Personally i prefer this disign over the standard HTC Design.

As do I...consideing cancelling my HTC one now but at june... not sure if I want to wait that long and also lose however amount on my diamond 1

Here is a link to T-Mobile website for high res pic's of the MDA Compact V
T-Mobile

hmm.. no front LED's.. are they not on the Diamond 2?

What tmobile priceplans do you think this phone will be on?

It's ugly. I like the original more.

Dude - that is NOT T-Mobile's website, and those are NOT high-res pics of the MDA anything. They are wishful thinking - and while they are great looking renders, no one on here should believe they are anything otherwise.

A case of Humble Pie me thinks!!

I stand corrected.

Phoned yesterday to T-Mobile Germany. Release should "KW 21".
Costs should be around ~150EUR with "Max Relax M Friends".
Just some infos from the guy on Hotline, nothing official.

Got mine today in the Netherlands.
Pictures are correct.
Coming from a HTC P3300 (Artemis) it is a lot faster
And the place for the micro-sd card is a lot better. Don't have to remove the battery and SIM anymore

I've got mine now for 2 weeks already and I must say: "Perfect Phone"
Only major differance is the T-Mobile TF3D home screen.
From the outside I think the T-Mobile version is way better than the standard HTC version. But hey, everybody has a differant tast, luckelly

Got my MDA compact V (NLD) yesterday.
Really disliked the logo beneath the screen, so I removed the plastic part, sanded the clearcoat and logo from the part (900 grain sandpaper) and airbrushed it again with clearcoat, much better!
(BTW there are 2 screws beneath the logo-part in case you want to dismantle yours, the logo-part is only stuck with double sided tape).
Also the T-Mobile branded ROM is quite ugly, luckily I could use a goldcard* to flash it to 1.40.707.1 WWE, much and much better!!
No more pink splash-screens, and no skinny click.
(*goldcard was generated with QMAT)

Just got a call from T-Mobile UK asking me to upgrade - basically wanting to keep my custom. They offered me a new phone or a tariff reduction by £15.
I enquired about the MDA Compact V and they said it had just come in last night but they only had 100 and all of those had sold out already. They are getting another shipment tomorrow so I should have it by Saturday or Monday.
I am hanging on to my 12 month contract for dear life. A new phone every 12 months for free on a £35 contract. Not to shabby I guess. Hopefully my next upgrade should coincide with tegra/snapdragon phones with windows mobile 7. Please MS don't delay any further.

I almost soiled my underoos when I saw this phone. Looks a lot nicer than the original htc version. too bad for the t-mobile logo splattered on it.

Hello,
I got the T-Mobile MDA Compact V (Dutch) for a week now. Can anybody tell me how to activate the Transcriber-software?
Or do I have to do edit the registry for this to show this option?

Gingerbread in Optimus 2x?

I saw an article on XDA Facebook, and in it it says that the Optimus 2x will launch with Gingerbread?
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...rs/ShsH+(xda-developers)&utm_content=FaceBook
From what i have seen the Optimus 2x launches with a 2.2.2 Froyo, so is this a mistake in article or will it realy launch with gingerbread?

Good Question! Would be nice to know where xda got their information from.

At this time , I don't think it will pre-install 2.3 when it become on sell to the market

I too dont think thats true. LG would already have announced it because that would be huge news.

w. w . w .lg.com/uk/mobile-phones/mobile-phones/LG-android-mobile-phone-P990.jsp
here they say it will be Froyo so I really don't know xD maybe later versions will be with gingerbread

Well here in Denmark, it will be sold with the Android 2.2 Froyo, but it will be able to be updated to gingerbread when you take it out of the box

This indeed is very very interesting:
Is this written on the outside of the box? If this is the case and its also on other language-versions, LG would be obligated to give us endless Android updates.
If they will once stop doing so, we could constrain them by a lawsuit or get our money back.

