But only connects with 2g right?

I use my SGA with the Rogers networks and I can only connect with 2g data. My understanding is that 3g is only possible in Canada with the SGA on the Mobilcity and Wind networks due to the limited frequencies the SGA can use for 3g.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Eniac77:
I was told my Unlocked SGA couldn't run on AWS networks like Wind and Mobilicity.

As for only 2G? Umm... who told you that? I honestly don't know about the frequencies and such, but my 3G icon in my status bar lights up all the time and honestly, my SGA downloads speeds are faster than my Nexus S which was bought from FIDO.

why people just dont stfu

Its allways the same:

i remember my beloved HTC Universal, it was not that small device and people laughed at me. The same way they did on my Dell Streak. Now i use the SGN ans people stop laughing because their see, that Smartphones getting bigger because of their screen sizes... And everybody who held an big screen device in his hand and sticked with it will never go back...

Dell made a first step and Samsung did a big screen device even better. Thumb up for that
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
No-one should be surprised at the early success of the Note, for in my opinion it is the best smart phone ever made. I am especially pleased that Samsung has said the sales are particularly strong in Germany after Apple's spoiling tactics there with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 injunctions. It's time Apple started to compete by producing better phones instead of taking competitors to court.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
No they haven't, they've shipped over 1M to distributors, big difference.

This is awesome! I'm glad I decided to pick one up now instead of waiting for the US version to show up. I got sick of my Iphones and my Infuse just didn't have a big enough screen. In my opinion as well the Galaxy Note is the best smartphone on the market to date. <3 Samsung <3

I'm happy for samsung. I read somewhere that their goal is to get 3,000,000 units sold. It looks like they are well on their way.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
Any idea how the streak 5 sold?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Croak:
If it moved half a million, I'd be surprised. Shipping with 1.6 at the dawn of 2.2 didn't help, nor did the fact that it came late to the US.

And for those naysayers, if you REALLY want a good indication of whether or not something is selling well, check Ebay. Not for the device, but for the accessories. The small vendors that make and stock this stuff know which way the wind is blowing. The Note has over 300 pages of accessory auctions last time I checked.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] crazyut:
My friend and I bought one in London so make that 2 more for Canada and the United States (1 each)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lucid:
There's many people who followed this path :

HTC Universal - HTC HD - HTC HD2 - Samsung NOTE

Simply because these four devices were all GROUNDBREAKING devices when they were released.

One could argue that the HD2 still is... And my god what will our NOTE bring in 2 years from now (Windows8,Ubuntu in Nand?)

I'm working here in Dubai, UAE, and I can say that in November through December a lot of shops selling Galaxy Note sold out:D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ddeath:
Even if they said they shipped 1 million, I believe they actually sold 1 million. In Singapore, the Note is always out of stock everywhere! The stock comes in any store, it gets sold out in a day! It's huge, but that is also it's appeal, especially with the gorgeous screen. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Xaddict:
I paid for mine a month before I received it.

There were lots of us.

How many people are still waiting for stock to arrive?

The number shipped may well be significantly less than the number sold.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] spekesel:
In stock by amazon.de

In stock by amazon.co.uk

Checking idealo.de I see it in stock everywhere.

Here in NL, if I look at tweakers.net I see it is in stock everywhere.

So how it looks, in Europe at least Samsung has their faeces aggregated.

And shipped hardly ever = sold to consumers. Most of the time its a decent amount less.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] pachi72:
I am tempted to get it but reading the forums here it has to many issues....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eksasol:
I don't care what the actual number is and if its not an "iPhone killer". I have the phone in my hands and its an awesome piece of technology and the best mobile device I've ever owned. I feel sorry for the people who's buying new phones and dismissing the Note due to its size, they're missing out imo.

I do think accessibility and cost comes into play though, that affect its development community too if not many people can get their hands on it. I doubt it will get anywhere near popular as the HD2 for developers, but at least I know it'll get ICS.

Forum is meant to discuss issues. Go to the forum of any phone and you will find some issues. It's important to buy from a reputable reseller like Amazon that will honor your refund when problems arise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
No issues with mine. Like anything else...some will have bugs
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
You'd get *exactly* the same impression reading the forums for pretty much any device on XDA!

