I have searched around and I couldn't find anyone that has mentioned this before. If you really want the JI6 and don't want to use Kies and when you hit the "software update button" it shows "no firmware" I found a way to force it.
*****JI6 bricks a lot of phones. rooted or unrooted... so be careful! I would unroot and remove any lagfixes just to be safe. If you're phone gets bricked it is not because of this method. it is because JI6 has issues. if you do get bricked... check out this thread: forum.xda-developers [dot] com/showthread.php?p=8522603#post8522603****
**DUMMY PROOF INSTRUCTIONS!**
If you already have launcher pro:
1) goto your homescreen.
2) menu key, add.
3) hit shortcuts and then activities.
4) scroll down to device management
5) select "com.wssyncmldm.wssAppDmUiMain" and hit ok
6) this will put a shortcut on your homescreen that will say device management with blue and red arrows.
7) open that shortcut up and hit software update.
if you don't have launcher pro or don't know what it is.
1) goto the market.
2) search "Launcher Pro" or "Federico Carnales"
3) look for a yellow icon with a house on it.
4) install that.
5) once installed hit your homekey. select launcherpro but don't select use as default until you fall in love with launcherpro ;]
6) then, follow the steps above
Wao...thanks
Wating for froyo now

Is this for all countries or just the current?
I'm pretty sure its just for the states.
however i was messing around in the settings of that shortcut... and it apears that you can mess with the DM server connection settings and you can mess with a bunch of stuff... so maybe if you change the APN to whatever carrier you are using it would work??
Try it. follow my steps above. goto settings then DM connection settings and edit the network profile apn settings.

This might lead to other cool stuff down the road as well... there are some really cool settings in that shortcut. you can change it to "lab" and "production" profile... so maybe we can get a leaked froyo a little early??

What's launcher pro? I have the American Vibrant but I am using in Germany. Would it work?
This worked for me. Good post. Downloaded Launcher Pro from the market (Free), and then followed these directions. Immediately my 3G arrows were working overtime, and withing 3min I had the OTA available message.

the wssappdmuimain is the first shortcut. Just select it and say ok. It should place a shortcut on your home screen that says device management with a blue and red arrow. Then open that shortcut and hit software update.
Maybe in blind but where is the activities shortcut?

Followed intructions to the T. I would suggest doing it over WIFI.

Installation over WIFI took 4 mins. Hung at the S screen for 3 mins.
Kept all setting and apps, everything works. GPS locked onto 8 out of 12 sats in less than 10 seconds.

Well didnt work for me . I hit software update... the same arrow appear on the top of my phone but they disappeared like in 3 secs! Nothing happened afterwards.
As I have said, does anyone has idea if this would work being overseas? I have the American version, because I bought in NY on Craiglist... But right now I am in Germany.

Try this. homescreen > menu key > settings > wireless and network > mobile networks > access point names
What does it say? whatever is selected and if your data is working... write down that APN.
THEN. if you still have the device management shortcut on your homescreen. go into that. select settings then network profile then for the APN change it to whatever you are currently using for your german carrier.
let me know if this works. if it does not and you need to revert the settings the tmobile apn is: epc.tmobile.com

Waited so long for this only to not install it on my 3113.
Installed it on my GF and daughters tablet already. It is a bit sluggish, but that is expected since neither were clean installs.
Honestly though, I find this update to no longer be needed by me. Since Cody found a way (and whoever else helped) to add the IR-Blaster driver into CM10.2 (JB 4.3), I find this to be a case of too little-too late. That is only my opinion though, of course.
But looking through this update on my GF's tablet I did notice some cool things. Only thing that she dislikes is that now the notification pull down goes over the entire screen, regardless of how many notifications it has. Is there a way to alter this?

Tried multiple times (that used to work for me): Login worked for the forums but not for downloads.
However, it doesn't matter, as the samsung-updates.com site worked fine, and only a one hour (1GB) download (not the 2.8 hours predicted).
Observations:
Chainfire's "CF-Auto-Root" works just fine.
There is no option to enable debugging. Yes, there is! On the "Build number" field in "About device" under "Settings", tap seven times to enable on "Developer options". That permanently adds it to the "Settings" menu!
You can make an ADB connection either via USB or "adbWireless", but "adb devices" on the PC shows the device "offline". Both work! A newer version of the Android SDK was needed on the PC ...
It only supports WiFi channels 1-11, even with the "wifi_country_code" database fix that enables channels 1-13 on v4.1.1.
Other than those and some cosmetic changes and minor additions to "Settings", I see no significant differences.

