Hi,
Since a couple of days the phone offers me to upgrade to Ver. 4.0.4.
Is there a thread that covers the meat of it?
- Advantages of the upgrade
- Disadvantages / Workarounds
How does one roll-back to the very state the phone has now - just in case?
Thanks

PS: Pls. bare with me. I assume this is a FAQ.
But I could not yet find a FAQ compilation or a thread
that would cover this question.

There is a thread about sense 4.1 and android 4.0.4 update.
Anyway, you should update, trust me. It's a major update (not 4.0.4 but sense 4.1) and it's really worth it.

Confirmed!! I had the S4 and it got updated...the best update ever seen!

Thanks for the replies and for the recommendation.
What did you like about the upgrade?
Thanks

Snappier, better interface in browser, fixed the focus issues in videocamera, and most important fixed the multitasking bug.

For me the best part of the update is, that the notification bug is gone. Before my phone didn´t receive mails and whatsapp messages while in standby. Now it works perfectly and it´s faster too :good:

Don't you experience any WiFi issues?
Is there a proven workaround?

No, Wifi is working perfect for me. No disconnects and even in standby it keeps the connection.

After some reading it looks that the radio version had started
the HOME BUTTON ISSUE for quite some users.
(I am now one of them.)
If you want to avoid this nasty issue, DON'T upgrade.

I had encountered the home button issue while on vacation.. before upgrading. Educated guess is that is a hardware interference issue, not software. Even if it is affected by software, I haven't had a single issue with anything since upgrading, and I am on euro version on US AT&T in a small city (i have zero bars right now at work dur to bad weather) and have yet to encounter the home button issue again.

As I posted in another thread:
This is what I noticed:
- faster throughout, a bit smoother as well, especially for sense stuff
- more free RAM
- wifi strength has definitely improved as well as the speeds slightly (can't test just how much stronger the signal is, as it is raining outside and that is the only time when my wifi is the weakest i.e. 1-2 bars )
- signal strength with "GSM only" connection has improved, getting full bars most of the time now (although it still goes back to 3 or so every now and then and is why there is virtually no difference in the screens below), however, it has vastly improved when I have a "WCDMA only" connection as you can see
- data speeds aren't much better although the upload is higher and the ping is a bit better
- browsing seems much quicker
- sense browser has an updated UI, which is much nicer and more functional, the double tap to zoom in renders the page a lot quicker
- as we all know, the 3 dot menu button tweak
- EA games, where we can get dead space for free (looks great and works very well on the S)
- I think multi-tasking is a bit better as well
- auto focus
- front camera quality is better

And speed tests, repeated the test twice:

[App] Connection Checker

Hi - I'm a new Android developer and would like to get your feedback on my first app, Connection Checker.
Description: If your Wifi or Mobile connection drops out all the time, Connection Checker will let you know when your network is down and will try to fix it.
Use it when you have crummy Wifi connections or when your mobile connection disconnects too often.

The current market version of Connection Checker uses in-app billing for some features, but I'm going to be releasing a full paid version shortly. I've included the apk for the paid version below. Any feedback you could give me would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
-Jeremy
PS: I've mostly been a lurker on XDA, so if this post is inappropriate I apologize.
Market link for the free version:
Market link to Pro (paid app):
Beta Pro version: (beta V1.0.12)
Changelog:
v1.0.12
* The "Mobile Action" is only selectable in Froyo and Older. This is to reduce confusion because that option doesn't work in Gingerbread and later. Also other minor preference panel changes.
v1.0.11
* You can now select between toggling Airplane mode and toggling just the mobile connection. (This only works on 2.2 and older devices).
* Added option to stop check when Bluetooth is enabled.
* Improved some translations
* Reliability fix for Toggle Airplane (and mobile)
v1.0.10
* Major reliability improvement - much more accurate connection check
v1.0.9
* Added support for Japanese and Korean in app
v1.0.8
* Initial Release
Just so happens I'm in a situation in which I could use something like this, look forward to taking it for a spin.
Good luck Jeremy.
Any more feedback? If no-one had major issues I'm going to publish this APK!

