Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 4.2.2 update?

Hmm... I just grabbed my P5113 tab and turned Wifi on and it immediately chimed software update in notifications and went away. So like anyone else, i was curious and went to manually check for a software update and in stead of getting the normal "you have the latest software version" blah blah blah, it said this
"Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later"
Now I can only assume this means the servers containing the update are at full capacity and aren't able to handle anymore concurrent connections. Meaning too many people are trying to pull the update?
Can anyone confirm this and is my assumption correct why i can't get it right now?

I'm seeing the same message. I haven't seen that one before. Fingers crossed!

There is a gt-p5113 4.2.2 showing up on sammobile so it looks like it's heading your way. You could always try Kies if you can't wait, or flash the one on Sammobile. I'm still waiting for the gt-p5110. Fingers crossed

Unfortunately, I now have the update on my GT-P5113.
What a major pile of crap. All of my carefully arranged Touchwiz pages? Cleared.
All of my purchased apps? Gone.
I'm used to that, since Samsung never bothered to update the US WiFi tabs to 4.1.2; the 4.1.1 release loses track of purchased apps when you reboot. For that release, I just had to reinstall them.
For this release? Nope. Purchased apps download, then the play store fails with error "-24". You can't have those back.
Oh, and of course, my root access is gone, so I can't remove the stray folders causing that "-24" error.
This isn't even a HALF baked update. Unless you're ready to factory reset afterwards and reinstall everything from scratch you may want to avoid it.
At this point, that's probably what I'm going to have to do.
Now to find out how I can get superuser access back. What fun.

hmmm that sucks man. sorry to hear, but that is strange about the purchaced apps as its account bound to your Gmail account. You should be able to just go and redownload them.
As for Root... I never had the need to root mine as i just used it for streaming my own content (video) to it and i already got 9-10 hours of streaming on 1 charge so stock was fine for me.
The thing is i was thinking or rooting to get 4.2.2 on it since you have to have 4.2.2 to screen mirror with allshare cast. I want to be able to run my slingplayer on my tab and screen mirror the slingplayer to my sammy smart tv. I can do it on my GS4 but the phone gets to hot trying to watch a 2-3 hour sporting event.

Yes, you can redownload. But you can't install them without removing the old copy of the application folders, which requires root. (You get a "-24" error from the play store when you try to install.
Oh, and they disappear again on the next restart.
AND it seems to restore a whole bunch of apps each restart, which then causes another mass download from the play store: Gmail, Books, Magazines, Movies, Music, Search, Plus, Hangouts, Kindle, Maps, Samsung Music Hub, Peel, Samsung Push Service, Talk Back, YouTube are all reverted on a restart.
This has not been good. As I said earlier, I may have to factory reset and start over. Maybe it'll be better starting fresh.

Hmm... I still can't pull it down. It is able to be had via Kies but I refuse to ever load that crap on my PC so I am stuck checking every few hours i guess.

I have updated my wife's GT-P5113 last night using Kies. Everything went smoothly. This one is as stock as it can be, not even root.

A factory reset got my problems completely sorted out. It's stable and seems to be running fine.
Apparently there was some kind of permissions problem in the per-user folder scheme but since I didn't know what they were supposed to be set to, I decided to bite the bullet and do the reset.
After that, and a long wait while it re-installed everything, it's working just fine now.

Yeah I got the download last night and all was fine no need to FDR for mine (though mine wasn't rooted) The thing i do not like is it went to a phone UI rather then the Tablet UI. I liked the notification area in the bottom right corner as to the top pull down like a phone. That i feel was a mistake in UI planning. Your hands normally are on the sides and to the bottom so it was more intuitive to get to the Notification area with your right thumb. Also the back button is now in the bottom center of the screen instead of the far left bottom where you could easily reach with your left thumb to go back.
Everything else is very familiar compared to my GS4 4.2.2 so that is good. Im not happy that there is no screen mirroring that came with 4.2.2 like it's on the GS4 and i even yanked all the APKs out from the GS4 and they won't install on the Tab 4.2.2 so it must be a framwork thing or system.ui maybe idk. all i know is im disappointed about this fact.

