Just saw this link on Facebook. Thought I would share here...

From what I remember about the update scheduling, MS can push updates past carrier certification if the carrier delays until the next update is ready. I would love to see MS use these little micro-updates to game that system. Anything that helps to reduce AT&T's interference in the use of its own network is fine by me.

That would be pretty tricky, but I would think MS would at least hold off until carriers have shown a pattern of delays.
the only problem is that it isn't really an update. It's an update to help out the future updates. Wtf is microsoft doing? This OS is developing slowly, and their communication is horrible. I feel like I'm going to want a new phone by the time this mythical update shows up (that hopefully corrects all the flaws)
Focus
Everyone with a Focus should read the thread in the Windows Phone Forum very carefully and take a wait and see attitude before updating. Not looking good for the Omnia 7 and starting to look bad for the Focus.
Samsung owners claim Windows Phone 7 update has bricked their devices.
I personally had a Samsung Intrepid v6.5 that after an update, it became a brick. There was NO way for me to go back to the previous version either.
Anyone got the update?
Has anyone got the update yet or a notification of it? I checked my wifes phone and it said no update through the phone or zune. It's completely stock (except the memory) so I'm hoping it won't have any problems.
Edit - Nevermind. I guess it's staged over some time. It also shows her having the firmware that is having so many problems so maybe waiting isn't a bad idea.
Version #
How do you know if you recived the update? I hook up my phone yesterday, and it started synching stuff that has been on my phone for months. The items were never changed since I installed on my phone. I check in the Zune software and it says I'm up to date. Do you get a message that says, "Hey stupid, here's an update"? MS doesn't seem to clear and what is supposed to happen. Do you get a text, or a number in your Marketplace tile, or what?
My firmware version ends in JJ1 for PDA, Phone and CSC.
I got that from dialing *#1234# from the diagnostic app.
I have not seen the notice for the update yet.
Anyone else with a Focus seen the update yet?
Let down in wireless promises
I'm am so let down with Carriers & Manufacturers promising updates! I had the Captivate when it came out, and was happy with the expection of 2.2 Froyo being released. As I was waiting I rooted the phone and ran a developers version of 2.2, which was great. In Jan I decided to swap for the Focus because it was just a simplier phone to use. I noticed on the MS website it even notated an expected release of an update in Jan.
All in all, when you buy a phone I would recommend not giving into the impulse of buying it just because they say updates are coming, especially with Samsung. I do love both phones, but this is just terrible. Seems like technology has gotten to the point that if what you have isn't ready NOW, then it's already old news and updates are just a fantasy.
For gods sake, now there's the new 4G HTC Inspire running Froyo promising Gingerbread.
Actually, the only thing I wish I could do on the Focus was watch youtube videos in high quality using 3G... Hahaha... I guess making ring tones too, but that's it!

Mine ends with JJ2. Didn't get the new update. I wonder if I should wait a while before I do though.. Not sure if I want to brick this phone.. yet.

Just tried it. I don't see anything saying firmware. The first three all have JJ1. I've been checking plenty of WP sites. I haven't seen anyone on ATT get an update.
AT&T NOT holding back update
I had to speak to the Technical Support area of the AT&T Warranty Center today. All of a sudden, after 2 months, the battery icon at the top of the page ehibited the following symptoms:
. Blinks on and off, sometimes with the "plug" showing on the battery icon even though the phone is not on the charger. Blinks about once every 2 seconds.
. "Beeps" everytime it blinks.
. Screen will not turn off because this icon is blinking.
I was told that Technical Support had a meeting yesterday and that this is a know issue with WP7 by Microsoft and that the upcoming late February/early March update will contain a fix for this issue.
I asked why I had not recived an update notification and whether AT&T was holding up this update. The TS person said absolutely not, especially since this update will contain bug fixes that affect currently released phone models. AT&T is not holding back the update.
This person also told me that the issue is suspected to be caused by a virus that enters the phone when browsing the Internet and that warranty does not cover viruses. Well, that set me off. Their phone, their OS, their browser. I'll address this to be sure.
But, the update is coming, contains fixes, and AT&T is NOT holding it back.

