Webkit Browser - durch Android 2.2 Update Flash-fähig
...Englisch: Webkit browser- through Android 2.2 Update Flash-compatible
Nice!
Maybe we will see Froyo sometime soon.
Thanks for the heads up.
I just hope they ain't getting our hopes up for nothing.....
Too bad Motorola officially stated that it isn't yet even sure about a Milestone update. The O2 site is not Motorola. They may simply still believe what Moto said half a year ago - that the Milestone is Flash-ready, nothing more, nothing less.
i think i read Germany o2 was mistaken about the 2.2........
That's non-sense...they only say that flash WOULD work if 2.2 would be running...you shouldn't interpret to much in such sentences...

C'mon... the official froyo will be delivered by the end of Sep.
Not sure about this, its kind of contradicting. Although I don't know any german it states this is some sort of update for the webkit browser? Froyo's browser doesn't use webkit any more, it uses the V8 engine used in google chrome.

Motorola Milestone To Receive “Froyo” In September
lolz! Look who is talking.
Its hard to trust company like O2 which is already a non-trustworthy company. It sold millions of O2 XDA in India and other countries without service and support network. I bought one a year back and after few months I discovered they discontinued the support in India and suggesting to send fauty devices for service to Singapore, another third country.
Lolz! As obviously they are just resellers of Milestone, it seems they are going to send same fake MotoFrenzy2.2 to us with some branding changes....damn you O2. Keep your mouth shut.
Let Motorola speak themselves.

Why you are not sure? Now www.seeo2.com was closed which was working fine before with all products and details. Now that link goes to www.myxda.com and select support and select india. wait....why trust me. Check this screenshot with address of thier site.
O2 does not produce anything. They are simply resellers. They have different websites in different countries, but all of them are not properly organized and sell same devices with different names. If they are manufactures why they will sell models from sony, motorola, etc together on thier site? e.g. http://www.o2online.de/ sells blackberry samsung vivaz nokia netzabdeckung htc motorola surfstick milestone sony ericsson palm pre X6 X10 n97 mini iphone toshiba. its so funny to see all companies in one site. it looks like some kind of ebay shop.
Anyways check the screenshot about singapore service center notification. Now why someone will send his mobile to another country for repair? It is not logical and not even practical at the same time.
I dont trust it now at all. others may trust who dont know what o2 is...

O2 is a cell phone provider, i.e. they have a network, like Sprint or Verizon in the US, and they will sell you a phone to use on it, along with a contract. What's so unusual about that?
I don't know how coordinated they are internationally, so it's entirely possible the service is bad in one country but great in another, but no reason to bash them like this.
In Germany, Vodafone (another provider) and O2 ship customized firmware on their Milestones, which they test in-house. Same for other providers in other countries. That's why the 2.1 rollout was so fragmented, and that's also why O2 would know if 2.2 is coming, so there.

I'd suggest you do some research
V8 is a JavaScript engine, while WebKit is a complete browser engine. The two will happily run side by side in the same browser as long as you deactivate WebKit's built-in JavaScript engine.
Google has been doing just that in Chrome for a while now, and tweaked V8 for mobile use in Froyo. That doesn't mean they dropped WebKit though

I exactly meant what you said "they are not manufacturers." obviously I will express my own experience in my own country. O2 does not exist in India, they sold handsets with different branded outlets, gave support contract to some Indian local companies who never gave proper service and now they are telling us to send device to "Expansys, Singapore" This is so frustrating. I had to get it repaired by paying heavy amount from private service cente while in warranty and I could not even complain and the seller told me to send it to singapore. Bad O2, at least in India.
edit: O2 actually should not declare things like this on its own and wait for original manufacturers. Motorola is doubtfully quiet and others are declaring on thier own. I still hope Motorola will roll 2.2 froyo in next few months after all previous devices are rolled with 2.1 update. 2.1-update1 is still rolling down all over the world to many devices as per reports from android users from different countries with different brands. I got mine around 15 July.

None of the providers are manufacturers. None. They all provide/resell phones for several manufacturers. Unless what you are saying is that the subsidiaries or O2 partners in your country are selling phones but not servicing them?
O2 can declare what they want. Why do they have to 'wait on Motorola'? They are a major provider and would surely know better than you or me if an update is in the works. Maybe they heard something from Motorola that was not declared publicly.

Besides what they are saying on the site is as above:
Flash would work only IF Android 2.2 is on your phone.
More 2.2 news, this time from Optus in Australia:
http://ausdroid.net/2010/08/05/android-2-2-for-motorola-milestone-before-the-years-end/
o2 is a provider which, like almost every other provider, HAS software developers who does branding, updates and app-development, so I am SURE that o2 will provide a 2.2 update, no matter what Motorola will or won't do.
This is not really S5 specific but I wanted to share my frustration with Samsung support anyway, as this could happen to S5 owners too. I am in the Netherlands and bought a Samsung product here in the Netherlands but it is also sold in the US. I was having problems with this product and tried to google for a solution, I couldn' t find a solution but did find the US support page, I contacted the chat, they referred me to the dutch support but as it is a holiday here they are closed, so I came back to the US support who seemed to be manned. They refused to give me any answers, instead referring that they only can give support for products sold in the US. I give them the US page for the product I need support for, again the same answer only support for products sold in the US. So I tell if I need to set up a US VPN to get help.... and I eventually do I and get a different operator and ask the same question. I am asked if I am from Holland and I think WTF, I am using a VPN service, check my IP and yes I am in the US. So I try a different VPN and ask the same question, I am asked the same question: if I bought the product in the Netherlands, now I decide to outright lie and tell the operator I bought the product in Chicago (where I appear to be) and he just answered my question...
So, one person out of millions with a fairly abnormal situation has a bad experience with Samsung support and now all S5 owners should take caution?
Most S5 owners bought their phone through a carrier and 9 times out of 10 won't even have to deal with Samsung if an issue arises.
Call me crabby, but I see this as essentially a non-issue. Oh, and sorry you had to go through that bad experience.

