Guys I'm a bit miffed about the two galaxy tab 10.1 units I have in my hands.
Both units were purchased from www*hi-mobile*net with the first unit coming in a box with www*samsung*com on the side of the box with a US power, with the 2nd unit having www*samsung*com/hk with a Hong Kong power adaptor.
Nothing strange about that, however the HK unit seems snapper and the microphone works from the keyboard, so when I have the keyboard up and press the mic symbol, I get the mic saying "speak now", but on the USA version it never works.
Other differences between the two, HK version of touchwiz has a mic symbol beside the google search in the top left of the screen, USA version doesn't.
All in all, the HK version is a better overall user experience.
Now to get into the nitty gritty with the software differences;
Honk Kong Unit;
Model Number – GT-P7500
Android Version 3.1
Baseband Version – P7500XXKH5
Kernel Version – 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
Build Number – HJM37.ZSKH2 P7500ZSKH2
USA Unit
Model Number – GT-P7500
Android Version – 3.1
Baseband Version – P7500UBKG6
Kernel Version – 2.6.36.3 [email protected] #1
Build Number – HMJ37.UBKG6 P7500UBKG6
So anybody have ideas on how I can get my microphone function to work on the USA model and why it wouldn't be quite as snappy?
I've Used Quadrant on both and ran them simultaneously, with interesting comparisons.
Starting both models at identical times, over the couse of the test, the HK model finishes nearly 2 secs before the USA model, with similar FPS rates during rendering, however with the DNA test rendering the HK model seems to be about 10 FPS quicker. Overall results?
USA version 2226
HK version 2090
So how can a device that finished first with higher frames per sec score lower?
Very strange things happening here.
Can anybody shed any light on this?
Cheers,
Homer
Have you checked under 'settings-language and input-configure input methods' and then under the android keyboard section-active input methods make sure 'English voice' is checked?
Also, have you checked to see if there are any software updates, in the 'settings-about tablet' section.
My Galaxy Tab 10.1 shows hmj37.uekme p7510uekme
Yes I have checked and "English Voice" is checked. No updates found in software updates.
Thanks for help, keep it coming

You do not want to do business with this company. Price constantly changes. Go to their Facebook website and it will say $219. If you go to website, it says $269. If you go to an official store, it will be even more and their discount coupon won't be honored. The specs change, that 20 mp camera is now 13 mp, the release dates change. The US version was initially supposed to come out end of Jan.; now it won't be available till mid-April. I personally do not know what to expect from these folks. They don't answer emails or Skype calls and that is the only way you can get ahold of them. Do not waste your money or time with these people.
I got the 219$ from Gearbest after a while. (It's the elecode black version withnout power adaptoir)
Not sure about the shipping date. Mid April should be for all color variants and Lite version. The black P9000 should ship sooner for the people with elecode.
Gearbest says shipping on 20th Feb. let's see what happens.
If you're planning to buy any of the new phones Elephone is putting out (or most of the bigger small Chinese OEMs for that matter), prepare to wait at least 1 to 3 months for your phone.
Hi all,
I have 2 Yotaphones 2 (one for private use, one company). Great devises, especially the business use. Now my son's birthday is coming up and he wants a Yotaphone, too (no iPhone! . Does anyone know what happened to the yotaphone 3? It was announced to be released in Q1 this year in cooperation with ZTE to increase availability and reduce price. Since then (Q3 2015), nothing has happened.
Does anyone know more?
Cheers
Andreas

Based on a few Russian articles I found, it would seem that their new Chinese overlords were not willing to take the risk launching Yotaphone 3 during the original Summer of 2016 launch window. And now that the window has closed, so they have to renew the device specs to match the market. The new estimate would be Summer of 2017 earliest.
Source: http://izvestia.ru/news/632694 (you can get the main idea with Google Translate)
It was confirmed by yota that it's in development. Probably it will be available this year (2017)
The Instagram account of Yota Devices unexpectedly displayed a new post in early march mentioning the 3rd generation of their device :
https://www.slashgear.com/the-yotaphone-3-is-still-coming-or-so-it-seems-06477241/
That's all we get since the time they abruptly went in silent service.
A five inch colour e-ink screen would truly be aweinspiring
With latest news it seems that Chinese stakeholders don't want to put their money for the launching of YotaPhone 3 as of now (which russians have already developed-designed). Hence, postponing its launch obliges YotaDevices to re-do from scratch the designed YotaPhone 3, because hardware components become old rapidly.
Yesterday I saw a YD206 for 95€ on AliExpress and I think it's worth it, expecially with the MM update coming out.
Do you guys know what the teaser on the website is about? Could it really be the Yotaphone 3? I honestly didn't expect that any more.