I still don't see the update on my P5113. Tried ota and kies, says 4.1.1 is the latest. Could it be that I'm in Canada? It's not rooted, totally stock. Any ideas?

Hi guys, I updated by KIES from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2. Mine is Tab2 10.1 GTP5113 USA WiFi 16 GB. Only problem is that can't turn device off... it reboots immediately after screen goes black... did a hard reset and still the same... then rooted to see if problem fix, but no luck... sometimes turn off sometimes not... next step could be install a custom Rom to see if I can fix the problem...
Wanted to know if somebody else faced this in past times or just in this new upgrade to 4.2.2? Or if somebody could give any ideas... maybe I'am missing something, maybe have to do or try something... I don't know..
Cheers

Hi @fgoyti for your location I don't think it is? I'm in Venezuela and I upgraded by KIES... unfortunately I got a problem... I described it in my previous post... Maybe you only have to try again.

Clean download and install of 4.2.2 yesterday. Went to settings, update software pushed the button and away it went.
Works great for me without any issues. I like it very much. Smooth and fast. On my Galaxy Tablet 2 7 GT-P3113.
I'm in Honolulu. Had to try three times before it started. Had to wait my turn I think !
My download was OTA from my GT-P3113 Galaxy 2 7 tried 3 times then download started. I went to sleep and when I woke up the new firmwar,4.2.2, was installed and running without my help. I am very happy as I said it works great, smooth, and fast.

Trying fixing turn off problem
Related my previous post... found original firmware 4.1.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1704668 and flashed it.. now I have stock and Tab turns off normally... well, when try to update OTA got the pop up message "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later"
Advice to who needs to flash stock 4.1.1 (for the reason it was): it happens to me... flashed following the post.. by ODIN with TAR but got an endless bootloop, the solution was going into recovery and do a Hard Reset wiping data and cache... then it booted normally. Maybe it happens because it was a downgrade... I don't know.
Hope nobody else got (and gets) the problem I faced when update to 4.2.2.
Now I'll try again to update by Kies to see if the problem persists... if yes then I'll get back to 4.1.1 and wait for OTA update...
Cheers

Hi @DrJoepa, did you upgrade by KIES or OTA? Appreciate your answer... :good:

Yeah i didn't have any issues at all, especially with turning on and off. I got it OTA and its been fine. Though it is a little laggy sometimes. I may just root it later anyway, but for now it's stable and pretty fast. Certainly faster then 4.1.1

Any news on the wi fi only version?

I just got the 4.2.2 update on my tab as well so far it's nice.

Only can tell you that app Google Pay Movies works but the service it's not available in my country... about Google TV I even don't have the app.
Now I ask you about CM10.2. It's Nightly, isn't? And how does it works?
I am considering installing it because of the problems I described in previous post... none the less I will try the installation OTA because I have tried twice with KIES and my problem that unable turn off the Tab is't fixed... sometimes does and sometimes not... ii's disgusting...
PD: I saw that CM10.2 it's 4.3 . Please @ingenious247 tell us how does it works...

Gear Manager 5 Sep update

All,
The 5 September update of Gear Manager caused my watch to continuously disconnect from my Note 3.
The only thing I could do was factory reset the Gear 2 and reconnect. However, restoring the backup failed as the progress indicator remained at 100% and never continued. The last resort was a full wipe and start from scratch reinstalling all the apps.
Gear Manager settings show that an old backup is still present but it is greyed out.
Anyone else had this problem?

I'm runing tizen mod 3.0 and my galaxy s4 running hyperdrive RLS 18.1. I am having the same issues but cannot figure out of its eithe rof my roms on the phone or watch. i did notice that this disconnect issue did not occur when I had the stock factory image on my gear 2. I thought it might be the roms. But now that you mention it, it may be the latest update with gear manager.
I'm hoping some savy developer or someone with more expertise on the issue can shed some light on this issue.

Thanks for the heads up. I was able to pull the old gear Manager apk file and did 4 factory resets on my watch and my phone to get the thing up and running again. Can't believe samsung would update the gear Manager and not do extensive testing if people are already complaining of it breaking gear 2 connection. [emoji19]

Any chance you could post the old gear manager apk?