Hey - This program is really designed to detect when the internet appears to be working, but doesn't actually work. If the connection is actually dropping out on you, this app can't make it *not* drop out.
How will this work with programs like JuiceDefender that turn off radios when the screen is off? Could you make your app only active when the screen is on?

That is no problem - if the radio is off Connection Checker does nothing.

That does seem to be the observed behavior, it is not interfering with JuiceDefender.
I need something like this for my connection at home. Thanks for posting I'll let you know how it goes. So far so good.
Looks very nice!
I'll test this and buy it if I find it works well
I would like too see a strength plotter
Hey Jeremy
Nice name btw The app appears to be working, however I believe the known wifi drop-out issue in the Freex10 beta4 ROM has reared its ugly head. The log goes as follows:
8:26:17 WIFI connection up
8:32:32 WIFI connection up
8:37:49 Bad Wifi Connection; Disabling for 30 minutes
8:43:04 No active network
8:43:47 No active network
etc.
The wifi is still switched on on my phone (XPERIA X10i) and the wifi network at home is working, so the issue is obviously with the updated ROM. I have to either swith the phone wifi off then on, or reconnect to the network manually.
I realise this isn't a problem with your app (which seems pretty good) however I thought you (and other FreeX10 users) might be interested to know this.
Cheers
Jeremy
EDIT: I just installed the Blade WIFI fix and my phone doesn't seem to drop out anymore...
Now to retest this app again
wow very nice app, does it read from cat log? anybody have try it with speedmod kernel for sgs?
any info on battery life?! background apps that constantly DO something usually drain battery a lot

I'm not familiar with that so I'll have to look into it more. I'm planning on making the app a little bit smarter when it detects a failure, so that might help in your case.

It doesn't read from the log - it periodically connects to a server and verifies that you internet is working correctly.

The app has been fairly widely used for a few weeks now, and most people say that their battery life improves. My best guess about that is that when on a bad connection the device wastes more power. Honestly, I thought the app would be a battery killer when I wrote it, but on the two devices I use it seems to have zero change.
-Jeremy
will give this a go thanks
Yes, I'm giving this a go also since my WiFi gets flaky on the other side of the house. It will be nice to know when it drops and then set it to re-enable instead of me getting frustrated.
Ciao!
tried the free and the pro version, doesn't seem to enable Wifi when my mobile connection is dropped. don't know why

4.0 Sense to 4.1? What's the Difference?

What's the difference? Thanks.
just Google it
first line that popped up with many after
http://www.trustedreviews.com/news/htc-sense-4-1-leaks-blazing-htc-one-x-speeds-reported
All of the articles I've read about Sense 4.1 say that the 3D effects have been removed from the launcher, however everything looks the same to me as it did before the update.
This is what I noticed:
- faster throughout, a bit smoother as well, especially for sense stuff
- more free RAM
- wifi strength has definitely improved as well as the speeds slightly (can't test just how much stronger the signal is, as it is raining outside and that is the only time when my wifi is the weakest i.e. 1-2 bars )

After you update, there should be an "EA games" app in your app drawer and when you click on it, you get the following:
Just click on the game and it starts downloading and then installs and after that, launch it from the app drawer and the required files (about 150MB IIRC) will then download.
Huh, I didn't get that. I am on t mobile USA.
DeadSpace for Free on the Tmobile USA version?
Hmm, not sure why it isn't showing up for you
Maybe only for international one s devices? Mine is UK sim free.

okay, i did a quick signal test and I think the signal attenuation and strength seemed to have improved as previously, it will drop signal when I am in the elevator but now it will still retain the signal with 1 bar.
also, noticed that the battery life seemed to have improved as well.

still have troubles registering my fingerprint. dunno what happened. it was pretty good until that previous update that was suppose to improve the fingerprint reader *shrugs.
gotta see if they have fixed this other bug that i've had since i got the phone. sometimes the auto rotate will lock onto landscape.

