Just checking in. A D858HK user here.
For anyone else wanting to put a quick circle case for their Dual-LTE G3, please take note that the contact points of the D858HK do not align with the wireless charging contact points of the cover. The wireless charging contact points of the single sim variants are on the upper right part on the back, while the contact points of the dual sim iteration are slightly lower and on the left. Plus, the Quick Circle Case for the simple sim units do not close flush onto the dual sim versions.

The question is when we will get lollipop

Correct.
You can purchase the 858HK edition's quick circle case, which has different alignments for the NFC, as pictured here:

Don't really have a website for it - I bought it at a local mobile store in Hong Kong

Is there any custom rom for D858HK ?

looks like there is a working twrp img for 858hk
Too bad i am not allowed to post link here

Checking in: I just received my 858HK last week.
The device is perfect, its specification along with the dual SIM was so attractive that I couldn't resist upgrading my HTC one m7 to it. Upgrading from the m7 stupid ultra-pixel camera was really huge
After one week of usage I can tell I am happy with my decision.
The only drawback I noticed is that the model we have is also affected by the screen sharpness isssue of other models mentioned here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/general/hilariously-stupid-sharpness-fix-t2874587
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/orig-development/fix-stock-kernel-oversharpening-fix-t2951620
I compared the screen with my friend's 855, and the issue is not present in his device. He is on stock rom
I hope our model gets more support on the forum!

I've just bought this case in HK, so is this one good for wireless charging too?? Any Qi charger will work?
I thought the contact points were only for the flip cover to display the clock

I've also tried... Don't think it actually works (My colleague has the official LG Wireless Charging Dock with official cable and adapter, it works for the D855 but not on D858HK).
Nonetheless, it's not recommended to use the wireless charger as it seem to be buggy (hardware?) you can google the issue and read up a bit about user woes...

Are we ever gonna get root support for this phone?
or is the big wait just for lollipop and hope for that be rooted one day?

Slow?

Yes, I just bought one yesterday and found that it's 10f already and cannot root! =(
I heard that downgrading back to 10d can root, but I don't know how to do this downgrade.
Can anyone advise? Thanks a lot.

Checking in
Dear All,
I just want to check in.
I bought the D858HK yesterday as an upgrade from D805, which I loved, but i needed a dual sim. I choose the HK version because it was a lot cheaper in Hungary.
I am on v10f unfortunately so stump is not working. I am willing to root as soon as a solution pops up.
I am glad that we at least have this forum with you guys.
I am not worried about wireless charging as it is slow and risky be my opinion as well. I hate flip covers so the only issue is rooting and being able to use exposed. I hope we will get a solution or guide soon, It would be a great Christmas gift
Happy holidays to you all!
Kind Regards,
Endre

Samsung Galaxy S2 w/ NFC Indian Version Quick Review (UPDATE: No NFC [for now])

Hey,
I finally got my SGS2 and its awesome!
https://picasaweb.google.com/tanmay.sonawane/SamsungGalaxyS2
I won't go into reviews and stuffs thats already been reviewed and said over 100 times.
I'll just jot down whatever the Indian version has different from its other brothers.
1. So apparently the Indian version ships with a Samsung Leather Case (as seen in the pic below among other standard accessories) :
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/Rm_zEUrNlkE4djMA-JLVBg?feat=directlink
2. The Indian version seems to come pre-installed with the XWKE8 update. Correct me if wrong but afaik XWKE7 is the latest.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
3. The NFC was so far the highlight feature but I'm still not able to find any mention of it anywhere. If our XDA Korean members can help me find out, that'd be great!
A test with an Application called ZDevice Test was unable to detect the presence of a NFC Chip.
4. Contrary to rumors I didn't find any 8Gb SD Card preinstalled.
5. No Music Hub.
I'll post more as and when I find any differences.
If you have any doubts of your own, feel free to ask! I'm prolly gonna be up all night
Cheers!
Edit:
I took a pic of the back. And I guess this is the NFC Sensor? Can anyone confirm this?
http://cl.ly/3Y2R080f3D0k1A392S0Q/NFC_.jpg
Edit 2:
Ok so I'm pretty sure (according to all comments) the Indian version DOES NOT have NFC. Samsung India gave us false dreams and broke our hearts!
Edit 3:
Ok I've done some initial tests with the battery and there are 2 scenarios:
1. (Yesterday) 1am to 10am (on Standby) : AirPlane Mode On : Battery Drain just 4% (from 60% to 56%)
2. (Today) 3am to 10am (on Standby) : Power Save Mode On : Battery Drain 26% (from 30% to 4%)
So inshort the Android System battery bug exists. Here's a screenshot of the battery tool for usage from 1pm June 3 to 10 am June 4 :
Edit 4 :
According to Letsbuy, the official retail partner for selling the SGS2 in India, NFC will be activated in the Future Ice Cream Sandwich update.
Letsbuy said:
Samsung India Update 04-Jun-2011: All the handsets purchased from Letsbuy.com on pre-order shall be equipped with ON board NFC chipset,Which shall be usable after upgrade of OS Android 3.0 honeycomb(Code name Ice Cream Sandwitch).(Future Update)

