Just as it says in the topic, is there any OFFICIAL update to the T-Mobile UK version of the MDA Compact (Magician)? Still running 1.01 here
I'd rather use an official update for my phone, rather than a rip. Especially as I don't actually own a card reader so dumping another ROM to my device isn't actually doable for me ATM anyway
If not, anyone know why not, or if there are plans for the future? There's an official DE one, so you'd think they remember they sell the damn phone in more countries than Germany!

Yes, i'd like to see this information also. I know the instructions to apply roms are available, however i would like to know that T-Mo UK actually support and roll these things out (and therefore have backup support available)
There was news that T-Mobile were releasing a patch at the end of last month. As they are now shipping Compacts with the newer ROMS. I haven't heard if it's out as yet. I just keep checking the website as it should be out any time now.

Well.. I've just phoned em up and asked em, but the girl I spoke too could find no information in her email about any upcoming updates to the ROM...
But then, how often do CS reps get told what's going to happen!
I shall continue to hope, but really, there is NO need to keep us hanging like this, not if they want us to bloody stay!
I called T-Mo also. They gave me a number of a 'manufacturer' which was,
0871 22 30 217
or
0871 22 30 218
Thats the HTC Europe repairs number.
Who did not answer the phone on either number. :evil:
I'm running out of ideas now
E-mailed T- mobile customer services about the release date for the patch and got this reply:
Thanks for your email.
Unfortunately we have no launch date for this as of yet.
Thanks and Regards
Which means that there appears to be an upgrade in the pipeline, but they're just very slow about getting it organised!
Thanks

What i think we should do is this
Someone draft up a Standard letter of Complaint about this, IE all the other makers can handle it, WHY CANNOT YOU
then we all send it in to T-mobile, and see if that helps....
they must have the update cause the new ones are been shipped with it
P.S if anyone has the new version, can they please dump it somewhere on the FTP site please

well fellow uk'ers... it's OFFICIAL...
T-Mobile Tech Department ARE USELESS.
There has been much speculation of a forthcoming upgrade for the MDA Compact, not only because of the countless issues, but to also provide the Blackberry service, something I was personally looking forward to...

http://www.t-mobile.net/CDA/t-mobil...yearid-2516-monthid-3535,en.html?w=1024&h=603
As you will see in the above links, it was mentioned at the end of last year, that this would be AVAILABLE for the MDA Compact. Try a google search...
SO, phoned up the so-called "Tech Dept" at T-Mobile UK, and you guessed it, didn't have a clue. Furthermore, they said "there wasn't enough RAM / storage for this facility" :? :shock:
If anyone has more success than me, then please let us know.. :roll:
I didn't see this posted but a friend/source of mine says that AT&T will be releasing the Fuze in the states November 3rd for $300 after $100 rebate.
Flame on if I missed this as obvious news
Date for ATT Fuze
Hello, Release is listed as October 23 for the Fuze release. ATT is releasing the Omnia around that date as well, I do believe the O is on the 21st.
Jon/Beachboyde
Still a close date. This is based on sales sheet information from today.

Read the entire thread. There is a stock sheet saying 23rd. Regardless, it's getting close. As far as the thread in this section, you're only a month or so late =p

ive been keeping up with that fuze thread since it started and the fuze thread before that. i saw the sheet with the 23rd on it thank you
are you the same person who put on engadget the 3rd with no evidence?
Really guys, really? Are you going to get on this kid for posting useful info when all you have are unreliable dates from a sheet (check the releases of the other phones, they don't all match up)? I'd definitely believe his November 3rd date.

Thanks for the support.
Sadly, no, I did not post on engadget and have only posted here. I don't have proof other than the text from my manager buddy who said he got a price/release date sheet and the Fuze was on it for Nov. 3rd.
I'm not a newb and didn't go around flailing about with this date. Just posting some info I got is all.
wow, people are gettin' grumpy lol fella releases some honest info, and get shat upon lol.
Hurry up ATT, the junkies in this forum are startin' to itch...
p.s. @OP, TY for the info! <3
Instead at looking at sheets or taking people's word for it I'd rather believe my local ATT cooperate store which tells me they will have the phone avaiable one week after their training on the 16th of this month. Putting the release date at the 23rd.
Earlier the better but I trust corporate stores as much as the government.
well if it doesn't come out until Nov.3 then that puts it close to the release time of the Touch HD. I still haven't made up my mind on whether to get the fuze just for 3G or get the Touch HD and use it on Edge like my Touch pro now and enjoy a much larger screen and better camera.
Nov 3rd seem like it could be true i dont see why people or bashing on him for giving us some info...i remember the diamond had a release date that everyone thought was true but it didnt release until a couple weeks later for sprint...all we should care about is that its actually will come out for ATT...oct 23 and nov 3 thats less than 2 weeks apart from one another...thanks for the info by the way
I'm only saying that giving info without proof is why everyone is upset. By the way the guy waiting for the Pro or the HD thats an easy one Touch Pro since the US will NEVER get a Touch HD in the US, it's already been officially said that there will be no touch HD coming to the US. Also I'm not sure if some have had bad expierences with cooperate stores in the past but my store last year gave me a date for the TyTn II release last year and they had it in stock a day early so yea I'm inclined to believe them, the NYC cooperate store near my house is usually very reliable and don't guess release dates like some other places.

