I just got a notification that 4.0.2.A.0.42 is available?

Is this Ice Cream Sandwich? Already?? And will updating remove PSXperia?
Cheers!

No, this is 2.3.4. This will break PSXperia

I got it too,
It says I can only use PC Companion to update, how can I get it to do OTA update?

Also got this, and despite the description saying I can get it OTA or using PC Companion, directly below it says "You can only use a computer to update your phone."
Using PC Companion will make me lose root, won't it?

Ya it will, but maybe, just maybe, this root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859 will work?

Didn't happened to me, Every thing went fine with me.

I have this notification, but I'm already on this version. Why is it telling me to update to the version I'm already on and how can I remove it.

Not a problem, root is still applicable on this version of Android... What I'm curious about is why it wasn't available as an OTA update, and only made as an update through a PC. Anyone know why?

I updated my Play last night in the pub, OTA. Vodafone UK.
One minor addition, which for a lot of people is a major addition, is the new option for turning the display Automatic Brightness on and off.. about time! I was quite surprised how bright the screen can actually go.
I'd like to see the Brightness Level app from Curvefish I have on my home screen updated to include the switch. I read Kindle books in the dark before I go to sleep and the 0 level is way too bright until you turn Automatic Brightness back on. I'll probably contact the dev.

[Q] Nexus 7 - Rooted - And 4.2 OTG cable unplug restart issue

Hello Peeps, I am new to the tablet market but with the power these beasts throw out now its worth getting it.... and like any self respecting techy tear the thing apart!
Okay the issue: I have a Nexus 7 rooted but only after I downloaded Jelly bean 4.2, I used the Wugfresh nexus 7 roottoolkit. I have flashed the Kernel to the Trinity version so I can overclock and all that (although overclocking does not do much while playing ROMS on FPse??) So the main issue is when I plug the OTG cable into my Nesxus it works ETC I can use usb stick and my PS3 controller BUT as soon as I unplug the cable my Nexus restarts. Plugging and unplugging into normal charger works but the OTG cable just restarts the unit even if I do not plug anything into it. Does anybody have any idea what could cause this? The only thing I can think is the OTG cable is faulty and sends a voltage error restarting the unit?
Thank you in advance and I love the site!

I'm seeing the same thing on all 4.2 ROMS. I also caught a news story this morning about the Nexus 4 having the same issue. I think we may have to back down to 4.1.x until the issue is confirmed corrected. Also we'll probably have to be mindful of the build numbers going forward to know which ones have it and which ones don't unless someone can come up with a zip patch.
Sorry bud

I used the old bullet proof method with doing adb myself and do not have any problem with OTG.

wonder when well see some updated roms

it can take up to 3 weeks to get an update once google starts. within 3 weeks is what google promises.

Newest nexus device = last device to get the update it needs and has needed since it's botched release. Gj googs

Guess it's time to turn back on the webpage update add on for the factory image pages. I mostly just want to try a new modem.

Yeah I really don't have to many issues either I was just being snide. I do think it burns too much battery while sitting idle with screen off though. I shouldn't be losing 5 to 10 percent battery overnight. Mind you my overnights are 6 to 7 hours usually.

Main issue I want fixed is the sound issues then all will be fine for me.

Everyone calm down, it's not in aosp yet

and all i want is just a stock deodex rom =/

so what is new besides the HD voice and device protection ?

Finally, someone with common sense (and you beat me to it).
ROM's won't appear until it's in AOSP and Dev's re-compile.
for those devices it goes out to, we might see the OTA available if someone captures and upload it to their favorite BB
And then this could lend credence to VZ's hitting stores with 5.1 a week from Thursday (But I still think those would be a 5.0 variant with a open and update to 5.1 myself ...)

shamu takes more time for some reason, its usually later than the rest

It is being pushed to aosp now: https://android.googlesource.com/device/moto/shamu/+/lollipop-mr1-release

The system images are live for the nexus 4&5. But not the nexus 6 as per usual.
Why is the 6 slower to update? Is it done chronologically?

5.1 Could Begin Today

Any comments on the update?

Anyone know if this OJ1 update is compatible with OH7 root method (coming from OG2 5.0.2)?
TIA
---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------
^^^ Hmmm.... It's still just an update to stay within 5.0.2 where I am. To OJ4.

Mine is 223.99 MB

Didn't take a screenshot but mine was 1.2 GB?!
I don't know if that was because Smart Switch included the backed-up data I'd just processed?
---------- Post added at 10:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------
I guess that's it till sometime next year then...

Nope, still stuck on 5.0.2 here

I usually play Sims Free Play. I noticed that the UI has become tiny after the update. It's very difficult to play this game after this last update. The game doesn't have any option to increase UI's font. Also, increasing font size on tab s2 display settings does not have any effect on the game ui size.

I was on OH7 unrooted and took the 0J1 update and then used the CF autoroot OH7 method to root. Works fine.

Very bad update.
I've got mine 5 days ago, 240 smth MB's.
T-715 started to freeze if it is ON+connected to charger. Only way to restart or turn it of is to keep pressed PWR+Vol DOWN buttons
Also it is overheating without any reason, and it is restarting randomly at least 1-2 times/day.
It is not rooted, all software is legal/bought via Google Play.
Only way to charge device is to turn it off and than connect it to charger.
Battery life because of overheating - 80+C is reduced to less than 1 day.
Build num: LRX22G.T715XXU1AOI5
Kernel: 3.10.9-5795450
Android: 5.0.2

It looks like you're on the older build which this build fixes (overheating etc.) Suggest you keep checking manually for updates.

Just got my second update for the S2 T715 4G version, the latest one is 140MB.
update: apparently it's still android 5.0.2.

I just got my S2 (T-917T from T-mobile with 5.1.1 AOG8) yesterday and not long after I got home an update popped up. I held off at the time in case it complicated gaining root, but after doing so today I just got the notification again. The build is AOJ3 and... it looks potentially sketchy. Attached is a shot of the update screen, the second point is worrisome (?) "After updating you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy." Weak... I've never downgraded firmware, but there are occasionally legit reasons to do so.
Is anyone running this build? Any problems?

Its normal, since samsung installed knox on their phones and tab, downgrade is not possible, through the normal way, or procedures.

Just seems a bit... hypocritical on Samsung and/or the carrier's parts. It's atypical, but sometimes a new build is just a total dud. But it's not unheard of for an "upgrade" to cause things like increased battery usage, excess heat, performance issues, app compatibility, sporadic boot loops. "New" security policy: no flashing back to the build that you were enjoying 2 weeks ago. A new build that addresses these issues will be out "soon".
I'm just really curious about the rational of insisting that you remain on a build that makes you hate your $$$ phone and also what the other mentioned "security policy" changes are baked into the new build because if they further (attempt to) restrict how I'm allowed to use the device that I own... I don't particularly care for that! Also, who knows how long one'll be stranded on a crappy build. It seems that Samsung should be spending their time ensuring that, at least, all of their flagship devices are receiving regular/timely updates rather than adding new policies that are particularly disadvantageous for power users who tend to buy those devices.

Its NOT normal. It has always been possible to downgrade regardless of KNOX with an unlocked bootloader.
So called security updates that state that you will not be able to downgrade are bad, and usually mean one thing a bootloader update. Bootloader updates like this often lead to locked bootloaders, its happened before on Samsung devices. Locked bootloader means, no root, no custom recovery and no roms.
I'd stay away from this update until more is known about it. It may be possible to update without the bootloader.

Will there be Oreo Rom for the Tab 2 in the future?

I know it may not be possible due to the restrictions of the hardware inside the Samsung Tab 2. Anyways could there ever be an Oreo Rom for the Tab 2 in the future? I happen to stumble across an online site that had the tab 2 was eligible for an oreo rom. Thanks for any advice or replies!
