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

Sweet, worked for me too!
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.

The op should turn this into a "how-to" thread now

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 Market Fail! LOL

I was checking if there is any update for Apps and than it showed a Updated I thought what app is this I don't have it and when I clicked on it.It showed a Message in a Yellow Bar saying this item is not available.I think this is a Bug.Any one else had this?

Do you know how to remove it?
Try the app called market access or market enabler, it could be that the app is no longer available for your region
Actually, I have the exact same problem for many apps, specifically apps that have both a free version and paid version.
Market Enabler does not solve the problem. I am trying to download Market Access now, but I cannot find it.
I will looking for Market Access after turning on Market Enabler, hope that'll work.

Nope, still didn't work.
Today I tried to download Cordy from Market. Not available for US or any other country. Then it says not compatible for GT 10.1. I ended by downloading from website and sideload to tab. IT WORKS! Do you hear me Google!
I tried looking for that app (Car Repair Manual) and I was unable to find it by name and also by the dev name, it's probably not in the market any more
Some apps will also be made unavailable if you've changed your LCD Density from default. (If you don't know what that is, then you won't have changed it so don't worry about it).

whats this spam I keep getting??

hey guys, any idea where's this coming from? its not my operator is it? or some app thats spamming me? don't recall my SGS2 having these annoying notifications

My Note has this **** too on my first few days of using. Then somehow I followed the info in it and sms a text to a number and i stopped getting it Before I thought it's a virus, I installed 2 kinds of scanning to do full scan but found nothing.
Download an app called airpush detector, it will find what app is doing it and let you delete it, mine was mp3 music downloader

Thanks, oh I have mp3 music downloader app installed too. So only way to remove that airpush ad is to remove my app?
Airpush. yes, I already installed that too. those had a different kinda ad pushing to xapush.com or something. I got rid of those, but these ones with the *star* still pop up!! I cleared the earlier one, and just as I write, they're promoting another "Game of the day"
arrrgggghhh pisses me off
anybody know what I can disable? some apk somewhere I'm guessing, but what?
its not an Android Market ad is it? cos I disabled Goggle's 'interest-based ads' already too!
Anybody ideas from anyone else? Anybody else getting this?

Do you habe GPSFix installed on your phone?
Well it's a Market app that's pushing this **** out, so uninstall one and one app until it stops.
I don't have GPSFIX installed. And I've so many market apps I don't know how I'm supposed to fin the guilty one
i've never seen anything vulgar as that on my phone
Why don't you all just do what is said some posts before and install AirPush Detector from the Market, it will guide you to the app that is causing the spam. Simply remove the app, and you are fine again.
Tunee music pushes adds like this as we'll.... But I've only got them with the gingerbread and up version of said program, which always gives failed downloads on the note for me. The pre gingerbread version works great and doesn't deliver these ads for me. those types of ads are certainly annoyimg...

AirPush Detector is the win! Deleted that offending app. Thanks for the tips!
Ditto to that. Thanks for the tip! After 3 years of android I've still so much to learn!

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.
I've got a UK non branded S3 and rooted last night. No sign of OTA here when check on the phone. Any idea whats going on?

Try Kies
It looks like it fixes memory issues with TouchWiz having to reload after exiting multiple programs
Thanks. I'll have a look for the download version when I get home.

Question remains
Those who have tried it, does it break root or do you still have root?
Yes it did break root for me, only on titanium though. Reinstalled it and busybox and all ok now

Did you get yours OTA or download then flash?
Not showing
I am on Omega 4.1. No update via phone and Kies tell me that my phone is not supported for OTAs. Is it because of the custom ROM? Anyone having a link for this update.

WIFI Calling now available

This morning I received an ota that enables wifi calling. It's about time AT&T gave us this feature. Not sure what else was in the ota but I'm sure they patched the security holes that everyone has been talking about lately. There's no information available yet but as soon as I find it I'll post it. Screenshots show ota software version and wifi calling.

Thanks for letting me know I never would have noticed that since I use a 3rd party launcher I'll have to check it out [emoji41]
Edit: The app drawer is still not available on mine but that's ok I never use the stock launcher anyway

AT&T cloud backup for SMS/MMS with default messaging app. It was syncing all day on my BFs G5 until I turned it off after work. He said it kept killing his battery. (I'd hate to see what the data is on his line too thankfully he was home on Wifi the majority of the day) It completely borked MMS on my S7 edge when AT&T pushed the update, had to install Google messenger to get a picture to come through or be received. It probably failed 70-80% of the time. May want to keep an eye on that if you use the default messaging app.

Has anyone figured out if you can disable this entirely unnecessary and incredibly annoying persistent notification about "mobile data not enabled" now? I didn't want to update and now I'm forced to deal with this ****. No.
