Samsung site removed EB13 update

Only drivers can be downloaded from Software tab now. Perhaps a new link is forthcoming with patches, or perhaps 2.3?
Right, who am I kidding....

They pulled the update within 3 days of it's release, I believe.

Sprint site did, I believe. Samsung's was still up as of this morning, gone now.

Now I just hope they release a new update soon...Ever since the froyo update my 3g is slow and wifi and 4g are practically useless, It times out so much

they'll probably be releasing a new update soon.

Check my thread in development for the files

And the waiting game begins again. And as usual we will probably hear nothing specific from Samsung or Sprint about a newer update and a time frame...sigh.

Probably yanked due to that big root exploit that made its way on the market.

Yep, but I and probably others have all the files from the site. See threads or contact us if ya want them.

Yeah, I noticed late last night the files were gone. I'm thinking positive here and believe it signals the imminent release of an improved Froyo.

Not likely, since that exploit would also affect all versions of Eclair. Currently only Gingerbread has a native patche for the exploit.

should i uodate or not?
I got the files straight from the samsung website. I was literally about to update to eb13 but after reading this i am wondering if i should wait or maybe update with the roms that are out there instead? any opinion? also i spoke with a sprint store manager who told me she did the update yesterday for multiple customers using the file downloaded from samsung and there where no issues.

Did my dads over the weekend and he told me yesterday his phone is working better than it ever has.

When I first updated to EB13, it was aweful. I can't get Samsungs drivers to load on my Sony laptop or desktop so no rooting...plus all of the known failures.
I took it in to a Sprint Center and they had soome fixes and did a clean install for me including, the fixes. Now, for the most part, all is good. Still lousy wifi signal and no root,wired tether or wireless tether... except through The Hotspot.
The tech said it was what Samsung had given them to fix the update.

Sprint has now asked us not to do any upgrades with eb13 at all OTW. Just saw this in my email, so not sure of the details.

Update 19 April

btw ATT users rejoice (update 19 April)
http://www.winrumors.com/exclusive-att-windows-phone-7-nodo-update-due-april-19

Wonder what the ATT special Features are... probably another free trial of their useless services.

yeah, it looks like they haven't heard any of us who bypassed them complaining of any problems, so they figure the beta test is complete.

I wonder if AT&T is also going to push the Samsung specific update that has been showing up on other networks.

Wondering same thing. Will we get a notification to update if we used the VPN method to update. (not the chevron)

I wouldn't be surprised if you did. I guess we wait 3 days and see. I like what I've seen of NoDo. Now onto great anticipation of MANGO! (Or most likely an in between update termed Pre-Mango)

Wish our debranded focus also get the firmware update... That's all.
No thanks to the AT&T features...

Can't this «features» contain an updated Audience noise suppression chip driver?

Not worth the wait (and sooo glad I did the VPN hack update)
Apparently the ATT exclusive *features* they are adding is a WISPr protocol that switches you to login into att wifi hotspots automatically when near one. To save you (and them) data bandwidth.
The other feature is to allow you to sync your contacts with your att address book. Even lamer.
So yes ATT made you wait this long for nothing.
Lesson learned. Always rely on the fans and community for support, not the ones you have a contract with.

Agreed. I could care less if I get a notification now or not.

I hope no one here is expecting any kind of miracle with this update. I have seen nodo on other platforms and honestly, other than cut & paste I dont see the difference.

bluetooth driver update?

I had done the unbranding then got the NODO usiong the VPN method. I am on ATT. I just plugged my phon einto Zune and it shows a Samsung update is available. I am updating now. I am guessing it showed my phone was already on NODO then went on to the Samsung.

NS4G OTA

No, the sprint release documents clearly shows an attempt for an update. The questions and speculations are on "when" it will come.

Samsungs track record with "coming soon" has not been promising (moment,epic) but since Google might have some leverage, hopefully it is coming soon.

Samsung has nothing to do with updates on the NS. Go to opensource.Samsung.com and read the documents for the d720. All updates for the NS line come from Google. So please stop the blame game and be patient.

Actually, samsumg/sprint handles the radio and Google does the rest
Radio is hugebpart of update
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

and ironically the Radio is the only thing that BLOWS on this phone. The ONE thing they had to do they screwed up on.

In order to build android you have to have the proprietary binary files for the wimax and cdma radio. the documents above prove that update has been built and they have the "new radio" if they are even going to update it. so i would not blame sprint/samsung for the delay, they did their job. google needs to finish with whatever tweaks they are working on and release the update or at least commit the code so we can compile.

I've seen this photo a lot...exactly where is the from (ie. the original link..)?

I'm not sure why a new thread was needed but this delay could be because of tweaks needed for google wallet as that seems to be the big feature coming to the Nexus S line.

The photo is a screen shot of a sprint corp computer that was sent into android central by one of phil's sources

I'm so close to leaving Sprint. Unlimited is nice but it is useless if I can't actually use data correctly. I love when I have 2 bars of 4g but can't get any network activity and forced to use Sprints awesome upgraded dialup 3g service.