I downloaded the sync software from LG just to be ready when my phone arrives and I was told there was an upgrade available. Have you tried this? Might be some bug fixes.
Also, is that advanced task killer I see in the notification bar? Task killers may affect performance and stabillity in froyo if used indescrimimately. Please do not use this when doing initial testing before you report back on the phone here.

LGMobile Support Tool: 12/11/2011. It just prompted me of an update.

Guys, the LGMobile tool just prompted me that there is an update available on my phone. I'm running the stock rom v10d ever since. Haven't rooted mine from the beginning. And look what I have? Is this it? Is this Gingerbread? Have you checked yours?
Damn! So excited! Unfortunately, I couldn't update now. My internet connection is really slow. I'm afraid it would cause problem. Might as well try this tomorrow evening.
Here's a picture of it for proof. Check the date of my computer. I'm telling the truth! ****! Can't wait!
For those who have a stable connection now, please do check and update us here. Thanks!

I'm sorry. My bad. I'm not from the USA. I'm from the Philippines. It just showed USA cause that's the default one when you go to your tool. When I changed the country, I have the same notification. Check the picture again below.
I'm so excited! Damn! I don't have a stable internet connection as of the moment. Under maintenance. I'm having disconnections. If only, I could update now and tell you guys what this is. Sigh! Might as well wait for tomorrow, I mean later. Hehe! Yeah! I really hope this is it!
Anyone of you can confirm or any one have the same notification as mine??

As the guys already stated, this is NOT gingerbread. Europe, as announced, will get Gingerbread first. Europe did not yet get it, so that is just v10e or some other froyo variant. Wait for further news on when it will be updated in Europe and you will be able to install it as well.

Can't you also read?
I said I'm on v10d! That's the latest firmware in our phone. v10e for Europe, v10d in Asia. How can then it be another variance? Lol! The difference is the letter. And the letter depends on what country you are in. But we all have the same. And it's the latest. If you're not mistaken, then this is probably another upgrade of Froyo before Gingerbread. Or this is really Gingerbread. You wouldn't know. I wouldn't know. Too bad I have an unstable internet connection as of the moment. Luckily, if everything is fixed I can update later. They say that Europe gets Gingerbread first but what are the odds that Asia would receive the update first before Europe? Before pushing something there, just try to understand and think of the instances. This is not a speculation by the way. I'm just saying. And I have proof of the notification for an update.
#ihatepeoplelikeyou

Going out
I'm heading off. I'll try to update later this morning or in the afternoon if I'm not that busy. And then I'll tell you guys what it is. If anybody here gets the notification same as I did, please do share if you already have updated.

This post is useless like ton of other posts that said they have lg update notification that endly is froyo update.
Lg update notifications are buggy, so if you don't have installed and verify that you really have 2.3, posting that you have lg notification means nothing.

So, there is no proof if under country name isn't a V20. Even lg pcsync was saying new update, but after reading the phone sw all stops saying it's up to date. Korea got an update, but phones are not compatible. China did too, but with a test version

Unfortunately, if I remember well, it was said that 28 November commencing week which is long gone anyhow this is becoming another speculating thread so...it will be closed.

Yet another Gingerbread speculation thread closed.

So its been almost a week since EU started getting 5.0 OTA

Has anyone in the UK started to receive the OTA yet? If not I think we should keep each other in the loop on this thread?
Sent from my XT1092 using XDA Free mobile app

Not yet. I think it should come by the week after next week though. Of course though thats only a guess based on the other countries.

Why don't you just flash the reteu factory image, no need to unlock or even factory reset. Look at my older posts for what to flash (and what not...)

Unless it hasn't arrived in the next week or two, I'll be waiting for the GB version to arrive OTA.

With any luck it'll land before Christmas.

I have the retGB version and am still waiting. Can't really understand why the update hasn't come yet or even why there are retEU, retGB and retDE version when they all seem to be exactly the same. They support all the same bands etc so why not only have one version for EU?
Anyway I will wait another week if it still has not come by then I will convert my phone to a retEU. I live in Sweden so no real point for me to stick with retGB anyway, that I can see.

