Anyone here already tried this new firmware?
what is the changes on this firmware?
thanks
i am sure there won't be any changes
the version for the middle east JPKE1 doesn't have any changes so why will be there any difference for Europe
there is difference my friend, europe was the first with bada 1.2 JL2 the other earth parts got it in late january.
This version has webkit improvements, as the new firmware for wave II and also preperations for bada 2.0, also the pop bug should be solved^^
memory management improved with dolfin.

I installed this firmware with the csc from JL2 (OXC) yesterday.
Today, I uninstalled it and reverted back to old XXJL2.
Why?
No noticeable difference. Design, speed, apps, etc are exactly the same.
No bug fix (GPS is as slow as ever, most apps don't launch e.g Thumpies, AccuWeather.com application, etc).
And lastly, "this device cannot be updated" message in kies (possibly due to use of XXJL2 csc file).
i am quiet confusing about this firmware, lariteo says that there are some improvemets on this firmware but accdg to spacks, there is no changes on this from S8500XXJL2.
it is recommendable to upgrade to this firmware or not?
@spacks excuse me but it seems that you dont even have tested it as you should, you are simple lying the people here. You should sell your device and not harm other peoples intuisazm here. One day for testing wow, that was realy long^^^in one day you cant even test dolfin itself, or not?
@pao9195 http://www.badanation.de/topic.php?t=4770&page=last#last_post
yes german users seems to be very happy with this firmware
as i read and know it from the wave firmware
- POP E-Mail Client don't download deleted Apps anymore
- Dolfin is faster
- Dolfins memory usage is now clean, after closing the app, no more fragmentation
@all if someone test a firmware he should not look at the look of the os, if the verision is the same, than there are only bugfixes and no features, it is still a 1.2 with some bugfixes.
Old apps that dont work they must the developer fix and not samsung, if they dont do that than you can throw them away, i think if i release a app than i am also responsible to update it that it works on feature os versions.
People like you are killing the devs intuisazm and i hate this, leave this section and let here only people talk that are interested in such things, as you read
NO NOOOOOOOOOBS are here allowed. And this is not a joke.
@larioteo
please I was only expressing my observations from the use of the new firmware.
My opinion is not binding on anyone. I may be right or wrong.
I don't need to test the new firmware for a year before I can find out it's pros and cons. I have been with my WAVE for a good time now to detect any slightest change from any firmware on it.
The so-called improvements in the new firmware are already existing in XXJL2.
Anyone is free to test. If you like it, keep it. If not, revert back to XXJL2 like me.
Finally, I still maintain my stand that the new firmware is no better than XXJL2. It appears to me like a mere change of name (version number).
Also facebook and twitter server problems seems to be solved^^
i think this firmware is flashable for everyone.
You should test more than a day every known bug and not only your oppiniouns, than others see if it is for they usable, ok? To say JL2 is better, according to the german forum is false^^
And for your information i got a other similar update for the wave II before two weeks, and i also had a firmware downloader and know a little bit more than you in this way, you should sometimes hear advices of others that are in this section longer and not think that you can know everything about it, how long has you tested it 2 hours?
Man you are killng my time, i have said what is improved, cause i tested it long as it should be. the users can rate who they can more trust
2 weeks against 1 day^^
thanks for that info sir lariteo, i believe in you sir, i will flash my phone to this firmware.
thanks
The most users say there that this firmware can compare to XI5 that was the best until this one.
- Surfing with 5 Tabs and 6 widget pages was possible with this firmware
a user reported that he has opened 5 youtube sites and that he has 6 widget site, and that there is no memory message, as on JL2 before.
as i said before the memory management of dolfin is much better than every firmware before.
hmm it seems that this firmware is recommended to flash.
but i think, nobody are interested on Bada 1.2 updates, instead we are all waiting for the Bada 2.0.1 update right?
a stupid question, why we update to this firmware with some bug fixes if Bada 2.0.1 is coming?
wherein we can directly upgrade our firmware to Bada 2.0.1 without going back to this firmware?
this is one of a practical reason, it is depend on the users if he want this firmware or not.
yes very interestung people cried for an bugfix of jl2 before 2.0 justin hong comfirmed it and promised it, now it is here and some says no important before 2.0, very interesting things.
They have done what many users wanted and know there are bugfixes and a never version and this should not be good?