I have TizenMod 3.0 and Saproviders stops, I can't get notifications on the gear anymore... Samsung is really making me lose patience :/
Edit : all due to today's upgrade.

Same here. Anyone else know if we can deactivate the automatic updating? I did my bi-weekly CWM backup just last night (lucky!) so I have no problem restoring but as soon as I reboot the damn thing automatically updates! I want to pull the sim out, do a restore, deactivate the auto-update function and just leave it as it is until there is a fix. I would try restoring from Titanium but there are like 9 additional apps that it either installs or updates after the new Gear Manager installs!

This may be late for some of you but this is how I get around the problems...
1) Before you update the gear manager app, make a backup of the gear manager apps with titanium backup. (all the apps associated with gear manager will have the same gear logo)
2) Then open the app and update the software
3) Once complete, confirm that your Gear watch is connecting and receiving notifications. (The easiest way to do that is send yourself a text message)
4) If your watch is not working correctly or not connecting to the phone, then go back into titanium backup and restore the Gear Manager app back to the backup you made in step 1.
5) Repeat steps 2 and 3 until it works.
I personally had to do this twice before it connected and I received notifications. For future updates this is the only way I would do it because it is such a glitchy application and I'm tired of factory resetting my Gear and re-installing everything multiple times.
I hope this helps someone!

Strangely enough this update worked fine for me. It was the previous update that messed all up here..

Was your watch rooted or modded?

Not this time. Reverted back to stock just to be sure after the problems of the previous update. Just had it rooted then though.

So you used ODIN to revert to stock, rooted by normal means and then updated the Gear Manager and it worked fine afterwards?

I flashed stock with Odin and left it that way after the problems with the previous gear manager update. Before that I just ran stock rooted, no custom rom. The only reason I rooted was to remove the camera sound, but I don't use the camera that much on the gear.

I'm thinking that this new Gear Manager update checks the watch for root access and won't let it connect. That's just my first impression anyway.
I removed root from my watch but kept TizenMod, re-paired the watch and it connected without a hitch.

I don't think root is the problem because most of the comments are negative and I doubt most people have their Gear rooted. I think it's a software issue because even before root was available there were plenty of people having issues with connecting and the software has not improved much since then.

When was the last time you made a positive comment for something like that on Play Store?
Still... you might be right. All I know is that as soon as I un-rooted it cleared right up. Could be coincidence though.

If it's an app I really like and support then I'll make a positive comment but I do also make negative comments as well. Root may cause some issues but before I had root I still had trouble with the app and had to factory reset multiple times just to get it to connect. I'm rooted and it still took me 2 times of trying to update to get it to work correctly. I think overall, Samsung did not spend enough time developing before releasing the Gear and Gear Manager. They're too busy pushing out a new phone every year and a new watch every 6 months.

Agreed. This is definitely a poor job on Samsung. They did this **** just before the release of the Gear S? What a way to win hearts and minds. Think Apple will have these issues? I mean damn... the developers on this forum don't even have fails this big! When they notice that something that they developed doesn't work as expected they pull the link, fix the problem, TEST IT and then release it almost immediately. This is neglect.

Beep'nGo on Marshmallow

Can anyone confirm if it works or not on Marshmallow?

Stock.

I'm on AOSP VRToxin 6.0.1 and it doesn't work. It opens but somehow the barcode is not readable from the scanner. Tried on two different supermarkets where beep n go on lollipop would work flawlessly. I'm on S4 GT-I9505 btw.

About 2-3 weeks ago I noticed Beep-n-Go had stopped working on my T-Mobile Galaxy S6. I suspected it was due to the latest Beep-n-Go update and I worked with a tech from Mobeam for about a week via email but to no avail. Today I even uninstalled Beep-n-Go and all Beaming Service updates and downloaded the previous version of Beep-n-Go and installed it. Just tried it out at Kroger and it's still not working!
I'm beginning to believe something went sideways when I got the Marshmallow update a month or two ago... The tech from Mobeam has stopped responding to my emails. I'm inclined to go on a pubic Twitter campaign to get some visibility on my plight and see if Mobeam will respond then.

