Man, searched for my cable for like 10 minutes, connected, THERE IS the update available, but Kies says "recharge the phone" and does not let me proceed proceed with the update. It is end of day here on the east coast of the USA, phone is at 20% power. Gonna be one sleepless night for me

They released an update for Kies about two weeks ago. Are you using the latest version? Also, I don't know where you got your phone but some of the Expansys USA phones were from Eastern Europe if that makes a difference.
Because I'm anal, I rebuild my phone from a factory reset when I update it. It was kind of cluttered anyway. Since I've got to go through the whole setup process I'll post any changes to apps and such as I'm slogging through it.
I know this has to have been covered in the past, but I'm struggling to understand it. I know if I update through Kies, I'll lose root. Is there a way to download this kernel and push it through Odin and not lose root? Sorry to rehash this again. Thanks.

Actually how can you tell if it's UK or Eastern Europe? All my instructions came in English and both the device and manual use british english. Anyway just plugged in again and said I had latest which was KE7/KE4

When you plug it in Kies it should tell you what version your phone is in brackets at the end of the firmware version. Mine is (XEU)

The box would have been in Polish and when you turned the phone on it would have been set to Polish too. From what you described, you've got a UK phone. It's odd though, that Keis sees your phone's firmware but doesn't offer an upgrade.

I forgot to boot my mac into bootcamp. Kies for Mac is beta and hence does not offer firmware upgrade, only the PC version does.

I have the polish version also, and Kies has KF2 as the latest firmware. I tried it twice, but I had lots of problems with data and voice connection on Rogers in Canada. I hope the KF3 will fix this problem, when it is available.
Isn't kf2 much recent build than kf3? Wondering what is the advantage of updating to an older build.

Can you let us know the build number you have though..
Thanks

Can you also tell me if this update fixes the playnow force close problem? It's very annoying since I get that message everytime a text comes in.

Come on, be honest. Who got all excited there when they read the topic title lol. Apparently there is another FW update coming in the next 14 days.
Hello all, newbie here.
Plugged my unbranded phone into computer yesterday to charge it and....................................
PC Companion says update available. Did all the bits and pieces and restarted and all the appropriate numbers appear[/I] to be the same?
PC Companion now states I am up to date - ver. 16 - this has not changed.
Hi,
I don't know wether there's a problem with the KE7 update or wether there's a problem at Samsung NL but the KE7 update for dutch devices has been canceled.
http://twitter.com/#!/SamsungMobileNL/status/80985573371813889
This is rather strange because the update is being actively rolled out all around the globe except for NL.
There is a good reason it's been pulled.

Well that's strange because the KE7 update is still being distributed in other countries. If there are problems with it one would expect Samsung to pull the update entirely from all countries.

I don't think it's because of an expected 2.3.4 update. This issue has been living for a few weeks now and only yesterday Samsung NL confirmed it was cancelled. Before that they insisted KE7 could be downloaded through Kies.
I don't think Samsung NL has any say over when firmware updates get released. Either that or there was a huge miscommunication.

It could be a specific network problem, eg last month the vodaphone network made many htc phones reboot all the time or a while ago when an apple update made iphones with certain dutch sims crash
Well... if i could only get KE3 or something in between KE2 and KE7!!
Here in Denmark, we are somehow forgotten - we are still running on KE2 and some of the old updates of the camera...
Also - no NFC-version of SGS2 for our country, as the Nexus 2 has sold badly (because of the LCD-screen installed opposed to the AMOLED, but still full price), and because of NFC is non-existent here (we have our own national travellers-card, which is very close to NFC-technology).
But the GT-i9100 has sold in great numbers, and is almost sold out anywere. So it seems odd to be left in the cold, when it comes to new updates...

No country has NFC. Google has announced they will introduce a new service which will require a special simcard to use. It would be unsensible to put NFC in the device when the standard isn't there yet and your NFC is goign to be useless down the road.
Also running KE2 on my NL imported SGS2.
I checked http://twitter.com/#!/SamsungMobileNL if they gave some more info but no reason is mentioned why they pulled it back.

I'm on the Spanish generic FOP sales code. They were nice enough to give us KE2. You could probably debrand to FOP, still keeping it region-specific but maybe getting slightly quicker updates.

I still prefer something more stable above something with issues , even when some things get upgraded I am sure Samsung knows what it is doing.
Since you have a carrier provided phone you are more or less more screwed than the people who have a carrier free unlocked phone.
Anyway nothing we can do but wait and inform each other , it's good to know there are still people without the updates ^^

Of course there are. Only the UK and India did get official KE7/KE8 updates through KIES. Maybe I forgot one or two countries, but most countries haven't released any official updates after KE2 yet. It seems that everyone feels that they're left out or something but that's clearly not what's happening here.

Lol. Yeah, I wasn't ready to pay 650 euros for the phone I got it on contract, resigning for a year, and 280 euros. Not bad. If I ever want to, I can debrand and get it as fast as you guys ^^ But I'm not interested in doing that at the moment. Not even rooting! My phone is fantastic. I have no issues apart from the wifi sharing / battery life debacle, but not even your KF1 fixes that at the moment! So I'm good for the time being hehe.
I absolutely love this phone. I see near 0 drawbacks (battery life being an exception, but it doesn't bother me TOO much. I get about 24 hours, maybe a little less usage).
Regardless, it's still a very new phone. Hopefully Samsung will being to push out their monthly updates soon. hehe.
Hello, I am currently on build number 2.1.1.A.0.6. I connected my phone to pc companion today and it notified me of a update! Anyone wanna take the plunge and let me know
can't you just backup you current settings on xrecovery and try the update yourself and report here?
it might be the 2.1.1.B update that'll make you go to baseband 6X.
Definitely not the GB update.
fake, i think.
just one day passed after ptcrb check. cant be the new fw available.
besides, se said 2.3 wont bi available for branded prones, generic only.
it may happen after you use the custom kernel
once i freshly flashed the .b.1 firmware
and i used Z`s kernel
the next day my phone come with a message that there`s a software update for me and can only be processed by pcc or us
i was really happy cause i think its the GB
but when i connect my phone with my pc
it says the new firm ware 2.1.b.0.1 can be used ...
its really funny
Phone is bootlooping, I will look for gingerbread on SEUS

