Going to get my grubby hands on the NS sometime next 2 weeks. I am not in the US. Would I be able to get the OTA? I guess the questions is the OTA device dependent or T-mobile dependent or location dependent?
Happy holidays guys

good question, the N1 seemed to have separate OTA packages
I have it with Mobilicity and I haven't received the update yet.
I'm in the uk. Upgraded yesterday and not received ota yet... including trying the "checkin" numerous times.
Not got the new market yet either.

I don't know for sure, but I would assume the answer would be yes.
Good news is that you can always manually update and that is a fairly straight forward process. See here for more information: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884097
I'm in the UK and picked my SIM free NS up yesterday evening. I got the OTA within an hour of switching it on.

Turned my phone off for about 5-6 hours ( charging), booted and bam right there it popped up...

bought the phone in the US and I'm in Belgium (on Proximus) and I got the OTA yesterday evening.
Sweet, so I guess its device dependent, instead of country or service provider.. nice Thanks guys and happy holidays to all
I'm reconfirming it is not location or provider dependent.
I'm in Montreal on Videotron and I got the update this morning.
it's device ROM dependant not provider or location
they could, but at this stage i doubt they will enable IP filtering
Ahh, so how would google know to send the ota? Each time the rom is switched on, it sends a check update to google?

I received it yesterday evening.
+ 1 to the auto-update. Once I had the NS linked to a WiFi connection, it asked to be updated. I'm in the southern UK.
I am extreeemely eager to get the nexus s - but I am based in Dubai.
Cud somebody please confirm if the update will be available regardless of country / location?
[or better still, if someone from the middle east has already gotten the update on their N-S?]
i am dying to get the NS and chuck my iPhone out the window...but i need a bit more confidence to jump on board and buy it esp. b/c it has not been released in this country...
I got the notification a few days back, in India.
I guess i could rename this thread to the non-us nexus S club I am in Brunei myself.. waiting on mom to arrive in 4 days from LA
I would like to says thanks to clubtech for link to purchase unbranded 3G tab 7.0 plus. Also thanks to xda for our own section here.
Just got my tracking number, I super excited, but I know to be cautious with AT&T data. Has anyone tried popping their AT&T SIM into one of these. I currently have grandfathered unlimited smartphone ( not iphone ) data. Currently I have a Dell Streak 7 4G, and I havent gotten any notices/ had any problems. So Im -hoping- I can just pop in my AT&T SIM with voice and smartphone unlimited and I'll be good to go as this model Im expecting is unlocked. I would be uber stoked!
Anyone have any suggestions to be stealthy and avoid getting bagged?
anyone tried a similar setup in USA with this device?
.... just want to be "safe" as possible. Thank You guys, Im sure I wil be very active in the forums when my device gets running.

sure, here: http://www.ipmart.com/main/product/Samsung,P6200,Galaxy,Tab,7,0,Plus,333168.php?prod=333168
enjoy.
Im hoping I'll go undetected by AT&T as there are still some 1st gen gtab users with voice and unlimited smartphone data , correct??
Thanks, coincidentally it's the same company I had found a couple of days ago. I even contacted them ( and they promptly replied to my questions ) asking a couple of questions.
Did u receive your tab yet ? What shipping method did U use ? Did you have any problem with custom , clearing it ? Did you have to pay any custom duty ? This was my bigger concern since the item is coming from Malaysia. In the past I've bought several things from China, Hong Kong and never had a custom problem. But never bought anything from Malaysia. This is copy of their correspondence :

As for AT&T, I do not live in the USA but I am there often. And I've always used a GoPhone SIM card. I even use it in the old Galaxy Tab 7 , that I bought from AT&T and promptly flashed with an European Rom, and unlocked , so I could use it as a phone. I buy Pay as you go data packages.
P_
edit : I noticed that you just got your tracking number, so I guess you have not received the tab yet.

got mine.. used FedEx and it was here in 3 days.. No customs issues at all.
It will not work now t-mobile because the frequencies are not compatible. I am using mine on at&t and it works well as my area has 1900mhz coverage.
Fyi they are shipping the white model, not the black model as shown not their website.

3 days.. you lucky son of a gun.. j/k . I was thinking they might ship white, oh well I got a black carbon fiber skin that should take of that , so voice and data are working good on AT&T. I neeeeed this thing, groove ip and sipdroid on my dell streak 7 are flaky. what kind of download speeds you got clubtech? Im in hartford CT and in good areas, im getting 7-nearly 8 mpbs down on dell streak 7, normally around 4 or so.
mine just completed through customs whew had me nervous for a while.. im using DHL.
Hmmm, I'd love to get a white model. Thanks for the feedback, I'll order mine shortly. As you can see from the Ip mart reply they claim that they do not have the white model ........... I guess the guy answering the messages does not really know :

They are probably not aware of the color as it is being sent from a 3rd party. I definitely got the white version.. I wanted the black one but the white one will do as well.