if you're rooted, backup /system/app/BeamService, uninstall Beaming Service with Titanium Backup, reboot, copy backup back to /system/app (it won't install if you open the APK, I tried), reboot
I think that's what eventually fixed it for me, I'm not sure though because I'm sure I tried that a few times before contacting support who told me to clear data for the service and reboot, which was the first thing I did when I found out it wasn't working
otherwise, you might have to try a factory reset
I ended up buying a cheap USB barcode scanner so I could test it easily

I'm not rooted. Knox is still cherry (it hasn't been tripped). I have rooted other phones in the past, but with the S5 and S6 since Knox was added, tripping Knox affects the resale value and I'd rather not do it.
As to Mobeam's lack of response, I've sent one tweet to @Mobeam so far and of course, I didn't receive a reply!! I then emailed Mobeam again asking if I was deliberately being ignored, also with no reply. I may be sending several tweets in "machine-gun" fashion to Mobeam as my next tactic.

Android Pay

Anyone having any luck setting up Android Pay? If I go to add a card I just get a black screen and it seems to freeze. I've tried clearing the cache and data and it doesn't help.

@mattcoz, it worked fine for me. I just received my Pixel yesterday (decided to go for the smaller device after using a Nexus 6 and a Nexus 6P) and added a debit card without any issue. However, I did NOT set this up as a new device. I set it up based on my Nexus 6P. Very painless and pretty quick. BTW, I think I'm really going to like this phone.

It's exactly the same for me @mattcoz I have escalated it using the chat help.

I set up a card the day I got it with no problems.

There was a new Android Pay app update today but it didn't fix it. (V1.8 135831409)

Android Pay no longer works if your bootloader is unlocked. SOURCE
So if you've unlocked the bootloader, that's your problem.

Install ElementalX kernel and your good to go. They have found a work around for it.

I have not unlocked the bootloader and it simply does not work. Google have taken three weeks to sort this already and no response yet to my ticket.

I had the same issue. It took a couple of hours and a lot of patience to get 4 cards loaded. Had to let it sit on each loading screen for a while and sometimes had to retry. Not sure if it was just a coincidence, but it seemed to help speed things up slightly by switching to another app and then going back to Android Pay again.
I just hope they fix this issue before I need to add a card again.

SamPWND interfering with Gear VR?

I have a S8+ on Verizon, and after rooting I am having some weird problems in Gear VR. When you first put boot up Gear VR it works excellent, maybe even better than before root. But if you take the headset off so that the screen shuts off and leave if off for about 10-15 seconds (but not removing the phone from the headset) two things happen. When you put it back on, it is clear when you are still, but there is severe motion blur when you turn your head. Secondly, the screen brightness stays at max no matter where you put the slider in setting. If you take the phone out of the headset, and then put in back in again, everything is normal until you take it off and try to put it back on.
I was trying to troubleshoot it but I can't quite figure out what is happening. It has the motion blur even with one eye shut. It doesn't show up on the recording as far as I can tell. I didn't use gear vr for a few weeks prior to rooting so I am not sure if this is a global Gear VR problem from one of their updates, or if this is coming from the SamPWND root. Has anyone experienced this?
I did also try uninstalling and reinstalling Gear VR and Oculus if anyone was wondering.

Is there anyone that has a SamPWND rooted phone who uses Gear VR that can comment on this? I am wondering if I should start from scratch and re-root, but am not sure if it will help.

No, I never got an answer. If you are using Samfail, the newest root method, it might not be working because it is debloated. You would have to download the needed gear vr apk files from another site, because it won't happen automatically when you plug it in to the VR goggles. I am not sure if that root method cleared up the motion blur I had or not. I gave up on Samfail too because I couldn't get the DEX Dock to work, and couldn't get an answer for it on here.

I think the biggest issue ended up being that I needed facebook installed (which was debloated from SamFail).
I found the setup wizard here https://gear-vr-setupwizard.en.aptoide.com/ It took a little doing (I think b/c of FB not installed) but it finally works now.
So you went back to stock?

Did you ever get this sorted out?
I'm in a similar boat, but I can't seem to get it to work at all.

Yeah I am stock for the time being because I use my DEX quite a bit and couldn't figure out how to get it working again. I was also getting the Kernel Panic a lot for some reason. I miss root because of things I do with Tasker. Maybe in the future I will return.
