has changed with that update? Thx!
I think that the NOUGAT OTA will be sent together with the new EMUI 5.0 (this version of its ui layer is based on android 7)... Anyone know an approximate date?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

As far as I read not all CPUs are conform with Android 7.0. The M2 has one of them. The CPU of the M3 is conform so i hope we will see the update soon.
So, here in KC, I was curious to see if an update was available for my Sprint S7 Edge to 7.0 and its installing now. No notification or announcement (or I am oblivious to the obvious) from Sprint and my phone is set only to check manually, once I selected to check it came up with a 1628MB download. Mods, please delete if this is in the wrong spot or redundant, but a quick search did not show anything but the beta. I tried to join the beta but was too slow so unless this is a fluke, or I suddenly got included in the beta this looks to be available. I'll delete or update once it is done. UPDATE, G935PVPU4ZPLN Android Version 7.0. Yea..
LGSONE
That's the official 7.0 update came out for the g930p and g935p about 24hrs ago I think

When should we see this update?
I finally broke down and traded in my note7 for the s7 edge...first off not a bad phone at all. Pleasantly supprised actually! When do you think 7.0 or 7.1 will start rolling to us? I have the g935p. Should I just keep searching for it? Anyone else around the Minnesota area get the update yet? Thanks in Advance!

Websites are reporting 7.0 is rolling out to the s7 and s7 edge now starting with beta users and to be on the lookout. I will start manually searching for the update a couple times a day.

me too ... i actually emailed Samsung kidmode team .. (found via their site .. http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/kids-mode/
they replied, not really understanding i had a s7 ACTIVE, or that Nougat was on my phone ..
althou this was a few weeks back, as ive been on the leaked Nougat.... but thought i would email them anyhows !!
but they never replied back after stating that i had the Active, was on nougat, and that i had followed links from their site, and the google play store had sttated not compitable on my version too ..
hope they do get it sorted thou.,.. very much liked it !
even tried to get it via a backup from MM, but didnt work .
The exact response I received too. I've even use Samsung's main contact us page, still no response.
Even my wife's s7 edge can't see kids mode since the nougat update.

You can get a version that does load but it looks like the server side hasn't been updated. This happened with 4.4.4

Correction, the s7 edge does see the app but only in the galaxy apps store. Version is 6.0.28
Now how to get a copy of it of the phone.... hmmm
Spent time with Samsung live chat and they connected to my phone. "I check information and your device is not compatible, a update to the app will allow you to download from the Play Store"
Contacted the Kids Mode support team again, probably one of the slowest response rates out there but still nothing.
I am on a samsung galaxy s10 plus US unlocked set SM975U. Am i supposed to wait longer but I see in the internet that its global release for s10 plus has already began since October..
