Samsung account country selection

I got myself a new gt8.9 while visiting family in Greece.
I'm Belgian myself.
When checking under settings, for system Updates, I am forced to pick a country for my Samsung account it seems...
Are the updates going to be related, filtered, by the country that I pick?
Should I pick some neighboring country that gets updates faster?
I now have android 3.1... P7300XWKI3
Thx

FWIW
I picked Belgium as country.
Not getting any official updates

I have never received a update the official way, I just can't wait that long. I flash updates with Odin.

Pre Order in Europe ?

Hi, do you know or something leak about the pre-order in Europe ? In Germany and Belgium it's still showing that "this device isn't available in this country" ..

699 Euro on Amazon Italy:
http://www.amazon.it/Motorola-Google-Nexus-Smartphone-Italia/dp/B00OLSTJR2/

Same in France, however one of the three big operators, Bouygues, has posted on its Facebook page a few days ago that it will carry the phone. When asked by the press about the dates, they said from "around" mid November while the other two operators said that they won't be carrying the phone.
If I'm to speculate, I'd say that the uncertainty regarding either the release or the price is due to negotiations Google possibly started late with each European country's operators. It seems to me and it's mostly a wish, that the price supposedly leaked earlier this month from the inventory of a German store is more plausible; that honest €569. If so, then that's great and much better than the other speculated €649.

Anyone got any news about availability on the UK

Just this at the moment.

ONEPLUS 5

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone know if any UK providers (o2 ideally as that's who I have my OP3 with) will be stocking the OP5 from launch on contract? Not due for an upgrade but would happily cover the £300 left on my device plan to pick up the OP5.
o2 won't confirm anything but hoping there could be an inside-man (or woman) with some knowledge.
Thanks

No doubt o2 will stock it again since no one else has picked up the 3T

I work for O2 as one of their instore technicians also have a Oneplus3, got it via oneplus.net before o2 announced the partnership and there is no news yet about anything related to Oneplus 5 probably due to the phone not being announced yet. Remember companies sign non disclosure agreements so it isn't exactly encouraged to talk about things not even announced to exist yet.

Cheers for the replies.
I spoke to LiveChat again today just to ask a question regarding pre-ordering the device once its announced (So I pay off the device plan and get the new OP5) and the reply I was given basically said when the device is announced on the site there will be instructions on how existing customers can pre-book the upcoming device.
From that it sounds like O2 are taking on the OP5 from launch!

Where is n950f btu uk update??

As per title, where is the new Note 8 Unlocked UK update? I'm still on August security patch when UK carrier specific networks started to get December update on the 10th December. It's now the end of 17th December... Have we been forgotten about do you think? lol... My S8+ was great running Oreo Beta 2 so this Note 8 seems a bit backward...
Reason I ask is because I am hoping this update fixes an issue I am having with notifications not coming through most of the time, I've checked and altered any battery optimisation and special access optimizations for certain apps but still no success so hoping the update triggers something to get this working like it should.

I have an unlocked still on august patch as well, my other one I got through Vodafone Ireland already got November patch and updates, wonder if they are leaving us waiting for Oreo on the international unlocked versions

This Is most definitely the case

This is annoying me big time, pretty piss poor by Samsung

I was just seeing if it was me that hadn't got the update. I'm still on August.
Meanwhile, the Note 5 is getting the December update...

Don't blame Samsung for that, but the UK operators -> THEY have to approve the FW first before it's rolling out to the devices!
The december update is available but still "on hold" for UK-devices (BTU & XEU)
BTU/XEU : 1AQI1 (August)
O2U : 1AQK9 (November)
EVR : 1AQK9 (November)
VOD : 1AQK9 (November)
H3G : 1AQK9 (November)
But: instead of complaining here, why not flash the latest FW yourself (2BQKG) with Odin?

