I hope this is not true.
Bye

It's true. And why shouldn't they charge if the hosting costs them money? It's only €2 after all.
However, I hope they don't charge if you've already downloaded a specific firmware and it's cached on your pc. That would be unfair.

As long as flashtool is free we don't have to worry

i think 2€ will not harm anybody

It's just 2€, nothing to be sad about.

"It is just 2€ and don't worry it is small matter"...
Are you kidding me?If my phone bricked several time for testing a new Rom,I need to pay 2 EURO everytime???:banghead: 2 Euro cost me so much money (in my currency,it is cost RM7-8....)

No, you need 0€ (that's about RM0 I think) because FlashTool is totally FREE.

flashtool does NOT have ROMS inside it !!!
especially when you need a specific regional stock rom like Middle eastern :S
and a 1€ = 16 in my currency
and my country would not even let me BUY credit :S

In my opinion the € 1.99 for "wotanserver" are completely justified. I have arranged a "brick".

Unless your a developer, if you're bricking your phone several times you might want to revaluate what you're doing wrong.

Sadly it would appear you get charged every time you flash, even if you have already downloaded the f/w from Wotan.
I've managed to download the ICS and GB FTFs I regular use from that horrid uploaded.to site (it took about an hour for the GB f/w) and will use Flashtool in future.
I don't have a problem with Wotan charging but this should be once per-f/w - if you have a cached copy then it should be free no?

PLEASE HELP !! I bricked my phone and have paid 1.99... And downloaded wotanclient... when i try to connect the phone, wotanclient shuts down ( "wotan client has stopped working").... i have done it once before, it worked then...
Edit: I just flashed new firmware with Flashtool... All good...

Well done for fixing it. You could have tried Right clicking on Wotan Server and running the program as Administrator.

and 4 other country it s said :crying:

Its a file hosting service you are paying for like rapidshare why not download free. Flash free. Live free. 90% of Fw are freely downloaded and there are many torrents from 1 Fw to 100 1 gig to 30gigs.
Why use wotan?
Eg. Omrion tech had something similar for the PSP. Started free. Then 2.00 USD and 2 month later gone. Some times it doesn't pay to make people pay.

Sorry I misunderstood the question, thought I was asked if I searched before posting the thread lol.
When I search on the device only pulls up web results no longer brings up device results.

Yeah, that's what I thought. It's an update to address an lawsuit Apple brought against Samsung for unified search. Google removed on device search results, probably until a better solution is found. Really disappointing. I'm not updating for sure.

Mines downloading now. OTA Rootkeeper engaged. (stock rooted rom prior to update)

Let us know if you're able to keep root.

Updated the title to include that the universal search feature had been removed with OTA.

Surely this is a class-action in the making? People purchase product with a specific feature set, feature is later removed. Now, it might be cheaper than fighting with Apple, or might be enforced by the courts, but it doesn't change the fact that something you paid for has been taken away.

I could have sworn I read that it was only on the Nexus device relating to this.
Samsung's/ATT's getting ahead of the curve here or something?

OK,
Rooted, protected with OTA Rootkeeper, and flashed stock recovery. Got the update installed and OTA Rootkeeper restored root. Happyface.
(doesn't fix standby reporting bug)

anyone that installed notice a difference in the baseband/radio? better/worse reception or data speeds?

I just got off of live chat with tech support. I had a good tech. He copied and pasted the OTA information he had internally.
Went something like this:
"Reason: Google Search Update"
And then the base band, how to tell customers how to perform the update, etc
Its a 10mb file.
So, pretty much it down grades the search function of Google Search.
Awesome...

I just rooted the phone after the OTA, have CWM and SU

10mb to remove a function? Can't just be that can it?

See if there is a brightness toggle on the pull down menu. The I9300 got that in a ota.

Office365

Thought to share this:
Yesterday I received one update to the Microsoft Office 365 on my Galaxy S4.
And this morning I found out that Office 365 on Android as become subscription free for all home users since the update.
[emoji2]That is great news for many users that can't afford the expensive subscription.
I have also read that Microsoft have released Office 365 for ipad.
[emoji37]But they forgot about us, the Android Tablet users.
I decided to try it one more time and I pulled the apk out from my Galaxy S4 and side loaded it on my Samsung Tab 3 8.0 (SM-T310) just as a test, and...
[emoji12] it works like a charm!

The version you uploaded still said that you need to have 365 subscription for the app to work.
However, the current version (15.0.2720.2000, dated March 27, 2014) in Google Play allows signing-up of a FREE account for the app to work.

http://www.androidcentral.com/microsoft-office-goes-completely-free-android-phones
The crevice here is that the above app is 'not compatible' with tablets according to Play, and so you cannot install it directly on a GT3. Install, I needed to install the app on my phone, and that go to /data/app and copy the .apk to my tablet. After that, the app installs and runs well on the Galaxy tab 3.

s6 stagefright!

Hi guys,
I was watching carefully for an update to patch this vulnerability, so I updated my phone to the latest firmware.
Unfortunately, our devices are still vulnerable!
I would understand it if the phone is old and not supported anymore, but come on Samsung, this phone is very new and you're advertising Samsung payment system on it, so the last that I'd expect from you is to patch obvious vulnerability! [emoji15]
I followed some of YouTube guides on how to protect myself.
Please let be know guys if you're concerned or unhappy about the current status.

As much as I hate to admit it, its becoming obvious to me that iPhone is more secure device than android devices, not because of a fault in Google or the android os.

Sp the vulnerability is from MMS connection from what I understand correct? Well then disable it and then your good to go. I am completely not worried by this bug. Its not like they can send you any message and your phone reboots.
Anyways there isnt much to concern your self with. This is an exploit only a handful understand and they are showing it off to collect money from Google and others but not us.

You're right, it affects MMS, but more than that, your device will be infected(if note patched) by simply playing media from any source, all what you need is a video with infected code injected.
So it's a major issue, affecting around a billion device!
Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Is this really a "major issue" just because around a billion devices are potentially exposed? How many known cases of the stagefright vulnerability being exploited are you aware of? Even the researcher who found the vulnerability is unaware of any cases of anyone trying to exploit it.
Don't be a victim of clickbait sensationalism.
BTW, if this is keeping you awake at night, here is something to read while you wait for the sun to rise:
Worried about Stagefright? Here’s what you can do for now | Android Authority

I probably haven't explained the situation, as I assumed that everyone knows the details.
it is not an mms problem, all types if media from different sources are potential carriers, this includes websites and urls
There is no obvious way to tell that you're infected for now, hence no way to tell how many devices are affected!
As u rightly said, not opening mms is a good practice, but don't forget that android auto executes mms so it is ready t for you to view, so this means that your device will executes the malicious code even before you unlock it
This matter is so big for Google to issue patches with in days after the developer revealed the code.
There are some temporary fixes for now.