I had to remove all the stored fingerprints, do a restart, and with clean hands register the fingerprints. It's working now, one time he just wouldn't recognize anything, I had to restart the phone and worked after. But I have been thinking for a week now that it does pretty well (or I'm just used with the way to unlock, with a slight slide of the finger). But yeah, like you it was really a mess after the update! Registering without rebooting got the things even worse.
I think what they did with the previous update is lowering the sensitivity of the sensor, because before I always had "too many attempts done, please try again later" because it tried to detect fingerprint each time a part of skin touched it.
Are we going to get a new thread every month for an update? Wouldn't it be better to post in the other update thread....

Few features have been added with tweaks
Improved Stability of connecting Bluetooth headset signal (especially in AAC connection mode)
Improve background control capability, optimize power saving of native system
Improve preview speed of camera interface and camera stability
Improve zoom framing and image quality
Those are the highlights according to the update page.
Some users are reporting back that fingerprint recognition is faster, and more reliable, noise reduction is better, Album is quicker, preview and processing speed increased, and 2x zoom is faster too.
309mb update.

N9860 android 11

when will Android 11 update will be available to N9860
it is taking to long to receive it
any one know why ?
No clue....I'm still waiting being on Nov 1 patch!!
My S20 FE (Exynos) already received it month ago, while the Snapdragon version of the same still hasn't received it.
I'm beginning to think Exynos is getting a lot of early love.

It's available on chc csc, but if you use Google dialer ussd codes, android 11 stops them from working so now I can't enable wwd csc. I'm going up downgrade to 10. I lost 5g and many features. Do not like it
I'm on 9860 rooted

Let us know about features, improvements and battery life when you update.
Anything that was better on Android 10 and ha been worsened in android 11. Good lock modules compatibility etc
Between all this talk of one ui 3 and android 11,do we know if this phone can bee rooted on Android 11 and how exactly?

I updated on the 4th of February but so far the battery usage appears to be similar although it's early days.
The only hiccup so far for me is the amount of apps in the folder that shows on one page i.e 3x4 now, but that's no deal breaker.
Sorry but I do not use Goodlock or any of the plug ins.
The finger print scanner appears faster and more accurate.
I like the way I can tap on the date and time on my lockscreen which now then shows my calendar , music and weather.
All early days.

Have you noticed any detoriation is call quality, signal, wifi performance, sound output and music playback.
Any changes on charging timings etc.
The volume control bar has changed to test tube like design. What's your input on that?

Call quality is the same.
I mainly use mobile data but WiFi is strong.
Network signal is the same.
I turn my phone off at night and charge then so I'm not sure on charging times.
I use Spotify Premium coupled with Samsung Buds Live and the quality remains very good although I'm no audiophile in any sense of the word.
The new volume bar reminds me a little bit of iOS !

Thank you for your feedback.
Lets see when would I get it in Pakistan
Few bugs for me
- Night mode shots take WAY longer to process
- Camera apparently taking brighter pics than before , I have to always reduce brightness slider for faces
- Gallery straight from GCAM crashes, very slow to load when you delete pics
- Goodlock Multistar, Clockface, Pantastic and Quickstar working with their updated versions
- Battery life almost same
I decided to do factory reset since I'm noticing fps drops in games.
Wow, there is a huge difference now. The phone is literally flying and the games just runs perfect for me now.
I really recommend it if you notice performance drops.