This is the very wrong way, for they that want to use only bada this update is more than neccessary for the android porters it is nothing but not everyone wants android sone buyed the device to not have android on it think about it. and new versions should be for such people and not for bada haters, easy.
a small bugfix version is a big recommendation and not an unusual flash. if i wiuld be a samsung worker i would disable updates for all hacked devices bada should only be available for evangelist and not for haters like apple it does with new ios.
im successfully upgrade my phone to this firmware and ive noticed some changes from my old firmware S8500XXJK1:
- allow to send blank sms
- facebook have a log out option
- facebook have notification upon opening the application shown at the notification bar.
- when we long pressed some wall post on facebook, we got 3 options; like/comment/cancel or just press the "+" button, this 3 options appear.
- have a brightness settings on Dolfin Browser
I will post again if there is some changes aside from this and please note that this is based from S8500XXJK1 only, i am no longer flashed my phone to S8500XXJL2.
First I want to thank thor2002ro for ClockworkMod Recovery and making flashing and updating fast, easy and safe, also vache for providing 3.1 update, sc2k for an easy and quick way to root any version of the A500, last but not least Interphaze Solutions (whoever he is) for the Acer Recovery Installer.
I just updated (from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 to 4.010.22_COM_GEN1) IT works, no wifi issues, GPS now takes a lot to get location, and seeing a lot of performance improvements and fixes, was late and delayed 5 times but here it is and we are enjoying it.
Thus I wonder why no one even bothers to make a change log or something... like all the changes and improvements:
Acer_ A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1 Applies to all Android 3.1 Acer Official Updates, OTA or Leaked (installed yourself).
New Apps
Kobo
eBook store and eBook reader
Movie Studio
Video editor
Updated Apps
Youtube
Moved fullscreen button, HD button, play button, slower double tap needed to go fullscreen/back higher performance, Cache fixed and higher cache, doesn't stutters/chops/drop frames at start or when OSD shows up (volume, controls, etc).
Flash 10.3
Music
Better looking, UI improvements, it finally updates, Google Music Beta
MusicA
Better looking, UI improvements, lots, better "listening" (now it can identify Japanese music played through my phone, SWEET).
NFS Shift
Icon changed, now is more visible and have HD on it, who knows what else is changed
Improvements/Fixes
UI is faster, more responsive, doesn't stutters like before.
Wifi Icon in notification bar now shows net activity.
Support for ACC+ streaming (or whatever uses winamp in shoutcast radio streams).
720p videos play smoothly, some 1080p videos too (simple profile ones I think, needs confirmation).
New Video Codecs Support, now MKV videos plays with Mobo Player (didn't worked before).
Video intro for games pre installed now always plays (before they crashed, but didn't force close the game)
Auto-brightness works now, it just changed its behavior, its not longer "instant", takes a while.
Recurring Issues
Randomly waking up/screen turns on
Mic still SUCKS (srly did Acer even test it by recoding someones voice and playing it back just to hear how well/awful sounds?)
New Issues
GPS wasn't broken, now it is (can see 7 sats but only onle lock after 2min and really poor signal)... maybe has something to do with GEN3 now updated to GEN1 thus missing something, can someone confirm.
Youtube widget is micro and deformed, there is a fix here in XDA.
New bloatware, or at least more packet, includes 2 songs and 2 videos (maybe 720p haven't checked) to show off in retails maybe.
You can help to make this a lot more complete, please contribute, post your discoveries, findings or changes you noticed.
And finally excuse my crappy english, as you can easily tell its not my native language, any correction and recommendations are very welcome.
Reserved for more space (I got this recomendation from a friend thank you).
Plus bump
Google+
"Huddle" is installed when installing Google+, which does *not* cone pre-installed on 3.1 - sounds like you already had it there. Installing Google+ creates two shortcuts - Google+ and Huddle
Speaking of, if anyone wants a Google+ invite, dm me - I got a few to burn
Huddle is part of the Google+ mobile app. It's for group chats.
* damn, someone beat me to posting this by a few minutes... serves me right for not refreshing
I also updated the "Vache" way from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 to 4.010.22_COM_GEN1.
One problem - now seems to be fixed - I had on 1.141.01 was the following :
Could only connect to our company (outsourced) Exchange-Server 2007 via IMAP whereby whenever I would forward a message, the forwarded-message would "loose" the original content when send. .
I did try and (bought) Touchdown TAB, which is great, but for some reason does not allow me to retrieve/sync older messages.
Marcher
speaking of the autobrightness
Seems to only work if I set brightness to a level in the middle and reboot. Once I touch the slider again no auto bright until reboot. Any fix for this anyone is aware of?

