So... I saw a new firmware for Italy region has been released I8160XXNA1 (2014 January). Also the latest firmware for UK is I8160XXMK2 (2013 December). What is the difference between them? Is there any changelog? Why there is such a significant difference between release dates? Thank you for the answers! :good:

1+2: apparently (no official statements exist) it's faster (!) and has Google Drive preinstalled
3: marketing, I guess
and there are zero problems in installing an Italian one over an English one (as long as you don't mix standard/P/L/Chinese/HongKong models)

No But the answer is!
I'll try to keep it short as we already have a thread on what all noticeable has changed etc.
1: Upgrade or Not as of now is more of a subjective thing. What I may find might better/worse might be completely opposite for you, as a lot of minor things have changed. Given that most will succumb to some form of an update and have to accept what is made available to them at the time, it seems like updating should be perhaps a good enough consideration, however, check your region and firmware on sammobile.
I would advise against updating unless applicable firmware version for your region ends with MI1/MI2 or above (MJ1,MJ2..,MK1, ..) (I/J/K denote build months, in this case being september/october/november resp). There are noted issues across different region with older 4.2.2 firmwares. Mainly S-pen and Magnetic cover issues (alarm) which again may or may not be of any consequence to you.
Q2:. Why didn't you get an OTA? :
2.1: Is your Device factory Stock?.
2.2: Might have to do with that samsung has not released updates for your device region yet and perhaps also look into settings if auto OTA Updates are enabled.
I have updated my Note 8 today manually because it has not been available neither via OTA nor via KIES - a quick check on SAMMOBILE shows no 4.2.2 version published for my region. Therefore I decided to push manually the latest 4.2.2 XX version (XX in the name of the ROM means that it is for Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom).
Note that it is the third 4.2.2 XX release which I hope is good enough. Samsung has released 4.2.2 versions for a few other regions too dealing with the reported problems. I am not aware of any strict schedule region by region - it means that you may wait quite long for your regional version. Therefore I replaced my XE version (Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine) with the available XX one.
The update went smoothly even on my encrypted Note 8 and at first glance everything is running fine, every setup and data is preserved. The first thing I noticed was the "flatter" color palette as most of the contemporary changes in the colors. I do not see change in the performance, neither the sound quality for example...
There are some minor improvements in the 4.2.2 user interface which I was missing in 4.1.2 and they were the second driver for the upgrade. The main was the sheer curiosity .
So, it is really up to you whether you will go for your manual update

They are both the latest CSC for the I9195. I9195OXACNH5 is for Germany and I9195OXXCNI1 is for France. I currently use I9195OXXCNI1 as there isn't an official KitKat release for the UK market.
What is the difference between I9195OXACNH5 and I9195OXXCNI1? I9195OXACNH5 is about 20mb bigger.

CSC doesn't make much difference. PDA is the same (NH5) so both firmwares are almost identical.
Just received my new M9 from Vodafone UK - I have firmware 1.32.161.15.
Keen to try the most recent firmware updates as reported in various places believe it is x.xx.xxx.33 which has updated camera settings.
Anyone know how to do this on the vodafone UK network? Or have nay idea when it might be released?
Cheers!
Sam
I believe it was only USA versions that needed the camera update. International already had the update on release I think
Ah OK, that's good to know, thanks!

When is my 10.5 T800 going to get the OTA of lollipop i need SD write and i dont want to flash or root, tried Kies today 21/04/15 and it says Kitkat is the latest for me.
Is there a Samsung list of who is getting what and when.
Thanks.
John.
Some countries have not irreal (?too strong?) customer protect rules, they are the firsts (Sweden, Norway, France, Holland). I think we will get totally same OTA.

Haha I only live a few miles away from you (Hebburn)
I check every day on a couple of sites.
Sammobile.com click on firmware
samsung.youmobile.org
A brother Geordie , thanks for the links, I really want to wait a couple of days after it is released to make sure it`s safe before i upgrade, I usually use a wifi app to transfer files to my 10.5 but cannot do it at the moment and i dont like plugging and un-plugging all the time.
EDIT: So France are currently get it, so hopefully it will not be long for the UK.
Thanks
John.
I downloaded the French version and installed using Odin. I live in the UK and I really don't know what Samsung's issue is with having a worldwide release that is a hell of a lot quicker than this . It's not like they are releasing 5.1 is it? This is probably the best Android tablet you can get at the minute and the support it is getting from Samsung is a travesty.
Has not v5.0.2 that is rolling out in France got the memory leak problem, and v5.1.1 has the leak fixed.

