************ As of August 23 2013 I have reverted and downgraded my version back to 4.1.2 ***************************
Battery Drain and S-pen issues just kiiled all the fun.
Building a list of changes / updates I have noticed as to what i see as new after updating from 4.1.2. (i.e before i get used to it and forget what it was like).
A lot of you with other devices might already be familiar with changes,but hope it helps who only have this as their primary device.
If anyone has any of their findings to share i'd be glad to add to this list.
*** Major or Generic Changes (most should be aware of these):
1. App to SD Option available. (right now my 64 GB External SD is already full, so haven't tested it fully, but it worked for some and was unable to move on a few.)
2. Different Lock Screen with editable widget region. and an additional effect instead only the ripple as in previous.
3. Gone are those special home screens what you would get for your accessories (or hidden as I could not find them). Like taking out s-pen or plugging in a headphone. (seems like the notification bar shows those recommended shortcuts now)
4. Different & kinda new notification & toggles menu system.
5. Adapt Display Option Added to Screen Mode (Settings > Display >Screen Mode). This is default now. My prior setting used to be movie.
6. DayDream: Seems like a Customizable ScreenSaver, however I haven't been able to preview or activate it yet. (any tips when/how it launches).
7. A Bit louder audio comparatively on headphones. I cannot confirm this or if anything changed at all, but i feel my earphones a bit louder now at full.
8: S-pen : Noticing a tiny bit of offset (note: tiny like perhaps 0.1 mm - 0.2 mm towards top right (1 'o'clock).
****** Confirmed *****
9: Little bit different text rendering (perhaps a new engine). The Make text legible (enhance) option makes much more pronounced difference as compared to before. Everything is a more Darker and more anti aliased. Might take a day or 2 getting used to. Tried few Pdf's and CBR(comics) I feel them a bit different (little muddy, or as said above needs eyes to adjust).
10: Responsiveness seems fine.
9 ****** There is a new travel wallpaper slide show setting in lock screen wallpapers © pakure
*** App Specific Changes
1: The accuweather widget (default on 4.1.2) is gone.
2. Gallery : A New Layout and structure. (New Look) any new features ? remains to be seen.
3: Stock Music Player: A bit different Look and feel (perhaps a global touchwiz update)
3.1: Smart Volume option : Adjusts All tracks to similar volume level. Nice.
3.2: Tube Amp Effect added to Sound Alive. Although Audio purists would likely have everything disabled, I am kinda liking this on earphones. It has a bit of fullness to it.
I am not sure if they are adding any tube saturation/ additional Harmonics to make it should warmer, but sound has more of a glued together feel to it (as opposed to expanded/ wide).
3.3: Song Info can be edited after going into details.(I am not certain if it was already there in previous, however it looks more noticeable and prominent now.)
4: Stock Video Player: Again a bit different look and layout.
4.1: The video Color Settings option is gone. (In Older version you could choose amongst normal, cool , and warm setting) (my preference being warm) but perhaps, the Global Screen mode settings takes care of that.
4.2: Some of the videos failed to play (I think I was able to play them before on stock player). Might be due to different codecs per regional release.
4.3: Option for Outdoor visibility is gone from video settings. (not that I cared for it any bit)
*** UPDATE **** 15 August 2013
4.4 : Definitely Sharper videos (sd content) in stock video player ( as compared to mx player) as well as videos have more solid blacks than 4.1.2 firmware.
5: Few New apps (Might be that I have access to them now because of a different region Generic firmware) : Video Hub and Music Hub and their integration with Stock players.
watch-on and few other apps (video hub) don't work as likely my region is not currently supported.
*** Old Issues Findings/Reports
1: Screen Freeze : I did not have that issue in the previous firmware and I don't have that issue in current. Others might like to add.
2: Battery used to jump from 96% or 98% to 100% : Needs further testing/ long runs. (my tablet is mostly on AC anyway).
*************** More Additions/Revisions will Come as Discovered.
**************************************************
Confirmed / Verified Issues
**************************************************
01: Alarm does not ring if you have a magnetic smart cover on. : RESOLVED as of 10/10/2013 Firmware Update : N5100DDCMI2
02: S-Pen Offset : RESOLVED as of 10/10/2013 Firmware Update : N5100DDCMI2
03: Unable to Wipe Cache Partition from System Recovery : After the progress bar it gives the error message and reboots. (if anyone got tips. please share)
04: No editable lock screen shortcuts : RESOLVED In Earlier Firmware Updates.

