Just now i join Android forum but i am not getting where is and how to write a new thread ?

welcome to AF...

to start a new thread..
you have to be outside a discussion thread.. where you can see a list of threads.
there look for a button "new thread".. this button is right above the list of threads, to the left side.

where do i look for the update?

Checked via the Firmware and Samsung software update buttons (under System Update). Nothing........

Wild question... The fact that I'm rooted (no custom rom) should not be a problem?

Lateck,

It will notifiy you automatically when pushed. But it is the samsung update if you want to check.

Lateck,

On xda everyone with root and a custom recovery it failed every time

I don't think the root is the problem. This issue is the custom recovery. The recovery will keep an OTA from installing.

I'm not rooted and I have not received the update as of yet. Hopefully soon! I can't wait to try it!

Thanks, I do not have a custom recovery.
I believe QBking77,did say that.

[DinoV]

Mosthated30, you have to turn off connection optmizer.
Settings / more settings / mobile networks / connections optimizer. Un check

Thanks for the link to the video DinoV, I just installed the update, and now my phone's restarting. ^_^

You don't have to wait. Doing the update manually is extremely easy. I came across it (youtube) almost as soon as he (qbking77) got it up. No way I'd wait for OTA when it's right here in front of me.

 

[DinoV]

Cool Bamhm182. Let us know how it goes.

 

[mosthated30]

ok ill do it thanks

 

[mosthated30]

i am not bright when comes to hooking up my pc to phone so ill have to wait till the otc hits my phone. CRAP!!!

 

[DinoV]

mosthated30, better safe than sorry. afew days wont be too tough. Just wait.

 

[ScandaLeX]

I know I said the manual update is extremely easy; which it is, but for anyone who is not comfortable or feels like they'll mess something up.....don't do it. Wait for the OTA. After all, we got this far.

Besides.....I'M NOT REPLACING ANYONE NOTES ......No really.....I'M NOT

Just wanted to say that I updated this way and it worked perfectly.

 

[Derp Droid]

Got it this morning. VERRRRYYYY Cool!

 

[ren857]

UGH!!! I'm trying to be patient and wait for it...

I too tried, but I was Rooted and I did delete a few programs that the update needed.....
So I had to return to stock and then update....
(Now I'll have to wait for a new root for this update)
But, anyways, I like the new update!!!

Lateck,

Meh.

I have the multi-window on my International and it's pretty disappointing... not the functionality itself, but rather there's only a small subset of apps that can be used. The number of apps available is locked down to a small number of preinstalled apps and there's no way to add other apps to it.

Hopefully the number of apps and the ability to add Play Store apps to the multiwindow will happen over time, but right now it's pretty much more form over function, IMO.

Okay...I couldn't wait.

I installed the update and it's pure awesomeness.