No, not a chance. I already contacted the store manager who I purchased the phone from and he has guaranteed a warranty replacement. I am still going to wait for the update to see if what the ST&T TS person was speaking the truth. If I have to, I'll take the SIM out and put it back in my FUZE running 6.5.x.
I received my updated today ! Window poped up and said there was an update. When I went to check the market place, there were no apps there were ready for up date. One would have to think the small update for the OS was sent out. How does one check ?
Sync through Zune.
Oh ya.... the OS update is not OTA (over the air) like the apps update. I will go sync now.
okay seems the update was pulled after some issues. I was rolled out again this week !
http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-20039227-94.html
Seems there still might be an issue according to the article. I plugged my phone into laptop this morning after receiving another notification yesterday. It seems to be installing now. Fingers are crossed for no issues.
EDIT: OS Version after update reads 7.0.7008.0
The update took about 10 minutes.
it downloaded the file, verified it, said it was going to reboot in 10, 9, 8, 7.. then said your system is up to date!?
Only thing I can think of is it aborted due to battery level?
B
exactly the same! What to do? dont want to wait for days again!
I've assumed it's battery and am charging now.. anyone else know what's going on?
The same issue with me...Don't have a clue what to do..
i9023? mines not rooted or anything "custom"
Me too! I just received the OTA notification, made a backup and clicked update.
Downloaded the 128mb file, file check was ok, pushed "restart and install" and instead it said that system is updated. Any help?
No root, stock 2.3.6, i9023
same here, my phone was on charge btw..
Anyone found a resolution for this yet? Received another OTA download?
Mine was on about 45% when I got OTA, plugged it in to my comp USB port before download started but still disappeared on countdown as well
not received another notification, how rubbish eh! maybe they somehow "pulled it" before it could damage something? dunno. I'm sure someone clued up might add something helpful.
This bug is so annoying, it was soo close!! Still haven't found anything about it on here or other sites, and still no new OTA message
Same here,
Just got the update OTA...finished downloading and began counting down for the restart. At 8 secs remaining it switched to saying "your system is currently up to date". I tried restarting with no luck!
WTF!!
I hope it comes back!
I have still recieved nothing! How long would it take? I have a normal nexus s, unbranded unrooted and all that stuff...

If you received an update notification a little while ago but the update isn't currently available for your phone, this is likely the result of Google pausing the update in your area while we monitor feedback. The Android 4.0 update is continuing to roll out around the world so your phone will receive another update notification when it's available again in your region.
5 of 10 people found this answer helpful. Did you? YesNo Report abuse
That doesn't really address, RECEIVING, downloading, verifying and "ok'ing" the update, only for nothing to happen. V odd.
Same here..
Why don't, all of you, flash it manually? It's exact same as receiving the update ota.
I'm a new user so I can't attach link but if you go to the Google Mobile Help Forum you can see a thread, started by a user called Fozan, reporting the same issue.
Maybe it's better if you all report the problem there as well so Google can understand that we are a lot!

the problem is right this! seems that, because we already downloaded the upgrade, we are not eligibe anymore for the OTA!
No indication of what it is, but it took quite a while to install. Does anyone have any information on this? I couldn't find anything at the Samsung USA site.
Got the update too. It mentions a new market available with the update.

Seems to have cured the wi-fi reconnection lag on my tab that came with the last firmware update.
Haven't seen any other differences yet.
OTA did not work for me. Updating with Kies, as I type.
I updated ota without issue. Also did not lose root, or at least apps that need root and super user still work the same. Seems smother but isn't that always the way. Hopefully browser will not crash like before, will see. Oh, and blazing fast, of course ;-)
installed, only thing I see different is market 3.4.4. This update did introduce the wifi reconnect problem that I have not had before this update. Sorry now I did it, will have to recoinoiter my position since the wifi bug is now included in this rom

Mate, it Can't be Truth! especially part with root remaining after flashing stock ROM.
Me too
Well, this update seems to have fixed the Wifi problems that came with the last update... It all seems quicker and tighter.
Sorry, I was wrong. After the tab has been asleep for awhile, Wifi has about a minute lag before kicking in. Same as before the update.

Did it just appear when you were connected to WiFi as an OTA update? Mine is still stuck on slow laggy 3.1 and have no idea how to get it to do a manual check for an OTA update?? I plugged it into Kies and it said it was up to date?

Mine is a US purchased P7510 - that's why I have been able to update it.
On the downside- the wi-fi reconnection lag has re-appeared after a couple of days. By that I mean - after the tab goes to sleep and is woken up by pressing the power button, it can take up to 30 seconds to reconnect to my wi-fi. If I go to settings and turn off wi-fi and then turn it back on again, it will reconnect in about 2 seconds. Weird ... but true ...
Stock Gallery performance seems a lot better to me.
Zooming large images is much faster and sharper.
btw. I didn't loose my root either
using galaxy tab 10.1 3g as a gt-p7500 phone voice call
I am using rooted galaxy tab 10.1 3g gt-p7500 with ICS ANDROID 4.
There is no phone voice call feature. How can I enable this
I noticed mild stuttering while flashvideoplayback. Was not there on KMN. Anyone else? Videoperformance decreases with every update ...

