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?

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.

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.

LOL their coverage isn't great once you leave the big city, but man I love t-mobile. They do try hard.
I was in two different countries this year and my phone worked, all included in plan.

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.
I take jabs at them from time to time but, the, I don't have any major complaints.

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.

New update for us 3g models!

Update is out!

I do not have an s3 to compare it to but the shealth app got a complete overhaul. It does much more now. It also speaks (heart rate, time, speed) at intervals while I am running. I missed the speaking when I first switched from carrying my phone to just my watch on runs.
It added many more activities to track too.

EDIT: Tmobile pushed the update finally! They actually came through.

Just checked for update on T-Mobile variant of Gear s2 and it is available. The size is: 146.52 MB and downloading now.
Update: It completed just fine. Watch runs well, but I haven't tested anything besides the installation of the update and some menu navigation.

Finally.... I got it

My T-mobile watch isn't activated with them and even has a bad ESN and it updated just fine.

Yes, I bought one of the refurb TMobile 3g Classic ones before Christmas, I already have a sports Wifi one. I have not activated it on T-Mobile (I'm on sprint), and I got the update today. Works well. I can make and receive phone calls via Bluetooth easily. Not sure I need my Wifi one anymore. Wish I had known this before I bought the WiFi as Sprint does not sell the 3g version at all.

After update
Build number is changed. I don't know other improvements.
I think the Oreo is coming...

Android O is definitely coming very soon, however I just think this update was just solving a tiny bug or something like that. Unless the bug effected the download and install of Android O, I doubt it was anything important. Still interesting though!

No update ta-1025 Amazon adds
Hello, I have a Nokia 6 ta-1025 with Amazon ads, I am still stuck in 7.1.1 with the August patch, I spoke with hmd support and they tell me that I may not receive the update for the region where I live, in the moment I live in the Dominican Republic, but what makes me curious is that there are more users with ta-1025 who have not yet received the update and are in the same situation as me.

That's what you get for buying at Amazon.

That's what you get for buying at Amazon, a phone that doesn't update. I bought mine from a 'normal' retailer, it had the August patch too, but within 1 hour it downloaded 4 updates, one for every month from August till now. If I were you, i'd ask for a refund and buy one from a reputable store.

It has absolutely NOTHING to do with it being an Amazon phone. The update beta is NOT being released but to a few versions if the phone. In only certain countries. It WILL receive the full Oreo update when released. If you don't have facts then don't answer with some nonsense answer. Amazon IS a reputable supplier. It has also received every update. Including December 1st.

yes I also received this notification that you postedhere but I could not updated my phone on that time and have not any negative effects of ignoring this keep calm and ignore it.

Still nothing for retus. Could you use a VPN to make it seem like you're in Brazil or wherever and then get the OTA update to pie?

That wouldn't work. They don't send them out based on where in the world you're connected to the internet. There's different models for the phone, there's a US, Brazil, EU, etc models of the phone and they only sell those models in the respective world regions that they're for unless you order online and have it imported, of course you should already know that. They have different "pipes" that they send the updates through, probably one for each phone model. As in, RETUS would be separate from RETBR. Regardless of where you live, or if you are connected to a VPN based in Brazil, you wont get the update since the RETUS model only would communicate to Motorola through the "pipe" for RETUS, not RETBR. Should make sense!
