sounds like we all get froyo tonight?
Delete Please
I went to SamsungMobile.com and USA is not listed nor does it say that I have that region selected by default based on my IP address or anything of the like.
So 2 questions...
How is this relevant to USA/AT&T customers ?
How do I verify I am reading information that's for my region ?
I'm 99% sure it's not for any US or Canadian versions of the galaxy s. If you guys check out the multiple threads pertaining to this very topic, you would know that. The update coming out today is for the European and Korean versions. Samsung has repeatedly said that the update rolling out today is only for Europe and the US will be getting it later this year.
LOL... No.
There are two things I know for FACT about the Froyo update.
Waiting for it is just part of it.
And when it drops the news WILL be unavoidable.
It's a Don't call us we'll call you kind of thing, and I bet the phone will ring right off the hook when it comes.
Don't want to get my hopes up, but this may be true.
I just connected to kies mini and instead of getting firmware version is up to date I got, "Failed to connect to the model information server". Others have been reporting this on another forum. So I guess it is worth a try tonight to see.
I definitely think something is in the works here. I have been trying to check for an update via Kies. Most of the morning I am getting "Failed to connect to the model information server". I believe some people received the same thing prior to the last update. Guess we will all have to wait and see.

go go go
That's in Korean ... so I am assuming the update is for Korean phones?

Looks like we can expect this update in the United States later today.
I just checked out samsungmobile.com and USA is not an available selection. So not really getting my hopes up about the reports of 2.2 later today.

Still, it's fun to see rumor threads pop up.
It'll be funnier when the "I flashed back to stock to get ready but nothing happened" threads pop up later.
**Waiting with baited breath**
Just connected mine to Kies and got the message saying I have the latest firmware version. Others have been having connection issues but mine synced right up ... I think this is another wild goose chase unless you are living in Korea.

I have been trying all morning and I think about 75% of the time I could not connect and the other 25% of the time I had the same results as you. Could be that everyone is trying the server is overwhelmed. Either way the link I put in my last post makes it sound like the update is likely to hit the US today.
I am not holding my breath though since every Samsung phone I have ever owned has been one goose chase after the next when it comes to updates.
I think waiting around for froyo has made me bitter. I keep getting my hopes up only to get shot down ... I have become a pessimist. Gee thanks Samsung haha.

I heared it was WEDNESDAY! LOL
This update is not for the US market but for everyone else. I found this comment on the Galaxy S twitter page:
@imms0fat Hi Rich. Thx for that article. It refers to non-US phones. Samsung USA and TMO should release 2.2 by the end of the year.
So us US folks are left in the cold til years end
Trust. Me if it was coming out for our phones (USA) android central would be all over it. So far nothing from them.

Hey, I can't fine the galaxy s twitter page. Can you link me?
Thank you,
Please could anyone with an HTC 8X complete the linked survey? I am trying to get some clarity on what the issue may be. Many thanks in advance.

It can and will do. I don't have an ATT phone as I am in the UK and most of the reports I have had are from Europe which is where I am taking the versions from. Please let me know what you need added and then yes it will apply to everyone. Thanks

I have added a further bootloader and firmware option. If yours still isn't listed, please let me know so I can add it, and I will post back here when it is in.
This is now featured on The Verge, the MS support forums, and I have personally emailed the CEOs of both HTC UK and MS UK.

It is set when you manually set up an APN. If you can't edit one that was automatically set up then it won't be available. I'll add a "Not Sure" option shortly and post back here.