IMO, the Note has less "intrinsic faults" than pretty much any device I've owned, and I've owned a lot, including a Galaxy S II (as per your signature).

You do realize that 1 million shipped means that Samsung sold 1 million of them to the companies that sell them to customers. This is based on demand, they didn't order them to get cobwebs on shelves. So the title is not really misleading

It does at the moment. Normally i work 50 hours a week andcwould not have time to set up the Note. If i knew how much time I'd put into it (150 hours forum time so far!) then i would not have bothered.

But at current pace, I think in 6 weeks these issues will have been resolved and the Note will be an easy choice where you just Root, ROM and use like sn iPhone :-)

Great hardware from Samdung and the software will be good very soon too thanks to XDA Developrrs!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] MrSimtang:
Had my note for about a month now, excellent phone, however I think I had less complaints with my Galaxy SII than the Note.

SII was snappier and had literally no lag. While the Note is very fast, it's not SII fast, even with custom roms.

In saying that, the screen size and stylus are so damn useful. I initially thought the stylus was a gimmick and I'd never use it...... well I use it more than I use my fingers. Makes navigating and scrolling so much better. I love it. So the overall experience is better on the Note than the SII, even thought it's a little slower.

While I will most probably get the Galaxy SIII when it's released, I'll also be looking for the Note II down the track. Hopefully they can make it thinner, thinner bezel, and possibly have on screen buttons so that the stylus will work on the home/back/multi task buttons.

It's a shame people just immediately pass the Note off due to its size.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tbong777:
Completely agree with this. My SGSII had less lag but less everything else as well. The phone draws a lot pf POSITIVE attention. I bought mine used and got a white one although I wanted a dark one. I ordered a skin decal to cover up the white. LOL Its "loud" enough publicly. Don;t need a white one.

I will take a good look at the SGS III when it comes out and if I can live with .5 less screen i will choose it and sell the Note?>.................................or not

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enumBoss:
I went to check my email on my GSM Galaxy Nexus today and got a notification that there's *finally* an update available. This is the first since I've owned the device (two months now?). I wanted to track and see where it's coming from. I want to see if I can get the IP and tell whether the update is from Google's server or Samsung's on the yakjuxw build. But I have no idea how to do this. Anyone with experience willing to help me out? I'll post the results here, as well. Should bring some clarity to the different builds.

I won't be able to reply or check back until after work later today, but really want to find out before applying the update. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iconicpaul:
First of all, you have to install it and see if the build number has changed in order to confirm that the update is a system update and not something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snoemannen:
Have you updated it yet? Did it update to 4.0.2 or 4.0.3?

It says in your signature that you still have ITL41D, so it might just be the update to ITL41F that jsut fixes the volume bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tigajr:
Got the first update!

Hi, first, let me tell you that english is not my main language.

Got the first update today, installed it. I am still on 4.0.1, but there were some changes. I moved from a GN yakjuxw I9250XWKK5_ITL41D to ITL41F.I9250XWKK9.

Two questions:

1- Do you know what's changed?

2- I do not have the improve facial recognition feature. Is it only to the 4.0.2 update?

Tiga Jr.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] animaleyes76:
Your update was for the volume control problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kangxi:
You probably need to factory reset your phone to get face unlock to show.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tigajr:
Hi, thank you for the answer. I already have the face unlock, but not the "improve face matching". What I want to know is if this feature is only for the 4.0.2 update.

I was investigating and found out that the 4.0.2 was pulled from the Google binaries (can not put links yet, because I am new here). There, we can find only two versions: 4.0.1 and 4.0.3.

Maybe, our next update we'll be the 4.0.3. Hope It will be the one that will put everybody in the same boat.

Tiga Jr.

obs. english is not my main language

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lemim0uth:
And I wonder why people don't stop crying and start enjoying their phone :confused:

2 months? The phone has been out 5 weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skarenboo:
a lot of us that bought the unlocked gnexus got the "yakjuxw" device not the "yakju" device so we CAN'T update!!