Yes, my version of flash player is 11 and it's working with stock browser. Though stability is a bit dicey it seemsand more often that not is crashing.
On further tests i would say, stock browser does not like flash anymore. Firefox still plays ball.
My Note used to freeze all the time, especially using whats app. with 4.22 it hasn't frozen once.
not sure i like the new darker over rich colours.
battery seems to be draining more, but not 100% sure
On my N5100 I have an issue with alarm after update. There is no alarm when smart cover is closed.
I've checked it several times.
Does anyone have the same problem?

Is SAMSUNG LINK working for anyone? I tried it just once on PC+S4(works fine) + NOTE8 - but note8 refuse to connect. Tried lots of things to do, clean data. removed and readded Samsung account but no luck at all. Other things working fine - like GroupPlay with S4...Altough will probably never use them but wanted to try it just once.

Go to app manager and for Samsung link uninstall the updates.
then launch samsung link (factory version it reverts to). Update it again when it asks you to from samsung app store. that should likely fix for you as did for me.
Anyone have some before and after update quadrant scores. Been waiting for the OTA update on my N5100. Just ran a quadrant on my stock 4.1.2 and seeing a score of 6779, what score are you getting on the 4.2.2 update?

Well you have to flash using ODIN.
There is no flashing zip currently.

Mine Is Un-Rooted, and always has been factory Stock. (never ever rooted in past either).
I can't use that app without root, and i don;t think i can check into system/app unless i am rooted either.
however the wdiget went missing from homescreen and is nowhere to be found is app drawer widgets.
Personally weather widgets don;t matter to me but the s-pen issue does. Now I could just open the pen up and calibrate it (physically) but feel it's samsung who needs to fix this up along with few other things.
btw what is the procedure (if any) to revert to previous version.
Well the widget is just an APK. So you are correct in that it doesn't matter.
Not sure what you mean by revert to previous version?
If you want to flash back to 4.1.2. You need to use ODIN. Put your device into download mode and flash the correct 4.1.2 firmware for your device from sammobile. (Make sure you have the correct CSC for your region)
Apparently all the Spen app does is change a setting from right hand mode to left hand mode then back to right hand mode... and vice versa.
Just offering you some solutions because Samsung solutions will take some time if they come at all.

Thanks,
My S-pen offset is not so troublesome as it's off by just a little, (unlikely but it could also be that different regions releases have different offset compensation built into them).
I don't know much about csc or anything but if I download the sammobile official firmware release for my region (INU) india (4.1.2), would that be all it would take to downgrade from 4.2.2?
Yes granted your device was originally from india. You could flash any of them but you want to flash the one for your region so that all carrier bloatware and carrier based services work.

I have been using the phone for 3 weeks now and have discovered the following bugs that no one reported till now:
- List View in the menu causes the app drawer to crash then return back to grid view
- Overall volume (Ringtone, Music..etc) becomes low after using the phone for sometime
- Opening more than 3 windows in the browser causes a freeze with a white screen (rotating the screen to landscape then to portrait again fixes the issue)
- Pressing the call button on my MW600 bluetooth headset causes the phone to crash
I will update more in the future, but for now I only got those
Firmware: JPKF3
I have had none of these.

From within the app, have you gone in to Settings>AccuWeather>Auto refresh and made sure it's enabled?
Flash 10.3 (update) quirkiness/slight incompatibility with some flash video formats?
- I find MPEG decode artifacts with h264 flash videos e.g. videos on BBC news website.
Gives subtle but noticable flickering horizontal lines during playback, particularly when lots of contrast difference within the video.
Only fix is to uninstall Flash 10.3 back to slower 10.1.

