Really?? What country are you in? What build number (settings/ about phone).... where'd you get it? or are you just messin?

yeah I would like to know as Im in the UK with unbranded version and dont have any update

i have the x10i factory unlocked version so i guess it unbranded.
in the usa
and this is not a OTA update you need a computer.

obviously hasn't reached the uk yet then.. tried using SEUS (via PC companion)... nothing new yet..
Can you let us know the build number you have though..
Thanks

build number is R1FA016

Thats already out im from uk and already got it on my phone

Bricks were shat, but then had to be retracted.
I AM DISAPPOINT!

Thought as much. Se blog said it would be in the next 2 weeks, so would have been surprised to see it within 24 hours.

I'm in the US and there are no updates for me yet. I have the X10i unbranded and unlocked. I also have the latest version of SEUS (2.10.5.11). Still rocking R1FA014. I will be extremely sad if I don't see the update for a while.
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.

Generic UK stiil @ R1FA016.

i didnt have thae force close for playnow and it is not available in our country it says.

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.

KE7 canceled in Netherlands

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.

My guess is because the new 2.3.4. ROM is imminent. What's your guess or do you actually know?

I believe music player soft-bouncing the phone and the modem 4G hang-ups are some of the issues?

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.

Look at the bright side.
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.

Update Available for Rogers!

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

No thats some #%@#$.... They never said it won't be available for branded phones, it will maybe not be available... In the Netherlands all branded phones will get the update Hi, Vodafone, KPN, MTV Mobile etc... all big providers... There is a good chance that some branded phones in other countries will also get the update And yes, SE NL confirmed it...

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'm a Rogers client, just plugged my phone in to check this and there's no update available for my x10.
At the Rogers SE Play launch party in Toronto I was told that GB would be available to us by now, although I wasn't supposed to say anything about it outside of that party.

Battery on Note AFTER firmware Upgrade to 2.3.6

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%!

best bet would be to root it and install cwm . You will have to read first before u jump in or else you will have a very expensive paper weight

I can confirm battery life when idle has improved a lot, now I see 1-2% drop every hour with mild use little surfing over wifi.
CPU spy reports longer time in deep sleep state.
there are new battery saving options in the Web browser, but I haven't seen their effects yet.
Very happy with this upgrade!

It was a piece of cake.. I'm in Canada with a German Note... all I did was download Kies, and plugged in the phone in a PC .. Instantly a message popped up and said there was a firmware upgrade. In the last 3 hours on idle, it dropped 1% versus 5 0r 10% prior to the upgrade.

Look at the back of the box your Note came in.
If it says www.samsung.pl it's from Poland
If it says www.samsung.de it's from Germany
If it says www.samsung.uk it's from United Kingdom

Will this update unroot/break root if you're rooted?

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
i may upgrade to 2.3.6 soon

the rare SM-G900M

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.

Thanks for this! Just discovered my phone's software ties to Trinidad and Tobago. They are still stuck on the previous firmware. Wish I knew when the update would be rolling out for all SM-900M's. 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.

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.

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?
