cool man but they are only black! and i am not a dev either LOL

I guess the goal here is you would have root on 4.4.4 with no problems and the unlocked boot loader for roms choice, and rooting in future with Lollipop. (Which sadly doesn't look possible in the future with out and unlocked bootloader.)

dont think that should be a problem? with unlocked bootloader throw twrp on and use su zip. at least that is what you could do on note 3 dev ed. unless 4.4.4 has changed

Exactly,
My question maybe should go into a previous developer forum but how does rom updating work because I've heard the developer editions doesn't get official updates. How would we update to Lollipop etc, are there modified rom versions that take out the boot loader locking triggers? or is this even a worry. Maybe someone can chime in with a Note 3 Dev.

you would have to have a dev extract it from regular note 4 or whatever gets update. i had the note 3 and zero updates. and twrp and root triggered knox 0x1 on it just like regular but it shows dev mode

That sounds like the perfect solution. So the Dev's were pretty responsive to converting updates etc?

Check Expansys USA -- they have the 'Lava Grey' (i.e.: black) version for $210, with free basic shipping. 'Natural aluminum' (i.e.: silver) version is s'thing like $30 more. I'm posting this reply in a hurry, so no links -- sorry.
n.b.: Expansys does not specify China (PRC) or Taiwan model, but it's easy to conflate the two countries as 'China'. I asked Expansys to check stock; they sent a fresh device photo, showing /all/ Google services installed.

I just received my n1 from Expansys.
I confirm that it does have the Google play store.
It came in Chinese but I changed the language.
The android version is 5.0.1 but it asked me to update the software as soon as I turned it on.. Downloading now.. Hopefully it's 5.1...

NOkia N1 taiwanese version only 257USD !
my friend helped me buy a nokia n1 in taiwan and its cost only 257 USD . is it cheapest ?
haha

My N1 from Expansys has Build number A5FM401. Neither the tablet nor the retail box nor the packaging was shrink wrapped. Is there a reliable way to determine whether it had the TW version with Google Play straight from the factory or whether the software was altered after it left the factory?

Well, I can say that I'm quite happy with the Taiwanese N1 I bought from Expansys USA. It arrived brand-new in factory packaging and after the usual set up (plus some extra time required to get around the initial language barrier) works great...best $210 I've ever spent on an Android device.

Here's what I can tell you, from personal experience.:
• A5FM401 is the factory-installed build for Nokia's Taiwan release of the N1. Shortly after first login, the device will download several OTAs, culminating in Android 5.0.2 (A5FM51C).
• With my N1, the shrinkwrap had been carefully cut likely to open the box for inspection as noted in Expansys' catalog (e.g.: to check for damage and/or a US-type power plug).
• The tablet itself still wore the factory's wrapping. I carefully examined the polythene under bright lights (think C.S.I.: Android !), but saw absolutely no signs of tampering.
• From talking to several people who own the Chinese (PRC) model, nobody in their right mind would go to the trouble of re-flashing one to make it look like the Taiwanese part.
BTW: when I asked Expansys to verify Google's apps, s'body in the warehouse kindly sent a pic of a freshly unboxed/booted Nokia N1. Maybe that's the one you got?
Hope this helps a bit.

I'd like to hear your results, for sake of curiosity. Meanwhile, mine stopped at Android v5.0.2 -- I'm told this is the current final release for Nokia's Taiwanese N1.
To date, only their Chinese (PRC) part has been upgraded to 5.1.1, but since that OTA rolled out just a few weeks ago, I guess there's still hope for the rest of us.

Good reviews, so far, plus I figure you can't go far wrong for $10.

I am happy with the Expansys unit as well, I was debating between the N1 and the new Asus zenpad 8.0 s which has the same processor and slightly better specs but costs more.. The N1 is much better looking and has stock Android which is a big plus.
I hope they will keep on updating it, eventually to Marshmallow, since after all it's stock Android...
Great tablet, I just wish I could find the official cover that doesn't seem to be available anywhere...

It's very helpful - thank you. The info about the build number suggests that the software is original. Someone here said their tablet was rooted, but I suspect they were mistaken. I missed the part in Expansys' catalog stating that they open the boxes for inspection, that makes it much less suspicious.
The tablet is impressive for the price. Build quality, thinness, performance, wireless specs, battery life. I guess that's why I'm questioning - because it looks like it falls into the "too good to be true" category.
Would love to buy a docking station that takes full advantage of the Nokia N1, whatever it offers from the Type C port out of the box or can be hacked. This press release for a dock reference design specifically mentions the N1 tablet, but I suspect because it was one of the earliest devices and not because the dock is optimized for the N1.