I found this at opensource.samsung.com for the SPH-D720. Not sure if means much and still would be nice if they release come source code that they currently have. Either way no big deal, I enjoy my Nexus S and really dont any issues with it. I would like better radio signal but who wouldn't. You could get a phone much worse off at Verizon, AT&T, or T-MOBILE. So good luck to the people jumping the boat. I expect a influx of people joining up with Sprint before Spring and then it will bog down the network. I hope they have a plan in place to take care of that issue that may happen.
"- Nexus S (I9020) Opened source code -
Beacuse Nexus S is google experience device, source codes are opened by Google.
So, You can find source code for the Nexus S at Android Open Source Project site.

Hi!
Server update is not responding. This morning i've checked several times with no results. It says "unable to connect to check for updates". Maybe is long wayted update to ICS. Who knows? They prep for rolling out

Mine is checking for updates just fine - there are none.
BTW, it's "awaited"

Servers are fine. But maybe you are right but are the Test over? Or have they even started? I think they have to Test first then release

Maybe they don't need any more, since the leaked firm from chinese. Now they know what the problems are, and maybe they fixed whats wrong. Since most of Xoom owners jumped to EOS firm, who's gonna need the official. That was a joke, ofcourse we need the official firm

Would be nice to have an official that the EOS guys can grab from instead of having to do the work that Motorola should of done ages ago...

I think something would have leaked to the blogs by now if there was an imminent update...

"Since most of Xoom owners jumped to EOS...???" Huh? What gives you that idea? Don't mistake the xda clan of users as being the voice of Xoom world wide. I would wager most Xoom users on Xda have not jumped to EOS.

I did change to EOS but for me its not a daily basis rom so yes , we are waiting for the original update so EOS will plast its goodness on it.

yeah they should speed up the update release. It's quite disappointing since I heard about the Prime ICS release which is said to arrive before the Xoom? oO

The Xoom is a Google experience device like all the Nexus phones. Google is the one that controls the updates. Verizon may hold up the process a bit for the 3G/4g versions, but it is essentially a Google controlled device. One has to wonder what is taking so long, but after hearing about the Transformer Prime update woes I don't mind the little extra wait, unless its another 6 month wait like it was to get the LTE upgrade.

Gripe

What is the purpose of owning a nexus device on a cdma network? I am so tired of google and networks in so many ways. I thought the purpose of owning a nexus device was that I would receive update directly from google. I own a nexus 4 g and a motorola zoom lte and have not received an update in over 4 months. I really hope for google sake there is some improvement in the future with updates of nexus devices.

they're pushing out 4.0.4 to source, custom roms will have the fixes, etc added into them soon enough.
if you're on xda, I'd expect that you're running a custom ROM and not stock. if that's not the case, i fail to see why you're on xda asking this, and not on a Sprint forum or Google forum instead voicing your gripe.

I'm stock rooted still on GB. I'm not into roms necessarily only reason I root is for wifi tether and titanium backup. Or maybe removing or freezing apps but it doesn't matter on a nexus device. Bottom line is that GS2 and vivid GSM models have gotten updates before my nexus. All I'm saying is CDMA networks do not push updates for nexus devices as they should and google obviously can't provide updates in a timely manor for these devices either. This is a problem with google plus the cdma networks.

ahh ok,I can respect that. Much more than all the other threads on here complaining about not getting the update, yours is more based on the CDMA networks which is the source of the problem for what you're referring to.
That's why I came here cdma updates can be few and far between at times.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk

There isn't a reason really. With an htc device for example you get aosp like cyanogen plus you get sense if you want it. I had both options on my evo shift. No one really knew the cdma nexus experience didn't really mean **** until recently since this was the first cdma nexus.
The good thing about this is that now i have opened myself up to more options for my next phone like the htc one or gs3 where up until about January i was only ever going to get nexus phones even though they are usually lacking in something like the camera, fm radio, no sd slot or whatever. And it doesn't matter since updates won't cone any faster and the wonderful devs keep us up to date.

the files for the cdma radio are proprietary, google has to wait for the networks to provide them. googles part is done and available. they even came said a few months ago that cdma nexii arent considered developer phones anymore, just for that reason. its the cdma networks that you should let know how you feel.

im on 2.3.7, it aint broke so im in no hurry to fix it. when i get an official update then ill update. i dont see what the big deal is

I am a very happy CDMA Nexus S owner. I've been rocking 4.0.4 on my NS4G since this morning, I'm not sure what people are complaining about. Yes, we all thought that since we have Nexus devices we'd get personal invites from Goog to test out their new OS. Turns out this is not true, stupid us for thinking that. But in the end what's the difference? As soon as the update is in AOSP our awesome devs have it ready for us to crackflash. These complaint threads are getting old, when did XDA turn into Facebook?

Because the purpose of purchasing a nexus is not have to wait for the latest software plus have a pure google experience. If I need to flash software that's been out for 4 months like 4.0.3 this is an obvious fail for the nexus program.

It's more a fail on our part for believing Google's marketing. In the end though, we still have the new OS updates available right away via AOSP. They just don't get pushed to our phones via OTA right away. But this is XDA, who the hell wants to sit around waiting for an OTA??