Well the credibility of this post is not yet known. Check out the above reply made here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14446675&postcount=2411
Edit 5 :
According to this article. NFC Sensor is embedded onto the body in SGS2 as opposed to the backpanel in Nexus S.
So we still might stand a chance with Indian SGS2's having NFC.

Do you see the yellow tinge on the left with a gray background and low brightness?
Edit: And congrats on being the first of us here to get the Indian version and making the rest of jealous
Yes there is a slight yellow tint when you check it with this page : http://fiddle.jshell.net/qFxsC/1/show/
Looks like this is a global issue and every SGS2 produced so far will have it.
But let me add that this is in no way a major issue.
With normal phone usage I bet it's impossible (if at all) to notice.
I assure you, any normal user, if not told about this yellow tint will not even come to know. Its that unnoticeable!
Thanks for the confirmation.
Was hoping against hope that they'd have fixed it in later production batches, however doesn't look like it.
Enjoy the phone!

Yeah, I agree, looks like it's very minor in most of the cases reported here.
Hope you don't have any of the other possible defects being mentioned here.

Maybe you're not able to see it(which is a blessing in disguise!).
People here are yet to see a picture of a screen without that issue although the severity seems to vary.
Can u list the bands please.

Can you post a pic of the back and the back cover?
Do you have the Pink Camera Spot problem?
And I don't think the i9100 will have NFC unfortunately, only the i9101.
Hi Tanmay, Congrats! I want to know how does it feel in the hand - too big, manageable, will get used to? I know this has been done to death, but still would like to know.
Hi tanmay for how much time you charged it
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Hi Tanmay!.. Congrats again
Can you post a pic of the backplate and battery?.. Then I can figure out (I've developed on NFC hardware earlier in my Job) if the NFC Antenna are there. Please do.
I've posted a pic of the back. There's a tiny sensor which looks like the NFC sensor to me.
The back cover however, is all plastic and there's no mark or anything like that on the plastic back.

Ohh well. Then I'm afraid the Indian version too doesn't have NFC.
Is not having NFC a big issue? Would those NFC stickers be inferior in any way?
BTW just to confirm, are there any other known differences in the version being sold in India (I9100) and elsewhere(I9101 and I9103 etc)? I am planning to get it here in India.
This thread and other websites seem to suggest NFC chip is the only difference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103256
BTW does anyone here have any feedback on the Indian mobile retail chain Univercell, they seem to have a pretty reasonable price (if along with a crappy website).

This is how NFC is embedded in Nexus S,
Does your SGS2 posses anything similar on the back cover?
P.S.
To read more about NFC and how it is attached in Nexus S & how it works, heres an article that might help you,

A Nuukey bluetooth keyboard for the iPhone; I had seen one of these before online and thought if it could be some way retrofitted onto another phone. It was a
pretty lucky find in that I was able to inspect it hands on. I thought since I had blown all my money anyways, so why not try it. Here is what I have so far:

Pretty cool! Why can't they start making stuff like that more ofen for androids? I guess they change so much. Hopefully they stick with the design for the atrix for the next few years and there will be more of a market for our phones.

