Samsung Apps Update - Gingerbread

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but Ive just checked in to Samsung Apps and was asked to update. Seems as though there are going to be Free and Paid Apps. Im on Gingerbread so no idea for others but update is there just click on Samsung Apps.

Mine updated a couple of days ago, running 2.2.1.

Just checked it on Froyo and there is an update indeed

Thing I like is it doesnt display the stupid number over the icon or pop up on the status bar every hour!

I just received the update, but every time i try to open the app it force stop. Im running Android 2.1.

I noticed this too. Everything has "Free" next to it which means they could start having some paid ones. I also noticed that Asphalt5 is missing. Pity, I used that to show off the graphics on my phone.
RoadSMS appeared. Lets you walk and text and see the road ahead with the camera. AndroidGuys samsung app appeared.
Oh, I'm not on gingerbread. fw 2.2.1, darkys 9.3 xwjs5, jve baseband, damiangto kernel.

Yer i noticed Asphalt 5 was missing. Shame cause as you say it shows of the graphics.

I got the update a few days ago. Guys Asphalt 5 isn't missing, just click on bit that says 21 updates available and it will take you to more apps. It's not that intuitive.

Nothing to do with Gingerbread, Froyo 2.2.1 received the same update
It's all here my friend.
looks like Samsung want to create it own "market", similar with HTC direction.

Some of the missing apps (eg. Asphalt) can be found under the 'updated apps' heading.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App

Yea after updating you lose the majority of the apps and no more asphalt , its a shame cuz that really was a pretty deep game, especially considering that it was free. Now after flashing a new rom I can't download it back lol nice...

Mine updated but looks no different than before, my friend on another network updated his and its the new one.
Is the new interface carrier limited?

Are you looking under 'updates' in the 'featured' tab? Snap&Go, Asphalt 5, Social Hub, etc. were there for me, but took me a while to find it lol.

Flash 10.2 update is out!!!

Hello Xoomers! I just noticed an update for Adobe Flash player 10.2! The marketplace states that the update takes advantage of multi-core processors and includes other performance improvements. Checking it out now.

I think it's been out for weeks now

No... that was the beta.
This is 10.2 and flash sites that used to lag before are very smooth now.
you should be able to run anything in flash now i.e. facebook games and other things like that

that was "beta".

I did a clean install after flashing my Xoom last night. I installed Flash 10.2.157.10 then and just now I got a notice that Flash 10.2.157.51 is out.
So its a new update...

a lot of mention of "Android 3" in the update description. I guess they mean Honeycomb 3.0

I just got my Xoom today, Android market report the Flash as 10.2.156.12.
Hopefully this will change soon. Im located in the UK.
The update does show up on my Galaxy Tab running 2.2
Update:
the newer version is now available for the XOOM. but flash in Opera mobile browser don't work any more.

Android 3 = Honeycomb 3.0. What's wrong with calling it Android 3? We call all other phones with Android 2.2 or Android 2.3 etc.. We're on 3 right now lol.

I'm only seeing the beta app for honeycomb. Not anything new.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Definitely a difference. Amazon Prime videos weren't working before and are working now. Some Flash games had updated recently and broken and are working now and with better performance.

Great, I can download 10.2.157 on my thunderbolt, but it doesn't show up on my xoom

well the best features from this update
wont be available until google updates honeycomb apparently.

people whose update isn't showing up..
restart your xoom, then immediately go to the market
then hit my apps and your update should show up in the left

i got the update today,it says the hardware accelerated flash was for 3.1 only, but it runs flash way smoother now then before, also flash doesnt drain the battery as much as it did before

Sweet! Thanks for the heads up OP!

this updated a big improvment if you let your gf play fb games on the xoom
all the popular fb games work perfectly now

Yep. Hate to get all pedantic but it's either Android 3/3.0 OR Honeycomb. The number is a version of Android OS, Honeycomb is just the codename for it.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App

plus our software is listed as 3.0.1
so maybe it was a typo by them saying 3.0.1 lol
if motorola updates the xoom software, i wonder if the google version will even change

I hope someone patches this new version quickly with the hulu fix!

Worth it to upgrade via the update?

My gf just got the firmware update notification on her phone as we woke up. What's in the update and will it wipe the phone?

Well its gingerbread and no it shouldn't wipe the phone

If you GF is setting on the 2.2.1 ROM this will be the Gingerbread ROM. It will not wipe the phone in the least. It will keep everything as is. It'll just update the ROM.