There have been a number of rumors around other dual screen phones, none of which I've seen on the market yet. At some point even the Xiami Mi4 was supposed to come with dual screen...
at youtube - hisense a2 at ces 2017
seeing their EPD, got ghosting and black is still "gray". maybe later they will improve it.
for me compare to yotaphone 2 more better but until MM update.. more ghosting..
but for yotaphone 3 teaser image, shape nearly same with hisense a2..
Ok, so the design of yota3 is kind of iphonenish...

Just got the Yotaphone 3 as a gift. Has dual SIM slots (2nd SIM doubles as a TF card).
I can install Google package from it's appstore BUT can't get contact to sync with Google; Google contact apps doesn't work properly.
The 2nd screen only works with Kindle China version only (can log in with US account).
Overall an intriguing phone but not practical for me unless there's a non-China version.
I just received the hisense a2 from China here in United States. And. It seems to work quite well on att with the option to mirror full android on eink. If you cannot mirror the main screen on the eink screen in yp3 this is a mistake in the software design. Yp2 offered full android on the eink side In their latest russian firmware.
I have just bought the Yotaphone 3, however I can't mirror the main screen onto the eink screen of my Yota 3. I have the Yotaphone 2, so would there by a way to port the Yotahub/Yotacover/Yotapanel apps from the 2 to the 3? Also, all the instructions are in Chinese which is slightly annoying. Do you think the mirroring function would be added later by an update? Thanks
Possible YP3 Changes.
Depends on if the same developers (as YP2) are responsible for the updates in YP3 (HK).
In YP2, they prioritized RU versions (not the HK version). But some of the firmware changes/useful addons over time were significant with EU/HK and especially RU.
With the new CN/RU partnership, who knows. I am waiting until someone (preferably in English) demonstrates a good software update with YP3 (and a decrease in price) before pulling the trigger.
Hey guys!
I used to be pretty involved with XDA as I own Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9 and Pixel XL. I work for an electronics distributor and we have sold Sony tablets for years. This tablet came from e-bay or Amazon before we could order through the Sony channel. It came with a Bluetooth keyboard with Korean? symbols on it.
That's the background:
So the tablet is currently running 5.02 and checking for software updates gives me nothing.
Build number: 28.0.A.8.251
Kernel has a date of Aug. 19, 2015
My question is whether this is a special build and why I can't seem to update it. Not that familiar with Sony's software for updates but when checking this build it seemed to show as a demo version and didn't have anything for a more recent update file.
Can anyone give me any background? I'm not necessarily looking to root it, I just want to update it to the current software (Android M?).
Thanks for any help or tips!
Maybe the bootloader is unlocked. Check the service menu.
With unlocked bootloader there are no OTA updates any more.
You can flash any suitable ROM with Flashtool. This software comes with XperiFirm to download the ROMs.
If it is really a demo unit (they run different ROM-versions though) I would return the tablet.

I've run into the same problem. Moreover, I have found that when I type in my tablet's IMEI at http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/software/ the page responds with 'No information available'
Seems to be a problem at Sony.
Please, contact the Sony Mobile support so that they can fix it. The more requests they receive, the faster they will fix it

LG surprises with Android 12 update containing June 2022 security patch for LG Wing
LG has begun upgrading the Wing to Android 12, seven months on from the device's last OS update. Android 12 brings several changes to the device and contains the latest set of Android security patches. Rolling out in South Korea first, Android 12 is over a 1.5 GB download and is the LG Wing's...
www.notebookcheck.net
So apparently some Wings are already on Android 12!
I just bought an unlocked carrier free LG Wing (LM-F100EMW) in Germany and it says it is up to date with Android 10 with a 1 July 2021 Security Patch Level?
Why is there such a discrepancy in release dates?
Strange. I wouldn't sweat it. 10 is better version anyway. Another from 9 or higher is secure enough unless you do something stupid.
Well, I did some digging and found this thread:
LGUp 1.16.3 Patched Found and Works with LG Wing
Honestly found it on XDA of all places after looking for it all night What does 1.16 give us that 1.14 doesn't? Everything honestly. Could not get my Wing recognized to flash with 1.14. No 1.15 Patched exists either We can downgrade with...