I'm not trying to start a fight and am glad that the 23rd may be a possibility too.
I wouldn't be myself if I didn't say this though...where is YOUR proof You can't get on my case with 'well my store told me this'.
I mean this in the lightest of moods, so don't get angry...besides, after reading, it looks like this device suffers from the same "it's a business device, not a media device BS" that I got with my Tilt...and I won't go on that train again.
Well, if it comes on the 23rd then at&t will beat sprint out of the gate as the sprint version has been pushed to Nov 2nd. Plus, I have not seen any official previews of the fuze anywhere on the net. Or did I miss something..? The sprint version has youtubes all over the web with official previews.

Yes, and at the time that sheet was released Sprint's Touch Pro was set to release on the 16th. Sprint's got pushed back to November 2nd, and I believe the exclusivity still plays a role in the fact that they're the first carrier to get it, so AT&T may have had to push their date back to the 3rd. It makes perfect sense, and the training dates wouldn't be delayed if they already had them set up.

exclusivity i believe doesnt push others back when one carrier delays theirs.
like how att keeps delaying their bold im pretty sure other carriers can bring them out withint the time frame specified when att originally should have had it out
I've been waiting for wirefly to do preorders but their facebook team said there will be no preorders.
"We have chosen not to have a preorder for the Samsung Galaxy S4. However, we will still start selling the device on each carriers official launch dates. Here is a great site to view some the latest Galaxy phones out there: http://bit.ly/OasIoB and thanks for stopping by our Facebook page!
"
I have asked them to see if they will let us order a few days before and have a release date delivery (as they always done it the past) but no response. I may be taking my business to costco now.
update: (response to when I asked if we can get a release date)
"Wirefly Hi Eric, We will have the phone available for purchase on launch day. We will start shipping phones as soon as they are available for purchase, but if the phone is launching on a Saturday, Monday would be the soonest you would be able to receive the phone depending on the shipping method you select. Let us know if there is anything else that we can answer for you.

Agh that hurts. From my experience, Wirefly has the best deals more often than not... But I'd still rather wait a few more days and save money

I think I may have to agree with you on that.. assuming they charge $199.99 instead of $249.99. I'll wait to see what Wirefly brings!
got my rebate and not only that but because they took longer than normal they sent me a email with another 25 bucks all for using the Samsung pay app
So I got an email stating that I did not qualify for this because I signed up for another promo that's crazy man I haven't received my TV or my headphones and wireless charger

Same here! I did mine back in December and still nothing
Same here
Sent from my HUAWEI P8max using Tapatalk
They have a new status checker page if you haven't seen it. https://promos.samsungpromotions.com/info/checkstatus
I submitted my offer for the TV on the 23rd of December. I did get an email from them on 12/28.
"Your Offer claim has been approved.
Your TV will arrive in approximately 4-6 weeks."
Great! Around that time I also submitted for the "Gifts of the season" deal to get the wirless charger/headphones. I figured I wouldn't get both but thought I'd try. I got an acceptance email but never got an approved email on that. No big deal.
Now when I logged into the above site yesterday it shows all the deals I applied for. For the TV it says
"We’ve checked our records, and it looks like you’ve already redeemed a Samsung Offer with this device. Unfortunately, this offer cannot be combined with any other offer and we cannot approve your submission."
WTH I already got an approval email on that!
Then for the gifts of the season I get "Your submission has been approved and your gift has been processed and is currently in route".
So they want to give me the gifts of the season but not the TV even though I submitted the TV form nearly a week before I submitted the Gifts of the Season form and I got an approval email for the TV. One of the big reasons I got this phone was for the TV deal to replace an older one in our bedroom. I really don't need another wireless charger or more headphones. I filled out a contact us form them from the above site and facebook messaged them. Nothing so far!
Sorry for the long post. They seem really, really disorganized with their promotion fulfillment. There are a number of threads on the android central forum that shows all the crap people have gone though to get their promotional items.
damn it man

Same here at first I didn't qualify but I didn't let that stop me so I called and manually done it received 125$ and purchased a Samsung gear vr and a wireless charger for a few extra dollars
Yeah, my wife and I have been struggling with Samsung too. They were not going to send our headset & charger for the same reasons you spoke of, but after both of us sent nastygrams to the company, they showed up in 2 days. Now, we have both been declined for the TV after we were notified it was approved. It's shameful to see Samsung stoop to these kinds of tactics. They WILL lose customers over this.
A few multiple small details/questions.
First, did any of you pre-order and then go to register for the free (or paid) VR set and send a picture of a receipt only to get an email saying the date was too late? (Total mistake on my part of course, I thought they would grab all the info they needed from the barcodes on the receipt, didn't realize that they were taking into account the "order" date vs. the date I went in store to pre-order) I got an email back the next day saying I had one chance to re-submit with the correct info, and that's what I did. (This all happened on the 21st when I got the phone, and resubmitting on the 22nd). Anyways, now it says my registration is approved but it says that my review is still in progress, almost 2 weeks later. I'm just wondering if anybody made the same mistake and is in the same boat and if you got a response saying your review has been approved.
Secondly, pure confusion by me on this part... I can log into my Samsung account on the phone and also in the Samsung Shop app, but when I go to the Samsung website it doesn't allow me to log in. (I've reset my password and I've tried it on the Galaxy Chrome and Samsung Internet as well as Chrome on my laptop) I'm not sure if the samsung website account differs from the mobile or not, but I would like the ability to check/look at my pre-order progress on the web as well.
(Sorry, I know these seem more like Samsung questions but the pre-order thing is really bothering me and I'd like to know if anyone was in the same boat)
I'm in the same boat actually and the same situations with the rejection and resubmission. Mine still says accepted but not shipped. I guess I'll just have to be patient.
