in recent times , you are talking anywhere on the network , the imminent possibility of making calls on Huawei watch! So I wanted to know if there was any news regarding this feature on zenwatch 2. also wanted to know if somehow had been given confirmation that this feature will be enabled also by zenwatch ! My question part from the fact that in many countries the device still is not yet available for sale such as Italy
Not yet, and nothing from the manufacturer

Hey everyone, sorry if this has cropped up previously but I've searched to no avail and no one from Microsoft has an answer either.
I've got a new HTC Titan sitting here, completely unused. I won it at the Windows Phone Inner Circle event in Denver weeks before the device's US launch, but I still haven't switched over. This is because the device is a UK phone. The phone does not appear to have any US settings at all, is unlocked, and even comes with a UK plug instead of a US one. Presumably, this is because I won the device before the US version was ready for release.
The issue is that even when I switch my region settings over to "English (US)", nothing actually changes on the phone when it restarts...everything is still English (UK). For example, "synchronising", "favourites", "colour", etc. At first I thought that this wasn't a big deal, but it might be if other region settings persist. So I have three related questions that I'd love to find out:
If/when a custom bootloader is released for the Titan, can I use it to flash a US ROM to my device?
I have to switch carriers to AT&T in order to fully use the Titan (hence my hesitation), but will bringing the phone to AT&T and letting them activate it have a chance of loading US settings onto the phone? I know that will load AT&T app marketplace options, which is why I was curious.
Most importantly, even if none of this can possibly change, will I at all be restricted by UK region restrictions for Zune, Marketplace, etc.? I have a US-based Zune and WLID account, but this is my main concern because of the phone's region.
If anyone can share some insights on this, I'd really appreciate it.

1. US ROM must be considered. Because the AT&T version Does use the different Chips for different Radio version. It might get the phone bricked. The Goldcard tecnique is not available on Titan, so Official AT&T Rom to flash on the phone is nearly impossible. It need to be done by 3rd party.
2. No. Your Live ID will determine which content you can access. Don't ask why people at Asia can still submit and buys apps that are for US only.
3. The region of the phone could be changed, but not the agent inside. So, don't be surprise that you have the English voice comeout from Tellme and Turn-by-Turn navigation from Bing maps doesn't work at US. You can change, the Region Format, System Locale and Browser &Search Language to English (United States) but it can't change the fact, that this phone is built for Europe user. I will ask HTC if they can bring the custom language pack (if possible) to Windows Phone. I am still talking to HTC Tech Support about this.
I contacted HTC Support several times and they didn't give me any solution (apart from doing a deadly mistake of telling me to search the Android Market for an application :S)!!
I'm still hoping we find a different ROM to flash. Is there an Australian version maybe floating around? I'm dying to use voice navigation and Tellme (which doesn't understand anything when set to English UK).
Thanks for the replies...starting to think maybe I should just sell the thing and use the money to buy a US Titan - especially due to the points about navigation and TellMe. Of course, I'd probably want to sell it to someone in the UK so no one else has region problems. Maybe I'll start looking into that.
In the meantime, if any encouraging news pops up about this, let me know

How much do you want?
So I've been out of the loop for about a year now and looking to grab the Honor 5X US version on at&t or T-Mobile. My last phone I kept for 2 years almost ZTE Boost Max(Iconic)
and basically all I did was play with it. Meaning root, PhilZ, Link2sd, Viper4android, and most importantly Xposed.
My questions. Is it a easy plug n play going to a new carrier at&t or T-Mobile in the US with this phone. No issues at all right.
Is all development pretty good. Plenty of options. With the ZTE phone is 1 option for everything and nothing else. I did end up with a custom rom/kernel and a overclocked cpu. Do we have those options.
Thanks in advance I've limited the phone choices to just a couple. $250 budget and want development options and ease of carrier use
AT&T won't be a problem. T-Mob is missing support for LTE Band 12. I've read in these boards that support is coming soon (maybe in the MM update?). I'm not sure about WiFi calling. Normally you need carrier firmware for that type of functionality though.
Dev support seems healthy enough. I'd recommend looking in the development section and judging for yourself
It should be noted that while band 12 support is missing, you can still use the phone on T-Mobile, and you can still get 4G LTE (if it's available in your area).
I don't have WiFi calling here, and you probably do need carrier firmware for that.
Wifi calling wasn't really something I need. I've never experienced good wifi calling reception in the past. I just remember a year or so ago when the new wave of unlocked phones hit like One Plus, and so on there were always issues with not having LTE or something. Good to know at&t is fully supported. I'm a buy and hook up myself online person. Can't stand dealing with customer service on the phone.
So ultimately hows the phone in terms of everything. Signal? Options? Dependability?
So we still don't have MM available on the phones? This is concerning as I wanted the newest OS. The one thing I never liked about android vs Apple. When an update hit, everyone within a 2 year old phone got that update that day. MM came out around XMas so I was hoping for it.
Thanks for the replies and I'm late replying as I'm just a very patient shopper. Any new phone I buy I keep 1-2 years depending
If y'all want latest updates to android. Then there's no doubt about it as we all know this on XDA.........buy a nexus devices