Sure it can be a new firmware.
It might be the 2.1.1.A.0.53 firmware.
And all major Swedish carriers (3, Telenor, Telia) also confirmed Gingerbread update for their branded X10's.
So the old statement that Sony Ericsson said about, only generic kits would get the update has been debunked by many carriers around the globe.
have any rogers customers updated to this yet.
Just curious as to what the baseband is
rogers from what ive spoken to them about they wont have any update from 2.1 > 2.3. and it seems they have no plans in doing so. unless they change their minds which they'll have to work too hard to put all their crap in on an "outdated" device to them, which they wont.
I am on Rogers and have an umodded phone running 2.1.1.A.0.6. It says I am running the latest software in both SEUS and the PC Compansion software so I don't seem to be getting this new update you speak of.
ya, with rogers as well... if u speak to one of their service reps or tech support any information they give you regarding an update to Gingerbread I would take as hear-say since they just dont know... you'd need to speak to someone working quite a bit higher up to get a real answer.
I just debranded my x10 yesterday to a generic, running the latest updates, waiting for Gingerbread to come out now so I can update to that.

I've only noticed two things so far, after installing 2.3.6 on my German Galaxy Note via kies:
1) Over all performance is a little zippier, opening app drawer etc..
2) The big difference I've noticed, is that now, when I check battery usage, my Android OS usage is much MUCH less. Before it was continually showing that 86% of my battery was being used by Android OS. But since the update, it now shows 24%!

Mines is strange. I got it from handtec UK, but the box has www.samsung.com on the back and has english wording all over it. But, when I started the phone for the first time, a weird language came up by default, not spanish or french, but another one from Europe I believe. Also, hte box came with 2 manuals: english and an asian language, I believe Thai. What could this mean? What version do I have and why was it another language other than english at first boot?

You probably have the UK version if it's in English. I was just guessing as to what the web address on the box would say for the UK based off the Polish and German versions so it's probably just www.samsung.com. I don't know why it would default to some other language than English if it is the UK version though. I got the Polish version and it came set with English (United Kingdom) by default.

There are also German, Polish and Hong Kong versions out there. So if you think the language you got upon initial setup was European, maybe it was the Polish version. Then again, you have an Asian manual, so it's a little confusing.
I believe there's a way to change the region/country code that the phone identifies itself with, so the updater accepts your phone for the specific update files it is referencing to. It involves dialing a #somethingsomethingYourIMEI* number, and you can probably find it by googling for "region change galaxy note imei".
As usual, should you accept to follow this method, I will disavow any knowledge of your actions.
Happy to hear =D

Hey guys, I know this has been posted before, but I need to know specifically where my phone is from..I have the SM-G900M. I think this model is very rare. I hardly see any posts regarding it. I live in the USA on TMobile. When I do a search, I am finding different countries...Brazil, Argentina, Dominican Republic, Chile, Panama. Colombia, Mexico and Peru. Is there anything in "About phone" that can allow me to pinpoint which country?
I am having issues with the power button not always waking up my device, so I wanted to know if a software update will fix it. My device is telling me that the latest software is G900MUBU1ANCE; however, doing a search online, I am finding another update, G900MUBU1ANE2. I need to know which is the most up to date. Any feedback on this would be great!

Hi man,
This is indeed the Latin American model.
This G900MUBU1ANE2 is the latest update however I have not tested yet.
After I update my other phone Galaxy S3 LTE from JB 4.2.2 to JB 4.3 and get the KNOX as a bonus I am always afraid of updating.

This power button thing is driving me crazy and I know it's software related because it doesn't happen all the time. I don't want to have to send my phone all the way to the Caribbean and back only to hear that they were not able to replicate the issue.

Hi man,
This is indeed the Latin American model.
This G900MUBU1ANE2 is the latest update however I have not tested yet.
After I update my other phone Galaxy S3 LTE from JB 4.2.2 to JB 4.3 and get the KNOX as a bonus I am always afraid of updating.

Have you had any issues with your SM-900M? Any power button issues? or lag issues when waking the device? I am wondering if I should try manually installing. I check for updates everyday and nothing...

Yes, I had.
I have this phone for about one month now and I remember having this issue during the first week, It would take too long for the screen to light up after pressing the power button. I sideloaded Google Now Launcher and the problem went away.
Yesterday I update the firmware for the version above and everything is good so far. I´m using the standard TouchWiz.

That's a bit of a relief. Though, I just tried two other launchers and my power button still would take a time or two before waking the device.
Try updating. Download the firmware from sammobile.

I don't know if it's ready for my device according to their website. What country is your phone from? Only Colombia, Panama, Brazil and Dominican Republic have received the new update.
Mine is from Brazil.

GCI is my service provider and my G900M is made in Vietnam.
planning to travel to US and buy one of the variants of the S5 to use it in Mexico. Do you think the 'A' variant would be a better choice than 'M'? I want to make sure that whatever phone I buy will get the latest and greatest official/OTA Android version or at least there is enough ROM development to support a few years of usage.
BTW, is Samsung providing official OTA for 5.1.1 on this variant?