Hi,
Wonder if anyone has tried the D838 model in the UK? I'm on the T-Mobile/EE network but not too bothered about 4G.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi John,
I've had a D838 model in the UK for the past fortnight, imported from Hong Long. Haven't used the 4G because I'm on GiffGaff, which uses the O2 network, and the D838 can't get 4G on the bandwidth they have (I'm switching to Three very soon though, which should solve that "problem").
But mine works absolutely fine here, no problems whatsoever. Switched from a Note 2, which I'd had for almost two years - that was the best phone I'd ever had, but the G Pro 2 is substantially better - even the infra-red controller works perfectly (which, for some reason, I didn't expect)!
It's a fantastic phone!
Only downside at the moment is a lack of easy root for the phone, but no doubt that will come.
Any particular questions you had??

Hi
Thanks very much for your reply. That certainly helps.
Where did you get yours from and what did you pay for it?
I'm still in two minds as to whether to wait for the D837 European model as the frequency coverage might be better suited to the UK and any travel in Europe.
Also, just wondering if LG might up the spec on the D837.
Thanks, John.

Bought mine from eBay for £478 - couldn't wait for the D837, which (as far as I'm aware) still hasn't been confirmed for the UK...
Hi all..does this mean that the d838 will work fine in using 3g nd 4G on ee ? I'm also wanting to buy this phone...there is a eBay seller based in the UK that stock these..best price i can find is £395 with free delivery I'll will try nd share the link on here

I've used mine on Giffgaff (which piggybacks on the O2 network) but now switched to Three so I can use 4G (the D838 won't work with O2's 4G network, but does work with Three's).
Calls and data have all worked absolutely fine on both networks - not a single problem.
EE's 4G works on the 1800MHz band, which the D838 can use.
One small warning about buying at that price - be careful you don't get hit with customs charges. I bought mine at £478 because they guaranteed no customs charges (it was sent to a UK address, then sent to me from there), but I bought a previous phone nice and cheap from HK and had to pay about £60 to customs, which meant it was no cheaper!

I'm with Three and I didn't have to change anything. Used 4G for the first time last night - jeez, that's fast!!! :good:
In fact, thinking about it, I haven't had to change any settings, except to disable Taiwanese language in the keyboard.
How are you finding the D838 on EE?
Thinking hard about getting one and don't know whether to wait for the D837.
Not too worried about 4g at the moment as their H+ is fast enough for me currently
Cheers
I'm also in this situation too, thinking i should wait for the D837 variant just for the added 800MHz band (as EE will soon use that too), the D838 version is already well less than £400 from UK sellers on ebay.
What is LG delaying for i wonder? If Motorola release a decent phablet before the D837 comes out, I could be swayed to that model.
I've just bought a new one on eBay from a UK seller for £320. I'm on EE but don't have 4g in my area. I'll keep you guys posted after I receive it tomorrow.
I'm rather hoping that everything works as it should as it looks an awesome device. I'm coming from the G2. ?

I have my concerns but I'm really hoping that it works well in this country. The device looks awesome, I was going to look at the G3 but if this one doesn't have any localisation issues then I will be a very happy man. I had never even considered LG devices until I bought the G2 on a whim in January and have to say that I'm very pleasantly surprised with the quality (and value) that they provide.
All being well I'll be able to hold my head up high again next to my wife's Note 3.
The G Pro 2 works fine in the UK.
The only thing that doesn't work is QVoice, but seeing as no one cares about it then it doesn't matter one bit.
Still a bit puzzled why LG never released the D837 at all though.

Received my Taiwanese D838 yesterday put my EE sim card and 64gb micro sd in it then booted up. No issues at all, just like I'd bought a UK device. Set my languages to English UK of course. Wow, don't know what I was worried about what a great device and to cap it all, I plugged it into the LG PC Suite and updated from 10e to 10f without an issue. For anybody in the same boat as me, just get one, you won't regret it.
Great news. Tempting, tempting, tempting.
It has the option for recent apps button in the nav bar doesn't it? [

Hi Guys,
It has been a while since I used an android and the usual problem with carrier phone is they lock some bands (dont know why they do this) and undeletable bloatware.
Saw some ads in eBay that are selling refurb pixel phones and the price is not that bad.
I just want to ask will there be some issues of using verizon pixel in Canada or is it possible to change the firmware of the phone to make it global so it can unlock the bands,
Thanks for those who will reply
Today or tomorrow you can find out!
New firmware will be floating around. Try to take the update to your device. See what update it tries to push.
Hopefully it does a good thing for you..

even when you purchase from the HTC.ca website, all it does it forwards you to the HTC USA website, but charges you Canadian Tax and in Canadian money, but stock and model it's the same, and are from the same warehouse.
