[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KageBeast:
Don't know if you still need help but assuming you never replied to the other person's post eh I'm assuming you figured it out. If you didn't though I should first say that the galaxy exhibit 4g and the galaxy exhibit are two different phones. Also the official stock firmware for our phone hasn't been released by samsung for some reason so there's no way to go back to complete stock unless you make a backup. Here's a link for a pre-rooted stock rom though that you can flash through odin http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2489238

Same Problem here but I am not sure how to use ODIN ?

I am having such a hard time getting My SGH-T599N to activate and I need the stock Rom Because I wiped my Android all ready. It can reach Download and even recovery but I think that it Needs the stock Firmware. I wonder if you have found the Solution yet?

Pre-order the Sony Z3 or Z3 Compact Smartphone from Amazon.co.uk get a £10 Amazon voucher when your phone ships. Offer ends at 11:59pm BST on Monday, 29 September
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] tilal6991:
Shame its only the white one otherwise I'd changed my preordrr in a heartbeat. Still seriously tempted - its effectively £281 with the voucher.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] King p1n:
They have Black and Orange as well
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Scottland:
Not at the same price
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] techguyone:
I just looked, its not at that price at all now, still cheaper via Clove at this time.

Given that the price appears to have changed within an hour, it was probably a pricing error or something.

Yep... Now disappeared
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] Pyres:
did anybody get it at 291£? that would border on stealing :D
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] james_d:
Managed to get the deal but now it's a waiting game to see if they will honour it. Prefer black and orange but can't complain if I can get it at that price.

I got it yesterday at € 404,43 on amazon.it, but today they cancelled the order saying the price was wrong. (19% off, from € 499)
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] robertkoa:
Too bad the lower price at €281 even better .

Wonder what these will go for in USA - I see Welectronics has them as preorder for $699. Factory Unlocked.

Do you think we will see $500-$550
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rp3:
Clove/Handtec are at the 290 british pounds. With 2 day fedex shipping, Handtec is £301.89 which translates to $494 assuming your credit card doesn't charge foriegn transaction fees (~505 with paypal including fee). What makes the 291 price the norm in America is that we don't pay 20% vat (national sales tax) on the purchase.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] robertkoa:
Early Pricing of Z3 Compact

On the UK Site for SONY which I was directed to in order to purchase Z3 Compact direct from SONY the price

was 429 Pounds which is unfortunately about $701. lol

If it was $500 I would SERIOUSLY have shipped to USA via paypal , Site said free shipping, not sure if they would ship to USA.

Shipping date was September 26.

Switching to USA Sony via same Parent Site, no ordering or preordering options yet- a little strange maybe.

Assuming a little fine tuning in the Camera Software, a Manual with some semi Auto Modes where you can easily tweek exposures AND a little better QC on the Speakerphones so they are clear like the big Z3 and

this little Z3 Compact will be a great phone- probably worth $700 but ouch thats a lot for a Phone but hopefully I can get for $600.

Never MSRP on Ebay has preorder price at $ 629.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] rp3:
Well, I live in NY and ordered the Z3 Compact from Handtec for $504 through paypal so that is a doable thing (the thread clove special offer is about clove and handtec having the $504-515 preorder price with a free case/phone charger).

I'm looking for help with a great project.

A modern, powerful phone (quad core) with android + firefox.

With dual boot, multi boot (grub4android for instance) or lxc container with virtual OS (android & firefox OS with fast switch)

We can start with a proof of concept using an existing - good phone (with CM11 sources, kernel sources ...)

And if people are happy maybe later create our phone with our brand.

Do you have experience with ROM cooking, customizing, etc.. ?

Do you like the idea ?

Had been hoping the Pure Edition would cover all of AT&T's bands too. Oh well.
[X 2014 General] mgymnop:
If this is true I will return my Moto X. This is bs that the pure edition doesn't support all AT&T bands. Why can't the pure edition not support all gsm bands. Omg I am so angry.

Looks like it does
[X 2014 General] matt99017d:
I wonder how much difference it'll actually make when it comes to connectivity and speed?

I ordered the the pure edition based on reports that the model would play fine with att LTE. I will not return it f it does not get all of the Bands though. I am curious as to why Motorola didn't put all of the same radio bands into the pure edition.
[X 2014 General] tacosrdelicioso:
I don't think att uses those other bands yet. Maybe they plan to in the future or something
[X 2014 General] sabbotage:
AT&T only uses bands 2, 4, and 17 in the US currently anyway so the pure edition will be fine.

[X 2014 General] matt99017d:
Thus, it explains the reason for just those bands!

