On SFR document leak says january 2015

i've received a update for the S-health that brought the material design for the app, with the same kind of colors/design that we have seen on the leaked Note 3 Lollipop ROM.
unfortunately i've flashed another rom today and the s-health app doesn't have updated again yet.

i'd also donate for a knox protection / bypass.

If it is 5.01 then they can keep it. Kit Kat atm is fine don't need memory leaks.
Lfg 5.02 or 5.03 as they like

Delay in receiving the update is adding me frustration!!!!

Here's a LINK to the manual for those interested.

Pretty sure it's been a few days now, so I guess it wasn't really imminent at all

there are major bugs with the current lollipop - memory leak and GPS non functional. would hope samsung releases only after fixing those two major issues.

At first when I read this, I thought the Lollipop update was available manually, as in not OTA but if you search manually via Kies or smth. But it was THE manual.
I guess it says more about me being to eager about Lollipop than anything else.
Anyway good info, downloaded it

What a surprise that my wifes s5 got it last night. Seems pretty cool so far. I am just so curious why samsung has to have multiple csc firmwares to where as have one firmware and adjust accordingly. The average user should not have to wait any longer than the next user. Meaning I have a csc of VIA for o2 germany and yet I am sure it wont get Loliipop till way after DBT debital Germany. Luckily I am not the average user and will flash whichever comes first!

Sammobile just said lollipop for note 4 next month.

well, it was just leaked for the the chinese N9106 version...

Ty Alex, please keep posted if possible...

Looking forward to the update. My s5 got it and it's been a surprisingly robust experience so far.

Its coing thanx

i think the update will have been slowed down due to sammy working v5 and testing only for 5.0.1 emerging so dumping v5 and starting again on 5.0.1. now 5.0.2 has emerged. i want lollipop sooner rather than later but more than that i want it to work flawlessly so im prepared to wait for the update that works rather than getting it now with issues

Got my Galaxy Note...but...

Hey Guys I got my galaxy note today! it's awesome!!!....but...I immediately tried to check for updates... but after agreeing with the terms and conditions, it says "Registration is failed. Try Again?".
How can I get around this and update my device OTA?
Here's my phone info:
Model: Galaxy Note GT-N7000
Android: 2.3.6
Baseband: N7000XXKK5
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXKKA
have you tried installing Kies on your PC, then connecting the Phone via cable so that Kies can update it?
4.0 isn't available through OTA atm so you'd need to do the Kies thing

I'm doing that right now! Thanks! ... I guess my Galaxy Nexus habits are hard to break! LOL!
Sorry to hijack the thread but I also got my G.Note, but yesterday . Got it from Amazon Germany, and as soon as I took it out and connected it to the Wifi Internet it said that it had found the OTA update for the ICS.
I cancelled the update as I was not sure if it was worth it. I hear so many people saying that Gingerbread runs smoothly but that ICS is a pain. I also hear about all the camera bugs, etc that ICS has.
The question I have is: Should I keep with Gingerbread for a while longer or should I just update to ICS?
Thank you all for your advice.

I have tried Criskelo ICS, CM9, Stunner, Liquid Smooth and various GB roms. Even though I like some features of the ICS rom, I eventually settle for Chrack GB rom. It run smooth with good battery life and I have no problem runing all the applications I needs. I suggest that you use your GB rom for awhile before trying to update.

there were several updates to note (at least on mine, Base/Eplus Contract btw)
before ICS, and since ICS is not yet available OTA i think you can hit update on your phone until there are none left, then you should have the most recent Gingerbread version.
for ICS, see last post: Kies update^^
Sadly i already did the Samsung Kies update to ICS and now i have some battery problems (google cloud service and several other Wakelocks draining like a *****)
apart from that little problem ICS is working fine
Hi all and thank you for your input.
As for the last post from Aiphares, I can confirm that there is an OTA update for ICS for my phone.
If I hit update it says that an important 4.0 ROM is available and that it will be 316mb (if I remember it correctly). If I wanted to update now or later.
So I did hit later to see what your replies would be, as I did not want to be one of those asking for help how to revert to gingerbread because my phone could have horrible battery drain, or any other known ICS bug.
I would really like to have a working ICS on my phone, and hopefully something that would improve the S Pen, so that I could actually use it for my daily annotations (minutes of meetings, etc.).
Why can't Android battery just improve, I remember that from Froyo to Gingerbread the battery got much better. Well we can't have it all with these dual cores running in our pockets.
As for the custom ROMs I first want to try the official ones, and if I am am not happy with them, I'll read and read so to prevent triangles and than I'll try a Custom stable ROM.

