Update Software? - WebOS Software and Hacking General

I just got my touchpad and saw that there was an update. Should I update? or Should i just leave it in the older software?

Update it. You will be glad you did. There isn't a downside to it, but you will need to keep an eye over the download to keep it going.

Samsung firmware world. Google it. Not on samsung website. Its not an official release yet. And it does not fix gps. It helps a little but really not worth it. Just be patient and wait till september when it becomes official. That's probably your best bet. I am running it currently and not impressed really, plus there are issues with apps missing after updating.

I really don't know what the fuss is about. i don't use my gps that much but i did the quick gps fix and it seems to work fine. it finds me in seconds and locks in. i don't lose the signal anything. I think maybe setting are not set correctly. who knows who cares. no need gps. google maps is just fine for me to look up stuff. I just want Froyo. It be so nice. For now stock android is fine too.
Edit: Try this new firmware just released this morning. Maybe there is a fiix. I haven't flashed it yet. I phone is all mummy-fied. Just applied the phantom-skinz and wrapped it with white tape. I will try it later this evening though. I want to know what is new on the new rom.

This doesn't belong in the Dev section.
Also, look before asking. Do some research - the info is here if you read some threads.
- what if someone sent you a link to a porn malware site - would you just click it?
no fix yet!!!

No one knows. Samsung is updating the Galaxy S i9000 phones - but that Froyo build is not for us. It may not be until December for USA phones. No one knows.

I been waiting? Nobody knows when the official is going to drop. You are not the only person waiting for it. Install the leaked and be happy with that for now.

Just root it already, you won't be disappointed.
I'm waiting too. My phone has cognition 2.2 but I'm making my wife keep her's stock so I know when the update rolls out.

That's Samsung UK press release. Nothing related to Samsung US.
So, if UK is getting update until end of Nov, US won't start until Dec. at the earliest.

Favor please

why are people so concerned about Gingerbread? I bet at least half of the people who kept asking for Gingerbread does not even know why they wanted it. I'd like to see what is the main reason people need it. I understand it's the latest version and it got some cool features but does it really affect the phone that much? I'd rather ask LG to fix some of the issues they have now rather than the Gingerbread... just my 2 cents...
I thought the wordage (yes I did) of my tweet would display the humor in was going for. Now I did mean it don't let the smooth taste fool ya. But you guys are so he'll bent on making people feel stupid you didn't even notice it.
I didn't start this thread for scrubs to come in and flame. I want Gingerbread for the same reason I buy a new phone every 2-3 months. Because it's new. I know how to root my phone, I have every ROM stored on my phone so I can play with it in my spare time, but what's wrong with wanting an official update?
And don't you think an official update would come with bug fixes?
This forum has gone to ****, you ****ers need to get off your high horses and chill out. =D
But if you want a list.
Improved UI
Improved power management
Improved copy/paste
Those are the features I want. Keyboard seems nice too but I can download that now.
Anyways thanks for taking your time to try and ruin my day, but you failed.
On the brighter side of thews.
did you read about the guy who pocket dialed 911 while planning his next heist? Classic fail.

Another good reason is to allow easier porting of the latest versions of MIUI.

I agree.
I think LG rushed the phone out the market. It's time to get our phones working right with a update from LG

Flipboard is awesome on Fire!!

Somebody has extracted the APK of flipboard from Galaxy S3 which was supposed to be exclusive. Just installed it on my Fire & it works brilliantly!!!!
Download from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1644212
I KNOW, RIGHT?! I. Cannot. Stop. Looking. At. It.
It's horrible on the iPhone, glad I can get some use out of it now on a bigger, nicer screen. .
Thanks for the link, downloaded it with breakfast. By the way is it only available in portrait mode?
Yes. The tablet UI isn't ready yet. The Flipboard team made the app ready for the SGS2III phone and was planning on releasing it later on for everyone else.
love it.....

This is one of those apps where you slap yourself in the forehead. So simple and such an awesome interface that should have been obvious, but somehow wasn't.
So yeah, I like it. Love the big text, too. I am old fart and don't need my reading glasses with it.
Thanks for the heads up. Just installed it and love it!

Great !!

Go to the op and then to the forum he got it from..there's an updated apk. Make sure you uninstall the previous one before installing this one.

And that update worked? It had package parsing errors for me. I wonder if we use TiBU to make it a system app if the updates will work? It may be looking for files in /system instead of /data. And the update link is a dead dropbox link now.

Update or wait?

I just got my Note yesterday and it is telling me there is a update. Reading all the negative comments about what it did to s notes is it worth updating or would you wait.
Thanks
If you select it its probably not there anyway... They pulled it for some reason.
Go ahead and try.

Ah good. Maybe they are fixing the things they broke
I find the changes to s-Note to be a great improvement actually. Many people here can be quick to judge without first trying to understand why the change was made. One of the update's features is the addition of the S Note miniapp which is one of the greatest things to ever happen to my research.

I like the note better after the update . feels more responsive too.
Sent from my GT-N8000 using xda app-developers app
Most peoples knock on the update is the addition of the horrid useless little panning box that appears whenever snotes is in split screen. It literally takes up 1/4 of the available real estate and serves no purpose.
The other additions are good.

Well hopefully those of us with replacement devices, probably caused by the update, as well as others who purchased new after the update was pulled will get to experience this corrected update if Samsung is working on a new update.

Wowsers. I think this news deserves its own thread.
THIS is the probable reason Samsung pulled the update. They are getting ready to push out JB.
