whats new in this update?

it's downloading for me now, I'll keep an eye out when it finishes installing for any changes.
252MB update, coming from 48.1.A.0.129
there's no changelog.
---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 AM ----------
so far I've noticed:
may 5th security patch
still 8.0.0
settings menu font slightly bigger
nothing else new that I've noticed.

No longer plays my .wma music files. Gutted about this!

Terrible, terrible update! Phone is noticeably slower and Bluetooth audio streaming is broken.
As much as I want to big Sony up, I'm rapidly running out of patience now.

Yeah I had to use an older firmware and get to a point before the 48.1.A.2.21 update to get the bluetooth working again.
Apparently there is a 48.1.A.2.50 update now. I dont know if it fixes this issue or not. Lets hope eh!

There is also now a 48.A.1.2.73 that's available. Waiting for my phone to be 50 percent before downloading.

Hi there,
As you can guess I'm here because I need some help and some information. I hardly just arrived to this world of rooting. I would like to get an AOSP ROM for my Sony Xperia xa1 ultra devide (G3221) but after several days searching I concluded that find it is harder than I thought
Can someone help me, please?
A simple link could save my life
Thank you

I just got a notification that 4.0.2.A.0.42 is available?

Is this Ice Cream Sandwich? Already?? And will updating remove PSXperia?
Cheers!

No, this is 2.3.4. This will break PSXperia
I got it too,
It says I can only use PC Companion to update, how can I get it to do OTA update?
Also got this, and despite the description saying I can get it OTA or using PC Companion, directly below it says "You can only use a computer to update your phone."
Using PC Companion will make me lose root, won't it?
Ya it will, but maybe, just maybe, this root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1312859 will work?

Didn't happened to me, Every thing went fine with me.
I have this notification, but I'm already on this version. Why is it telling me to update to the version I'm already on and how can I remove it.
Not a problem, root is still applicable on this version of Android... What I'm curious about is why it wasn't available as an OTA update, and only made as an update through a PC. Anyone know why?

I updated my Play last night in the pub, OTA. Vodafone UK.
One minor addition, which for a lot of people is a major addition, is the new option for turning the display Automatic Brightness on and off.. about time! I was quite surprised how bright the screen can actually go.
I'd like to see the Brightness Level app from Curvefish I have on my home screen updated to include the switch. I read Kindle books in the dark before I go to sleep and the 0 level is way too bright until you turn Automatic Brightness back on. I'll probably contact the dev.

What's new in this Rom ?
Sweet. I'm still waiting for the n8010 update :/.
I can't imagine it will be released much later though really
I think should be the same as the German rom but we shall only know when someone downloads it and post a review

Well, there doesn't seem to be much difference between this ROM (there's only one; the Dutch and UK ROMs are the same) and the German ROM I've been using for a while.
Here's some subtle differences:
- The icons in the notification bar seem to have been updated so their a little cleaner and better spaced apart.
- The S-Pen seems a little less twitchy. Using it in hover on the German ROM seemed like it was set too sensitively.
- Polaris is still the older version and the newer one in Samsung Apps still FC's after you install it. And PDF annotate still doesn't work.
- The quick apps on the home screen are back.
- The display seems like its calibrations have been changed. Colors seem a little better balanced and text seems clearer (this could be placebo).
- Auto-brightness seems a little smoother in its transitions (also could be placebo).
- The mobile signal seems to lock faster when you're turning it off and on (another possible placebo).
- The "check for update" error is gone.
It "feels" the same as the German ROM performance wise but other than the above I haven't found any other differences.
So the question why did Samsung take a month to roll it out really stupid of them

Trying to figure out why Samsung does what they do and the order they choose to do it in will just give you a headache. It's kind of like riding a specific roller coaster for the first time. You'll never know what's coming up next.
LOL good one
They may very well have been using the German rom as a beta... Any subsequent fixes can be patched later with an TA update after rolling out to rest of the world....
As there weren't any real problems with the German rom, and giving it a month to get bug reports, they are now rolling out tweaked version to everyone else...
Got it this morning in norway

Asia should be next but considering how much time it took to travel from Germany to UK I think its walking on foot So Asia could be a year or two away lol
Should release within this week normally it happens the next day after UK gets the update but can never trust Samsung on updates only thing is for sure it happens first thing in the morning

Yeah I really don't have to many issues either I was just being snide. I do think it burns too much battery while sitting idle with screen off though. I shouldn't be losing 5 to 10 percent battery overnight. Mind you my overnights are 6 to 7 hours usually.

Everyone calm down, it's not in aosp yet

Finally, someone with common sense (and you beat me to it).
ROM's won't appear until it's in AOSP and Dev's re-compile.
for those devices it goes out to, we might see the OTA available if someone captures and upload it to their favorite BB
And then this could lend credence to VZ's hitting stores with 5.1 a week from Thursday (But I still think those would be a 5.0 variant with a open and update to 5.1 myself ...)

