Quick question...is the last update, the one that went out to the international Note with the adjusted keyboard option to one side or the other and the lockscreen changes a few weeks back, already installed on the forthcoming ATT Note? Curiously it seems that none of the reviews of late mention it as some still complain about stretching the thumb all the way across the screen to type without being able to adjust the keyboard. Thanks.
My guess would be no, but the minute you install Kies, or try an OTA update via wi-fi, it will show up.
I got my international note on Dec 23, the minute I connected there was 1 update available, and two weeks later another update which brought it to LA4, 2.3.6
These things probably have a 1 month or more window from production, shipping to, then arrival at a store.
I work on photocopiers, and the serial numbers have the build dates, and even though these things weigh 500 pounds or more, they have a 3-6 month window from production, to us unboxing them in our office. Most of the time, they are one version of firmware out of date.

International and AT&T have separate/different firmware release schedule and different firmwares as well. So, don't expect to see a firmware already there wait for you to update. It never happened on any AT&T devices.
Even though Samsung will frequently update firmware on international version, not so on AT&T version. First of all, AT&T has to request an updated firmware from Samsung. Without AT&T's request, Samsung can't do anything about it. Then, it takes couple months for AT&T test the updated firmware before OKed for release. Then, AT&T has to agree on a date for the release. Let's say GNote 2 or GS3 is about to be released on AT&T, the update for current Note will be delayed until the new phones are out of door.
I won't expect any update on AT&T Note until summer at the earliest unless some serious bug is found.
Got my i717M yesterday. It's running LA2. I have not come across any options for the updated keyboard.

+1. All updates to the ATT version must be approved by ATT. No such bottleneck for our version. Not to mention DBT seems to be on the ball.

True, IF any at&t note gets an update, consider yourself lucky
A carrier rom is usually the LAST one to get an update (except for iJunk).
Plus, please use caution and if you look for a rom not from a carrier, don't
try installing a rom made for an international (GT-N7000) to an at&t (SGH-i717)
and vice versa. Guarantee you'll brick it.

I wasn't aware of the keyboard adjustment, it sounds like the perfect fix for those of us that are under 6'4" and paw challenged. Shame the carriers are so timid regarding upgrades, but this keyboard fix is a need market app developers should quickly supply. That will make waiting for the big boys to bring goodies like CM9 a little more bearable. : )

So I'm guessing that means the LTE variant won't have the Evernote sync option from S Memo yet? Can any Canadian users confirm?

I have Thumb Keyboard from the market that I use on my 10.1 tab and it works beautifully by being able to move keyboard, split it, etc. I did notice it has a setting for 5" phone/tablet. Looking forward to seeing if it works on Note...and how well.

Great news on the LTE. Pre-ordered through BBY in McKinney to get the 50 buck gc and free cover. Still debating which insurance to get. Stepping up from the Captivate..it has seen better days. Very excited to get this beast and see what the developers can do with it.

You will love your GNote! I got ensquared for my GNote back in December, $58 for one year since I did not have a manufacturers warranty which you do. It is the only phone I have ever bought insurance on.
This is a screen shot of the stock Gingerbread Keyboard. I like it better than the Samsung keyboard. The one handed keyboard is Samsung keyboard option on my firmware LA4. I have not used it because I think the regular keyboard is the perfect size for emailing and texting two handed.

We may need to start a Collin County GNote club! lol! I want the LTE model as well! Right now I am looking to get an unlocked Canadian Bell model. We'll see if that works out. Turns out if would be about $50 more than the ATT model for no commitment. Just checking out a few details. They have the NFC enabled so I am checking to see if you can load Google Wallet and if it works etc.
Lag has been a minor nuisance since I've had the phone.
But it seems to have stopped all of a sudden either yesterday or today.

