[Q] France version of Galaxy note 8 still not recieving 4.2.2..Why?

According to sammobile, countries from Germany to Malaysia had received the 4.2.2 update, the earliest from August. Why do France still not received the update? Is it that hard to release it there?

Same thing here in Canada. I know that Samsung has a reputation of being slow releasing updates but in this situation the update has been released in other regions for weeks so why the hold up?

Android 8.1?

Anyone have any idea or hear any news of when Android 8.1 will be pushed to UK Nokia 6.1? News online 4-5 days ago that it started rolling out OTA in India?

Nothing here on my UK model. Stuck on February security patch.

I got the 8.1 update with the april patch a few days ago (april 13rd) in france

Is yours a European spec model or from Asia?

Good to hear it is being pushed in Europe. Hopefully get it this week!
I got it from Carphone Warehouse here in the UK, they got exclusive rights to sell it. Model TA-1050.

Its annoying. Hopefully get it rolled out ASAP.

Mine is from Carphone Warehouse too. I've tried using a VPN to spoof that I'm in India and France but nothing is coming through.
I'm hoping that 8.1 will allow me to use the more recent Google Pixel camera APKs as I'm currently having to use an ancient one in order for HDR processing to work.

No joys?
My only criticism of the phone is the camera, like you say, hopefully the update will allow us to use the updated camera apps.

It's a european model

What's your model number? Mine says TA-1050
I've tried using a VPN to spoof being in France with no luck. I wonder if it's tied to my IMEI.
Any suggestions as to something else that might work would be good.

Mine is also TA-1043 version 5
According to https://nokiapoweruser.com/variants-nokia-7-plus-8-sirocco-6-plus-1-emerge-various-certifications/ there are 5 Nokia 6.1 variants : TA-1050, TA-1043, TA-1045, TA-1016, TA-1054

I bought a TA-1043 from amazon.de (shipped to ireland) and i have not gotten the 8.1 upgrade either....
Does anyone know what the difference between the various models (1043 / 1050) is?

I just got the TA-1043 in Hungary from Germany (Amazon) and got 8.1 on first boot.

Anyone with the TA-1050 model got this update yet? I'm not very impressed given my security patch is from the 1st Feb... It's nearly May.
Anyone know what model lauched in USA the other day? Be interesting to see if they also got the update out the box.

Carphone Warehouse have exclusivity in the UK - not sure if my model is 'their' brand and therefore has slowed updates. Bit annoying that the brand new Nokia 6 is behind the old Nokia 6 with updates though - kind of makes me wonder what the real point of Android One is.

Yeah I don't think that makes a difference. They are sim free/unlocked devices.
As an android one phone, the updates are pushed directly from Google OTA (supposedly). Just find it strange that it's still not pushed in the UK.

You don't happen to be with EE do you? I seen someone complaining about Nokia phones not receiving update due to EE... On an unlocked phone... I don't have another sim to try.

Considering i have a TA-1043 (same as a user above who also ordered off Amazon Germany but is based in hungary and received the update on first boot), i'm guessing the updates are just country limited. UK/Ireland seem to be down the pecking order.
Has anyone tried connecting over a VPN to do the update (or at least download it)?

I’ve tried. No luck.

Nothing for ELE-L04, from Mexico...

I got it yesterday. In Serbia.

Got it today in Slovenia through HI Care app. I have a question. I use dark mode for my P30. After the update if i go to home screen settings, its all black...cannot see the settings. Can anyone try and give feedback.
NVM....it was a theme related bug.

Clock Style for Always on Display
EMUI 10 (10.0.0.168) is also available in Malaysia today. However, no sign of clock style for always on display . Anyone had this problem?

yes, it's the same, that's disappointing

nothing in ELE-L29 form Taiwan.

Vog-L29 Global version.
Im in Korea, using MNVO telecom based on KT. No updates for EMUI 10 either from the phone or through the Hi-Care app on Windows. I have set my phome country location to China, some countries in Europe, and back to Korea and nothing seems to work. Meanwhile other users with the same exact phone have already received and upgraded their phones... This is a major bummer

Still no EMUI 10 update for ELE-L29 C431E4R2P2

Still nothing for ELE-L04, Mexico...

