[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
Nice analogy er, maybe not...... Thing is, no one is forcing you to update/upgrade/tinker. An update message pops up from time to time on the device and you click ok and it installs. That is as simple as it gets. That's NOT what we are talking about here though. We are talking about folks getting their flossy in a twizzie because a newer version of the OS is available and it hasn't been pushed to their device yet.

I have never seen anything written anywhere on the terms and conditions of any device I have bought that states I am entitled to get any upgrade to OR should expect to be updated to the latest software. In fact, iirc it says that on occasion an update may, yes MAY become available for the device and to either follow the onscreen instructions or visit (insert website here) for instructions on how to update.

Now to get back to the point, peeps EXPECT TO GET THE LATEST UPDATE, but they don't want to follow the instructions to do it. These instructions are usually made as simple as 1-2-3 so that even the technologically challenged can follow them. Turns out they ain't simple enough for some though and then the moaning and bleating begins, followed by the blaming. My device is stuffed, Samsung is rubbish, this cheese toastie is mouldy etc, but you never hear anyone saying, aargh fecked it up but it was my fault, I was born with two left brains or life is like a box of chocolates lieutenant Dan!

Sorry for such a long post. But I hope it helps clear things a tad :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tweetatoo:
Your advices are sick my friend. For me, I did flash many firmwares of other regions onto my devices. But in the same time, good may be overwhelmed by bad things. These 1-2-3 steps were sometimes helpful and other times disasterous! For example, I have flashed many firmwares before on my Galaxy S i9003, Galaxy S II i9100, and my latest Galaxy S III.

For unknown reason, my Galaxy S III got bricked and went into a boot loop. It was not a noticed hardware failure neither it was a corrupt Odin package, but for some reason, a hidden hardware failure has become obvious following the flash. Samsung has reported that the motherboard was completely damaged and that unofficial firmware flashing of different CSCs was the cause. It could be also a manufacturing error. Whatever it is, I was lucky that Samsung did not void my warranty as it was rooted at that time with the flash counter > 0.

Besides, I have more than five Samsung Galaxy devices in the house, and they look to me as their software geek!! Whenever an update is released, I cannot say always to them yes, and let me flash things to you!!!!

Besides, why am I supposed to flash the German one? For the learning hub that does not work in my country? Or for Music and Video hubs that are also forbidden in my Country?! And why does Samsung have all these software variability? Why does not they make a united software with custom configurations based on country; like Apple?! Apple used to release the update worldwide with blocking un-allowed features based on country chosen!

I love to update using OTA; AS SIMPLE AS THAT, apart from all the BLA BLA BLA you have said!!!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HUYI:
no one is forcing you to upgrade, after all it's your tablet and you can do whatever you want, i am still on ICS and plan to stay that way for a while because i feel personally it's stable for me and works, i don't really care about new features i will hardly use, best thing is to root and then you can decide if you want to upgrade your tablet at a later date or not, the option is still there with odin.

i too also prefer uk firmware because some features that are on the uk firmware won't specifically be on the german firmware, different regions different features.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] legion1911:
Hehehe The biggest joke of all is that the UK version is INCLUDED into the German version. You just need to change csc and you have the UK firmware, not a firmware LIKE the uk firmware but THE UK firmware.

Some people just prefer to complain instead of moving a finger themselves.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dhd1802:
Just flashed premium bugs 4.1.2... not bad so far! Well woth the upgrade from ics unless you use the gallery, as that isn't fixed!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Riki1kenobi:
Then stop being a complainawhinger then and just wait for Samsung to deliver your update to you OTA. While you're waiting for it I'll continue to try and help people wanting to update to the latest version, with my sick, but helpful advice, :good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] NadMaj:
haha we need more people like you Riki1kenobi... some fun but helpful post... :laugh:

people should not get easily offended over some jokes the man was just trying to help... and as JJEgan said i also can't understand why so many xda members here are waiting for ota updates... i understand that xda is the place to look for all things android but really the 1st step you should do is not rely on kies and learn some odin and flashing..

but hell we're all in one community... there are always some whiners and whatever kind of people and that just adds to the fun of being here on xda..
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] skadebo:
I absolutely, totally agree with you. People see something new and they just WANT to update, because we are consumer whores.

However, I needed to update to fix the notorious PDF import problem in S-Note (as noted in first post in this thread). Basically, if I wanted to import PDFs from school into S-Note, S-Note would crash. This only happens to specific versions of the N8010 firmware (Canada being one of them).

I don't come looking for fights etc. as a lot of people do, I just speak (sometimes shout!) the truth.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] FloydF:
Different regions /countries have different legal requirements which I suspect is one of the big delays for some regions. If you want everything done for you (OTA) , be patient and stup reading forums lokking for the latest updateor you will never be happy.

Of course you could also encourage your government to remove some of the restrictions, but for that I think you will be waiting much longer! I for one am amazed the updates get out as quickly as they do, re-evaluating every rom in every country for legal issues has to be a very expensive nightmare. Samsung is a big international company, ignoring regional laws is not really an option.

I have lost my hope that New Zealand will be able to get JB Update. So now after reading many threads for months I am plunging into this forum to know how I can update my machine.

