OTA update

Hi, I just updated my note with an ota update, but I dont see any difference or any new features. The update was about 77 megs in size.
Anyone knows what it was?

The build number is cmf1... where are you from? I haven't seen this build on Sammobile either.

UK, the note is international version.

I read about it....its still 4.1.2...but only n8000 got the june update
Dont know the changelog though
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda app-developers app

It will be the usual minor update that is pushed out from time to time .
Some say it precedes a major update .
jje

I don't know what it's supposed to do
But what it did do is add a bug where my device reboots every time I successfully pair a bluetooth device. The device is paired correctly, but my device reboots.
Other than that, it has also fixed a bug where a random app would open when I picked an app from the app picker (started with the two rectangle icon in the status bar), so I guess the two kind of even out.

Official - the 4.X.X update - discussion thread

For when it happens, please use this thread to have your respectful discussion. Thanks all!
BIG NEWS...many users are asking to highlight this one post here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51447667&postcount=338 care of @Azrael.arach
This is for people that had the first problem of mobicore problem.
Warning::: THIS WORKED FOR ME BUT I CAN NOT SAY FOR EVERYONE. I AM NOT A DEVELOPER SO MY KNOWLEDGE IS VERY LIMITED!!!!
You need to download the update file from this thread. You will need to rename it to change the .cfg to .zip
Attached is a fix.zip that contains the files you need. You will need to be on a nb4 with root.
Extract zip files and copy them to your internal memory on phone.
Step 1 copy the mobicore-presetup.sh to /system/bin
Step 2 copy all the apk files to /system/app.
Step 3 For each apk you copied you need to set the rght persmissions. rw-r--r--
Step 4 Copy the update file that you renamed to external sdcard.
Step 5 Reboot into recovery by rebooting phone. As soon as screen goes blank from shutting down hold Volume Up + Home + Power. Once you see rebooting into recovery let go of only power button and wait.
Step 6 Once in recovery use the volume down button to highlight update from external storage and hit the power button.
Step 7 Use volume buttons to scroll down to update file and use power button to select it.
Step 8 Wait for about 5 to 10 minutes.
Step 9 You will be returned to recovery menu, scroll down using volume buttons to wipe cache and hit power button.
Step 10 Hit power button on reboot and wait.

so who thinks kitkat will be out before the S5 is out.

We still expect official kitKat 4.4.2.
We also wish to have 4.4.2 Safestrap to promote KitKat.

I would think by now everyone in a rush or wanting the latest greatest would get a nexus. Or the other phones google has now! I knew when i chose this device AT&T is slow to update.

The nexus is a developer phone. Many of us want the refined camera and eye candy and s pen, etc. I think stock Google is ugly. I like touchwiz and pan to try out Tizen if a device is ever released.

Agreed. Not now nor have ever been a fan of stock Android. I really don't understand the hype. When Android first hit the scene, I remember all the rave being about "ultimate customization" and "tons of features." Now, when I hear people always b*tching and moaning about why there's upset ALL Android phones don't come stock — it seems like the arguments is "I love the simplicity and 'cleaness' of it all."
I'm like, if I wanted watered-down and simple, I'd buy an iPhone and stick to iOS! That's the one positive thing I can say about iOS... it's polished and it generally works. However, it's very minimalist, not customizable, and lacks features. Why on Earth someone would want and Android phone to go as bare-boned as possible, makes no sense to me. I, too, find stock Android to be really ugly, IMO. I find nothing attractive about the look.
I want a phone full of customization and features, and that's what TouchWiz gives me. I have never had an issue with the TW versions found on the original Note and up. I really don't get all the hate but whatever. I am a TW fan and as long as it doesn't get super stale like HTC Sense did when I was diehard fan, I'm good to go!

If there is any more of a delay, my theory is that AT&T decided to wait for the 4.4 update from Samsung that restores third party S-View case functionality.
If you look at the timeline of when Samsung updated the Note 3 unlocked and international models, they pushed out the KitKat update, and then about a week or two later, announced a second update was in the works to fix the issue. As far as I know, that update hasn't been pushed to any device as of yet. This was about a month ago.
Plausible theory, I think. Either way, I'm in no rush. 4.3 NB4 working great for me, and after owning a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon before this, I'm not feeling the "root and ROM" itch just yet.

So, I woke up this morning to a failed AT&T update. Aka, My rooted rom, didn't match. Guess I got lucky it didn't brick overnight.

What baseband are you on? It's probably just the NB4 update.

Mj5. Regardless, I'm not updating until the RUU is out for 4.4

If you want to have great customization try Nova Launcher. I currently have 6 x 9 icon grid and widgets can be resized and overlapped. I can never go back to Touchwiz.

