Update!!!

Check your Skyrockets right now I'm pulling a 20891kb update right now no F'ing joke don't know what it is right will update after its finished!!
Ok so it's just the 2.3.6 update> I guess AT&T is rolling it back out

Not much difference
I got it this morning too. I got a little excited as I thought it might be ICS. Alas, no it's still GB. The only difference I can find is the lock screen is a little different. Anyone else know what the update is?

I got it this morning as well. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24399720&postcount=20)
Changes I've seen:
Android: 2.3.6
Baseband: UCLA3
New unlock screen
New phone icon
Other than that, I haven't seen any noticeable changes.
Edit: New incoming call screen as well!

Is it safe to update on stock rooted. I have deleted and frozen some system apps.
EDIT: Nevermind when it said it would reboot to install it booted into CW. I am now reflashing stock 2.3.5 so I can properly OTA to 2.3.6.
EDIT 2: Now I am back on 2.3.5 and checked for update. Says I am up to date. When I tried again it says to check back in 24 hours and does not let me check. Is there a way to force an update? Or could someone pull the update file and share it?

I also think the Memo icon is different.
Maybe the Home/Applications icon? It seems like I see diagonal lines in the blue area...of course maybe that was always there and I just wasn't looking so closely at it.

I am in GB 2.3.5. If this update is for only GB 2.3.6 users? I have the Skyrocket

List of updates from my source at att:
Improved performance from several Qualcomm patches and other refinements.
User interface updates such as the new screen unlock swipe
The ability to reply to all MMS messages.
Exchange ActiveSync wipe to remove all content from the device and microSD card.
Improved battery indicator icon.
So not a major update but still an update nonetheless.

No, its for errybody. Everybody that is stock and can receive OTA's anyway

Well, i did the upgrade nothing fancy, I was on GB2.3.5 and now 2.3.6

does you battery have to be a certain percentage? mine has failed two times already

Another fancy stuff, the sms message indicator, now is in the middle instead of swipe from the right to left, I consider that uglier than the other one from GB2.3.5.

I have reset the counter, but when flashing back to stock 2.3.5 to have the normal recovery back it makes the counter back to one.
I will try the sammobile tar and see if that works.

You're clearly not bricked if you have managed to open recovery. Although highly unlikely, it might have just been a bad flash. Try flashing it again. Did you remember to flash the boot.img beforehand as well? That was where I kept cocking up.

No, you cannot. You will need the boot.img that came with the ROM that you downloaded. If it hasn't come with one, then go down the the stable ROM, you'll have to wait until you can get the boot.img for the version of the ROM that you are downloading.

Right, try a different ROM. A recognised stable one. Try cyanogenmod 10. If that still goes tits up then I recommend getting the stock RUU, relocking the bootloader, S-OFF, so your HBOOT says ***LOCKED*** instead of ***UNLOCKED*** and does not say ***TAMPERED***, then ask HTC or your network for a repair.
I can only think that the ROM has done the equivilant of the BSoD, but obviously with no error message, but instead does a really dim screen to tell you that something ain't right.

Try and go through the setup process to the point where you can put a power strip widget on the desktop, and then try to adjust the screen brightness.
Can you get an adb shell?
I can get into the same 'really dark screen'-thing by doing
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
..and get back to normal by doing
echo 100 > /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness
You can check the brightness value by doing
cat /sys/class/leds/lcd-backlight/brightness

i just gave up and just RUU to stock its all better now hopefully :silly:

Ugh... Assisntance needed..

Okay... I don't know what to do anymore.
Every Jellybean ROM I flash on this phone is far from buttery smooth.
Okay hear me out.
I turn on the phone...
Drop down bar is stuttery... Scrolling is very Skippy...
I give my phone 5 seconds charge..
All the lag stops.. 100% smooth.
I turn off the screen..
Turn it back on.. And the lag is back.
Its getting on my nerves and I've tried EVERY ROM in here...
They all act the same..
I've done kernels and overclocking...
FSC... Blackhole...
I've flashed.. Reflashed and flashed again...
Nothing...
Can anyone PLEASE tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Can grab logcat thru adb or via an app like alogcat. Either will do the trick.
If you use adb, the command I use is adb logcat > XXX.txt . Run this when you reboot the phone and it will get the info needed. You can then attach the txt file here or on pastebin. Good luck

[q] samsung galaxy s4 stuttering.

Hi there.
I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S4 smartphone, and i am having some problems with it.
While watching youtube videos, and also while doing anything else on the phone, the screen will freeze for around 2-3 seconds, then unfreeze again.
This happens roughly every 3 minutes roughly.
I have tried clearing the youtube cache
I have tried enabling developer mode and turning on 'Force GPU rendering'.
I have tried rooting my phone, and downloading an app called project butter, which you may have heard of.
None of these actions have fixed the stuttering, so i really need help to find a permanent fix, or at the least, a temporary fix.
If someone could please help me out with this, i'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
