Hi All
I have my Xoom it rocks, now I am using it in the UK with wireless only, not an issue knew that it would never work on a network here, however is there a way to turn the CDMA off as I cant get any UK only apps from the market it still see's verizon even though it is not activated or in the US.
I tried Market enabler but it does not seem to work with the xoom yet.
Any ideas.
Thanks

Interesting... I thought the Market identifies users based on their location. I don't think that the problem is CDMA. I believe there must be something else that identifies the device as US version.
I wonder if the WIFI only version has the same problem? I ordered a WIFI only Xoom from US, but i haven't received it yet.
What apps are UK only? I wonder if i could download them...
EDIT: I did some searching and it seems that Market checks location and ROM version. So you probably need to change your ROM version, I have no idea if that is possible.

I only noticed it when i tried to get the Sky News App, tried on the web based version and said my device was not allowed it which explained why i could not find it in the app store. I Just downloaded the APK instead.
At least Iplayer uses IP address would be pissed if no BBC iplayer...LOL

I had a replacement Xoom sent to me after my last Xoom took a nap and never woke up. Anyway I was downloading an app yesterday and I was using the browser and looking at the Market through the browser. When I clicked to download the app it said that I had a Verizon Xoom.
How can I tell? The Xoom I have doesn't say VZW on it. My Xoom is flashed to Moray so I don't know if there's something.
Mine is from Sprint but it is also mentioned as Verizon Xoom in My market account.
I originally purchased a WiFi only Xoom. Could it be they sent me a VZW one by mistake? Does that mean I can also send it in to get the 4G upgrade when available since I have the VZW Xoom? Do I even have a VZW Xoom? Did you confirm you have a Sprint Xoom?

Mine is wi-fi only xoom
Not possible that you will be given 4g lte upgrade.4g lte upgrade is for Verizon 3g customers ONLY.
Mine bought from Sprint that's why I know it is from it(though on box there is no where sprint name/logo)
It seems anroid market classification is at fault.
Oh ok. I see.
OK just observed that while installing apps through PC android market there are two options Motorola Xoom and Verizon Motorola Xoom(VMX) for selecting device.
If you choose VMX then in your account it will be shown as VMX
Guys first thing is, did you root your Xoom:
If yes then if you also flashed one of the custom roms it uses a build.prop file from a VZW tablet. This is a text file which has information about your Xoom which is picked up by the market. Thus making the market think your have a VZW Xoom. My Xoom read Wifi Xoom prior to flashing any of the Tiamat roms
Now if no then I have no clue since if its stock your build.prop would read your exact model in the marketplace. Xoom Wifi, VZW Xoom etc....
Just as a side note some people were changing there build.prop files to try and trick the market into thinking they had Netflix compatible devices...
Hope that helps

True.
After flashing international version of stock I am getting message that app is compatible with my all devices:
MX
MZ604
VMZ
OOPs I have one only.
I own Verizon Pixel, but I use it on T-Mobile. Maybe someone who knows can comment if my device will get that new build(NHG47K) or this is strictly for users that use Verizon sim.

Would be interesting to see if you will get the new build: NHG47K
Verizon Pixel on Verizon with N2G47E as well though I did the OTA manually rather than wait for it to appear. I do this every month. Have had no issues with the phone.
Much prefer to do updates on my schedule rather than on someone else's in case there is issues with the update.
got mine through verizon. dloaded and installed nhg47k yesterday. nothing bad to report.
I got a Google play store pixel and I use it on Verizon I also received the Verizon build is there any differences

So looks like users on Verizon network are getting this build. Link in the first post shows change log.
It does work pretty good so far as I can tell very smooth
I updated and my VOLTE is broken . I factory reset and still nothing. Verizon said it's a known issue
Does anyone have a download link to the Verizon specific OTA, please?

