Update or wait? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

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.

Looks like jelly bean could be coming soon. http://www.techradar.com/news/porta...ean-for-galaxy-s3-note-10-1-very-soon-1093979

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.

I don't think there is any news regarding the JB update for the tf700. To me, this is actually a good news, because ASUS can take time to ensure that the update works properly. After reading all the complaints after the JB update for the tf300 (it breaks so many things on the tf300), I can only thank God for not having this kind of early update on my tf700. For now, I am very happy with ICS and don't mind waiting, especially when my tf700 is already very good.

It'll be pretty quick like when 4.1.2 was integrated. It'll probably be within the next 2 days, judging from how fast updates have been added on the past.

^^No it won't. It'll be like the jump from ICS to JB. Probably a little less because there will be less stuff like project butter to deal with.

Not even! Dude it won't take that long because most of 4.2 is little add-ons to 4.1, so most devs can just use the 4.1 base and add those updates within the next couple days or on the weekend.

Doesn't matter if it's just little addons, the framework is entirely different and will almost certainly require new trees. It's like Froyo to Gingerbread

I'm with dmeadows......they may appear to be little, but the framework is what matters. You act like its a matter of updating a few apps, lol.
I kinda wonder if cyanogenmod is actually planning on it being a little big (week or two). Why would they have released a (stable) the day before 4.2 knowing it was dropping? Maybe he knows it'll be some time still...
Whoa aosp ftw !
Doesn't matter, because till we get kernel/RIL source, AOSP can't be fully stable.

ATT Galaxy S4..Just Received An Update

I have no idea what this update is, but my buddy was playing with his ATt S4 and went to check for a update and there was one. It waslike 26 or 27mb so it was small.
If this has already been mentioned and/or posted, I apologize.

According to most sources this update has zero affect on that part of the system. This is supposed to be strictly performance.
Same here SF Cali
Okay so how do we know if it is safe to apply this update? I would like to fix some lag but in no way harm my chances of unlocking the bootloader.
Can someone pull the update file and examine it?
Also in SF Bay Are CA

There's no way to know until someone like Adam or Dan start looking it over. Gonna have to give them at least a day or two too get the update and dissect it.
Ultimately only Dan is gonna be able to tell us for sure, which I'm sure he will in the coming days, in the mean time just chill, the OTA isn't gonna go anywhere XD

Well, update went through. Lag seems less significant. A few hiccups here and there, but it seems to be better. Less hiccups than before, at least.
Facebook and IGN apps scroll more smoothly as well. Opening and closing is a bit snappier. Been trying to open and minimize a bunch of apps to induce a hiccup, it's not doing it. Swiftkey is also opening more smoothly (well, instantaneously). Overall seems better. I'm content.

GAH, it just started updating without any conformation once I clicked "check for updates"
KEEP THAT IN MIND! simply checking for an update will download it!
EDIT: okay thank god it didn't install the update... just downloaded it.... phew...
Does anyone know which app I need to clear data on to reset the time window for the OTA checker? I checked yesterday afternoon before this update dropped and it's making me wait...

Secure Boot Status, don't OTA Update when it comes!

Well it looks like AT&T is trying to stop Loki, to no surprise really but all I keep seeing is people trying to update for the new lackluster SD Card feature and COMPLETELY ignoring the fact that secure boot is now enabled in the update and AT&T is making strides on the aboot to block Loki.
Just a fair warning to not update
Also Dan is aware if I'm not mistaken.

They are idiots. It is common sense.
Correct me if I am wrong, shouldn't they just wait until a dev gets a hold of the update...and updates their rom with the newest release?
Couldn't answer that straight forward myself but that would be my guess as well.

Yeah. But the bigger issue is that soon S4's will start shipping with the new aboot. Then there will be a huge chunk of S4 owners who will never be able to flash recoveries, roms, or kernels.

Good things come to those who wait, but then you got your bottom feeders always swimming around looking for sh$$. and the update is what 2 things that will actually benefit anyone. Hell let em update, they deserve the loki block, and then he they come running looking for a fix.
This may turn bad.

I posted the "wiki" link in a couple of threads already earlier (one of them was the "Loki discussion thread") to help make people aware of the issue. It was also discussed when the "new update" was announced. The problem is that people will still not read and install it anyway. But, maybe this will help a few more people.

No dis-respect but I strongly enourage to use the search function of the site, just friendly advice before a real developer tears you a new one XD
In the mean time, yes, you can protect yourself by rooting and disabling to update .apks'.
I have seen a lot of mixed info. Some say it wont auto update, others say it will. Best guess is AT&T will indeed try to force push the update.

You wont get burned as long as you don't officially patch up. Its future S4 buyers that will get massively boned once they realize they are stuck until a new bootloader unlock/bypass is found.
The rest of us in the know only have to worry about lack of development support once this patch comes full force.

Personally I hate TW, so the minute i got the phone I got rid of that and put an AOSP rom on the phone (Currently putting the latest PAC Rom nightly on lol) but yea future S4 users will be screwed if the new patched aboot doesnt allow for some kind of exploit...Which in turn hurts future development on the device...the only good thing is that the snapdragon variants of the S4 are all identical basically, as such international roms work on our device, just need to flash a device specific kernel/libs =)
I froze At&t software update v42.1.1303.5.1 hopefully that is all that is needed.