Has anyone noticed if the LG V30 can detect spam calls like a stock Android experience such as a Nexus 6P?
This is a big deal for many users as over the past 6 months spam calls have become a major issue for everyone and my stock android does a good job of alerting me when those spam calls come rolling in. So much so that I don't think I can live without this feature in a new phone. I know LG uses their custom interface which I assume uses a custom dialer, so my fear is that it will not alert me to those irritating spam numbers like my existing Nexus 6P does today.
Well, I'm fairly disappointed in how it handles "Private and Unknown Callers"...I set it to block them and it never does. They always continue to ring through. When I set that up on my GS8 it worked perfect. Not so much on the V30.
My V20 did. No idea about the V30 yet. I only get about 2 phone calls per month. (Everyone I know knows to just text me.)
I'm with AT&T w/my v30 and they have the "Call Protect" app preloaded, which does the same thing as the stock android dialer for identifying telemarketers, etc.
Just wondering how do you turn this on? Weird thing is brought my S6 over to T-mobile. This started to work on my phone. It is not working on my Wife's S6. If I get the V30 I want to make sure this is on.
Repost- I put this on the Gen 1 forum not knowing there was a Gen 2 forum. Sorry if this is a repeat.
Has anyone else had problems with their 2nd Gen Moto 360? I bought my watch in March of 2016 and tomorrow (November 28, 2017) I will be receiving my 8th replacement (9th piece of HW). I have had the screen go black and never come back on, I have had the battery fail and the watch dies after half a day, I have had the screen fail and show distorted images and my final failure was the metal watch band would not lock after I had it for 7 days (my fastest return to date). I am not rough on my watches, in fact most of them don't have a single scratch on them when I send them back. My concern is that I am past the 1 year since purchase, and I get a 90 day warranty with each new piece of HW. I am worried that this next watch will fail on day 91 and I'll be stuck with dead HW. I also don't want to have to call Moto support and waste 30+ minutes explaining the problem. I have tried to get Motorola to take the watch back but they won't. For the last several months every time I have called tech support (when the watch has broken) I have asked if I can return the watch to them and they send me a different watch each time. I love the watch but hate the reliability. Does anyone know who I can contact at Motorola to get a this resolved?
I am open to suggestions.
My 42mm watch stopped responding 2 months ago, roughly when it went out of warranty. So, in my case the quality of this device is really ****ty. Especially that it seems to be a battery issue, but there is no way to easily replace the battery.

I had that happen once. I called the Moto (US) support line and was rejected. I then went online to every Moto support center in the world and explained what had happened. In my case I think the screen went black (again). By pinging every place out there I finally found one center that was willing to replace my watch. I think part of this was that I had had the watch fail so many times already, I was on hardware number 5 at that time. Ever since then I have not had a watch last through the warranty of 90 days. I am now on Hardware number 9. I know this thing will break again, will it break on day 91, I don't know. I now keep a reminder in my calendar to warn me when I get close to 90 days. I've never come close to the 90 days since then.
My advise is to contact every place out there. Make some noise. There has to be someone at Moto that doesn't want their name attached to negative reviews who will listen. That is what I intend to do in the hopes that Moto will take my watch back.
Good luck.

Thanks for your advice but expect UK (original country of order) and Greece (my country), how can I contact other countries?
They will redirect me to UK directly.
And UK made it clear since my first contact to them that they cannot help, since I live in another country.

I Googled Motorola service centers then sent an email to all of the places I found. One of them was able to go into their system and override the out of warranty notice and supply a new watch for me.

Do u mean from different countries or from the same country?
Unleashed by my rooted OP3T in 8.0
Got in contact with the UK support and they asked me to send back the watch to them for check.
The thing is that for some reason, I can't send it right away to them.
Is required to send it to someone in UK and this person to send it to them. Bit of hassle, if you ask me.
Unleashed by my rooted OP3T in 8.0
Well at least they are doing something. I bet if you explain the situation they will find a way to help. If I was in the UK I would offer to help.
My watch just broke again. The screen went black and is not recoverable. I'm going to send it back again. I've had this latest one for about a month. This will be my 10th watch.
Finally a happy end to my story!
After all these months of waiting, Motorola/Lenovo UK decided and repaired my watch, without even a receipt!!
They replaced the motherboard and sent it back!
Super excited! [emoji16][emoji16]

hello everyone, I thought that samsumg sent updates at the same time to everyone, but my surprise is greater when I see that Europe has updates and not in Latin America, my question is then what can I expect with this, that is, will I have updates every three months? I understand that if I change the firmware there may be some regions where it is faster, but then I lose functions like volte and vowifi? It's my first Samsung, I'm waiting for an answer for dummies since I don't know anything, thanks

Updates are staged from region to region, just in case there is a major problem with the update so that it does not affect every region to which the update is delivered to. Furthermore, if one's phone is through a carrier, the delivery of that update will be delayed in order for the carrier to tailor it to their network (normally just a week or two these days).

Hello, thank you for your answer, the device is free, it is not an operator, it has the region and continuation of my country, that is, could I expect it to take two weeks to receive the update? It's just that I heard from people who said that it took up to two months to receive an update, is that false?
I'm in the USA and have not gotten the update either, i wouldn't worry to much it will drop soon.

South Korea gets the update 1st. Then it's sent out to other countries but even if it was sent to your country, your carrier may delay the update for any reason. Samsung is better with updates but expect 1-2 months per update for devices 1-3 years old. Devices older than that I'm not sure.
I'm in the USA and I was getting 1 update almost every month on my S22U around 1 week after it was received in Europe.
(I received the February update yesterday about 1 week after it was received in Europe)
Got mine today in USA for Unlocked
Got it today too on unlocked running two MVNOs, Boost Infinite (AT&T) and Tello (T-Mobile). I was amazed how quickly the update was done too lol
