I am already on the new touchwiz. btw
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App

Just did the update. It says "Improve stability and bug fixes". Not sure what was fixed. So far so good.
Vesion info:
Android Verion: 3.1
Build number: P7510UEKME

Just updated myself. Does anyone know what was "fixed"

Were either of you two rooted? After I pulled the update, my Tab just stayed on a black screen and wouldn't boot at all.
I'm flashing a backup in CWM right now.

Nothing
Stock here, no updates available for me.

yep, i just got it too, i was on stock touchwiz, asked for update, nothing, then asked again and it was there.

Hhhhmmm..... no updates for me yet.

Fully stock here. Update applied, no issues.

No root for me stock touchwiz. Applied the update and no problems so far.

My wifi 10.1 updated this morning. No changes noticed. Although a few widgets were removed from my desktop. I tweet @GalaxySsupport to ask for a changelog. No response yet.

No update for my UK device - what country have the updates appeared in?

Nothing showing for me either (UK).

I am on StarBurst.8.8.UEKMB with Pershoots 2.6.36.4 kernel from 8/19 (WIFI, VA in US, Rooted, CWM) and can pull down the update. I am not going to install it until I hear it is good for rooted users though.

According to Android Police ...
http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...ilable-for-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-wi-fi/
Samsung just started pushing a small, 3.22MB update to the Wi-Fi Galaxy Tab 10.1, most likely to address bugs that were introduced with TouchWiz UX. It's unclear exactly what the update fixes, only that it "improves stability."
I must warn you, though -- I accepted the download on my rooted Tab 10.1 with ClockworkMod recovery, and after the installation was complete, the screen went black (but remained on) and nothing else happened. After waiting for several minutes, I rebooted, only for the same thing to happen again. I was still able to get into ClockworkMod to flash a recent backup, but it was scary nonetheless. If you're rooted and plan to pull this update, then I encourage you to tread carefully.
To see if the update is available to you, head into Settings > About Tablet > Software Update.

Has anyone else had the same problems?

Seems as if all of these minor bug fixing updates are looking to kill rooted devices.

1.066 OTA update

well i was flat out stunned that i got an update notification on my a500 today..... software 1.066
i cant find any info except for a single thread on the official acer forums in which 2 other people posted today they got this OTA update notice
seeing how the last OTA update borked my (and many others) screen auto-rotate functionality... i am going to hold off on downloading and installing this (i had to send it back to acer Two times to get them to fix this issue - software related.... and seeing how i am out of warranty even if this OTA caused problems ACER will not fix it for you even if it is their software problem like last time was)
i was hoping one of you brave souls had instlaled it and could tell me what it is.... seeing how its only 63mb im not expecting anything major

Honestly, what could Acer possibly have to offer that's better than the custom roms found here? With the latest Cm 10.2, bootloader 8 or 9,and a decent recovery, anything Acer could send OTA would be a downgrade. This thing is more stable than many newer devices with similar software. It's faster and more useful than the ipad I use at work. Who needs Acer?

Would be interesting to see what's in it. Vache put out a pc based update checker. Might be able to snag it to pc then decrypt, unzip, and see what's in it. Could be a prelude to an upcoming version update.

I got the update too and frankly I was very surprised. Of course it didn't install but I saved the file in case somebody is interested in seeing it.

No people know what this update about??
I didn't receive any OTA update notification.
My build number is Acer_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1
Image version is Acer_AV041_A500_RV03RC01_WW_GEN1

The link is posted in the Devs. section.

Will look at it when I return from vacation. In the meatime, there's a decrypt tool in Themes and Apps. Pretty simple. Then you can open it in winzipand see wwhat's there.
My guess is a maintenance update. Acer officially stated last year ics is as far as they go with 50x tab.
Thanks for posting.

Last night I went full stock in order to install the OTA just because I was curious like everybody else .... and honestly I didn't see any changes but the built number. The Android is still 4.0.3 with no noticeable changes. Maybe the updates they made were all under the hood.

When I went read the CM10.2 post, I saw some feature work, some not, with the problem of SOD. I'm still on full stock and didn't see this update, but I'm more interested in getting a very stable build instead of getting the latest version. What do you think the benefit is to get the latest CM10.2? Thanks.