I also got a notice for update and clicked update ... still on 4.0.1 but didn't see if it was from samsung or google!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
You can update no matter what. Just because you have a yakjuxw doesn't mean you'll be stuck on 4.0.1 forever. This has been blown way out of proportion it is stupid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skarenboo:
Yes, I know i will get an udpate... just MUCH SLOWER since SAMSUNG is known for releasing their updates uber slow!!

isn't one of the biggest perks owning a nexus = FAST UPDATES, FIRST TO UPDATE, NO BLOATWARE... so owning a SAMSUNG update device kinda defeat the purpose... we want GOOGLE to update us
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Guys, if you are getting the OTA updates for yakjuxw, please post the update URL if you don't mind, so that others on yakjuxw who have yet to receive it, can flash it. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
You're just not getting it, do you ? All updates come from Google, and even mysid for Verizon CDMA still gets tested by Verizon before rollout. The same applies to yakju and yakjuxw, etc. They are tested by Samsung/carriers, then updated. Does it really matter if you get the update 1 week later than other versions of the phone ? It's not like you're waiting 2 months. Sheesh....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I'm pretty sure you're wrong there. Google is only handling the builds done by google (yakju, and mysid), samsung seems to be handling all the regional builds. Every variant of yakju__ is compiled by samsung.

And yeah, it's been forever since the volume bug was discovered. And the update should have gone out a lot sooner then it has for the variant builds.

edit: I stand corrected
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got_milk:
Canadian GSM models who receive their updates from "Samsung" are downloading the update straight from Google. I'm 99% sure that Google distributes all builds for any Galaxy Nexus, regardless of location or device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
All updates for all build are pushed from Google's servers -- this is evident from the OTA update URLs (see here). Having said that, it seems likely that Samsung (and possibly the carriers) review/fiddle with the non-yakju builds before they get pushed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambda30:
Just as I said above. Thanks for confirmation. So now could you all stop complaining and spamming with tens of useless threads ? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
I stand corrected :o

Guess the carriers/samsung work on the updates, then pass them to google to push out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skarenboo:
would the yakjuxw owners please stand up!

Isn't owning a Nexus meaning "hey I got my update... and you samsung, htc, and lg people have to wait a long time b4 the awesome update..." so the TIME does matter...

and when you spend over 690 for a phone and you get an image on your phone with words "the product name of your device is yakjuxw. thus, your device is Not updated by google" wouldn't you get REALLY MAD and think to yourself "What The..." I got myself a nexus so I can get a quick update and bug fixes... and now my phone is tellin me my phone is NOT updated by Google...

Would the people that have yakjuxw tell me what they're plan to do...

are we SURE Samsung will be the one taking care of it after google release it? Samsung's reputation of releasing updates is just super slow

Most of the people that tell me to be patient or "Sheesh can't you wait" are the people with the yakju built... so obviously they're NOT really worrying about their updates cuz it WILL BE TAKEN CARE BY GOOGLE!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chandlerweb:
Getting back to the OP's original question....

... is anyone able to help? From the posts, it appears the actual update will come from google servers so the ip address will nit help. However, it would be useful to know how to identify the update URL - how is this done?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
How to get the update URL if you've received an OTA update

This is how to get the update URL if you've received an OTA update:

Method 1

1) Do NOT install the update yet!!!!!!!!!! If you do, or reboot, the URL will disappear;

2) Cancel the update;

3) Plug your device to your computer and open a command prompt;

4) Type adb logcat > logcat.txt;

5) Recheck for the update and install;

6) When it finishes, look at the logcat.txt file on your computer and find a URL that starts off with http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/ with a bunch of numbers after it, and ending in .zip;

7) Post it in this thread and here :) ;

8) Done.

Method 2

1) Do NOT install the update yet!!!!!!!!!! If you do, or reboot, the URL will disappear;

2) Cancel the update;

3) Go to the Market and install this;

4) Recheck for the update and cancel again;

5) Open the app that you just installed, and browse through it backwards until you a URL that starts off with http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/ with a bunch of numbers after it, and ending in .zip;

6) Post it in this thread and here :) ;

7) Done.

Note: It's been over a year since I've done this, but I'm pretty sure this will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iconicpaul:
In other words, the software makes some sort of a journey, from Google, to Samsung or/and carriers and back to Google and then to the users?