Thanks, info of people that don't have reboots is also useful as it gives us a control.
im using my htc 8x for almost 3 weeks´now. there was no reboot and no Crash in the meantime.
The lumias have the reboot Problem too, so this survey is pretty useless. I' m pretty sure it has nothing to to with 8X firmware. Vor most people it helps to switch to 3G, 2G or add a manual APN.
Sent from my Lumia 920 using Board Express
In my htc8x there was not any reboot, but i have some battery "problems". Sometimes the % go down quickly, almost 15% per hour, but the phone is cold, is not hot as we expected because of high use of the processor, later i connect the phone to the charger and charges around 40% in five minutes, that is not possible so i have one theory about that: the software that controls the % need a fix, it tells you that you are loosing battery but that is not real

I have to take back my words. I've had two reboots this week:
- While listning to music
- Unlocking lockscreen
I *do* remember having run some 7.5 app before the reboot. But I read MS is dispatching a ota hotfix in December, so here's hoping :victory:
Had the phone since yesterday, didn't get a reboot yet.
Firmware not in survey, got firmware 1532.20.1006.666 with Bell/Aliant in Canada. Bootloader ain't in the survey either, I'm running 0.0.1532.20(156287).
I don't have any of the versions of Firmware or Bootloader shown on the survey. Can you please add this to your survey?
T-Mobile (US)
HTC 8X
Firmware: 1532.20.10006.531
Bootloader: 1532.20(156382)
Thank You
My phone's Firmware and Bootloader versions are not available in your list. They are as follows
Firmware - 1532.20.10021.707
Bootloader version - 0.0.1532.20(157808)
I am in India and bought my device over here. No random reboots for me as of now and it's been 2 weeks since I bough the phone.
Edit: Attaching screenshot for full details.
Has anybody else gotten a notification for a new update? If so, any idea what it's for?
Looks like more app updates and some "security updates"

Same. No place to turn off updates. It asks you, you say no. Then at some point it just does it anyway. I would be irked if that happened in the middle of work and suddenly you're watching an optimizing apps countdown.
I checked yesterday, said i was up to date on 10e, which this is now 10g. So now i have to wait the 24hrs until i can 'check again'. Stupid rules..

Sometimes you can go under settings go to ALL Apps and find the correct app that updates and u can clear the cache and it clears the timer. Just not sure which app it is.
I said no, turned off wifi and came back to my phone saying the update was complete... thanks LG/ATT/Google for allowing this
Do you have to be on USA to get the update? I have the H810, I'm not on USA and I haven't gotten any update *yet*.
DON'T OTA
going to post this once... please spread the word into the other G4 subforums and any related posts anywhere.
I'm not sure if this is cause for alarm... but just putting the warning out there... based on viewing the latest USCC and T-Mobile files... these recent OTAs for USA carriers seem to be implementing "antirollback" which means you can never "go back" to a lesser version. To simplify things... fresh out of the box all of your phones were at "0" and now after the OTA they're at "1". Both the TMO and USCC KDZ file's are based on the OTA which is a "1" so there's no concern of flashing an older KDZ by mistake... at least for now. Not sure what will happen with future updates.
Can only confirm this on the TMO H811 and USCC US991... Still waiting on Sprint users to grab the OTA URL or zip name for me so I can inspect that... but I suspect all of the recent OTAs from AT&T, Sprint and Verizon also used the "1" update. The European/Asian/Etc variants still seem to be using the "0" version.. even after the recent updates. [Not every OTA will bump up the "version"]
I can't say what this means as a whole just yet... Maybe nothing at all. But perhaps for those who wish to stay at that fresh "0" for now... try your best to avoid the OTA update. I know the intl phones can disable updates but this option has been removed in USA variants. There are talks of an app that allows you to disable apks on your phone... I haven't used it myself but perhaps for those who want to maybe block the OTA app (LGDMSClient.apk)... worth checking out. This is said app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...bloat-t2998294
apks to attempt to disable:
/system/priv-app/LGDMSClient/LGDMSClient.apk (not in all phones)
/system/priv-apps/LGUpdateCenter/LGUpdateCenter.apk

Nothing has worked, not waiting day after day and checking, not rolling back the date/time. Nada, still says i'm up to date.
Meanwhile my wife's phone, and co workers phones all getting the update to 10G.
Whatever, guess i'm not cool enough. :cyclops:
UPDATE: Even did factory reset, still no 10g for me.

