It seems that we finally have news when it comes to QWERTY phones. Although it is only being compared to the predecessor, the Droid 4, I guess it will top some of the Photon Q LTE specs. And just look at the battery...it looks massive! I bet it's more than 2000 mAh this time!
Hopefully there's more news in the future...so if anyone sees something, post it here!
Sweetness.
Will probably be Verizon only... oh well. At least there is something on the horizon for QWERTY sliders.
I dunno, in this case I'd hold out some hope given the P-Q was in essence a Droid 4.5 of sorts.
Please have a look at the attached picture. I found this on a Chinese site...the guy's in the settings menu where you see the "about phone". As Model Number there it says: Droid RAZR HD. Could this mean we look at similar specs??? 4,7 inch, 720p, would be sweet...and it's also supposed to be smaller than the former Droids...!
Nah it's just the Razr HD firmware on it (or some modification). It also has ICS firmware. I'd say it's 4.3 or 4.5 inch, not bigger - it's a good size for QWERTY phone.
I'm so happy seeing this. I thought it was cancelled before. If it's released,I will buy it. Hopefully,it's a global phone.
I'd also give it a 4,5" screen. It's the same keyboard as on XT894/XT897. But in comparison the screen seems to be approx. 2mm higher and approx. 4mm wider. So the biggest it can be is 4,5". Me personally would welcome a 4,5" 720p non-RGB-textile screen. Nonetheless I'd skip the Droid 5 when the hardware isn't much better , and I do mean MUCH better, than the XT897. Especially since Verizon phones only support LTE @ 700MHz which is useless outside the States.
Sprint's LTE is also uselss outside states. I think the hope is more for EU version of Droid 5, where the last official QWERTY phone is Motorola Milestone 2 or Sony Xperia Pro. Also this isn't cancelled XT898, that was identical to Photon Q (for AT&T and international).
I'd say Droid 5 will be same platform as Moto X / Moto Droid Ultra.
Yeah I think you`re right on that one. Still, at this moment not worth the upgrade for me. Selling one of XT925/XT894 with an 1.5GHz Krait / Adreno 225 and paying probably a whooooole lotta money for an 1.7 GHz Krait / Adreno 320. Maybe after a year or so when they start popping up on Swappa/Ebay for reasonable prices
its must be the photon q,they are same!
Why take the phone that way? It's a fake!
i believe it has sim slot at right side..

Yessss....
but here will be big problem with unlock it.
from verizon can be unlocked approx 60% of droids (d2g/d3/d4)...on remaining 40% phone say "unlock request unsucessfull".
...and now - with the new USA cellphone unlock law it will be much harder or impossible
Well, the Razr HD / Photon Q family phones can be unlocked with extreme ease + there was no lock on non-US carriers at all
I hope the display is not bigger than 4.3". For me my Photon is a bit too big. If the phone is real....
The Chinese e-bay (taobao) is full with pre-production, demo and what not samples of goods. I have bought Moto XT560 with "not for sale" etched on its bezel and Intel ES CPU which don't have a model number and is combination between two Intel tiers :silly:
So I hope this is really a product under development and not a cancelled prototype.
Well, the ICS on it is weird.
I hope it's a global phone. Don't care if it's only on Verizon or Sprint. Razr HD and Razr M are vzw phones. But,it's easily unlockable.

Sigh... the policies in my country are frustrating at times. Sprint will only activate ESN's from their database... so "unlocking" a Razr M for Sprint would not work, for example.

That sounds bad. Seems like getting tied with a certain carrier. If you unlock your phone and use it with a prepaid carrier like pageplus,will you get blocked or it ended up with a bad ESN?

We're getting them on rogers in Canada . LTE just went live in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal. The Galaxy S2 LTE's are going to come into the stores in the next couple of weeks.

i've a hunch the Rogers version is going to be the Hercules, not the real LTE from Korea
I'm wondering how much power does LTE consume. 3g consumes more power than 2g. What about LTE ?

Hi, I am not particularly familiar with Canadian retailers so are there any retailers in particular that would be good to watch (that one could watch for then order and have sent to the US)
Cheers,

PS For the record, I am not all that interested in the LTE part (on account of the fact that I travel abroad alot) but a faster, ie 1.5 dualcore proc, is definitely of interest.

But why do ppl always need more cpu? Kernel cookers tend to underclock cpu to safe power on same performance level...consumption is already high. And the 0,5inch makes the phone even bigger (it already barely fits into my pocket) my phone is underclocked to 800mhz and undervolted as well. And i see NO differen e while gaming or in the UI....

I am not necessarily looking for the bleeding edge in terms of speed but more for "upgradability" for as long as possible. I have a HTC Kaiser for about 4 years now so when i purchase i want to get something that i don't have to bother worrying about replacing (hardware wise) for awhile... and as one upgrades OS vers one typically needs more mem and cpu.