Yeah, I'd say he's simply wrong. And I'm a careful guy -- first thing I did after I got my new N1 running was to install AIDA64 (a free HW-analysis app; look for it in the Play Store). It confirmed that the device was not rooted.

Expansys append something like that ('Note that the box will be opened...') for a large number of listings. I guess we can assume they get their stock from a wide variety of sources and under varying circumstances.

LOL I know, right? This thing is just astonishing value for money -- a super device at an unbeatable price. Except for the disappointing camera and (so far) lack of Android v5.1.1, I'm 110% happy with my purchase.

Yep, that would be a neat accessory, for sure. Well, you never know; it's pretty clear Nokia see their future with Android devices, so maybe we can look forward to an upgraded 'N2' tablet, using the same shell.

Couldn't agree more.
The N1 is delightful in it's simplicity, with vanilla Android and elegant design. Nokia took the iPad Mini's basic look and improved it; rounding those famously 'chamfered edges' gives much better feel in the hand.

Three PAYG UK

Has anyone actually managed to order the phone from Three for pay as you go? I've tried over 20 times but it just fails at the payment screen used my partner's card too and the same thing happens.

Why would you do that when you can buy direct from razor? Though admittedly right now all you can do is sign up for a notification email.

I successfully pay for the pre-order of the phone in 3‘s website, so I think there is no problem with the website. Maybe you should use another devices to finish the payment.

Tried that still won't go through

I had exactly the same problem as you, tried around 30 times with different cards, addresses, people.
Eventually got a buddy to try for me with all his details and it went through fine. Pain in the ass, three don't let you pay that much over the phone too so no point in you trying to contact their customer services.
In store they are only taking pre-orders for people doing contracts so a waste of time there too.
Get someone else to try.

Is the phone on display yet on Three to view? also will there be roms on this device? as really thinking of selling the op5 to buy this.

My local store didn't have it on display but when asked they had one behind the counter and I had a go on that for around 15 mins. I personally love it.

I have just spoken to the customer service and they said that the reason for not going through is that anything pay as you go has to be under £100. Sounds ridiculous to be honest.

its on display at the three store in enfield town. its very cold to touch and quote boxy/clunky with big bezels, think of a sony xperia in cold metal rather than glass. ordinarily i would move on but for some reason I LOVE THIS ALOMST RETRO DESIGN. i must say the display isnt as bright as the s8 or my OP5 on the demo unit...

[Q] Samsung Upgrade Program UK for S9/S9+

Hello,
I am part of the Samsung Upgrade Program as of last year when I purchased the Galaxy S8/S8+ through it. However, those devices launched in April last year, and the S9/S9+ are now launching in essentially March. Does this mean we have to wait the additional month to be able to upgrade or will we be able to upgrade early so we will be able to get the device on the launch day of March 9th?
Thanks for your help,

Good Morning,
I had the the S7 Edge +, and upgraded it too last year to the S8+, I received an email with a link to go to to process the upgrade.
I've just spoken to the Samsung, on the phone, and they say the emails should be coming out soon.
Fingers Crossed

Thanks kjtaylor13, I was going to phone Samsung today as I was worried that I had missed the communication regarding the upgrade program.

Hi All,
I'm not the most patient of people when it comes to wanting new toys. So after my call to Samsung this morning I have:
1- Tweeted them asking how to upgrade
2- FB Messengered them, the same
3- Online Chat
Results So Far:
1-No Reply
2-No Reply
3-Call Sales team.
I would like a definitive answer as to when / how we can upgrade.
If I get anything I will of course post it here.
Cheers
Kevin

Me too I have been looking and can't find anything. Hope it's soon. Its my first time doing it do we have to send the chargers, headphones and those adapters back too?

I keep all the bits ready to send back in the original box. And try and keep my phone in tip top condition. But I think all they ask is that the phone is in good working condition, with minimal wear.
Had no problem with sending back my S7+
Cheers

I had actually messaged via Facebook last night before I saw this thread, the response I got was that they have changes to the eligibility period for the upgrade program and the only way to find out when you can upgrade is by calling the sales team. Calling centre is a horrible experience, it's just the same repeated message, 'it will take more than 5 minutes to answer your call'... yes I know I've been waiting for over 15 mins...