And this is a problem because....i mean you buy from US, you get US service, you buy dutch, you get dutch service. It's not Samsung's fault your country has a holiday. There are many reasons why companies dont deal with outside countries. Rules, regulations, laws, language barriers. This is not Samsung's problem, this is your problem, nothing to do with the quality of customer service.
As an example, the European union, and Canada has rules that states that even if your warranty is over, the company is still responsible for their products if its within a reasonable delay of the end of warranty. Basically, if you buy a tablet, and you tablet breaks 2 months after warranty ended, by law, the company is obliged to service the product, this is not the fact in most other countries. You can't train an employee to understand all laws from all countries. For legal purposes, agents can only speak to customers that fall within their jurisdiction. Samsung, and many other companies do this because they do not want to be accountable for answers that dont reflect reality and then get sued for it.
Hey guys! Do not protect Samsung. Remember that the customer service is always the bad guys. Its bunch of part time afterschool workers who do not care. I have dealt with samsung, sony and HTC several times, it's always the same "retarded" answers I get. That said I do not know what we can learn from this thread. Everybody knows that when you buy hardware from the worlds biggest companies you are on your own if something happens....
What a lot of drivel! How ridiculous, you expect support from US for product you bought in another country where you live, where is the logic?
Nice thread.. hahaha
Hi, I was wondering if there's any information about when this phone is going to be available in sites like eBay or Amazon? I just see information about the playstore, and the mobile companies, but I'm not from USA, so I can only use either eBay or Amazon, I would appreciate your information, thanks!
Long time lurker here.
I've been trying desperately to find the international version of the Note 5 (N920i) for a few weeks now. I was about ready to buy one on eBay but hesitated until I knew it was compatible with AT&T, then it seems that all the listings for the 64gb version of the phone disappeared.
I've looked on Amazon and Newegg for options, but no sellers are offering the 64gb variant of the phone (preferably black). There is one listing on Amazon, but it will be a cold day in hell before I drop $1,200 on a device that I will probably upgrade in ~18 months. Some website called World Wide Voltage offers one, but there are too many complaints about them taking orders for items that have no stock.
Does anyone here know of any reputable importers/resellers that I could go through?
Hi,
you can use only reliable online shops that may be (Telco).Many Australians have taken to purchasing handsets outright from online vendors sourcing stock from overseas.A parallel importer often means you you can choose phones which may not be available locally, at all or until later in the year.
I got mine from www.t-dimension.com. Bought from them twice, got my phone within 3 days from HK to Australia.
Hey, I want to buy 64gb version, but I dont find any on Ebay.. just the 9208 ... Only carriers version are available? I'm from ARgentina, but I have a friend in USA that will send it to me so...
I am in the UK and am considering getting a dual sim (the L29 variant) of the Huawei P20 Pro.
Do you know of any store that sells the dual sim version (sim-free, unlocked), and that would ship to the UK? A reputable foreign store that would ship to the UK would be OK, too (but if from outside the EU, I must make sure that VAT and custom duties don't end up costing too much).
The only UK online store I have found is www.clove.co.uk , which is out of stock at the moment.
I understand Three UK sells the dual sim, but the Three signal is too unreliable where I live.
EE, Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse don’t sell the dual sim (I asked their chat tech support).
I have found some supposedly UK-based vendors in the UK, that sell at £690 vs Clove’s £790. It seems like a good price, but maybe too good to be true? I’d think a reputable store would give me more peace of mind.
Amazon UK lists two external vendors which sell at the same price as clove, but some user reviews mention the box was opened and the phone covered in fingerprints (used phone? Customs inspection? A return?).
Thanks!
I bought mine from Amazon France. Got fed up of looking for it in the UK
Wondamobile. Com
Thank you, guys.
@qwerty1q, have you tried wondamobile? Does the price really include VAT and custom fees, as they say? You don't think buying from a UK store like clove is worth the extra £100 or so?
@dreamWille, do you remember if you bought it directly from Amazon France or from a third-party vendor listed there? Searching Amazon France now, I get a vendor that has an address listed in Spain.
Thank you, guys.

I always buy directly from Amazon because of warranty purposes.
Check all the Amazon sites (Germany, Spain's, France etc)
One of them should have it in stock
Currently have a note 8 duos, have someone willing to trade for a p20 pro single sim. Worth the trade? Honest opinions?
Model CLT-L04, what is the difference in models?

Don't hijack other people's discussions. Asking a question by opening a separate thread would be better. Also bear in mind you're more likely to hear pro-Huawei opinions on Huawei forums, and pro-Samsung opinion on Samsung forums, because, clearly, each forum will be more populated by people who have chosen that brand

Common sense, as well as explicit rules in most forums, suggest it is frowned upon to hijack discussions and bring them off topic. If this is not true of XDA, I apologise because I didn't know. I still dare question, however, what the benefit is of reading a discussion about where to buy an item to then find messages about how that item compares with another one.
Think you'd be lucky from a contract perspective.
SIM free maybe.
Try uSwitch they've got some nuts deals.
Or just buy my Oneplus 5 off me
