Hello,
I currently use an International Note N7100 and directly receive ROM updates from Samsung. Currently contemplating on buying T-mobile from a carrier.
How good is T-mobile in providing ROM updates? How much delay is between Samsung release and T-mobile release?
Thanks

I have been following the reviews of the US version of the note on AT&T, I think I would be buying it once it is released on the 19th Feb. My only concern is since I am base in the UK using TMobile UK 3G network, would I be able to use the phone in view of the fact that UK doesn't have 4G/LTE in services yet???? What about the effect on things like updates, warranty or any other thing. What are the pros & cons.
Please be as detailed as possible.
Thanks
Im on T-Mobile and will be going to a Sony store locally to possibly buy a Z. I have a Galaxy S4 currently and are tired of Samsung phones and total lack of updates from t-mobile so I will be selling it. The Sony store sells both the US unlocked version and the t-mobile version. The unlocked version has been updated, right? And receives updates directly from Sony? The t-mobile has not been updated yet? Also does the unlocked version get HSPA+ so data is fairly fast?
Thanks for the help

Yes on all of your questions. I'm not sure if it gets HSPA+42, but it will get 21 at least.
alternately all official sony updates will be available to dowload here on xda faster that it will get pushed to you. unless you're the first one getting it
hello everyone.
I got a gsm unlocked N-920A from AT&T and I'll be using it for other networks. I'm sure you all know how slow their rom is when it comes to updates. I plan on installing an international rom on it but I unfortunately lack the expertise to know if it will work.
google isn't much help here as it keeps showing other things.
if there's a way. what exactly would I need to do. and would it automatically update when the note 7 UX and nougat are released?
thank you for your time
Is is possible to have a stuck rom that let's me get updated direct from samsung instead of from my carrier which likely won't push security updates.

From what I understand, if you have a US model snapdragon note 8, any US SD version can be flashed. Example , you have a Verizon note 8, you can flash the unlocked US note 8 software on it and be good to go.
Keep in mind , some things may or may not work, like visual voice mail or Wi-Fi calling.

I live in Canada. I just want Samsung updates from samsung. I just don't want to wait for a carrier to take tier time and push the update late on hopes I might buy a new phone or something.
Hey XDA, I've got a question about phone software updates that maybe someone could enlighten me on:
What determines when a particular phone will get an update? I guess I'm not entirely clear on how updates are rolled out.
For example: I have a Note 9 that I bought refurbished. It was originally running the AT&T version before I flashed the unlocked firmware. I currently use the note 9 with unlocked firmware (no carrier specific bloat, just samsung and facebook stuff) on the TMobile network.
Since I've started using the phone I've always been about a month or more behind on the latest updates. Currently I am on the December 1st 2018 Security update and I have been patiently waiting for the Pie update. Who/what determines when I will get this update? Is it Tmobile, At&t or samsung
OS Update releases are dependent on when the device manufacturer would release them in what country.
Being unlocked currently, you are waiting with the rest of us to get the update after the other 4 carriers have released it. Right now we are all waiting on TMO, once they have released we should not be far behind.
They do this to make sure there won't be any issues regardless of the carrier you are on. Sucks, I know.
