propably just a new version of the 2.3.6
have you just bought the note?
where is the note from and what android version did u have installed.. kk4? la4?
you are right. i have a LA4 version now
Where do you live?
Ffs, i think I'm at the end of the world ... Still on KK5 and no OTA update for me ):
i am in canada
how do i find out where my phone is coming from? please advice.
after LA4 update. everything seems so much faster.!!! i am very happy with this update
I'm also on KK5 and no update for me.
No OTA update for me. German Note (DBT CSS) and I am on LA4 now (since a few weeks ago). So we're on the same page

I am at the end or the world: Oz!
I have not had any update since the first in late Dec when I got the phone. Still KK5
Seriously!
Yeah now why we have'nt been getting updates since last year(Dec) I don't get it :/
All UK ones are not getting it unless you do it manually! DBT ones are being pampared looks like!
how to check where my phone is coming from?
How is it some people get the update and their Note flies and others get it and it lags? My homescreens move jerkingly across as I move them over.
I'd remove it if I knew how. I hate the new keyboard too. Wish I could get the original kb back somehow.
I could type without ever messing up, now it's like any other touchscreen keyboard and I'm constantly deleting letters I didn't mean to type.
My GT-N7000 just downloaded an update to LA4. I have it on push updates, but it didn't tell me about it - only when I manually asked it to check through the settings (not Kies, but that might have worked too. I think I did this yesterday too, so it's pretty new).
It's the first update I've received since I got my phone mid-December (I've been checking quite often), unfortunately I can't remember for sure what version it was on - it was 2.3.6, I think KJ6 but am not 100% certain. The region is TGY (Hong Kong). The download was 80.63MB.
Things I've noticed:
- Phone/S Memo icons are a bit different (yeah... I'm writing things down in the order I notice them)
- S-Pen calibration seems much better. The Auto-Rotation bug is gone (where if you toggle auto-rotation it would write a good 1cm off).
- Scrolling in some ListViews is much smoother. For example, scrolling in G+ used to be really jerky, it's now smooth.
- When you scroll a list view too far the effect is a bit different
- The screen takes just as long to come on after pressing the power button.
Maybe all of this is old and everyone else has been on LA4 for ages, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Quite simple, the note will recieve a full blown ICS update and the device does not need more updates for the Gingerbread branch, its all ready on the newest api-level.
My own insider contacts have said it will be quite soon after the SGS II ICS update that the Note will get its own.
I would bet that a ICS running version is on display at MWC in barcelona in three weeks.
yeah.. I notice those changes too.. everything run very smooth. very happy with the new update.. and excited for the ics..

Hey guys in my earlier thread some ppl told me that i could update from asian firmware to european firmware. I would like to knw if there would be any problems by doing that, and would like to know ur experiece after flashing.. Thanx for ur replies. I don mind waiting an extra month for asian firmware release if u feel flashing can be problematic, if not i'll b happy to flash.
Ps: I knw a thread like this is available but there are no conclusive answers there. Thanx.
I like to know too. I hope no issue here other than losing the Asian keyboards. I assume one could still get a third party keyboard for say, chinese characters input.
Ya i recieved a reply in hardware zone forum, ppl have upgraded their firmwares from dd or dx to xx, xw (european). No problems were found, infact performance increased a little bit. One of the guys told me not to update cause firmwares released in europe tend to be buggy like beta versions, only final versions are released in asia and other places thats why updates are few. So if i were u i'd wait for firmware to release in my region.. Wat's u take on this? Do u still wanna flash ur phone or do u wanna wait a month extra......
I personally haven't had any issues with the euro fw to speak of. Like doomsdaycs mentioned I definitely experienced performance increase and even more once i installed the modaco rom. I ran the latest JG3 for a few days and it was great then i wanted the modaco rom so I reflashed with JG1 and it's still had no problems. Hope that helps...