It's the one thing that I'm missing from my old HTC 8125 and 8525.
Ugh playing roms on those things was infinitely more fun when I had buttons to press.
Edit: Also, if anyone stumbles upon a keyboard that connects via usb rather than over Bluetooth, please share.
this is fantastic. now what you should do is pick up an extra battery cover and outfit the sliding joint to it. i wonder how hard that would be. i have been trying to figure out this exact mod for months

Youtube vid shows it on, slight modification necessary however. Definitely think I might do this once I have some money.
I think a USB keyboard in this form factor would be fantastic, less battery consumer, and it shouldn't be so hard with the USB-host support, I'm right?
Why we don't suggest it to Nuu?

I kind of like this idea, plus then you could use it in places where bluetooth might be prohibited. Also makes your phone less open having bluetooth off.

Well it's been two days and there is some bad news after sliding it back and forth the springs gave out and there is too much pressure being put on the slide plate causing it to bend. I'm going to have to modify how its mounted before releasing instructions; I dont want anyone wasting their time or money.

U8 Smart Watch Clone

its a U8 Smart Watch Bluetooth International its has on it a sleep monitor and all the other stuff that comes with the U8..
I flashed it with all of the firmware on the U8 thread and now it boots with a tune and a white screen,any help would be great right now.
I know now its a clone...;(
If you open it up,it has SH08_MB_V2.0 on the board under the speaker and MEDITEK ARM MT 6260DA chip.
If you have a picture of the board post it.
The more people know about this the better..
You have the right for a replacement or your money back cos its not real and they are selling it as it is.so contact the seller if you got it from ebay,I took mine apart and put it back together and still got a replacement.

to me happened the same, tried all firmweres I found on the net and despite they installed the only difference was the music of the on and off were different as firmwere.
I think my phone is a fake version or a new hardware and the firmwere of the real U8 is different.
If you have one of these post about it here,the way you know its a clone is it don't have a About page.
It might be a good idea this post been a sticky.

3 weeks ago I have also bought one of these, not knowing it was a clone. It has only 3 pages, no stopwatch, no about page, but outside it looks the same.
On my box there stood: multilanguage Bluetooth watch..
Hi,same issue here.
I bought a smartwatch U8 from ebay, but I flashed with the last firmware as I tought is U8, looks like is not , I have white screen and with a tune . It was very strange as the about option in settings was missing. I know for sure now that it is a clone.
Any help would be appricietted.
Cheers
I flashed mine and it didn't work just a white screen,so I contacted the seller on ebay and i sent it back and got a new one yesterday so if this has happen to you send it back for a replacement you have the right to cos its a clone.
if you have one that still works, maybe you could make a backup and post it here?
funny how they clone a clone
(i see the original u8 as a cheap SW2 clone, front touch buttons have the same layout, watch also looks similar)
Wanted firmware u8 clone
Also I am in the same situation some of you to factory firmware of this u8 clone?
I can not find the name of the factory any of you who know something more '?
I bought on ebay china and the seller: "liwandasha78" which does not respond to messages.
anyone have the firware for this watch?:good:
I think I got one of these Clones.
Is there a way to make the U8 Clone vibrate when you receive a text message or have a phone call?
someone please make a backup of the firmware from this watch and put here to recover the ones that tried to update with the real u8 firmware and now only start a white screen.:good:
Just got one of these (on purpose). I could pull the firmware if someone could point me to how to do so.

All Nexus devices have received fantastic dev support, I don't see why this would be any different.
Maybe not a noob question but looking at the past and devices with a sd810, what do you think... did Huawei solve te heat issue with their nexus phone? That is my biggest concern about it and camera hump will easy get cover by case, hopefully

we wont be getting any answer until users will have this device in their own hands...
this is same story as the oneplus 2... they say its not gonna heat because of the lower core power combo with the sd810 but some users still experienced heat issues after using the device for some time...
so possible that the answer would ,, yes theres still heating up , or no its cool now...
so again we have to wait for the real world experience...
Will the USB Type C cable that comes with the phone work with my old USB chargers, external batteries, etc? Is the connection that doesn't plug into the phone a regular USB connection that will plug into my computer? I haven't been keeping up with the USB Type C stuff..