I was about to post a follow up on the tweaks and ART runtime (that had been working almost flawlessly on my device for almost 24 hours straight now) and saw this thread.
Even though the improvements given by ART and some RAM/Display/Scrolling tweaks were phenomenal, they still had moments of minor stuttering once or twice in an hour's time.
Today however, I noticed my device charging faster, not getting as hot, etc.
Is anyone aware of something that could have caused this?
2 of my close friends have the VZW G3 as well, on the latest firmware. I'm going to send them a text and see if they noticed anything different today.
I'll report back.
I am on 10b firmware, which the phone came with. I did not know there we're any other firmwears for the Verizon LG G3.

They are suppose to be working with LG continuously to make sure all the firmware improvements LG makes in response to the many issues us users/beta-testers have found and reported are updated onto our phones asap.
Particularly since unlike T-Mobile they have required our Verizon G3s be locked down so we cannot update them ourselves...
In reality, Verizon is happy with whatever shipped initially on the phones since everyone who got one is stuck with it for about two years and there is no revenue from updated firmware, so why should they give a damn ?
We might get a Kit Kat update to 4.4.4 maybe about the time L is released, and if Verizon is feeling unusually benevolent, eventually, an L update maybe 6 months later. Or not.
Verizon does not care at all about Android customers, even though we are the majority of their users. You can be sure they will be all over the iPhone6 phones when they release in a couple of weeks though.

100% agree with everything you said but comparing it to iOS is kind of unfair. Those updates comes straight from Apple. Although the majority of Verizon phones are Android, they sell more iPhones than any other device by far, even Sammy flagships. That gives Apple the leveraging power to be able to give straight updates and have no branding on their phones.
Apple produces updates and tests them for the various iPhone models, ok. Do they then send them out to Verizon and ATT and every other cell company that allows the use of iPhones for review and pre-OTA testing for "network compatibility" ? I don't think so, I think they update from their own servers directly to user's phones, but I am not sure.
For Android hardware vendors, though, if they even create updates for Verizon models, they have to, for some reason, go through Verizon to reach their own customers. LG cannot send OTA updates to LG customers, because Verizon won't let them ? Instead we have situations like with the LG G3, where T-Mobile and ATT and European users have updated firmware up to v10j while we are lingering with 10b still. The South Koreans even have 10k I think.
There are some significant improvements in these updates, but Verizon LG customers may never see them, because of Verizon. That is very annoying, to me, and the minute they take away my unlimited data I am gone never to return.
The Verizon LG G3 works with 4gLTE on Cricket here, and H, and Edge. That's on ATT towers. I am using that now. It also works on T-Mobile, though I am unclear about what connection types are supported. I heard LTE works there too. If I leave Verizon, I'll just stick a pre-paid SIM in and that will be fine.

I see you're still lurking around the G3 forum... You getting one??
It is a bummer to not have have the options we had on our S4s but I still love this phone with Root and xposed and I'm quite happy.
Our G3 devs are still saying they're going to be able to unlock these things which is cool... Anyways just wanted to say what up!

I tested my Verizon G3 with my T-Mobile prepaid sim and got better 4gLTE download and upload and ping than I got native on Verizon here.
So, both AT&T and T-Mobile LTE work on this phone.

Right now, it's looking like the G3. I'm still waiting to see the Note 4 tomorrow and the Moto X+1 on Thursday because hey why not. I doubt the Note 4 will be tempting enough to actually accept running stock TW or even hoping for a Hashcode disciple to get Safestrap on there, then I'm still really limited. The Moto X+1 probably won't have a removable battery, which is a problem. It's very annoying to use my One Max with it's embedded battery compared to S4 where I never think about it.
The ZL battery for the G3 just came out and it's looking like good days are coming in the bootloader situation, so I'll probably be pulling the trigger soon enough.

yeah i looked that up after i posted that lol, I remembered 8/30 being the release date, that's the second delay already. It's a shame they're tripping up like this. I hope it at least means a better product in the end.
The Note 4 is pretty enticing right now, I need to let the newness wear down lol.

