Alright, lets kick off the new Optimus 3D forum with the latest rumors on when it will be released.
More than one UK retailer (yes there was 2 different ones) has/had it on their sites for release at April 26.
Now there is supposed to be an official PR about the O3D being released in June, but also almost 100GBP cheaper, more on this at:

I would say it would be a longshot if they didnt put Honeycomb on it; its very powerful device that needs to have the good stuff..Honeycomb in 3D would Awesome! ALso, i dont remember what phone(its coming soon) and i think it'll have Honeycomb version
Honeycomb is tablets only

Not at all. It is optimized for tablets, but any phone can run Honeycomb. The 3.0 is not a new branch of Android, it's the same...
BTW, LG France created a Q&A in Facebook with lots of info. It's official : no 3D before June
That's better for me, I'll have to pay for my Nintendo 3DS first lol

Mmmmh you sure ? I was thinking the whole device is built in China, no ?
I've ordered mine 2 months ago over Amazon, they didn't tell any problem after the disaster...
UK mobile operator Three has leaked some slides showing a June release for the Optimus 3D.

Looks like June is showing up in a few places. This is great because I don't get an upgrade till June anyways.
It is shipping only with version 2.2, will be upgradeable to 2.3. I really hope LG does a good job of getting this update out there. Usually companies take a while to get it finished and considering LG has to make a 3D UI, I hope they are already working on it.
This device was probably started a while ago and they have been working on it for some time so that is probably why it is only version 2.2. Most phones coming today should have 2.3. No reason to not have it.
The fact the phone will ship with 2.2 is really a problem for me, as we don't even have an idea about when we'll get 2.3. As I'm coming from Sony Ericsson and the X10 "fatal update failure" (8 months with Donut when everybody had 2.1/2.2, since January 2.1 but NEVER new update...), it's really scaring me.
TI OMAP will give crazy results, but HTC EVO 3D looks promising - and shipping with 2.3. HTC as I know is much more working on updating their phones right ?

Don't go so crazy here. 2.3 is not a significant performance bump compared to the leap from 2.1 towards 2.2
2.3 is more of a refinement within the Android platform. As you stated, the OMAP chip is a great performer. Now a benchmark can be staged but when you see similar results from different sources, then the numbers are solid. The Evo 3D too should be a speedy phone, but it will be released later than the Optimus- if that influences your decision at all. Finally, LG has openly stated in numerous occasions that the 2.3 update should follow shortly after retail release of the G2X & the 3D.
Dated release at 2011-06-03 at a Swedish retailer.
Guessing that rest of EU will be getting it at the same time.

That's not too bad, as long as it's not the end of june. I'd like it in my hands before then
I been researching the specs of the optimus 3d/ thrill 4g and have come across speculation about the RAM of this device. I've read in some places that it has 512mb of RAM, then in some places I've read it has 4GB DDR2 RAM. Can anyone confirm this?
If it does indeed have 4GB of RAM, then I'm sold.
EDIT: It has 4Gigabits not 4Gigabytes. So essentially it has 512MB of DDR2 RAM.

Lol, 2.3.3 will be an amazing huge difference for this phone! 2.2 doesn't support dual core as 2.3.3 does... This will greatly improve performance

Hey guys, so like many of you ive been waiting for an official release of marshmallow for the galaxy s6, because as anyone who is at least a semi curious photographer knows that the camera api 2 manual controls are completely broken in android lolipop and the stock camera cant do half the setting that camera api 2 offers....
Anyways ive been reading that the camera api 2 in android M has been fixed and even the stock camera ap has got new manual settings which is the main reason i am so interested in android M.
However.... I see that Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and UK which are all around Portugal got the update and yet Portugal (which is 1 of the most advanced countries in the world internet wise speaking) is still waiting for how many more weeks?
What kind of parameters are used to choose the Country update priority?
Best Regards.
Nobody knows priority or parameters that samsung uses ...
For s6 i guess france and vodafone providers have priority...
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
They cant really be that random because since the days of Galaxy S2, Portugal has got the middle finger in the update priority, i was hoping that would change with Galaxy S6 but apparently it didnt....
It's really bad, the update policy of Samsung. How random can you be? Country for country, why not whole Europe at once
Join the club. I've not seen any MM update here in Norway either.
Because they take isocell on first priority lol

Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is already displayed in Portugal at the typical stores for a few days already, with the price of 999€ (1000€) for the gold galaxy s7 128GB, that proves that Portugal isnt insignificant for Samsung.
Maybe they confused software update with hardware update and instead of releasing us Marshmallow for Galaxy S6 they released Galaxy S7
still waiting on EE UK also

Lol i guess times changed, back in the days having an unlocked phone meant that we were the first to get the updates and carriers would either follow the boat or simply refuse to do so.
Now it semms that there might be some dirty tactics of time exclusivity, as in, Carriers like Vodafone paying up for beying the first to release a new version of the software so everyone who dont want to wait long might consider in the future to choose Vodafone instead of a carrier free phone, i dont find that surprising if true... because it makes 0 sense for a brand to release an update sooner than unbranded, since Samsung provides the software already ready to compile and ready to run and Vodafone has to waste extra time to add their junk in the phones.
Do consumers care that much about updates delayed for a few weeks to sway their buying decision towards buying from a network carrier rather than unlocked? I mean, we in this forum surely care about that kind of thing, but Average Joe out there, I don't know

I think its safe to say that it will have the opposite effect, instead of wanting the newest galaxy model they will simply feel betrayed and move on to another brand alltogether, then give bad reviews to that Corporation for their friends, collegues and possibly even on the internet if some are geek enough.
Look at Rise of Tomb raider, Microsoft paid millions to have that game exclusive to XboxOne and yet everyone boycotted the crap out of that game because of such dirty tactic.
But greedy companies will never get it, they will always try it again and again to boost their sales, even if it actually hurts them instead.