Your old USB chargers should work; the underlying USB standard's backward's compatible so it shouldn't have any problem drawing power from older USB chargers that supply the necessary voltage to the device. I have a OnePlus 2 and I'm able to use the accompanying cable with a variety of chargers.
any word on a CAT 6 modem for carrier aggregation ( especially on sprint/Fi)
Just making sure, the phone works with Verizon, right? I know it has all the correct bands. I'll just pop in my SIM and be good to go?

I noticed that the 6P has down clocked it as well from 2.0 to 1.8, the OPT definitely throttles when you game for a while and gaming tests have shown this how the phone starts lagging.
Even when you run benchmarks continuously the scores keep going down.
Is this something we should be concerned about? Or is the following happening with the OPT because of how they have configured their OS plus the OPT definitely gets hot when playing games on it for a while.
Will verizon carry this phone and if so will they lock it down like they've done to most of the Samsung devices

None of the US carriers are carrying the device. I just want to know if we can use it on Verizon at all. It supports all of their radio bands.
Micro sim (n5) to Nano Sim (n6p)... cut to resize or order new Sim and transfer number?

I've read that even with the open source hardware driver binaries, the nexus devices still typically suffer from issues with custom ROM's like certain features not working. Is this true, and if so why?
I love this phone and I'm looking forward to getting a CM or custom CM based ROM with theme support to make the OS look cool. Personally I find plain Android to be ugly. Better functionally wise but ugly, so a CM based ROM on the Nexus 6P with Project Fi service seems like the best of all available worlds.

I watched the Nexus event live and also it has been confirmed on numerous sites, this will definitely work on Verizon's network, as long as you have a nano sim for Verizon.
I heard of issues with the Moto X where you had to call customer service with your phone info, but even if this phone has the same issues, bottom line is it will work.
Ok when they say "The camera has the largest pixel of any smart phone." Are they referring to the camera sensor itself? I've never heard of a camera component be referred to as a pixel
Either way, I can't wait to get my hands on the 240 fps goodness.

ZTE Axon 7 Enhanced... what are your thoughts?

Hi Guys,
Not a lot of chatter here on the Enhanced model (6gb RAM), wanted to get your thoughts:
1. Has anyone bought the phone? Is it worth the extra RAM, ROM, and Force Touch? It still has no lit up Capacitive keys, right?
2. Is there a way to Unlock the bootloader and Root it? And more importantly, is there a way to RE-LOCK the bootloader and Unroot the phone?
Thanks for your thoughts and opinions.
I've actually got it. I must say it is worth it. Though it only comes in gold and would have liked the silver,but other than that it's awesome.

I gotta say I haven't had any issues with it either, it's been a very solid phone and worth the extra money.
Though I wish Zizo Wireless would make a case for it already lol

What about rooting and unlocking bootloader?

Same as the other models.
Okay. This model, despite the hideous gold color, seems to meet all of my needs. bootloader unlockable, verizon compatible (i already have an activated nano sim and i know to allow roaming), and 6 gb RAM/128GB ROM. So the only question/hesitation i have left is: Will all of the android development for the Axon 7 still work for this model considering the RAM and storage are different? if so, this is my perfect phone. anyone running custom roms on the 128/6? if so, is it the same as the 64/4? thank you all!

Guys - Thank you for all the responses! XDA notifications are not quite working right for me, otherwise I would have responded quicker.
Couple of follow up questions:
1. Why is the 6gb model worth it, you think? Do you guys have real world examples? (despite the Gold color )
2. For the ones that did the rooting, unlocking the BL, TWRP and etc, can you please link the guides you used?
3. Anyone have a guide/method confirmed to return to stock and relock the Bootloader, in case I don't end up liking the phone?
4. The Enhanced model does NOT have the backlit capacitive keys, correct? :'(
5. Any tips you guys compiled for taking the best shots with the phone? Maybe in manual mode? To compensate for the poor camera quality on the phone?
Thank you again!

Do you find force touch is useful?

Anyone have the files to unlock bootloader, and root this phone that aren't corrupt?

I don't find it useful. It's just an empty marketing bullet.

True. Half the time it doesn't work.