Durp.
[X 2014 General] mgymnop:
There's a lot of half-truths out there about the Pure Edition working on AT&T. It's true that it supports AT&T's major LTE bands, but it doesn't support them all. If you're OK with having access to most of AT&T's LTE network, then it's probably not an issue.

This is from a discussion that I started on G+ Moto X forum:

"Almost all the LTE in Vermont is band 5, and I frequently travel there for business and pleasure. The HSPA+ network is unusable in places like Burlington.

For the second year in a row, however, the unlocked Moto X doesn't allow its users from accessing all of AT&T's LTE network. I think this is a fact that a lot of news outlets and members of this community leave out because it doesn't affect them. The blanket statement by +Motorola Mobility and members of this community that "it is confirmed to work on AT&T" and the like is misleading and only true if the standard of "working" is that it can at least connect to some sort of network, just not necessarily the current generation network.﻿"
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
It seems like the Pure Edition is mainly geared toward T-Mobile. It is missing band 12, but not every where has that. Tmo operates on band 4. T-Mobile is "pure" so it makes sense :p lol jk

[X 2014 General] mgymnop:
LOL. I think it is just plain stupid from Motorola to have two GSM models for the US market. Do they really used different hardware to cover the different bands or are they just disabled? First would be completely stupid.
[X 2014 General] sogrady:
I'd much rather that the Pure Edition have all the bands of the AT&T flavor, but as stated by [MENTION=3327130]sabbotage[/MENTION], it would appear AT&T only uses 2, 4 and 17 in the US anyway:

List of LTE Networks
[X 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
But T-mobile is bringing Band 12 online, and that is not supported. It does really look like there is an F-up here someplace. Hopefully only in the information released.
[X 2014 General] mgymnop:
Yes exactly and AT&T is using band 5 at the east coast (VT).
[X 2014 General] sabbotage:
I wonder if that info is even all correct. That's always what I went by, but it shows band 5 being strictly US Cellular and a few posts back the one person said Vermont is almost all AT&T band 5. So if that is correct then AT&T must be starting to just roll out band 5.

Band 12 is only in some places. It'll probably matter more in a year or so

[X 2014 General] jackdforme:
AT&T uses 17 as the main LTE band in the US, 4 in major cities where overhead is high and 2 is just starting now for overhead refarming the PCS spectrum. Nowhere do they use 5 at all. The phone will work fine with AT&T.
[X 2014 General] fvc2000:
It's the same mess from the 2013 MotoX

XT 1053 = XT 1095

XT 1058 = XT 1097

I can't believe they still release a UNBRANDED PURE version with less LTE band support than the AT&T one.

XT 1097 will be used in canada also, europe, parts of asia and is the one selling in brazil since the beggining of september.

So if you want a true LTE global phone, you are stuck with ATT.
[X 2014 General] plcline:
Copied from link below:

Bring your own device to AT&T

You can bring your own phone or tablet to AT&T with no annual service contract, if your device is unlocked - not programmed to work exclusively on another wireless network, and will work on one of these GSM network frequencies:

•3G UMTS network in the 850 / 1900MHz bands

•4G LTE network AWS / 700 / 850 / 1900MHz bands

Check your device manufacturer's website to see which frequency bands your device supports, and for information about unlocking your device.

https://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB113269

Band 5 is 850?
[X 2014 General] godutch:
will the att version work on european lte?
[X 2014 General] fvc2000:
Yes. On european network that use Band 7 - 2600mhz

I have a XT1097 and it works in europe and brazil. Tested myself.
[X 2014 General] floepie:
Uh, no. Go Dutch will want to steer very clear of that model. In NL and most other W. Europe countries 2600 (band 7) is used only in very special crowded areas such as stadiums. The Netherlands uses bands 800 (band 20) and 1800 (band 3 and mostly in urban areas only). 900 will be used also in the future by some providers such as T-Mobile.

I'm very surprised that the Euro version will evidently be very different from the US Pure edition if the OP is correct with only 3 bands. I'm finding this information very hard to believe.

According phonearena http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Motorola-Moto-X-2014_id8897,

Moto X 2014 has LTE bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 20. This is the one that EU'ers will want. Not sure if this will only be available in EU or is this really the Pure version both in US and EU. I can't imagine that Moto will make various Pure versions, but you never know.
[X 2014 General] nomadism:
I have more or less the same feeling. I guess the ATT and "Pure" version essentially use the same hardward (ATT does not support 3G AWS bands) and I hope some software tweaks will enable the LTE bands in the TMO model.
[X 2014 General] sogrady:

LTE, band 7.

