One handed Note Update, Improved Features!

Today it appears a huge update is rolling out bringing all sorts of improvements, changes and tweaks.
Following the update, users will enjoy the possibility to shrink the keyboard and dial-pad for one hand use, a dedicated torch widget for the homescreen, as well as a virtual keyboard spread on five rows now.
Samsung has also added some new brightness setting so you don’t have to adjust the brightness on the whole device and you can now select different brightness settings for certain apps like the browser and other apps.
The update will also offer users the possibility to unlock the device through moving their thumb only a bit, while benefitting from more information being displayed on the unlocking screen.
The update is being pushed out over the air and should arrive on unlocked devices first (in Europe/Asia)

What is the Source?

The update should be available now for unlocked Notes and can be downloaded over-the-air. Those who have network-branded devices may have to wait until your service provider gets round to releasing the patch.

This is for csc DBT (Germany) over the air. It is LA4 and has been out for over a week as reported by zkyevolved and dr ketan.
Dr. ketan has a great thread under the development section which lists all the updated firmwares.

that update was released 27.12.2011.. - you guys are one month to late..

Why do I keep getting notifications for updates to 36 galaxy apps but when I check there's no updates available?
Anyone else get this?

What's your carrier? I'm on T-mobile S7 edge and I don't have any such notifications.
Try re-starting your device.

I have the same. The number of updates has progressively grown.

T-Mobile s7e. Seems like more people saying the same than not. Weird.

Really weird!
The other option is to go into the settings on galaxy app and switch off the notification messages.
While you are there, do check if you have the latest version. Mine says 4.1.01-14

It's the same version. So I checked for an update, but not because of a notification, and there was one for AOD.

The s7 edge has alot of preloaded apps that are not fully installed. First i had a notification that said 32 apps need update but all my Apps where. So i installed 4 preloaded apps and it went down to 28 apps need update the next time i got the notification.

I figured mine out. After going into Galaxy Apps I manually updated then could see I had several preloaded apps that needed updating along with language packs and Kids Mode items.

New AOD update.

Just woke up to my AOD being different. I used the large hour with the blue minute and that option is now gone. Is this the version from the note 7?

It is similar to that of the Note 7 but you won't get all the notifications yet. I'm really waiting for the Note 7 features to be on the S7 Edge since this is their only flagship now along with the S7.

It now shows music track info! Works with Google Music, others have said Spotify as well. This is a great unexpected update.

Yeah this update is from the note 7.... But samsung won't just give us all.. There must be something less..!! No notification for third party apps... Why is that Sammy :3

This may be a foolish question but when did you get that version? Mine says latest at 1.3.14 @robogoflow

I woke up Friday morning to it automatically updated. I believe you can go to the Samsung app store and manually update it there

Ya hopefully the quick notifications access like note 7 comes through i miss that. This is a great update though

Can anyone post the apk for this. I have been trying to download the update and cant wont have wifi for the next few weeks either.

It doesn't show any of the notifications, I've even cleared cache and Badge Provider cache, still can't get my notifications to show, uninstalled the update, everything works fine.

New update, PK1 (November)

Any idea if this includes anything beyond security updates?

Usually when updates are that small the are just security updates.

Please let us know if this makes signal better, worse our same. Or whatever?
I stood on ph4 cause last update few people said they kept dropping signal. Plus ph4 working great for me as far as roms that I install on it.
But I do like to stay current if all's working great.
Thanks.

I think performance and battery are better.

So far, I've had much better GPS performance on PK1 than I had on PJ1. PJ1 had me constantly searching for GPS signal, making navigation nearly worthless. PK1 seems to have fixed whatever the issue was as it locked fast and stayed locked for both my morning and evening commutes over the past 2 days.
Update: False alarm. GPS still sucks. Took over 5 minutes to lock to a satellite today and kept dropping every minute or two.

Issues after 4.5.3 update!

Ok so I got my op5 on Sunday 27th from o2 store manufacture date 6/6/17 I was on 4.5.0 out of the box updated to 4.5.2 and then 4.5.3 after this I started to get random reboots even while on a call just shut down rebooted and strange things like if I had airplane mode on while asleep if I turned it of in morning I'd have no service till I rebooted the device again
Didn't experience this before update , back to reboot issue I contacted 1+ live chat and explained what had happened just for advice really is it a bug or a hardware issue and the response was to provide proof of purchase for replacement , not oh we are aware and a fix incoming so alarm bells rang as I had it from o2 I decided to take back for replacement as well with my 14 days return , I did this with no hassle explained to O2 the issues and exchanged for a new one same manufacture date 6/6/17 , so far all seems good even camera looks better less fuzz in zoom although this handset had no screen protector pre applied like last one not a big deal as got a tempered glass one coming , so I'm currently on 4.5.0 out of the box on the new device and we'll it's so smooth and no issues what's so ever ,, So do I update this one is the question I'm not sure or should I wait till another update rolls ,
Anybody else had same after update 4.5.3 ??
Sent from my ONEPLUS A5000 using Tapatalk

I haven't had any issues when updating to 4.5.3. But then again, I updated first, factory reset the phone and THEN setup my phone with my apps and such. I knew that there were going to be updates as soon as it released so no point in fully setting up the phone before doing those two steps

Try getting a VPN from app store. See if changing a country makes any difference
