Hi Guys,
I have imported an HTC Desire from the UK and I live in Australia. I am currently useing my Optus 3g sim card and everything is working well. My concern is missing out on the FROYO 2.2 update as I am not sure if Optus will allow it. The main problem here in Australia is that the national carrrier Telstra has a monopoly on the desire for six months, (hence my import) and is a crap carrier. I don`t know if the ota update that comes through Telstra will have been mutilated with some of their software. Will there be a downloadable version available from HTC website? If so, how hard would it be for a novice like me to install it on my phone?
Thank you for your time and consideration of these questions.
Hi just wondering if anyone in the uk has used the company Cash4 phones and been paid out without any problems
hi people
I have had a htc one and i updated ages ago to kit kat on three network, but not so long ago i broke the phone replacing it with the htc mini which I'm very pleased with as i prefer the size. Only thing is i brought a girly blue mini as it was a good deal for £200 brand new, it was unlocked and updated when i got it. today i found a deal on a brand new silver white version which i do prefer and pleased i brought it, but it was locked to EE which i unlocked for £2.50 from ebay what a deal.
I been trying to get it updated but found out EE haven't even pushed it through yet, can i flash this phone with a uk three Rom??? is this available??
Are all the phones the same apart from the custom network firmware and rom????
cheers j
Hi there, I am in the UK and as my user name suggests I currently have a Moto Razr Maxx which I bought a few years ago, it was an imported phone from outside the UK and because of its non-EFIGS firmware build the OTA updates were withheld leaving me stuck on ICS4.0.4. I am now looking to update my hardware and the Nexus 5 looks the way to go. What I do NOT want is to fall into the same trap again and have another phone that will not get the OTA updates.
I have sourced a nexus 5 reseller (Google claim out of stock for a long time now) but the phone is imported form 'overseas' it is a LG-D821 model which is sold as the 'international' version. Can anyone tell me if the Nexus phone firmware is regionalised like my Motorola or if I will get all the updates without the need to go the route of ROMs etc?

There are only 2 models. North America D820 and RoW D821. None of them are carrier branded, locked or restricted in any way. They all get OTA's exactly as they are intended, no matter where in the world you are.
Hi Guys.
I've got a sim-free Note3 and I'm using an O2 sim. Yesterday the Lollipop v5.0 was pushed to my device.
Does anyone know if that means that I'll get a further update to 5.01, 5.02, 5.x sometime soon?
Thanks.
Steve

If its an O2 phone you get the O2 update .
Sim is nothing to do with updates .
O2 Android 5 has been available for weeks .
Thanks guys. I've no idea what 'csc' is?
It's not an O2 phone, it's sim-free, I just happen to use an O2 sim with it - does that make a difference?
It might have been available for weeks, but it only got pushed to my phone yesterday.
Thanks
Steve
I highly believe we will get Android M update, officially.
@OP: Just enjoy the 5.0 update. There won't be any 5.0.1 or 5.0.2, at least not very soon. Cause 5.0 has been available for a lot of countries for over two months now, and there is absolutely no scene of 5.0.1 or 2, so better believe that those won't come. I am just happy to see that Samsung finally pushed an update which got rid of that delay while clearing recent apps, however that was just release for one country, but I am sure a wider scale of the same will be released soon.
Thanks guys! That's just what I feared. Just shame that such a great phone lags behind other, older models. My wife's Galaxy S4 is on 5.01!
A phone has a number of codes ( as shown in Kies )
Basically if its a O2 supplied phone it will have an O2 code and O2 are the ones that update the firmware if they want to .
Generic non branded as in UK BTU may or may not be in advance or delayed .
Who gets the upgrade first is very varied and over the years its varied from country to country getting first releases . Usually the non branded gets released well before the branded stuff .
Thanks. I'd read that sim-free unbranded phones were always LAST to get updates. It's confusing!
