New(er) Kies update available

Just got another update. I was on kies 1.5.3.10093-80 so I am not sure yet what this one is.
Edit: kies 1.5.3.10093-81

I'm on 1.5.3.10093-80 and have no update.
Maybe Froyo is actually ready, but it's kies which is holding up the release...

Have you done a manual check for update in the Kies menu (not the widgets at the bottom) ?

it's come up now

next thing samsung should do is fix their horrible kies software... it hasnt been detecting my device at all after the last update. ugh

I have lag fix. Can I update it even my lag fix is still in my phone? Or I should not?

You dont need phone connected if you update Kies.

It's more than likely to be a small fix that fixes the registy key error on the previous version ending in 80.
That stopped kies working properly 64bit win 7

Did it? I never noticed it not working

I tried to update from the website but I can only seem to update via the updater in Kies. Downloading via updater now. Hope it works!
EDIT: It worked. had to do it to make sure there were no new builds of JH2 for bell tech support.

It's another large(ish) update, thousands of files again, hardly a registry fix.
When you click the close cross top right, or 'cancel' to close the firmware update check after it reports nothing new found. "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe" starts gobbling up ram like there is no tomorrow (over 1gb by the time I find it to kill it) and my system becomes basically unusable until I kill the samsung "devicemanager.exe" and "connectionmanager.exe" and wait a few minutes.
This problem only started with 1.5.3.10093-80, and 1.5.3.10093-81 doesn't change it at all. (win7-x64)

I keep getting 'The internet is not connected' message in the update procedure
I'll probably have to stay up all night, clicking retry

I had that once, it made me laugh as its phrasing implied it was something wrong my end though I was browsing the web just fine and spectating a live game with plenty of bandwidth to spare.
clicking retry worked first time for me though.

Yes, not fixed even in 81 and applies also to Win7-x32. Manually add .../FUS registry key solve the problem.

I get checking updates stuck on there all day. almost I left it on overnight and it just keeps saying checking updates. I went here http://au.samsungmobile.com/support/softwaremanuals/software.do?phone_model=GT-I9000&sw_type=SW and it's still only has 1.5.1_1083. Dam blasted aussie site you think we would be so upto date yet I feel like such a backwards country sometimes.

I've been on v10093_31_1, it didn't offer me an update. Uninstalled and manually downloaded v10093_80, installed it, then it was checking for updates for about an hour. Found one, but gave me at least 50 warnings about 'no internet connection' although the internet was working fine all the time, then it finally upgraded.
I have no problems with connecting the phone to Kies on W7 64bit whatsoever.
edit:
never had any problems with 'MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate.exe' either, through update widget in Kies or executed manually.

Yes not sure why Samsung Australia Support is still pushing the older version unless the versions relate to the builds in some way.
Hell we are still running JG4 Firmware as a release well behind the rest of the world.
Have installed 1.5.3.10093_1_1 from the UK site and it was snappy to say the least.
Currently downloading 1.5.3.10093_80 from the UK. Will check the update options after install.

this is another link to the download(it's a release from 6 october):
Kies_1.5.3.10093_80

OTA question

sorry for starting a new thread on this. but i tried reading all OTA threads and still confuse
so the new update is the gingerbread? i thought ginger bread is 2.3 ?
also besides wifi calling and tethering, what else is added after the update?
thank you
again, sorry for my noobness

Gingerbread hasn't been released yet. It was rumored to be release with the nexus "n" from samsung. This update included a new radio for better connection, wifi calling, wifi tethering, and a couple of bugs such as no lock screen noise.

The OTA isn't Gingerbread. It's Froyo.Sprinkles.

thank you for the replies.. its because ive been hearing about gingerbread so i thought that was the update.
thanks!

You could 'try' going to your phones dialpad and entering *#*#2432546#*#* and see if it offers it again, or shows up under about phone - system updates.
If not, then you may want to install it manually. There are plenty of good instructions all over this board and the web on how to do that.

What exactly does putting that in the dial pad do? My update also disappeared and when I click those numbers it says Checkin succeeded. I go to phone and system updates and it says my phone is up to date -_-
I noticed when I check under build number it says 1.19.531.1
Should I just try to do a manual update?

Yeah if the checkin doesn't work then do the manual update.
The checkin basically asks Google servers if there are any updates pending for your phone. But they set lists and if you are not on it at the time it won't offer the update.
I did the manual update and it worked just fine. Was easy and didn't take long. Just make sure not to mess with your phone while it is updating. Some people see the green update screen and pull battery after a few mins.

