Accessing Firmware update setting in s4 (OTA)

Hi,
When I started my phone for first time, it took me to a screen where I have updated the preferred time for getting firmware updates OTA and some other settings for OTA. or it might be called as "Software update setting" In my view it happens only the first time you start the device, where it will ask you your desired time for software update..
It happens only for first time, so wanted to ask the seniors, how can I access that setting again in Samsung Galaxy S4 (I9500)
Please advise...
I tried searching for that setting but i am not able to find it.
Please help..
Regards,
Anoop

Go to settings - more - about us - software update

Thanks for your reply.
I know that settings i.e. More---About us---Software update, but when I manually click on it, it gives me below message..."The Software update service is not available. Maximum number of roll-out updates has been exceeded Try to update device later"
I am trying since 2 days but getting same message..
I remember that when I started the phone for first time, it took me to software update setting and asked me about my preferred time of update etc... (1st booting of the device) so that setting I am asking.. if someone can help please...
Regards,
Anoop.

I had that error on my i9505, the only way i rectified it was a factory data reset... works fine now.

Update S4 I9500 to Android 4.3 ARGENTINA (OTA)

This is the feedback that I can share with you about my recent update to version 4.3 S4 I9500 Argentina (OTA).
I was on 4.2.2, and the new Baseband Version becomes I9500UBUEMK1
OTA update process:
1) The update is a package of 651 Mb
2) After you download it, installed without problems. Reboot.
3) After you have installed the update 2) ... another "update package" about 15 Mb comes in, which is installed automatically. Reboot.
4) After the update 3) another "update package" of 13.19 Mb comes in, which is installed. Reboot.
5) And finally ... no more update packages are available, and the process is finished.
I have tested the phone and at the beginning was working fine: wifi, bluetooth, Youtube, and several other applications.
I found no benefit in the new version: activated the new "reading mode" but found no appreciable change. Speed: no appreciable change. Battery life: idem.
UPDATE AFTER A WEEK OF USE:
After using it for several days, I found that the problem of the message "Your wifi Connection Has Become Unstable", which is very annoying, appears very often, and wifi disconnects momentarily. Apparently there is no solution to this problem, as I could read in several posts.
In short, finding no benefit, my suggestion is: * DO NOT INSTALL V4.3 *
Is there any solution to the wifi unstable problem ?
Thank you.

I recently had a Note 2 with 4.3 with the same issue. Now I have an S4 with 4.2.2.
If I am not wrong, when you are in the wifi routers list (to conect to one) you must use the menu key and a menu will desplay. Hit Advanced. A new menu will appear and there you will see in the middle of the screen, an option that says verify the internet service (explained below says alternate automatically between wifi and mobile,) unclic that option.
note: every word detailed by me is not exact because i have the firm in spanish, so i just translated it the best i could. Let me know how it went
I have an unlocked S4 in argentina and OTA updates say that there is no 4.3 version available.

How were you able to make an OTA update? I have an unlocked S4 in Argentina, and it says it is not available.

Hello, and thank you for your writing.
I have that option unchecked, but still I receive the "internet connection unstable" message.
And regarding the OTA in Argentina, I got it about a week ago. My previous Baseband Version was I9500UBUBMG9, on Android 4.2.2., I9500 unlocked.
Perhaps yours is branded (attached to a celco company) so you will have to wait until that brand publishes 4.3 upgrade. However, my recommendation is to not upgrade.
Best regards,
Pablo.

Many thanks for the data.
I have read in another forum that mk8 has many improvements over mk1 (argentina version) they always were using the russian version ok mk8. Maybe this will help. The main improvements were, not heating too much and battery life.
I just repeat what they said, i personally have not tried it.
Best regards.

Honor 6+ for KSA and UAE community

I made this post to gather all Honor 6+ owners from KSA and UAE who bought it from souq (dot) com to share their problems, questions and experiences.

