Just got a 7.45MB quick update that had the standard update message - "Stability and security fixes are included. Thank you for choosing Samsung!"
I think it might have fixed the screen mirroring cannot be started bug - haven't had any trouble with it after the update, whereas before it would mostly fail.
Edit: Also noticing a recurrence of Chromecast notifications when casting. Those disappeared after the last update. I think. No crashes so that's great.
Just got the update too. I'm able to screen mirror to my roku3, whereas before the update I'd get hardware errors. Movies now stream, though it gets pixalated. Think that's cause miracast is still in beta for Roku's.
I haven't been able to try out the screen mirroring functions, but I'm glad to say that the homescreen seems more responsive after the update.

I played a full H264 movie on my Microsoft DisplayAdapter and it did not appear pixelated but the tablet was bit slow when the movie was playing- I've got a Roku3 as well, will try it out later.
Battery life seems to be somewhat better after the update - drain is less when using the screen and the tablet continues to be smooth.

Yep, got the OTA yesterday, not sure what it changes. There was also an OTA for the Tab Pro 8.4, but that one was larger.
Updated last night from NI1. Small bug fix update I'm guessing. Hope it'll fix the sound glitch I've experienced a couple times.

What is your glitch? I get something that happens once in a while where the sound is very low resolution and sounds over modulated.
Seems to happen most after playing Clash of Clans.
I've had it do that once and I've had it sound "sped up" once.
And now there's a 4+ Mb CNK2 update. This is more update than I am used to from Samsung. Hopefully this continues and we get to 5.0.4 fairly sooner than usual
No idea what the update actually fixes.
No official samsung changelog?

Just got another update today. K2 at the end of the release and still 4.4.2.
Not much for details included in the description on the update notification, just software enhancement and bug fixes.
Happy to report that NK1 & NK2 are both still rootable with the cf-auto-root made for 4.4.2.
Also, I might be imagining it, but it seems like battery life is better on NK2, especially standby time. CPU is definitely entering deep sleep more often than on any other KitKat build for this device.

Typing lag still present
Please add your findings!
UPDATE: Thanks to one of our members @Fixter for finding this on the Internet!
"Asus has release a new Firmware Over The Air (FOTA) update for Asus Eee Pad Transformer… Sadly this is not Android Honeycomb 3.2 update and nothing new for the keyboard dock also… According to the report all around the world the new update increase the volume sound, smooth transition between home screens and an option to disable pop-up notification when not using Asus Keyboard while docking…"

Thanks jviola, everyone keep your findings coming!
Overall its a welcomed update, everything seems to run smoother now, I have a feelig this upate was designed to path the way for 3.2 ( that would explain why we can use the Netflix app but not stream).

Yes, some of the findings may be placebo effects but when everyone chimes in, we will be able to sort out the real changes. That is the idea of the thread.
The Netflix app shows my queue, allows me to search and add to my queue, has recommendations, etc. It's just that when I go to play a movie it spins and then says there is a network error. I think we're getting Netflix very, very soon.

Could be, but I know I was getting a bit frustrated with overall performance (delays, lags, hesitation, etc.) and don't seem to feel the same way now. I do think things are a bit smoother, but that could also just be the post-update effect. We'll see how it runs after a few days of use.
is the market still not showing movies?

Homescreen switching seems smoother, but that could definitely be placebo.
I had an issue where if the tablet was docked to the keyboard and I flip it open, the screen wouldn't read the unlock pattern for the first second or two (green lines don't show up over the dots and nothing happens). This appears to be fixed.
@jhanford reported in the "Just Got an OTA Update" thread:
So this is easily more than just a kernel update.
In addition to the kernel, there's 94 patches in /system/app alone with another 80 patches throughout the rest of the filesystem!
That's pretty impressive for an interim release especially if they do release 3.2 in the next couple of weeks.
Awesome!
The only thing I noticed out of everything is better wifi signals (through speedtests and router signal checking). I don't really know much about the rest since I took the OTA and selectively applied some patches to my Prime 1.5 ROM by using bsdiff to apply the .p files. (it has to be done with the original 8445 files, not prime 1.5 files because some prime 1.5 files are based on 8447 CN, bsdiff patch files doesn't have a md5 or crc32 hash stored on the patch file so it doesn't check for original file integrity before patching)
The update most definitely fixed my deep sleep/power on issue. A single press of the power button brings my Transformer to attention now...every time. Prior to the update, I had to press the power button multiple times.
Homescreen transitions are also very smooth now.
Im still on 3.0 it never wants to update Idk why. Any suggestion

Thanks for the info. Updating now. Will let you know if I find anything new....

I wonder if there are any apps (or easy way) to actually measure the performance of apps and operations on device so we can capture baseline with each update and then compare it when next update arrive. This way we can be 100% assure. It would be good to have on non-rooted device.

Kies vs OTA?
I found the LB2 update via Kies yesterday. The initial download took around 3 minutes , the second step took over 30 minutes but did not complete .
I did an OTA update today, and the whole process was done in 10 mins.
What is the difference in the Kies update method vs OTA , why does Kies require more files to update?
Kies replaces complete firmware(abt 550MB) while OTA, just modified/added files only. Size of the OTA update depends on changes in ROM

Are you sure? I got the OTA just now and I can still see the lag.
The startup is very fast in standby. Before this, after pressing home button I had wait for few seconds before the swipe to unlock screen appears. Now it is almost less than a second. Overall performance is also faster.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Wonder why I am still seeing the lag. My device is pretty much untouched. Didn't even root yet.
EDIT:
I noticed a pattern. If I have an active download in progress (thereby having the "downloading" icon on notification bar), the wake up lag is gone. In normal conditions the lag is still there.
Similarly when the charger is plugged in, there is no lag. Once I take it out, the lag is back.
Looks like the system shouldn't be totally idle for the wakeup lag to disappear.
It is called a wipe, it clears trash from last fw and it is good. You will spent a hour or so to restore your accounts but it is worth it.