Great Phones !!!
Will these work on AT&T currently?
as long as it support gsm
is fine
...More specifically, will the3g bands and / or LTE bands work in the US on at&t?
...and does anyone know if these are actually for sale yet in Korea?
Korea strikes again!! they did it with Hyundai, and now with the SGS2. The only thing i like more than my Hyundai is the Korean women. they love the caramel
I had a similar question.....my friend currently resides in Korea and she said she would get the phone for me and ship it to me as they are GSM but my question is......if it is unlocked will it work on T-Mobile 3G or AT&T 3G? Both use different frequencies and any confirmation on that would be good as I'm on T-Mobile and currently have the SG2. If it is compatible with T-Mobile 3G then I will most definitely wire her the money. Call me crazy but I love beast phones like this.

Same thing for me!
I told my korean friend looking for an import version, if it exists.
If it shouldn't have to be like that, which version between skt and lgu+
would be better for european use?
there is no need to import these phones..
they are already being released in North America.
just wait it out for the official launches of LTE networks in canada in the next week. rogers just launched with 2 devices and 1 tablet and bell will be next on nov 4th. the rest will follow suit. and ATT is getting the HD LTE model as well.
save your money and wait.
i already have one btw. click link below in my sig.
also rogers got the LTE model not the hercules. the picture you have in your first post op is incorrect.
that picture only applies to the HD LTE model.
Hey guys I had a crazy clumsy spell in which both of my nexus 4's fell to the concrete a few days apart and shattered so I replaced them with nexus 5's one 16gb red from the play store for the wife and one black 32 used from ebay. Guess which one doesn't work right - yeah the ebay one. I put them back to back installed 4.4.4 stock and set up the apns for straight talk. The ebay phone has NO LTE at all. The red one with identical software and the same apn settings has perfect lte. I figured it had to be my sim card so I switched cards and the red nexus 5 still gets lte but the black ebay one does not. So it's hardware right? Can anyone think of anything else it could be? I popped off the back of the phone and looked at the spring connections and they seemed to be making contact not sure what else to do at this point. The ebay seller says he won't refund because I tampered with the firmware - rofl I opened a case but I'd like to get this thing to work
What country are you in?. Maybe the eBay is wrong model for your region?
There are only 2 models. D820 and D821 and LTE won't work if you have the incorrect model.for your region.
D820 is North America. D821 is Rest of world

Does someone know a dongle that allow to use 3G/4G on my tablet ? With some apps, I would like to transform it into a "phone" so I could call and use it everywhere (like the LTE variant). For the moment I'm not root since I don't want to trip Knox. Does any know one ? Big thanks in advance !

I would get the LTE variant and sell your old one on ebay or something. Even if u do get a dongle, u will have something 2 inches sticking out of a heavy tablet, u will end up breaking the port.
I actually use google voice and hangouts dialer to convert my tablet into a phone and it works really well. I have LTE variant.

I clearly need to sell mine first, thanks !
I've always purchased unlocked Samsung phones, but lately Samsung has been super slow updating them compared to the carrier phones. About to pull the trigger on an S22 Ultra and leaning more towards the T-mobile branded one then the Unlocked one. I can always delete most of the bloatware.
I have a N975U and a N975U1. Both are near identical. However if you replace say the C port pcb you need to get the correct one for that variant. Both have bloatware.
If you can get a better deal with TMOBILE that might be best. I don't know what they throw on their phones.
As for updates especially firmware... they tend to break phones especially branded ones.
Rule #1- if an OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission let it be!
My oldest N10+ is still running on Pie, the current load will be 2 yo in June, still fast and stable. Security is simply not an issue with it... unless you do something stupid. There's no saving dumb bunnies... so forget the scare hype.
Know the vulnerabilities, mitigate as best as possible but most of all always be careful what you install and download. Zero tolerance for any malware, if it can't be eradicated in an hour or two, factory reset.
I got the unlocked Note 20 Ultra directly from Samsung, because at the time, AT&T didn't offer the 512gb. Today, I purchased the Galaxy 22 Ultra directly from Samsung because AT&T is not currently selling the 1TB version. Also, I find that the Samsung bloatware is considerably less than that of the phone carrier.

I just use a package disabler on both. Operationally there's no discernible difference although I don't use any of the AT&T features.
Point is both variants are a mess without the package disabler... I was hoping the unlocked version make me say "wow", not meh
Be real swell of Samsung if they had a built in package disabler...
The S22U I ordered is the 1st Samsung phone I've ordered that was not an AT&T model. I need wifi calling and the word is it works on unlocked Samsung phones now. Samsung loads up all their phones with stuff but the AT&T models get the super deluxe bloatware package. It would be great if they gave you more control of what you have on your phone but they have made some pretty nice changes lately with the OS and updates.
I ordered S22U 512gb T-mobile version from Samsung hoping to take advantage of the carrier aggregation and other network improvement. I have Note 20 Ultra 5g unlocked on T-mobile and it does not perform better compared to the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Mostly I have to have the Note on 4g LTE to get great performace. So hopefully I made the right choice.
I thought that the unlocked versions got the security and OS updates first. That alone would be enough for me to get one. However, Samsung doesn't accept pixel 6 pros for trade in yet.. Verizon gave me $1000, what I paid, so, kind of had to do that.. Hopefully I'm wrong!
I do know that you CAN get Verizon at least to unlock your phone. I'll have to see about that for sure.

