OTA system update - Galaxy S III General

I was just resetting my g3 from Sprint and got a message about a system update available. It didn't install because my battery is too low. Did anyone else see this yet.
What does it fix?

Google Wallet for one.

Yes. It fixed Google wallet and a minor security fix.

How many updates are there for Nexus 7 3G out of the box

Can I know how many updates have you gotten out of the box and do you know what each update are?
AW: How many updates are there for Nexus 7 3G out of the box
What a weird question
I got one, from 4.2 to 4.2.1 which fixed the calendar bug..
I think you may get it delivered with 4.2.1 since it's available for a while ^^

Hi,
thanks for the reply. I'm asking this weird question because I've got 2 updates out of the box which I found weird and I did not keep track of the versions before the updates. According to my knowledge there's only the 4.2.1 update to fix the calendar problem. Could it be regional problem? I got mine from Malaysia.

I don't know exactly what was preinstalled on my N7, because I got first OTA update the moment I turned it on, and it got updated to 4.1.2
Then I got OTA 4.2, and later on 4.2.1
So I guess it came with 4.1?
All together 3 updates so far. (I got mine in November, few days after 32GB was released).
I guess you just got one of the older ones, it doesn't really matter how many times it got updated.

Hmmm, maybe it was 2× the 4.2.1 update.. That's what happened to me, got the 4.2.1 notification, updated, it rebooted (with everything normal, so no error message or whatever, it "installed" the update like normal), but was still 4.2 and reloaded the 4.2.1update

issak42 - I got mine last week. Yours is the 3G version too? I always thought 3G version came with 4.2 but I might be wrong.
fushla - Thanks for the info. I think mine was a similar case to yours. After my first "update" I did check and it was 4.2. And I am pretty sure it's already 4.2 prior the first update as I was able to rotate my home screen which, to my knowledge, is a feature of 4.2.

[Q] Bugs found on Note 3

Bugs have been found on the GALAXY NOTE 3 LTE SM-N9005 with firmware of N9005XXUBMI7, anyone have the following 3 issues?
1. Writing in message with S-Pen will not convert the text to words. (Stop working after 30 Sept)
2. Scrapbooker unable to capture the YouTube video link instead it capture an image. (Stop working after Youtube Update)
3. Reading Mode doesn't dim the screen to a warmer (slight orange) tone just like the GALAXY Note 8 after adding the application into the enabled list.
Reading mode: Select which applications will use reading mode. In reading mode, the device will dim the display which helps protect your eyes when reading at night.
Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xA0D25W_5Wc (source from Youtube)
Update: Samsung said that a new software update will be released soon to rectify issue 1 and 2, no news on issue 3.
I thought you found insects in the screen or something.
How you know is confirm there is a new update?? is here any link or something?

I'd also like to know where Samsung has publicized a bug-fix update, if you could post a link.
Also, would an update of this kind still have to be validated by carriers in the US (possibly months of waiting), or would it be direct to the users?
Fixed!

If found two bugs on two devices. I replaced one to find the new one had the same issues!!!
1. Screen brightness changes regardless if the user has ALL the settings turned off. I think it has something to do with the heat of the screen?
2. When recording video in low light conditions and connected to WIFI occasional purple lines will appear horizontally on the screen every now and then
I have now taken my second Note 3 back and refunded all together. I will think about buying another when these are fixed. TBH i can live with the camera issue but the screen brightness problem i cannot ignore!
I have a bug with my Note 3 with the "WatchON" app.
It keeps crashing on load, just black screen then it says "Unfortunately Samsung WatchON has stopped working"
It worked the first time I loaded it when I first got my phone bot not anymore.
Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

ive had 3 .. note 3's. att. None of them had that issue.may want to disable app and clear cache\data under app management
Each phone has used it on 2 tv's and cable box's and a samsung dongle.
I tried and it didn't work.
Maybe I should take it back to the Samsung store and ask them for a fresh new phone instead of this defective crap since I have warranty.

Actually I got it working now, had to uninstall delete and re-install.
This App is complete crap, it doesn't let you exit without forcing it to shut down.

The Watch On app keeps locking my phone up and crashing. Just got the phone today and haven't even tried to open that app. Any suggestions?

I'm on my 2nd note 3 and the first one didn't have this issue. The replacement I got has been having this issue since day 1. The only solution I've found is to turn Watch On off in the application manager. I'm hoping this is just a software bug and not a problem with the phone itself. It's strange how I didn't have this problem with the first note 3 so I'm kinda scratching my head on this one.

Is it possible to uninstall it without rooting

need to bo rooted

That's what I figured. Waiting till my first 14 days are up before I root. Turning the app off is a good enough fix till then.

Turning it off fixed it for me also. You would think all of this bloatware would be well tested before the phones release. I am wondering if the app updated and the new update caused the problem. I am planning on downloading a new IR Remote App anyway. On Verizon

Yeah if you look up the Watch On app on Google Play it shows that it was updated yesterday.

Don't forget about this annoying bug.

Google play search time out

Hi, Just happened today I cannot search in Google play store. It says connection timed out. Restarted, clear cache, but no luck.
My device is stock, not rooted running latest 4.3.
Funny thing is I tried with other device (my galaxy note tablet) also got the same error time out. I'm using the same Google account on both devices.
Is this a Google thing, my account or my devices problem?
Any ideas?

Happening to me on my 2012 stock nonrooted Nexus 7 and my S-Off but stock Verizon HTC ONE on both 4g lte and wifi. Seems to be a problem with google's servers.
OK nevermind guys, it works now. Strange. Yes I think it is a Google server thing.

Security Update notification

I should have made a screen shot but didn't. I was just promted that the security policy was just updated to I think version 16. I don't remember ever receiving an update like this. I am on 4.3 with the second update.
Did anyone ever get this too?

Got the update
First patch worked fine. Second failed. Stock recovery, removed root.
Would disabled apps cause the upgrade to fail?
ok wait a minute....what was the point of the waiting room thread?

Got the Stagefright patch, and it feels so good.
Android 5.1 not 5.1.1
oh I see thanks
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk
Yes, disabled system apps will cause it to fail. Only apps that came with the phone will.
There's no need to open a new thread if there's a related one already.

Downloading the first of the two updates. Will update regarding if it ends up being seemless or if anything strange arises during the process. My handset is about as stock/vanilla as they come since I haven't attempted any of the ridiculous lengths it has traditionally taken to root/unlock this phone.
Update 1: Took an additional restart to get a successfully installed statement for the stagefright/LP prep update. Currently downloading the LP OTAD
Update 2: First startup was a little long but expected since it was a new rom. Everything going well so far. One odd brief issue where Google play services rolled back to a previous release and spammed warning messages but it corrected itself.

Any reason not to upgrade?
I remember people were saying with some of the early versions and non OTA software there being an issue with Wave to Wake
As well as a hit to battery life because of Lollipop not doing a great job of utilizing the X8 CPU.
Wave wake doesn't work. As far as I know, it was a big that was never supposed to work with KitKat.
Battery life seems up to par with KitKat for me.
Lol sorry moto, but its kinda late for you I just switch to Nexus 5 last week
I checked both internal system update and Moto Device Manager... nothing.
I am using DE though, not regular Verizon XT1060.