Before you talk about the memory leak, I'm pretty sure it's in the bootanimation. Samsung uses qmg in which in this article, and from my testing, appears to be no memory leak. http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/android-5-0-lollipop-bootanimation-causes-memory-leak-how-fix-1488246

From the link above.
Does this mean Samsung phones/tabs are not affected.
John.
"I'm almost certain that other Android 5.0 Lollipop ROMs may have the same problem (except for Samsung's Touchwiz - Touchwiz uses qmg format and I was unable to reproduce this bug on Touchwiz)," states the developer.

Spain still waiting oficial OTA...
Not got it in the UK yet either, or at least I don't
This is my first and last Samsung device. I cannot understand how they can postpone Lollipop update to Unlocked devices with no Carrier related connections. Why in ^&*()^ half of Europe need to wait months for Lollipop and other half can already use it? Where is difference between (for example) Norway unlocked and Sweden Unlocked? And there is more - many carrier locked devices already has Lollipop. Usually unlocked devices get updates first. But in Samsung world it's all around. Other manufacturers divide their updates in "unlocked" and "carrier related". Samsung divides them in "I'm drunk and I want to mess everything up" :cyclops:
Hope everyone gets lollipop until the end of summer.
Sorry!
If you're European, just flash any European firmware through Odin.
The OS is the same. Only the freebies are different (extra apps, free six month of some services) as they may be tied to local market.
It's no harder than an OTA update.
If you must, you can flash your local firmware over the top later when it's out. Without loss of apps.
Upon moving from 4.4 to 5.0, a factory reset may be recommended. Opinions seem to differ on that and it may dependent on what apps you're using
Disclaimer: I haven't updated my 8.4... Was also waiting for my own local 5.0.2 and/or a bit of free time, whichever comes first... But on my old Galaxy Tab 1st gen, I installed American, Indian and Austrian firmware... It doesn't matter much.

You could say that the one's who get it last will have a newer version as it does get updated.
I'm in the UK and I flashed mine with the Taiwan version as the build date is April, for most it's March. Very easy to flash.
Kitkat work's great, with Lollipop I haven't noticed any performance benefit.
No UK
Not in the UK yet sadly
I dont think UK will get it for some time.
Time to install the french version :crying: :crying:
Hi,
Since 21st of October I am the owner of a Note 10+ an awsome phone and again better than all previous Notes I had since Note 2
But the weird thing is that my Note 10+ is not updating. Bought in the Netherlands with Baseband N975FXXU1ASI1
and Sw version
SAOMC_SM-N(&%F_OXM_XEF_PP_0009
RF8M90BY7SD
XEF/XEF_XEF/VD2
I do understand that this phone was produced for the French market?
After unboxing the update which is still the "up to date one" is the 1 September security update
After this update I learned that Samsung send 3 more updates the security updates October, November and a service update end of October. regarding the Fingerprint scanner
Who knows how I can get the proper updates even when OTA is not working
Thansk in advance for your help :good:
PH
Had the same problem with my DTM Firmware, to solve it i flashed the (in my case) DBT CSC with the newest firmware and now I get every update.
Some sellers imported the phone from other markets, countries. So they can buy the phone cheaper and make more profit. It's legal. But as it comes to update, your phone gets them when the country where they are imported from and not as they release in your own country. You can see the worldwide schedule at www.sammobile.com But if something is wrong, you won't have Samsung guarantee. Only the sellers guarantee.
I ordered my Note10+ directly from Samsung in The Netherlands, and updates are fine. This month I have already received 2 updates. You could indeed try to change the CSC.

Hi i also have the same problem, my latest update was the December 2019 one with the android 10 one ui 2.0. i didnt get any updates since then. i flashed the german firmware in December from Samfrew(like Sammobile) and i bought my phone from Egypt(IN September). is it safe if i download the latest update, will it overwrite with the current one causing issues? i never downloaded the software twice? And can i use Home_CSC and not CSC??
My phone is Note10+ Exynos SM-N975F
Thanks
