3G/4G dongle compatible with the P900 ?

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 !

How can you do that with a custom rom in the first place?

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.

Really? Oo wow, that's a bit anomalous, as the LTE version was €779,00 when I bought it back in May 2014 at MediaMarkt Nordhorn (Germany). Almost 2 years ago.

€620 new, if you want or don't mind the white version. http://www.amazon.de/Samsung-Galaxy-Speicher-Megapixel-Frontkamera/dp/B00I81BU98
(yes you can use a german device in france. All EU devices have the same frequencies, you could even flash XEF over it if you want.)

R720XXU2AOJ3 (Current NA)
Gear S2 (3G):
R730VVRU1AOJ6 (Current Verizon [SM-R730V] NA)

Gear S2 US Model SM-R720 has software version R720XXU2AOJ3

Gear S2 Classic from US: (Model SM-R732) - S/W Version# R732XXU2AOJ3

I got the Verizon Gear S2 3G. I never updated it or checked for updates because I don't know how root works on Tizen yet but my model # is SM-R730V software version is R730VVRU1AOJ6.

I have the AT&T S2 3G version and the software version is R730AUCU1AOL3

Looks like you're going to have to get a little more granular with the 3G models

Same specs here as above.
I would add:
1) Watch Model Version: SM-730A (6107A) which is found on the back face of the watch.
2) I believe the 730T refers to T-Mobile and 730A refers to ATT as far as the codes are concerned for the Gear S2 3G models.

OP is updated. We will see how messy this gets.

Yeah I feel that there should be a bit more granularity in the forum itself. I would split it out similar to what you have above due to the different specs, form factors, functionalities and accessories. For example as far as I can tell the bands of the Classics don't fit the Gear S2 and Gear S2 3G but its possible the S2 and S2 3G bands do. Obviously there are more radios in the 3G and the functionality and battery life are quite different between the S2 non-3G and 3G. This also means that things like protectors that fit the S2 don't fit the S2 3G due to the different form factors. Gets a little confusing for non-techies IMHO.

This thread is only for the software versions. I think the way it currently works fine. I do agree we need to have some sub forums for the different verisons.

I agree they should split it up like they do with smartphones. Although I think this is okay for now since this device really has no development yet. I think it's good for collaboration purposes to have one central outlet. Once/if development takes off then they should split it up by model and branch off the 3G's by carrier. I wanna root this thing already! Too bad there is nothing available yet

I have the South African variant of the phone with XFE csc.

I have the SM-A525F/DS 8GB/256GB version which I believe is made in India and is sold as the Europe and Global / International model? It is very hard to find information on this model. Even trying to find prices on the 8GB/256GB model is hard to find as it seems to be out of stock everywhere I check online. I only paid $300 for an open-box unit so no complaints here.

Check the country code in settings, you'll know exactly for where it was supposed to be designed for.

It is the "Service provider software version" line in the "Software information" tab.
Though I don't know if every firmware has this line included. Most should.

Has anyone updated, if so what's new? My build is A525MUBU2AUF3, I'm also in south America (Colombia) but phone cse says Panama

New update is out for XFE country code with September security update.

Question Has anyone in the U.S. received the ota update for June yet?

I have the unlocked S22 Ultra running on T-Mobile. Got the May update last month on 5/25 so it seems like it should be due by now.

Got my June update yesterday on my S22u - T-Moble (locked).

The Verizon update came out last week. I got it on 6/13

Nope

got mine 2 days ago (tmo locked)
STILL don't have a wifi calling icon on the status bar.
I don't use the ESIM, maybe thats the issue.
And i wont use the ESIM

Why the update is so late in the US?
Mobile operators?

Probably not. My daughter's S22 is unlocked. She got the May update after I got it. I have the S22 Ultra Verizon. Her update came from Samsung.

Yes and no. Google has been pushing out features that no one knew they needed, and most are pretty badass. You can root without losing the warranty, and you get updates and new OS launches on day one. Those things were hard to leave. However, I've always had to root my pixels. Google doesn't give you hardly any customization options. The fonts suck, and you can't install any others, no icon packs unless you use a different launcher, and with A12, they gave us a whole 4 colors to choose from. Four, awful, awful colors. I was able to change them with root thankfully though. They REALLY need to get on the full customization train. If they did, I'd go back, but for now, I don't see myself getting another pixel anytime soon. And don't get me started on the pixel 6 pro.. Total piece lol. The main reason why I switched.

S22U1 Got tired of waiting so flashed it over to carrier Xfinity Mobile got mine over a week ago no noticeable difference except the carrier boot screen

Just got it on unlocked S22U on T-mobile.

The U.S. Unlocked model getting it now.

Unlocked on Sprint/T-Mobile and downloading the update now.

Got mine too. Finally. Wonder why the unlocked US versions are among the last to get it?
I thought I read something earlier that the June update included improvements to the camera. I guess not.

Just tried to update apps in the Galaxy Store app, and all the Update button does is cause the screen to sort of jump up then back down without updating the apps. Didn't do that before the June security update. Anyone else have this problem?

I decided to try signing out of my Samsung account, then sign back in, but nothing happens now except an error message that says "IMEI or MEID empty." What gives?

Question S22 ultra One UI 5.0 on SM-S908W

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

https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-series-s20-note20-s21-had-no-issues.4408193/

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.
