My updated failed, I'm assuming due to the fact that I have CWM installed, so I'm just wondering if anyone else got this update and what it is. Is it JellyBean? Or just some minor update that's pretty much irrelevant?
I'd like to know wha it is before I go on and remove CWM
Cheers
not JellyBean but there only minors updates, like you will now have the brightness and auto adjustment on the notification bar.
but other then that haven't seen anything else
I got the update too must be preparing for jb 100mb file just for brightness settings and it didn't change our version number so hopefully it's coming soon
I noticed that the animation when making our receiving a call has changed also when texting a contact it displays their number under their name and the attachments button is now on the left side of the screen instead of under the send button

So since updating to the newest software I noticed that when the dialer is opened it sets the system volume and ringer volume way up. It never fails. Every time it does it. I set my volumes way down in my office, but now when I make a call I have to turn them back down. Very annoying. I read some others have this too, so I'm just checking with everyone. Who else has this happened to?
Nobody else has this issue?

Surprise was great to find out i have the exact same issue? Have'nt noticed this before? Now would like a sollution.
Hello,nothing change for me, i don't know what this update ( about 20 Mo ) brings again ...
Hello. I purchased the Epic 4G Touch two days ago from Best Buy, and I've realised that the notification light doesn't work correctly. When it's plugged in and charging it glows red, and when it's done charging it glows blue. But when it's not plugged in and I get an email, text, missed call, voicemail or Gmail notification, the light doesn't light up. I've checked that SETTINGS > DISPLAY > PULSE NOTIFICATION LIGHT is ticked, and it was. I've unticked it, shutdown, R+R battery, rebooted and re-ticked it, and still I have no light notifications.
I haven't rooted the phone, it's basically as it was out of the box, on Android 4.0.4, FH13, using the stock messaging app, stock email app for AOL mails, and the Gmail app. I can't see in any of those apps that I have to turn on LED notification, so I don't know what I'm not doing correctly.
Second question is that the guy at Best Buy told me that I should install the Battery Charged Silencer app from play.google.com/store/apps/ details?id=cz.psencik.simple.silence so that my phone doesn't beep in the night when it's done charging, Well, that's all well and good, but my phone doesn't beep when it's done charging, and actually, I'd like it to -- at least during the day -- so how do I make it so that it does beep when fully charged?
Third, I've noticed that the phone's brightness changes occasionally, but only when I open the browser. It's isn't because of Auto brightness, because it happens when I'm stationary in a room where the lighting level hasn't changed (and I don't use Auto brightness anyways). I usually set my phone to be pretty dim, but the browser is often much brighter than that when I open it. When I'm lying in bed, especially, I don't want to get blinded or disturb "Mrs me" when I access the internet. Does the browser have it's own brightness setting? If so I can't find it, so how do I set the browser brightness to be the same as the rest of the phone's? Or do I just have a dodgy screen light?
Also regarding the stock browser, coming from an Android 2.2 handset I fully expected things to be different, but I can't get the browser to open my bookmarks or give me access to the address bar unless I scroll back up to the top of the page. Am I missing something really obvious here, or is that just how it is now? It used to be that pressing the Menu button would let me do that, but it doesn't seem to work that way any more, and it's really annoying to have to scroll to the top of a very long page when I want to go to open a new page.
Fourthly, I know that the pre-installed apps can be deleted, and might have to do it with TelenavGPS. I clicked the app, which popped up with a notification that said "An update is required". I tapped the "update now" button, which opened the browser which opened Play Store, but the Play Store says the app is up to date. Should I delete it and re-download from the Store, or just delete it and stick with the Google Maps/Google Navigation apps? Why does Sprint install this when Google's comes installed as well? Is it supposed to be better?
And the last thing I'm confused about at this point is when I'm in the app drawer and tap the Menu Button and then Edit. When I tap the minus sign next to an app, it pops up with "This application will be deleted" and a Yes and a No button, but it isn't clear (to me) whether it will get deleted from my phone or just deleted from the app drawer.
Thanks for any help or info anyone can give me about these things. I know they don't seem like major problems, but they niggle at me and I can't help but worry that I picked the wrong phone or have a faulty one (with regards to the bad notification light and random dimming and brightening at least) that I need to exchange while I'm in my return period.
Browser has its own brightness settings. Hit menu and scroll down. Its right there.
Yes the address bar will scroll out of the screen when you scroll down.
No idea about the beep. Notification led should work. May be some one stock can check on that.
Remove telenav. Use google maps.