Well, first, you're talking about Android 4.3, which Acer has not released for our device. Most benchmarks I've seen show better performance with the cm 10.2 variants than in 10.1, let alone the stock roms. Besides less bloat, more customization, and custom kernels, upgrading to a 4.3 ROM gets you new features not available in previous versions. As for stability, the first alpha builds of 4.3 I tried were already more stable than some 4.2.2 release candidates I tried.
I've used both of the 4.3 ROMs found in the forum here and they are both good.

I went to check the CM 10.2 post, and saw a lot reports on stability. I use my tab to read some websites, and not a lot others, I have a phone and a laptop for all others. All I want the tab is to turn on instantly when I push the power button so I can read when I want to, late in the night on bed, and even that can't be met. It just SODs.

It's unfortunate you're having trouble. I've been using 4.3 for a while now with no major issues. You can always use 10.1 or even 10.0

Didn't show up for my tab either on stock

[Q] Is not updating a bad thing?

Just curious and need some reassurance from the community. I am rooted, stock running 4.4.2 on build NCG. After rooting, I turned off Samsung and Verizon updating. Should I be updating manually as patches are pushed out? Am I putting myself at risk by not updating?
Appreciate any helpful suggestions or opinions, please no flaming and yes, I used the XDA search feature.
Thanks,
B2

If the newer versions do more good for the phone then you totally should be. I just updated to the newest firmware but waited a little bit incase of any issues. No harm in not updating either, as I still have my tablet on an older version as I'm just too lazy to go through the whole process again.

What would happen?

I am currently rooted with MM on my S7-Edge, SM-G935A and yesterday I got the notification from AT&T that it wanted to update my phone to the newest version of Android, Version 7 (Nougat).
I thought about UN-Rooting my phone and let the OTA finish the process and complete the upgrade. But after looking around there isn't a stable version for Root on Nougat yet for the AT&T Phone, so I think I going to wait.
But my question is if I just let OTA update the phone without Un-Rooting it, what would happen to the phone. Would it just become Un-Rooted and be an Updated Android 7.0? Or would there be problems? I can say for sure that I would not do this as I like having Root Access and I don't think I would like living without Root. But I was just curious what would really happen?
I only have one phone and don't want to mess it up, but there are a lot of people on these forums that experiment with phones all the time.
Anyway, just a question for all of you in the know.

Judging from what happened with a minor update on my at the time rooted s6e, it'll just error out before anything is done due to the engboot not being what it expects.
It checks the hashes of that file and a lot of others before applying the update from what I can tell

Thanks for the reply. That is what I expected. I am not going to try this but like I said just curious. And you answered my question.
Again thanks.

Yup it wouldn't update.

Nougat for US Cellular?

Granted i am running AOSP extended at the moment but i was wondering if anyone running 1607 from USC had received the nougat update yet. I'm thinking of reverting back to stick when it hits.

I never received​ it as of about a week ago, I went ahead and flashed the soak test.
Can I ask you a question as well, does your us cellular IMEI # pass a Sprint BYOD check?

You downloaded and flashed the soak test right? Was it called this Blur_Version.26.21.8.harpia.retail.en.US? Did you flash through stock recovery? And it works on xt1607 right? One last question can you receive the final OTA update after? I've heard people say that you can't. Thanks, a lot of questions I know.

I actually used TWRP, I got the zip file here called NPI26.48-8 (Latin America Nougat Soak Test) https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4-play/development/fxz-harpia-twrp-flashable-fastboots-t3554840.
In TWRP I just did the system,cache,data wipe and then flashed this one zip, working fine on xt1607.
I have not received any ota updates since this, I don't know if any are available.

Yeah I don't think you're going to get OTA's cuz they get flashed in stock recovery. Quick question. I'm assuming since you have TWRP that you've flashed custom ROMs, maybe even kernels too. What I wanna know is are they faster than stock ROM? Cuz I'm on stock and it starts to lag way too much. Ivev had the phone for less than a month.

Granted the phone is a bit underpowered and lesser spec'd but you really shouldn't be experiencing any lag unless you're running something gpu/cpu intensive. I'm running stock/magisk and I have like zero issues with the phone. Granted I'm not on it 24/7 I can squeak out about 3 days on battery if I want.

FWIW - above mirrors my experience nicely. I have done very little tuning to the stock moto ROM as performance and battery life exceed expectations for a $100 USD device. Lag is virtually non-existent unless a resource intensive task is running in the background.