This morning I realized that my phone had not received any OTAs yet, so I sideloaded the MDA89D to MDB08K zip (find it here) and then got the MDB08L OTA notification as soon as the phone booted up.
In talking with friends with a 6P and looking at other threads, there seem to be a lot of users that are still on the factory MDA89D build, so I'm wondering if the delay is carrier specific.
FWIW, I activated my 6P without a SIM card and then have been using it with T-Mobile. Checking available updates always showed nothing was available.
It seems like Verizon users are not getting OTAs yet, as expected from an existing thread. T-Mobile users *should* be getting one since they are turning Band 12 off with it.

I did not receive the OTA, but I did flash the new factory image as soon as I unlocked the bootloader.
yes just received phone in the mail today after setting everything up I got the OTA update installed with no problem
I simply just change the date few weeks forward. I didn't receive both updates soon so I just fast forwarded date a little. Then updates pop up on both times. Should give it a try before going on a manual flash route.
Didn't have to do anything, it just arrived while I was updating my S5 to 5.1.1.
Was reading an article recently where a Google engineer explained how updates go.
1% get the update first, if no problems
25% get the update, if no problems
50% get the update, if no problems
Etc etc
No mention of a time frame between percentages though.
I got the device Friday, on k version, got the l update earlier today.
Expect to see them monthly as Google is releasing security updates on a monthly basis now.
Need one for carrier less. Updated before putting sim in.
Got an OTA this AM on Fi Sittin on MDB08L. I have an unlocked bootloader as well.
I got my 6P today and turned it on. As soon as I signed into my Google account it told me that I required a software update. Didn't even finish the setup wizard before it downloaded and installed.
I ordered through Project Fi as soon as I got my invite. They sent the sim with it and I put it in and turned it on. Boom, update.
Yep got one today.

It's interesting to see that, so far, most voters who have not received an update are on another carrier (or carrier-less), or Verizon. I was interested in seeing what Sprint users are experiencing, but there has only been one Sprint user voting so far (a friend on Sprint has not received any).

Already flashed the update through mskip's toolkit. No wiping of data required though it flashes the whole ROM, not just the update (900mb).
I'm on AT&T. I got the first OTA when I turned the phone on for the first time, but where the hell is the November security patch? I thought it was supposed to start rolling out on November 1, yet it is November 10 and I still don't have it? What the hell Google? I understand a slow rollout of a major update, but security patches should be available to everyone on day 1, if not automatically, then sure as hell if they press the damn update button in settings. This is why companies don't take Google seriously when they talk about security.
I click "Check for Update" and nothing happens, says last time it was checked was November 30th. Tried rebooting, rebooting with no sim card . . . any ideas??
Just got one. Taking FOREVER to optimize apps. Painfully slow.
Just got my update through Telus in Canada. Installing right now.
just got 128gb 6P and got it activated on Sprint .. OTA about 15-20min after
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.

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.

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.

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!

Just wanted to see if anyone who purchased the mate 10pro from three UK has had a firmware update yet.
My device shipped with BLA-L09 8.0.0.115 (C782) and I haven't had any updates yet.
I have spoken to Huawei CS and they have said that I should receive an OTA update to BLA-L09C 8.0.0.124a(C782) but it's yet to materialize and I haven't seen this version mentioned anywhere.
The reason I want the update is because I'm having camera issues, in low light photos look like an oil painting and are lacking detail. I also keep getting this message to keep the phone steady even if I rest the phone on something flat
Thanks for any input on this
I get the same. I guess Huawei will eventually fix the problem with a software update. I'm also on version 115 (C782) without an update on O2. I was told 124 version is rolling out, but not recieved it yet.
However, I seem to remember another member on here also on 3 network had received the update in the last few days. It's based on your IMEI number from what I understand.

I get the same. I guess Huawei will eventually fix the problem with a software update. I'm also on version 115 (C782) without an update on O2. I was told 124 version is rolling out, but not recieved it yet.

Yeah I think it's done in batches, I have the CS rep my IMEI number and that's how they knew what firmware I was on / due to be getting.
Really hope it's sorted cos at the minute the camera is rubbish in low light auto.
Does your phone have a O2 bootlogo? Mine has a three logo, just wondering if networks like to tinker with the firmware before it's sent out and causing further delays.