LED used to work on gingerbread for me but never on ICS TOUCHWIZ, works on AOSP though. Since I'm in a touchwiz ROM I'm just using blink app to make it work.

I use the app light flow for my notifications and make it blink blue. The app blink also works.
Not sure about telenav, never had any issues. You have to be rooted to remove some stock apps like the Sprint and Samsung stuff and I highly recommend it.
Notification LED was broken in FF18 and FH13 OTA releases. It is now fixed in FI27 which will be available OTA soon, also available via Kies.

I'm sorry, I'm such a noob, what exactly is TOUCHWIZ? I've read bits about it being an interface or something, but other than that...

I don't mind rooting, as long as I can still get OTA updates and stuff..
Still wondering about the charge complete notification beep.. do the phones beep or not beep when charged?

Touchwiz is the Samsung launcher/ui just like HTCs sense and motos blur. My phone has never beeped when it was charged, and download and install kies on your PC and see if fi27 is available. Or check the fi27 discussion thread in general sub forum

Of you press the minus button it will be deleted from your phone.
I bought an e4gt sometime arounf august i think and my notification never worked either... even on stock el29 gb.... until i flashed shadowgod's Universe 2.0 rom.... then it worked! i was like holy crap!!!!!!!!! i didnt think this phone had a notification light and then i tried stock kernals.... no led light. but when i flashed a kuban or agat kernal BOOM! there was my notification light!
Sometimes a faint circle icon shows up in the notification bar (see attached screenshot), anybody knows what it is ?
If i pull down the notification bar there's nothing unusual there. It is also interesting that it disappeared after i took the screenshot ...
LE: I have stock 4.1.2 right now, but I noticed it also showed up before (stock 4.1), so it's not from the latest update ...

My guess would be that it is an app you have installed. I do not have a dot on my galaxy nexus right now. I would factory reset then reinstall whatever Rom you are using if it is not an app you have installed.
That is a Google now notification. For me I usually get that when there's a weather update or a time to leave notification.

that looks like the gps locating indicator, shut off gps and see if it goes away
@BlueCuda: i know it is some app but the question is which one ... and it doesn't bother me that much to do a factory reset, it just shows up every now and then ...
@msavic6: maybe it is a google now notification, but if this is true:
- why did it disappeared instantly after taking the screenshot
- why does it show up every now and then (once in a few weeks maybe), i would rather expect it to be displayed on a more regular pattern ( at least daily) since I have wifi and sync on most of the day and the evening so the weather gets updated often, and i have meetings in my calendar every day ...
@jaymazz13: that is not the gps/location icon, please have a look at the screenshot (gps was off anyway)
btw , i have stock android 4.1.2 ...
that is in fact the google now card notification, whenever you have a card in the notification bar it will appear, swipe away the google now notification in your status bar and notice: it disappears
Ive noticed that when my screen goes off and I hit the home button to wake it back up sometimes when it turns back on it shows me the recent apps list as if I held the home button down. Only started happening since latest update. Confirmed happening on stock and frosty jelly bean latest build.. has anyone else noticed this? Btw I have pattern lock as lock screen
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Yep - and if you disable the lockscreen it happens pretty much every time. How the home button is handled changed from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, which is where the issue stems from I believe. It takes a little smali hacking to fix it (though to be fair I would consider the fix that I am trying as being in testing still).
Can you share how to resolve this issue. I don't think T-Mobile has fixed the issue and it is driving me nuts. I don't want a lock screen so that is not a good solution for me. I also prefer not to root at this point.
Thanks for any help!
It requires root unfortunately... though I suppose I could try to throw it into an ODINable tar similar to the prerooted tar thats out there...
I have no idea whether we will ever see lollipop on this device but I have just received a firmware update, not really sure what has been updated but it does seem to speed up the performance of the device significantly. Has anyone else seen this or have any idea what the update is?
Check out what it is in Settings>About... It'll tell you what version Android you have...

I know which version of Android I have, still 4.4.2 but I'm just wondering if anyone has any idea what this firmware upgrade actually changes.
They want to know the build number, eg XXUBDA1 or whatever, the fact its 4.4.2 is a given
After the last update the tablet looks faster, but I notice a very very annoying issue. After scrolling a Web page, or closing the notification drawer I can clearly see the screen flickering for half a second. It's not very strong, just a little lowering and increasing in brightness level, but it's really noticeable and it makes the screen unpleasant to watch. Is it a bug or a hardware issue? I already disabled auto brightness, adaptive display ecc. The problem is always there
Is NK2 or OB1 the latest firmware? They both show same date on Sammobile.