There is no update for unbranded Hungarian firmawares.
Only Vodafone.
Samu is just starting releasing for t-mobile also, BUT WHY NOT for THE UNBRANDED ONES are the first?
that take less work than customize operator releated Firmwares...
I bought an unbranded because of faster updates......
ps: I have got the 6.0.1 upate today ( XEH)
Because most other nations on the planet also haven't received the update.
Seems we can't visit this place without a constant whiney noise emanating from every other thread. Calm the hell down, all of you.

Hi,
today my blue 128GB Version of the U12+ arrived, shipped from Dublin to Germany. First: I thought it was also Android One like my wife's U11 life (Have 8.1 with security Level 6/2018) -My "Full" U11 stuck in 8.0 with 11/2017. The U12+ does not have Android One like I heard? Second one: if I start into fastboot -it says "locked", but the 128GB Version should be unlocked, or?
Can all 64G Rom Versions flashed to the 128GB Version? Because my Rom is 1.15.408.6 and some Options appear in Chinese (eg in Mail) -did I have to unlock it? Which Country code is the usual 128GB Version? May it is a fake 128GB Version!?
Oh where to start.....
No, the U12+ is not Android one. It has never been reported or hinted at that it might be. This is a flagship device.
Fastboot says "locked" because you haven't unlocked it....
No you can't flash a 128gb rom and change the device. Your device is 128 gb. Its not fake. Taiwan had the June security patches rolled out last week, the rest of the world over the next couple weeks. There is no "country code" for the 128 gb version. It is firmware to support each regions networks.
In all honesty, you should probably not be trying to tinker with/mod/flash ROM's to your device.
"Unlocked" means that there is no carrier lock

I nearly fainted away, reading his post ......
OK, thank you all very much! I (mistakely) understood that all all Devices from HTC will be Android One later then the U11 life, because of better Updates -can swear I'd read it in an Article..... But I just buyed it without check the Device details. And "unlocked" -well I expect it from a free buyed version, so I thought it will mean the bootloder like a developer edition.
Thank you for clearify!
I notice that there is a new update to ATH9 for the exynos B version. Do the snapdragon models get slower updates?
yes
And it seems the n9860 gets them slowest of all!
Wanted to ask same question, is there a way to get faster updates?

of course no. Local market for samsung ( korea) has snapdragon, so it makes no sense to update it slower. Other point is that exynos need MUCH MORE fixes especially on when it just started to sale and it must be done before black friday/ christmas etc..

Why does the exynos need more fixes and the Korean model is updated later than snapdragons in the states and exynos model. We got our updates usually a week or two after the US.
Nevermind if you look up the firmware, the 9860 model is still on a September 1 security patch where as the Exynos model is on October already. Korea is also on Sept 1
ATJ1 just dropped.

First of all it may depend on market and users (specific servisas ir apps) so because of different date of "security" updates. But let's be honest no body knows what's comes as an extra for that "security updates". It's obvious that exynos version is fail in this generation, so constant updates called "bug fixing " wouobnt be good for marketing part - samsung still denies that exynos is worse that snapdragon, so they need to fix it asap QUIETLY. And know it works even better, because more frequent fixes some people thinks that it gets updates sooner lets be real snapdragon get most valuable markets, so it makes no sense mess it up with late updates . It just no need to fix it so much.. by the way all testing devices which goes to "tech blogging " is on snapdragon Guess why...

So what I think I gather from this is you don't know what you meant by exynos needing more updates to fix it up (both chipsets have gotten basically the same number of updates).
You want to come out so hard against exynos (no idea why, it depends totally on region if you have to deal with it or not) that you forget exynos is always the first to update. The Korean Snapdragon doesn't even update before the exynos.
Can we please stick to what we know and save the fanboy speculation for the comments under a sammobile article. Geez Louise.
And late updates? I guess if samsung listed a time that you should expect an update you could classify it as late. But that is different from when you think you SHOULD get an update. Two generations ago we were getting an update every 90 days. Now people are crying over an update coming at the end of the month.

It has nothing to do with being fan boy or so. It's just a facts. I have nothing against exynos, it just fact that is it not as good as snapdragon. And now it just a marketing strategies to "solve it" until all that shopping parade called black friday, 11.11, Christmas etc..

The majority of plain jane cell phone owners aren't on XDA at all. Grab a random person on the street and ask them what security update they are on and see what they say.
You're living in this tech blog vacuum where users slap fight over graphite pads vs copper vapor cooling. While the other 90 something percent of users don't even know what you are on about. And that is a very generous estimation when you look at a given generations phone sells compared to the number of registered XDA users.
It's funny you call exynos being updated earlier a marketing ploy but show me one ad that mentions how fast the monthly updates come (compared to other chipsets).
Average users aren't excited to reboot their phones more than once a month for an update, so more or faster or wherever you are saying is a "marketing strategy" seems a bit off the mark.
Let's be real, the only people the updates make any impact on are the people that already have the phone, and even smaller in that community are those that even care.
First time since I've owned the A52 4G that Samsung didn't make the update in the same month. Guess it was bound to happen since it is a year old and the new A53 is out... Still sad though