Anyone know if this OJ1 update is compatible with OH7 root method (coming from OG2 5.0.2)?

---------- Post added at 10:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------
^^^ Hmmm.... It's still just an update to stay within 5.0.2 where I am. To OJ4.
Mine is 223.99 MB
Didn't take a screenshot but mine was 1.2 GB?!
I don't know if that was because Smart Switch included the backed-up data I'd just processed?

I guess that's it till sometime next year then...
Nope, still stuck on 5.0.2 here
I usually play Sims Free Play. I noticed that the UI has become tiny after the update. It's very difficult to play this game after this last update. The game doesn't have any option to increase UI's font. Also, increasing font size on tab s2 display settings does not have any effect on the game ui size.

I was on OH7 unrooted and took the 0J1 update and then used the CF autoroot OH7 method to root. Works fine.
Very bad update.
I've got mine 5 days ago, 240 smth MB's.
T-715 started to freeze if it is ON+connected to charger. Only way to restart or turn it of is to keep pressed PWR+Vol DOWN buttons
Also it is overheating without any reason, and it is restarting randomly at least 1-2 times/day.
It is not rooted, all software is legal/bought via Google Play.
Only way to charge device is to turn it off and than connect it to charger.
Battery life because of overheating - 80+C is reduced to less than 1 day.

Just got my second update for the S2 T715 4G version, the latest one is 140MB.
update: apparently it's still android 5.0.2.
I just got my S2 (T-917T from T-mobile with 5.1.1 AOG8) yesterday and not long after I got home an update popped up. I held off at the time in case it complicated gaining root, but after doing so today I just got the notification again. The build is AOJ3 and... it looks potentially sketchy. Attached is a shot of the update screen, the second point is worrisome (?) "After updating you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy." Weak... I've never downgraded firmware, but there are occasionally legit reasons to do so.
Is anyone running this build? Any problems?

Just seems a bit... hypocritical on Samsung and/or the carrier's parts. It's atypical, but sometimes a new build is just a total dud. But it's not unheard of for an "upgrade" to cause things like increased battery usage, excess heat, performance issues, app compatibility, sporadic boot loops. "New" security policy: no flashing back to the build that you were enjoying 2 weeks ago. A new build that addresses these issues will be out "soon".
I'm just really curious about the rational of insisting that you remain on a build that makes you hate your $$$ phone and also what the other mentioned "security policy" changes are baked into the new build because if they further (attempt to) restrict how I'm allowed to use the device that I own... I don't particularly care for that! Also, who knows how long one'll be stranded on a crappy build. It seems that Samsung should be spending their time ensuring that, at least, all of their flagship devices are receiving regular/timely updates rather than adding new policies that are particularly disadvantageous for power users who tend to buy those devices.

Its NOT normal. It has always been possible to downgrade regardless of KNOX with an unlocked bootloader.
So called security updates that state that you will not be able to downgrade are bad, and usually mean one thing a bootloader update. Bootloader updates like this often lead to locked bootloaders, its happened before on Samsung devices. Locked bootloader means, no root, no custom recovery and no roms.
I'd stay away from this update until more is known about it. It may be possible to update without the bootloader.

Finally got OTA .. XT1092 , Indian Model
I got my update to Marshmallow yesterday. Pretty impressed at the speed of this one as Lollipop took forever to arrive!!
The actual update process went very smoothly.
It's made the overall feel of the whole OS a lot nicer and smoother. Definitely feels more polished to me. Also love the unbelievable control of app permissions in this one! They've really ramped up on security here.
Another small but amazingly useful change: the addition of battery percentage!!!! Took them long enough but finally it's here in some form or another!
Everything seems to work quite well without having to reset the phone like I used to have to do when upgrading from other versions of Android.
Not tested battery life just yet but hoping it'll have improved thanks to Doze.
So far I'm very impressed with this one and am actually considering sticking to Android a bit longer as my plan was change my phone for an iPhone 7 when released as was getting really sick of the silly little Android bugs.

try using chromium or cm browser no lag at all on those I'm running a Brazilian 1097 twrp backup from last month on my 1095. No lag in the system but terrible with chrome. using those browsers solved my issue.
Chromium is it the same as Chrome Dev?
not only chrome many apps shows lag like instagram whatsapp facebook side scrolling phonograph(too much) .
try chrome dev or chrome beta, the animation stutter on the 3 dot menu bar on top right is not there on the beta and dev version.
also if you turn on moto voice from settings>accesibility, chrome will go berserk and start lagging more and switching it off makes it normal again.i dont know why this is happening, anyhow i already reported this on moto forums