That's pretty funny as Samsung will take iPhones.
AT&T does as well... read the contract and conditions. I've unlocked 2 so far. Buying off the phone after 2 years nets you big savings at least with AT&T.
The updates aren't generally needed for Android 9 and higher useless you do stupid things.
That said there's no saving dumb bunnies... most malware is user loaded/downloaded.
I really don't do an incredible lot to secure Android 9 and it holds up very well.
Try this settings change for global ad blocking and it picks off some of the worst sites as well.
I also use some of the Samsung browser ad blocker plugins; that browser is somewhat vulnerable especially without them.

I had an ATT locked phone, and while it worked fine with some other carriers (Tmobile) it wouldn't work correct with Mint Mobile. I finally had to put the unlocked firmware on it which fixed the problem. This is with a Fold 3 and an S10.

Variant color kept me from going the VZW route, but may reconsider. The $1000 is bill credits spread out over 3 yrs with a penalty of losing the credits if you just want to pay it off right?

Honestly TMo in the past has had so little bloatware you could hardly tell the difference between the TMo branded Galaxy and the unlocked. Just the annoying magenta splash screen and boot sound.

That's never been the case. The Unlocked is always the last to get the updates. This gets discussed every year, with every Samsung device, and every major update.
I usually get the carrier version then flash the corresponding U1 unlocked firmware. Best of both worlds, though be sure to carrier unlock the phone first if needed.

What happens if your on a U1 unlocked version running U1 firmware and you flash the U carrier version using Home CFC so not to wipe. Will you still get all the carrier version mess and bloatware ?
The reason I ask is there's a new update out for my Fold 3 but only the U carrier version is out not the U1

Verizon will Carrier unlock after 60 days by default. They will NOT unlock the bootloader. Ever!
Hello, I have a few questions about the Odin updates, how does it work? Can I flash the SM-S908U/SM-S908U1 firmware on my device? I have the canadian version of the s22 ultra, is there any risk? Do I need to factory reset? And will I get new canada/US Ota updates? Or will I need to manually flash every time after that?
Wait for the OTA update. It will arrive any day now.
Have faith. Good thing Fido announces OTA updates on your region early while other regions are no idea when they will get it.

Well, you're not alone. Next year, I'll be doing an exchange for the next predecessor and far away from anything HK version of S23 Ultra. Of course, that will happen after I find the next iteration appealing else, I might try iPhone or most likely Pixel 8 pro.

As long as it's not HK version, you won't regret it! It feels like we're left at the bottom of the well whilst others have been given strong thighs to jump off. I find it surprising being this is one of Asia versions. One would think it'll at least have a slight edge over other versions of this model.
Exactly, so unfair, I keep looking on check firm app and there's a 2 new test builds in the last week. Are they looking to give us a more stable release when we get one ui 5 or something
Im also on 9080 cause germany has the ****ty exynos. Will get the s23u...
Just a heads up to the Canadian users. Rogers/Fido have pushed back the One UI 5 upgrade from Nov 05 to Nov 21.
I suspect the rest of the major carriers will have a similar release date.
This thread is specific to the SM-908W........
Seriously, there's no way to use the Odin for the SM-S908U/UI? That's just stupid

It'll be end of the month for the update
I have both Fold 4/S22 Ultra W Series 1TB. I used this thread to enable all 5G bands and flashed the XAA U1 software on both phones.
I have Android 13 on s22 Ultra with TMB U1 software and 5G on Telus.
Note: you will have to factory reset before you ODIN the BL/AP/CP/CSC (not the home one) so BACK UP FIRST.
The reward for my W series phones:
s22 Ultra 5G on Telus using XAA U1 software (I purposely flashed Android 12 from 3 months ago to test updates; I let it update and still had 5G on Telus; I then flashed the TMB U1 to get Android 13 and still have 5G on Telus).
Fold 4 still running XAA U1 Software with 5G on Telus.
How to Enable All Bands Through Service Menu on US/CA S22 series (including Sub-6 and mmWave)
What is this? This is a guide on how to enable all LTE and 5G bands on the US or Canadian S22 series phones by going through the service menu. This guide is mostly based on this S20U guide by mellojosh, but has been adapted for the S22U phone...

As per the Rogers/Fido update schedule my phone received the UI 5 upgrade this morning.
I would assume most carriers will follow suit.