Hey guys,
So I recieved the new 3.2 update today on my US Wifi Galaxy Tab 10.1 and there's a few changes that I have already noticed:
1. Samsumg removed the bouncy effect (similar to the one the was in Apple devices) that was in the browser, settings menu, Android Market, and anything that scrolled and has replaced the effect with the normal Android effect of a blue highlight that gets bigger as you try to scroll more at the end of the page (Possibly has to do with Samsung vs. Apple court case?)
2. Now when you're watching a video on youtbe and using full screen the bottom bar is fully gone and there isn't that random line that was there before !
3. The menu button looks a bit different in the Android Market and Youtube app, almost bolded or popped out (no new Android market btw. It's the same old one so we still don't have access to the music store from the Android Market).
4. Now when you click on a contact icon, when the list of all possible things of contacting them (Google Voice, Google Maps for directions, Gmail, Twitter, etc) shows up entirely and you don't have to scroll left and right).
5. QuickOffice HD seems to have been updated (but not to the newest 5.0 version that is on the Android Market). The icon has also changed and now it says "Pro" and "HD" on it (which is what the Android Market version icon is like)
6. Browser seems a bit faster but I'm not sure about that. And the tablet in general feels overall faster.
Anything else that you guys have noticed? (Besides the button that changes app screen sizes that normally comes with 3.2)
Aboutebug settings changes now seems to stick.
all share is available.
Web browser seems alot snappier. App drawer and pages scroll smoother aswell.
Good morning all!
I'm glad that you got the update on your Tabs. Can I ask you what the better if I fill up its batteries and then update it, or if I plug it in and until filling up I'm updating? Did you notice any problems while updating? Is this update deleted anything from your device? Or everything stayed the same?
There's a little icon next to the clock to turn an app into full screen
This update was for the WIFI version only right?
Allshare is present now
does the screen shout button function can be changed? , like in galaxy tab 7.7 its function can be changed and also the mini apps can be edited or even removed in the 7.7 ?
how is there no updated market YET??
The browser definitely is faster.
Has anyone had issues with home screen auto rotate lag? I updated to 3.2 and it now takes 2 - 3 seconds to rotate. With 3.1 it was almost instantaneous. I also tried the widespread fix by long pressing the home screen and choosing a section other than add widget with no results. This is very frustrating.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
Yes, it is especially noticeable when you turn your tab 180 degrees in one motion. ( top becomes bottom)
OK, so I decided to change my wallpaper from a static image to a live wallpaper and the rotation improved immensely. That is so counter-intuitive, but see if you can re-create it.

Dice player compatibility, anyone? 3.2 wifi user reported diceplayer broke in this ver. I'm on 3.2 3g and it fixed video playback with diceplayer. I was having issues with 3.1 previously.
Id like to add.
Previously on 3.1, 180 degrees rotate will make a 90 + 90 rotation
With 3.2,it fades out and inverts the screen, and fades back in.
Hope this information is useful.
Agreed with all of the above.
However, I get a lot of gapps Force Closes. Can anyone suggest anything besides a full wipe?
Firstly, a big thanks to fellow kiwi developer "dzo" for this great port!
Official dev thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1492957
I'm unable to post in the dev section until I have 10 posts, so I thought I would start an issues thread here for people who also haven't made 10 posts yet.
***IF YOU DO HAVE AN ISSUE YOU WOULD LIKE TO POST ABOUT, IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO INCLUDE KERNEL AND ROM DETAILS***
e.g. Official 2.3.5 B522 as base, Aurora ICS version 1.6, used 5.5.0.4 Recovery
CURRENT TESTING VERSION - 1.8
Issues:
-Sound from the speaker is scratchy and distorted, everytime the phone emits sounds - especially noticeable in notifications.
-The volume from the speaker is too loud on the lowest volume setting.
-Product name/model needs to be changed from 'msm7630_surf' to 'Huawei u8800' in build.prop
-SD card sometimes doesn't mount (requires restart to mount)
-No panorama mode in camera. ---stock camera app
-Gallery app crashes when selecting Edit (random, sometimes the photo editor works, sometimes crashes).
-Movie Studio crashes when adding in/out transitions.
-Camera app crashes when selecting any "face effect" in video mode. ---stock camera app
Notes:
I used the B522 official Huawei 2.3.5 as base, and then loaded version 1.6 over top of that using Recovery 5.5.0.4.
Archived Issues:
-The lights on the backlit keys don't work all the time, even when it's dark. [It appears this is by design. Use auto-brightness for the keys to light automatically.]
-Mobile Networks --> Network Operators is unable to search for networks (both automatically and manually). It says "Error While Searching for Networks". [Seems to have been fixed with 1.8]
-UI is generally quite laggy across the whole system [Seems a lot better with 1.8]
-It probably needs a "file explorer app" installed as stock so you don't have to manually transfer one via USB. [ES File Explorer added in version 1.8]
-Red border appears momentarily on occasion (usually when a sound is playing - also happens when unlock pin code is being entered) [Hasn't happened with version 1.8]
-Playback of music tracks does not automatically go to next track after previous track is finished. ---beyond pod; stock music player [Fixed in version 1.8]

