Anybody get a message about a mandatory voicemail update? I tried updating and it keeps failing.
Yeah I updated it and it installed. It would continue to bug the crap out of me if I kept saying no. Regardless, I use Google voice for voicemail anyways.

Thanks! since you said you got it to update, I figured it would be related to some sprint app I froze in TitaniumBackup. I unfroze it all, rebooted and it updated successfully.
As far as I know every new phone has that mandatory upgrade, my step-son's Transform did, my wife's Shift did and my Hero did after the swap out (and I bet my Shift will when I get it tomorrow). It should work, just don't exit out of the status screen when you're downloading it, if you hit home or go to another app it will fail.
got the same update and installed just fine. Besides the voice to text, not much is new...
it took me 10 or so trys before mine worked. I updated my PLM first before it actually worked. pretty annoying.
Does anyone know if this might undo root? I just got this notification but I don't wanna install any updates til I know its cool for sure

it won't bother root
It will bug you forever with a new "Try our FREE new voicemail to text demo" button on every single voicemail you listen to, though. Wish I could just go back to the old version without hard resetting. It's like having a Sprint ad on every voicemail. (edit: it's free for a month, then $2 a month thereafter)

I was able to delete that little ad just like any other voicemail and don't get bothered by it any more. Do other people have this problem too? I must be just missing it or something.
Edit - I thought you meant the actual message...
I flashed the Evo(Shift)Nonsense rom a couple of days ago and had this same problem with the update failing repeatedly. Eventually I had had enough and on a whim I found the backup of the updated voicemail apk from when I was still on stock and installed it...viola no more nags and the VVM is updated. File attached if you want to try it...
Haha awesome..thanks!

thx ! i been trying to get rid of that nagging mandatory update notifcation all day! finally got vvm working on a GB rom on evo
If you deleted the Sprint Updater app, the upgrade will have a general failure. Toss that apk back into system/apps, reboot, and it updates fine
Thanks alot hdmunger! That .Zip worked for me!
Just letting the 3g download the update has always fixed the issue for me
Hello guys, im the developer of Root Call Blocker, an advanced call and SMS blocking app for rooted phones.
The app is currently in open beta here at XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1051274
I dont have a Desire and need testers! Please let me know if you are interested in some hard-core testing and logging...
Updated, let me know if your issues are fixed please!
Hi guys, any feedback on the latest version of the app? We are just about to release an update...
Its working very well. Surely a must-have for rooted phones.
Good to know - any feedback? Suggestions?
In any case, outstanding issues have been fixed. Please update to 1.5.5 and let me know if your issues are solved. Its important we get some feedback guys!
Im on 159 and its been working flawlessly for a month or so!
We have just made lots of additions, Update please if you havent already please!
1.6.2 is the latest build!
App has been updated! Let me know if it fixes issues youve been having please!
This is awesome!
Enjoy... and remember, an update is always just around the corner! If you have problems, use "Write to us" in Settings!
Could you guys please test the following behavior for me:
1. How the app behaves when a blocked number attempts to connect during call waiting
2. How a blocked caller is handled when "Dont answer" is set as the reject method and you are currently on the phone and have not enabled blocked call vibrate notifications within the app itself
Dont forget to send logs with descriptions as well
Come on people, i really need some feedback on this!
Nothing to report then?
Nope - no news is good news
Thanks, could you please test the behavior i described above?
Come on, i need feedback!
Hows it going guys? Any issues?
Guys, an update has been rolled out. It contains an important new workaround thast needs to be tested.
It may help those people who have data issues, especially on LTE enabled phones sometimes.
Please help me test this by installing the app, rebooting and waiting for data to return with the screen on. Please wait 3 minutes at least before sending logs via "Write to developer" in the app.
Dont forget to include a description. Thanks!
ill install it tom,will post findings shortly
Hi.
I don't know if I'm in the right place because I'm in canada and have the 900w8 (with Wind/Freedom) but anyway, just bought my Note 3 recently and I see no Mobile Data shortcut on the Notification panel and it seems this was a common problem after some update and I couldn't find any fixes for this. Also, the phone has Android version 5, which I know isn't the latest version but looks like there will be no updates for us.
So, any way I can get the Data shortcut, or maybe the android 6 version? My phone is stock everything.
Thanks.

I am surprised that it does not show
I found a screenshot of Lollipop and it does show the mobile data shortcut.
Best I can tell you is to flash with Odin stock 5.0, but other than that, I do not know how you could fix it. Or just root it and try a custom ROM if that is something so important to you.
Thanks again for the reply and the suggestions, man. Yeah I don't know why this is happening with the Note 3s but like I said this was a common problem after some update. I've never rooted or flashed any phone and I don't know if I want to do this. So, looks like I have to live with this inconvenience. It also looks like I won't be able to swipe down to access shortcuts unless I unlock the screen. On my Moto E (Android 6) I'm able to do that without having to unlock the screen. That's another inconvenience.