I did wipe the cache on stock recovery but that didn't remove the lag. I don't want to wipe the data and start all over.
I just hope ICS for Note is around the corner.

Hello guys.. updating in curse...
Must root again after this?
Also just finished installing. Stalled on me once but just restarted the download and it was fine after that.
PRISM toggle is in SHIELD Power Control setting just FYI, not Display settings like I first expected. When you disable it there is a warning that says:
We recommend that you keep PRISM turned ON for optimum power savings and image quality.

I'm curious to hear if anyone else experiences any extra power drain. I will post if I do. Also anyone have any idea what the other generic "improvements" and "optimizations" are? Definitely hope the WiFi generally is a little better and that it isn't a hardware issue for the poor signal issues I and others have been having.

Hmm, thats still not good that you can do that at all but is that happening when you have a more natural grip just on the sides as well or sitting on a table? Nobody is probably suffocating it other than to test the interference, though like you said still not good.
Also are you connected to 5ghz or 2.4ghz. I know 5ghz has more issues with range and walls so maybe theres less if its a 2.4ghz connection. 5ghz is obviously preferable but just thinking out loud. Can't do tests myself until work gets out.
Yeah that was using 5g although I'll give the 2g a try as well.

IMO this the same as Q build but for folks like me and many others who could not install becase old recovey. I dont see many changes yet - browsing still drains like 1% every two minutes making this tablet piece of useless electronics.

I'm going to assume you haven't investigated what is causing your wakelocks. because that is abnormal drain time for any device. you are on lollipop, running old KitKat and donut software most likely . there are a number of free LP compatible wake lock analyzing options out there. solve your problems (in turn, help others with same issue), or consider going back to a pager.

Yeah I'm aware of such software and using it on my 1+1. However I wanted to at least try to use my Nexus 9 as "normal user" would do for the first time. Browsing still drains ridiculous amount of battery however I confirm that it is now much better on R build. And heating is much less.
Ps never owned a pager
any improvement on screen flicking?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
I got tired of waiting for Google to issue a working OTA for those of us stuck on LRX21L so I flashed the LRX21R factory image. I'm very happy with it and am glad I took plunge. Noticeable improvements on smoothness. Device still gets hots at times but its improved IMO.
FYI.. I tried following googles instruction for flashing the image. It didn't work.. It crapped out on the SYSTEM.IMG.
Manually flashing each of the IMG files went fine though and all is now working great.
Lastly,
I'd like to point out the the device restore feature worked much better than I had hoped. It even managed to keep app data settings on a couple of apps (that don't have sign in accounts).

As mentioned in the root or update thread, the OTA updates contain only patches to the binary code and not full source. It'll have to come from Alcatel.

I am not sure if it is just me - but at least this part is NOT fixed. clearing open apps still has the same stutter that it had before. I restored the animation scale back to 1x and that has not changed anything. Maybe that is how it is supposed to be.
The app launching appears to have improved *slightly* . Whether double tap is more reliable remains to be seen. The update did not reset my launcher setting i.e. it did not revert to the stock launcher .
Overall - so far , I am not seeing anything worth getting too excited about - Not so far at least.
BTW - just to confirm - I now have Android version = 5.0.2 Kernel version = 3.10.49 Build number = 7SQR-UER0

Same here, not too much difference noted with this update. Anyone know if Alcatel includes a changelog someplace with these updates?
I feel differently. This update, so far, is great. The lag I had previously is nearly gone and installing apps is much much faster. DTTW has worked everytime (only tried about 7-8 times so far) unlike previously when it hardly ever worked. I don't notice anything different on the camera but I've only played with it for a short period. I've not used this phone as a daily driver since I got it in May because of the user experience, it just lagged and I hate lag - especially compared to my LG G2. Today however, I put my sim card in and will give it a true test, being the daily driver.
I was going to return it initially but held onto it waiting for an update and glad I did. I simply couldn't understand why this phone was not at least as fast (or faster) than my LG G Pro Or HTC One M7 since both of them are running the Snapdragon 600 (vs 615) and slower GPU. Plus both are also running pretty heavy skins yet both were way faster/smoother than the Idol 3. It had to be software and optimization which seems to be what this update addresses. The screen and speakers on this phone are to die for and I'm glad it's now able to be used effectively. I may think differently in a day or so after a real world test but for now I'm excited about this little guy.
I just got the update this morning, and my initial reaction is pretty good. The phone just feels snappier overall. The notification shade seems to come down very smooth all the time now. Previously, when the keyboard was open, the notification shade would drop a lot of frames when you pulled it down. The camera seems to be doing a better job of getting the correct point of focus too. Also, double tap to wake actually works now! This is huge for me because it only worked about once out of ten tries for me before. I'm happy.
Edit: I'm also seeing about 1.5GB of extra free storage. I wonder if the phone wasn't properly moving apps to the sd card before. I have about 12 games installed, and I have them all moved to the sd card.

Looks like you guys had the update we got last week in europe. It runs much better , cleaning apps doesn't lag anymore and everything runs smoother.
For the people still having problems can you confirm you're in 5.0.2-010 03 ?
