hello guys in the philippines. Where can i buy a replacement battery or even an original battery for my XDA II ? i tried all SM stores and found nothing. my XDA is useless now. battery life only good for 3 hours and it just drains like crazy. please help
don't loose hope yet!
check out JS Service center in Jollibee Plaza, Emerald Avenue, Ortigas Center, its on the 16th floor I think, been there last week. maybe they have one there. BTW, I'm using XDA Exec and they told me they don't support such model here in the Phil's so, if ever my unit's gone bad, its as good as trash for now until they'll finally offer service for such unit.
i see, thanks for that info. you've been there right? do you have any contact numbers of their office so that i can call first and ask if they have ready stocks available so that my trip wont be wasted if ever they dont carry o2 batteries. thanks
battery
hello.. i am also looking for xda2 batteries.. but I am not in a rush to buy so it's not my first priority.. i just post this message because it so happen that i have seen maybe a couple of store here in my place.. i live in Alabang Muntinlupa.. the first store which i hope is still there is the CDR-King i think on the 3rd floor of Alabang Town Center.. though i haven't ask if all CDR King stores were able to stock that thing. the second is from SM Southmall in Las Pinas city.. 3rd floor also... just can't remember the store name but i am sure it's still there.. anyway.. apology if i can't give their contact numbers.. hope it can help u..
BTW, just wanna ask if you know the answer to my BT problem, i can send files via BT but can't receive any though i have checked the "receive all incoming beams" box.. also i have already formatted my phone and tried again but still no luck.. it was OK before but now i don't know what happen... is upgrading ROM really solve this?.. i am using 2003 OS with 1.66 ROM... will u by any chance to send me your upgraded ROM file for me to upgrade mine?.. thanks and have a nice day
thanks for the info. i didnt know that CDR-king is selling replacement batteries, anyway, i'l check if i dropped by any branch.
about your problem, you can send but cant receive.. these sometimes happen but its not the problem of the XDA but the problem of the other side sending. cause it happend to me before, i turned on the bluetooth and the receive all incoming beams, but i cant received the pictures that my friend was sending me.. anyway his phone is a SE K800, i think he got the settings wrong in his phone, but later he changed it and i already can receive the pictures he was sending to me without me altering any settings with my XDAII. so i think it just a configuration problem, anyway im using WM2003SE from buzzdev and have no problems with BT. HTH
hi
thanks for that.. but sad to say... all phones i tried to use to send me files via BT are not successfully done. i have also tried to use another xda2 to send me files but still no luck.. if it is not too much, will u please send me the direct link of the ROM upgrade you had downloaded on buzzdev.. i have already browsed the site but still confuse what to donwload.. and also if i have upgraded my OS, will my installed programs and settings to my phone which has been backup before will still be OK if i have restore it after the upgrade? thanks and hope i didn't give you much burden.. thanks!
Though this looks like a dead thread let me just add that I wasn't aware CD-R King carries replacement batteries for the Xda. I've been buying mine at those cellular phone shops in Quiapo for several years now. Though no luck in finding a replacement for the internal battery Hope someone can direct me to one with fair pricing too.
Like the title says. I still haven't gotten an OTA update yet, and trying the few 3.2 updates people have linked to haven't worked for me.
A bit annoyed actually, that the store I bought it from, in London, sold me a US one, but there we go.
Anyway, just wondered if anyone in a similar situation had found a way to get it.
Similar thing. I bought at curry´s in london a B60 unit and dock. US version.
I´m in Brazil now, and have checked daily for the update and no luck what so ever.... I tried the recovery mode trick with those 60MB files of the update but all I got was a green android budy with a ! symbol on its chest...
It´s really taking a long time for it to be avaliable at the asus ftp.
Anyone has found a way to update in a situation like this?
My US version got the update in the UK within hours of the release last week.
I bought a B60 from amazon.co.uk and had it delivered to me here in Malta. I got the 3.2 update on 2nd August.
My Dad in the UK has a US version which I bought for him, and he got the OTA right about the same time as I did, ages ago.

OP, have you tried this yet?

Looks like it should resolve your issue.
Thanks.
Thanks for that last link, I'll give it a try. I can't seem to get my transformer into APX mode - hoding power and volume up (after turning off) doesn't do anything. I've got the file downloaded though and I'll look for an answer to the APX problem and give it a try.
Thanks
Ok
Tried that, didn't work. Got back to 8.4.4.5, but it wouldn't update any further. I'll leave it for a few hours, see if it comes through by itself, but clicking the update button does nothing
Appreciate the help though, cheers.
I have a B7O that got updated only a few days ago.
Other european posters say that they might have been fixing some bugs before sending it out.
Then I think they stagger the updates.

