I have Samsung Ativ S and I have manage to install Here Drive Beta from the UK Store, but I cannot start the app because my country - Macedonia it isn't supported by Nokia/Here...
So why there are 48 supported languages (including Macedonian) and the app is functional only in 8 countries (5 languages) ... This does make no sense....
Does somebody know when this app will be available for the other countries???
I use Navigation 3D and GPS Voice Navigation which offer offline voice turn by turn navigation on WP8 in every country.
Check in the store.

Propably they will share it for other countries in near future. Hope we don't have to wait for ages.

Compared to what most thought, that it will be included with all other manufacturers at launch, we've waited nothing short of 5 months for it. Watching their monthly release trends since the 'public' launch in January, and the fact that the non-Nokia version of HERE Drive was last updated on April 2nd(yesterday) with no new region support added, I'd say give up your hope for at least another month.
I am, like everyone else not in their list of countries, disappointed.

There are 2 Versions of HERE Drive Beta:
HERE Drive Beta + for Nokia Highend devices only (worldwide license)
HERE Drive Beta for all other WP8 devices with local license determined via Provider coountry.
Later there shall be an Option to upgrade from Drive to Drive+ with some charges
Guess that answers your question: Drive is available in all those languages because they have the App available in those countries on Nokia hardware.

Has anybody tried to insert a US or UK sim to a non-Nokia phone and tried to download the Here Drive Beta?
I have tried my Ativ S with UK SIM. Everything is working fine in NON supported country!

Hi people,
I read lots of news and topic but there is no clear info yet.
Has lumia 800 tethering or not?
This is really important for me. I will decide to buy it or not buy accordingly.
Tethering
Yes, with the new Tango update, it has internet Tethering, you can go on and buy it, it's a great device, and you can believe, i tried many WP7 before, this one is THE WP7 that we were expecting.
To be technically correct, while tethering seems to be included in the Tango update, it is not yet available in most countries.
To my knowledge, Nokia has not released any official statement regarding this. So, there is no guarantee that tethering will be included in every version of the Tango update.
Nokia has stated in their official support forums as well as in multiple interviews that tethering is coming via a future update.

Hey all,
Really interested in getting one of these to replace my Mediapad X2. Can anyone tell me how it performs on U.S.A. GSM networks like T-Mo and ATT? Are you getting consistent 4G LTE? Will this handle the upcoming 5G bands? Can the phone portion be operated with and without the speaker enabled? Much obliged!!
Steve
right now got answer by US Huawei chat guy: "might be launched in a couple of months in the USA market".
M3 owner here. Even if it's an incremental update from the M3, it's going to be an awesome unit. That said I just wanted to offer a quick word of caution.
The M3's wifi is 5ghz capable but is disabled by default with a setting you can't change unless you root the device. The reasoning was some really iffy corporate double-talk about FCC conflicts. That said, after rooting this M3 is a dream. I don't know if the M5 will have this same issue in the US, but if the FCC line has not changed you might need to root. And if you need to, strap yourself in- because Huawei root support is sparse at best.
Rooting the M3 was not difficult per se, but a good number of people (including myself) hit snags because there's conflicting data/results as to the best way to get there. Once you get to the proper image and learn how Huawei's partitions work, it's not too bad. Just be ready for a learning curve. It's a far cry from rooting OnePlus...
So if it turns out that the 5ghz comes locked in the US, either be ready to run 2.4 for a while or wait until someone develops root. Good luck!
Thanks for the info, seven. I'm concerned about the wifi issue you discuss, but I'd be more excited to get an LTE phone in the US. Don't know how much longer AT&T will provide the connectivity I need to keep my X2 working.
The thing with the M5 is how long it's taking to get these out there. The phone was released well over a month ago and I can not find a single seller either on Amazon or E Bay. I'm starting to feel as if it was all a joke.
It should work with US LTE. Towards the bottom of this page shows what bands the M5 has and what bands each network uses.
https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-huawei-mediapad-m5-10-lte
This is for the 10 inch, but it should be the same as the 8.
Thanks. Any idea where I can actually buy on of these?

Thanks dude,
Just concerned that the version sold in Germany may have different bands that won't do LTE in the U.S.
Depending on the return policy, I may pick one up to check it out myself.
Thanks again.
GREAT!!! Went to the website Amazon. de. Adds say this item can not be shipped to the United States. I get the feeling we are going to be screwed yet again.
Ordered from Amazon Italy. It shipped from Germany, got it in 3 days. I briefly tested tmobile and got internet and calling. I will do more testing. Great first impressions..

Yes bought mine from Amazon.de, took 3 days for delivery to the UK.
Quite often items are cheaper coming from Amazon Germany than the Amazon UK, plus the MediaPad is supplied and delivered by Amazon, not through a third party.
Result?
I want the 64GB WiFi version for use in the USA. I wonder why only the 32 GB version is being currently sold.

