Develop Bugs

When will 4.0.3 start rolling out?

Did google say anything about 4.0.3 for the nexus?

From what I've heard, it was supposed to start rolling out already, Google found some quirks or bugs so they decided to pull it back. I'm sure we'll start to see it within a week or two.

I feel the same way. Caused me nothing but small heart attacks when I was flashing a rom and I thought I was bricking my phone.
Although I say that now but when I get my phone ill probably end up modding it lol

I've owned 10+ android phones in 3 years. Modding them/putting on different roms/etc would have its benefits, but in the end it just caused nothing but issues (either major or annoying minor ones).
And when I put the phone completely back to stock, it just never ran as good as it did when it really was stock before I started modding.

That was in reference to the rollout OTA for the GSM Nexus S. It wasn't halted as much as they're doing a staggered rollout to catch bugs etc. and gauge reactions.

+1 Learnt the lesson from the developer tablet, the Xoom. Rooted it expecting great advantages and then discovered rooted Xooms couldn't rent movies, no longer got ota updates (but still got the annoying update messages)....
I flashed my HTC because they didn't have the gingerbread update for the Desire z for months and to get rid of sense. Flashed my Samsung SG2 to get rid of touchwiz.
But don't see any reason to mess with Google's best efforts - particularly with Wallet and the like being a big part of this phone's future (the thought of some stranger having complete control over my system when using my phone to pay for things worries me).
Still no update in Australia. Still on 4.0.1 and my phone is the Google direct version.

The chase stops when you stop looking for a ROM with all the features you want and make your own.

I think it depends a lot on how much you are willing to mod for example, when I went and upgraded to 4.0.2 my radio updated as well which made my GPS useless so I modded and downgraded my radio back and I have never been happier.
And once voodoo mod makes its way to the galaxy nexus I don't think it would be easy just letting it slip by...

So now you have to buy a phone and make your own software on top of it ?
I liked to flash mods on my Nexus One, it was fun, I found the CyanogenMod pretty good for me. But I did not root my Galaxy Nexus yet and I don't really feel the need to, except to get the official updates.
I think that as soon as Google released the 4.0.3 source code, they should have released the OTA for the Galaxy Nexus as well as the Nexus S. I compiled the official 4.0.3 from the source, but I can't flash it because I did not root my device. I find this a bit strange.

You don't need to be rooted to "flash" what you built. Just fastboot oem unlock to unlock your bootloader and fastboot flash the images.

Most definitely, but for now I'm back to stock;
Woke up this morning to find my phone bootlooping, I tried everything to rectify the problem, 2 slice of toast and a mug of tea later I had to resort to a factory image reflash at a cost of losing all of my data

I thought they postponed it for Nexus S because of high battery power consumption by Android OS process. Anyway, I too was wondering when it's going to pop up for us. Any more info on the matter ?

You're right. But rooting is not the real problem for me. My problem is unlocking and reseting the phone. I don't want to loose all my data (including game saves !) but the only way I can save them is ... to be root. I will do it eventually, but it still bothers me

what can i do with this phone? (brightness fix?)

im dealing with this Note 4 from verizon for someone right now and i cant get to do anything with this damn locked bootloader!
due to a unrelated issue i upgraded the phone to LP and now i cant root. but to make matters worse the brightness cant be lowered. i read how to fix it but i need a custom recovery to install the zip, i cant install a custom recovery because i cant root.
i tried downgrading but i cant because of the bootloader (Bootloops at verizon logo). cant install mulitsystem because of no root because of that bootloader. its a infinite loop. as much as i want root ill settle for fixing the brightness.

Turn on power saver mode. It dims the screen

What do you mean it won't lower? Restart device than try. Factory reset and see if lowers. If still no, get replacement device.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app

Turning on power savings didn't work.
And factory resetting also does not work.
The phone is OK, brightness control works in kk but it's a bug of upgrading to lollipop it's even stated in the list but below the list is a fix zip but I can't flash it because of no custom recovery

Request a replacement from Verizon. I have never heard of brightness issues with Lollipop

I can't send this to verizon I brought from eBay and replaced a part inside. And I force update to lollipop, no ota. It's a common issue with this phone if you update but I was supposed to root then update.

Do you pay for total equipment coverage? If so none of that should really matter. Unless you modified the phone i doubt they will notice a replacement part.

sure didn't. i brought the phone full knowing all responsibility for it. but sending it ti repair is totally out of the question, that would leave me phone less for some time. and plus i kind of have a thing against sending things in for repair 0_0

Actually, it's AOH5, but I haven't figured out the changes yet.

Not sure if it's the fact that my phone was rebooted during the update, but it's very smooth after the update.

Same here. Anyone knows the changelog?? :\

54 packages updated. I didn't get a chance to pull the update. Probably just the stagefright stuff, samsung fixes, and at&t making their preloads more annoying. I don't see anything new popping up at me.
New APK: /system/priv-app/AmazonInstaller_ATT/AmazonInstaller_ATT.apk (this is in addition to the previous amazon shopping apk.)

Mine is rebooting now. ..

I'm believing the performance part. I can't put my finger on it, but the phone is running nicely post update.

Mine's been having issues connecting to and keeping connected to LTE, maybe this fixes it?
Or maybe Carrier Aggregation??? Hey i can dream

Great update. Phone faster, smoother, more responsive with all bugs fixed AND it's solved the world famine problem.

I would just Update my friend!

This is going to sound really strange...but can anyone who has updated their phone -and- has a Samsung wireless charging pad that has been unreliable with maintaining a charging status see if it works better now?
I have read others who have Note 5s say that a software update helped fix the problems they were having with their Samsung wireless charging pads so I was wondering if this update helped ATT Note owners.
I'm trying to induce a flashing blue error in my pad right now, but so far I've re-positioned my phone about four times and it's stayed solid blue each time. Kind of frustrating because I just processed a refund for it via Amazon.