My experience is excellent with 6+. but when i upgraded it to lollipop, all gestures functions were gone!
No double tap to wake screen, no draw to open apps .. even all motion settings like flip mob to mute were disappeared
I used this file for upgrading:
hxxp://7961b64fc16ad15a92ef-9f98f1eddca1ebd26a80f4b64e8bd016.r62.cf3.rackcdn.com/downloads/PE-TL10C900B324.zip
(replace hxxp with http)
I downloaded it from here:
hxxp://hihonor.com/en/pages/support#?view=downloads
(replace hxxp with http)
I tried a factory reset, but it always fail at 10%
I can't call huawei support as i am outside of ksa now.
Any one faced the same problems when upgrading to lollipop?

not yet updated because of these problems. Can you check in gestures settings, if these features are still available? I purchased from Souq UAE

I tried flashing Latest 5.1.1 Chinese Stable Developer Edition , and then use downgrade package provided on Huawei Club Forum by chinese guys , but failed also.

No gestures options at all after upgrading. May you call customer support to ask them about this problem,and when the official upgrade for uae and ksa will be released?

I think that phones provided by souq.com have a modified software(i can't understand why )
So all of MENA region custmores have a buggy update.
We should contact with local provider & huawei to get our rights

any news about this dam update ?

Hi Guys,
Check out the Lollipop and Marshmallow update here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor-6-heres-how-update-manually-to-t3323661

I bought my Honor 6+ from Souq.com UAE last month. As i'm residing in India and using Vodafone as my service provider but not able to access data internet (2G/3G/4G) in my phone (working fine with Wifi). It is displaying the 3G/4G symbol at the top but somehow its not working even after getting all the configuration done that is provided by Vodafone.
I tried with multiple service providers (Airtel/Reliance/Aircel/Idea) but its not working either, although the data net is working in another phone using the same SIM. Please help me , let me know if anyone else having the same issue.

I tried the B334 Russia, and it worked fine, but I bricked my phone after I tried to update to the marshmallow as per the following update link but I made one mistake that I did unzipped the 503 update.zip pachage and i only took the update.app file and put it on the dload folder, after that i was unable to boot my phone again,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hono...ly-to-t3323661
and after several attempts to flash so many versions like (B130, B135, B300, B500, B503, B224, B334, B332, B510) I was able by the adb method to update to the latest Marshmallow update of UAE B510 but wifi and Bluetooth don't work anymore, and the mac address shows zeros 02:00:00:00:00 , ANY SUGGESTIONS?
in addition could someone told me the original firmware version that PE-TL10 in saudi comes with and where I can downloaded

Galaxy A5 (SM-A500FU) internet problems

Hello guys.
I just bought a SM-A500FU locked in Vodafone Romania. I used a unlock code and now its fully unlocked.
The phone came with lollipop 5.0.1 from factory and I got a message to upgrade it to 5.0.2 and I did it.
After upgradeing him to 5.0.2 I found out that the internet is not working all the time. I mean it doesn't matter if I have data and wi-fi activated, still not working. I mean not fully working, because I can use Whatsapp for example, but I can't reload Facebook, can't acces Play Store and YouTube doesn't want to find me videos (that's what I found untill now) and it's annoying.
What am I suppose to do? I tryed a full wipe untill now, I thought I made some bad setting, but it seems I didn't.
Some advices? Please.
P.S: I don't know if I got this problem after upgrade or I also had it when I was on 5.0.1...

Same problem here.. I flashed root and with flash... recover and boot and the mobile vas rebooting sometimes internet was ok full working then i flash original romm 5.0.2 in odin and then internet sucks

Maybe you should do a factory reset...