Kies acting really weard this morning. Bell Canada

Hay all. So, I got up this morning and like I do every morning and plugged my phone into my PC to see if there is any upgrades available yet. Usually everything goes smooth without a hitch. This morning, when I tried, Kies connects to phone no problem, but yet when i check for firmware upgrades, the firmware upgrade window pops up, and is completely blank for 5 or 10 seconds (sometimes more, sometimes its instantaneous ) then a messages comes up saying 'no response from server, check your internet connection and try again". I kept trying and trying, and then FINALLY after an hour or so, it said "this devices version cannot be updated." WTF?!?!
I am running the latest version of Kies 10103.100 and usually it just says there is no updates available at this time or whatever it says..
Any ideas?? Maybe Froyo is being uploaded?!?! Anybody else suddenly have the same problem?
I'm in Canada, and completely 100% stock. JH2 2.1
EDIT: okay, I just tried again, and now I'm back to the Latest version already installed on this device... Crap.. I was hoping it was a good sign that Froyo was on it's way like someone said in another thread that claimed he worked for Bell and the update would be rolled out on the 15TH. Suppose, the day isn't over yet..

yeah i just got the cannot connect to server message as well earlier. I was hoping they are taking down the server so they can roll out the 2.2 but i guess i was wrong. lol oh well, still hoping it'll come later today.

The phone had to be rooted for it to work, and my phone is not rooted. I chose not to until I'm completely satisfied with the unit as I have had it replaced 3 times now due to defects... Thanks for your input tho. After 30 days goes by and all is still working good, and I'm more familiar with the Android OS, I'll be playing...

Fus App shows the same as kies... Nothing for Bell I9000M.

Root is only needed to auto-discover the codes, if not rooted the presets can be used. Just pm me the desired codes and I will add it to the presets.

Home button doesn't wake the Screen some times

hi guys..
Got my new phone at the launching day.. everything runs perfect..
But yesterday and today i encounter a small issue..
please note that i have fingerprint scanner lock on my phone..
when i pressed the home button just to wake the screen, the screen didn't respond.. only the side buttons lid..
the screen remained black after the second press too.. then i pressed the power button once and the screen woke..
the thing was that when i pressed the power button after this incident the home screen game me a third option, apart from emergency calls (left) and alternative password (right), Unlock via Google placed to the middle..
this happened also today twice..
Any suggestions on this ?? did anyone encounter this ??
please note that i didn't use any other locking method except fingerprint scanner and the home button responds fine in any other case.. Thanx..

I randomly get unresponsive touches when trying to open an app in the app drawer folders. Haven't had the home button issue though

I'm having the exact same problem. Very disappointing for a new device. Not sure if I'm going to return it yet. I've tried factory reset and it didn't fix it.
Guy in the shop said he'll have to send it back to Samsung for testing.
I've gone back to using my old phone !!!!!!

im having similar issues while on a call, i cant type in the extension, i touch the number pad and it does nothing. I turn off screen and now it doesnt want to turn back on. Like anything new, there will be a few hiccups, but samsung are usually fast for that first firmware push. I remember for the S4, i got it on launch day and the same day a new firmware was available, the note 3 took about 10 days before that initial firmware that fixed the few most obvious issues. Dont bring it back, just be patient.

Hey man,
Had the same issue with my S5, I think the wait for the fix is easier to handle if you know there are other guys having the same issue rather than having something wrong with your specific device. So imho it'd be great if some other guys would reply just to know it's a common issue.
To me SGS5 is a great phone even with all the rants and reviews against buying it, there will be updates, we just need to be patient.
Thanks for the post!

I can confirm that i have similar issues too.
Sometimes (2-3 a day) the screen is not waking up from sleep state when i press the home or the power button.
The solution is that i need to press the power button to sleep the device and then press again or press the home button to wake up.
Not a big deal but i hope that this issue is not hardware related and a firmware fix will solve it.
Apart from this, it's really a great smartphone.

Hi,
Just a small update, the issue replicates also when using the Samsung S View case, just bought one and I still get the same behaviour as with the home and power button (i.e. only the softkeys light up, the screen doesn't wake up).
I haven't been able to consistently replicate though, but it seems to happen after long sleep periods.
All the best!

Hi !
One question.
Which ROM version do you have ?
The ...ANCE, or ANCF ?

thank you all for your replies.. its good to know that its not my device..
Hopefully with the new update they will fix it..
by the way yesterday i missed a call, do to that problem.. the phone was ringing but the screen was sleeping..
So i decided to chance my ROM, from EUR-Greece to NEE-Norther Countries.. Also did a hard factory reset after that.. Volume up + Power + Home.. Also deleted the cache partition..
I used odin.. No problems found.. and Kies recognizes the phone..
So i will check how this goes and get back to you..

I was just thinking that the G900FXXU1ANCF is maybe a little bit newer, as the build number is higher (1186806) So that's a different rom for sure.

Since this update, I get no cell reception. It's fine when it first boots, then 4g flashes on and nearly instantly it drops to disconnected.
I've tried safe mode, thinking it was that. Nope.
Uninstalled digits. Nope.
Signed in via multi-line settings. Nope.
Watch (Zte ZW10) connected or not makes no difference.
Anyone else? Any ideas short of hard reset?

If it was a simpler process and wasn't risking tripping anything then yeah its good to try but lets not forget this version was never meant to be in the hands of consumers. Be wise stay official till the official OTA comes out! And since were on a new baseband whats to say you can even force the update now?

I was able to get my reception back by clearing the cache partition (!!) and disabling wifi calling (the latter may not have been relevant, in fact -- I can enable it now, though).

Nooooo I updated to this version. Can I still root?
Looks like you can't. I tried it and you get stuck in a bootloop.