I think the different retail versions have subtly different default configuration settings depending on the region so they comply with local requirements. Nothing you can't change after the fact but it's probably part of the reason for the different retGB/ EU/ DE versions.
The fact it's not out in the UK yet is probably because the UK usually gets rolled out to last.

I wondered if in the UK and in Germany there are stronger consumer laws which would come in to play if there was a screw up with updates. Fixing the problems of broken or borked is not worth the hassle.
The nexus devices in the UK also seemed to be a bit slower to get the updates.
But that is just speculation. I would like to think that is the case and not just that we are left to last in the UK for no real reason!

My gf's nexus 5 got 5.0 weeks back when the rollout started on nexus devices (which I'm assuming was a worldwide rollout?)

Sony, HTC & Samsung have said they're rolling out their updates from next month. We haven't even got it in the UK yet!
What's the point of getting the update a week or two before the rest of them!! For my next purchase, I'm going to take Motorola's words on quick updates with a barrel of salt and look into other manufacturers.

So now there are rumours that the German OTA is rolling, I wonder how much longer the UK gets to wait??

Based on the following post from the thread "XT1092 Nandroid/Firmware" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57591807&postcount=36
It seem like there is an official Lollipop rom for retGB and we are now just waiting for it to rollout.
Unless I have completely missunderstood what is being posted in the "XT1092 Nandroid/Firmware" thread.

CHECKING FOR UPDATES INTENSIFIES
The ROM looks legit but I'm not going to flash it because it looks like it'll send the device back to stock. Keep those peepers peeled and remember to keep calm and capture the OTA URL: http://www.droid-life.com/2014/06/05/download-nexus-ota-url-file/

Check your system updates because my UK OTA is happening as we speak...

Just got the notification on my phone. I'm located in Sweden.
Not sure if I want to upgrade though... Upgraded my Nexus tablet a few weeks ago and I wasn't a fan of the new stuff.

OTA just hit my xt1092 gb device. Trying to get the OTA link for you guys - I'm in UK.

Question Did anyone get no update at all

A bit worried that all regions get an update or even more than one, and I am sitting here waiting...
S21 ultra exynos, Mena region
Am I alone?

I'm with you as well. UK, Three network and no update since AUAC just after I received the phone.

Nothing for me here in Australia yet

Same here on my US Unlocked version. I ended up just downloading the firmware manually and updated in odin without wiping.

Same, still on AUAC version, Jan security patch. There were two updates since I got the phone in the first few days of Feb.
I'm in New Zealand.
Samsung seems to do a very slow staged approach which I guess is so they catch issues before they affect too many people. But it is a bit frustrating when you really want to see the camera improvements...

I didn't even get the updates you mentioned.

Guys, be aware of the fact that it takes Samsung a few weeks (up to month) to push out each update to every supported CSC. I literally just got my update (that released on 2/11/21) about five minutes ago, lol - and that's in North America.
So don't expect to get each update with this device as soon as it launches in one specific region. You just have to wait a little longer with Samsung devices (or, you can do it manually if your update is already publicly available online).
But with all of that said, this update is only around 350mb and is listed to only contain the February 1st security update and another camera performance increase update. So no worries, people! (and someone can make a pinned post with some of this general information if they want to. This is our community development forum, and so I want people to know what's going on out there).

Not so much that, but carrier versions need carrier approval.

T-mobile US I had to search for the update but just installed it.

How? Same carrier and I've got nothing

Sadly there is NO CLEAR thread that explains in SIMPLE terms, for what exact model, what firmware version need to be installed in order to avoid data wipe.
Example XXUC = you can install only XCI, XCP, and XCR version safely without wipe.
Version IUYC = you can install only xxx, xxxx, and xxx version safely without wipe.
Every thread that i have read, looks confusing, does not state what can cause brick, what to keep an eye on, nothing!