To be honest the 32GB isn't really a problem.
I've loaded all my apps and still have well over 15GB left.
All my photo and video live on the micro SD card.
Did some further investigating. The one currently available in Europe does but have the bands for LTE in the US. Maybe we can hope for an international version, but I doubt very much that this will ever see the light of day in the US. May be a legal issue or something. Otherwise, why wouldn't all manufactures just open up the US bands just for the heck of it. After all, the US is one of the top three consumer markets in the world.
Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei's consumer business group, isn't giving up on the US yet... They really want to sell the P20 here. Hoping they bring the Mediapad M5, too.
https://www.engadget.com/2018/03/30/huawei-isnt-giving-up-on-the-us-just-yet/
This is a link to the Huawei promo info for the M5 on the US Huawei website. The only thing it doesn't have is a 'buy now' button. I'd say for sure, at this time! They are going to be available in the US soon. Really hoping to get one. asap.
https://consumer.huawei.com/us/tablets/mediapad-m5-8/
Nice that it's on the site. Wasn't there when I checked last week. Just hope the 8" gets a US release.
I saw a seller that ships to the US; but they only stock a wifi version of the tab. Hopefully, they will release an LTE version over here. Signs are looking good being that it's on the Huawei US site; but I never count my chickens until they are hatched. BTW, has anyone got answer about whether the tab has an ear speaker for calls or do you have to use a blue tooth?
For calls it is the loud speakers, or Bluetooth. No to the ear speaker.
I guess you could also go wired through the USB C adapter that is supplied not tried that yet.
It does work very well through the speakers if you don't mind being on 'loud speaker' to the world!
Because of a good price (at least better than in my country) i'm considering to buy this phone from amazon.de but in description it is labeled "german version" which brings up to me a concern about languages available on it out of the box. Does it have just german? Or multiple languages? This may seem to be odd question but i'm not much into phones and i'm not sure if there can be limited list of available languages or should be all languages available. I will be thankful for answer.
My husband bought the Honor 10 from Germany (Amazon) and on first start up it brings up a long list of languages to choose from. It's just the standard Android 8.1 with Emui 8.1 on top. I'm sure you can choose any common language.
Wonderful, thanks for answer, a lot!
I asked the same question directly to amazon.de and they replied to me product is described as german version so mildly put, i wasn't satisfied with their answer. Sometimes it is better to ask someone who actually owns a product rather than asking a question to selling company.
I do think there is an European Version of the Software (C432) but still you can select any available language. If you buy an Asian variant with a different CUST number (firmware), you will still able to change the language to English, German etc... only the pre-installed software may vary from region to region (Chinese version does not come pre bundled with Google apps for example).
To be specific i'm interested if there is polish language (may be listed as "Polski") available, in the worst case english will be fine enough.
Pretty sure that is no problem.
I also have the German model and I can confirm that this is just a European version. All usual European languages are available, including Polish (I checked that explicitly).

On Monday, it's Prime Day in Germany. No idea if the Phone will be cheaper but maybe you are lucky.

I'm a bit confused. I just received mine yesterday (after 2 weeks eBay shipping debacle) and I went to look for my pie update, but there isn't one available. So I came here and read through a few posts and it seems that some people have upgraded and others haven't. I the SHT-W09 version. I've read where some have recommended using hisuite, but when I tried to, it said I needed "Huawei Mobile Services", which won't install via the link that it provides. Can someone point me in the right redirection? I'm just trying to get this think upgraded to Android Pie.
If you have a US version, you do not have 9.

yeah the manufacturer isn't too keen on releasing pie for US base devices and has nothing to do with the China trade war they've never issued us devices full OS updates from what I am told.

You are very wrong. I've owned various Huawei devices for years. Before the Mate 10 Pro debacle when Trump bullied AT&T and Best Buy into not carrying the M10P Huawei provided full OS updates to it's US customers the same as outside the US for its products.
But after the M10P Huawei abandoned the US market. The US model M10P received no feature or OS updates from Huawei while the international models were updated.
Prior to the M10P we got the same updates as everybody else so you can definitely thank Trump for the fact that the US model isn't receiving OS updates.
Just updated ot 9.1.0.328(C432E3R1P2) - September updates for the 8.4" UK version.
If you have the north american version. you do not get android 9.
If you have any other version you have or will get android 9.
Anyway to hack a Android 9 onto NA versions?
I have CMR-AL19 from ebay.... (Media Pad M5 Pro) - Still Android 8.0.0 - > 4 times called support, 3 times they told me it isn't available for my model and fourth time they told me they manually push an update and if it still isn't available to update I have to bring it to a store.... no store in my near....I'm a bit annoyed.
G'day my fellow XDA'ers (is there such a term).
It's been many years since I have posted.
I have been keenly eyeing the Experia 1 III. With the delay in their launch, yes I know it's available now, Google is now on the precipice of launching the Pixel 6 Pro, which I am also considering.
The key functions I am looking for is the camera and video. I don't shoot alot of video, but when I do, it's for auditions.
The Sony would seem the logical choice here. I also want to use it for everyday snaps and I hear the night-shot does not exist. The Pixel will have this of course.
My questions are:
1. What effort is required to connect the Experia 1 III to Australian carriers Optus or Telstra?
2. I have been reading that I have to load a mod or something like that?
3. What is required of that? And then if so,
4. What do you need to do to get upgrades?
This could be a deal breaker for me.
It's sold by Kogan in Aus, so if you buy it there and it doesn't work with your carriers then its defective and you just return it...
@roughdiamon
Any one else have any suggestions or know what it will take to get the 1 iii to work on Aussie telcos ?
Mainly looking for VoLTE to work.
Apparently it works with VoLTE and WiFi calling on Kogan according to this person: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=97&topicid=289469&page_no=1#2775602
There's just not enough information though. I'd like to know more for New Zealand because I'm considering one myself but it sounds like a pain in the ass to get it working optimally because they're not officially sold here. I'm getting really sick of all these phone manufacturers not selling their phones in more than a select few countries... I don't want more of Samsung's curved screen, Knox-ridden BS...
I just ordered the 1 iii from Kogan, it comes with a free 1month sim, i'll test and see how it pans out.
How did you go with the Kogan Sim?
I have the iii on Optus but no luck with Volte but happy to switch carrier's if it enables Volte.

Due to Kogan's 3rd party suppliers incompetence my phone has been delayed up to now, I gustimate it will arrive end of this week if I'm lucky if not next week.
Will update once it arrives.