Mine came the following morning (US Transformer in UK)
It changed my life.... or maybe not so much!
I have 2 B50s here and both got the notification for the update. We updated 1 to 3.2 about 3 days ago when they arrived.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Anyone have thoughts on what the new firmware is for the P3113? I just got an alert on my rooted device that I have a new firmware upgrade.
another useless update that I don't need?
I just checked for an update on my tablet and there doesn't seem to be one available. But if there is soon I will let you know of any obvious changes.

You can download it here http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-P3113
Just not sure if it's worth it, and what will happen since I am rooted. It's not a full upgrade to JB which I know I would need to do an FDR for, but just a minor update (which could be leading to JB later on down the road, there have been 2 updated in the last 30ish days, thats usually a good sign, from past device experiences at least lol).
Perhaps HDMI support and/or UMS support for the external sd card? I can dream, can't I...
Dreams do come true, they can happen to you...

I love your dreams, and I share those dreams with you too. Let me know if I should buy a lotto ticket, since it would be a nice lucky day.
If it where HDMI support I would suspect we would see an adapter available on Samsung's website for this tablet. Since there is none I'm guessing its something more mundane. However my tab is charging up now in preparation of the update and will let you know as soon as I can.
So I installed the update and right off the bat nothing jumped out at all lol. So I went through to find changes and kinda came up with nothing. I could probably do some more serious digging to find what has been changed. If you have anything you want me to test with it I will just let me know.
App to SD?

That would be the only thing I could want to see to be honest since nothing else has lol. I think it might be a primer update to go to JB in the next month or 2, which means I'll have to go back and update through since I am rooted and shouldn't try to update till unrooted.
Then again I could be 100% wrong, so don't pin hopes on my theory lol.
Hi, I have an Australian bought (from JB Hi-fi) unbranded Note 10.1 Wifi+3G and despite some internet reports that this device got Jellybean in the last few weeks, and other internet reports that it got it in November 2012(!), there's no sign of an update for me (it says "No updates available" each time I check). Why?
This article from an Australian retailer says the Note 10.1 got the update in November 2012!
http://www.mobicity.com.au/mobile-b...update-released-for-samsung-galaxy-note-10-1/
Sorry to start another JB update thread, but most of the talk in the other threads is from people who already have it, and this is a question specifically about us Australians who don't.
Ok, the goss from here is that Australia simply doesn't have it yet, and no samsung representatives seem to know when it will.
Hi Peeps,
Does anyone know when our Tablets will get an official update to 4.1.2 or even 4.1.1, I keep watching the Samsung YouTube chanel and they always show of all the features of JB but yetthey wont upgrade ours and leave it on ICS.

JB is a significant improvement, just go ahead and flash it with one of the other country ROMs that are available.

People who have imported them from the US have got them, though.
It's pretty annoying how I keep reading that "pretty much everyone" has it now. We don't! I guess I'll keep waiting. Hope we get it Q1 2013.
Bugger that, use ODIN and get whatever firmware you want... If you want to stick to stock, make sure to get a copy of the Aussie ICS rom from sammobile so you can downgrade and then upgrade to Aussie JB later....
Trust me, it's a heap smoother and JB has a few extra bits and piece over ICS... Worth the upgrade....
You don't need to be rooted for the overseas firmwares... Though I prefer to be... Blocks the security exploits nicely...
^^^
What he said - United Arab Emirates don't have JB yet either.
I just downloaded and flashed German 4.1.2 (XXCLL3) on my N8000.
For my Daughter's N8010 I downloaded and flashed German 4.1.1 (XXBLK9)
Both work perfectly.
As I haven't rooted, I'd rather go with Samsung's upgrade and keep all my app data and settings.
With ODIN I expect I'd lose them (and even if not, I'd be strongly recommended to do a factory reset).
Up to you, but Oz being the ass(you know what I mean) end of the world I wouldn't expect the update any time soon....
Same for most tech, low customer base and too far to ship so we get EVERYTHING last....
I haven't waited for the updates t arrive on any of my phones and tablets as we seem to be about 6 months behind, more if you have a carrier branded device...
Hi guys.
I can see there are some threads with leaks of the rom or other country's releases but was hoping do get an OTA to install the Lollipop update.
I have read that apparently the UK has started to receive it not so long back but i have tried to request the update via the settings menu and also via Kies but it just says that it is up to date.
Any ideas when i should receive it or if any of the other zips in those other threads are complete and official and also okay to use for the UK?
My phone is the unlocked international version. It was originally from Three network but early on in it's life i grabbed an official zip from on here and installed it to remove the Three branding etc. It is unrooted.
i flashed the official firmware from sammobile its vodaone uk but i think they have made a mistake with it because its got german apps on it.
so i dont think there is one for the uk yet.
cheers mate.
thats what i didnt want, any sort of incorrect rom or even apps on it. seems odd that some info across the net state the UK as havcing started receiving it a while back but it still hasnt actually started to speed up with it's rollout

