i just updated to the new firmware (KE1 -no root) and i wanted to download Kies Air app from Samsung Apps, but it first updated the Samsung app and then it showed that I have firmware update for the camera

Weird, I've done the same and Samsung Apps has updated but no camera firmware...
Do you have the name of that firmware?

strange, I just installed it on my mate's phone as well, we both got it from phones4u in UK and both had KDD firmware, I upgraded to KE1 but the other phone on KDD still had the update.
I have no idea how to get the firmware number, It was installing it for 4 min exactly and I had to make a reboot. the camera app is still version 1.0
hope this helps

I also just updated my UK SGS2 to the KE1 firmware.
I also got the camera firmware update.
The Samsung Apps also required an update.

So this camera app update doesn't actually bring any new features or functionality? It's simply bug fixes (not that I found any camera bugs personally)

No firmware update for me - Orange UK.

yeah i think it's bug fixes, it might have fixed the pinkish pics some have reported or the "no sound" on video recording issue, but anyway it is really good to see that samsung are working on delivering updates and bug fixes on time

Yeah that's a very good thing the SGS apparently had awful support from samsung, glad to see this has changed for the S2, that was one of my only worries buying this over another HTC.

I get the camera update with KDD.

Your camera firmware update is on your samsung apps in your app draw the update for the camera is in there

Apologies for the stupid question, but how do I tell what camera firmware version I've got?

No update for me
Got mine from expansys uk (KDD)

My Samsung Apps had a update to 2.5.039 but I can't see any Camera updates.

The SGSI support was actually pretty good everywhere outside the US, where carriers, rather than Samsung were the main problem.

Now app no longer installing

Focus rev. 1.3 with official Mango (7720.68).
I did a reset because the market compasses would not work. Before the reset the phone was working fine in the market and had the latest Now app....the one with the column of menus among which was settings. The one where you could select the subjects like latest tweets and such.
Now, after reset, the Now app no longer installs. It says it isn't for my device's software version. Most of the other Samsung apps will install, except for the ones relating to future phones with video calling features and such.

same thing happening to me and I tweeted @samsungsupport and they said they couldn't support a 3rd party app?!??

I found out why the Now app wasn't installing and also why my Focus was having so many market issues and other functional issues. My Focus doesn't have the Mango update meant for it. AT&T hasn't released the update for this round of AT&T devices yet, even though mine is a Rev. 1.3 version. The Mango mine had was meant for it. AT&T recommended restoring to the previous update till the next update round on the 16th or 17th of this month (Oct.) comes out.
But that is strange Samsung said what they told you.

Samsung needs to fix the "Now" app. I now have the official Mango update specifically for my Focus and the "Now" app won't update to the latest one because it says it isn't for my phone. It's funny that the "Now" app is installed on my Focus by default but says in the marketplace that it isn't for my phone.

Same problem to my Focus, official mango. Can't install Samsung "Now".
Edit:
I find an XAP of "Now" somewhere on Google. Successfully installed.
But Microsoft should fix this bug.

What is the version of that XAP? 2.0 or later? Or did you find 1.5 or something like that? Thanks

Info from the Acer Facebook page says we will get the update 17th May. As its so close, may pay to wait and get the real deal just in case the releases floating around are not the final for us

actually Acer ANZ posted last night that it was now available to NZ and Aussie

awesome.... wonder if they've fixed the issues from the first release....
yeh they roll out the ota according to the build version number

Anyone else get it yet?

Nope not yet for me.
*twiddles thumbs aimlessly*

Ok, just got the update notification now downloading 1% done

I just got the notification too.
I'm in Melbourne. it's on 2% only after about half an hour. My guess is that the servers are struggling

Got my upgraded just now. Soo far so good. Just testing out the apps and features. Gmail app is crashing a bit. Keyboard lag is much better

just woke up to find a download ready. Reasonably quick, guess not many people on at this hour If it fixes keyboard lag and nothing else I will be happy.

All installed and no issues so far.
Wifi good.
Bluetooth good.
No screen flicker issues.
App drawer is smooth scrolling in either orientation.
Keyboard lag seems to have gone.
All up, very pleased.

Wots the build no. Can any one tell me pls
I still looking 4 update.zip if anyone has captured it.
many thanks

Mine is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1

Yup, it's downloading for me now as well.
My Build No: Acer_A500_7.014.15_COM_GEN1

Well I've been using my A500 with ICS all day now. Absolutely love it! Feels like a brand new tablet! Factory reset got rid of all the junk I had accumulated, and ICS just feels so much more polished and complete.
No issues at all apart from browser sync (but I'm using chrome beta now anyway so I don't really care)

New Softbank Rom: 369

Totally out of left field: dell released a new rom for softbank.
The changelog does not seem to state much.
Android 2.2.2
Build date: Jul 10, 2012
Build: 29579
Dell Stage 1.6
The rom is completely identical to 366 except for the following files:
<root>\boot.img
<root>\amss.mbn
<root>\dbl.mbn
<root>\dsp1.mbn
<root>\osbl.mbn
<root>\system\build.prop
<root>\system\app\quickoffice.apk
Out of all those, only boot.img seems to have changed more then just being resigned/trivial changes.
Dell normally holds a rom for 1 month to test before releasing, but the normal release date for a rom built in july would be mid/late august.
So for whatever reasons: they held it back for a month.
It also only includes a trivial amount of changes, so it's not much more then going though the motions of a release

I received the update SMS today and came here to check. Figured you would have some additional info on this.
Still Froyo? I guess I'm never getting a phone from Softbank again.