I've only just loaded ICS on during the last few hours, so haven't had time to thoroughly test internet/browser. Will do eventually though.
The Ookla Speedtest app seemed to have good speeds. Although the upload speed seemed a little "out". It was up around the 1.7-1.8Mbps mark, when I know my upload speed is capped at 1.0Mbps.
Also, the mini graphs that show the upload and download speeds underneath the main "meter" was showing a weird streaky white block instead of the usual line graph. I wonder if others could test this too and report back.
I can add "slow internet" to the OP issue list if you like?
Can you explain it a little more for clarity?
Cheers.
i cant use any camera app, but stock one works just fine
Ookla Speedtest app gives me 100kbit/s down on a 2mbit/s internet connection.
When I press at the wifi it shows link speed 6Mbps.
Edit: speed ok after changing router
Great idea, I too have some issues I'd like to report but I'm unable due to the 10 posts limitations. Hopefully someone w/ access will bring this link to dzo's attention.
So far, the ones I think weren't reported yet:
No panorama mode in camera;
Gallery app crashes when selecting Edit (random, sometimes the photo editor works, sometimes crashes);
Movie Studio crashes when adding in/out transitions;
Camera app crashes when selecting any "face effect" in video mode;
Some background noise everytime the phone emits sounds - especially noticeable in notifications;
That seems to be it, will add more as I find them.

Nope, unfortunately not for me yet.
SourceForge is being a bit buggy for some people at the moment (including me). Others on the main Aurora thread have said that 1.7 has appeared on SourceForge for them, but for others it hasn't yet.
Waiting... waiting.... ;-)
EDIT: It appeared for me momentarily on SourceForge, but when I went to click to download it said the file was unavailable to download. dzo has just uploaded it to Google Code, so downloading now.
Sourceforge was with a strange behavior, but now seems to be fine.
Try now, I'm sure now you can
1.8 is out.
I actually went back to stock B522 for the moment, as I just found the 1.7 UI too laggy, but I might load 1.8 on now.
OK, installed 1.8 yesterday and I don't know if it is the ROM, or if I did something different to install it, but it appears to be running a lot smoother UI wise.
Sound from the speaker is still terrible though. It sounds to me like it could be a sampling rate incompatibility.

