Has anyone try this new update?

Hey guys, on sammobile i got a new firmware update. I thought it's just another rubbish update but man, when i had a look at change log and its baseband i was just smiling. Now i have installed that update which is for Hungary. I am not from Hungary, i am in Pakistan and my mobile came from saudi arabia. But this update did nothing wrong to my S3 Neo GT-I9301I.
Its just good as the old one. This update has a new kernel update and baseband updates. Battery timing is same as the old one had. But RAM using is less in this update than the older versions.
What do u think guys? Is it the base for a new big update? Can it be a solution for those who have problems with CM ROMs? I mean after updated to this one they can try CM again and may be they got good results?
Tell me if anyone has try this?
Sorry for my English and for some proofs attachments are here.

60 reviews but no reply? Come on

I use this update, they update all Google apps and minor improvements, but minor.

Really? That's not good for Samsung. But my camera is working perfectly.

Today I got this update too. It a stability and bug fix update. I just notice that my shutdown screen looks like the one from the Galaxy s5.

Hey @samo_say
Any one who has a problem with camera with this new stock firmware update should try this camera fix from NeoStockX ROM by Danny. One of my friends was facing this problem and we used that fix and now he has a working camera.
Thanks to @Danny_Dewet .

Yes same here. May be may be i think may be it's going to be a base for some big updates .

I'm installing it via kies right now :good:
EDIT: I installed it but crashed while flashing and it had to restore it (maybe because i had root) Now it works and i have the latest rom but i lost root :\

Oh, but you have latest firmware now. You can root your mobile again. By the way RAM using after flashing this update is not as high as in previous one.

Yep :good: I'm re-rooting right now

I tried CM 12.1 after flashing this update. And my problem of "no data connection " is still there. It is not resolved after trying every possible solution.

Re-rooted with the Rox's method
The update installs two new apps in the italian version (ITV) : mySamsung and MilanEXPO
I searched online but I didn't find the changelog; is anyone able to find it and posting it here please?

There can't be that many changes in this update we've just received, the OTA was it 80mb.

In battery we can see something new. It called application optimisation.

Stagefright fully fixed ?

Bit early to tell really, but my battery seems to be running better on standby with 4g on, before it was running down quite quickly to the point i was turning it off, hope ive not jinxed it now lol

The famous Android vulnerability that everyone was talking about. It allowed your phone if targeted to be bricked.

Well that's ultimate gayness

Can someone check if WiFi calling is default under settings> phone ? It's only found in some specific firmware and I need it but am fed up of EE not updating their phones.

[SM-N920I] New Firmware and OTA: N920IDVU2AOJ4 (Singapore)

There is a new OTA update rolling out for Singapore, all CSC codes (XSP, SIN, STH, and MM1). The update is 144.2 MB. SamMobile also has the full firmware package.
PDA: N920IDVU2AOJ4
Baseband: N920IDVU2AOJ3
Build: LMY47X.N920IDVU2AOJ4
Android Version: 5.1.1
Changelog:
1. The stability of Call has been improved.
2. Battery usage optimisation
3. The security of your device has been improved.
Also, flashing this firmware seems to blow an eFuse (this is 2A vs 1A) so you most likely won't be able to downgrade after updating.

If updated the knox?

The changelog claims that the security policy is updated, so downgrades are impossible. So, yes, I'd venture to say Knox has been updated with this release.

i did not get the update, have you already updated the new version ? which model do you have note 5?

Mine is a SM-N920I sold originally by Singtel in Singapore. My CSC is SIN and I'm located in the USA using the phone on T-Mobile.

That's one of the line items in the change log so theoretically, battery life should last longer. Time will tell.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 5 using Tapatalk

Ok thanks ?

It seems to me the standby time is improved, as I live in a weak signal area, before the battery can down 5% in one hour just by sitting there, now it barely drops ?

Just updated this firmware OTA an hour ago. It somehow seems to fix my deep sleep issue
Will keep on monitoring and revert back
Phone seems to respond a bit faster too.
And total system ram usage also seems to lowered down.

Hoping this fixes my startup lag/freezing issue. So far so good over the last 24 hrs Those that did not get the update yet, you can download via samfirm or sammobile, and flash via odin v3.10.7

Changes in smart manager, battery section. Similar per app optimizations previously was in ram manager section of smart manager. However these seems different..

Can confirm it lasts significantly longer, now at 35 percent, normally down to 15 by this time

Nope. It'll only flash on an N920I. Odin won't allow you to flash firmware for a different model.

Oh, I thought that I could flash any firmware between devices, like T mobile firmware on the N9208. So I need to wait to my phone get updated?:crying:

You don't necessarily need to wait for your phone to get an update, but you do need to wait for there to be updated N920G firmware somewhere in the world. At that point, you can flash. You just can't flash N920I firmware to an N920G.

just one customization for each model at the moment

Split screen support just made this tablet even better if that was even possible.

Anyone got the FTF? I am having a little trouble building it.

Nevermind, I had to use flashtool-0.9.18.6-windows to build the FTF (which then failed to flash)
So I upgraded back to flashtool-0.9.23.1-windows and it has flashed
Android 7.0
December security update.

you should use anyhow the latest version because before 0.9.23.x it didn't support nougat resulting in failed flashes, didn't brick or anything the device but the flash failed.

Thats cool, I was just getting java errors using the builder with the latest version!

Major drawback with 7.0 and the keyboard
There is no option to select different language from the keyboard like it was with CTRL - Spacebar before. In the settings also for the physical keyboard you can only select 1 language.
What the hell happened here....

And I now see that the update has been pulled !!!

What do u mean??

Oh well thats no good. Im using the firmware currently. Its ok but when you compare marshmallow with root to it you only really get multi apps and new settings. With root you can use android n ify. Still a good update but having unlocked bootloader is pointless at the moment.

Yeah, SGP771 is the LTE model of course. There was a problem with third party audio and some encryption with SDcard.

Anybody please with 32.3.A.0.372 SGP771 link? is not in the list anymore.

S8+ Oreo beta - XEU [SOLVED]

I've searched through all the threads but none answered my question. I have an S8+ with XEU/XEU/VOD and have applied for the beta.
Am I even eligible for the update/will I get it?
In recovery and the samsung info app it says that my CSC is XEU, but there is still the VOD at the end...
SOLVED: If you are not getting the Oreo update but you have registered for beta, CLEAN flash either August or September firmware (through ODIN, no KNOX tripping, both available on sammobile) and the Oreo 8.0 update will be waiting for you straight away!

I don't know then, that's what happened to me anyway as you can see from the screen shot in post 2 xeu/xeu/h3g and that was after flashing xeu firmware and the csc (not the home_csc)

The 3rd line of the csc will stay the same unless you have another sim afaik.

You cannot change the last value. That's a hardware that can only be changed with root

Well damn. Thanks for the help guys, appreciate it.
Will wait for someone to drop the update file so I can flash it through ODIN. Do you think anyone has it yet? Cheers.

Interesting, you're on the September security patch. I'm on October.
Someone was also saying to downgrade and then try to update to oreo. I already have it downloaded so once I get home I'll clean flash the September FW and try to download the beta. Cheers mate!

Where'd you manage to find the september FW? I'm struggling to find a link. This is my plan too. I'm on the latest BTU Firmware at the moment, registered for the beta but no update has come through and it's been over 24 hours. If you could link me I'd be very grateful!

Could it be that the 5000 UK registrations have ended and that's why no download is presented?
