Going to get my grubby hands on the NS sometime next 2 weeks. I am not in the US. Would I be able to get the OTA? I guess the questions is the OTA device dependent or T-mobile dependent or location dependent?
Happy holidays guys

good question, the N1 seemed to have separate OTA packages
I have it with Mobilicity and I haven't received the update yet.
I'm in the uk. Upgraded yesterday and not received ota yet... including trying the "checkin" numerous times.
Not got the new market yet either.

I don't know for sure, but I would assume the answer would be yes.
Good news is that you can always manually update and that is a fairly straight forward process. See here for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884097
I'm in the UK and picked my SIM free NS up yesterday evening. I got the OTA within an hour of switching it on.

Turned my phone off for about 5-6 hours ( charging), booted and bam right there it popped up...

bought the phone in the US and I'm in Belgium (on Proximus) and I got the OTA yesterday evening.
Sweet, so I guess its device dependent, instead of country or service provider.. nice Thanks guys and happy holidays to all
I'm reconfirming it is not location or provider dependent.
I'm in Montreal on Videotron and I got the update this morning.
it's device ROM dependant not provider or location
they could, but at this stage i doubt they will enable IP filtering
Ahh, so how would google know to send the ota? Each time the rom is switched on, it sends a check update to google?

I received it yesterday evening.
+ 1 to the auto-update. Once I had the NS linked to a WiFi connection, it asked to be updated. I'm in the southern UK.
I am extreeemely eager to get the nexus s - but I am based in Dubai.
Cud somebody please confirm if the update will be available regardless of country / location?
[or better still, if someone from the middle east has already gotten the update on their N-S?]
i am dying to get the NS and chuck my iPhone out the window...but i need a bit more confidence to jump on board and buy it esp. b/c it has not been released in this country...
I got the notification a few days back, in India.
I guess i could rename this thread to the non-us nexus S club I am in Brunei myself.. waiting on mom to arrive in 4 days from LA
Looks like we will be getting a 850 / 1900 HTC Desire s!

I'd expect a late April/early May release. Nothing has been mentioned specifically in regards to it, but I know it's not far off.
Spoke to an employee at the Telstra shop yesterday, and he told me that it would definitely be in this month (April), or if not this one, then next (May).
Lets hope that he knew what he was talking about and its not long to wait.
do we know if it will have 850 AND 1900 for 3g? cause sometimes they could just include the 850 and 2100 for down there. i'm on ATT in the US so was hopeful i could get this phone!!
Hi all,
Couple of questions if you can help at all?
I opted to buy the Galaxy Tab Plus as a wedding present for my brother on the basis of it having an IR Blaster. However, the one I received doesn't have it and it is definitely the above model. I've bought it through a UK website (Pixmania), checking bothered US and UK variants they both should have it. The only country I've found that doesn't have it is Canada and that's adhoc!
Next, in my attempt to update to ICS as well Samsung Kies isn't going beyond the latest firmware for 3.2, which is making me think even more it's an international model as I believe ICS has been rolled it to all of Europe.
I've raised it with Samsung and Pixmania in the hope of resolving, but thought I'd ask the forum if anyone else has had similar issues.
Cheers.

Hi
I got the model from future shop in canada but we don't get ISC update officially for the gt-p6210
Thats the strangest thing, Canada is the only country that I've found through the web that has these missing.
Annoyingly I've know no idea how to check what region it belongs too!
I've raised it with both Samsung and Pixmania and will report my findings.

The IR blaster is region specific and is also missing from some European and Asian models too as its not compatible with their electronics, its not just Canada. The only way to be sure you get one that has it is to get a U.S. P6210.

Nope, The Asian models have it too.. the official international model is - GT-P6200 and it has IR blaster as well..
Canada is not the only country left without ICS, even Australia hasnt received official ICS support yet..
but it doesnt matter, we have XDA to help us out for that..
Welcome fellow Canadians!
Seeing as the Galaxy Note 3 is going to be released in Canada very shortly (October 4th), I figured we should get some discussion going on where you're buying, and any speculations to price points.
I just got off of a chat with Telus, regarding an email I had received, offering $50 off a device when you sign a contract, OR, stay month-to-month. So you can save a bit of money for those who are purchasing the phone outright, or even signing up for a new contract. You need to call a special sales line: 1-877-279-3900
Also, while she couldn't officially confirm, the rep did tell me that she would strongly suggest I go to a corporate store on Friday.. Obviously this is just in case there are shipping delays (doubtful) but I think that it's quite safe to say that it's coming out on Friday!
Currently, Wind Mobile is the only carrier to officially announce their pricing, but I think that it would be safe to say that the other carriers will be in line (roughly) with Wind.
- WIND 40: $449
- WIND 30: $549
- WIND 33: $549
- WIND 20: $649
- Outright: $749
I was also able to "confirm" with the rep, that the price point for Telus would probably fall around $799, so that isn't too far off of Wind's pricing.
Discuss anything related to the Canadian launch of the Note 3! :laugh:
All I really want to know is if the bootloader will be locked like the US variants or did we escape it again like with the S4?

I just checked out Mobilesyrup's review of the Galaxy S2X and it had an unlocked bootloader. If the S4 had an unlocked one as well, I'd be very hopeful that the Note 3 is unlocked as well, only time will tell! 4 more days..