After a while I noticed that auto brightness WORKS!!!, but its no longer "instanly", it takes awhile, give it a minute.
To test it try to put half brightness then turn on auto brightness, after a while turn off auto brightness and BOOM goes the light, so it works just changed its behavior bad auto brightness, bad
Thank you all for your contributions, updating ASAP!
I think two things mentioned in the OP *could* be hardware issues. I'm on my third A500 after returning the second one because the microphone would barely pick up my voice. This new one records my voice rather well, but voice to text is still a bit spotty (I blame the google servers for that). Another thing I have noticed is that the auto brightness on this unit actually works quite well whereas on the older unit it barely worked, if at all. I can change the brightness all the way up or down, turn the auto on and within a second or two it sets it to something more appropriate. If I cover the sensor the display dims, if I hold it towards the window it brightens. It works like an auto brightness should work. I still have 3.01 on the new unit and am waiting for the OTA update to come, whenever that is...
The second unit was manufactured in may, this unit is manufactured in april. I suggest if you have concerns about auto brightness and microphone, see if you can test another one at the store.
One question for those having issues with the microphone and auto brightness? Did you apply a screen protector? If so, was it a wet application type?

My new A500 has an auto brightness that seems to work perfectly. I tried what you said and it still works ok. The unit I returned a few days ago had a bad microphone and the auto brightness didn't seem to work well - or at all.

I have a hunch that there might be a problem if these are available for download freely...
remember before when increment updates are specific to what rom you're currently started from ??
users might just download the latest "increments" ... I wondered if that might screw up their device due to incompatibility ( starting rom build number )
???

I'm quoting myself from another thread:
Well, I installed CWM, acer recovery, rooted and went from 3.0 (from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 - 4.010.22_COM_GEN1) to 3.1 (.22), then unrooted to go for .30, rooted, got .38, updated (didn't need to unroot, didn't need to root again).
The history of my life

And I think the issues (reboot frozen) was due acer recovery or CWM... software highly experimental is prone to fail time to time... And nothing that a factory reset plus unnistalling recovery and cwm doesn't fix. I think but don't bet on it.

I got the Android 3.1 OTA update last night. I'm in Australia and my new build is Acer_A500.4.010.40_COM_GEN1
Wonder what the difference is?
As well as getting Kobo (which I don't want as I already have Kindle) I also got Zinio in the update, which "allows" me to buy magazine subscriptions which I can't get on my Kindle because Amazon won't sell them to me in Oz.
So far (less than 24 hours) everything seems to be okay except that Kaiten mail seems to be stuck somewhere. Dunno if its related.
Received a notification this morning that my unbranded Australian Note 10.1 N8000 (CSC XSA) now has an update available. A couple of days ago the N8010 (wifi) also supposedly got the update to Jelly Bean.
Unfortunately it won't do the update yet as the battery is too low even though I have it plugged in, but I'll update as soon as it has enough charge.
OTA update successful. Device is now saying it's on Android 4.1.2.
Build number: JZO54K.N8000XXCMB1
Changes I've noticed so far:
- New blocking mode in settings - can block calls/texts at certain times of the day and can set exceptions for certain people
- Smart rotation - screen rotation now based on the angle of your face, so you can lie sideways in bed and read.
- Accounts section is totally different in settings menu - now separate accounts are listed in the top level menu
- New disclaimer and privacy policy (for the OTA update service)
- Many apps, including stock browser, email, YouTube, etc can be un-maximised and become floating windows which can be dragged around the screen. They can then be re-sized and pinned (made always on top?), This is true even for some third-party apps like Friendcaster, so it looks like it's a native Android thing rather than Samsung-specific. Unfortunately I can't find a way to make them snap to half the screen like the old split-screen mode. *EDIT - The arrow in the bottom middle of the screen brings up options to switch from the cascade to a split-screen view.*
- Browser now has page preloading (in addition to search result preloading which it already had). Can be off, wifi-only (default) or always.
- Stock email app (not gmail) is still slow and clunky. Project butter seems to have done nothing for it.
I'm sure there's lots of other great changes.
Sweet, finally!!!
I wonder though, why does it say this was released in February on Sammobile.com when we're halfway through March? Why was this not pushed out with the n8010 release?