Same here. Have been expecting it since I heard Russia started getting it a number of weeks ago. Russia!
No OTA available to unlocked European phones - how can carriers be getting it before unlocked phones???
It really must be any day now here in the UK.

i got an ota lollipop update a few days ago on my n9005 but my sons phone says up to date on 4.4.2 (n9005 also)
melliwuk
i should mention that my update seems to be from vodafone (my network) not from samsung.
im going to flash the vodafone stock kitkat see if i get the update that way. ill let you know how i get on.
UPDATE:
so i flashed the vodafone stock kitkat didnt get no update because i was still on BTU csc so i changed the csc to VOD and checked for the update again and it was there. both in software update settings on the phone and in kies.
Its rubbish isn't it, I got bored waiting and flashed the stock Poland rom....once again the UK is at the back of the queue ...
whats with the delay for BTU for UK ?
are there carrier timed exclusives ? bit of a joke that we're what up to 3 weeks now ?
Yeah I'm getting impatient too, been checking every day only to get disappointed, and SamsungMobileUK twitter doesnt help by saying its "Top secret knowledge", why they wouldnt want customers to know a date is beyond me.
I would like to think it should be soon, but I have really no expectations for them anymore, I don't even know how carrier versions went up before the UK international version, I thought the international version would be up first no?
Still have the beta(?) lollipop rom on my Note 3, seems pretty fine for now, haven't noticed any breaking bugs really, but I am still eager for the final version (And espicially 5.0.1 to bring mute back, which will be an EVEN longer wait probably, unless the wait is because they're going straight to 5.0.1?)
Blame Vodafone. They paid money to get the exclusive Lollipop release .That's why it's only available to the Vodafone and daughter companies, and not the unbranded and other companies. They do that quite often.

Honestly? That's really crap if true. Pretty bad deal for Vodafone too imo. I haven't heard of any promoting from them they're the only ones offering lollipop for note 3 and I can't see people selling their note 3's and buying a new one from Vodafone for lollipop either. This type of deal just seems like screwing most owners off and making Vodafone owners feel happy buying from them. Helps Vodafone look better too as they may not have been first providing the update if there was no such deal.
Still nothing for me. I've been restarting my phone some mornings before going into settings and hitting the check for update.
I seem to remember before, a method of clearing the data of a Google app that reset the clock i think and it sometimes helped get an update sooner. I can't remember what app it was though.

none of that is true, its works of your csc code. BTU is unbranded, VOD is vodafone H3G is three O2U is o2 EE,EVR is ee and so on lol
so what ever you got on yor phone if its unbranded or on a network is when you get it.

