Another 4.1.2 update by the looks of things over on sammobile?
Probably not worth the excitement.
just app updates, nothing important,
it came out 2 months ago in some countries
Yeh,
Sucks!
My wife's tab 2 got 4.2 ages ago and this is still stuck getting minor updates which were out months ago in Germany.
Pretty poor support fir what was supposed to be a flagship...

4.2 is just full of bugs... better not get it, instead of crying after. !..
Is there any changelog? I received the update but I didnt install it yet because I didnt know if it was going to implement knox.

230 MB OTA and all it had in it was a few sub options under the Display settings :-/ I was expecting 4.2.2.. Very disappointing.. If this is how Samsung is gonna treat their old customers, I'm switching to Nexus..
I updated yesterday, and I noticed severe slowdowns when using lecture notes. What happens is that sometimes when I am writing, it stops tracing for some moments, and then it traces the rest. It happens often and is quite annoying.
Does someone else have the same problem?

Battery was horrible for me on this update even afteracouple of days and resetting battery history.. would last less than a day.. back on c3 firmware battery lasts a week with light use.

Pretty disappointed this is such a minor update. I tethered to my phone earlier so I could make an order from my tablet. Noticed some time later it had downloaded this update without warning and chewed through a good chunk of my data!
Sad to hear the battery life isn't improved.

It's one of the older updates i guess so the battery life should ideally be an issue and a lot worse than 4.1.1.

The 4.1.2 BTU update for the UK is XXDMB2 , its PDA is N7100XXDMB2, this makes it a bit behind XXDMB4.

I would. You might get lower battery life for a while, but this has the SDS fix in it as far as I know, and I'd MUCH rather be protected from my device turning into a paperweight than just running low on juice...
And sure, I could use a custom ROM, but I happen to like the stock ones. Serves all my needs perfectly.

Some guys attribute the increased battery use to the media scanner which runs randomly and drains the battery life
Also i believe that the screen brightness at max setting had been increased to like 300% of what it was in 4.1.1

The 4.1.1 ROM's have a critical bug that can cause your device to randomly just die, for no apparent reason, and it's not fixable once it happens. You'd have to return it to Samsung. This is the SDS bug, Sudden Death Syndrome.
The 4.1.2 ROM's have a fix for this, as do pretty much all the custom ROM's as well.
Personally, I'd much rather have reduced battery life and relief from the worry that my device could just randomly die.
Can you please post the modem version to this update.

Thanks for the info, i'm certain that is what happened to my phone. I was on 4.1.1 stock uk rom. Its been fixed by samsung now, just waiting for it to be sent back, they said they replaced system board. Be interesting to see if they have updated to 4.1.2 for me.
Ive been browsing through the various note 8 topics and im seeing lots of problems being reported about 4.2.2. Things like Spen inaccuracy, smart dock not working after update, multiwindow problems etc.
Ive just rooted my note on 4.1.2 and i find my note to be quick and reliable, im just thinking is it really worth unrooting my perfectly working note 8 to update and get what seems a worse experience, then have to reroot it seems like alot of faffing about for no real improvement.
What are the new additions in 4.2 that make it worth while? (i have no use for multiuser).

There's also issues with the screen freezing every so often... Well, not really freezing but more like it doesn't recognize touch inputs for 1-3 seconds.
I'd recommend sticking with 4.1.2 til they can fix everything.

If you are happy with your Note then I would suggest staying where you are for now.
Especially if you use the Multimedia Dock. I believe the Spen issue has been or is being corrected in the custom ROMS however Stock ROMS are waiting for an official update.
For me personally, I decided to jump to 4.2.2 since I do not use the Spen and the UI improvements are noticeable enough that I found it hard to go back to 4.1.2 once I got used to them. The Music widget on the lock screen is my most favorite new feature.
Rooting 4.2.2 is exactly the same as 4.1.2 it takes only a minute or two. Good Luck on your decision.

The screen freezing is a problem with 4.1.2, it is fixed in 4.2.2.
I have`t so problem with 4.2.2... of course I don't use multimedia dock... other things I think better than 4.1.2

Ah I should've paid closer attention to his signature. The bug exists on the N5110, unsure about the 5100.

Mine is choppy (low frame rate) occasionally - it was more noticeable during the recent halloween event. Seems ok now since the thanksgiving update.
It does crash quite frequently though - maybe one out of every three or four sessions.
I play daily and it crashes at least once every time I play it. Used to have sgs4 I337 running gpe Roms and it wouldn't work at all. Warrantied a bad headset speaker and here I am. The new sgs4 AT&T sent me had a locked boot loader and no root android 4.3. I didn't want a galaxy phone so sold it for 400 bought the nexus 5.
Level 37 now. Same as zulugod stated was laggy with Halloween update, better now.

Hey guys.
Not sure if I'm posting in the right place but I've got to find out if it's just me!
Updated about 2 weeks ago to 4.2.2 via OTA and my battery life has dropped drastically.
The one thing I've always loved about the note series is the massive battery and the note 3 didn't disappoint until recently.
The phone used to last anything upto 20 hours with fair usage but since the update I get no longer than about 3-4 hours!
I'm not rooted and I've even performed a factory reset on my device and not installed any apps.
I've even turned cellular data off and left the phone in my pocket without even unlocking it yet still only 2 - 3 hours life.
Anyone else having the same issue or know of any solution?
I appreciate that downgrading back to 4.2.2 isn't possible but surely there must be something else I can do?
any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Note my screen shot of firmware version for you guys to compare.

Are you serious, from 20 hour to 3-4 hours? That is very strange. I am still on 4.3 but waiting for 4.4.2 for my region, what region version are you using?
Yeah can't believe it either. I've had to use a second phone just for work purposes.
I'm in the UK with an unlocked handset. Just received the update OTA.

Im having the very same problem. There are various posts on the net about it on various forums but there seems to be no definitive fix. Very Odd because it definately is affecting a large number of people - but here on xda - dev there dont seem to be too many?
Hi,
A couple of days ago I updated my S5 to G900FXXU1ANE2 with Kies 3 from my PC.
I've noticed worse battery life, but I guess its too early to judge so I'll give it a week or so and a few more cycles.
However, I have noticed that during ALL games the battery gets ridiculously hot. I've never had this on any previous firmware updates. If its related to the flash/firmware then I am tempted to go back as it never used to get hot and battery life was a couple of days.
I know there will be some stock answers advising me to do a factory reset, but I'd really rather not.
Cheers,
GG
Same here..my screen gets very hot since update

I had strange battery life, too.
"Multimedia" drained my battery and phone became hot!
It seems that there is a scan of every media on SD after update..
Today I have another problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2737673
EDIT: Multimedia started again draining my battery.. I can't believe it..!!!
Noticed my battery life isn't as good after the update either. Not noticed any difference heat wise though.

Kill the bluetooth test process, it causes a damned large amount of wakelocks.... that helped a lot for me.
Also NFC despite being turned off, it was causing some wakelocks for me.

Change to the All tab in the Application Manager and scroll, it should be below bluetooth share and it will have Force Stop enabled.
Got it. The only thing is that it will restart after every reboot because you can't disable it. I switch my phone off at night. Will force stop and see if it improves my battery life though.

Heres to hoping that Samsung release another update to resolve this.
Its a shame coz on the previous firmware the battery life was awesome.
