I tried the check for update option on my phone yesterday without joy but then connected via Kies at it was there.
It might be because I got my handset before official uk launch and was therefore imported from Europe?
i hate the way that the uk always seems to get everything last
as for OP, just checkecd kies again, nothing
Still nothing on wifi or kies, UK sucks, we give so much to many countries n always get everything last, so annoying

Any news yet on uk roll out? Anyone had it yet

isnt it only Germany that has it so far?
I can tell you when this update will arrive. I'm going to be out of the country next week, I bet the update lands just after I walk through airport security and can't update until I get back. Either that or when I fly out again in July. I just have a jinx for things like this.

Ironic that there are developing and commercially marginal nations (Nepal???) that are getting Samsung love before the UK, France, Sweden, Ireland etc...
Makes me feel so valuable as a customer.
I know the feeling, another thing that is annoying is they are already talking about jelly bean and a galaxy note 2 which has a possible release date for autumn, sort of takes the Mickey a bit ay

The way global rollouts work is that they often release the software to nations with very few of the devices and see if there is a significant spike in errors/bugs/repairs and then roll it out to nations with larger numbers of device users
them avoiding the uk is a blessing because: do you want to do a firmware update to a firmware that can brick your phone?
just wait until the bugs have been ironed out and then we will get it
id much rather wait an extra month and have a decent rom than flash a half-baked rom and then go through all the hassle of getting my device repaired!
and anyway, if your so desperate to go ics - grow a pair and flash it yourself
I have a German Note (imported from amazon.de) and got the ICS update through Kies as soon as it was released.
First impression - I really didn't know what all the fuss was about.
Second impression - What is it with all these wakelocks and battery drains?
Third impression - Maybe it's a little smoother when running properly, but not chalk and cheese in performance.
I'm sticking with ICS, because it's working for me and I can't be bothered to fiddle-ass about, but I wouldn't lose sleep over any delays, especially if it means getting a better product and less fracking about trying to get the damn thing to run smoothly.
Fair points there, just makes ya wonder why they are already talking about the next update and next phone when they haven't perfected this one yet, PS I would flash roms but I had a galaxy s 1 and it's so hit and miss finding a ROM that a suits the operator

It as alot to do with it. Our carriers have alot more control over what is put on the phone. Plus most of the OEM are Europe based with a much larger market area. This has always been the case and always will be. Main reason I no longer by US based phones. I am willing to pay more for the phone for better updates. Hell the euro version of the phones sometimes gets updates the US version never sees
How do you get the euro phones?

Order them at full price from different sites. On the for mobile solutions is a good one as others. It does take a little bit more research to make sure you get a device that works on your data bands. Like att. I can order a phone from Telstra in Australia and it will work on my 3G network. Yes it is more expencive but it bypasses alot of things. Mainly now with the government adding the chip to our phones for them to send texts directly to our phones with no way to prevent it or turn it off.
.
Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.

Because there is just too much carrier politics in USA. And, of course, they are willing to pay everyone to STFU and/or GTFO.
Just wondered how long it takes Samsung to roll out an update normally? ICS has been out only in Germany, and, its been a few days with no other countries seeing an update.
This is my first Samsung (and Android) device, so quite interested!
I live in the UK and have a Sim-free handset from Amazon UK.

Nah it is official release, but as it has many issues I don't think they roll it out to other country's so as it is. So they will produce a new one, I guess they will roll it out on Germany first, as I have mentioned on other threads it is like the la1 a buggy gingerbread at mid of January's if I remember right.

The same thing happened with the galaxy s2, the initial ics rollout had so many issues, everyone had to revert. I don't think the issues where quite as severe as ours though

I know we have a lot of threads discussing 4.3 already, but those seem to be for people who have successfully downloaded it and worked with it. I'm curious to see how many others are still waiting on the update. I live in Canada and so far I've seen no sign of it, my device tells me I'm still up to date with 4.2.2. I don't have 3G but I regularly connect to WiFi.
It's not a very big deal... the update doesn't seem to have much that I need, except maybe a slightly faster speed when doing things. But yeah, I'm curious. Share your locations if you're still waiting.
EDIT: I really wish there was a way to edit the titles for threads...
EDIT 2: Thank you for that.