That's pretty much the general idea with these deals, customer binding. Keep your customers happy by being able to tell them 'We're faster than everyone else. Look, they don't have Lollipop yet, and we do!'
They don't advertise with it because the decision came from HQ, but every country has its own marketing team. Most of the time the marketing team has no idea it was even done.
On top of that, people don't care enough to go to a provider because it got the firmware first (They'd all buy or flash Unbranded if they did), but they're exceptional good at whining about it when others get the update first and they don't have it yet.
(The T-Mobile forums are a nightmare right now. And they(Samsung) cancelled 5.0 for the S5 temporarily before rolling out a new one, making it even worse as the branded version is always spectacularly late.. "Why do they have the update? I can't download it, but my [neighbour, sibling, friend] has the same phone and same provider, and they have the update? Are you blocking me?"x500 *sigh*)
That's how marketing works, make people feel bad about other brands, and better about yours.
I know it sounds a bit... conspiracy theory-ish. But if you look at the list of released updates, it's pretty obvious.
The last one came out on 01 February 2015, so with luck we'll see the rest in a week or two. (My attempt at optimism isn't working, is it? ) Depending on how much they paid it's either 1 month or 3. (HTC once paid several million to Google to get the exclusive release for 3 months.)
Edit: Oh, hello!
March 6, 2015
Model SM-N9005
Model name GALAXY Note 3 LTE
Country Poland
Version Android 5.0
Changelist 3643614
Build date Wed, 25 Feb 2015 12:57:23 +0000
Product code XEO
PDA N9005XXUGBOB6
CSC N9005XEOGBOA4
On Sammobile! It's from today! (It's the second Poland version. That's promising, because the rest usually follows)
Your updates are all dependent on your Carrier / CSC.
Just think for a minute. Samsung have you by the short and curlies. If you go custom rom, they jump up and down saying that your warranty is invalid due to knox counter. Biggest pile of poop ever!
The carriers have you by the short and curlies because of this CSC junk. The carriers have you by them as well, because of the CSC's.
Why would any business want to upgrade you at the same time as releasing 'flagship' models. A carrier / manufacturer would want to shift more 'new' units rather than look after it's current, loyal, customer base. Samsung have released the N4, S6 and edge in a relatively short period of time. Considering their market share is falling, what would you rather do? Sell boatloads of new stuff, or encourage people to keep their older phone? Realisticaly, just HOW much better is the N4 or S6 than it's preceding model? The S6 doesn't even have the option of an SD card!! As I have said on other boards, how many times can you re-invent the wheel?? I turned down a note 4 upgrade because it didn't do things, noticeably, better than my N3.
As you are probably aware, loyalty is worth nothing to businesses these days. Who gets the best deals? New customers. Once the S6, edge and N4 sales slow down, the N3 will probably receive the Lollipop update.
If I were in your situation, I would download the Vodafone BTU or Polish XEO and use the app manager to freeze the apps you don't require. Lollipop is OK and it is very smooth, apart from the material design and WAY too much white, but as you are aware, you will end up with an updated bootloader. You need the updated bootloader etc or your camera will misbehave! I have the Vodafone BTU, Echoe Rom based rom and have no issues. I have also tried the stock Vodafone BTU and the Polish one and report no Issues. My wifes N3 is running the XEO, and it is rock solid. The polish rom only has a couple of polish apps that can be deleted without any worries. Best of all, they are official, and can be flashed via Odin without tripping Knox.
I also heard that Vodafone 'paid' to be first for 5.0. The reason vodafone probably did this is because they are now pushing sim only tarrifs and have an advertising campaign on the telly. O2 have also started the sim only push, but their updates are usually so late, people forget what phone they were for!! The Polish XEO usually get the updates pretty quick as there is an R&D department tied with samsung, and sim only is big over there.
Samsung are losing me.
I'm also not happy to wait so long. Checking every day and no luck. Very disappointed in Samsung. Sick of my buggy Kitkat firmware from them that can't remember default apps to save its life and having to constantly choose Chrome to view internet links.
Oh yes, they are good enough to update the 1 year old Note 3 and say that they will even update the Note 2 with Lollipop eventually, but who would want it, when Android M will be released right after, as they took so long.
Funny how LG and Motorola especially were able to be so quick to give their devices the Lollipop update.
My next phone won't be from Samsung.
I got bored of waiting for the UK release so this morning and have flashed recent Polish update, I'd advise you guys to do that same.
Doesn't trip knox, don't have to do a full wipe, English language maintained, very simple.

Been more and more tempted to do this, but wasn't sure if there would be a problem flashing it on a UK unbranded Note 3?
Also is there a way to back up data and restore it? I read helium could do it, but not sure how well it works. I just want to keep my game saves and etc.
Also there will be no problem flashing the UK version of lollipop when it eventually comes out?
I do have the beta version of lollipop already though. Not sure about the whole CSC thing either
I have the retail UK unbranded note 3, no problem at all flashing the Polish bob6 rom over it, just follow the simple steps on sam's firmware.
In terms of backing up I think you would need to root and use something like titanium, I didn't bother, as I said you don't need to wipe so all things like sms, game progress etc is not erased.
If you want to flash the UK version when it comes out I suspect there will be no problem at all to do so, I doubt I'll bother though, to all intents and purposes this behaves like the stock UK firmware would.
Just flashed it with the lollipop poland firmware before. Phone felt RED HOT after updating, ha ha. Seemed a little laggy after the first boot, but a restart seemed to fix all that.
It feels a little faster than previously actually, will see if the battery life is better on tuesday where the battery is put to the test really.
Good to see there doesnt seem to be any issues! Will flash to the UK version when samsung decide to release it...really bad these sort of exclusivity deals go on.
