[Q] Stuck in 4.0.3

I have 2 Tab2's here and they are both bought in the same shop. one is fine, the other doesn't see there is an update. It's on 4.0.3 and when wanting to update it just says it's fully updated.
Now before trying to update with KIES i just wanted to know what is wrong. So wondering if this was a known problem and there was a fix or not.
Regards,
Me

Both are not rooted.
Updating is not a problem, it's just that the tablet which is stuck at 4.0.3 seems to have other troubles. With email for example. So i was thinking, maybe there is a known prroblem with certain tab2's

Google+ and hangouts

Hey guys i have bought n8013 last week and google+ and talk was installed on it but when i updated them via playstore, they do not work anymore because when i open them they tell me to update my system even though when i check for updates it shows i have the latest version.
Please help guys its been a week im trying to solve this problem.
Thank you

You'll either have to put a custom rom or roll back versions. Check out gapps early on g+ (use web browser) for previous versions. The n8013 will not get official kitkat (not confirmed but Samsung has proven it by ignoring us for months)

Did you buy the tablet new.. .
I am running the Latest google hangouts/ google plus I d/loaded from Android central leak. They work fine. So i suggest if you are Sure the tablet is stock and on the right firmware to do a
factory reset..

yeahh I bought the tablet last week, its running 4.1.2 and it turns out there is an update on kies that updates to 4.1.2 but solves this google+ issue. Im not sure I want to root the tablet and run unofficial kitkat roms unless Samsung really wont update it to kitkat

You're running Google Plus 4.5.0.72928916? This is the latest version in the play store. I am running N8013 stock rooted and I got this after I updated to the latest google plus:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/+JohnWolf_PDX/posts/dAsRmkuPT2c?cfem=1
Do you have a link to the Android Central leaked Google Plus 4.5.0.72928916 apk that works on 4.1.2? I looked and couldn't find one that worked.
Also, the latest version of hangouts(not sure of the version, I don't have my tablet with me at the moment) just crashes constantly when I open it up.
I really don't want to have to do a factory reset...

I Think I Installed this then installed the latest google plus from play store. This Is the Hangout Dialer app. But if not mistaken its been updated since release.. Sorry im Vague .

I have a similar problem on the N8010 (Belgium).
Hangouts crashes and Google+ asks for an update. Even worse, some Samsung apps (video editor, store) have been pushed last week from samsung themselves having the same problem.
The root cause is that these are applications pushed for android 4.4 (a galaxy s2 gets the same new apps, but compiled/modified for Android 4.1).
In my case, the 4.4 update for the note is pushed to all countries around me (Netherlands, Germany, France, UK,...) but not Belgium yet. Somehow there is a mismatch between the region the play store (and samsung store) thinks should be on kitkat compared to the real rollout.

New apps after updating Mate 8

I have recently shifted from Samsung to Huewei Mate 8. Today my phone got an update (L29C185B180). Now I can see dropbox, clean master and booking.com installed on it, I have no idea from where they came from. Does this has something to do with the latest update?

No this is not possible atm as Samsung has basically dropped support for this device and with no root and tarp method installing a custom rom will result in a bricked device

Pretty good though. That's about 4 years... especially considering Android's update schedule. I don't know how long a Wear OS watch gets updates for.

Help getting back to android 10

Hi guys.
New to this forum.
Been searching through the threads but really struggling to work this out.
I bought this phone because it was great for COD mobile. Worked perfectly with my dualshock 4 controller now after the latest 11 update the buttons are messed up. Figured Sony would have fixed this considering they sell the phone with advertising specifically for this gane, oh and they make the controller as well! Madness!
Anyway I've tried using newflasher to get back to the last 10 update but with no luck. Presumably because of the rollback protection in 11. I did manage it once but that was on the first update this new one just won't do it.
Is there anyway of maybe wiping the OS and flashing a new clean install of android 10?
Worried about rooting because I don't really want to lose my warranty or any features (or screw the phone up) Don't think it's possible without doing that but would be grateful for any advice anyone can offer!
Thanks

Hey I go back from 11 to 10 with this rom:
Sony Xperia 5 II | XperiaFirmware.com
xperiafirmware.com
I have used newflasher and IT worked.

Thanks for the info.
I tried quite a few times but it wouldnt go back for some reason. It did work from the first A11 update but once you update to the latest one you cant go back at all.
Luckily it looks like they've worked the problem out between themselves and controller now works with COD and better than before!

Oh OK. That is a big Problem. I used IT with the first android 11 Update...

Thank you Bellitsch89. Got a bootloop with Magisk and 58.1.A.5.330. Installed Android 10, and Magisk works.

You made my day! Yesterday I bought this nice piece of Hardware and spent around 12 hours (reading almost all tutorials in the whole internet) to install Magisk on a XQ52-AS52 58.1.A.5.330 (Android 11). No chance at all.
After downgrading to 58.0.A.28.51 it works very well. Thank you a lot!

Will the firmware on the link work on a XQ-AS62? I have been looking to downgrade from Android 12 to Android 10. Thanks!