I was wondering that too. It's possible I did miss it by a while, but that's unlikely - I have been regularly checking using OTA, Kies and on Sammobile.com. I suspect it might be backdated to the date Samsung put on the build??
Mate, I've been checking sammobile every day since the N8010 JB update was released, asked Samsung and was informed that they don't answer rom release questions, just given the usual BS about testing and getting it right for us.
I think it's a bit slack though to release a rom almost a month after it should have come out. And it's a real spit in the eye to then back date it to make it look as if it was released on time....
Any updates or ETA on when the update will be released?

Yeah!! You eagerly click the thread hoping for news only to get a question with an obvious answer. If there were news, someone would have posted it. Is it just me or shouldn't that be obvious to anyone?
edit: And here I am perpetuating the thread.
Based on estimates I've seen, the first to second week of June is a high probability. Looking forward to Nougat for the Tab A 10.1 (2016).

It's rolling out now
It is indeed rolling out now. Push notifications will easily take this to early June, and I will wait on the upgrade until I see early reports on user experiences. The Nougat update for the S2 has caused havoc for some people.
today i've received nougat update
SM-T580 hopefully soon...
Nice to see the Pen version receiving Nougat, but there are MANY of us still waiting for our update. The estimate was early June, possibly the first week.
Got it today. Germany dbt
Updated today
My model is a T580 wifi only that I bought from italian Amazon. I could upgrade to Nougat because it is a model coming from Germany. The update lasts less than an hour and changes the firmware from T580XXU2APL4/T580OXA2APL4 to T580XXU2BQE4/T580OXA2BQE4.
It seems that installed applications work well all, even the overall look seems more enjoyable.
I had followed the adb method (without rooting) to enable the adoptable storage using a 32GB micro sdhc, it seems that the update did not change this memory setting.
For now I am very satisfied.
I've a problem with the Samsung keyboard with nougat. When I select English keyboard I've the symbols over the letters while when I use the Italian keyboard the symbols don't appears and I can't activate it in the settings

Normally I use SwiftKey, after updating I tried the Samsung keyboard and they all work well.
Symbols on english languge and Samsung keyboard are displayed after pressing the face key (right of Ctrl) and are divided into two pages that change by pressing the 1/2 and 2/2 keys.

What additional features are gained by the update? Did it break any previously working features?