Observations.
I upgraded via Kies, got a message saying "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later" when I was trying the OTA.
This updates the android version to 4.2.2, if you didn't already know.
-The device is not vulnerable to the master key bug.
-The clipboard bug is fixed.. for now.
-Transparent status bar on homescreen and lockscreen
-New wallpapers
-Offline charging indicator slightly changed (color)
-Stock apps (SPlanner/Calendar, Browser, Alarms, Gallery, Memo..) have new UI + New apps: Group Play, Paper artist, Help.
-Device does not overheat now ,comparing to the latest build.
-Battery icon in status bar changes color depending on percentage:
1.Green: 100%-21%
2.Yellow/orange : 20%-11%
3.Red : 10%-6%
4.Warning sign "!" : 5%-1%
Pros: 1. More RAM. 2. Nice weather widget 3. Smartstay feature.
The device is not laggy/sluggish as some users have reported: I upgraded from the latest "UECLK7 4.1.1" build, no factory reset.
Cons: 1. Looks different from previous build, kind of weird - bigger icons and fonts, with more spacing between them. 2. White notification panel which takes over the whole screen. 3. Can't add lockscreen widgets with secure lock (Must use swipe to unlock) 4. Can't add swipe lock with pattern lock, like the previous build. (No shortcuts now, with pattern)

Confirmed.
##DEBUG# does not give me any values for any of the options. For example, if I go into 1X Engeineering RF menu, nothing comes up - just an empty black screen. It's that way for all the options.
I would be willing to deal with that is there is any other option, like an app, that could give me the same info.
I have tried ##SCRTN#, updated everything, restarted the phone. Nothing works to get that info there.
Any suggestions?

Hi fellow devs nd members of xda,
I have got problems with my Galaxy S4.. The sview is flashing throughout my screen without any S-Cover or any magnetic material. This happens randomly.. So I need to disable the s-view service and associated files.
I have tried the following :
1. Disable s-view from system settings
2. Renamed and changed permission for system/app/sview service.apk
I heard from another developer to change the value from OPEN to CLOSE in hall_detect file located at sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_key. But I can't write into the file or rename the file.. The only thing I can do is change the permissions, but that doesn't help..
Does anyone have any idea how this sview works. It's become annoying when I play movies or games on my S4..
Many thanks
AJ

If you're rooted you could try the xposed modules, there's one in there that disables S-View.
I will edit this post if I find the specifics.

It's as close as you can get without disabling the sensor. I didn't hook into the phone so that might still show the S-View window, but that's no biggie. Also, the Smart Stay icon disappears, but hey, that can be a plus

EDIT: When I deactivate the app per third party app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org) the black screen comes on without time and date. So there is any other process that start when a magnet comes close to the S4 ?

Yes, of course the holder has magnets too so yeah I know its triggering that view but I thought that view could be fully disabled without a custom rom.
A custom rom is no solve for me right now.
The Question would be how the S View got removed in the roms then I could do the same for my stock rom.
Found out that the Hall Sensor triggers that but found nothing to disable or something like that.
I looked for smart settings on my Verizon unit and couldn't find it. Looks like Verizon removed it.
Here is how to get it back.
Download QuickShortcutmaker from the market
Open it and scroll down to smart settings.
Open the smart settings dropdown.
Now press the first smart settings drop down.
This will create a icon on your home screen.
That's it.

Thank you for this suggestion. Most Smart Settings cannot be used without the My Places feature active, and that has apparently been disabled by Verizon as well. Any workaround suggestions?
Perhaps try Llama? It can be found in the Play Store
I would be very interested if one of the tmobile phone owners have an apk of my places, and could possibly post it.

No, unfortunately Verizon verified that they did indeed REMOVE My places functionality from their version, so no it will not auto-locate your home location after 5 days, either.
IMO, they are trying to force you to use more data. Most people turn their wifi off when they leave, and turn it back on when they come home - Smart setting will do just that. So, why would Big Red not want you to have it? Because when you have to do it manually, you'll forget to turn it back on when you get home... and when you do that, you'll use more data. my *theory*.

So, why would Big Red not want you to have it? Because when you have to do it manually, you'll forget to turn it back on when you get home... and when you do that, you'll use more data. my *theory*.

Or people will just leave WiFi on...because it doesn't use that much battery when not in use. This isn't a conspiracy to get people to use more data. Sounds like carriers have to pay for certain features on phones and Verizon didn't want to cash out for some less useful features. Plenty of other apps out there that can turn your WiFi on and off automatically.

Hmmm... most people I know turn it off, but to each his own. But when that is intentionally disabled along with FM radio, along with Google In Apps Search shortcut (by which you must do an internet search first before just searching for something on your phone...) - a pattern seems to be emerging... but let's give Big Red the benefit of the doubt, right? Let's forget about the lawsuit about them asking Blackberry to disable bluetooth so you couldn't transfer files, or the similar lawsuit about the same kind of thing with Motorola...
No... Nothing to see here... Move along, people, move along...
Any luck with this?
Is there a root app that can do the same thing since My Places isn't working?

There are numerous apps that don't require root that will do what Smart Settings does and more.
