Update Leaked 3.1 update

Can someone upload the leaked 3.1 update? I installed the leaked 3.1 update past Saturday but was having random reboots. So I downgrade it to 3.0.1. Now I'm having some "FC" error messages when I rebooted my TF. It cannot even check for updates now without a "FC". I am thinking about installing the leaked 3.1 manually, hopefully it will resolve the FC issue.

do a factory data reset. That should fix your issue.

Indian Galaxy Note upgraded to 2.3.6

The Galaxy note has received the OTA upgrade to Android 2.3.6 XXKL3

Yup it was available days ago via KIES. But today i was able to update it via OTA.
Aside from it being zippier, i see that there is not much lag in S-Memo when using the pen as compared to before updating.

S-memo prevents accidental key press while writing

even i saw that the update was available a week before it came via OTA on Kies. But my problem is that I couldn't connect in the compatible mode (PC studio mode). I tried troubleshooting as well as disabled USB Debugging. Can u tell me what's the problem?

You don't need to connect to PC for this.
From your Note if you have registered for software update you can get the download. If not go to settings> about> on the top you can register and choose wifi or data as your default to update.

My German version (in the US) got 2.3.6 yesterday.

Mine's still on 2.3.5. I manually checked for updates and said there are no updates available.

Android 2.3.6 KL3 Changelog
I updated my Indian Samsung Galaxy Note yesterday via KIES. Simple if you follow the instructions. Entire update process takes about half an hour, variable depending on your internet speed.
Changelog (observed till now)
1. UI is now faster. Animations do not lag as much as earlier.
2. Automatic Music Off Timer in Settigs menu of stock music player
3. Detailed brightness controls in Browser Brightness settings in stock browser
4. Battery - appears to have a better battery life. Can confirm after testing for a few days.

updates are not working for me
I got my Notes (india) last week and root it on very next day, after that i was trying to update from note itself by going in >>>>about > siftware update.
it was downloading a file of 17.3 MB but unbale to update and prompting me for upadte via kies or contact samsung center.
So i install ther stock rom with no root priviliage still its giving me the same error.
Any one have any idea about it.

Anyone having apps incompatible after upgrade? I am unable to use a certain app 'Tap Log' which is now incompatible and the developer says it's nothing he has done.

Why don't you just go ahead and use KIES to update?

I used kies to upgrade, but from the posts here it appears that the same update was also available later OTA. Does this mean, next time there is an update, I should rather wait for the OTA update and not bother to get illustrate update via kies immediately?

Yes OTA usually release sometime later to Kies.
OTA have advantages that it is very fast, n replacing/adding only new/modified files of ROM, thats why it is 17MB only while Kies replaces complete ROM (550MB appr)
- Kies is advisable when you found some bug in your device, b'coz it replaces complete ROM

i will be getting my Note soon and i wana ask:
1] How OTA updates work ? If theres an update and i wana download it will it incurr GPRS/mobile internet charges?
2] Does the new update have a new feature where when you use S-Memo the below capacitive buttons are disabled ?
3] Any improvements on speaker volume ?

1] you get push notification on your mobile (if it is checked in Settings->about phone-> software update->Auto update and Push Messages.) Otherwise u can keep checking it manually (What i m doing right now in the hope of KL7 )
Obviously it incurr data charges that your service provider will charge you as per the plan. Wifi is recommended though.
2]yes, this issue has been resolved in 2.3.6 KL3 update. Back capacitive button is disabled until u take away pen from the display.
3]No, not yet, and m not even expecting it, just wishing for it to be smoother...

UK OTA Update

Hi All,
I've done some searching on this and other forums but have yet to find a satisfactory and up to date answer.
As per the title....is there a UK OTA update?
My tablet is version 3.0.1
Build 1.016.05_com_gen1
Thanks in advance for any info

Hi Al'
I'm in no way an expert and I think the Acer method of naming files causes some confusion however, FWIW.......
I'm in the UK, my A500 had 3.01 when supplied and I received notification of update to 3.1 which I did. I'm currently on 4.01.41-com_gen1.
I'm now rooted and believe I can't rely on OTA updates but there IS a System update notification (7.006.01) which I believe is 3.2 but as this won't permit rooting, I haven't bothered with it.
Have you tried checking manually (I've got Automatic update checking disabled, perhaps you have too?).