A couple of things that may help you out on the VoLTE option, including bringing back HD Voice calling and Video Calling. Same thing happened to me on the new build. I went into the the *#*#4636#*#* Phone information menu and ensured that VoLTE Provisioned and other options are turned on. For me I need to decline the HD feature and re-enable...for you probably a call to Verizon. Takes just a few moment to do and didnt have to reboot. Viola' HD Voice and Video Calling were back. Good luck

The only difference between N2G47J and NHG47K is the radio image (modem.img). NHG47K has a newer radio.
Sounds bout right
The K update has done nothing for the weak cell signal. Time will tell if it does anything about dropped and missed calls.

I never had such problems even with old firmware versions. I know that some people have them, but it looks like these issues are location dependent, so I wouldn't expect updates to fix it.
Just got an update notification on my S8 Active. Looks like oreo maybe. 1.2gb
It is Oreo!
Sweet!

I posted the update that you can update using odin
don't get the this one Baseband version: G892AUCU2BRC5. Even though I tried to factory reset but I am still getting issues with the navigation bar.
Still waiting for the newest update like from Tmobile. I will never buy any AT&T ****ty phone again. Hard, slow to get an update, require a relative ATT Sim card.

Yeah...you know, you can install T-Mobile firmware over the AT&T device. Also, that nav bar issue is singular, meaning just you. so what ever it is you're doing, doesn't happen to anyone else. Another thing, if you live somewhere where a USA carrier doesn't provide service, DO NOT buy that phone. Plain and simple, only buy what your service provider or country offers. If you don't you lose out on bands, sometimes LTE entirely, Slow LTE because of the advanced technology only being able to be used on the carrier for the device, and as with the case of AT&T, software updates. The only reason you people are able to even have OTA zips AT ALL is because AT&T has **** security with their OTA server. The only other method to get updates would be Odin firmware, which AT&T doesn't RELEASE, it has to be leaked by companies with a GSPN account, which BTW cost ALOT of money, so the firmware itself is a solid $20 for those who do buy it to share to people here on XDA. And just so everyone knows, this method of pulling OTAs for you people will be patched because Samsung has had enough of their test builds getting leaked by some peachy ***** like me that pull their OTAs from AT&T. However long it takes, who knows, but it's gonna happen. By the way, most of this isn't directed just at you so you understand that, this is to the public in general. Sorry guys but it's true.

I just got the new update from ATT, I have to borrow my friend ATT sim like usual. But the new version still has not fixed yet.
I also understand what did you say for the nav bar issues above, but mine is different, not the same results on Google search.
For example:
-Youtube or Google maps is auto minimize after 2 minutes or more on screen.
-Games are automatically back to "waiting screen" in any game.
-All require fingerprints applications automatically back to fingerprint require screen while I was using it.
So I know the issue is the "back" button, I did try to change its location, hide the nav bar, but the same issues. So I know that it does not come from the physical, it is the software.
I did buy an S6 Active 3 years ago so I know the update issues that I have to face with, but Tmobile released their S8 Active too late and I did not know that.

the new base version is G892AUCS2BRD4. That the BLv2, but ATT website always updates late, the customer services suck. The ATT new version always release after Tmobile version only 1 to 3 days, but the web needs almost 2 weeks for that. So I always check in Tmobile first

This firmware is nougat, so whatever problem you're having with the nav bar if it wasn't there in previous updates, this should fix it. Then you can OTA whenever and see if it's just Oreo you don't like, which is fine because you can stay on nougat. And also root I believe.
Oh wait, are you saying you want the BRD4 or whatever update?

Hello there. I've recently purchased the US version since I live in USA but I noticed wifi calling doesn't work on mine and I couldn't find a way to enable it. I have not called T-Mobile yet but I will eventually. I'll give an update later.
Have you had any luck with it?

i havent gotten it yet, since i use wifi calling a lot at home due to not the greatest signal. if it doesnt support, then i might have to pass, which is a shame since its such a nice phone otherwise.