That's utter rubbish.
Went from APAC to Euro firmwares, and never looked back.
Let me ask you guys who have gone over to the European firmware a few questions:
1) Has it fixed the 3G/wifi connection problem? (I hope you do not dispute that there is problem )
2) Has the lags/pause gone away? Or just minimized?
3) Has your GPS started to work accurately yet?
4) Does your email still takes ages to load? Or just become less slow?
5) Does the music playing still pause/freeze once in a while?
6) Anyone still able to install stuffs like Chinese keyboards from the Android market place after adopting the Europe firmware?
7) Do you have problem with the market place like what these people say?

Thanks for sharing.
Let me ask you guys who have gone over to the European firmware a few questions:
1) Has it fixed the 3G/wifi connection problem? (I hope you do not dispute that there is problem )
Answer: You need to create a new APN in order to use the 3G network. As for WIFI.. I am able to connect to any WIFI as long as I have the password.
2) Has the lags/pause gone away? Or just minimized?
Answer: Kinda but you will still experience it even with the JG5 firmware.. rumor has it that samsung will release an official fix for this on the end of july but there is no official word from samsung.. all we can do is cross our fingers and hope or best alternative.. use modaco's fix.
3) Has your GPS started to work accurately yet?
Answer: Yup, compared to the stock firmware, it is able to identify my location within a 5 meter radius.
** upgrade to the latest google maps version.
4) Does your email still takes ages to load? Or just become less slow?
Answer: Google.. first time setup.. yes. But now, depending on your location and signal strength.. takes about 8 - 15 seconds.. longer with 2 bars on my phone.. about 30 seconds or so. [GMAIL]
5) Does the music playing still pause/freeze once in a while?
Answer: When I am playing Let's Golf with very low volume then listening to music using the default player at level 6 - 7 volume. I do experience it sometime..
6) Anyone still able to install stuffs like Chinese keyboards from the Android market place after adopting the Europe firmware?
Answer: I am able to install Google Pinyin.. the qwerty keyboard still shows ABC but when you press each letter.. it will show the chinese character equivalent.
7) Do you have problem with the market place like what these people say?

Answer: Weird case, never experienced that issue on my SGS after doing 3 firmware upgrades.
And no, I haven't rooted my phone yet.. hoping to hear from samsung by the month's end to know if they finally release a firmware fix for the memory transfer issue [NAND].

I second that.
The ASIAN version to be honest.. is full of crap from the TELCO's which renders the phone perform slower.. and I'd like to add that, my phone starts and loads faster now without the singtel crap.
Thank you M3keni. I'm glad it looks so positive.

You are welcome bro.
Disclaimer though.. other users may have a different take on my experience with my SGS.. hehehe.
..seriously, samsung should fix the NAND issue with an update firmware soon.
..but we have hardworking developers to go to for MODS.. iLike!
Before you decide and buy the SGS, visit your nearest telco showroom to try and feel the phone. Will help in your decision.
Have a good weekend!
Thanx for the info i'll be flashing madoco rom too.. cheers..
I'm waiting for the Froyo that's supposedly 3 times faster than iPhone 3GS. As it is now, it is a lot slower than even iPhone 3G. The black screen and long pauses is beginning to get to me.
I'm hesitant to root now as I'm uncertain about the hardware aspect of GPS, and my fear that the process might not be fully reversible, hence voiding the warranty potentially.
i have a question that how to upgrade the firmware from Asian to EUR use kies without root??????
i want to change that but have no idea, thx
yes please, even I need to know how to flash my Singtel FW to the eu version like the friends above mentioned. Mainly I want to do this without rooting...!!
And once after upgrading, will it allow me to upgrade to froyo when it is officially released!!! via Kies or OTA.