This is starting to be the new norm. Samsung's for example. I've given up on any boot loader unlocks on any device or carrier going forward.
This morning I got a notification for the update but before I could switch to WiFi and start the download the notification went away. Now when I try to go to manually check for the OTA it says "Your software is up to date you must now wait A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF HOURS and 3 minutes before you can check again because you are a update seeking android-update-crackhead who pushed the button to many times.(7996 hours I believe"
I have tried the setting the clock ahead trick but it hasnt worked for some time. I have tried clearing several different app-data/cache files in settings, searched XDA & Google, and tried multiple reboots/restarts without being able to get the OTA notification again. I have tried looking for the update on LG Bridge as well. If anyone here has any suggestions of what I might try I would be truly grateful for them. I don't want to root the device and I have already slapped myself for being a over active update checker. THANKS!!
What update are you running on your u11.. I am still running on 1.13.4 update and i haven't received any update other than that, do you think the new update is worth it? What did they Change in the new update and which is better
You won't get an update, you're destined to 1.13. sorry bro.

In other words stop opening useless threads. Seriously I'm starting to get annoyed and that isn't easy. There are plenty of update, discussion threads. Are you going for a high score or something?
What is exact software version you talking about. I saw yesterday someone got update as 1.27.400.9 and that 400 part in software give hint at region, but I've not got update on my phone and I'm checked couple of time a day but no luck. I'm on 1.13.400.6, I do know that TW(Taiwan version of U11) also got new update and also HK, didn't hear any news about EU U11, like 1.13.401.x ...
(Revised 3/2/21)
If by now, you haven't received this firmware update from your wireless provider, something is askew and you probably should start looking that. Other than that, if you're not already running on it, you've probably made that choice!
As with all software updates, it's never a bad time to either perform a new backup before commencing with the OTA download, or at least check on what date your showing for the last one (usually, you'll find your handset performs these daily, once every 24 hours). As for me personally, that's my cue to run my backup to my microsd card via the Smartswitch app!
The last friendly reminder I wanted to share witb some of our newcomers that have recently graced us with their presence, is to make certain you're at (or pretty damn close) to 75% charged on your new flagship! The way these new "beasts" we own "bleed-out" our batteries, it's not a bad idea to "up the ante" with the old school rule of having your battery at 50% or more before downloading the update! I saw this same topic mentioned on one of the other forums/channels the other day and thought it was some good advice? Eh, to each his/her own...whatever works for you!

I read Samsung already started rolling out out this update at the beginning of the week(2/15)
to include this handset. I'm TMB and that's a
no-go (so far) and Sprint hasn't rolled it out either.
Anyone with new Intel on this matter, please share as a small monetary contribution will be made available(jk)!

yep, saw that, but you're an Unlocked, Carrier Branded SM-N986U, not SM-N986U1. That's where my confusion came about until I figured it out looking at FOTA!
I know it's no cause for alarm (with samsung, it happens more often than not) but I didn't see a new build # assigned yet for XAA(as if they hadn't started one, but much more likely they just failed to update their system)!
However, for those of you SM-N986U1 users (like myself) seeing this dialog, we could be in for a little longer wait, meaning we may not have Our Update by this coming Monday (3/1), as a few of the websites I saw earlier were speculating!
(We will know more soon, I'm certain)!

**ONE UI 3.1 SOFTWARE UPDATE IS HERE!**
I'm on the unlocked SM-N986U1 connected to Verizon and still no update for me. I thought having an unlocked phone straight from Samsung would put me in line to get the updates first, but I guess not. I was one of the last N20U users to get 3.0, and now the same seems to be the case for 3.1. I saw articles talking about it being pushed out the Note 10's already.

I have bought two notes from Samsung directly over the years because I was under the impression if I bought the phones straight from Sammy I would get more features and faster updates. But as time goes on I see now that the unlocked phones are second class to Sammy. It seem to me like Sammy can't help but stroke off the carriers and bend to what they want.

I'm glad to see Samsung always improving their camera function as that is one of their claim-to-fames, one that snagged-me as I've said many times! However, I was sorta expecting to see something thrown in the mix about changes implemented to extend battery life...wasn't just me, right?