I have spoken with Samsung and the financial company about the upgrade programme as like you say the S8 was released less than a year ago. Samsung didn't seem to know how the upgrade programme worked and asked me to contact the financial company who stated that we could only upgrade after 12 months of starting the agreement with them, which for me was April 17 even though I got my S8 from pre order last year??
I still haven't heard anything through their facebook messenger and I did contact them last night

FYI guys you can check if your elligable here: https://shop.samsung.com/uk/multistore/ukupgradechannel/ukupgradelounge/registration, gutted as I'm not due till the beginning of April!

Thank you so much! S9 Plus ordered

I preordered my s8+ however there was a mess up and I didn't get it until about 2 weeks after lainch, perhaps that's why I've been pushed back.

Where did you find your agreement number? It says 7 digits but mine show as 9xxxxx-001 or ref P4L-xxxxxxx (which doesn't work without the P4L either)

It was on an email I received from Close Brothers, 1XXXXXX-001 and just ignore the last 3 digits and dash.

Hi,
Mine was XXXXXXX-001 so I removed the -001 and was able to use that.

For those who has ordered have you been able to track order on Samsung site? When I try to log in following link to track order it tells me my email is wrong

there's a new update today oneUI

It takes about 30 minutes between downloading and installing. Looks mostly cosmetic but they list a lot of changes. It's such a great device.
Anyone know if there's an automatic way to stop getting any notifications during an excerise routine? Sometimes when I am running, and watching the excercise screen for heart rate etc, ssung health suddenly decides I have 'reached my daily target' or an email comes in, and then it won't switch back to only showing excerise, which is what I want, and if you are running you can't just stop and try to figure it out, or hit back and it thinks you are pausing or ending the run!

Lucky you got the update. We still haven't received anything. Hopefully, it rolls-out soon. Anyhow is there a way to manually update it?

Yes it is easy, install xar csc, there is tutorial on xda for gear s3, same for galaxy watch and you always get updates 1st.
Watch is smoother on one ui, s health redesigned, and on phone's s health now you cant choose manually between watch and phone steps, there is only allbsteps and mobile phone steps.

The only way to download and install updates is to open the Galaxy Wearable app.
Then: About watch > Update watch software > Update now.
You can also check out this Reddit post which lists all regions that have already received the update.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyWatc..._ui_update_galaxy_watch_galaxy_sport_gear_s3/
Looks like the Bluetooth versions are the first ones to get it.

Not exactly true. One can use SamFirm (or any firmware site) to download the latest full image, then use NetODIN to flash the watch (though it's not the easiest solution).
Another, even hackier solution is to use the very well hidden POGO pin port on the back of the watch. It's under a small hatch at the bottom strap's connection point. It matches the pinout of the first Gear S watch, so if you have a dock for that, all you need to do is pull the dock's plastic cover, then the hatch on the watch, and after making sure the pins match, you push down to make connection (and of course put it into recovery mode before doing this). This will make it appear like a regular USB device, and you can use regular ODIN to flash it.
However I couldn't find any uploads of the firmware yet.

Here's a link to it. I have it as I own an old Gear S but I don't think it's worth buying.
I also checked on SamFirm and several other websites and the OneUI update hasn't been uploaded anywhere.

It's a few dollars, and it's good to have for worst case scenarios if you flash your watch a lot. Your average Joe won't need it, but those hardcore modders like me find it a godsend
I had a Youtube video about it somewhere but it's lost in my history sadly. I'll try to find it again though.

so basically if i remove the 4 delta screws, the leads should be under the black shroud?

No. Check that black little plastic rectangle at the bottom of the watch in your picture, partially covered by the hinge. It's really easy to miss if you don't know what you're looking for. Basically take the watch, turn it on its back, and look under the hinge where there's more text on the back (top says SAMSUNG GALAXY WATCH, you need the other side where the serial number, model number, etc. are), and you'll spot that cutout. You need to pop that out, and you'll find 5 POGO pin connectors. It's the same pins as on the Gear S, however I can't remember unfortunately what's the pinout on the watch itself, how to match it with the dock's pins. I'll try to find said video, hopefully I can.
EDIT:
First picture in this post shows the POGO pin pads with the cover hatch removed: https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/sm-r765f-teardown-t3659431

I'd assume that the POGO pin connectors are located underneath this latch if that is what you mean.

Yes it can, i tried searching for the Gear S (SM-R750) firmware and it was available for download.
BUT I also tried searching for the Galaxy Watch (SM-R800) and the tool just returned errors.