Can you suggest the fw number of the official euro firmware that you are using now so I can install as well.
No problem at all dude.
Flashed from DDJF3 to XWJG1 (Indian to some European country)... JF3 had major issues... JG1 is good... not great though. Most of the problems of the stock firmware were resolved by Modaco's Custom ROM... try it out!
You guys should give the new firmware JM1 or JM2 a twirl. The difference is night and day...no joke..and that's before root and any modifications.
@netboyhk I initially used this as my starting point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpWcM44On88
Note that in the video he says it HAS to be on a specific com port....ignore that part. It's all relative to how many usb ports u have and how many devices plugged in etc etc. From my experiences it's REALLY hard to brick this phone but your mileage may vary
I think you mean JM1 and JM2 - unless Samsung's moving faster on firmware than I thought...

I can confirm that it IS FULLY REVERSIBLE. You just need to reformat using ODIN while putting an official ROM.
http://www.areamobile.de/news/16376-android-2-2-fuer-galaxy-s-froyo-update-kommt-mitte-september
This german site apparantly has first-hand information that Samsung is planning to roll out the Froyo update mid-September, via Kies of course...
This makes me wonder how close to final the JPC update was...
Also, Kies ist just downloading an update (and taking forever to do it) which might also point at things approaching some kind of big release. I have no idea whether the GPS fixes and Lag fixes will be included in this mid-September release, but I'd guess it's pretty unlikely since the last info from Samsung was that they are "looking into it" implying that they don't really know yet. Maybe we'll at least see some improvement, test runs with Jm6, Jm7 and JPc indicate that GPS performance is being worked on at least.
We'll see what September will give us and then start hoping for October updates...
I'm watching the new version of Kies trickle on to my PC as I type... I was thinking the same... is this a new Kies which won't brick Bell user's phones when they try to upgrade to Froyo!? It seems finding out what's new will take a while though... been downloading this update for about an hour already... and still have 37meg to go! S

I suppose this is in line with the same line of announcements that were stating that a Korean Froyo would be available by end of August...
Mine just finished. So far all it's telling me is that I can't update from JPC...well...that#s not exactly new, but it also isn't mid-September yet...^^
I"m kinda noob @ android stuff , atm I got the Galaxy S rooted with lag fix is kies the only possibility to get the new offical froyo soon? so yes , is there anyway a good tutorial for how to use kies..
Thanks

I definitely think delaying past mid-September is a bad move. Many other high end phones using the official 2.2 builds for about a month or more.
Then again, the announcement on Korean Froyo turned out to give false hope to a guy like me. Someone was saying how Optus would be getting this because he heard from an Optus rep that they were. I stated at that time there are 3 days left in August and Korea hadn't been upgraded now we are entering the weekend and will probably end the weekend waking up on the 6th of Sept without Froyo, so if everything else gets delayed the same amount of time...it doesn't mean great things for the rollout.
That said, I do think the hardware is similar enough that I was originally surprised to hear they might get Froyo as many as two weeks before the next countr(y/ies). Maybe they will condense the rollout timeframe.
My Kies doesn´t find new version. Can anybody post the version number of the new one?
versionnumber is : 1.5.1.10074_45
Maybe a download link?
i have 1.5.1.10074_2 and it's the only one available on samsungmobile pages (at least for UK and my country)
mine isnt showing an update either. im running 1.5.1.10074_2
edit:
nevermind. i turned stuff on and off a few times and now its updating.
edit again:
it started doing a download or something. then after maybe 20 seconds it went away and the program restarted and its back to the old version and doesnt show any updates available. wtf..
Kies_1.5.1.10074_2_6 running
Shows as downloading Kies_1.5.1.10074.45

Nice, I have been waiting for an announcement like this. Can't wait to get 2.2, mainly for the chrome2phone feature and of course Flash.
Anyone receive the new Honeycomb 3.1 update yet OTA? officially?
I'm from South Africa and am unsure if my device can even detect the update (maybe the incremental 3.0.1 update damaged my OTA updates) or if it hasn't beeen released yet.
I also have 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 and am still waiting for the OTA. I've been searching for links all over to the official OTA link, but can't find it anywhere. I'm in the netherlands ( although i'm also a south african : )
Same here, no 3.1 OTA yet ... living in Belgium but bought the Iconia in Holland.

thanks for the reply guys at least I know I'm not alone.
Looks like our version is the EU release so it will definitly get the update.