Hiya mate,thanks for your reply
Yes auto update is enabled and have manually checked too,a bit frustrated,don't really want to go down the rooting route if I can help it but might have to.
Cheers

Quick update for anyone that's interested
Contacted Acer support who told me how to manually check for update....thanks,worked that one out already,duh!
Next they've said to factory reset then the update will become available.....er no its not happening!
They now say they'll book it in for a look......we'll see,hmmm

No updates here I use the xda updates now.

My A501 came with 3.01 in November and I was offerered the 3.2 OTA update almost as soon as I powered it up and connected to the net for the first time. It has now OTA updated to 3.2 in the UK quite happliy.

My tablet doesn't see the ICS OTA update

Hello,
I'm trying to check for the ICS OTA update for my Iconia A500 but i keep getting the "Your device is up to date" answer since 2 days.
My A500 was never rooted, it is running the official 3.2.1 ROM, and was only updated with all previous official OTA Acer updates. More details here below:
Model Number: A500
Android Version: 3.2.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3+
Build Number: Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1
I've also tried to uninstall and reinstall the "ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement" app from the Google Play store but it does not work either.
Any idea why my table can't see the official ICS OTA updated?
Thanks

Be patient maximum 2 more days , it will update soon.

Did you get the update app in Google play? Search Acer it should be right there. I did that last night and this morning I updated to ics

Yes, as mentioned, I also tried to uninstall and re-install the Acer "ICONIA TAB Update Enhancement" application from Google Play but the OTA update is still not visible

I also do not have a System Update under the system settings option. I am rooted and did have flexreaper ics, but went back to stock 3.2.1 with root and busybox..... but no update option showing. Any way to fix this?

No Joy as well
I have not received the update as of yet. I am sure it will update. I wonder if they have delayed the update due to some of the issues I have been reading about the past day.

no ics yet?
any idea what's up with the 1/8th of us without ICS update?
In vancouver, BC, running latest upgraded iconia a500 1st gen

I am having the same problem. I downgraded back to Honeycomb 3.2.1 and then unrooted using the ROM Manager app... I'm just confused and a little disappointed that this isn't working. I guess I shouldn't have jumped the gun and used the flexreaper rom early :/

i was having the same problem but it was me being lazy and don't want to wifi OTA from 3.01 to ICS. it turned out the 3.2 stock rom i have flashed always get the message of "your device is up to date". so i simply do a full restore of my original system and it OTA without problem. hope this would help out some of you stuck on the "your device is up to date". i noticed my updated stock rom is kept at GEN2 and GEN 2 is for US. so you guys could try to flash with the stock Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2 rom and see if it would solve your problem if you never backed up your original system. Below is the link with all the stock available thanks to vache. i forgot to mention that the stock 3.2 i had flash is GEN1 that gives me the message of "device already up to date". after i wifi OTA from my original stock system 3.01 to ICS, i noticed they all have GEN2 after it.

OK, being fedup of waiting for the OTA update, I did the update manually myself. I've tried first to use the 3.2 GEN2 update then tried to run OTA but it did not worked ("your device is up to date"). So the only solution left was to do the update using the ICS update.zip that was available in the post URL you mentionned. And now my tablet is up and running with ICS.
Thanks a lot to all for your help and especially to chris8599

Tablet freezes frequently

My tab freezes about once a day. It usually happens when I'm using the Flipboard app, but today it happened twice while I was using the Google News app. I restarted after it happened the first time, then it happened again soon after I restarted and went back to Google News.
My tab is up to date with the latest US firmware. It's unrooted, nothing modified. I do use Novalauncher, but I don't know if that's a factor. Is anybody else having this problem? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Oneui 2.5 is buggy. Mine random restarts all the time. I installed Odin and went back to oneui 2.1

Try installing the latest update for OneUI 2.5 and see if that resolves your issues.

I have the September update installed, T720XXU1CTI. Does that include the OneUI update you're talking about? If not, what update do I need and where would I find it?

Try installing the November update via OTA and see if that helps. In the mean time try wiping the cache partition in Recovery Mode.
