new update via OTA

I got this update this morning via OTA.
XWKI1
Android version2.3.4
XWKI1

lolololololol

What firmware were you on before?

try plugging in to kies to see what it says?

XXKF3
If you could remember i was on this Dummy update so i decided to go back to xxkf3 this morning . Immediately after installing through odin i checked for update via OTA and i got this

Nothing here,i run KE7 2.3.3

Has anyone else got it ?

Somehow you have ended up with a test phone i reckon .
jje

You mean the phone i bought from very.co.uk for 600pounds with my own money should be a test phone.

You are lucky, on the Sensation forums there was a guy who bought a Sensation and got by accident an eng off, rooted phone whilst the rest of the world was stuck with a locked bootloader.
I guess for devs your phone could be worth more than what you paid for it

Well maybe am lucky. I was wondering really why i get the update before everybody. The last time was xxkh5 which samsung manage to change to a dummy update. But this time i have learnt my leason .

what provider you you have? csc?

Do a system dump of the firmware!!!!

We think that these updates are only meant for Samsung staff and some how your phone got added to the list of test phones -- it explains why you and nobody else gets them.
My guess this happen because you installed a leaked firmware from samfirmware.com. Remember these leaked firmware could be test builds for internal staff use only. May be something happened on this leaked firmware that got your phone added to the list of staff test phones.
Are there any new great and wonderful features you can see in this update? (It could be months and months before they release any updates for the rest of us!)

Tweet from Samfirmware.com: First roms with Android 2.3.5 for Galaxy S II will be online this month.
Robbielicious has got the leaked firmware, but it's not yet ready for release: "in my possesiosn but in my believe not worthy o releasing just yet"
Darky's crew are now working with Samfirmware.com (i9000 version released about an hour ago) so I imagine the i9100 version will be released as soon as it is ready.

The ki1 update
The update is quiet good. The new goodies on the update are something
1. on the top where the 3g is , we have h+ and R . It really helps me a lot because formally when i visit our basement at my working place i normally lost connection. after i have to reboot my phone but in this case no more rebooting. The batterie life is very amaizing. Internet super fast.
Thanks samsung for the great work done.

What a joke dude!

ah, i'm jealous. In NZ we are still on 4.0.4. all contact with samsung returns the usual they don't know when NZ will get an update, they've stopped replying to my emails after their last snarky one telling me that when an update is ready it will get it and to stop asking. Only ask once a month :laugh:

They need to make translations for specific countries,or another reason.there is always paperwork,even though it is stupid,and not needed in this case.

I also do not understand the update policy from Samsung. It can not be so hard to roll out a fix for all at the same time(nearly).

i personally find Samsung update policy to be retarded. Acer were able to announce a month or so out when an update would be available, at least Acer Australia would, they might miss the mark by a week or two, but they put that out there. Samsung NZ says they are not advised of when an update will take place until the week it will be released in NZ.
At least to me this is where Apple and Windows are better, they roll out an update it goes to everyone regardless of country and carrier in the case of phones. Android the developers and the carriers screw around to where updates can take half a year to reach the product once Google release it.
weird that you have to wait 5 minutes to edit a mistake out of a post. ok for new members but when you have been a member for over a year.

Well SAMSUNG said that the 4.2 will come until September,so i am using PAC until that moment
I was talking to my friend who owns an iphone 5 and the tab 10.1,and he agreed that SAMSUNGs policy with updating,and updating between devices is crappy.And he laughed when i explained how my 2 gen tab will end on the same upgrade like his 1st gen tab :silly:

this question is for every one of you, who have posted in the thread, above me & also to other people using the GT-I9500.
I am very much interested in buying the S4 Indian version but read a few issues on the net which have stopped me from buying the phone till date. the issues are :
1. Questionable Exynos5 chipset & the big.LITTLE not switching between the 2 Quad Core Processors resulting in the next issues
2. Overheating problem.
3. Sudden Battery Drain.
I'd like to know if these issues were experienced by almost all the GT-I9500 owners and, have the issues been taken care of by the latest Firmware Updates.
Thanks :fingers-crossed:

I did see the link u gave and honestly i dont understand this much abt the phone i m a heavy user and keep changing my devices frequently last 4 days i m using HTC ONE and will be back again with S4 cmng week as waitng for I9505 Variant
All that i can say is S4 and Htc one is by far the best & fastest devices i have used and both has its pros and cons and i still like bth of them
If u want more features S4 u get if u want better build and more optimized software HTC one is for u
By no mean i m saying S4 is not good just that we still need some more updates so the devices becomes best
And Ya this is the first time Samsung is releasing the updates pretty fast like 3 times in month so u can guess they are working hard to sort out all the issues people are complaining abt the S4
Hope this helps

Hiten,
If you are getting GT-I9505, nothing like it. for me it's the best phone at the moment. The problem is that it's not available in India. I have thought of buying it from the US & getting the product shipped through comgateway.com. that's only a thought till now. How are you getting the S4 shipped to you?

how much are you paying for the i9505 in the US? as I said earlier, I am researching my options on US based sites & might get it via websites like comgateway, ishopinternationl etc.

[Q] AT&T S4 Manual Updates...

Hello...
I am new to this forum & this is my first post... I have an AT&T S4 Model Samsung-SGH-I337 running Android Version 4.2.2... I purchased the phone about a year or more ago from an AT&T Store for $700... At the time I also signed up for AT&T Service to give it a try and to have them give me the UNLOCK CODE which they did... I then dropped AT&T during the 2 week trial period and never went back... I have NO Voice Plan... NO Data Plan... NO AT&T PLAN AT ALL... I use the phone via WiFi to control lots of Home Automation & IP Cameras & to take some pictures... I do have a OneSimCard SIM that I use while traveling around the world and also at home in the USA... I make very few phone calls so the OneSimCard system works cheap & GREAT for me... I LOVE the S4 and I LOVE the OneSimCard System... Neither has ever failed me... The problem is that since I do not have any AT&T account I cannot get the AT&T Android Updates OTA... I have tried using KIES but the updates are not there as best I can tell... I have been told by Best Buy (I am there a lot) that they will do a free Manual AT&T Android Update for me via some system they have but I do not like someone else fooling around with my phone... The question is... Can I somehow reliably update the Android Version and maintain the AT&T firmware by doing it myself???... Basically, I want the updates that AT&T pushes OTA but I want to manually install them... I have Windows PC's available to me if they can be used for this purpose... I know you people on this forum are FAMOUS for what you do so I appreciate any guidance & time you give to me... Also, please be patient as I am not a youngster any more... Age 70... Retired Engineer... Thanks so much...

Hello...
Thanks for trying to help me... Regarding the reply from juandbz & jmjoyas... I have gone to the links and read the stuff... it seems that the one site has the Nb1 download and both sites discuss using ODIN... OK... but it also seems that by following these procedures I am TOTALLY WIPING OUT my phone and starting over... Am I understanding correctly???... and if that is the case I guess there is no way to manually update like AT&T does with their OTA push where the firmware is updated without disrupting the phone???... Have I got it right... That is, if you don't want to WIPE your phone then you must do it via having an AT&T account and do it OTA????... OR... Go to Best Buy where they have some SPECIAL retail sellers way of doing it... Perhaps I am confused here.... Thanks....
