Official Lollipop Update for NotePro 12.2

No more waiting, guys! It is here. :laugh:
Firmware versions for Italy, Switzerland, Luxemburg AND UNITED ARAB EMIRATES released! More to come. Stay it touch: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P905

Interesting. On the Note 3 Italy was the first EU region country to receive 5.0, and now again on the NotePro....
Oh well. I'll wait for a while if you don't mind, too many problems with Lollipop on the Note 3 for my taste. (Same hardware.)

Well Spotted!
This is excellent news, thanks for finding it! The lack of any sort of communication on this from Samsung has been disappointing to say the least. The latest version of Touchwiz is miles better, I've really been looking forward to seeing it on the Note Pro.

Hope the P900 also receive the LP update in next few days

Great news but I'll also wait since lollipop on my note 3 was horrible. Didn't work at all with my pebble so that I went back to 4.4.
Does the use of external SD cards work on 5.02?

The same problems that plague Lollipop everywhere. Bluetooth connectivity issues, WiFi connectivity issues, memory leaks, errors on Contacts and Camera, Deamon battery leaks...
I haven't updated my Note 3 yet. (Erm, since Februari 2014. NB7 works flawlessly, I'm keeping it.) But I handle all Samsung-related claims for one of the largest providers, and Lollipop sings the same tune on all devices.
Add to that the inherit issues known to these devices, such as screen flickering, reboots, bluescreens, and I'm a little hesitant to mess with the firmware. Seeing as how mine hasn't shown any of those issues, which seems to be a rarity here on these boards.

And that's because you have good quality international devices (P905 / P9005).
I haven't got any problems with my devices, even though both are rooted, debloated by frozing apps and got Xposed Framework with many modules.
Oh yeah, and I did root them both with Towelroot so Knox Warranty is 0x0 and I am also keeping them running KitKat (mostly because Lollipop got too much white colors, and I don't like that).
@ShadowLea, if there is anything you need root for, go for it!
Sorry for shooting off-topic so bad

Having had a number of Samsung devices I'd advise to never upgrade the firmware because they always wreck it and it's not like you can easily go back without tripping knox or whatever. 4.4.2 is doing the job nicely for me and like ShadowLea my Note pro has exhibited no problems other than the less responsive screen whilst charging but that'sa known issue on loads of Samsung devices (and others).

I hope it'll be available for P900 soon too

I'll wait. Pretty sure that lots of shortcuts (e.g. pulling down the notification bar etc.) won't work anymore on Lolliflop.

It was the same with the Note 4 upgrade. Most shortcut apps still don't work anymore.

Anybody updated already?
Hi guys, Anybody updated already? Anynone can tell me if have note 4 multitask popup feature now?

Something similar has been done, but you need to exclude the bootloader and modem files, and do so at your own risk. See posts 5,6,7,and 8 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...p905-update-to-4-4-2-p905xxuaob1-mar-t3066259

Will Huawei send nougat OTA or do I have to download it?

I'm not seeing any traditional update software options in the about phone section. How will we receive Android OS updates on this tablet? Thanks.

Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui

As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.

Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.

I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.

How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...

Chinese version only perhaps?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

As far as I read not all CPUs are conform with Android 7.0. The M2 has one of them. The CPU of the M3 is conform so i hope we will see the update soon.

I haven't tried it myself but I always thought notifications weren't working for me if things like battery saver or miui optimization were enabled in developer options. for example I can receive textra sms notifications fine and a few other apps but not from Line messenger. I never tried disabling it to see if it fixed I'm just guessing but I did google about it before. some will say turning off miui optimization fixes certain things. that could make sense if u stop letting it mess with background data to conserve power. others will also say it's a problem with miui 9 itself that xiaomi needs to fix

latest firmware update has resolved my issues but i had to use outlook app for email as the stock email app notifications did not work

Home screen background picture no longer auto-rotates after latest update

When I turn my phone from portrait to landscape, the icons will rotate but the background wallpaper doesn't (anymore).
I think the latest Telstra update (downloaded it on 11 May) might have nobbled the ability for the background picture on the home screen to auto-rotate.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ - G955FTEL1CRD1 (<- I'm guessing this indicates Telstra firmware)
Nova Launcher Prime 5.5.3
Tried:
1. Nova Settings > Look & Feel > Screen Orientation
2. Notification Panel > Auto-rotate
3. Tried reverting to Touchwiz. There doesn't appear to be an appropriate setting under Settings Display > Home screen.
Nothing has helped.
Anyone else having this issue? Grateful for any advice.
regards

Hey everybody. I would like to know the same as I was developing live wallpapers that can rotate on homescreen but now can not test out the app anymore in landscape mode because of this stupid decision to take away a very useful feature. Any thought or solutions? I thinking about rolling back or completely erasing my phone just to get this back...