Please do you people even read this forum?? If i was you and read all the threads about bugs (eMMC) etc. etc. i wanted to wait a bit more. Ok, you just might get lucky (or not) and wipe the phone ten times but if you're not prepare to go to the store and claim your warranty !!!
Please read the topics about bugs on ICS.

(thanks??)
good to know that there is the OTA update now,
well if you feel uncomfortable you can always wait it out, i'm sure there will be more ICS updates and bugfixes

Gear Manager problems after KK update

Hi, after updated my Note 3 to 4.4.2, my Gear Manager is unstable, it hangs when I'm trying to enter settings or contacts, screen goes black and then i get a FC.
I have searched (like always) but haven't found any solution.
I have tried everything (clear data app, uninstalled GM, wipe my both Gears, nothing changed)
I have made a clean flash of KK on my Note 3.
I have also downgraded GM to 1.5 from 1.6...
I have no more idea of what I can do now.
Fortunately, both Gears works as they should but this GM issues drive me crazy.
Gears are running last ML1 (stock, unroot)
Any help/advice is welcome.
Cheers, Ros

I have the same problem. I remember reading somewhere that you need to have 1.6 for it to work with Kitkat, but it constantly crashes when entering settings. However i'm not sure if 1.6 has been officially released yet? I'm pretty sure it wasn't when i installed it 2 days ago, so hopefully it will have been fixed when it's hopefully very soon officially released, can't imagine Samsung officially releasing obviously broken software.

i cannot view exchange mails anymore on the device since upgrade to kit kat and new GM
Sounds like it is best to either use old versions, or wait for official. 1.6 and ml1 are leaks
I have the same problem..what I do uninstall gm 1.6..download gm 1.5 at samsung store..reset the gear n not restoring the gear bakup..I have to reset it twice n reboot the phone then it all ok now..im using official poland KK with null 19 (ml1) on gear..

Stick to official 1.5 version, it is still solid stable, just a bit slow when connecting, wait Samsung release official 1.6, I believe they is some issue on it, that why still not yet get release. Current appear 1.6 is leak version.
By the way I am under MK7 official release for my GEAR ROM, not the leak ML21 as well.

Having seen the problems that KK has brought with it, there is no way I'm letting that software anywhere near my phone or gear. I realise there are those of you that simply MUST HAVE the latest updates, even before they are tested properly, but this update IS NOT READY yet. The differences between JB4.3 and KK 4.4 are so minimal, its just not worth the risk or download at this time. As the old saying goes...."if it ain't Broke........"!!!

I never regret updates to KitKat and it is official, it is the best ROM so far I use in Note 3. The smoothness is no way any 4.3 ROM can compare. Also this KitKat ROM is solid stable. I don't have GEAR connection or FC issue, if you look against all facing problem is cause of using leak ML1 GEAR ROM + Leak Gear Manager 1.6
The only issue at KitKat is SD card writable issue which can be simply fix and that actually not really Samsung problem but instead KitKat change the requirement, any apps that had that issue just need the dev updates it to fulfill KitKat requirement.
The counterfeit S View cover not working is not a bugs but obvious Samsung did to stop the counterfeit.

4.4.2+ For S4 Active

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a way to update my S4 Active to KitKat 4.4.2 or up.
I am currently on 4.2.2, rooted and I have CWM. Below is abit more information about my device:
Model: GT-I9295
BB: XXUAMF7
I am unable to use the OTA and Kies method to update so my last resort is to manually install it myself, the only problem is I can't find where to download the firmware that I need.
If anyone is able to point me in the direction of where it can be downloaded that would be great.
Thanks

You can get your stock android frimwares from either Samsung updates or sammobile(samfirmware).
cwm + root = the road is open for latest Android 4.4.4 AOSP
I've tried unofficial /experimental CM11 for some weeks and had some quirks with Bluetooth and camera. Switch to Carbon built July 29th and this has working BT car connection. The camera has more options for tuning.