I found the problem. The problem was that I installed a program which I thought it will help me but didn't. It was a add blocker (Block It!). It seems after uninstalling works fine. :victory:

Galaxy S5 Plus (SM-G901F) losing mobile signal and gps after Marshmallow update

After updating to Android 6.0.1, the phone is randomly losing mobile and gps signal. It happens about 30-40 times a day, especially when moving around, like driving . Almost every time I look at my phone, I see "No service, network not found" or "gps lost" messages. After about 10 seconds, the signal comes back and everything is ok again. Very annoying and impossible to use navigation apps, like Waze and Google Maps. I have made a soft reset, a hard reset, wiped all data and cleared the phone cache, checked and cleaned the Sim card. Nothing helps. Before update the phone worked brilliantly. Also noticed, that the signal won't drop when using wifi, the problem occurs only when data connection is on. And I'm not the only one, I have 2 friends with the same phone and the same problem. Looks like a software issue. Can somebody help?
PS. I'm from Estonia, and the software version is G901FXXU1CPE1/G901FBAL1CPE1
Thank you in advance...

Hi mate,
I Have the same device although mine uses a custom ROM but the problem I experienced was exactly like yours
Samsung released a new issue of the 6.0.1 for our phone, PDA G901FXXU1CPF6 CSC G901FPHN1CPF2 you can login to the sammobile site and download it
As I said above I have a custom ROM so I only flashed the modem firmware from that release and worked fine after that!
Hope that will help you!

Thanks for your response! But I'm using a totally stock phone and I see, that this firmware is for Netherlands. Does it work on my phone or I have to wait until the Baltic version is released?

Hello,
I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work but just in case make a note of your Access point name settings in the mobile networks tab just to make sure that everything is the same after you flash the new release .
If you follow the steps as described in the sammobile site you won't have any problems.
What I have noticed however is that after I flashed the new modem firmware the mobile hotspot does not work anymore but this has to do with my custom ROM.
It worth trying though the performance of the phone after that is exceptional and the signal strength is higher than before and most importantly, doesn't crash anymore..
Let me know if you need help and keep me posted about your results!

i had that ROM for a while, didnt help in my case, still same issue. I'm currently on XXU1CPG3 with which the issue still persists, gonna try flashing the new TPD CSC ROM (currently the newest) ROM Version CPH9. My baseband is still CPE1, which do you guys have?

Baseband:
G901FXXU1CPE1, I have a totally stock phone with the latest official firmware.

Latest official firmware from where? ("latest" is region dependent)
Ok, the cph firmware updated the baseband to cph, on my side it's only been a while 14 hrs since flashing but it seems the signal problem is finally fixed

From what I understand it doesn't matter which ROM you are using the baseband is the one that causing this problem..
As I said I have a custom ROM and when I had the CPE1 baseband then I had all these problems.
If you flashed the ROM and your baseband is still CPE1 then something did not go per plan I think..
After flashing ONLY the modem firmware from the CPF6 release to my SMG901F is reported that the baseband version is CPG2 however..
This version works for sure..
I might try the CPH9 release now to see if the issues i have with the mobile hotspot will be solved

I'll try to install that CPH9 release too. Let's see what happens, because I have tried everything else.
To me it seems, that this CPE1 version is having problems with switching between network modes. I checked, that in Settings- Mobile networks- Network mode is set to LTE/3G/2G (automatic connect), but I haven't seen H+, H or Edge symbols on top of the screen. Only 4G/4G+ or no reception at all. Like it's locked in 4G network or something. And sometimes when there is no 4G network coverage, there is also no signal. But that is just my logic...

Ok, I flashed the latest CPH9 firmware and my baseband changed to CPH3. CSC Country turned to Netherlands instead of Baltic. And it seems that the issue is fixed!
I made a little test, I went to the cellar to get bad 4G reception and instead of showing No Service, 4G turned to H without losing the cell signal. Let's wait and see...
Thank you guys a lot for your help! :good:

Hi
1) I have the latest PHN version for SM-G901f stock& rooted. I see the TPD version, will it have dutch language if i flash it ( without wipe anything) in ODIN?

Hello! It seems all the firmwares ending with CPE1/CPH1 are problematic. You can try some other firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G901F/
Select the firmware what seems best for you, don't select the operator-based ones, like vodafone etc. If you click on the firmware and scroll the page down, you will see step-by-step instructions how to install it. Good luck!

Ok but i can't found latest country band FW have same with indonesia network (except FW country singapure now i using it)