My manufacture date is April 2011. What's ur manufacture date?
No idea, how can i tell? Doesn't say anything in the menus about manufacture date. I bought it in May, and since they were only around a few weeks, i'm guessing it was also April.
See back of box on barcode sticker. Also states operated countries.
Also April 2011 ... and bottom right it shows AEB NL

i'll have to dig up my box
I have a 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 manually updated from 1.105.01 and still not getting OTA to 3.1.
Offtopic.
Hope you can help me to solve a riddle in my mind my device label in the back of the box has:

Part No. XE.H60PN.004
Countries: PA MX
And had a stock build: Acer_A500_1.105.01_EMEA_GEN3
I'm starting to think that out there are at least two different models of A500 that uses EMEA_GEN3 build, that explains why some of us had the "wifi error" when manually upgraded to 1.141.01.

Yeah I was also considering it but gonna give it a month before I throw in the towel.
Any news folks? I still have mine 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 not updated...
Yeah, I'm also not getting anything, also 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3. I live in South Africa and bought the tablet here.
I'm getting pretty pissed off with Acer. Does anyone know the country update schedule?
There will be an update by the end of this month. That's what Acer Poland claims. For EMEA users of course.
Can't get any more end monthish than now... Still no update here. I start loosing temper especially that my desire z performes better with some webcasts than iconia ...
This is getting very annoying. Some other devices is getting 3.2 already and we still struggling to get 3.1. Only reply Im getting from the guys at Acer is that it takes time to modify and test the new version ..... WTF?!
If I knew this was gonna be the issue, I might rather have gone for something like the ASUS. Anyways .... just ranting a bit
No update as of yet.
I've also got my a500 in MX and updated to 4.010.38_ COM_GEN1 and it works great. Never had any ota before and after.

What firmware were you on before?
try plugging in to kies to see what it says?

If you could remember i was on this Dummy update so i decided to go back to xxkf3 this morning . Immediately after installing through odin i checked for update via OTA and i got this
Nothing here,i run KE7 2.3.3
Has anyone else got it ?
Somehow you have ended up with a test phone i reckon .

You are lucky, on the Sensation forums there was a guy who bought a Sensation and got by accident an eng off, rooted phone whilst the rest of the world was stuck with a locked bootloader.
I guess for devs your phone could be worth more than what you paid for it
Well maybe am lucky. I was wondering really why i get the update before everybody. The last time was xxkh5 which samsung manage to change to a dummy update. But this time i have learnt my leason .
what provider you you have? csc?

Do a system dump of the firmware!!!!

We think that these updates are only meant for Samsung staff and some how your phone got added to the list of test phones -- it explains why you and nobody else gets them.
My guess this happen because you installed a leaked firmware from samfirmware.com. Remember these leaked firmware could be test builds for internal staff use only. May be something happened on this leaked firmware that got your phone added to the list of staff test phones.
Are there any new great and wonderful features you can see in this update? (It could be months and months before they release any updates for the rest of us!)
Tweet from Samfirmware.com: First roms with Android 2.3.5 for Galaxy S II will be online this month.
Robbielicious has got the leaked firmware, but it's not yet ready for release: "in my possesiosn but in my believe not worthy o releasing just yet"
Darky's crew are now working with Samfirmware.com (i9000 version released about an hour ago) so I imagine the i9100 version will be released as soon as it is ready.
The ki1 update
The update is quiet good. The new goodies on the update are something
1. on the top where the 3g is , we have h+ and R . It really helps me a lot because formally when i visit our basement at my working place i normally lost connection. after i have to reboot my phone but in this case no more rebooting. The batterie life is very amaizing. Internet super fast.
Thanks samsung for the great work done.