Question Android 13 / One UI 5 Discussion Topic on S22 Ultra

Hi!
Android 13 / One UI 5 is now officially released for S22 Ultra, and many of us wish to discuss it, but information is scattered across the forums, so I wanted to have a central place that deals directly with the final/stable release so I can gain feedback and possibly help you.
Here's what this topic is about:
Android 13 / One UI 5 on S22 Ultra (Both Exynos (Global/Rest of World) and Snapdragon (US version) variants are supported by this topic)
Here's what this topic is NOT about -- please do NOT post about these, I will not answer.
The beta releases (The final/stable release is available, just upgrade!)
Any upcoming versions (such as Android 14 / One UI 6)
Any other devices in the series (such as S22, S22+, S21 FE)
Any other problems you have with the device, not related to Android 13 (such as how to install GCAM, those have their own topics)
I really wish to know how you feel about Android 13 / One UI 5 on your phone. I'm an app developer and an IT technician and I am happy to help as well as gain feedback.
Hi bro
My S22 Ultra got updated when the update showed up here in Scandinavia. To be honest, I can't see any difference after the update. Haven't actually had any problems before, but I have noticed that CPU frequency seems to have been raised quite a bit compared to on Android 12.
Regards DeHAWK .

And battery life difference?
My few impressions:
General look and feel: I absolutely love this update. Modes and routines, call background, notifications update, stacked widgets etc. - everything's so customizable (was before as well). iPhones are still so boring compared.
Battery: few days after factory reset I was so happy about my battery. After I installed my "100 apps" - everything's back to normal - 3hrs+ of SOT despite all the config I make (sleeping apps etc). Plus 1-2hrs of SOT if I'm at home connected to Wifi.
General impression:
1. It is much better to experience One UI 5/Android 13 if you factory reset your device. I've done this since my last Google Pixel device (which is Pixel 3 XL). With less to no bugs encountered along the way.
2. Work profile works perfectly using Island app & Work Profile Demo (from Android Enterprise Page), except Shelter app that mess with my personal profile and because of that, I was forced to factory reset again.
3. When it comes to backup, I've did back it up using Google One & Smart Switch (Both on PC & Cloud). Funny thing, after factory reset, my device did not show up on the restoration lists that I backed up from Google One. Other than that, some banking apps needed to be re-installed as it needed to be installed from the Play Store and not from other sources like Smart Switch.
4. I still hate the fact that Good Lock & Good Guardians are not available on my region UNLESS I remove my local PH SIM Cards, use a US VPN & Clear Galaxy Store Cache & Data for me to download those and its modules.
Notification icons on lock screen and notification shade are white circles.
does anyone have the problem when receiving a message from whatsapp or viber in the notification panel the message ist bold and bigger then on the Android 12

Unfortunately this is a bug in the Theme Park application within Good Lock. Any change there to darker colors triggers white circles for notification icons on in the notification shade. Disable any theme you've created and it should revert to the normal, colored notification icons. Annoying. Waiting on an update to Theme Park to fix.

Thanks very much. I will disable my theme for now.

It's SM-S9080 HK variant, right? Beta 6 has been rolling out since October 26 & Ice Universe says it will come within this week.

I'm just impressed by how smooth everything feels now. I like the buttery feel while scrolling and the snappier animations. Battery life seems quite good so far. Overall I'm really happy with the update.

Same.
I was not offered to restore apps and app data.
US/Snapdragon/VZW variant here, the biggest change I have noticed with the update is that my fingerprint reader is now significantly more accurate and responsive. On OneUI 4/Android 12 it would work probably 75% of the time on the first scan, and it was very finicky about the orientation of my finger touching the sensor.
On the advice of someone else on another site, I deleted and re-added my fingerprints after the update and now the fingerprint reader is ~95% accurate. It also seems to work better if my hands are less than perfectly dry or less than perfectly clean.
Battery life seems mostly unchanged, and haven't encountered any significant bugs/errors/glitches so far.
I really don't want to make a new thread for this so I'm going to put it here. Gsam was working fine before the update, and it also works well on the Pixel 7 pro on Android 13. But it doesn't work anymore on oneui 5.0. Anyone else have this?
Nothing new for One UI 5, only the icons on the notifications changed. Still the same crappy, laggy animations, I don't understand why they can't make them like iOS, smooth AF, not skipping frames, not weird glitches.
