Apps update notifications and OTA problems - Galaxy S III General

Hy everybody, I need all the possible help here. I got a huge problem with my s3. Since a bought it I've never received an OTA update even though I should have received 3 of them (2 ics 4.0.4 and a 4.1.1). Always updated via kies or at least Odin. Why? Never rooted my phone, everything has always been stock. What's the problem? Second problem(the worst for me) is "app update notification". Same thing here, a never receive notifications in case of an update even if settings are set to notify me and automatically update but nothing. The only way to update my apps is to go inside the store and check my apps. Only if I reboot the S3 sometimes I receive a notification. I've tried tons of hard reset or deep cleans but never solved the problems. Is there out there a genius who can help cause I'm going crazy about these two thinks here. Please help me. What's the problem? How can I solve it? Thanks in advance.

I understand what you mean. But try to do a Factory reset from the Phone itself under Setting-Backup/Data and then Wipe Data/Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Once you have done so. Re-flash your real Firmware through ODIN and make sure your device status is not Modified.
If the above does not work then Go into Emergency Firmware Recovery from Kies, type in the details and it will restore it to factory settings from Manufacturer then update it via kies or OTA.

Bumping is against the rules ..
OTA you may have no OTA or the vendor is not pushing updates OTA .
Like i have FOTA and Kies removed on my phone as standard as i use XDA firmware .
Your best bet would be to check the vendors forums re the OTA update disabled and check a Samsung forum for Kies updates .

Helping re-installing original firmware

hi men, i followed the root guide till step 2 to upgrade my x10i to the 023. after 2 days i did SE released the original one, so it would be upgraded from 014 to 023 and without market problems. i tried restoring the original firmware doing backup but the "blob_fs" procedure isn't possible anymore since SEUS files have changed after update....so i'm in trouble!!
anyone can help me with this??
ty all for help
Have you tried Sony Ericsson PC Companion to repair the phone?
not yet, i didn't know... it's the software that the phone installs automatically when is plugged to the pc??
anyway i don't know if i was clear in quering, i wish install the ORGINAL FACTORY RELEASE of my firmware, like when i bought it, and it was 014, later with step 1-2 of rooting guide it should be a generic firmware, i can't be more clearer than this...
ty bro
Sorry for steeling your thread, but i got a problem like yours. I do also wanna go back to the stock firmware, but when i try to repair it in pc companion, it just keeps reinstalling the R2BA020 SW. What am i doing wrong? When i install the R2BA020, i do the last part of the installation with help from SEUS, so would it help if i uninstall SEUS? Or any other solutions?
I think 023 is not released in your region ..

[NEWS] Gingerbread update announced for Galaxy series including Tab

http://www.samsunghub.com/2011/05/16/samsung-announces-android-2-3-update-for-its-galaxy-devices/
Guess it's on its way. I'm wondering how the update will roll out to Wifi only versions or the tablets that aren't currently using a carrier.
Today i got a message thru Kies that i could update my firmware to gingerbread (although the message gave a series of numbers and letters). I tried to update my Tab, but after downloading, the installation of the new firmware failed. Could that be because i have my Tab rooted? How do I solve this problem. Your help will be much appriciated.

Agreed. Let us know if you have any more issues.
Thanks for your quick help. I will do a hard reset as i have stock rom witch i have rooted in order to make backups, use droidwall and Samba. Titanium backup can prove its use now :-D
Hope the upgrade will work, thanks anyway.

Hopefully, Samsung will push it over WiFi... If not, the good people of XDA will inevitably provide a ROM on here. You will either get it in a timely manner or have to hold your balls and ROM it (if you haven't done it before). Even if you have, it can sometimes be a scary procedure.
Short answer... Yes. Long answer... Above.
hmm any word on how far the update is? is it still only italy that got it?
Dont really wanna use odin to update our 120 Galaxy tabs (or the 300 that we are getting in ~1 month time).

I use sipgate with the sipdroid app to push calls over VOIP. Works well enough for me. Can send and receive calls. I am only on WiFi so I imagine, it'd work that much better over the 3G network.
As far as a possible release date? No idea... Their words are that they'll start mid-May through Kies in Europe and it'll feather out. Since Sprint versions don't work with Kies, it may up to Sprint to push the updates here (which may take a long while) or if Samsung is really aggressive, maybe we'll see it through them.
Since Kies is the main avenue of pushing it, I wouldn't anticipate it soon. May be worth following the Honeycomb ROM (DONATE TO THIS CAUSE) and taking the time to flash it. Then brag that you have cheap Honeycomb Galaxy Tabs for sale in your store.

I'm also curious about this, but perhaps it would be better in a new thread for people to post their country and a confirmation once it's available over Kies.

[Q] Can't seem to get the update.. any reason why?

I'm currently on I337UCUAMDB.. trying to get the update first then root after. For some reason, every time I try to access software update, I get this message.
"Software Update Interrupted. No update is available for your device at this time. Please try again in 24 hours."
Any ideas? I've tried on a friend's phone and he also gets the same message. AT&T carrier.
U will have to go back to stock ROM through Odin..I had the same message had to deroot and return my phone to stock then up date through Kies ...hope that helps...

its stock.. i literally just took it out of the box. same with my friend, he got his yesterday.. and we both keep getting this error.. we've tried to push the date forward to try the update again, and each time, it is the same error message.
So my buddy pushed the date forward again, tried the update again, and this time it said "Software is up to date."
i am lost now.
Someone else posted that they had to have ATT push the update to them. I'm wondering if ATT is already pulling that update and preparing a patched one.

Verizon LG G2 System Update Available

Hi everyone,
I got a popup window notifying me about a system update that was ready to install on my Verizon LG G2. I chose not to install it, but it said I can install it later. I am rooted and I am not sure what this update is for, possibly a fix for the root exploits. Anyone else seeing this?
EDIT: Everyone is confirming that it does not break root, but if you have already installed TWRP then DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE.

Please confirm that you did the system update and can still use root apps. Also, which root method did you use. Maybe they patched the Chinese method, but not the newer method yet!
I'm getting the notification too. I won't be updating til I find out what it does.

We have custom recovery. Why on earth would anyone do a OTA .. ever... again.... I have never. There will be a ROM based on Stock available that will include every GOOD thing from every OTA that is pushed... Patience is a virtue.

The Newest recovery has ADB option and is considered safe for now. My point is that why would anyone accept an OTA when it is obvious that withing a short period of time there is not only going to be a fully fixed recovery plus Custom ROM's based on the latest Stock ROM with the OTA included. Once you Root and install recovery, you kiss the carrier and their attempts at "Updates" goodbye.

Freeze the System Update App in System with Titanium.

Notice anything change?
i haven't rooted yet, so i told it to install later. i'll root tonight so that i know i can have it, sounds like the update doesnt take root away, it could keep you from rooting if you arent yet tho..
Oh crap, did the update and it looks like I'm soft bricked(?). I can only get to TWRP, and can't reboot the phone (always goes back to TWRP, no matter what I do, even after Factory Reset). PLEASE HELP!!
(Verizon G2)
I'm not sure if I can attribute this to the ota update but my wifi performance has been really glitchy. Constant disconnect/reconnect.
I can't say it's due 100% to the ota because wifi will occasionally get spotty due to the sheer amount of wifi APs and traffic at my workplace.
Anyone else experience this? BTW I'm rooted.

This might seem stupid, but I was having the same problem.
Then I removed my SIM-card while the phone was on, and then I let it reboot automatically.
When it rebooted, I was able to open the update center, where I could update all the apps that weren't working. :laugh:
