I hope this is not true.
Bye

It's true. And why shouldn't they charge if the hosting costs them money? It's only €2 after all.
However, I hope they don't charge if you've already downloaded a specific firmware and it's cached on your pc. That would be unfair.

As long as flashtool is free we don't have to worry

i think 2€ will not harm anybody

It's just 2€, nothing to be sad about.

"It is just 2€ and don't worry it is small matter"...
Are you kidding me?If my phone bricked several time for testing a new Rom,I need to pay 2 EURO everytime???:banghead: 2 Euro cost me so much money (in my currency,it is cost RM7-8....)

No, you need 0€ (that's about RM0 I think) because FlashTool is totally FREE.

flashtool does NOT have ROMS inside it !!!
especially when you need a specific regional stock rom like Middle eastern :S
and a 1€ = 16 in my currency
and my country would not even let me BUY credit :S

In my opinion the € 1.99 for "wotanserver" are completely justified. I have arranged a "brick".

Unless your a developer, if you're bricking your phone several times you might want to revaluate what you're doing wrong.

Sadly it would appear you get charged every time you flash, even if you have already downloaded the f/w from Wotan.
I've managed to download the ICS and GB FTFs I regular use from that horrid uploaded.to site (it took about an hour for the GB f/w) and will use Flashtool in future.
I don't have a problem with Wotan charging but this should be once per-f/w - if you have a cached copy then it should be free no?

PLEASE HELP !! I bricked my phone and have paid 1.99... And downloaded wotanclient... when i try to connect the phone, wotanclient shuts down ( "wotan client has stopped working").... i have done it once before, it worked then...
Edit: I just flashed new firmware with Flashtool... All good...

Well done for fixing it. You could have tried Right clicking on Wotan Server and running the program as Administrator.

and 4 other country it s said :crying:

Its a file hosting service you are paying for like rapidshare why not download free. Flash free. Live free. 90% of Fw are freely downloaded and there are many torrents from 1 Fw to 100 1 gig to 30gigs.
Why use wotan?
Eg. Omrion tech had something similar for the PSP. Started free. Then 2.00 USD and 2 month later gone. Some times it doesn't pay to make people pay.

On your phone, when you search do you get results from the web and your device, or only from your device?

I installed and I only get Web results now.

Sorry I misunderstood the question, thought I was asked if I searched before posting the thread lol.
When I search on the device only pulls up web results no longer brings up device results.

Yeah, that's what I thought. It's an update to address an lawsuit Apple brought against Samsung for unified search. Google removed on device search results, probably until a better solution is found. Really disappointing. I'm not updating for sure.

Mines downloading now. OTA Rootkeeper engaged. (stock rooted rom prior to update)

Let us know if you're able to keep root.

Updated the title to include that the universal search feature had been removed with OTA.

Surely this is a class-action in the making? People purchase product with a specific feature set, feature is later removed. Now, it might be cheaper than fighting with Apple, or might be enforced by the courts, but it doesn't change the fact that something you paid for has been taken away.

I could have sworn I read that it was only on the Nexus device relating to this.
Samsung's/ATT's getting ahead of the curve here or something?

OK,
Rooted, protected with OTA Rootkeeper, and flashed stock recovery. Got the update installed and OTA Rootkeeper restored root. Happyface.
(doesn't fix standby reporting bug)

anyone that installed notice a difference in the baseband/radio? better/worse reception or data speeds?

I just got off of live chat with tech support. I had a good tech. He copied and pasted the OTA information he had internally.
Went something like this:
"Reason: Google Search Update"
And then the base band, how to tell customers how to perform the update, etc
Its a 10mb file.
So, pretty much it down grades the search function of Google Search.
Awesome...

I just rooted the phone after the OTA, have CWM and SU

10mb to remove a function? Can't just be that can it?

See if there is a brightness toggle on the pull down menu. The I9300 got that in a ota.

How to remove google play balance

When I bought Nexus 7 I followed this trick http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792592 to obtain 25$ free credit.
But now I have all prices in dollars and I want to remove my Google play balance, but when I try to go to wallet.google.com I have no way to remove google balance like other credit card, because there isn't the REMOVE button.
I can't change also my country and address if I don't delete my google balance.
Do you know if it's possible to delete it?

Having the exact same problem and it's driving me crazy. I just immigrated to Canada and my bank apps are country restricted, this is a huge pain. I have 28p which is difficult to spend...

I guess nobody found a solution to this? I have 22p left in my account but want to change it to US to sign up for all access...

Can you not buy a paid app (say .99) and use the play store balance and pay the difference?
Not sure if this will help or is possible, but thought I'd see if it could be useful.

I also had a N7 and did the US trick to get 25 dollars, but now I won 5 euros from kitkat and google doesnt give em to me. I have 75 cents left in my account, what can I do? Can't google support help us in any way? Because this is plain stupid..

This is kind of ridiculous... People need to be able to change their country if they move and what not. It is October 1st, yet the remaining .75 cent balance is still in my account! Sigh...

Anybody know if theres a way to delete/re-add or reset google wallet?? And if that would remove the balance??

Just want to confirm I've basically got the same problem. I moved to the US but can't change my address because I have $0.07 CAD in my google play balance.
This is actually outrageous.
I hope someone finds a solution, I've been trying for two months now.

Did somebody find a solution for this weird issue?

I'm with the same problem... I have .83 Pence (UK) on my google wallet, I now moved to USA, and I purchased a $25 google play card. It won't let me redeem the card. I contacted google, but they will not help, they said I need to create a new google wallet account.
This is ridiculous

I believe one can contact the Wallet help online, or by phone, ask them to close the wallet account and then rejoin. All transaction history will be wiped out and no balance will appear. you will start from scratch again.

It does work, I signed up, got my £22, immediately cancelled the subscription and bought Life of Pi and Zero Dark Thirty with it. The only downsides are that you have to play the movies through the Video unlimited app, and there are no HD movies currently available for the Xperia. Other than that it's a good offer.

Office365

Thought to share this:
Yesterday I received one update to the Microsoft Office 365 on my Galaxy S4.
And this morning I found out that Office 365 on Android as become subscription free for all home users since the update.
[emoji2]That is great news for many users that can't afford the expensive subscription.
I have also read that Microsoft have released Office 365 for ipad.
[emoji37]But they forgot about us, the Android Tablet users.
I decided to try it one more time and I pulled the apk out from my Galaxy S4 and side loaded it on my Samsung Tab 3 8.0 (SM-T310) just as a test, and...
[emoji12] it works like a charm!

The version you uploaded still said that you need to have 365 subscription for the app to work.
However, the current version (15.0.2720.2000, dated March 27, 2014) in Google Play allows signing-up of a FREE account for the app to work.

http://www.androidcentral.com/microsoft-office-goes-completely-free-android-phones
The crevice here is that the above app is 'not compatible' with tablets according to Play, and so you cannot install it directly on a GT3. Install, I needed to install the app on my phone, and that go to /data/app and copy the .apk to my tablet. After that, the app installs and runs well on the Galaxy tab 3.