BTU/XEU are the codes for the direct from Samsung models. They are operator free. So there is no approval from the operators needed. I personally think someone at Samsung just forgets to hit a publish button as they don't get an approval they don't need.
By any standard August is the only BTU available, and that's poor for a flagship with a company that promised monthly security updates.

Yeah still no update on the 23rd DEC, I did see EE UK only just got it on the 19th and that probably makes up the last in the UK to get it now... Flashing via Odin means fresh install dosnt it? I guess even if an OTA update dosnt resolve my notification issues, a fresh install probably would be the best bet anyway.
Wouldn't flashing my non-carrier device with a carrier specific 2BQKG firmware potentially riddle my device with carrier bloat? Better off waiting if thats the case! Anything new in 2BQKG over 1AQK9?

Just updated to 2BQKG via Odin without losing anything, wish I did this sooner!

I'm in UK on ee and the update came out today ota 46.87mb

Hi
I ve bought a Note 8 device unlocked as the seller said and when i got home i noticed that is blocked. When i check what provider is on i found BTU. So if can someone please help me what network provider i should contact?
Thanks a lot for your help and support

BTU is a generic code so it's not carrier assigned.
You need to contact the seller and get your money back as it will be impossible to find out why it was blocked in the first place.
P.S. If you're ever buying a second hand phone ask the seller for the IMEI before you part with any cash and check it online to see if it's blocked first. If the seller won't give you the IMEI then just walk away.

BTU
Hi
The seller blocked me and can t get in touch with him snymore. I think he has an insurance and report his phone lost. How can i find out which provider is on?

Or better still write down the IMEI number put your sim card in the phone and call your provider to have the device added to your account .
How many providers does your region have? Call all of them.

I called them up and none told me that they blocked the device. They said only the owner can unblock the phone. But as i said he blocked me on phone, whats app and Facebook. Is there any chance to find out who is the provider blocked the phone?
Thanks a lot for your help and support.

However the chances are you are using an unlocked UK/Ireland model which may have been bought from a retailer or Samsung direct and then insured via a third party insurer. The third party insurer would then request an IMEI block if the device was reported lost or stolen.
Sadly there is very little you can do as the device will likely be blocked from all networks in your country of residence, however there is a chance it could work outside of your country as other countries / carriers will have not blocked the IMEI.
Meaning you may be able to sell it on with the proviso / understanding the device is blocked in the UK or whatever country your currently residing.
How did you buy the device ? If you paid via PayPal or with a CC - you may be able to get a chargeback with your CC company if you report it as a fraudulent transaction (sold a dud device).

I bought it on Shpock from a private seller. Now i found that the T mobile blocked the IMEI because it was a illegally purchase and the seller knew it this. I paid by cash unfortunately. The device was blocked by t mobile since December 2017. And i bought it few days ago.

you obviously bought a stolen phone, lesson learnt for you, buy cheap... buy twice....HA... HAAA..
that said, you could probably recover a few quid from selling it on a Russian buy/sell website

So it was UK purchased. Looks like the networks share IMEI information. just sell it to the USA or mainland Europe, noting it's black listed in the UK. You should he able to get at least 60% of your money back. That is if it's really black listed and nothing else wrong with it .

