note on T-Mobile

I'm looking for a quick answer here....
I live in London, UK,
And I've been offered a galaxy note, unlocked, brand new for £275.
What I need to know is, can I buy this and use my t mobile contract chip in this?
Reason for the question is that I called t mobile and they told me they ain't doing the note on t mobile yet.
My upgrade is due in august so in august I'll get my upgrade and sell it.
So can I do this???

my note is on tmobile uk
i bought it from tmobile uk on contract
works perfectly fine

Yes you can use note with tmobile u are in uk yes

I come off the phone earlier today from t mobile and after I showed interest in the note, he said he can put my name down for 1, as they released on t mobile yet
I just want to make sure if I buy this off someone, will it work with my t mobile chip?

Yes I'm in UK.
If this is the case, why are t mobile not selling this yet?

I got mine from phones4u but with the full monty on t mobile, so I would say yes! Also on the play store it shows it is a t mobile gt n7000, but beware you might feel you future upgrade is a downgrade after you've used it ;-)

Won't be a downgrade mate, as I'll be getting another 1 on my upgrade
Then either keeping it as backup, or selling it due to having an almost brand new 1.
Any normal person would just wait for their upgrade, but after having a play with the note, I need to get 1 asap. I've fell in love with it.

New update coming?

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.

This just seems to be an mk7 us release.

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.

The us gets it on thanksgiving lol

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

FYI, not only the States but Canada did not get the upgrade but I stopped feeling sorry about myself and installed the firmware anyway.

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?

Same reason why minimal notifications were available upon release, Samsung was rushing the release.

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.

How do I download Lollipop and is it worth it on the Note 3

While debating getting a new device after the Zenfone 2 not working out (looking for a dual SIM Lollipop phone)I am back to my Note 3 and am considering the upgrade except I can't find it. I have Smart Switch on my desktop and tried looking there too besides the usual place within settings on the phone but to no avail. Smart Switch does not show an available update. So all I got through settings was the most recent KK update dated in August. What am I missing? Didn't AT&T roll this out to customers? Why can't I find it? I don't want to root or do a custom ROM as I don't know what I'm doing in those areas and can't afford to brick my phone. Is Lollipop worth it on the Note 3?

Thanks. I did see that thread before. I meant did AT&T officially roll this out as an available update and if so, why isn't it showing up an available update? To be honest, I don't know the procedure above well enough to put Lollipop on to my Note 3 and I don't want to screw it up, especially after going through the ordeal I did with my Zenfone. I don't want to lose LTE on it, and so forth-I'd like it to be the official AT&T version. So the thing is-did AT&T actually roll it out? They seemed to, and my question is, if they did, why can't I download it through the normal software update channels then?

Yes it is official att software and are you on att network with an att Sim card if not you won't get ota from them you can also go to best buy and have them flash the most current software for you
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Tapatalk

Thanks. Yes. I'm on AT&T and it's an AT&T SIM card in the phone.So it's weird that it's not presenting me with an official OTA option. The SIM is provisioned for the Note 3. But thanks for the suggestion to go to Best Buy. I forget all about their Samsung section. They flashed an update once before for me when I was having problems. I forgot all about them.Next week though I'm likely getting a new phone so I may wait until I confirm that the new phone works out.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Free mobile app

Well, there is a release delay in the phone I'm planning to get so I did go to BB today and they gave me the Lollipop update. Thanks for the tip as I'll be using my Note 3 a little longer than planned, so I figured why not upgrade. It still was weird that AT&T servers weren't giving me the update being I have a proper AT&T SIM card and phone bought from them in thd first place. Go figure.

I have found Lollipop to be just fine on the Note 3. No issue with battery life. Am getting my new phone today finally so have enjoyed Lollipop.Note 3 is still a fine phone. Can't complain-just looking for dual SIM at a reasonable price point.

Verizon Update BOG9 Brings Samsung Pay Support

Checkend and pulled down an OTA update this morning that carries baseband version G925VVRU4BOG9. Among the boiler plate improvement info the install notes indicate in includes changes to support Samsung Pay. The OTA took what seemed to be about 5 seconds to download over wireless - must be small.

It means you'll have to download the Samsung Pay app from the play store once it's available there. Read somewhere else that that it was supposed to be available sometime today.

I sideloaded Samsung pay and it automatically updated and let me install the framework after that late last night. I set up a couple cards and can't wait to try it out today

Straight from Samsung Support!!
We expect the Samsung Pay app to be available for Verizon customers on Google Play Store on Wednesday, October 21st, in the afternoon.

sideloaded APK a few days ago on my Edge and Pay works as it should.
only 1 of my 2 banks were supported though and sadly the one i use most for personal is the one not supported

Just used it at a diner. Blew their minds. Works great even with a case on. I have three spigen neo hybrid

The app is on the playstore now. I just installed it, and as soon as I launch the app, it says I need to update the OS in order to use it.
I do not want to give up root yet. Since my bank is not yet supported, I guess this is not the most importnt thing for me at the moment.
For those of you who have gotten it setup, how is it? Is it a worthwhile feature?