This is a samsung device. We dont have RUU's. Dont worry. The update you are getting is a bug fix update and it is still 4.3 and should only be like 37mb in size. Took me only like 5 minutes to update. :highfive:

I came from an HTC one lol. Does it keep root after or?

So if you look at samsungs site I guess we already have kitkat.

Star Next To WiFi Icon (android 5.0)?

There is a star next to the wifi icon in the upper right. What does it denote (represent)? I am running the preview build of android 5.0 LPX13D.
Thanks guys. ?

It's a indication that only priority notifications can come through. And you are in a 2012 nexus 7 forum which doesn't yet have an official dev preview.

Isn't there a 2012 port for the dev build?

where is this L port? Need something to flash on my nexus 7. Really want a taste of android L but nothing official yet.
EDIT: nvm, I see it a few posts below. Still features that I need are broken. This is unfortunate.

Oooooh. Sorry. I apologize again for my mistake.
I was running it on my 2013 Nexus 7.
Thank you for the information regarding the star.

no entry symbol
Hi kids , I have a looks like a no entry symbol next to my WiFi symbol , anyone know what it is and how to get rid . thx

Lollipop should be coming soon

Lollipop is in the final stage of testing for all the tab pro series 12.2, 10.1, and 8.4
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...-2-Lollipop-Update-is-coming-by-Early-Q3-2015

I really hope this is true. I am interested to see if they "toned down" TW like they did on the S6 .

great news, thanks for this..

I hope there's an option to not update for a while to see there are any "issues" after updating....I have a Nexus 5 and I'm still on kitkat due to all the battery life issues people had when updating it to lollipop....and it's a flagship google device!!!

Hope it doesn't come with CleanMaster as a pre-installed app
As the title says, hope that lollipop doesn't arrive with the installation of CleanMaster Malware. The malware CleanMaster got installed on my ASUS memopad 176c & cannot be truly "uninstalled"; it keeps resurrecting & keep getting notification that an update is available even if I "uninstalled" it; when the notification arrives, CleanMaster shows as "installed" again.
CleanMaster is in "/system/app/CleanMaster" & cannot be deleted by an unrooted device. So, how does one change setting?
Read statements that say Samsung is/will be installing CleanMaster even if it is a malware & trojan.

Every device has had some issues with every update. Period, this is nothing new, this is never going to change. Most of the issues are fairly rare, but of course those are the loud ones. ALL, every single one of the Lollipop upgrades for my variety of devices have been either ok, no big deal, or wonderful enhancements to an already good device.

I'm as anxious as anyone about getting lollipop but I would just like the option of waiting a bit after the update until others have tested it out. The tab pro8.4 is my first Samsung device and wasn't sure if samsung automatically update you or if you have the option to wait and update at your leisure so to speak. Have you done a Samsung update and know if you have the option of updating when you're ready or no? TIA!

It will alert you that there is an update, it will not automatically update

I'm never gonna update to lollipop. It runs smooth, i get 10 days battery with 7+ hours screen time and lollipop itself is bugged as **** anyway. Why fix something that isn't broken?
Btw, my knox and everything is frozen anyway, so I doubt I will be able to update in the first place.

tab pro 8.4 lollipop status asof 7-15-2015
Checked in with Sammobile & saw the news that 5.1.1 has passed final testing.
The status of 5.1.1 is now listed as "pending" which meant that the rollout won't be too long......maybe.

Read his post. He said he checked in with sammobile.

Interesting to see TabPro leap past Tab S to 5.1.1
It's already the faster of the two, now it's ending up with the newer OS despite being older.

Let's see if it ACTUALLY GETS 5.1.1 before cm13 comes up.

Android 10 Beta

Anyone have any idea when we may get a Leaked of Android 10 Beta, since T-Mobile is working on it I read???

It may not leak, who knows. The official betas only work with the Google pixel which is out already. To me, Android 10 sucks as it's all swipe gestures to do stuff, so I am not in a hurry to get it.

Sorry bro, but T-Mobile is no longer working on the Android 10. They had marked the Android 10 update under the 'testing' phase earlier, but it turns out it was a mistake as yesterday, they fixed by marking the update to be under 'Development' phase, meaning Samsung is still building the update and that they are yet to receive it. (Source)
Sad.

There's been a beta program with every other major release for Samsung, why not 10

You still have the option for buttons. If your upgrading from 9 with buttons enabled it will stay after update. Otherwise you have the option during setup and in settings.

Yep me also StoneyJSG.

So looking at the ota server log its looking like they are currently working on android 10 update.
The "o=10" part is usually what marks the android version the firmware is for. (i cant confirm that but based on previous updates listed that number has reflected the android version)