It's really weird because sound is only distorted when played through that back-speaker.

i have 2.3.5 firmware with stock 2.6.35.7 kernel. however i think due to difference in device and the port, it may not be possible.
mine is u9000 with MSM8225 chipset 2.3.5 firmware n .6.35.7 kernel
aurora is built for u8800 with MSM7230 chipset, similar firmware and kernel
however u8860, the source that aurora used, is with MSM8255 chipset, not sure about firmware and kernel.
read somewhere that ports are device specific, so to get it working on u9000, id have to port from aurora, and fix whatever that doesnt work.. correct me if i am wrong.. dev/porters please advise!
thanks!

you're right it may harm your phone
These are some changes I noticed on the new 4.1.2 XXDLL4 ROM released for India.
1- Better browser performance. Now I see the browser like a 'real' desktop. I always had flash player installed but there were annoying white empty spaces in some websites, but now there is no more.
- Browsermark results (mobile view)
(Desktop view)
2- There is a three dot icon while calling. Don't know what it does or it's meaning!
3- Obviously the most flashy feature is the introduction of ink effects!
Different colour options are available, if you like
4- You can edit notification panel now, add or delete as per your wish. You can now permanently disable the Mutliwindow too. So holding the back button won't enable it anymore.
5- AnTuTu benchmark, if anyone is interested.
6- The number format in SMS is weird! It splits the number! Bad.
7- Sorry I don't find the continuous input prediction to be better, nor Swyping.
8- There is a cursor control option in keyboard settings, however you won't be able to use it with Continuous input!
9- And I hate the new 'slim' clock font introduced. Loved the previous bold look WAY better!
10- And I think the S Note application is faster than before now. It'd take 3/4 seconds to create a new note before, and it seems faster now, say 30%? Or am I wrong?
11- When the font size was selected as Normal the cursor was not seen in some applications like Tapatalk and others, but now it is fixed
So if you guys are noticing anything else kindly share here.
I think that the spaces between numbers are good? Easy to read.
Mine is BTU, nothing yet on Kies

One thing I noticed, a VERY welcomed addition i might add, is the Gallery "ACTUALLY ASKED ME!" If I wanted my Facebook photos to appear or not! Thank god for that haha.
Is there any Lag?
Zooming in gallery was laggy in poland 4.1.2
is it the Same Here ?
Here's my list
1. Camera feature: Hold Volume to focus, release to take photo
2. Video feature: Press Volume to start recording, press again to toggle flash.
3. 480p Flash Video Works (if you have latest Flash Player 11.1.115.34 Installed)
4. New Samsung Keyboard Feature: Cursor Control, Continuous Input (If you didn't already have it)
5. Customized Notification Toggle Icons
6. New Notification Toggles: AllShare Cast, Smart Stay, S Bean, Driving Mode, Blocking Mode
7. Brightness slider can now be disabled, but who would do this?
8. Stock web browser rendering improvements, seems to load pages faster, but I can't say for sure.
9. Ink Effect with S Pen on Swipe lockscreen, and customizable ink colors.
10. Gallery in normal list mode is now 3d rendered. When you flick it fast, the photos tilt.
11. Brightness control notification disappears at 5% battery. Don't like!
12. New save option for HDR shooting mode for camera. Save HDR only.
13. Write notes to front of the picture with polaroid type frame...
14. Video Player app's alphabetization is fixed.
15. Screen capture icon for Video Player app is changed.
16. Multi Window with Video Player adds sharpening to entire screen.
17. Bug fixed when full screening Video Player from multi window (no more notification bar).
18. S Planner has new post-it option.
19. Groupcast
20. Vibration and pop noises when Email is hovered with S Pen in Email app.
21. Handwriting recognition bug fix where it used to only first take in a few strokes interpret only the first few letters, then resume, but it would mess you up in the process. No longer an issue.
22. Click on the picture of your contact, in Contacts app, and it is integrated with services such as facebook, skype, maps, etc.
23. Set music in slideshow in gallery? Was that there in 4.1.1?
24. The slideshow music plays when you choose "Play continuous shot" in Gallery with photos taken in continuous shot mode.
25. In landscape mode in Gallery, the last shared option icon is present next to standard share icon in gallery. This may have been there in 4.1.1. Just seeing it for the first time because I probably don't share photos often.

I anyone in the UK getting the USA voice in voice search? It started happening before the update and I still doing it, which makes me think it's something on the storage that's screwed up perhaps?

