I think the reason they pulled it off yesterday was because it was bricking some phones and they should fix it but im not sure yet

so has anyone that's updated yesterday done today's update?

Yeah, it showed up for me, too. I saw it was bigger and wondered what that could have added in to add 8mbs. It's just code and a few images.

Perhaps a full radio update, I believe people were saying yesterday only some parts of the radio were updating, specifically WIMAX.

i updated
i did the update...im not rooted, never was rooted. and it did not brick my phone. some of the applications changed possition in the "all apps tab" theres a new feature in the menu/settings/audio visual/image out-480/720p. the screen looks smoother overall. particularly in my home screen where the icons are theres a shadow back to the name of each the widgets making it look alot more smooth to the rest of the screen. touch control seems to be alot better when grounding...and will update on battery life since everybody has been saying its alot better aswell. theres also a option to lower the ringtone volume when moving the phone(relies on g-sensor) ill keep playing with it and post more

Fontucky - Good'ol trailer people JK.

does anyone know where the downloaded update zip files are stored?
i canceled the second 21.4MB download earlier, because im already updated and i know thats the "brick update"
i wanna find that unfinished .zip on my phone and delete it?
Anyone know where its stored??

Has anyone applied this update that previously applied yesterday's update?

Anyone? Bueller?

i just manually checked for an update and says no new updates/already updated
so i dont think you can double up on the update unless you have already downloaded it for a second time and just waiting to reinstall/brick your phone.

Samsung Galaxy S trick:Change brightness with a simple swype!!!

Yes it works!
You can change the brightness from the home screen without change any option or install any application.
Press on the notification bar (not open it) and after shows up with the date, just swype left or right to adjust the brightness!!!
Here is my video on youtube to see how it works:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFABj8LvD3g
Welcome to 2010 lol. (sorry!).
I think the correct way to do it is just to hold an area on the notification bar (not swype). left is less bright, right is more bright. (at least on latest fws it works like this).
This has been known since éclair. You must have auto brightness off for it to work though.
Thanks for sharing anyway, original thread has probably been lost in the folds. I'm sure there are plenty of new sgs users on here all the time. It is still one of the best smartphones on the market today, and now it's dirt cheap.

I also had this on my previous gs2, with my new one the update again showed and this time a camera firmware update was available.
P.s there was nothing wrong with the previous one, apart from the guy at p4u sold me there demo phone, which after a week started to grate me, so I took it back and got a new one. Sad I know, but when you pay £499 you want new ;-)
Mine says there's an update everyday but nothing shows and its really annoying.

No never had or seen it, when I first used Samsung Apps it updated the App software but that's it. Now I get this update message everyday then says no data on the screen and when I click on the New tab it just lists apps.
Oh and I never even see the 1 update available message as shown in the screenshot I just get the alert in the notifications area.
I think if you guys go to that Samsung app store, find "accuweather widget" and install it (even though you already have one, that one in the Samsung Market will say "new install", not "update").
Your update prompt will then disappear. I think this is related to a bug in how the Samsung Market links installed apps to updates.
Be warned though that new/updated widget changed a lot. But you can always roll back updates right in Samsung market app.
can anyone confirm what I described is true?

I can confirm this. I also got this update message showing, but when I clicked it, there was no update visible. Anyway, somehow I managed to install the update and it indeed seemed to be Accuweather. Only thing is that it did overwrite the stock widget with another widget. I liked the stock widget more, so I uninstalled Accuweather and the stock widget returned.
Also I looked through the apps and there's a new version of kies air so I installed that.

Cannot update Google Music

The Android Market in my Nexus S is showing there is an update for Google Music (manual update).
But, every time I tried to update, it said "not found".
Rebooted ... same result.
Clear Market cache and data ... same result.
Anyone is having this as well?
I am running 2.3.4, stock, un-rooted and bought the device in UK on release day.
Thanks for any help.
Same here...in the UK, rooted and with Stock 2.3.4 and cannot update the music app although it shows as an update in the Market.
Exact same issue.
I lie, as soon as i wrote this post i tried it again and this time it did the update.
Try now it may work for you too.
Locate the Music manual update in Android Market, long press- and select update.
Thanks, this solved the problem

Just noticed how jerky the scrolling and transitions are compared to before. On my Nexus S i9023 unrooted 2.3.4
But the cool fuzzy backgrounds are nice tho
it worked!
but some how it broke music
now if i click on music it says "application not installed"
yet it's there, and the widget still works, but says "current playlist is empty"
reboot your phone, should fix it

I've noticed the same thing. Album arts don't come up instantly but need a few moments to show every time you scroll the page up and down. Also the lateral scrolling is not perfect, like it was not optimised for this device (Nexus S).
The new app starts two processes and two services that continue to run in the background. The RAM usage has gone from over 10MB to more than 50.

Experienced same with Google Books. Not available in Ireland, can't load the App page, yet keep your finger pressed on the App & you can trigger the update anyway!
This update is for USA market, after I fake the carrier, it allowed me to update I am from Singapore by the way, based on the feedback here, I better keep the original and don't update it since there seem to have some performance issues here

Android Facebook App... Weirdness / Problem?!

Anyone seeing the below weird problem with the facebook app?
I'm running the latest 1.72 version... and after a fresh installation, the news feed screen looks like the image on the left... after I close and restart the app, it looks like the image on the right!

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

So my questions: is this a glitch? is the image on the right the latest version design?
Countless re-installs / clearing data / cache doesn't resolve this issue! Anyone got any ideas?
(Im running Android Revolution HD 5.2.6)
Nope, the app is designed to default to the news screen when it is opened. You have to press back to get to the menu.

Sorry - maybe I didn't explain properly, if you look at the screenshots I posted, the news feed screen changes after a fresh installation to the old design...
Yeah, it's happened to me plenty of times; shows the old design immediately after first logging in, then shows the correct version from then on. I assume it's just because their app's rubbish.
it is just new changes to reflect the "updates" from the website (dunno why they just can't leave it alone)

I wasn't saying that's what happens, I was questioning the guy above who said that because it doesn't make any sense.
You've got the current version, with the photo/status/check in buttons (the image you posted on the right). It just briefly loads the old layout on first login for some reason.

Just got an OTA update - Fingers crossed for Cell Standby Fix

Just received an OTA update to Android. Still shows version 4.0.4 but it looks like it has updated the kernel. Hopefully this is a fix for the cell standby issue. It was only 8.54Mb so it looks promising.
Screenshots here

The transition from apps to the home screen when pressing the home key seems loads smoother and faster so that looks like it is one fix

Just updated mine via Kies - Home button much more responsive
Is the predictive text fixed? Meaning does it still erase everything in "My word list" when you reboot.
is it region specific or global?

I believe its UK (BTU CSC) carrier unbranded, though havent flashed yet.
I haven't noticed anything other than the home button seems more responsive yet. My battery is at 81% which is good going for mid-day but i'll give it a charge and see how the cell standby looks.
Will this break root?
Hi guys, have you noticed that the home button gets more responsive/faster when you disable s-voice. After "double tapping home button to start s-voice" is disabled, it no longer waits for the "second press", and gets to home much faster.
To disable it, start s-voice /menu/settings/

I think it's pretty well know that at least part of the delay is there by design to allow for double press to activate S-Voice.

Yes it did break root for me, only on titanium though. Reinstalled it and busybox and all ok now