Worked fine.
[X 2014 General] cb474:
I don't get this at all. The only difference of the Pure Edition is that it disables some of the LTE bands? Usually variants are different because they have some bands that the other one doesn't. What is the point of two different variants if one is just a hobbled version of the other?

*

That being said, I don't know if this is meaningful, but GSMArena reports the bands slightly differently:

They show the T-Mobile version with 700 Mhz (i.e. band 12). I don't know why GSMArena would know better than the Motorola website, but it does seem like thes specs are often reported wrong, even by the manufacturer. Although what GSMArena shows is also that the T-Mobile version is just the AT&T version with one of the LTE bands disabled.

*

Okay, but I thought 700 Mhz/Band 12 is supposed to be a big part of T-Mobile's future network. No? What is the point of releasing a new phone that is already sliding day by day into obsolesence. And what is the big deal anyway. Apple releases single variants of the iPhone that cover a bazillion different frequencies. Samsung also covers a lot more frequencies in single variants. So it can be done. What is the point of releasing phones that are just broken to start with?
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
well the new iPhone apparently forgot to include band 12 as well. idk what Moto is doing actually, but that doesn't stop me from buying the phone. it takes more than bands to tick me off. if i know that i will be on a carrier for the next 2 years that supports those bands, then i am fine. besides, band 12 is only in select markets, probably only like 10 states will have it? and only certain areas of the state too. band 12 will matter, but not for maybe a few more years

if the bands are just disabled, then flashing a radio.img can unlock them. it's like the n4's radio.img blocked LTE, but in reality, just a few tweaks to a radio.img and it had band 4 LTE for all future radios
[X 2014 General] cb474:
More confusing information to take with and extreme grain of salt. Android Central a couple weeks ago reported specs for the Moto X, with five different variants. One variant appears to cover all bands for both T-Mobile and Sprint. I take it this would be similar to the Nexus 5, where there was a single Sprint/T-Mobile variant:

The last one XT1092, would be the interesting one, if it exists. This contradicts Motorola's website where the Pure Edition XT1095 is sold for T-Mobile and is shown to have slightly different radio bands from the AT&T XT1097--Android Central shows them as being identical, which would make more sense that just disabling a couple bands on the XT1095 for no reason.

I wonder if it is possible that right now, because of the AT&T exclusive, Motorola is only selling a Pure Edition variant that is identical to the AT&T model. But eventually there will be a Sprint/T-Mobile variant that covers all of the T-Mobile frequencies. It seems like for people on T-Mobile it makes sense to wait a few months and see. There always are risks, I think, to being the first one to buy a new model phone.

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

Hmm, yeah, I guess you're right. It appears, GSMArena got that wrong. Weird since the iPhone 6 covers every other LTE band under the sun (no less than twenty different LTE bands in one model). These things are always pretty opaque and I would not be surprised if it later turns out the iPhone 6 does cover band 12.

As I say above about the Android Central article, I think it's smarter to wait and see, unless one absolutely has to have this phone right now. It seems like other variants of the Moto X may get released later, directly through Sprint and T-Mobile. What is the point in having the wrong version of a phone for one's network, just because one could not wait a couple months? People can always get the Pure Edition model later, if that's the only option. Also, for those interested in the Nexus 6, it doesn't hurt to wait and see what that's like either. Perhaps by the time it's announced, there will be more answers about Moto X variants for T-Mobile.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
T-Mobile's site states that the iPhone 6 has no band 12 LTE. I don't think Apple has it on their site either. So I really doubt iPhone 6 will have a band 12. iPhone 6S anyone? :p

I don't think there will be a T-Mobile/Sprint version. The old Moto X had the unlocked gsm version and that was for T-Mobile mainly. Same thing you see here with the Pure Edition

Nexus 6 won't be that appealing at this point. We have reached a wall when it comes to how good phones will get this year and in terms of 32 bit. N6 seems like it won't have the snapdragon 810. Maybe not any 64bit. Next year is the beginning of the 64 bit era for Android. It's all speculation and opinions from me though

Sent from my Nexus 4
[X 2014 General] erikiksaz:
Yeah, even on iOS, adoption rate of the 64bit architecture is surprisingly low, either 10-15% or something like that.