No, I just have the Huawei logo. I picked it up from Carphone Warehouse who don't normally tinker with the branding too much.

I'll keep this thread updated if I get any updates and want improvement it brings
Hi, I am on three network... but bought the phone unlocked from CPW. Original firmware was BLA-L09 8.0.0.115 (C782). Received an update about a week or so ago to BLA-L09 8.0.0.124 (C782). On a side note....Used the phone for a wee while without a SIM card, but as soon as I put one in it installed the three splash screen and other three bloatware (wuntu etc)... must be one phone sold by Huawei to all the vendors that customises itself to the SIM inserted... with that in mind, would have thought that these would update soon as they are identical initial firmwares to mine. As to the camera, can't really comment outright with the old firmware... have done some low light comparisons now with my s8+ and have got to say the mate 10 pro edges it slightly... which is a pretty big deal, because the s8+ was always a beast for photos. My only grumble (still there) is that HDR isn't on by default. Bugs me to bits that one....

Thanks for that, I might try a different sim just to see if anything changes (don't even know if the phone is locked to three) waiting game for that update now :good:
I got mine last Saturday from Cex. On Tuesday I got an update do 127. I don't have any issues with camera in low light but in terms of that "sharpening photo" message I had it on P10 as well. I think the handset is still taking picture in challenging light conditions, even after you've pressed the shutter, for like a brief second or so. I do have issues with WiFi though. As in, shows it's connected to WiFi but I have to turn WiFi off and on to actually see any content in chrome etc. It doesn't happen that often but every now and then.

I was offered 124, but it failed to install, and then wasn't offered it again. I installed Hisuite from their website, and was instantly offered 124 again.
Worth a try.
I have a 3 supplied M10Pro, running a ee sim currently.

I also have that WiFi issue, I've stopped using it and just relying on my 4g (ayce data).
Really am thinking of returning it, I had a oneplus one before this with less issues, it's amazing how much difference the software can make

Will give it a try, I was thinking about removing the SIM and doing a factory reset to see if I'm offered the update after a fresh install, but it's probably just pot luck with the IMEI
Same here, wifi is virtually unusable so i rely on my 4G which really sucks. I bought mine sim free from Amazon uk and im on the old firmware too, Tried the Hisuite but not offered the upgrade

Does it make a difference if you use 5ghz or 2.4? My old Z5 used to have issues with 5Ghz.

You mean from the router ? I think mine is set to auto but never had this problem on any other phones and i've had lots !!!
Wifi
Having WiFi issues too. Connected via 5 GHz and each night the WiFi suddenly disappears. Have to toggle WiFi on and off to get it back. Bought as upgrade on Three network and on same software as other posters.
Just tried the hisuite to see if it offers the update, but no luck.
My router is also set to auto but never had this issue with other phones. Is it worth setting the router to just 2.4 to see how it goes.
I've also turned off this WiFi+ just to see if it makes a difference

I normally name them differently so I can connect to the one I want.

Mine was unbranded from Carphonewarehouse but as soon as I put the Three sim in it, it downloaded Three firmware, boots up and closes down with the Three logo now
WiFi issues here too amongst other things. Thinking of sending it back
Huawei issue with WiFi is when using 5ghz it will kick you off and freeze.
If you connect to the 2ghz only it will work perfect for you.
It's the same problem with Huawei routers using 5ghz sucks. Must be a Huawei 5ghz problem in general as the hardware they use in router and phone suck. My old talk talk router made by Huawei used to freeze on the 5ghz all the time.
I'm also on three mobile with unlocked 10 pro on 115 firmware and still waiting on a update....
I'm my case WiFi is fine (using only 2ghz thou)
Camera in low light is useless
Always on display causing freezing when unlocking phone (turning off always on display cured the unlock freezing problem)
Putting an ee SIM in you can upgrade using hi suite but I'd rather wait then mess with phone and have EE bloatware on my phone.
