[Q] Latest firmware - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

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.

No idea....most of what Seek puts in his post about the flashed phone is very evident. They claim a battery fix is in there too...no way to tell yet. I searched the ms site...I didn't see an update notice yet
I just got it too....
I just got update too and the phone seems faster all around....Mine just encountered the bug today and went nuts...had to reformat and start over....If only it had come a few minutes sooner!!!!

I hard reset after update anyway....so it makes no matter to me. I keep docs and pics online...and use reinstaller....and so its fairly painless
My " green dot " phone got an update notification too, I'm hooking it up now to see if it does anything.
yeah im use to format
yeah im use to format...I had original focus with the sd card fiasco!!!
Hmmm, its updating my phone too. I'm skeptical to why, unless the "Green Dot" fixed phones were missing some of the fixes Nokia intended.
After the update, my phone now get no signal what so ever. Reboot, get the signal back. But after one phone call, no signal again. The update seems to make it worse.
wow nokia is fast at updating
My Firmware updated from 2175.1000.8112.12082 to 2175.1002.8112.12084
I had incredible battery life before the update, I hope I don't lose that. Maybe it will be even better???
from here:
http://www.wpcentral.com/nokia-lumia-900-update-now-live
"Well my phone is now stably locked onto 4G. No more hunting around like before. Its hard to prove a negative but this seems pretty good so far!"
Any luck for us Canadians ?? I am not seeing it via Zune
No update for Camada ? Wake up Rogers !
Nothing for Canada. I'm sure we'll see it this time next year, though.
Just installed the update. Scrolling is better. Still nothing compared to my HD7.
Load times are noticeably faster though.

try a hard reset?
I just want to know if any of you noticed that after the update that the screen color has changed in low light. I noticed that my keyboard is now a warmer color, like purpleish when brightness is set to low and if it is set to medium or high it is gray. It is bothering me because when brightness is set to auto and when i'm browsing the web I notice the color change from purple to gray when the automatic brightness changes from low to medium.
I know for sure my phone was gray on low, medium and High before I had it replaced for a mic issue. The new phone I got already had the updated software installed. I was just wondering if the new phone I got has a defective screen.

Firmware update for Bell SGSIII...any idea what it is?

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

[Q] Screen tearing during landscape scrolling

Had my Nexus 7 for a few days now. When in landscape mode I've had the screen tear(for lack of a better word) during scrolling. The left third of the screen will scroll at a different rate then the other two thirds. It always catches up and lines up perfectly. A reboot will fix the problem but it has always come back after a day or so.
My unit is 16gb running whatever the latest is from google.
Is this a known issue or do I need to be returning the unit and getting a replacement?
I just got my Nexus 7 two weeks ago and I have the same issue. It's annoying. Is it a software issue or hardware? Any fix? This version has been out almost a year now.
Same issue. It is like 1/8th of the screen moves at a different rate then the rest of the screen. Results in wavy screen distortion in a vertical line.
Try going to developer settings (if you dont see it, go to about device and tap the build number till it says youre a developer) and check force gpu rendering for 2d animations. This will take some of the load off the cpu and maybe help with the screen tearing.
Done before i think

I did this before i think and all it did was move the tear to the left of the screen a bit more making less noticeable.
It's not a hardware issue.
Ever since the Lollipop update 5.0.1, my tablet feels quite laggy too. The only solution i found so far was to restart it from time to time. I'll be flashing the 5.0.2 update soon. We'll see how that'll go.
Edit: I just tried to sideload the 5.0.2 update and it seems it has a new bootloader or something because I got the "Footer is wrong - Signature verification failed" error. Yeah my tablet still on locked bootloader. Too much effort to backup my data. I guess I'l have to wait for OTA.
I just got my second nexus 7 2013 and have the same issue. Never noticed it on my first one but then again i only had 4.4.4 on it. I'm worried this could be a hardware issue. I reboot solves it for a few days and then it returns. Can anyone confirm if this is hardware related, if not is there a fix? Thanks