I did quadrant test after the update and NoteII stood number one in the list as compared to 2nd spot before update. Made me happy :3

Its the same if you update via odin (using full stock rom) or via OTA update/samsung kies. I tried both methods successfully and the rear camera & phone FW versions remain same (i.e. ZKF107 & ZKFJ03 respectively).

Hi everyone! Seems like Alcatel has released yet again, another performance update! This new update, build number 7SRA-UEA2 has the following changes:
General Performance Improvement: Overall software enhancements aimed at improving device responsiveness and overall user experience
IPv6 Support: Device now fully supports the Internet Protocol version to IPv6
Snapchat Performance Fix: Addresses crash issue when using Snapchat app that arose when users would swipe while selecting filters
Facebook Messenger Performance Fix: Users can now share recorded audio files via Facebook Messenger
Camera FV-5 Lite Application Fix: Fix that addresses the rear-facing camera functionality when using the Camera FV-5 Lite application
Also, Band 12 LTE is still enabled after this update. I can also confirm that the filters/crashing issues with Snapchat are indeed solved. Feel free to reply with your own experience below!
It would be nice if TCL would give a release date for an actual Android update.
I just got the update. Scrolling performance seems better and stock camera seems better. Anyone else notice any improvements?

What do you mean by freezing? Did you just install the update? My phone was freezing after the update just finished. It takes awhile for the phone to finish the initial configuration. After about 5mins. My phone started to work again.

Just got notification of the update. Need to charge my phone before downloading and installing it.
Want to read more reactions to this update also.
It was freezing for me right after the update finished. A few reboots later, it appears to have stabilized. The Recent Apps still has the lag - but other than that it is flying now ! I had to revert the animations to 1x !

Yeah recent apps still has lag, but I can live with that. As long as Alcatel keeps up with the updates.

Yeah, I noticed the "FlipCover" option also. http://www.alcatelonetouch.us/Aero-ALCATEL-ONETOUCH-5-5-inch-Smartphone/dp/B00ZAR87FI

I already had the Flip Cover option in my 6045Y since I first booted it (10-ish september, I guess?).
However, I can't install the OTA because I'm rooted, is there any system image or ZIP to just flash it? I don't care if I have to format it, I just don't want to unroot it to be able to install it.

It's to your advantage to actually INSTALL the update. Update's make changes to more partitions than just System and Boot which is what the TWRP images restore..they are great for fixing a hosed system partition but if you use them all the time you are going to miss out on newer radio drivers and other changes which may be required for things to work smoothly.
Do a full unroot from within supersu config...reboot...download and install the update...after sucessful reboot you can reflash TWRP(if replaced by factory recovery) and then flash the supersu zip file to re-enable root.
Instagram is still a stuttering mess.
GPS Icon bug and AM/PM lock screen misalignment are still present. Can't believe those two easily fixed things have made it past 3 updates.

GPS Icon issue happens on more devices than just the Idol however there is an xposed module to fix the issue.

This update thoroughly fixed the issues with Snapchat filters - works great now - but the stutters scrolling through Instagram are my one glaring issue with this phone. Also most videos in my Instagram feed won't play immediately and repeatedly flash a "repeat" or "play again" icon while loading the video, only to have most of the videos never actually play. I've never seen this app behavior on other Android phones.
Regarding the lock screen, I could swear they reduced the font size on the clock with this update (or I'm just now noticing the AM/PM misalignment?).
Can anyone confirm if this update fixed the wake-in-pocket issues some people were experiencing? I haven't had enough time to test.
i downloaded the update where is it located? so i can dig it up with es file explorer
Welp, phone unrooted, still can't find any update whatsoever. I'm using a "french" 6045Y BTW.
Any clue here?
PS: Flamewolf, a .zip package can also edit partitions on it's own accord, just because normal CROMS don't do that, it doesn't mean they CAN'T.
For practical example, just check out sdmerge for the E400. Do you think those .zip use magic to add 1 GB to your phone?
Still no update for 1st or second update in Eastern Europe (Croatia/Serbia/Bosnia)
