Hi,
According to some news, it's specific to US carriers.
And there's an application on the market that costs $1 that delete it if it's already installed on your phone.

Galaxy tab update question

I have a Verizon tab. When i left verizon i cancelled the data service on it and just either tether to my phone or use wifi at home. I guess the update for gingerbread will probably be OTA for these devices. Since i have no real connection to the verizon network how am i able to do this? Sorry for the noob question.

If you had searched or read any other topics before creating this one you would already know that Gingerbread is not available anywhere yet except Italy.
Also you can just download Samsung Kies, You have no need to update OTA. IMO it would be much better to update your device with a custom rom rather then stock and you can do that now instead of waiting.
BTW, Please ask "Questions" in the "Questions" forum, that why its called "Q&A" and has a subtitle of "For all of your questions..."

You know.. in all the forums I've been to - I've seen so many wasting their time with 'if you had just searched' and you guess what - it won't change anything. Who cares if this person wants to start a discussion about an update...
To answer the OP's question - You need not receive the update via OTA. If/When one emerges, you'll be able to find it online.
I've got a Sprint Tab and I to use it as a WiFi only device. However, I was able to receive two OTA updates when I first got it. (It was out of date when I bought it).
So it's more than likely that you'll still be able to receive them. If not, again, don't worry - you'll be able to find an update.zip file for it when and if one becomes available.
I knew the update was only available in italy at the moment. I searched for my question that was toward the updates with no 3g connection that i could not find. I cant use kies with my device so i guess ill see what happens in the next few months. thanks

No but maybe the new XDA video will. The video will soon be shown to all new XDA members during/after signup.

[Q] Remove yahoo from o2 branded HD7

Just got an HD7 and was absolutely gutted to find that for some stupid reason O2 have changed the search from bing to yahoo when you hit the hardware search key in IE. Is there anyway to change this without jailbreaking my phone? Or anyway to completely remove O2 made changes from the device?
Cheers!

I Changed it before, But it requires you to change registries inside the phone, so you have to be chevron unlocked, if you want to do it I shall post the codes if you need them, there in another thread here on xda
Noticed you've debranded your Phone, Disregard this then

Thanks anyway DavieGee, was considering just removing the yahoo search but I guess I'll get updates faster if I debrand it so may as well!

On my Xperia V (12-20150502-NIGHTLY-tsubasa):
1. Problem with NFC - is not working.
2. The problem with time zones - in the installation steps "set the network" - is not displayed correctly (behind 1 hour). Xperia V with standard firmware works correctly.
3. The problem with speakerphone during a call - very strong background noise. When removing the back cover - everything works well, if you bring the phone (with the back cover removed) a hand or other object (eg metal) - the noise reappears.
This is only a small part of all possible problems ...

Guess what! I have already updated it into CM12 yesterday. I am facing one serious problem.
Every time I want to open gallery it shows warning "no external storage available " then exits form the app.
That's why I can't save pic after capturing .
Please give me a solution if you can because I could not find one.
Thank you for your reply

Then you're not looking correctly; by now it is literally one of the most asked questions, kind of hard to believe you actually searched and/or missed any information regarding that problem on the OP of the thread you downloaded your ROM from.

This is how I give tech solutions to someone who has barely 8 posts and opens another thread to ask a question that is being asked every other day, instead of searching in the thread he downloaded the ROM from, or even searching the forums for a thread already open and dedicated specifically to the same question.
Also, at least I'm replying... try to wonder why no one else has replied to your post, considering by this time that everyone has most likely read about this problem and already knows the solution. Don't be lazy, search, and if you need help with problems, people will help you; but do your homework first because this is not a tech support forum.

Sorry Antiga, I didn't mean to offend you. I feel kinda afraid about this kinds of things. That's why I keep posting threads .
And thanks again for your reply.

Lol, dude, why would I be offended? I'm not offended at all, I'm just trying to get you to use the search function which is there for a reason, starting in the thread where you downloaded your ROM from.

Any way of Sim Unlocking Tab S2 (t715 specifically)?

Found and tried this, but alas no - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=843323
O2 in the UK won't unlock it unless it was bought from them directly (it wasn't )
Unlocking websites don't seem to have the Tab S2 as an option to unlock and nor does the GalaxSim Unlock app.
Anyone got any ideas?
Programmer Z3X Box will help you.
Dont much fancy paying >£100 for the privelidge tho. Thanks. Would rather just sell tab and buy one unlocked.
You asked for a solution. I told you a possible solution. Pay the money or not, you have to decide.
Did you try 'regional unlock"? Search for it on XDA.
i'll put your rudeness down to english probably not being your first language.
thanks anyway.