May just be my imagination but it seems that my fingerprint reader is a lot quicker and more accurate. I had been having issues since installing a tempered glass screen protector, but now works the first time every time.

Yeah, It's like a complete reversal now. Before I had to struggle to find a position that kept the wireless charger blue (charging) but now I can't seem to get it to switch to flashing blue (not or minimal charging). Very strange. I mean, it's awesome...but I'm still hoping to get some more feedback before I cancel my Amazon refund.

I'm still waiting on a miracle root. I'm gonna hold off for a little bit. Lol

Nice, what's the current security patch on the phone now?

Out of the box it has the July 1st security patch level. Baseband version is VRU1APG9.

Just got the notification on my Note 7 that this update is ready to install. It is listed as @Justinphxaz stated MMB29M.N930VVRS1APH1.

I am installing an update as I type ..it has just been updated to this build : MMB29M.N930VVRS1APH1

I just updated and everything appears to be working just fine. Placed a couple calls without any issues. Phone is as fast as it was before.

Updated and running okay here.

Report back with any battery issues. I remember I installed the July patch on my note 5 and it Seemed like my battery just went to crap.

Don't update! Less likely to get root since it's only a security patch?

Mine updated as soon as I got home yesterday.

I'm not letting mine update yet, seems weird that I have the option to allow OEM unlocking. I want to try to reboot bootloader in adb and see if it'll even allow it.

Root is probably never coming to the Note 7 on Verizon, just like it still hasn't come for the Note 5, I wouldn't worry about it.

I'm itching to hear more. Where did you see the option to unlock? I'm wondering if the update will remove that. Would be a good explanation for an immediate update

It's in developer options, and now I have a permanent notification for the update. It won't clear until I take it. But that's okay, I've gone weeks leaving update notifications to make sure I wasn't going to get screwed.

The oem unlock toggle appears on most phone's nowadays: meaningless and updates don't have any effect. The phone has to be bootloader unlocked.

I sincerely doubt root will be achieved on this device. It was only achieved on the S7 Edge because of a leaked engineering kernel and not an exploit. I'm not overly concerned about obtaining root on this model. It pretty much does what I want it to do.

Apparently there is an engineering kernel already leaked on the Sprint Note 7 forums. They are currently trying to get it to flash correctly now.

Canadian Note 7 - Root

The first units out up here have a locked bootloader. I would imagine the replacements do too. There was an engineering firmware from Sprint that you could flash to get root, but I'm not sure what happens after you're on it.. i.e. I don't think you can get off of it (at least easily), no recovery, no custom ROMs, etc..
There are a number of users who returned their W8 Note7 and bought a F or FD model, as the Exynos variant has an unlocked bootloader, recovery, root, etc..

I wish. I also have a W8 Note7. So far I've decided to keep it, although it hasn't been exchanged yet (registered, but coral blue and waiting forever). I may sell it and get a F or FD variant once known good ones are easily available.. or may get something else.. who knows..
For reference, see THIS post for the steps about the engineering bootloader/firmware. Feel free to read through that thread, but from everything I've read the bootloader is truly locked on our devices.
Oh, OEM unlock is a feature added in lollipop. As far as I know it's a standard feature and doesn't reflect the actual ability to unlock the bootloader. Disabling it can remove the FRP lock though.. Yes, I do know you need to use that when flashing ROMs, I had a HTC 10, S7 Edge (W8 Exynos model), and many other Androids before, and I rooted every single one of them. This is the first device I haven't, which is why I'm on the fence..

Just use the Spring Userdebug root and you will be good to go. Instructions are pretty basic. I have the N930W8 as well. The advantage is that you dont void your warranty or trip knox, but then you are stuck on an unchangablr kernel and cannot flash roms/kernels until someone decides to include the system.img and old kernel in their roms, which would be a lost cause, since maybe 3 people have rooted their canadian note 7's xD
BTW, can anyone help me out with systemui? I flashed the modded systemui that includes rom control, and can no longer use samsungs interaction control, which I absolutely need. Please help me out with possibly a zip I can flash that resets systemui to stock?

I used this on my original Note 7 as well as the replacement.
I got my replacement last friday, the phone was said to be manufactured Sep 6th, but I was definitely able to flash sprints userdebug on my new replacement..
I'm running it now, and its actually doing much better than the older device. Much much snappier and longer lasting.
Then again, you mentioned an update, and I usually avoid such things so I hadnt noticed any update. Could you ellaborate on that please? With some links if you can? ^.^

You must have got the device rooted before it updated....nice one!
The new firmware which gives the fixed devices the green battery icon and bad ones a big fat warning to turn the device in. And in some cases limits the charging to 60% tops.
I have all my update crap turned off so avoided it and some like you got lucky..others the damn phone updated immediately and others it came with the firmware.
You cannot odin the previous firmware either..its blocked. And there is no root for it even on unlocked bootloader devices like my dual sim exynos
Its all over the forums bro, easy to find more info but thats the overview of it.

I'm super thankful I blocked the update services with Package Disabler right away then.. I didnt even intend to do it, but I figured I would just in case. I have to reflash the userdebug again though, theres no way it would auto update right?

I dont like It either but under the circumstances i do understand why they would force an OTA like this.

Just managed to reflash sprint userdebug and root again (on the replacement). I was sketching out hard during the setup, saying to myself over and over "oh my god please dont auto update".
Thanks for all your help! Sucks that the Note 7 is essentially dead now, considering only very little people will have a rooted note 7.
