[Q] Brought US version of 32gb Wifi 10.1 - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i brought the tab from the following seller on e bay, its been delivered but I'm away in Thailand until Sunday so couldn't check myself. But can anyone answer this.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300570883052&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Will i have any problems putting the UK stock on it? Or are the EU and US WIFI only tabs the same model number? hoping i haven't shot myself in the foot by ordering it through ebay.
Sorry if this has been asked / is a stupid question.
Thanks

The auction never mentioned P7510, but from the specification, it is 8.6mm, it has to be the P7510, which you can load any ROM on it.

I bought the 32GB US model from ebay and i've loaded the Euro Touchwiz ROM featured on here with no problems but went back to the Stock US ROM it came with. I have used both CWM recovery and ODIN3 methods and they work well. I found the Touchwiz ROM a bit buggy and slow but I heard that version was a BETA version so i'm waiting for the US release of the upgrade next week, hopefully it will be better.
It's released here in the UK next week so it might come with a version catered more for this region.

[Q] us tab in uk

hi, will the us tab work ok in the uk? can get one from e bay to save waiting til the uk release date but just wondered if it will work ok and its the same as the model being released in the uk
Hey - I got back from the States a few days ago with a new Tab and it all seems to work fine. I've rooted mine and installed the Euro version of the TouchWiz ROM and everything seems good. "Upgraded" from an Acer A500 and just from the screen quality alone, there is just no comparison between the two.

[Q] Galaxy S2 Brand New From Spain

This phone is sold for 400 is it worth buying guys? Can I use it with AT&T in English language...Anything I should worry about? I need as many responses as I can get before I head out to get it!
Just got the Spain version from the eBay Daily Deal/Buy.com seller yesterday.
For $400 I guess it's a good deal used.
how do i know if it's GT i9100 or 9100T, the international version vs the US version?
Ask to the seller. You can find model behind the battery.
Regards.

Some firmware regional versions better than others ?

I remember when I bought my Samsung i8910 a couple of years ago I didn't know to buy a version for a specific region as opposed to another, and as updates for the Italian version consistently rolled in my Portuguese version NEVER was available for update (even 2 year later) without flashing a new ROM ... not a big deal now but not the easiest thing back then. Is that still the case today ? I am planning on buying an International GS2 for use on AT&T in the US ...and bottom line is there some version that is better than another?

buying a S3 in USA

Hi,
in one month I will be in the USA for my vacations and I would like to see if buying a S3 (and the nexus tablet, in case it comes out by then) there would be cheaper.
the thing is I live in Italy and I would like to know if:
A) an unbranded version of the phone is already available there/will be by then
B) if it is, if there are any differences in the version of the phone and if i will encounter any issues using it in Italy (maybe also considering warranty?)
thanks in advance for your attention ,
Nicola

[Q] Are Samsung firmwares for different countries. developed in the same place?

Hi All,
I am hoping someone knows the answer to this. I am in Australia and still waiting on the Note 2 4.4 F/W release whilst most other counties got it months ago.
Does anyone know are Samsung firmwares for different countries all developed from the same place with the same dev team etc or is each region responsible for pushing out the firmwares for the devices in their region with their own dev teams etc?
I ask because my carrier has been advising since July it was coming since August and since then each month they post a new update saying sorry delayed again new ETA..
The thing is, this behavior is not limited to Kit Kat, this device only nor is it only limited to carrier branded firmwares too...
As an example the same thing happened with 4.3 was released elsewhere and months later we got with the initial released scheduled for early December with it being delayed and finally dropping in February. Furthermore other Galaxy flagship models suffer the same fate with the Aussie F/W always being delayed. And now let me mention the fact that my friend has a Galaxy Note 10.1 tab N8010 which is wifi only and unbranded so is only dependent on Samsung making the F/W available directly and it is still waiting for 4.4
I wanted to state that because Samsung are trying to pull the wool over my eyes with their replies to email questioning the delays in Aus telling me it's the carriers fault for the delay and that in fact the carriers have the F/W already and just don't want to release it. I know that is BS because the Australian unbranded non carrier reliant 4.4 has not already been released yet and before Samsung can give the carrier their firmware thy have to develop the unbranded version first and then make a version based off this with the carrier bloatware etc..
Anyway I am curious to know where these F/W are developed because if Australia has to hire their own dev teams and push out the F/W releases for Aus devices then it makes sense why we are so delayed clearly the Aus dev team is crap! But if all the F/W worldwide are developed from the same place then I don't know why AUS F/W are so delayed.
For the record I am already on the Nordic 4.4 months ago because of this constant issue but that's beside the point I would much prefer to have my own carrier version loaded up with the carrier modems etc esp since I want to sell it soon so I want to sell it loaded with the correct stock F/W
Thanks!
