[Int'l version] OTA update

slatyford · July 6th, 2012, 04:00 AM

Just had an OTA update but still running 4.04 first thing I've noticed is the sumertime notification has changed from a sun with 1 in to a clock. Will see what else has canged as and when

DaddyCee · July 6th, 2012, 04:02 AM

yep in the process of the upgrade taking place on my handset. said that the download was 70MB or so.

davoid · July 6th, 2012, 04:17 AM

has the update by any chance fixed the home button redraw lag?

rjtim · July 6th, 2012, 04:22 AM

Just downloaded. First thing I've noticed is brightness control in notification dropdown, plus a few extra sound icons in the device options menu, silent, vibrate, normal.

On 3 UK unbranded

MisterEz · July 6th, 2012, 04:35 AM

Yep - just got this too... UK O2 network.

When you long hold the power button to bring up the "Device Options" screen, there are a few new icons at the bottom to toggle between sound options... sound off, vibrate, & sound on.

bigyid · July 6th, 2012, 04:35 AM

Still waiting for update on O2

MisterEz · July 6th, 2012, 04:45 AM

The separate brightness level for the default browser has been removed, and renamed "Colours". The brightness level of the browser is now linked to the level of the phone in general...

NineToTheSky · July 6th, 2012, 04:50 AM

This is beginning to look like a fairly big upgrade.. It's good to see Samsung looking after us.

July 6th, 2012, 04:56 AM

Also when in a call, a little speaker (called extra volume) appears over the contact photo

MisterEz · July 6th, 2012, 04:58 AM

The AccuWeather widget is now updating with my correct location automatically...
And the "1" in the sun has gone. Now it's a clock/sun symbol.

July 6th, 2012, 05:02 AM

email conversation view has been update with titles for the conversations...

XplosiV · July 6th, 2012, 05:04 AM

Also available on T-mobile UK.

72.68mb update, downloaded in 4 minutes.

Latest version i9300XXLFB

Any way a mod could sticky, or maybe do some kind of banner, to announce firmware updates and if they are international / USA etc, to raise awareness?

umeshdhingra · July 6th, 2012, 05:32 AM

Just finished downloading here in Delhi,India .thks to Samsung for giving us two updates in last fortnight.cheers

MisterEz · July 6th, 2012, 05:37 AM

Don't want to jinx myself, but I haven't been able to force the browser close/redraw problem so far... early days though, too soon to tell if it's been fixed.

sherlock5545 · July 6th, 2012, 05:41 AM

Nothing on mine yet, I'm unbranded. Anyway, I'll check up for an update via Odin, as I am rooted.

greggebhardt · July 6th, 2012, 05:43 AM

OS updates are what iPhone users brag about having over other phone makers, all the time. Samsung is showing them that they can do it too. The S3 is a new device and will likely be getting more updates as needed to fix any glitches and even add features.

DaddyCee · July 6th, 2012, 05:46 AM

new icon in the camera that allows you to select balck & white, negative or none for your shots. Oh and other settings as well if you scroll that list. Whoppeeeee!!!

jimbo1mcm · July 6th, 2012, 05:55 AM

I think Samsung knows it has a winner. If this is any sign, Jelly Bean will be coming sooner rather than later. They want to seize and keep the lead before the Iphone 5 comes out in the fall. Way to go Samsung.

P.S. Verizon: Don't screw up this update by holding it forever.

July 6th, 2012, 06:04 AM

Additional digital clock widget

antoeknee · July 6th, 2012, 06:08 AM

No updates on Orange yet. In fact can't find the option to check for OTA updates. IIRC in the past it was under about device.

I seem to remember reading a thread here about some Orange branded phones having the update option removed... is it a new phone?

[edit]

Here's the thread... Orange Firmware.!
People were either sending them back to Orange to be replaced, or flashing the phone with a stock non-orange firmware.

sherlock5545 · July 6th, 2012, 06:20 AM

Any unbranded users, can you tell me the build number you have after this update?

jerofld · July 6th, 2012, 06:22 AM

Please note what carrier/variant you have when reporting OTAs. Remember, we have the International version as well as the 7 or so North American carriers that will probably have different OTA schedules.

It's pretty safe to assume that this is for the Int'l variant, however.

sherlock5545 · July 6th, 2012, 07:02 AM

Great, thanks. I'll do it this evening. Is it possible to Flash using Odin Mobile?

Three6ty · July 6th, 2012, 07:28 AM

Think I am going to flash my phone with the official samsung software. My phone is from 3 uk and as far as I know I still have not even got the last update, let alone this one

I believe it is, and doing so you can even retain root while you flash it.

andy-roid · July 6th, 2012, 08:02 AM

Make sure your phones fully charged or updates won't even be attempted.

Might be the problem then as i have 29% battery but even with it charging on computer an kies on it still says im on latest firmware

Ive noticed i get the software notification the 2 arrows top left and notification says software update every no and again like its checking

sherlock5545 · July 6th, 2012, 09:39 AM

XplosiV, benchmark results may vary frequently, try running the test again and you might get a lower score, or vice-versa.