When I click on my market icon I get application not installed after this update. The icon looks different but doesn't launch anything.
Nevermind, it was just the icon for old market. Deleted then added the app shortcut again and it works.
Anything specific we should know regarding this update?
The ICS update finally appeared in France for stock Note.
It appears the update was pulled shortly after because a lot of users bricked their Notes in the process.
Moral of the story: don't update as soon as you see an update, but wait...
Samsung really sucks at software development.

as tu une source s'il te plait merci
Samsung france facebook page for the source.
SFR update and XEF for the short time i spent there.
i'm in the same case except that i'm booted and running( for me was a FOTA update, wich installed nicely except with a "failed " message after the fist boot), but the phone cannot be mounted by any ways under windows now ( even with drivers reinstalled ).
But some seems to be blocked in bootloop
Epic fail on this one, especially just before a week-end.
I'm one of the lucky few that got it to boot - sigh come on Samsung!
Managed to upgrade to ICS with 'failed to upgrade firmware' warning.
Missing S Note application, not sure whatelse it might be missing.
You can manually install S Note app by looking up apk file.
Search 'S Note app xda' from google if anyone having similar problem.
Kies 2.0 is recognizing phone as well. I can link screenshot if anyone need for w/e reason if it may help them.
Also, battery drainage problem still there i believe.
Tried the infamous aeroplane mode method, not so sure if it helped:
1. Turn off touch sound and screen lock sound from setting->setting
2. Turn on aeroplane mode
3. Switch off phone
4. Take out battery for 10sec
5. Boot and wait till everything loads
6. Turn off aeroplane mode
App called 'Play Movies' was installed along with ICS, but it gives 404 connection error for 'movie rental' section.
Other than that, Note is running really smooth with ICS.
Firmware version shows up as PDA:LQ3 / PHONE:LPT / CSC:LP1 (XEF)

When I see that, I'm happy to install safe custom roms...
It's a shame for such a company to provide such crappy roms...
Well I am one of those who got stuck on the infamous Samsung logo...
Stock Note, purchased in November, never rooted, 2 GB updates via OTA since November, CSC XEF.
Yesterday morning I got the upgrade notice, did it OTA and on rebooting stuck on Samsung screen...
As an idiot I had been waiting for the "official" ICS ROM.
Thanks Samsung, lesson learned.
Many phone manufacturers will tell you to stay away from custom roms to avoid bricking your phone but to brick your device when updating on an OFFICIAL stock rom after receiving a notification is definitely UNBELIEVABLE !!!!! What is Samsung doing to this expensive device - after the EMMC Bug episode where many people have bricked their Note, now we have another update problem!
Samsung's reputation will take a hard punch with these things if the press writes about this. I think most people who bricked their Note will be fed up and avoid Samsung's phones in the futur.....

totally agree... it would have been good for them if they silently provide fix for the emmc bug... staying on GB has become the best solution to all this crap..
I have to say that I'm glad to hear of this. At least it's not just me!!!
My French note got the update yesterday and although it's not hung up or bricked, it certainly has huge issues. Running so hot and battery discharging even when connected to PC by usb. Using wall charger is barely keeping up with the drain even when not using phone.
Have done battery pull and cache wipe twice. No change. Factory reset, nothing either.
Swype not working. Premium suite totally missing. Really disappointing.
Probably not worth waiting for them to figure it out. Downloading UK version now.
I left my note on overnight under the following condition.
Wifi off
Bluetooth off
Data off
Auto rotation off
Gps off
Silent mode on
Power saving off
Between 1am and 10am battery % changed from 81% to 79%.
Quite satisfied with standby drainage.
I just did aeroplane methid as i mentioned on page 1.
Not using any battery save apps.
However when using apps such as dolphin browser, s note, s memo, there seem to be heavy battery drainage issue.
Charged fully then used the browser for approx. 30min and it was on 90%.
Hi All,
I'd really appreciate some help as my G2 is running really badly & crashes when I run pretty much any app and randomly reboots and freezes all day long - Its getting to be really, really depressing
What I did originally is come on here and basically started reading and followed guides etc > Rooted > then managed to get stuck in a boot loop for about 6 hours which scared the cr*p outta me.
Eventually after a lot of reading and panicking I was so happy to eventually get sorted and managed to flash SEA SINGAPORE D80220B ROM using the LG Flash tool.
Things worked well for about 2 months or so and I was delighted - But over time the issues have been creeping back and are now getting worse/more frequent on a daily basis - I think my main issue is that since this update I cannot receive any OTA updates from LG - I get the below error:
Err:0x1111004
Also when I try an update using the LG PC Suite app on my Laptop I get stuck at 49% each time.
I really am so miserable about this as I was saving for this phone for an age and now cannot enjoy it!
I would be so appreciative if someone would give me a path to a fresh start - I will consider anything to have a stable reliable phone, but ideally I'd just love to have LGs stock Lollipop build that can just get OTA updates as they come out and put this horrible disappointment and frustration behind me.
So sorry for long post.......Thanks, Raiser