Okay, folks - Motorola does not care about Moto One Zoom anymore

First of all. Three Moto devices already received Android 10. Few of them received December 1st security patch. Moto G7 Plus (2,5 times cheaper device) got Android 10 BETA today.
As an owner of Moto One Zoom who spent 450euros on "top" Moto smartphone, wanted to compare stuff from above to my phone:
- October 1st security patch (received it... three days ago, funny.)
- any signs of Android 10? no.
Plus look at my conversation with Moto Support. The same story was with UK support and polish one.
me: Rafał
Moto Agent: Karen
CONVERSATION:
Karen: Hi, my name is Karen. How may I help you?
Karen: Hello! Welcome to Motorola Canada technical Support!
Rafał: hey Karen
Rafał: first of all: i'm very dissapointed with Motorola
Rafał: I spent 450 euros on moto one zoom which lacks of security updates and OS update
Rafał: currently this is your most expensive model in EU
Karen: I would be glad to assist you today! Just in order to document this conversation, would you be so kind of helping me to confirm your full name, email address, phone number and the country from where you are contacting us?
Rafał: let me explain more...
Rafał: Rafał, [email protected]_HERE, Poland
Karen: I see, did you purchase your phone in Canada or Poland?
Rafał: Poland
Rafał: but it does not matter
Karen: Okay, I would like to inform you that you have contacted now the Canada support, Rafał.
Rafał: your two times cheaper devices are getting regular security updates and few of them already got Android 10 update
Rafał: even 2,5times cheaper moto g7 plus which is 1,5y older than moto one zoom got Android 10 in soak
Rafał: this is not fair
Rafał: where should I expect Android 10 update for my phone?
Rafał: and some newer security patch? (the last one i received this week, was for October 1st - was more than dissapointed)
Rafał: polish and uk support couldn't answer.
Rafał: that's why i'm here
Karen: I would like to explain to you that updates are sent to phones over the air as they become available, there is not a way for us to know the specific launch date. For the most accurate information, I would suggest you to contact your local support.
Rafał: before they "become available" they should be developed, dont you think?
Rafał: why they "become available" for cheaper devices first?
Rafał: and why crucial security updates are not released for your "top" model first?
Karen: Updates are sent out by batches, for Canada, in some cases they are launched by the carriers.
Karen: For the most accurate information, please check again with your local support.
Rafał: so you're telling me that next update for my RETEU moto one zoom is ready and it's waiting for its release?
Rafał: as i said - they dont know literally ANYTHING
Rafał: so how can i get ANY informations?
Karen: My apologies Rafał but we do not have information related to updates from other countries, I can talk only on how they work in Canada.
Rafał: this gonna be the same firmware
Rafał: RETAIL one
Rafał: so when canada should expect Android 10 or security updates?
Rafał: you know, I can prepare link for OTA, sideload it to my phone and install

Does anyone have android 10 on the One Zoom?

No, no one has it!
Hope that in March will get Android 10!

No problem here with security patches.

PPHS29.59-51-3 with also 1. January security patch arrived in Germany!

Nothing in Romania.

Got it today. Hope next one is android 10.

I Poland, got it yesterday.
What is weird, this is literally the least active device on XDA that I have seen.

Yeah u ar right, and no one bothers to correct the dimension of the display in the description of the phone.

It is a shame seeing a high-end device with such a lame support.
I am waiting for Android 10 update before starting to work on AOSP/LineageOS builds, but I think they will neglect this device.

PPHS29.59-49-8 with March security patch arrived in Brazil.

Got it in Poland today.

6/16 update: More broken promises from Motorola. Not a happy customer. My previous phone was a moto X4 Android One, so I know all about Motorola reneging on OS upgrade guarantees. Honestly, Motorola's misuse of the A1 branding at this point is dishonest verging on fraudulent.
I bought my Zoom exactly two weeks ago, it's a great phone and I love it but they're not going to do me dirty on OS upgrades twice in a row. I just filed a return and refund request. It's within the two-week return window so hopefully I'll get a full refund and take my dollars elsewhere. OnePlus 7t looks nice...

Here in Brazil I received the security patch PPHS29.59-49-16 of July 1st. unfortunately the upgrade to Android 10 has not yet come out and Motorola people say they don't know anything about the update.

Don't think android 10 is likely at this point. I'm probably going to attempt to sell this phone and get the new OnePlus Nord. At least that has guaranteed updates for 2 years. It's a shame, really, it's got good hardware and could've had much more potential, but not many people really know about this phone.

Have a little more patience.
I know the wait is frustrating but the test of Android 10 One Zoom is already in its final phase and will soon be released to everyone. :fingers-crossed:

Wow! That's good news! If it's really true.