Install Android 10 via HiCare app!
Enjoy!

I have P30 ELE-L29 C431E4R2P2 and i live in România. I saw that EMUI 10 had been released for P30 series but i didn't receive it so i asked Huawei Romania about it and thay said that this "particular" model will receive the update in January 2020 and it will be released in batches so it may take until February when my phone will received it. What a bad joke is Huawei right now, others received already android 10 only because they had a different region, and here my unbranded P30 which is identical on hardware level with every other P30 it will receive the update only in January-February next year just because i have a different region.

Strange, i am from Egypt and still no update! Did u use PC to update?

Alternative Firmware (Country) for Note 10 + (SM-N9750)

Hi,
I bought a Note 10 + Today in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Long story short - After a brief search online, I found the best price available on a website. It's only later when I realized that the phone is imported from Taiwan given that the Phones Model is SM-N9750.
What I found really frustrating is that some applications display the Taiwanese language. I check Sammobile for the same model and found that the only two countries supporting this particular model is Taiwan and Hong Kong. The rest of the phones from different countries have a different model number. So, is it possible for me to flash a firmware from any other country ( Preferably from USA, UK, UAE or India)? If so, which one is compatible?
Thanks

I have the N9750 (TGY/Hongkong) and it's in full French, I don't have app in Chinese.
maybe make a factory reset and reconfigure your phone in your language

Thanks. Regardless of the language. Is there any way I can flash firmware from another country? Is there any compatible ones for this model?

No Im afraid you cannot. N9750 is being sold only in two regions as far as I know. Hong Kong and Taiwan. I also have a N9750 TGY/Hong Kong. And I love it. Absolutely no bloatware, dual sim and SD855. Only con I see is its updates are slow compared to other models. No Android 10 beta or stable till date

Well, that's sad. I was hoping that it might be compatible with any firmware that running on exynos.
Not that I don't like Taiwan and Hong Kong based fw. It really is rock solid.
Here's hoping that someone might test out alternative fw for this model in the future and let us know.
Thanks.

S10+ Hong Kong version took whole one month over international model. So Im pretty sure the same formula will apply to our model aswel
I expect Android 10 update to arrive on 15 January at earliest.

I also have a 9750 (shipped with BRI, then I changed it to TGY using Samkey) and found that during the OOB setup, some app titles were in Chinese, but as long as you chose English on the very first screen, everything including those with Chinese app titles will end up being in English. As a last resort, you can do a full reset and make sure you select English on the first screen.
If you need help navigating, try using Google Translate's live camera translation from another phone to understand what is displayed on your screen (I had to do that once since my S9+ shipped already on the home screen--in Chinese.)

The Chinese government is probably vetting it to make sure there's no hidden code meant to subvert their policies and make it easier to organize pro-democracy rallies (j/k).

Taiwan model note 10 plus
@Rocks1991
Same thing here. Wondering if we can do anything to change the language.
More serious issue i am facing is that the bottom speaker doesn't work at times even after the factory reset. Does anyone face that issue? I guess i should replace the phone as this issue persists. Can i get advice on this?

How Do I Update to Emui 10 in USA?

I live in USA. I'm thinking about buying back the mate 20X. If I get the L-29 version, will I be able to update to Emui 10 on it in USA? If I'm not able to, what are the steps to take to update it to 10?

The update will be pushed to the phone. Even if you live in the USA.

yeps, just a matter of time until emui 10 is available in all global regions.

the way I made it was to get an SIM of China's Carrier on ebay or borrow one from your friend. Swap the SIM and check the update, the system will do OTA in a few minutes. Do turn off the data and use Wi-Fi. I guess the trick is Huawei's OS assumes your phone are now in China or other regions, so they will push the update to your phone directly. I successfully made it on three models, P30Pro, Mate 20x, and Mate 20x 5G.

Did you get the update directly from huawei OTA without any tweaks suggested on XDA?

It doesn't matter your location as much as what region build number you have. None of these are meant for USA market. Mine is C185 and I finally received Android 10 last night.