Which International Model Works Best In Canada N900 or N9005?
Hi Guys
As the title states, which model works best in Canada specifically on Bell, the N900 or N9005 model? Also will I get full LTE with the N9005 model? I've tried researching them and keep finding different answers. Sorry if this topic has been covered prior. Just sold my Xperia Z Ultra C6833 to jump over to the N3. Or should I wait for the Canadian release on Bell which I believe is this Friday Oct.4th?
Thanks Again

Im having the same problem myself. Wondering which models will work on Rogers with LTE? Its difficult to understand the band and frequency numbers. I have never had to research a phone like this before I bought it. Some of the numbers match and some dont, does that mean it'll work? Or does it have to have every number matching?
But ya, my question is the same, will an unlocked N9005 LTE work on Rogers?
You can't quote me on this, but if you're looking for LTE, then the only version hat works would be the Qualcomm N9005. I believe the N9000 is the octa core 3G international version.

Hey AllGamer, nice to see you back from the Galaxy S2 days
I found the Wind Mobile pricing from Mobilesyrup: http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/09/28/w...laxy-note-3-on-october-4th-heres-the-pricing/
Bell also announced their pricing today as well, off contract: $799.95 (http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/10/01/bell-samsung-galaxy-note-3-to-cost-799-95-outright/). Which is right around the pricing that the CSR told me yesterday.
Does anyone know for sure, 100%, if the T-Mobile version of the Note 3 will work on Wind? Normally this is the case, but I ask because the T-Mobile version is the snapdragon model whereas Wind is going to be carrying the Exynos model.
I really want the dev support, and from what i gather, dev support is going to be none-existent for the Exynos version? Or is this maybe not going to be as accurate as it is/was for the S4? Or am i wrong about the S4 here too? I just remember reading and hearing that samsung doesn't release source code for the kernel etc for the Exynos chips - which i don't understand fully because I did read a few posts about how samsung had released the source for the Note 3 (or maybe it was the Note 10.1 2014) with the Exynos chip...
can anyone shed light on these issues for me?
Specifically, four questions:
1. T-Mobile Snapdragon phone on Wind Mobile? (Or any other snapdragon phones on Wind?)
2. How does the dev support look like it will be for the Exynos version that Wind Mobile is going to be selling?
3. Does the source code that samsung released for the Exynos model of either the note 3 or note 10.1 2014 mean that they are releasing more source code than they used to for their Exynos chips? Or was this stuff all released for other chips too?
4. Do you guys know if there will be a way to purchase the Note 3 outright from wind if you are not going to be on a new contract? I'm on wind already and i want to keep my existing plan because it's a better deal than any plan they have had since they offered this one, but i obviously want to buy this phone friday... i know with the S3 i had to activate a new plan, but of course then i just threw out the new sim card - worry here is that one wind guy told me that for the first month they may not even allow outright purchases only purchases on the wind tab, in which case i couldn't just throw out the sim card and use my old one could i?

It seems to be $749 off contract, no idea about them selling them only after one month though.

Mobilesyrup just announced the Rogers pricing as well: http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/10/01/rogers-pricing-for-the-note-3-lumia-1020-and-galaxy-s4-mini/
$750 outright, $249 on 2yr contract.
I imported my N900 as soon as I could
I'm on Bell, everything is perfect. I have LTE coverage in my area but I can live without, no lte mean better battery and that what I need.
I did the same thing in the past for my Galaxy S4, I imported the Octa core too.
Been playing with it for almost a week now, awesome device!

Hey members,
Good News for those waiting to get Update. G Pro just got first Update with KitKat as GPro2. Problem is We have to buy this update for around 600$ again.
:highfive: for one who will buy this update from LG.
Anyway News here:
LG spilled the beans on the announcement and the name of the successor of the LG Optimus G Pro. The upcoming phablet will go official in February (MWC in Barcelona is likely) as the LG G Pro 2.
Unsurprisingly, LG removed the ‘Optimus’ moniker from the name of the yet to be seen handset. Like the latest batch of high-end smartphones from the Korean manufacturer, the device will launch as simply a member of the 'G' lineup.
In case revealing only the name of an upcoming device appears to be an odd move by LG, we must point that this isn’t the first time the company pulls such a trick. Last year, the manufactuer revealed the name of its current flagship, the LG G2 in a similar fashion.
Source: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g_pro_2_announcement_and_name_get_confirmed-news-7666.php
New Images of leaked pics:
We have great devs! someone will figure out how to port this over to our phone after they look over all the specs and such
Great news, however LG has a history of not supporting their phones for very long, however if it has Dev support and is what the G2 was to the S4 then I might have to get it regardless
Damn you beat me to it @NaveenKumarXDA I just read about this over at Engadget. Seems like they "promise" to release it next month but what I want to know is how the future of that phone will look on Us carriers hopefully it isn't single carrier variant.

I have the Korean version in the UK and it works fine.
You can delete all the Korean apps that come pre installed so that's good.
There are a few tweaks I made myself to make the phone better such as removing the Korean roaming clock from the lockscreen etc... just to make the phone a bit more English friendly. You do need root for that which is easy enough to do.
The phone will work on EE and Three's 4G networks only. It won't work on O2 or Vodafone 4G but will work on every network 3G and 2G fine.

What's the number of your Korean version? Is it a D838 (the "International" version, I was told) or something else?
Am a bit concerned as have ordered a D838 and I'm on O2...
And does your G Pro 2 have the TV aerial built in??? I've seen some models which do...

The Korean Version has the model number F350.
The Asian version (Hong Kong) has the model number D838 and was released after the Korean version.
Unfortunately the D838 only supports 1800Mhz and 2600Mhz and not the 800Mhz that O2 use for 4G. So the phone will work fine on 3G and 2G but it will not work on 4G at all.
You'll probably want to wait for the European model to launch if you want to use O2. Otherwise only EE and Three will work with both the D838 and F350 on 4G in the UK.
And yes, the Korean version (F350) is the one with the aerial. The Asian version does not have an aerial and is the same look as the European/American variants will be.