New update - 4BQA4

So I got this update today and of course the "learn more" link just pointed to the 4BQA2 update, which was just the first Nougat release, which I already had.
Anyone know anything about this one? It still says Android version 7.0, and the security patch level is 2/1/17. The kernel is 3.18.31 and is dated March 13th. The full build number is NRD90M.G930VVRU4BQA4

I just got it also, claims to improve wifi. My wife and I were just discussing that the GPS has been a bit laggy lately, maybe this will help that, too.
Yep just Wi-Fi fixes. Nothing to improve battery. Fail. still 7.0.0

Checked SamMobile & Update.com & still no download link. Anyone know when or if they've released one yet?
Got it the other day as well
So far, no issues with the latest update. Still wish they'd fix the "switch keyboards" issue. Really annoying to go into the manage keyboards section and turn off all the other keyboards and leave the one on that you want to switch to. Otherwise, really happy with this. I got 20 hours on one charge and had about 27% left in battery. This was after playing games, reading email, reading news, surfing the web, texting and phone calls. I do have it on the mid-power saving mode, and I use the App Power Monitor that currently has about 89 apps flagged to be put to sleep when they're in the background. That really helps and is a built-in Greenify in Nougat. Really nice.
I wrote in another thread.
Can someone help? I just got the update to QA4,decided to go thru with the verizon wireless assistance programme via usb cable,now phone stuck on verizon screen bootloop. Any suggestions to save the day?
Update : safe mode doesnt boot up,either.
Can anyone confirm if this update fixes the Samsung calendar app from keeping the screen on when a reminder or calendar event pops up while the screen is off? This was introduced for me with the original nougat update.

Is the behavior you see?
Set screen timeout for 15 seconds. Set up a meeting in google calendar with starting in 7 minutes and reminder 5 minutes before meeting. Then wait for reminder on lock screen to pop up, don't touch anything and let screen timeout. See if screen will get activated again and go off after 2nd screen timeout.
If you get the same behavior, please report. I think there is something wrong with this as if you had a meeting reminder and the phone in you pocket, the phone battery will drain fast and phone gets hot of course.
Thanks
The behavior you described is similar except that the screen turns on for the initial reminder, then it times out and comes on again, times out and then turns on again and this is an endless cycle until I dismiss the reminder. I thought factory reset would fix it... But nope.

They fixed it by removing it. Asus Dev's vocabulary is very limited, it seems.
Dang! I can't open my camera after the update, I've already reset my phone..

So far the battery looks okay. There's no issue with the heating but it's been two days so is not reliable data.
Good night.
I would like to know if somebody has an issue with the face unlock in the last update? In the WW9 worked very well but on this last one I noticed that didn't work.

Face unlock is not safe option.
Most Android phones with plain front cameras have non-safe face unlock feature. You can use picture of yourself and it will unlock aswell, that's how unsafe it is.
Only smartphones with proper face unlock are safer that scans for eyes and such.

I installed this update on Monday morning - Tencent WW owner here.
Coming from the previous Android 10 version, I have found the battery life to back to being how it felt with the last of the Android 9 updates.
I have also found my notifications behaving again, previously I found the WhatsApp notification to go missing - however the dot on the icon was still there. But this now appears to be resolved.
Do you have direct unlock option? (When you use face unlock, it does not stay on notifications screen, and goes to home screen directly)
I had this option before this update, and now it is missing?
The device is Tencend Games 512/12 with WW Rom.

Yes, mine was that way too, it is an option called "direct unlock" if you search in settings, you'll find it. I had it on my ROG I, i had it on my WW ROG II, i had it on this CN ROG II with android 9 (WW), now with this latest update it is gone...

2001.60 incremental update to .32 latest
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261774094
And
2002.21 build update to latest .32

I am having sound/media issues. There is no sound in games and videos play like a slideshow. I have tried MX Player and the video plays (no sound) but only when i switch to HW+ mode. All this only happened after this update as i was playing a game perfectly fine with sound and media was working days before when i tried it last but this update has rendered my phone unusable.
Is there a way to downgrade from this update?
PS:- If ANYONE has this problem, you need to set your AudioWizard to 'Normal' as the Custom profile (& with anything else other then Normal for that matter) is causing this problem. Restart and select the Normal profile in the middle of all the freezing and force closing then restart again and you'll be good to go.
