Is there any chance of getting phone feature in streak 7?

Can anyone explain me the reason, why Dell dont want Update the 3G Model of the Streak7
Because there is no 3G version. The 4G version is under the control of T-Mobile as to whether or not they want to upgrade it.

There is a 3G Version . Here i have the 3G Version-Sells by Dell in germany.
Without any brandings or simlock.
3G Unlocked version is for Europe http://www.dell.com/uk/p/mobile-streak-7/pd?oc=n00lg702&model_id=mobile-streak-7&
the retail/unlocked s7 3/4g's likely have a new rom.
If anyone has purchased a 3/4g in europe that isnt an imported tmo one could they post info on their rom/dump it with nvflash?
This might be a dumb question but when the wifi only version is released is it possible to flash that rom to a 4g model? I really could care less if I had any service other than wifi. I have never used a sim and never will-I bought it new for $100 and only wan wifi.
It should work but there's a pretty good chance that it will break all cell service (but as you mentioned that's not important).
Dell stopped selling the wifi only model in europe and only sells the 3/4g model there now.
If they release HC for wifi they'll hopefully release it for the unlocked 3/4g one sold there.
Did you buy it on contract or not? i'd like a $100 s7

I think they are still selling it on dell's UK site

Ah the uk one is selling both now, regardless previously it was only the wifi model available

Hi Guys,
I have an LG urbane LTE model on the way (planning on opening it up and replacing the sim) only problem is that I can't seem to download the LG watch manager apk (com.lg.wman.apk) from Google play as it's not in my region. I've tried a number of methods including the chrome plugin etc. Does anyone have the apk or let me know how to get it?
I plan on posting a complete review here. Should have it on Monday.
Thanks!
I have sent you a pm. This file works for me on my onelus one.

I am really keen on buying this but I live in the UK and it hasn't been released here as yet and LG are giving no indication if it ever will. Can I ask how you're getting it? Where you're buying it from as I 'd be most interested. I'd want to do the same and replace the sim but I can't find out any info to tell if this is possible. Many thanks
Before anyone else tries this, it's only for the Urbane LTE. From their Play Store comments, "Please connect Urbane LTE with the LG Watch Manager, Urbane with Android Wear."
Remove SIM possible?
Can anyone confirm that it is possible to remove the SIM from LG Urbane LTE? THank you!
According to Samsung, the topaz blue S6 version is "now available" (as of May 17, 2015). Has anyone seen this one in the US yet? What does "now" mean for Samsung? Best Buy? AT&T stores?

If history repeats itself, Best Buy will carry AT&T, VERIZON, and SPRINT versions in Blue. It will only be available from Best Buy probably in 32GB only so don't hold your breath.

The new colors are not currently available in the US. Of course with every variant/color of any device, availability varies by country/region. Samsung is simply announcing that the colors can now officially go on sale, somewhere in the world, when a carrier or vendor decides to sell it. Samsung has not stated where it is currently available, which probably means that no one has picked it up yet to sell.
No one in the US has announced anything.
Got my Gear VR yesterday from T-mobile, went to set it up on my Note 5 N9200, when the setup wizard opens, I hit next, the wizard tries to connect to the servers then returns the following error:
Error Occurred.
Network Error.
I spent all day on the line with Samsung support, they kept dropping my call, and finally told me to go to a Samsung experience center at Best Buy. Does anyone know how to correct this?
I have the same problem. Only thought is that my Note 5 is from Hong Kong so may be on a different firmware than US phones - hence the network error issue. Please let us know if you find a solution!

Mine is also from HK, assuming you also have an N9200? I really hope Samsung did not region-lock an accessory, that would be really horrible for early adopters...

Yeah, the N9200. I opened up a support ticket to Oculus on this matter too. I don't think it's necessarily region locking, I think it's just they haven't pushed out the firmware for the HK phones to enable us to download oculus home.
Trying to figure out if there is any way to sideload the oculus home application but there's not much info out there since the new gear VR just came out a few days ago. Ugh, I was so excited to use it and then this...
Update
So, I thought I would give everyone a quick update, as I noticed there are people on a number of forums experiencing this issue. I spoke with Oculus, Samsung Hong Kong, and Samsung US (listed in order of helpfulness).
I learned that in spite of having Gear VR services, set up wizard, and other related software preloaded, the SM-N9200 still needs an update to set up Gear VR. Samsung Hong Kong claimed they did not know of any plans to release Gear VR in Hong Kong, which means anybody who bought an SM-N9200 likely just wasted 99.99 USD. Samsung's US support team knew nothing and was incredibly unhelpful, I'll leave it at that.
I'm very disappointed Samsung is maintaining a 1990's US carrier mindset, assuming we do not live in a connected world, and people would not purchase phones from other regions where they frequently travel. The HK version of the SM-N9200 is the only way for one to own a Note 5 and still have access to TD-LTE networks when they travel to China, as well as Google Services when outside of China, all without rooting.
I really hope Samsung stops punishing US-based SM-N9200 users for their loyalty, and pushes the update out to us ASAP.

Well, that's a huge bummer. Time to return this $99 paperweight.
Wow, what a disappointment. Forgive my ignorance but there is no way to extract what we need from someone that has a U.S. note 5 and side load it?
I have the SM-N9200 , and I've managed to get the Oculus store installed but trying to launch anything brings me right back to the set up wizard.

I've been looking to see if it's possible to install a custom rom that supports gear vr, but no custom roms for the 9200. At this point, I'm almost leaning towards selling my 9200 and buying an unlocked 920L or 920C...

That's fine if you don't need TD-LTE, still not optimal though. I reckon sometime after thanksgiving the files will make there way to the internet and we can stick it to Samsung.

Actually, 9200 is the same model they sell in mainland china so I can't imagine them leaving that entire massive market. Let's hope a solution comes up soon.
I have a n920w8 and there's not even Gear VR in my list of apps in "application manager". Need some help.

What you can try doing is download the oculus mobile SDK from here:
https://developer.oculus.com/downloads/
Then copy the oculus cinema apk over to your phone and install it. When you run that app, it should trigger the oculus installation wizard. That's where I get stuck though, it just goes into a "Network Error" loop for me when I try to progress but maybe you'll have more luck with your model.
Noted, I'll give this a try. If that network error loop is the same one you were getting before, then I wonder if Samsung's servers are actually detecting and blocking devices based on model number? Samsung is really worse than Apple about this stuff...

Most likely they are trying to download some low-level software based on the model number and there is nothing listed for our model - hence the "network error" message. Hopefully someone can share the required apk that we need for the fundamental software.
Anyone had any luck getting this working?

Nope, sadly I've been too busy to tinker around with this. Pretty much just waiting for an update or hoping somebody magically posts the correct software online...
Does anyone try to root their phone and change the build.prop file? e.g. Change the model number to G928F(Europe model )
I saw someone did these on their Note 4 and S6 which made the setup wizard run.
I haven't try it because there is no matured third party's ROMs so far.

I'm worried that this would have some seriously bad implications because the 9200 has a different modem chipset than the european/us models. That would probably work if the hardware was very similar and just had minor regional differences.

Sorry, I didn't make that clear. You don't/can't flash in a firmware from another model in another region. What you do in the build.prop file is to simply change a name. Only thing you need is to get root on your current ROM.