My tablet

Model Number

GT-N8000

Baseband version

N8000XXALI3

1. Please suggest me which firmware is going to be suitable for my tablet

2. If tomorrow NZ firmware is released and I be able to flash it manually will it be back to normal for OTA upgrades ?

Thanks

This will most likely seem like a noob question, but I can't just take the bootanimation.zip from a nexus 4 and manually install it on my phone, correct? I'd love to have the nexus 4 boot ani on my phone but can't find one specific to the S3.

Thanks in advance,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Well I'm pretty sure the process is the same. I would try it out myself since changing the boot animation incorrectly can't mess up your phone, but I havent gotten my S3 yet

But anyway, use the instructions from here to setup your new bootanimation (replacing his bootanimation.zip with the nexus 4 bootanimation.zip of course) and see if it works. Theoretically it should, because the bootanimation.zip is just a bunch of pictures essentially

Also, could you give the link to that bootanimation? I've been looking for a nice one for a bit :D Thanks in advance OP :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:
I don't think it will work because although the s3 has a boot animation.zip that's not how the s3 plays the boot loader it uses a different format its just there because its the way android is built plus there should be some size differences the s3 has a slightly bigger screen which should have some affect on it but hey I may be wrong but all I know is s3 uses a different boot animation format
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Screen size has nothing to do with it all that matters is resolution and file size needs to be within limits to be played.

OP as long as the resolution is correct you can use the custom animation method for the s3 to install it.

I like to break stuff! :D

As requested. I pushed to /system/media and fixed permissions. Can't promise your phone will be the exact same.

Also, I upped the Google splash screen from the Nexus phones, you'll still have the Samsung logo boot first. Use this thread to create a flashable zip http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1928751

My phone currently boots in this order:

Samsung Logo

Google Splash Screen

Nexus 4 Boot Animation

I assume no responsibility if anything happens to your phone. I didn't create any of this, so i'm not taking credit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jherrman03:
So I decided to make the jump from cm10.1 to paranoid android to try out the new pie feature. I finally figure out how to get it enabled and to work, but if I lock the screen and unlock 90% of the time it won't show back up unless I go to settings and then it decides to work again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jherrman03:
I found some info after searching but this does not work either.

HELP! MY PIE WONT SHOW UP AFTER I UNLOCK MY DEVICE, ITS NOT WORKING PROPERLY

Well, i suggest after unlocking the device, give it 2 or 3 seconds then try to use PIE i guarantee 99.9% It will work all the time =)

HELP I CANT USE THE BOTTOM PIE IT NEVER SHOWS UP!!!

Hmmm, as another lad had told me, always swipe up from the notification led place, and give it a good slow (ish) swipe up, and i garuntee 99.8% it will always work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MartianCeo:
It doesn't respond to just sliding your finger in one motion. If you make kind of a small L shape where pie should be then it works 100% of the time (at least for me it does) and give it a second to recognize the gesture. Remember your phone is touch screen and you control a lot with just a touch. Make sure you have good performance settings, that will also help load it faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashzoomerintrack:
Try LMT on any ROM till pie matures on paranoid android. It works good.

I've been looking at the Bobjgear Rugged case for the TF201 I just repaired. Looks really nice, similar to the Gumdrop case but vastly cheaper.. Has anyone used this case yet? I've contacted them to order one for myself, from the reviews I gather the case is excellent, provides great shock protection when dropped, and makes it feel beefy so you're not feeling like you're holding a piece of glass.

http://bobjgear.com/

Here's a link to it on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Transfo...0B04/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A3SQAI9BQY42F6
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Jgrimoldy:
Looks rugged as hell.

I picked up the Poetic Leather Keyboard Portfolio case from Amazon several months ago after replacing my LCD / digitizer. While not quite as ruggedly designed as the Bobjgear, it's sufficient to offer significant protection over having nothing at all and my Prime/Dock lives in my backpack when not being used (read: much potential for shock damage).

The Poetic case claims to be leather -- it seems to me to be more like sprayed-on vinyl. It cost less than $18usd.

I particularly like that the portfolio case comes apart into two pieces. If you want to disconnect your keyboard and take just the tab, this portfolio will do that. The part that connects the keyboard snaps off. You're left with a fold-over portfolio that's adequate.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nightpath:
Got my case, have my tablet screen fixed for the millionth time (cheap piece of easily breakable crap, what a horrid design).

Anyways, the case is NICE. I don't feel like I'm carrying a sheet of glass around now, it's easy and nice to hold, fixes VERY well and pads so nicely against bumps it's unbelievable.

Definitely a solid value.

WiFi Analyzer

MoboPlayer or MX Player

DropBox (worth signing up for -- 2GB is free -- no hassles, no unsolicited email from the DropBox folks)

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Dathen:
GMD Gesture Control - multi touch gestures on such big screen are simply awesome and makes multi tasking and launching apps much faster (and you can turn off status bar to get more space)

Wallpaper Wizardrii - wallpaper stays in one place with default launcher so I can use favorite wallpapers from PC

AdAway - for obvious reasons

CIFS Manager - mounting windows shares, so any app see them as regular directories (you don't have to copy movies for example)

Chrome - currently best browser for tablets imo

PC Monitor - turning off PC remotely.