As for another take on the bands, from a source I trust, is anandtech.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/8523/the-new-motorola-moto-x-2014-review

It's listed by FCC ID, so that one should have the truest stats. It looks like the "Sprint" one nearly wins out with the most bands, save for AWS.
[X 2014 General] cb474:
Yes, you are speculating. You could be right about there not being a Sprint/T-Mobile version of the Moto X, but that contradicts what Android Central seems to be reporting. What happened with the last Moto X doesn't seem that relevant to me. Manufacturers change the way they do things all the time. (Indeed last time there was a Sprint version of the Moto X. This time they have not announced one so far. So they're already doing things differently.) In any case, it's not clear what the source is for the specs on an XT1092 model (some speculate it could be a forthcoming developer edition, someone else I read thought maybe the XT1092 is the Nexus X, which makes some sense), but that information got out there somehow, it apparently originated with Motorola, I wouldn't just discount it out of hand.

I don't see the harm in just waiting a couple months, as I suggested. There's enough contradictory information out there about what's yet to come with the Moto X, that it's foolish to jump the gun and assume based on speculation that we've already seen the options. Rollouts are often messy like this and different things come up later.

I think the Nexus 6 will be interesting, as all Nexus devices are. It doesn't need to have better spects than existing flagships. Being a Nexus device alone is valuable to a lot of people. And every device has a different combination of features, so the Nexus 6 could be the right thing for some people. Given that Motorola is making the Nexus 6, it seems like there's a good chance, if nothing else, that it could be similar the the Moto X, but have all the T-Mobile bands. That's not a trivial distinction.

Anyway, I think not assuming one knows what's going to happen and giving some time for Motorola to possibly release different versions of the Moto X is the most sensible thing to do. Unless one is just an incredibly impatient person and doesn't mind later discovering that one could have gotten a better variant of a phone for one's particular network.
[X 2014 General] 0.0:
I agree with the ending portion of what you said. It all depends on each user and what they want. For me, I saw a map of LTE band 12 for T-Mobile, and there isn't a lot area that it covers. Plus, currently it will interfere with TV signal frequencies or whatever. The government is trying to work stuff out to make it not interfere. So now I am seeing it will take a bit more time before band 12 can be more widespread, thus band 12 not being a big deal

I own a Nexus 4. It was a pretty good phone. When I saw the OG Moto X last year, it was nice too, I liked its features, but I promised myself to hold onto the Nexus 4 for 2 years at least. It's been almost 2 years, and my Nexus 4 is crap now. I was deciding whether to wait for the next Nexus or buy this phone. I really thought long and hard, and came up with the conclusion about the next Nexus, that I posted previously. Thus, the reason I went with the new Moto X. Plus, it is stock and dev friendly, so it's like a Nexus

Went a bit off-topic, but I love having this nice conversation and getting a different perspective, so thanks for that :good:

Per discussion on Motorola's forum, they are "taking a close look at the banding."

https://forums.motorola.com/posts/d766a5d90a
[X 2014 General] cb474:
I understand that band 12 is not in high use by T-Mobile right now. But I thought they're planning on rolling it out a lot more over the next year. I just hate to get a phone that is already on decline in compatibility with my carrier's network from day one. Especially give the (perhaps small) chance they they will still release a variant of the exact same phone in the next couple months that will have that band. As I've been saying, I just don't see the value in not waiting. (And I'm curious to see what the Nexus 6 will be like, rather than make decisions based on guessing what it will be like.)

---------- Post added at 04:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

Thanks for the link. Hopefully Motorola will be able to clarify some of these issues. At least they recognize that inconsistent and contradictory information about which phones have which bands has been published, even by official sites.

Interestingly, in that thread, someone links to the AnandTech review of the Moto X. AnandTech is usually the most technically sophisticated of the review sites. They also mention a XT1092 variant of the Moto X that includes both the Sprint bands and all of the T-Mobile bands, including band 12. Maybe it's hopeful thinking, but maybe there really still are more variants of the Moto X yet to be announced.
[X 2014 General] plcline:
Looking forward to what Motorola responds with on that thread. Ditto on the Nexus as well.
[X 2014 General] Kenmichi:
I'm a little shocked that no one has paid any attention to the fact that the phone is no longer quadband. The only CDMA supported variant is the XT1096 and if history is any indication that will probably come with a locked BL. Even though the 1st Gen Moto X now has a work-around who is to say that the 2nd Gen will have a similar work-around, or a work-around at all!

Anyone have more light to shed on this? This is unfortunately a deal breaker for me with this phone.
[X 2014 General] Note10.1Dude:
Yeah, published information doesn't make this look like a great option on CDMA networks. Only a locked-down Verizon model quasi-announced at the moment. Based on having an FCC clearance, I expect that there will be an MVNO-version that operates on the Sprint network - even if only by Republic. That isn't really any better if you want something flexible.