Im in russia with a UK model still waiting. Im too busy at the moment to actually flash it so im going to be patient and wait for OTA.
It seems we are always last on the list here to get OTA or any updates.
Could any Russian users post and let me know if they have the update
Kind regards

Canada here,
Still waiting on my N4 and N7.
N4 is on and off 3G doesn't seem to make a difference.
Last time around, the N7 got it within the week and N4 had to wait 2+ weeks until it arrived.
Austria; 212K N4 (stock everything) still nothing ...
I am on a custom rom and I am too lazy to go back to stock. Would wait for a week untill PA or CM have cooked their 4.3 builds.
UK, London - Tried the framework thing - Nothing....
Phone bought in UK, using Norwegian sim-card. Now travelling in Europe. Have checked (WIFI) in Germany, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Still nothing.
Croatia still didnt get it hopefully soon
No updates in Bangladesh either...

got tired of waiting after the OTA zip was published. downloaded the thing and sideloaded it. easy as pie and stopped me from checking the damn system update like an addict
check the excellent OTA thread, it should be easy enough for moderately literate geeks to flash it in a breeze

I am waiting, but not for the OTA that arrived on my phone a couple of days ago. I am waiting for all the bugs to get squashed and for the apps to get updated to accommodate 4.3.

In the UK just received the update
Austria. Got it offered today via OTA. Default System w unlocked bootloader. Installed wo problems.

I have been a big supporter and early adopter for a lot of their consumer electronics , phone and computers. The way they handled this last firmware for the US is unacceptable. I can understand a few day lag in rolling this update out but to take away the limited functionality that this watch had to begin with and have no solution for us is crazy. Expecting us to jump through technical hoops and hacks is unrealistic.
Have they even acknowledged this as an issue? I only heard of a couple countries to have the new firmware is only the US impscted?

If you want to vent you should be venting about the lack of a damned sdk. That is extremely annoying.
yea im in the same boat, after waiting for about a week with NO EXCHANGE EMAIL!!!! notifications. I said screw it and flashed the UK MK7 and loaded Null11.1 At least now it can do SOMETHING, still cant get exchange email via default stock mail client...well i get the notification then have to check the phone......LAME!
I bet they fix it b4 the price drop on black friday....at least they better. in the meantime you can root your phone and edit the build.prop and change it from US to SPain to restore fucntionality.

I have flashed the UK and it works great. Why wait? It is an official release, just for the UK. I think US get last on a lot because of all he laws/regulations and the number of users. Release it to the lower number to filter out the bugs. If all is well release to the rest.
Then don´t buy Samsung. Over here in Mexico we dont get any more support than in USA and Canada and we are not whining about it.

One issue with the UK is that you still have to put on the hacked email app to be able to get Microsoft exchange notifications. I am hoping that they fix the manager and gear update to take care of this problem. Also I have notifications working now but they get stacked on top of each other in Exchange, when several come in close together.
That's my issue too. I don't want to use a broken exchange solution just to get the mail that should be working . I am NOT a big complainer but this too has really pushed my button expect more from Samsung on this particular for us early adopters

This is not a "problem/bug" its a security layer implemented by Samsung..
Exchange mail requires a pass lock to be active on Samsung's official app. You may use exchange mail as a every day feature, although people use it mainly for business purposes.
Reason why they force you to view it on your device, your device should be secured with keyguard so your identity can be verified before displaying the email.
Well if that was the case why did the first version work?

Not Whining...
Is just the principal..
You never leave US out...
We the largest consumers in Electronics..
What pisses me of is some of these countries with the update probably have 10 people that own the device.
Lol there's a hostile mob in this thread.
There's nothing wrong with pointing out that the US was left behind with these updates. Yes, I could break out Odin and manually update the Gear myself (and I did exactly that). However, it's ridiculous that the update is taking this long for US customers. I mean, is there a reason why this should be the case? It's going to be the exact same update that everyone else received.
I just don't get it. And frankly I don't understand why you guys are being so passive about it. If the firmware had not been made available by samsungupdates, then everyone would still be **** out of luck.
Running UK version myself but what the heck. Every time someone posts a thread about the US update all the stupid people come out and tell us to install the UK version. My gear IS NOT working flawlessly unless I happen to have a phone from the UK too. As many have pointed out, exchange does NOT work and its not that way because of security trying to protect us. Or is it just people in the US that needs this so called security feature.
Exchange in Europe works with UK ROM, exchange in US plus UK ROM/firmware =FAIL.
If you don't need exchange...good for you, but don't say UK firmware works flawlessly for US customers. It just works flawlessly for the features you happen to use.