Or do like most others and search for interesting projects in xda forum S4 Active Development or S4 Active Original Development.

Thanks for the info mate. Was really helpful!
I've also read that there are a fair few bugs still being worked out with the KitKat version. Like you said, with the camera app and BT ect..
I'm interested in downloading the "Carbon" version that you spoke about in your post. Is the link you provided the one that you downloaded? Have you noticed many bugs?
Thanks again!
Had a hickup with BT today. But that's the thing with most aosp build of latest kind. You never know what you gonna get.

That makes sense I guess.
Well I managed to download and flash an official 4.2.2 firmware to my phone. Unfortunately it seems like samsung haven't pushed out the 4.4.2 update for Australia yet.
They have pushed it out for New Zealand which is basically just around the corner, so it's odd why they wouldn't do it for Australia.
Do you know of any way to flash an official version of KitKat from another country, say the New Zealand version. What harm can it actually do?
Thanks

Downgrade to kitkat from lollipop

Hi
i can downgrade my note to kitkat from lollipop without any problems?
I made root in lollipop...
Thanks
Yes, just have to find your phones kk firmware and flash through Odin.
Sent from my SM-N910C using XDA Free mobile app
Ok
what the best stock version of kitkat to get the best battery life?
I install the israeli version and i get same battery life like lollipop
thanks
I would highly recommending installing the stock version of KitKat that is released for your country.
Yes, i've just done this myself. I got the phone last week, and in amongst all the other 9 million pop-ups that Samsung provide, I accidently pressed yes to upgrade to lollipop.
I ran it for a day and the lag was terrible, so I have now gone back to KitKat. As above, I just went for stock for my country. It seems a lot better now. Once they release another lollipop patch i'll update. It's a shame, as I still think my htc one m8 is slightly faster. It feels more responsive. Anyway, thats off topic.
As above, just use Odin. I'm new to modding Samsung devices really, but managed it easy enough following the various guides around.
Did you guys have to factory reset your device after the downgrade?
If so, does the Kies application backup function safe the application data (logged in accounts, safegames, application settings etc.) too?

OA2 Update

Does Anyone know anything bout this update? firmware OA2 for galaxy gear. im running tizen but my note 3 sent me this update..i havent taken the update cause i have no info about it nor i can find it online
Hi,
Just found this at Sammobile under the country Canada - am flashing now and will update
Am new to this so if you have specific questions please ask them
Thanks,
Sent from my GT-P3110 using Tapatalk
Okay,
so received my gear yesterday (purchased used off of ebay) and proceeded to update / upgrade to Tizen. Must have missed something while reading and preparing as I went directly with the OA2 update and the flash via odin got stuck at zimage and did nothing from there. Read a post specific to the issue, and proceeded to flash
1. Flash any region NE9, I used V700XXUCNE9 with Odin 3.10
2. Flash any region NF1, I used V700XXUCNF1 with Odin 3.10
The NE9 took three tries before Odin completed the update, then flashed NF1, and finally the OA2
All is working well, gear synced up with my S4 running a custom S6 port (lollipop 5.0.2) Albe95's custom rom
As noted, any questions - let me know
thanks,
is there any difference on OA2? are you still on Tizen?

I just double checked to be sure and the OA2 release is Tizen OS. Unfortunately, I really did not spend much time on Android when I received the watch. I had read that Tizen had better battery life, so just jumped in. Other than allowing the watch to set up after Odin Flash, flashed the next rom, etc.
OA2 release is smooth, phone synced with watch without issue. Samsung gear works, am just starting to look at apps, etc available from works - so will have to wait and see.
Realize I am a little late to the show - but, picked this up really cheap and it's working out of the box, so no complaints
Good luck
I'm on OA7 after today's update
I don't find the OA7 anywhere - anything new ?