The things I noticed:
Positive:
The bluelight filter is certainly a very nice addition when using the tablet at night. Contrary to some apps which claim to do the same, this works much better and does really filter blue light without heavily affecting overall brightness.
Officially Google made this only available in 7.1. Seems like Samsung did port this as well as some other things down into our 7.0 based ROM.
Security level is May 1st. Well, that's not a feature but still an important reason to upgrade.
All apps I had installed before the upgrade still work.
Battery runtime seems to be a bit better. But this could be the usual effect after flashing a new ROM. So let's wait and see if this is a permanent improvement.
There is a new device management overview for removing unused data, analyzing memory and battery usage etc.
Also some kind of (fortunately optional) security scanner from Intel is included. I have not yet decided if should I consider this as a small improvement or if I just don't care.
Multi window feature now seems to work for more (all?) apps. At least in Marshmallow if an app didn't support multi window mode (and most don't) you were not able to put it in multi window mode. Now on Nougat I just get a warning that the app doesn't support multi window and might behave strange. But for most apps it works just fine.
Neutral:
Performance seems to be the same.
Pull down/notification menu now looks and behaves a bit different than before. But imo overall it's neither worse nor better than before.
Various smaller UI changes. E.g. app icons can now have some kind of canvas. Imo nothing exciting.
Some new connectivity settings. E.g. "Nearby" feature which claims that you can more easily connect to other device. I deactivated it and didn't have a closer look as I don't need this. might be helpful for some people.
Negative:
The settings are now grouped and sorted differently than before. Not more or less logical but different. So you have to get used to it which is annoying.
Google Chrome crashes if you resize/shrink the window. Which is a pity as I'm using the multi window feature a lot. This did work in Marshmallow. Seems to affect only Chrome. Other apps resize just fine (e.g. YouTube).
Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk
Small correction to my statement above about the issue with Google Chrome in multi window mode:
With Nougat all apps I did try so far seem to work fine in splitscreen mode where you can display two apps side by side. Including Google Chrome.
With Marshmallow this did work only with some apps.
With Nougat most apps can be resized and shown on top of other apps. Both, apps which officially support this, as well as apps which don't support this. In addition for apps which don't support this a message is displayed that that they might not work properly in this mode. With Marshmallow resizing was only possible for selected apps. So far I found only one app which cannot be resized at all (Hidrive) and two apps which crash when being resized (Google Chrome and Google Earth). With Chrome resizing did work in Marshmallow.
So overall I like the multi window mode in Nougat more than in Marshmallow. And the bug with Chrome is not so bad as at least in split screen it does work.
Thanks for taking the time to compose such a through review!

Author: MIUI Official TeamVersion: V9.6.3.0.LHMMIFD (MIUI9) Size: 960M
Do not update!!!! Can't update apps via play store, camera settings crashes. Can't install from playstore... Awful update. Dex2oat process is killing battery. Stay away from this update
well, I installed, and I had problems with the google play , google drive, gmail etc.. manually I downloaded apk and installed.. now working for me however, better to have clear that working from start.. battery no more than a day ...
After playing for a few months with LOS & its variants, I returned to MIUI official ROM (MIUI Global 9.6.3.0). After I made a clean flash, I did the "magic" two-line-modification in build.prop, and I must say that now it works much better than with LOS&Co before (at least with me!)
- no more camera and video problems
- no more slowness (especially Google apps were very very slow)
- overall speedness of phone is significantly improved
- SOT is much better
- no problem with Safetynet: I have green marks for both ctsProfile and basicIntegrity in Magisk without doing any modifications
The only drawback is that I cannot change the region, there is only one option: Chinese (no problem with languages), but to say the truth I didn't experience any disadvantages beacuse of this so far.
I have one small problem: rich formatting option is completely missing from Gmail (maybe it's due to Chinese region...?), and I would badly need it.
Anyone with the same issue?

There was nothing to fix. Just made a clean install + build.prop edit + Magisk. That's all.
The same problem. But I can't update or delete system programs at all. They "disappear" in Titanium or Root Explorer for a moment and then you refresh the folder and they're there.
Totally broken update. Trying to find 3rd party firmware that would work.
Unfortunately applied themes always get reverted after a short while - is there any solution for that?
Hello,
Which is the last "official" GLOBAL ROM for RN2?
This one is on my phone now: miui_HMNote2Global_V9.6.3.0.LHMMIFD_83711029cc_5.0, which otherwise works perfectly, but has a small drawback: you can only choose Chinese region, there is no other, and it has some minor disadvantages..
After a long search I found: xiaomi.eu_multi_HMNote2_V9.2.3.0.LHMCNEK_v9-5.0
Can this be the last? Or is there another one? (the point is region choice)
Thanx
I am using that chinese version. IMO it is the latest stable one. The most annoying topic is that built in camera often freezes phone and then rapidly drains battery and OpenCamera cannot be used. Besides that reverting themes is another drawback but a minor one.