FYI: I have since seen online that this bug/feature was introduced by Samsung to supposedly add more differentiation with the S9 (sorry, didn't retain the website).
It looks like we're stuck with portrait images on S8/+ until some 3rd party app (eg Nova Launcher) reintroduces auto rotating.

Well...that sucks. Hopefully it is a bug. I called Samsung support this morning and made big complaint about it (nicely though) and the rep said she will pass the info to Samsung developers and inform the help reps to any inquiry of this problem. I hope they fix in the next update. The only thing I can think of is consumers complaining that live wallpaper get stuck in landscape mode on lock screen when lock screen don't support landscape.... or something like that..

I actually got a call back from the people at Samsung! I can confirm that this was intentional but the software engineers at Samsung realize that it was a mistake and I was told that they will fix this in a future update because to many called in about it. Hopefully soon!

Oreo Wallpaper "landscape orientation rotation bug" on Samsung
For now, and ever since my phone updated to Oreo with the Samsung wallpaper bug, I really dislike my phone. AT&T never updated my Nougat 7.0 to the updated version 7.1. Instead, they made a great stride, and I am thankful, to upgrade me to Oreo 8.0. Nougat never had a bug that I noticed. Now running on Oreo, the lockscreen stacked clock turned out to be a feature..but this issue.. with wallpaper not rotating in landscape. This causes my purchased live wallpapers to rain sideways and my purchased themes are ridiculous looking. And..all of this is constanly in my face like the stacked clock. With this bug, my only option is to request refunds for all purchases I have made as they no longer work as intended and are appalling to use and to look at, sorry to say. I neeeded this problem off my chest. Thank you so much for your time. I hope you are 100 percent functional always.

T-mobile ATE6 update really helped with autofocus issues! Check it out

So we all know the s20 series has had problems with auto focus especially in the ultra that one was really jacked up. I have the regular galaxy s20 and also have autofocus problems. I have done numerous things to try to make it better I even did a full reset which I normally never do because I would just clear cache and data of said app and it would clear things up. but not this time autofocus was hit or miss for sure and problematic. And for a $1,000 device this Just is not right and don't cut it for me... shoot my old one plus seven pro had better autofocus! and that thing was like 600 bucks. Anyway I am pleased to say that with this new update it is pretty much 100% autofocus is much faster, actually really fast. and 10 out of 10 for me focused instantly. hopefully I don't get in trouble for this if I have to take it down mods just let me know.

Auto update hasn't hit the US. Maybe we'll see it combined with a June security
update soon.
Edit: I see it is hitting T-mobile and other US carriers this morning, but still with May security patch. US unlocked got ATD1 at the beginning of the month, not sure if T-mobile ever got that one, or just skipped straight to ATE6.

Yes t-mobile dropped the update. Just updated mine Friday night May 22nd at 11pm. And I gotta say this update definitely improved on the camera auto focus. And for me it definitely boosted up my battery.

This just came in, installing now, is very fast, the fingerprint is very fast, this update size is 462 mb For the S20 Ultra on T Mobile G988U

Definitely noticing better auto focus after the update.
Now I'm looking forward to Samsung's promised update to allow native gestures to be used on 3rd party launchers. Wish I weren't so anal about small quirks of the gestures that FNG has but the native gestures are the best IMO.

Man, I hate this. I'm on an unlocked s20 ultra and tmobile somehow pushed it out before Samsung does.

Yep def improved some things with this update....things i have found are the auto focus is blazing fast now and seems like fingerprint is a tad quicker....also idk if its me or what but sound seems to have improved coming out of the speakers for sure

After T-Mobile ATE6, my Samsung Keyboard forcloses. Anyone having this issue? I had to use voice command to download GBoard from Playstore because I wasn't able to type anything at all. Matter fact, the keyboard itself doesn't pop up. I've also wiped cache and deleted data through apps. Galaxy store says it's version 5.0.21.0

the blinking light on screen when on a phone call is also gone but the Proximity is working fine.

Type this in adb connected to s20 ultra while on home screen. I use nova launcher and native gesture at the same time. You'll have to do it again if you change the navigation type in settings or if you restart the device.

So I converted my US unlocked to T-Mobile version (never thought I’d ever say that! Lol) and yes, it’s so much better now. Camera snaps to focus very quickly. Night shot seems better also.

At least for the Ultra, an easy way to know they aren't the same: the current ATD1 software on the unlocked phone doesn't have the new macro prompt. ATD1 has been out for a month, the new improvements in ATE6 just surfaced in the past week. But ATD1 did roll out with the May security update already, I expect unlocked will get the improvements of ATE6 with June security in a week or so.