It's 2.3.4 but why is there no Google Talk Video Chat?

was there a link to follow or how did she get the OTA?

The update is for Android 2.3.3 not 2.3.4 so it will not include support for video chat in Gtalk http://androidandme.com/2011/07/car...ch-4g-gingerbread-ota-update-rolling-out-now/

New Firmware update 8.6.5.9-20110816, just received it

Hey guys,
I just received a new firmware update since 3.2
build number
HTJ85B.TW_epad-8.6.5.9-20110816
Its still in the process of updating,
waiting to find out what's changed in the new update
anyone else got the update yet?

Oo, its a bundle update, updates the tablet and the dock.
so far I've noticed a few things,
1.the scroll bar that appears while scrolling has changed,
scrolling using it is a bit faster and smoother than before
2. now even when docked, you can choose whether to use the physical keyboard or not, there's a on/off switch in the keyboard
(to me this is kinda weird, why wouldn''t you use the physical keyboard when docked, haha)
3. scrolling with 2 finger using trackpad improved a little bit, it doesn't confuse it with pinch to zoom as easily as before
unfortunately keyboard lag is still there, I guess its not that easy to fix this
anyway, I'll keep digging and see what I can find out

Thanks for the update! Can you check to see if video processing has improved? What about the weird mouse cursor? Did they fix that?

Where are you located? I still have not received an update :-(

can you be more specific in the video processing speed?
if I remember correctly the 720p youtube problem has been fixed already,
let me know what you want me to check and I'll let you know,
the weird mouse cursor? as far as I am concerned its the same as the last update

Mainly MKV files. But I'm assuming at this point it's a HC or Tegra issue.

Is the nagging compass calibration notification eliminated with this update?

just found out now you can choose to use the new finger style cursor or the old pointer, neat
and I don't know if its new but in setting there's a new graph showing whats using the battery

Hi,
Could you upload the zip file ?

recieved it too, though mouse pointer mode won't allow you to use pinch to zoom, but the directions have reverted back

Any word on ability to root it and compass fix?

I am in China for working but I can receive this OTA when I resume to Taiwan firmware today.

I don't think you can root on a TW firmware as I can never go into recovery mode. Must be the lock bootloader stuff. I got mine back from rma and still on firmware 8.6.5.6 yesterday. Still on OTA.

Has it cured the wifi problem of constant drop-outs?

Seems like Asus are testing the water with updates, doing them region by region and monitoring feedback from users....
It's a shame they don't have a formal beta program, rather than forcing users in certain regions to be beta testers for the wider audience.
I'm sure there are plenty of technical users in forums like this that would be happy to try out beta releases and feedback useful feedback to Asus....
Perhaps do something like HTC does with individual bootloader unlocks, which you get when you sign up to the "Asus Transformer beta program"....

VZW Note 8 System Update

My Verizon Note 8 just received an update as we hit midnight Aug 15th EST.

Did it change the down homescreen swipe to pull the notification shade down? I'm using Nova now but still.

According to someone in the Sprint thread its for Google Maps/Navigation stability and fixes.

That it does. It has to do with navigation and swipe. Nothing big.
Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

It's a really big security patch for one of the largest Android vulnerabilities too. I'm glad it enhances swipe, the samsung keyboard is particularly inaccurate on this phone.

Does NOT patch BlueBorne Vulnerability!!!!
Installed the update this morning. It does NOT eliminate the BlueBorne vulnerability, unless Armis' scanner is broken ...
EDIT: Contacted Armis and received the following in response:
Armis Security said:
We have reviewed this. It appears that Verizon pushed a critical update that addresses BlueBorne. However, in our review they did not change the security patch level of this build to September 1, 2017. The Security Patch Level (SPL) in build NMF26X.N950USQU1AQI5 shows a date of August 1, 2017.
We have updated our device scan and review to account for this, and it will be available on the Google Play store shortly.
Thank you for reaching out us on this issue.

EDIT #2: An updated version of the BlueBorne Scanner from Armis is available on Google Play. I've installed it, but unfortunately it still indicates that VZW devices are vulnerable.
UPDATE: Armis' app has been updated to version 1.04, which correctly identifies VZW Note 8s as having been patched to eliminate the vulnerability.

It changed my 4GLTE icon so that it is constantly highlighted even on Wi-Fi. I don't think that was present before unless I'm mistaken

Just got it yesterday and also turned it onto this this morning. The OTA's on my S7 Active over on AT&T completely and eventually thrashed my phone and was eventually unusable. So I'm waiting.
