My dad purchased a new Galaxy S III mini online. It arrived with a European charger and in a foreign language. Which one I don't know. Anyway, he managed to get it switched over to English but apparently it will only connect to 2G. I had him check under networks and he says GSM is the only option.
It's this a firmware issue I could correct?
Getting info from him has been like pulling eye teeth and he is well over 1500 miles away and only slightly less in years.
Thanks in advance.

Why not flash a rom from your country?

Looks like my dad has lost interest, at least four the time being, in fixing this issue so, unless he ships the phone to me whereby I can flash rom's, etc., I'll consider the issue closed.
If there is any change, I'll post the results.

I guess S3 mini is forbiden on the US market due to Samsung lost at court with Apple.
Might help to try to flash ROM from region using the same baseband. Australia?

The improved notifications is already part of the MK7 update, right? But hey, "improvement to the lift-and-pause gesture that activates the clock"... Good good... great! Can't wait to test that out.
Update: it is the US version of the MK7 update that was rolled out earlier in Europe.

I thought that too, but the improved wake up gesture? Didn't noticed anything about that in the MK7 version I installed last week.
It's in the mk7 release. Check the motions section of the settings panel.

You mean the option to wake up with the last used screen? I wouldn't call that an "improvement to the lift-and-pause gesture that activates the clock" (quote Engadget).
What about an SDK??? I would love to see way more apps for this thing
Whats the difference between the mk7 US version amd the UK version. I flashed the mk7 UK version on mine and im from US.

I would like to have any market app that we have been sideloading be able to be pulled down and installed in the Gear directly like Google Music. I hate having to reload it and all others every time there is an update. Perhaps a default music player and video player would be awesome.

I read 11/29.
I wonder how this will come about. Will they have to release a new version of Gear Manager? I never updated to the 1.5 version so just wondering what to look for since I don't want to install the version again without the US firmware update. I know I can always turn to XDA to get the news too

Im still waiting for it too; Im in the Bay Area and my 14th day return expires close of business tomorrow.
I saw elsewhere we will get it on 11/29. Looking forward to it!
I was about to do the UK update since Sammy as usual drags their feet to support US customers. But given its supposed to arrive tomorrow I will just wait another day, can't hurt.
As for the Gear Manager, where do we update that? Is it part of the Samsung Hub app in the Samsung folder?

Gear Manager should update on the phone, and to the latest version. Swipe down from top of screen, click on Samsung Galaxy Gear, then click on the name of your device, then click Software Update, then click Update and agree to check for a new one. Latest version should end in MK7. This is what broke the Exchange email notifications for many, or all, of us in the USA. Hopefully they update the Gear software and this phone software, as I heard both must happen to get Exchange back and working.
Did anyone notice that the GM had a new date today and yestersay but it looks like the same version. Can someone verify? Still no updated US firmware

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.

Hello! I have a question for the z1....
I'm looking to get a z1 but I am trying to get the right model to support the AT&T LTE network. I believe it's bands 17 and 4 that are mostly used which leaves me only the c6906 for only option (correct me if I'm wrong please).
The problem is I don't see anything for this model on the Sony store anywhere. How or where do I get one?
The current one listed on the Sony store is the c9602 I think. Would that still work?
Thanks again!

Yea I don't think the c6902 will with getting you 4G LTE. I was going to get the C6903 but thought I would be better off with the C6906 since it has all the bands baked in. Can't go wrong with that.
I was lucky to get mines on eBay from a seller in Miami. Brand new untouched! three seconds left on the auction. The others don't see it coming, bet they were all pissed! Lol