Blame Dell/Qisda's dell team/Softbank
The SPro's still on GB too.
The Lenovo LePad S2005 (ie the "Opus one") got ICS back in April.
I dont even know why they released 369, I cant tell if it even changed anything as far as softbank's changelog is concerned.

maybe the user or the dev is old school type .. and pretty much on comfort zone...

Official roms arnt custom roms, they cant simply release it and hope there's no serious issues. They have to have staff on hand to test for 3 weeks before releasing.
Even if they only changed like a dozen lines of code at best for it.

I currently sport the Dell official 360 rom and I was wondering if it was worth the bother of udating to this one? has anyone given it a go and does it work?
Any pointers would be appreciated! Also interested in whether it requires a complete reset or if it upgrades leaving data/apps in place? :fingers-crossed:

Any time you flash a DELL update.pkg it's going to do a factory reset.
TheManii may put together a zip package for it though

rom: 2.5 gb
are we going to get an official ics as we had before from olleh an official gb ??

2.5gb is 500mb nand + 2gb innerSD.
I dont expect them to ever make official ICS.
Even 2.3.5+ isnt something I'd expect.

Has anyone installed this yet? Does it improve wifi performance and is it ok in the UK? I hate being the first at these things!!

Well I took the plunge and generally I am pleased with the results. Wifi seems much more stable and most things work, although mms does not seem to be working at the moment. Also softbank does not come with a sms app pre-installed, instead they use their own combined messaging app which I have not tried yet. I installed an sms app from the market and it works ok, apart from mms

The MMS issue I was having was me being an idiot - I had run out of credit I have never used Wifi Hotspot. There is an app that comes rolled into this rom which seems to be for tethering but i have not used it. The WiFi in general is excellent and seem way more stable that any other ROM I've used to date (and I've used quite a few). I think it may be easier to look up a 3rd party (barnacle I think) tool to get the tethering working - but I know very little about this.

Regarding the mms.apk can we replace that softbank mms.apk with that of mms.apk from stock 360 rom

I've been using it for a while and generally all is good. It seems better on battery than the 360 rom, the WiFi seems more stable, though I do get the odd issue with it not connecting but far less than any other rom I've used. I do not use tethering and I know that is not present, but there are apps in the market to do this anyway. SuperUser.zip also happily rooted it with no issues. It does seem to be quicker than other Froyo roms too - so overall I'd say it's worth an upgrade. Be aware that the native messaging app will not work on it for some reason, but Handsent or Go SMS are just fine and dandy - unless you run out of credit (see earlier post by me)
If I had to stick to a single rom this would be the one. I am tempted to go for DSC and I've been told by the author that it can be flashed over this rom - so I may report back when 1.6 is rolled out fully and I've installed it to give a comparison.
I hope this helps!

I've looked and haven't found any links for what I'm looking for which is just the amss and dsp1 files to flash in fastboot... anybody got those uploaded anywhere? I hate to flash the entire ROM just to extract those two, but if I have to then I just have to... thanks guys for any help

(PTCRB) (Certified Update) Xperia SP 4.3 12.1.A.1.192

Guys,
New update certified. Looks like it's a bug-fixing update. Well with all the bugs in the current firmware, I think we all could with a new firmware.
Build NO: 12.1.A.1.192
Improvements: Bug-fixes of the current 4.3 Firmware
Date of certification: FEB 26 2014
Here is the link: http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=23022 :laugh::fingers-crossed::good:

There are bugs in the current firmware? Which ones? Haven't found any yet.

I don't use auto-brightness as I've always found the app Lux a lot better than stock solutions.

Maybe the people who havnt had update yet are getting this instead of 12.1.A.0.266? Sony GB seem to be taking their sweet old time with the rollout.

Where did I say that it isn't a bug? It means that I haven't used the feature so I had no idea it was bugged.

Since i don't use autobrightness, the only bug i encountered is the music LED pulse

A certification needs a new thread? I think this just can be at the news about 4.3 - 4.4, we don't know if this will be released, or.... Neither fixing bugs xD
Also, plz, no using a feature is not meaning of 'there's no bugs', there are a lot of bugs reported, and not all ppl get all bugs, that's one of the reason this upgrade is not so,good....

http://goo.gl/GW56iN
NEWS

Well, if they found the bug, they will just have to request new certification for new update again. It's normal when there are a few firmware certification before an update is rolling out.
EDIT: Maybe it's a quick maintenance release before the list of bug is sent. I saw in Voldafone software update that SP is going to receive an 4.3 - > 4.3 Quick Maintenance Release and it's in Test Scheduled.

Hopefully auto brightness will work, frezzes will be eliminated and the operation will be fast, RAM will be optimized....
