GSM Version?

Quick question, Will there be an GSM version of the Photon Q LTE? with removable SIM?
I'm talking about a different variant

the codename for the photon q is the asanti_c, there is a lot of reason to believe a gsm friendly version will come out that will be called just the asanti.

Shouldn't take much more than a hardware tweak on their end at least.

Correct.
It is codename Asanti and the model is XT898. Right now I know it will be for AT&T, but usually you can get an unlock codes for other carriers.
Code:
_._._.XT898-continuous.ATT.en.US
_._._.XT898.ATT.en.US

Great, let's hope other variants will have an unlocked bootloader

As long as the carrier allows them it should. Seeing as AT&T is the reason behind the Atrix HD not being unlocked, (hardware/software support it, just not the Unlock My Device page), I'd say the chance is slim.

There should be international version of the phone, from what I know (I don't know about AT&T version).

There should be one if only for the fact that this is the first high end QWERTY device I have seen in ages

Yeah, with the botched email client that crashes whenever you delete an Exchange message =(
I guess it'll be useful again once ICS OTA hits soon but for right now it's an Angry Birds client for my kids =)

I fixed that bug the day I got my glide, just replaced the APK from the one on OsiMood, and we already have an ICS Update, you have to plug your phone on a PC, start Kies, and search for updates.
I don´t want to be disrespectful, but judging by your answer, I think that Angry Birds may be a little too complicate for your mental capacity, maybe you should try Pong, more apropiated for someone of your generation.

Was a GSM version ever released?

It was cancelled.

That's too bad. Maybe we could've flashed the gsm radio to get that side of the Q working in the US, which I'm assuming is blocked by default.

Very sad that it was cancelled. I used a GSM phone overseas (Captivate Glide), and it is silly that I need to use a different phone when home on Sprint.

Canadian S4 Kitkat update

So according to Rogers it's "soon", lol.
So when do you think we're getting it?

Later then on At&t....lol... But I hope very soon..

I'm hoping within a day or two, but you never know with the Canadian carriers. I'm pretty sure we got 4.3 first though, so I'd imagine that it's ready to go.

hope the update will come soon, at&t has already the update....:highfive:it still indicated soon on roger site. hope it will come in the next two weeks:fingers-crossed:. What I like in kitkat above all is the mail, gmail like, and google now is integrated to the launcher. will see how samsung put it in their touchwiz.

Hope it comes to Fido soon. I'm thinking that if it comes to Rogers, then it should be ready for Fido also.
Even though I'm not using any SIM in it yet lol, wonder how that goes. I tried with Keys3 and it tells me I have the latest version (4.3).
I'm mostly excited for the snappier speed! It is sluggish in some parts in 4.3 and touchwiz really makes it slower than it's supposed to be!

Waiting on Telus
Then I'll be cookin'!
Edit: No S4 - 4.4.2 on the
Telus upcoming software updates...

wow wtf man
One of the reasons I left HTC for Samsung is faster updates
(I know there are Nexus for that, but Im not really interested in stock Android, except for the Nexus 7)
And now they are making us wait ?

3-4 weeks after ATT updates
Last time I chatted with Telus, the support team mentioned they generally release updates 3-4 weeks after AT&T. So looks like it will be end of March

not sure if they will be released at the same time but the last update(4.3) I installed on my Koodo S4 was the same one used for Bell S4.
Anyone remember if they all received the update the same day ?

Last I checked Telus got the update before any other carrier at least it shows that kind of pattern on the firmware releases.
Either way can't wait to start cooking a 4.4 rom

It's really frustrating that we pay the same as everyone else but are always the last to get an update. Last time, we got updated well after google had released a new version. Not even a leaked version??

Maybe, just maybe Verizon is starting to get that slow updates suck. Maybe. Did I say maybe?

I can't wait for this, will run stock rooted & check out the battery see if its amazing. Might also convert to ART to help out battery.

Don't take the update. At least s off first

Seems a little more than just a camera update. Verizon has done a good job at locking down Motorola devices running 4.4.4, just saying I wouldn't take the OTA without already being s-off if you ever want to root again, I guess time will tell...

Also it improves the sound. the OTA changes firmware of audio components to newer than on Harman/Kardon version. It's first audio update I think for the "normal" version of One M8.
And fixes the cracking that can be heard at high volume with some headphones.

Please send pics of the new themes.
Edit: Nevermind. I just updated my phone. Looks like the 5 new themes are for the dot matrix case. I thought the new themes were for Sense. The 4 themes they have are nice, but more customization would be appreciated.

Saw this thread and promptly pulled down the update. Won't know about improvements to battery for a few days. But 5 hours since update and androis OS is still # 1, and android system is # 3.

I have the french version who is the first to receive updates but what version are these ???

Still never got an update, W8 on Fido (Rogers). The only downside to a non-Nexus device - carrier updates grrrrr.

Been running the latest update since this morning.

How funny. I was in Best Buy on Saturday and visited the Samsung Kiosk. I had issues with my multi-window randomly popping up without pressing it. Anyways, I took it in and got them to reflash the device. Didn't notice till now but I got the update on that day, which solved my problems that I have been having since I got the device.

Can't wait until VZW pushes this out 6 months from now.

when does AT&T usually push anything? It's already April and I still haven't received the March security update.

Oh for sure. I wish they had a better presence where I'm at. As many problems as VZW has, their coverage can't really be beat. At least not in my experiences.

So you don't want to update to a better performing phone, in hopes of rooting to get a better performing phone minus features. You may miss out and continue waiting until the s8. Just saying you should just try enjoying the phone.

I can confirm after almost a full 2nd day of use that this update does wonders for standby. My phone came off charger this morning at 8 AM, its not 4 PM and I am at 87% battery remaining. SOT only 23 minutes, some voice calls, some emails. But standby is outstanding and noticeably improved since the PC8 update.

Anyone get the beta yet?

T-Mo build will have the carrier aggregation and MIMO support enabled.

Nothing here. It appears a lot of people that were probably in are having issues. It is displaying a "server issue" message and not showing us as registered. Perhaps we were not selected but then again I have not read about anyone with a tmus device being selected.
I will be bumped down if Samsung couldn't supply the tmus users.

Nope not yet. And though I registered on Thur morning I'm apparently deregistered as of today for some odd reason. Though I'm certainly not alone. Seems to be a case of hurry up and wait to see if we've even been selected to participate. Hopefully so, but if not... Well... There's always waiting until it officially comes out.

Apparently they are getting setup of the s6 beta. This is thought to be the reason for server errors.
Maybe, I'm being very naive I'm sure, they are fixing bugs before release. YouTube is broken and other things in the sprint /Verizon release. I'm sure this isn't the reason though
Edit: Tmobile is having server issues. So that's the actual reason for the delay. Just gotta wait. Atleast we know now why it hasn't hit.