Is that the case? I am not on stock anymore, but I think I remember it was possible if I just had the lockscreen to "swipe".
But then again, it could be a difference between Android 5 and 6
Flashing is an intimidating task and requires a lot of research but not as much as you may think.
Anyway, I'm not going to grind on that suggestion. Best I can tell you now is, enjoy your Note 3 experience

Yeah I guess I'm stuck with what I have for now (no Data shortcut and no swiping with locked screen) but I don't know why I can't get an update (Android 6) for the Note 3.
Thanks anyways for the reply.
There's 10,000 slots available instead of the Sammobile reported 7500 slots available. Once you click a few agreements, you get in automatically but then nothing happens. You have to force the update by going into Settings\Software update. The update happens normally then. The settings menu has changed quite a bit, Oreo is MUCH snappier (especially reboots), and some icons have changed. The warning in the last screenshot comes up automatically about 20 seconds after each reboot. Good luck getting in!!! :highfive:

The OTA downloads to the /cache folder which non-rooted users don't have access to. I wasn't rooted and I don't think you can be in order to join the Beta. Trust me, Sammobile would have posted it already if this was possible.

You have to be either a T-Mobile or Sprint customer or have the unlocked model. It won't appear for anyone else. It will ONLY show up in the Samsung+ app. If you don't see it on the main screen, use the 3 dot menu on the left to see if it shows up there like the screenshot I posted.
I would love to get my hands on the radio and at least flash the modem. Would that work?

Sure, you could flash the modem if anyone could get the OTA but I'm pretty sure it'd be quite difficult. Since we're not rooted, you'd literally have to catch the OTA transmitting over your WiFi network onto your PC and then extract it. Which reminds me....
@bogdi1988 - Perhaps it's not showing up for you because you're not connected to a WiFi network. Make sure you're logged in to your Samsung account in Galaxy Apps and that all your Samsung Apps are up to date (the only way they update is when on WiFi.) Then check the Samsung+ app to see if it shows up for you. Hope this helps.

What about the basic stuff like: adb logcat > file.txt
Then check for updates, extract the url and manually download the OTA?

Samsung account signed in. All apps are updated. Tried wireless and cell signal and no prompt. Reinstalled the app a few times. Still nothing.

I updated hours ago and have rebooted several times since updating. I don't think I'd have a chance of finding the file name at this point. It would've been best to start a logcat right before initializing the OTA.

My "upgrade" did not go well. Turns out that package disabler pro is not playing nice with this update. I kept getting Android system has stopped and couldn't even load the main home screen. I gave up finally and hard reset and resintalled all my apps. I also had a pretty bad problem with the battery draining faster than it was charging on a wall plug. Factory reset was a pain to reinstall everything (still ongoing as I need apps, I reinstall them) but the battery issue has disappeared. Can't tell if WiFi is any better. Opinions on this release would be most welcome.

You're complaining about a third party app that disables stock apps that is NOT updated to support Oreo yet not playing nice with a Beta build??? Absurd. I'm quite sure the upgrade went as smoothly for everyone else as it did me.
As for my feedback, I haven't noticed a single hiccup with the build. It doesn't feel like a Beta. It seems like it could've been a final/official build.
Samsung+ never showed the update to me. Oh well. :crying:
Yes, I'm on T-Mobile S8+ in US.

It's not about "showing" it to you. They're pushing it to almost everyone. I spoke with 3 other guys who signed up and registered through the Samsung app and it pushed it on the next update.

So you see, I don't think my Samsung account is registered to their Beta program. I have never seen links to do so.
I guess as a small consolation, Samsung/TMo pushed a Nougat update out: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955U/TMB/download/G955USQU1AQJ8/193749/

LOL, that wasn't a "complaint" that was an observation. As noted by the no complaint and an observation comment. As far as not noticing it's a beta, would that be between the 15 or so times per minute that the software pops up a warning that this is beta software and may not work as well as expected and may cause problems? That not obvious it's a beta message? Also, the bad battery drain was an issue. That shouldn't happen no matter what.

What's the difference between N950USQU2BQJA and N950USQS2BQK2 ? I just got the first update 2 days ago and just got the second one just now. But can't find any information on it.
Im wondering the same thing.. An update a day after the other update? Sounds like someone broke something or did an Oopsie.
First update had the October security update and camera enhancements, the second update is the November security update.

Unfortunately, the update borked my phone -- I just get a black screen with a message "System UI has stopped" -- when I click it off the screen, it comes back a second later. I saw in another forum that perhaps substratum is the culprit -- anyone have any ideas on a fix? I know that the phone is working to some degree, my Huawei watch is still connected and I get notifications on it. But I can't really access the phone at all, only black screen and error messages. Also, I have tried safe mode and I get the same issue -- which tells me that it shouldn't be a substratum issue since safe mode deactivated 3rd party apps, but who knows? Thanks in advance.

I had the same issue like u after the update. if u do have a substratum theme installed then that's most likely your issue. Luckily for me I had usb debugging on and I was able to adb and uninstall the theme systemui by running these command through adb.
adb shell
pm uninstall com.android.systemui.SwiftDark.Android7SamsungS8

Anytime you do an OTA the Substratum app developers suggest uninstalling all of the themes. Nothing is broke on the device it's just causing an issue with seeing the home screen/settings.
This is also why using ADB to uninstall the layers would fix the issue.
Just for future reference for everyone.
