If you're a Samsung Galaxy S3 user in Canada and you still haven't gotten around to using that leaked Android 4.2.2 firmware from a few days ago, an official software update released earlier today might just be the next best thing.
According to a recent report published online at Mobile Syrup, a new software update has been pushed out for users of the Galaxy S3 through Kies as well as through over-the-air (OTA) download channels. This software update is a rather small one, but still useful in that it introduces a few much-needed improvements. The update is said to offer improved download speeds when using HSPA+ network coverage and the still-ongoing E911 dialing issue that's being affected by the usage of third-party VoIP apps.
Users who have already updated their phones to the new software — which is tagged as Android 4.1.2, version MVLDMF1 — also say that Multi-window support is now available, and responsiveness has also been improved when it comes to navigating the Gallery.
To get in on this software update, either get it through Kies or simply start the OTA update procedure. The update is currently available for users under Bell, Fido, Koodo, MTS, Rogers, and TELUS.

I don't know... I post this because update is released... They said so...

Probably a certain Candian carrier that's been stuck with 4.0.4 up until now.

T-Mobile OTA for Stagefright

Woke up this morning to find an OTA to fix Stagefright from T-Mobile. It's still 5.0.1 and it doesn't look like it fixes all the vulnerabilities. It does up the baseband version which hopefully will fix some issues I've been having with receiving SMS messages .

Downloaded it, haven't noticed anything different yet. Lag is still mostly there.

The OTA seems to be 148MB, but the N915TUVU1BOG2 update is 1.82GB.
EDIT:
nevermind, i think the OTA is just the new files which made up BOG2.

Downloaded the update and the Stagefright detector app still says my phone is vulnerable...uh what?

YesSir ! _ same here. I wiped my phone and installed the full N915TUVU1BOG2 rom - the two Goole Playstore Apps "certif-gate scanner" and "StageFright Detector" still reports the phone is vulnerable.
So I wiped the phone again and installed the previous full rom: N915TUVU1BOD7 and after that did the T-Mobile OTA update (148MB) to BOG2 - same problem - the phone is still vulnerable.
I do not know who to believe - the apps or T-Mobile/Samsung.
Can anyone tells us techies "were to look for the vulnerablilities" - I did Google searches - but is seems like no-one really knows what to look for..... (or else I just keep missing it). I found some apk's referred to on some LG devices, but I could not find those apk's on my Samsung phones.

I used a Rooted app from some Dev on the Playstore for $1...to not only detect but to block

ATT ota update today (10/9)

I am getting an ota update from ATT right now. It is 697.51 MB.

@rvb1, any details? Screenshots, changelog?

I'm also receiving the update hope it's 5.1

Downloading now, will update...

I can confirm it is the 5.1.1 update. The difference in how the phone is performing is spectacular!

It's 5.1.1

I took it this morning and can confirm the it is 5.1.1.
I've been slammed at work today, so I haven't had an opportunity to screw around with it yet.

Took 8 hours to download. It's 5.1.1.

Mine only took less than an hour to download.

THANK YOU & CONGRATULATIONS TO AT&T FOR RELEASING THE NEW LOLLIPOP 5.1.1 UPDATE FOR THE NOTE 4 & THE NOTE EDGE ON OCTOBER 9TH 2015, MUCH NEEDED.
GO GET YOURS & TELL US WHAT YOU THINK OF IT

I tried downloading 3 times. Each time it reboots and says install interrupted, unable to update. Seems many are having the same problem.

Yep, same error here. I wonder if the people having the problem have their phones encrypted? Mine is, and fails every time.. :crying:

So, once you guys get updated, I highly recommend doing a factory reset afterwards. My battery drain I had after the update is gone now. The phone isn't getting hot anymore either.

I contacted AT&T and they suggested it. If you have not been able to update, clear your cache and remove a few apps. I did that and now I have 5.1.1.

Indian Note5 First to get Marshmallow

I can't post the image because of linking restrictions, but the roadmap Samsung has for Marshmallow updates has the Indian Note5 (SM-N920G) at the top.
Any fellow Indians digging the roadmap? How long do the carriers in the USA normally take to update to the next generation of Android?

Here is the roadmap:

Package Disabler Pro Samsung

Just bought this how are you finding it? I haven't used it yet but was wondering if it was affecting update...Got the S7 Edge OXA manufactured 26/5/2016 on January 3rd from CPW was unlocked got 7.0 update straight away but fast charge wouldn't work and normal charge took 10 hours so they replaced it yesterday with XEU manufactured 14/1/2017 now I'm back on 6.0.1 with no update...Are there better options?

If you're talking about the app by Police Developer (there seem to be multiple apps with very similar names), I find it broken. It was working fine on MM, then I upgraded to Nougat, and it tells me I don't have a license and can't activate it. Which is BS, because I paid for it months ago. No response from the developer at all.
