I can report that the first time I opened the camera a message toast popped up saying updating camera firmware :thumbup:
So far so good, my s4 is snappy snappy snappy. Keyboard was laggy but no more :thumbup:

Any other things you can tell that updated besides the camera?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

Other than performance improvements there is only seams some minor settings entries changes. Oh the about devices has different color icon
Camera app is the same.
I guess as this update is only a maintenance update it stands to reason that theres no major gui changes, it's all under the hood, like a grease and oil change.
I'd say performance is really good now, I have not noticed any lag so far.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Only really a performance improvement update it seems, plus the ability to use the SD card for pics and (some) apps now. Telstra still haven't got their act together and released their update, so I'm on the XSA unbranded version now, no more carrier crap.
Sammobile.com is a good place to look for recent firmwares. You can also check your specific model and region to see waht the most recent firmware is.

Okay new things I've found.
1. In "my device" settings, new drive mode settings (previously hidden). However when drive mode is enabled no more icon in notifications bar.
2. Applications manager, new listing for apps on sdcard.
That's all for now.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

Listing some noticeable performance improvements here.
1. Message app opens nice and quick now (2000 msgs)used to lag and slow to open.
2. Contacts list scrolls really smooth, I've only go 71 contacts (however I've got my contacts saved in 2 accounts Google & device so there's actually 142), but used to have scroll lag.
3. Keyboard lag is now gone, using back space used to lag bad so first time I used it to delete text got a surprise. Typing is good too when you press a letter it gets put on the screen.
4. Pressing home key is quick and responsive now (S-voice is completely disabled).

I think it is number of changes Samsung have applied. They don't release any changelist, just number.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2

Is there such a page for US Cellular?

higher changelist number means newer firmware revision. That´s all what we get from Samsung...

This is without a doubt the best stock rom i tried to date ! it offers great performance just absolutely no noticeable lagg and it provides a good battery life , best Rom to date Imo !

Its not a fake app. The one on the play store is fake.
Firstly check your internet connection that it is working properly. Secondly when you enter the app , it automatically takes you to bb website, press back key and you will get back in the app. If it again takes you to the website , press back and you will see a cross mark on the top right side, click it and you wont go back to the website.
I have been using it from the last night and have made 10 friends and joined 2 groups.
I personally feel its UI is much better than whatspp.
Check out the screenies.

Will it wrk on 2.3????

this unreleased version has already been disabled by Blackberry... so it won't work anymore..
this is also the reason why the official app's release will be delayed.... more info here..

Pebble Watch and GS4

So I just bought the pebble watch for my Galaxy S4. I have been hesitant because of the Samsung bug, but so far the only one I noticed was the video player bars staying there. Anyone else can tell me what this watch is capable of? Or if the issues come up on the phone with time?

I like it but I don't know if its worth the $150 iny head (personally) I want it as more of an extension of my phone rather than just read texts.
What talk back bug are you talking about? I have been trying to duplicate it and can't seem to find it

If you turn on accessibility so that you can get whatsapp messages etc on the watch, then it enables talkback

Hi!
I've been using my pebble for some time now. I don't use the talk back service, so it doesn't bother me.
I can recommend pebble notifier as well!
I doubt that the bars staying on in video player are because of the pebble, as I remember that I've had that before I even had ordered my pebble.
It has appeared once or twice after that randomly as well and disappeared.

New SW2 update with missing features

So Sony finally updated the smartwatch today.
Long awaited features:
+ new watchfaces (digital with date)
+ light sensor adjustable back light
+ stop watch app
Maybe even more under the bonnet. It's starting to get better.

A new release of Camera Smart extension is now also available on Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.extras.liveware.extension.camera
Also new update for Music Player Smart extension:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.extras.liveware.extension.music

Nice! But how do you update it?

Same. Saw a big white bar on the screen for about 30 seconds then it rebooted and it's got the new stuff on it.
Interestingly the camera smart extension is now incompatible with all my devices. Wasn't before but used to crash like a woman driver.

I have received the update also, completely automatic. The new watchfaces are ok, i have now the date and digital clock displayed in stand-by.
Trimis de pe Galaxy Note 2

Why did they make the date so small? Could have made it all bigger and used more of the space... Never satisfied!

I have to agree with you. It is just too small. Why is it so difficult to be a bit more thoughtful. Make it bigger and use the screen properly. But at least I have to give them credit. They are at least trying to improve the watch. Good job SONY keep up the good work.
Sent from my HTC One SV using xda app-developers app

Ya same here me too ... my only gripe is that they could have at least make the digital clock and the dates bigger. I don't mind if day and month not displayed, as long as there is date. And it never occurred to them to make a retro digital watchface like during the heydays of Casio in the early 90's. That would have made the SW2 more cooler.

everything is great with this update, maybe new watchfaces should be replaceable but...
email extension doesn't work now. It says that app is not supported on this device. any tip how back this app to life?

Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

The update is automatic only if you have your phone set to allow automatic update of applications as it comes as an updated SW2 app on the phone. Just wanted to make sure people who have the Play Store set for manual app updates aren't waiting for an automatic update of their smartwatch.

Try ART

First thing I did after signing in was switch to ART. If your going to do the same, I'd recommend you do it before downloading your apps. It has to optimize all apps on the device and I did it without downloading a single app. 324 apps. Took a while.

Not stupid at all bud. Unlock developer settings by going to "about phone" in settings, double tap "build number" 7 times until you see the toast msg that says "you are now a developer". Back out, go to the newly available " developer settings " and 3rd (4th if you count the first non selectable line) option which says "select runtime system" and change it to "ART". It will say Dalvik until you've changed it to ART. Choosing it will reboot your device and take a few minutes while sets up your apps for ART. It is possible that if could be incompatible with some apps but since it first released with 4.4, I haven't heard of this.

I think this sped up the start up time of the camera, which is still kinda slow. I just hope I don't have issues with some apps as I've heard of others that had to completely reset their phone to stop some apps from crashing even after returning to Dalvik and reinstalling the app...

Yeah, not too bad. It looks as if they started to redesign it but only got as far as settings and quick settings lol. With Nova and Flatro icons, it looks as though it's how it was supposed to be done. One of things that was always first on my list after rooting or flashing was changing the appearance of the status bar/quick settings. I like them now so with Nova, I really like the appearance. IMO.

I don't wanna open a thread for this so I'll try it here, I can't remember the "official" name, but "quick glance"? Something like that. When device is asleep, you wave over it and it displays the time and notifications. The one " motion gesture " I use and I can't find it. Hope they didn't ax it.
Anyone know how to enable it? Can't find it in the gestures section... Nor can I find lock screen widgets.
Sent from my SM-G900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I know people are all excited to try anything different, but ART on this device just isn't a good experience (at least on a stock device). I really wouldn't recommend switching, as you are unlikely to be pleased.