And the firmware here:

And I managed to flash Android 11.
Can you flash back to 10? I am in the US and no update to 12 yet
Just received Android 12. So far seems to be working well. Have some nice added features, mainly seems to be more polished than 11. Another cool feature is that it shows you with a Green Dot indicator by the battery when you're camera and/or microphone is on.

Seems pretty snappy. Window, transitions, notification pull Downs, notification previews are all prettier. I would say I'm pleased with Android 12. Battery life seems to be as good or better also!
So I ordered a F100N to use in Scandinavia. And I heard they've come further than the US versions. Just wanted to know if it could be upgraded to Android 12? Or even 13?
LG Wing Android 12 updates has bugs. I am not able to open Wi-Fi settings and other sensors stopped working. After a hard reset it worked for 3 weeks but again same problem. Even after installing new patch with 5G support my Wing in unable to connect to Wi-Fi.
As you might all know , Not all Snapdragon 8 Gen2 come with same Bluetooth/ Wi-Fi hardware modem
Some are fast connect 6900 " Wi-Fi 6e" some with fast connect 7800 " Wi-Fi 7" and others use other modems with only Wi-Fi 6 like Vevo & IQ phones
can we know which Modem that S23 Ultra uses , may be by looking into drivers or system dumb of its software ?
Well searching online, according to Qualcomm themselves, the gen 2 for galaxy will have both. According to other sources the S22 Ultra is the one that has Fast Connect 7800, but at the same time I cant find a source that says the S23 Ultra supports Wifi 7. I tried checking on my phone with multiple apps, and secret Samsung codes however I cant find the Bluetooth or Wifi modem.

Yup that is the point , why they put Fast connect 7800 in it and increase cost if they didn't enable WiFi 7 , they could have used only the 6900 model like they did with the S23+ & normal S23, that is why I think that all 3 models have Fast connect 6900 and the mentioning of 7800 was a typo in the article

But that's a very good question of yours, there should definitely be an app or adb command or something like that to see which modem your phone has am curious now

After some search I found that Wi Fi 7 certifications , specs & Standard won't be ready until mid 2024 , meaning that current wifi 7 ready devices might not benefit from full set of features after Wi Fi 7 launch

I remember the same thing happened before may be 12 years ago on a device called HTC HD2 it was WiFi N ready , and it was enabled via software update later when Wifi N certifications completed , also for google nexus 4 it was 4g ready and enabled a year after via software update

Confirmed from S23 ultra teardown
It has Qualcomm Fastconnect 7800
But not sure if it is the international version or US version only
Galaxy S23 Ultra Chip ID
Chip ID for the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra...
www.ifixit.com
I can only speak to the WiFi 6/6e part of this and I can tell you that my S23U connects to 6/6e as well as my wife's S22U. Matter of fact, my Z Fold 3 worked fine on 6/6e both.
I can confirm us version contains fastconnect 7800 under wcn7851. Basic support for wifi 7 is there, but the full capabilities likely won't be realized in android 13. Current patches for android 14 show progress for wifi-7 and relevant drivers.
Samsung does have a history of disabling features if they're unstable or caused by hardware defects.
On Qualcomm's devices finder page, it is mentioned that S23U uses 7800, S23 and S23+ use 6900
According to Xiaomi's official information, it is mentioned that after WIFI7 is not open, OTA updates will be open, and I think the same will be the case for Samsung.

Qualcomm website isn't accurate , last year they said the same about the S22 series , but it was discovered that the Wi-Fi ship in S22 ultra was Broadcom not Qualcomm and the only device that have Qualcomm was the normal S22 ,
I know that this year is different & in their website they are mentioning the US version of the S23U not the world wide Version and there is not a single source mentioning that the global version is Using Qualcomm latest tech till now, and from years of experience with Samsung products not all versions have same motherboard components , even Screens and Memory chips sometimes are different between versions
Sure it doesn't matter at this stage , it's full potential is anyway not fully unlocked but it is good to know that your device maybe be better future proofed
