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.

Buy now or wait for Prime?

I've been searching around this thing called the internet for an answer but I can't seem to find an answer as to if/when we're getting the S5 Prime on Sprint. Anyone know the details?

That's because no one knows and it hasn't even been made official although everyone knows it's happening. My guess is, is that it might not even be available in the US.
There's a post on Sammobile saying there will be "limited quantities" of it due to production costs of the 2K display.

I'd buy it again..
Buy a new device whenever you need/want it because waiting for the next great device will never work by the time that device comes out the next great thing will again be on the horizon and the cycle continues..

Oh I've been through the cycle and back. Lol. Good to know that the reports are vague at best. The last thing I want to do is use my upgrade now and then find out that a better version of the phone is coming out in 2 weeks.

That's how it usually happens... I hate that **** too

The answer is simple, if you think you will want what's in the ''prime" more then the reg s5 what's waiting another Month or so? If the s5 is good for what you want, then why wait?

I hate to say it, but ive never been more disappointed with a phone than with my s5. Battery isn't that good compared to my g2, it's slower than my s4 as far as unlocking and opening the camera, the fingerprint scanner is garbage for unlocking the phone. The camera is great in bright and dark situations but lower light it sucks. I do however like the look and feel, which is weird because most people talk about how much they hate it. Also why hasn't samsung implemented auto-input in the keyboard, it's 2014.

How do I know if a oneplus one is a genuine 1

I've been offered a one plus one to buy for 250 but I always thought genuine ones said cyanogen on the back as the 1 I'm looking at doesnt. Is it a big problem if I got a Chinese 1 can I do all I can on it as a genuine 1. I'm in the UK is 250 a good price? Thanks

Chinese version is genuine. Just has less LTE support in America. In UK it's fine however. Check your carriers bands and the bands of the Chinese opo. If they match, go for it.

I have the Chinese its 100% genuine and original but lacks the CyanogeMod logo/markings on the rear this is obviously due to the Chinese versions not shipping with CyanogeMod but rather with ColorOS. And yes you can do EVERYTHING on it that you would be able to do on the international version. You need not worry. As you can also see below LTE shouldn't be a problem for you either in the UK,with a Chinese OPO.

I've been getting all my invites around the same time every month. 24th or 26th of each month, I've just bought my third one. Hoping to net one without the yellow, but so far I'm just selling them on eBay for a small profit. I hate eBay's 10% take, and PayPal' fee too...

Sorry guys I wasn't swearing at any of you so please don't take it like that. I said it as a saying. Like oh my god I cannot believe it but while I'm emailing the chap with the Chinese version. I literally get my invite at that point. Just thought it was a big coincidence. I wasnt having a go at any of you for the fact its came while I'm still waiting to be paid. Just a bit annoying as I don't want to miss it now its came. And I wasn't annoyed at either of you guys. There was nothing to swear at you about. you guys helped me with my question about if I got a Chinese version is there much difference. Then few minutes later I received my invite. I'm sure I can sort something out. Again no offence intended just wanted to say that as I didn't realise some took it to mean I was swearing at them but I wasn't.

I have the Chinese 16gb and the cm 64gb,there's no difference apart from the logo and obviously sd size. I flashed both with twrp and chucked the cm11s on the Chinese, both perfect.

Its all cool oneplus are currently processing my order

i may get the new watch, but if carrier integration isnt there (for emulating my main phone number), then i may keep my old one, so i hope the LG urbane (non-LTE) gets the 2.0 update too

Looks like it'll be AT&T and Verizon again, models W280A and W280V indicate that anyway, so might be NumberSync and Mesaages+ like for the Urbane 2 for using the same number. I don't use either so I just forward my calls to the watch when I leave the phone behind.

No confirmation yet whether it's regular SIM or eSIM. If it's regular and unlocked like the Urbane 2, should be able to use it but would probably require forwarding calls when needed.

So, today is Android 2.0 day. When will we get that notification on our watches? Any info on that?

No exact date, but looks like it will start rolling out in a week or so. Of course, each watch could be different. Here is a post from the AW Team and another article stating updates start on the 15th. https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidWear/comments/5su6z0/introducing_android_wear_20/
https://www.wareable.com/android-wear/update-when-android-wear-2-existing-smartwatch-2017

Sucks we have to wait till 15th for rollout to start since LG partnered with Google for the new watches would of made sense to have the Urbane update ready alongside them.

yes 15th february

My watch is wanting to be charged to update to M1D65H
Edit: security update not AW 2.0

26th now, were is the long waited promised updated?????????? LG?????????????

Yeah the phone app Android Wear has been on 2.0 for a while, in preparation and release of the new 2.0 watches and for the preview versions previously released. The phone app version won't match the watch app version. Still waiting for 2.0 here also.

Finally got it

I got yesterday OTA UPDATE
charing when downloading required
The update is greate

Special with google assistant
And other voice commands like google translator

Question Still on July security update

What happened to the monthly updates for the A52 4G? Samsung has always updated every month since I bought this phone... this is the first time they missed a month.

Samsung's OTA is really unreliable. There's already an August update and pending September update. I would try installing it manually.

They don't have an official website where they post all the different firmwares as far as I know but websites like samfrew and sammobile keep track of them, you may want to check them out.
I checked EGY region and I guess there's still no August release for that region for some reason, only up to July. All the other regions do have the August update.

Thanks for checking. Guess I will just have to wait. Not sure what happened as they usually have been doing a great job on the Egypt version with the monthly updates. Maybe they no longer like the pyramids now that scientists figured out how they were built and thus cut off updates for Egypt....

Look at what arrived this morning:

Are you facing with mobile data connection problems? Like inconsistent internet speeds

No, not that I have noticed. I have had issues with the connection but they have been mostly on the network operators side. The phone has been solid in the last 6 months I have had it.

Yeah the phone is great but I really getting a lot of problems with mobile data after the September security update. I have a 200gb data plan but I can't use it.

Any changes after the October update? Mine's still going strong.
