[Q] Has froyo been released for T-Mobile UK users???

Hey guys, my friend has a T-Mobile locked Galaxy S (which he doesn't want to unlock) and he is still on 2.1, I could've sworn froyo had been released but he is saying kies is showing that no update is available, I never had this issue when I used to have my galaxy s, being unlocked meant I was always using the latest fw's. Just looking for some clarification on this issue, thanks in advance. On an unrelated note I will be rejoining android tomorrow or Tuesday, I have now sold my iPhone 4 in favour of the desire HD. P.S can a mod please delete my other thread titled "Has group been released for T-Mobile UK users?" as my stupid iPhone 4 renamed froyo to group, thanks.

Yes it has.

He may need to update to the latest Kies to get it "Kies 2"
If he cannot then details of his SGS's region and current software would be useful to get an answer.

Android 4.4 KitKat could be released on GS3 i9305?
If is it yes, when it will be released?
Sorry for my bad English, i'm a French guy :s

i read on a website some time back that it will roll out at the end of April...but i don't think so....the update is due...it will come...but no one knows an exact date...or even the month...we have to wait..

Some time ago, i reed something like Samsung only supports Devices not older then 18 month...
BUT!
On a german page (ukonio.de) stands that in May vor June the 'american' version of the S3 with 2Gbyte RAM (maybe they mean the i9305?) will get a offical KitKat.
So i guess the signs are good!

The American versions shares only the image of the intl i9300/i9305. There's no Exynos, no MALI... it's a Dual core Qualcomm.

Oh, OK... Didn't knew that... But the sprint is now getting 4.4 official http://support.sprint.com/support/a...viceAdvisory_542_GKB49847-2?&INTNAV=SU:ATL:RV
And maybe we have luck and get it too...

[Q] Official Kitkat 4.4

Hey guys,
Anyone knows when the official stock android 4.4 update for the i9305. A leaked samsung document said it would roll out in may, but it's july and i still don't have the update.
I know i could flash an custom rom but every 4.4 ROM i try has really annoying battery drain (i flashed CM11, omni, carbon, LS) so if anyone has an idea, please tell me! And if there's anyone with a battery-friendly 4.4 rom, please tell me!
Sorry for my bad english BTW.

Thanks man! but i don't see the S3 LTE in the list, does that mean that we won't get the update?

Well to start off with, Australia only got 4.3 on the I9305T in the last few months.. NC1 is still 4.3.
The reason it's not on the list is because that's a list of approved/completed updates.
The I9300 was probably cancelled as it doesn't support the Knox Bootloader.
The I9305 does support Knox, so it's fair to assume they will release 4.4.2+ for us at some point.
Until Samsung release some official information on it, enjoy 4.3!

KitKat update for S3 LTE is ready. It's only matter of preparing (add own bloatware) by carriers. Some of them already rolled it out. Search google for: "When will my device receive the latest KitKat" - should be first link on samsung site.

Yes it is, but in april there was a leaked document with information about the LTE version receiving kitkat in may/june, pretty weird.:crying:

so update for our device should roll very very soon...i hope we get it by the end of this month at least...

The I9301 uses a Snapdragon processor... Maybe Samsung engineering team can t update the kernel of their processor (exynos). If Samsung doesn't update it is my last Samsung. Its a Shame... Bad advertising for Exynos products...

Thanks bro, i hope it's reliable and we'll get it

Once it gets released, we just have to wait for someone to un-knox it, so that 4.1.2 bootloader users will be able to use it...
By the way, what are the new features that it will have over the tw 4.3 jb???? (Apart from the ugly battery icon!!!)

Eagerly waiting for the update. I believe SG I9305 will get 4.4 soon. It's about time.

It's about the issue with RAM. KitKat was designed for 512MB RAM devices but unfortunately KitKat with TouchWiz needs 2GB and that's why only i9305 will have this update.

Theres no kit kat for us... I regret so much having bought this phone. Damn exynos chip!
Today i ve broken the screen glass...
I always tought that was a s4 or 5.. But i' ve learned the lesson, next phone: nexus 5, motorola x or one plus one.

Android 7.0 ROM For Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 (T-715)

Hi
I have recently purchased Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 (T-715) and rooted it. Few days back android 7.0 has released and I want to upgrade my tablet to android 7.0. It is not possible to upgrade from "About Device" menu as it gives error:
The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software update using Smart Switch on your computer or visit a customer service center.

Last year same thing happened with my Nexus 7 and then I downloaded the rom and manually upgraded it. Now I want to do the same thing for my Samsung tablet but I am unable to find the rom.
Kindly guide me that from where I can download android 7.0 rom for my tablet?
Regards

Lol, you will probably never see android 7 on your device...
It's only available for nexus and the Pixel c for the moment.
And samsung will release it just for a few models.
Galaxy tab s2 may not be one of these

Its a bad news
Is there any general version of which can be downloaded and installed? like in linux kernels we have a "vanila" version which is originally released without any patches etc.

That's not true. As SamMobile published some times ago, our sm t-715 it's likely to be updated to the latest android version 7.0. Same as the other variants. There are no official informations though, but we will see in the future what happens. Personally by one side i think that our tab has the right specs to be updated, on the other side i'm afraid about two things:
1) Samsung could be lazy and forget a relatively new and high spec device to be updated
2) Developement community isn't very populated and every version of Android Nougat that will be out unofficially (if one there will ever be) will broken fingerprint support and Mobile network on LTE variants.
P.s i'm very sorry, i wish to link you to the article i saw on internet but i cannot fin it, very sorry.

Realistically, I think we will all be waiting somewhere between 6 months to 1 year, IF this tablet gets Android 7 at all.
If not, its a case of waiting for a custom rom.
If you wanted instant updates, you should have bought the Pixel C, (as the Nexus 9 is rubbish.)

tab s1 has just got android 6 so maybe there is hope for s2 and 7

I have two questions:
1. Are custom roms safe?
2. If you find any custom rom, will you post link here?
Thanks

No, never use a custom rom. All veterans here on XDA know only the North Koreans publish custom roms in hopes of tricking a newbie to download it so they can hack your computer.
If you have a friend that is using a custom rom on their phone please block there phone number if it is not too late, as a phone call from them will affect your phone as well.

Will Tab S2 8.0 (SM-T710) ever get Android 7.x Nougat?

I believe that the 9.7" version of the Tab S2 already got its Android 7.x (Nougat) update. Will the 8.0 (SM-T710) version ever get this, too, or has Samsung just abandoned this tablet and we're out of luck?
--Ron

we should get it soon... wasn't aware the 9.7 got it already but after getting it last week on my s7 i want it on my tablet now...

No Tab S2 has gotten the Nougat update yet. It is scheduled for late April or Mid-May. Believing is not knowing.

I don't think it will get N, Samsung usually only provide one GEN update to each devices.
Our S2 already had L>M, so............

Bullsh**

It is - edit the URL to say 813 instead of 810: http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-T813

Thanks. I searched but didn't find it. Alas no Nougat update listed

Nougat for T-810 is officially out: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/7-0-sm-t810-manual-install-t3585044

Looks like the T710 is getting updated too. https://plus.google.com/+DavidIwantschak/posts/ZkAMV45EpqH

In that case the t813 should definitely get it too!

We should, but the 813 is a Snapdragon based tablet, not Exynos, so the 710 getting it is no guarantee. However, I find it hard to imagine that they would update the older tablet and not the newer one.