Wait for it. There are many people in many different parts of the world that haven't received the OTA update as of yet.
If you really want it now, you can get the file and manually update from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878
But remember, once you update to 3.2 you have no root, and as of yet there is no way to root 3.2 on our tablet.
maybe in your area is still on process of putting an update.
I got my 3rd update last night and now, 3.2 (my first update was 3.1 from original 3.01 and I don't know why 8 have to update again to 3.1 and now, the latest over OTA.
I'm here in Algeria and my A500 was bought in Houston last 27th July this year.
If your in the U.S. I don't think its been released yet for us. I know I'll be one of the first batch of people sense I got my tab in April so until then I'll make a thread if there isn't one yet for the states. I know the release by VID number which I'm sure also coincieds to the manufacturing date, and the push process is long, even when they pushed that small. 13 update in June I think, I still see people posting they just got that update in august.

Hello there, Im now at Acer_A500_4.010.42_COM_GEN1 and I dont see a file to make a direct upgrade form here, Im guessing that I can downgrade to a version available to be upgraded to 3.2, can you tell me if this is feasible please?, If so I will look for the procedure in the forums and dont bother you anymore, thank you very much.
I'm in Aus with an A501 - so I'm guessing no news yet on 3.2 for us? 3G dropouts (occasional) are the big thing I'm looking forward to. WiFi dropouts are occasional only. Also I heard rumour that video (720p) playback is improved? I.E less of a need to handbrake everything!

If your in the U.S. I don't think its been released yet for us. I know I'll be one of the first batch of people sense I got my tab in April so until then I'll make a thread if there isn't one yet for the states. I know the release by VID number which I'm sure also coincieds to the manufacturing date, and the push process is long, even when they pushed that small. 13 update in June I think, I still see people posting they just got that update in august.

When did you buy your tab?
Greetings, I am near San Francisco CA. I purchased my A500 about 12 days ago. When I pulled it from the box the first time it did 2 updates. One update to 3.1 and the next update took me to Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2. I was stuck at that for the next 12 days. Every day about 10 times a day I would hit the update button hoping for the OTA to 3.2. It never came. Today I thought I would force update it. Right before I tried the force update to Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1 I hit update one more time thinking I should try it before I did a force update. The update still did not come. I then updated to Acer_A500_4.010.38_COM_GEN1 using the link provided in XDA forum topic '[OTA] Full Package and Update'. The second the update finished I hit the about>update button again and it instantly got the OTA download to 3.2. I now have 3.2 installed. Not sure I would have ever got the update from Acer_A500_4.010.13_COM_GEN2. I think once you update to the .38 you can then update to OTA 3.2 .
That's because .38 Gen 1 is for another region that has been released for. The update for .13 Gen 2 will come soon enough for the U.S. we just got to wait a bit, but they will eventually make a release build for us without having to custom rom update.

Then why do so many people in the USA have .38 when they have never installed anything custom? The a500 I took back to the store for poor build quality was .38 and it was purchased in San Francisco CA. Not sure how letting acer install a stock OTA is considered custom.
Same here, 6 A500 tabs in tha house. 3 have had the update, other 3 didn't receive anything. All 6 are from the same batch.
Acer really ****ed it up this time
I have the wifi only version, and have not received the OTA update. Is it possible that the ones that have updated have the mobile wireless option?
I have a Gen2, no update yet. I am hoping the new update fixes wifi? Or well, makes it faster, I have Comcast 15-20mbps, and get a measly 5mbps when I run a wifi test.

Do a factory reset from the Settings menu and they WILL receive the update. Back up any important data before doing this though as wil will lose it.

Done that already, no update yet
It depends on servers
I asked someone on acer, and they answered me that it depends on the servers, and because it's a worldwide process it can take some time to get in some countries. For example here in Mexico there are some users getting 3.1 upgrades, when in some other countries there have been 3.2 upgrades.
It's kind of weird but that's how this thing works. It's in stages. So be patient, and wait for it.

Hopefully you didn't pay Mexican pricing for one. Electronics are at a massive premium here(I'm stuck here for the time being unfortunately)
Update late Sept or early October in US.
This is from another forum and an email from Acer.
