well if its LPQ then we all know its not gonna be any different than the ones that are currently available
wouldn't carphonewarehouse flash a uk firmware rather than an xeu?
CPW use the same build as XEU which is the Sim free one used in the UK
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
but the uk non branded is not the XEU. hence my asking.
Carphonewarehouse do not use XEU they use CPW (LKACPW) so I will not believe this until I see a screenshot/video
Product Code: GT-I9100LKACPW
Latest firmware: I9100XWKI4/I9100CPWKH1/I9100XXKI1/I9100XWKI4

Correct but as CPW are in many cases the local Samsung Service Centre i would guess that they have updated with non CPW firmware as the only difference is that CSC file .
Its also possible that the latest XEU has a new CSC that contains all the odd networks that where missing and CPW are not bothering with their own version . From memory it was only Virgin UK that was an extra in the CPW version .

Time to settle this
HI GUYS
I work at CPW and will find out on thursday if this is true. We use Cellabrite machines to do the updates and backups etc
Nothing like flashing properly with odin or such.
I will check what we have and report. Although im sure i would have noticed seeing as i have an s2 on cm9!
Untill then i think its bull sorry mehn!

I had it upgraded at carphone warehouse oxford circus plus a Samsung engineer from Korea was there.
I had the upgraded done at 11:45am Friday i had taken my phone in because i was having problem charging and sending with kies .
If you post screen shots of about phone they might believe you .
I actually believe CPW updated you even though it may not be CPW firmware .
jje
I actually work near the CPW the OP is talking about and know that at least one of the guys working in their repairs was quite enthusiastic about ICS coming out.
Will need to go there soon anyway as they messed up my SGS2 repair a bit so I can ask about flashing ICS for me as well. Will report back, on holiday at the moment so won't be until Friday.
Yes, I registered to make this post.

Got mine from Ebay Ecell £380, they got it to me with-in 2 days even though they say 6-10 days.
I think it is the HK version, However it started up in english and I have no trouble on the Android market etc.
This is a very good Tab.

I don't believe it's going to available in the UK soon so why not saving a lot of money and order it in Hongkong at panamoz.com? They're very reliable. Got mine there, paid by Paypal and then I got tracking information soon. Ordered it on 06/01 and it was in London 11/01. They pay all duty and import taxes for you.

Hey guys - United States person looking to import here - the English that is on it, is it UK version or NA version (or is selectable between both?)
It might be a stupid question but I'd love to import it instead of waiting for Verizon to get it in a years time...
Hi - Do you still have he SGT 7.7 for sale?
If so is it the 3G version? How much is it and where are you based.

Panamoz
I bought a 16gb 3G version from Panamoz. I ordered it 17th Jan (evening time) and it arrived on 20th Jan (morning). I selected English UK language during start up and rooted it straight away using the guide for 'root.zip' found in xda forums. It's already done an OTA update (I thought rooting would stop this!). It's working great. I highly recommend Panamoz AND The 7.7 Tab!
I've been using it with a UK T-Mobile sim with no issues, also various WiFi hotspots all appear to work OK.
I don't know of any difference between EU and HK versions, other than language options - but I may be wrong!

Does the Panamoz version comes with the IR port?
Negri Electronics has the 3g version but not the wifi only. My guess is that pretty much all that are out there are HK stock which means no IR.

Hey guys
I have a SGT 10.1 (3G) model, which was bought through Mobicity in Australia. Now i KNOW they source their stock from overseas, but i just spotted yesterday that the HC 3.2 update was available for download?
Now am i getting that pushed because i'm in Australia? Or is it being pushed to the device because it was bought in a specific country thats getting it? (e.g The UK have been receiving it)?
Am just curious, so i can get an idea of when future PUSH updates might be coming to mine.
Updates are being pushed according to origin of the ROM that is on your device.
If you put a given UK carrier rom, you will get this UK carrier updates, and so on.
Well all i've done is root it, not put any custom ROM's on yet....
So how can i tell the origin of the stock ROM on it?
Well if you bought it from a regular carrier and not something like Ebay, you most likely have an Australian version! (no idea what Mobicity is but every carrier have its own ROMs)
What is your current ROM version anyway?
As long as you are on stock ROM, any update will have to go through your carrier for approval and such. So look on their site / ask them for info.

Mobicity is an importer who deals in phones, tablets and accessories. I got my tab through them before Apple sued Samsung to stop selling them locally (nd then I loaded leaked roms)
If you got it from MobiCity like my self I believe you got an Asian ROM
They source the tablet from Hong Kong
So most likely you didn't get an Australian specific ROM

I agree that you won't have an Australian rom on the tablet but just because you get it from Mobicity means that it's from Asia. They seem to source the products from Europe, Asia and USA (depending on avaiability). My Galaxy S 2 came from Europe somewhere, my Galaxy Tab 10.1 came from America I believe and a HTC Desire S I bought for someone came from Asia.
Got my tab from Vodafone. Its going to be 6 months before it'll get 3.2. why not flash? im sure I'll get ics way before if you're willing to wait.

Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah i figured Mobicity would be buying from Asia. So can i tell which ROM i'm on from the Build Number? Mine says (with 3.2 installed) HTJ85B P7500XWKL1
Thanks
P7500XWKL1:
XW: Poland ROM, with support for deutch, english, spanish, french, italian, and 2 more languages I dont know about (de,en,es,fr,it,pt,tr)
KL1: Built 1st week (1) of December (L) 2011 (K)
I just got my Tab tonight, so forgive me if I'm not posting this right as I've just downloaded the update and its installing, so I can't see my exact screens. All I did was go to the settings menu and check for updates. I had to sign up for a Samsung account first, but then it went right through. It said it was updating to 3.2. And just an observation, but it looks like it may take a bit of time. Mine has been updating for over 5 minutes now and its only at 39%.
Edit: I'm on a Wifi only Tab BTW...

Since the Galaxy S3 is now officially released, now is the time to start a thread for us Irish
At the time of release only the White 16gb version is available but Pebble Blue is expected to be available in 2 to 3 weeks or longer, depending on who you ask.
I got my white 16GB Samsung Galaxy S III yesterday from Vodafone. have had not much time to play with it yet, because of studying for exams.
In the half hour or so that I used it, i am impressed.

Available in the Carphone Warehouse in Grafton Street from midnight tonight although you wont catch me queuing up to buy a phone, i hear they'll have plenty of stock all the same.
They seem to be the cheapest anywhere ive seen actually if you wanna purchase the phone outright, €569 locked to 3 Ireland so as soon as someone posts unlocking codes on these forums ill purchase it, i won't be buying it until then i couldn't face having the phone and not being able to use it as it's SIM locked.
eMobile and Meteor coming in at €599 which is still cheaper than Amazon UK and Germany and Carphone Warehouse UK, very surprised at this actually.
Yeah, the euro is so weak at the moment compared to the pound. Wouldn't get a deal buying anything from the UK I'd imagine.

I am sorely tempted to go on a 6 month contract with O2 the device costs €409 and for €50 per month you get 400 mins, 400 texts and 1GB Internet and unlimited O2 calls and texts that is not bad at all actually, i swore id never take out another contract again but 6 months isn't that bad and i have a 6 month contract with O2 for Broadband anyway, what are O2 like thesedays as a mobile network it's been around 8 years since i was last with them and i don't even think they were called O2 then (Esat Digifone or something lol)

Hey guys, to anyone who might be in Switzerland.
I've had the Note 10.1 N8010 since it got released here in Switzerland and since then there was just 1 Samsung fix update and so far, since last July or August there has been No updates at all for my device, not even the Exfat fix update which pretty much left me with no sd card support..
I'm just wondering for owners of this device in Switzerland, did you guys get any updates?
What firmware are you on?

I'm on android version 4.0.4 with a 32gb sd card.

heh im glad im not the only one.. i mean, even on sammobile it shows that there hasnt been any updates for Switzerland since July 2012, but i still thought there was a problem with my device :silly: guess there isnt..
Just checked sammobile again and even Greece and China has the damn update heheh
Kinda weird that all the surrounding EU countries have it but Switzerland in the center of them all still has nothing..

I've bought the 8010 in december and it already included the exfat fix (I could insert the 64GB sandisk and everything worked fine).
Anyway, I did what I always do: I switched to a custom rom.
Switzerland was never very promising with software update speed, sadly
Yea.. To be honest it sucks..
I don't want to put anything custom, want to leave the stock rom..
I might just have to update to the UK or German versions.. Im just not too happy about the CSC number change.. Im not sure if I can still get future updates or not..
Kinda weird only the three of us have replied in this thread.. Makes me wonder how many they've sold here heheh

I have a sim free Xperia Z and recently changed from orange to Virgin sim only account. I did previously upgrade my device to 4.2 using Taiwan firmware and today it's just requested to upgrade again. Same version 4.2 but hoping UK instead of Taiwan (not that it'll make much difference)

So then you don't have an o2 pay monthly branded device, you have a sim free UK unbranded device, check your customization number in the service menu. Open the dialler and type in *#*#7378423#*#* then look for the customization info. Your device isn't an o2 device, it's an unbranded UK variant of the C6603 model.

That's because your customization number is Vodafone UK so you get the updates when Vodafone release them.

What gave you that idea? The O2 update only released yesterday so I reckon now that all UK carrier customisations released we should get the unbranded update any time now.

Not necessarily. Look at 'Generic US' (C6602): no carrier customizations and still on 10.1.A.1.434.
Also, 'Generic UK' is probably being sold in Ireland too, since a 'Generic IE' customization does not exist.

Different model number though - my theory, they create the unbranded UK update first, then give it to the carriers, release the carrier updates then they can release the UK unbranded update.
US unbranded update may not even be ready yet, where as we know that the UK update must be ready as it has been customised and released for the carriers
