http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17396

Model: GT-I9500

Country: Trinidad and Tobago

Version: Android 4.2.2

Changelist: 1107849

Build date: Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:50:27 +0000

Product Code: TTT

PDA: I9500UBUBMG9

CSC: I9500UUBBMG9

MODEM: I9500UBUBMG9

maybe someone can upload to somewhere other than hotfile, google drive maybe
[Galaxy S 4 General] unandroidemas:
yesterday I installed BMG9 from BMF3 and I do not notice any improvements and I think battery performance was better in BMF3, I'll try it more days. :confused:

I'm from Costa Rica.
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
did you get the ota or you downloaded it from sammobile,?
[Galaxy S 4 General] unandroidemas:
you can download from samsung-updates.com

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9500

---------- Post added at 07:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:43 PM ----------

I dont have patience to waiting an ota, I did it via ODIN.

Good luck :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
actually i cant, i seem to be unable to download from hotfile or uploaded. to maybe if it was uploaded somewhere else

can i ask you a favor? could you upload it to google drive or dropbox or anywhere? i want to try this rom as TTT firmware seems to work better for me but i cant download it for some reason
[Galaxy S 4 General] unandroidemas:
Ok. Let me try.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tclocki:
Looking at samsung updates I didnt know that the i9500 got the mg5 firmware too. I'm downloading the mg9 now. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] unandroidemas:
I am uploading the file to dropbox & drive, once it loaded I will inform you.
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
thanks man
[Galaxy S 4 General] plasmastate:
Mg9 is older than mg5 indian. It doesn't make sense but believe me when i say this. The only thing we should be concerned about is the changelist, which is significantly higher than mg9.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tclocki:
I see, I'm on MG1 currently. I just find it weird though that the mg9 would have a higher changelist than the mg5 if its older... I'm about to finish downloading the mg9, has anyone else tried this? I'm loving the mg1 really, I think its the best I've used so far. Don't want to update only to find out its not that good. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Zoddex:
I got it over kies. From Costa Rica too
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
i cant use kies for sone reason, my csc was TPA when i bought the phone but when i flashed TTT software i thought it would change but its still TPA and kies throws an unsupported message at me
[Galaxy S 4 General] tclocki:
I think it would be better if you use Odin. You'll need to download the entire firmware though, its 1.5 gb...
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
yep it wouldnt be an issue if the firmwares weren't always uploaded to Hotfile, man hotfile sucks
[Galaxy S 4 General] tclocki:
No one has tried this out yet? I'm just charging my phone and I'll flash it in a few. I wish I could upload it somewhere else but my dsl connection is as slow as hell in uploading, it will take forever to finish this.

BTW - I'm just new to android, so I'm just wondering, if I flash this mg9 firmware in odin, if I wish to go back to mg1, can I flash it back in Odin? Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Zoddex:
I know they should use mega
[Galaxy S 4 General] BLueBLaze100:
Will flash right away when downloading finishes.

Will see what's new:D

[Galaxy S 4 General] tclocki:
I did three antutut runs and got consistent 28k+ scores. Mg1 bangladesh before would dip to 27k at times.

Overall performance feels pretty much the same with bangladesh mg1 firmware. I disabled a few crappy apps that came with it too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] unandroidemas:
Hope you can download, good luck!!!

[Galaxy S 4 General] amagdy81:
Well I belive the MG1 is better regarding the battery life than the MG9. I have tried both and I think I'll go back to MG1. Also by release date the MG5 is newer than MG9
[Galaxy S 4 General] Gillion:
We dont know enough about what is in the changelist from the Samsung point of view.

We are just guessing... and feeling.

Higher changelist number may be rolled back or carried forward in favour of region development.

We simply do not know enough to concretely say higher changelist number is better all around.

Just assumptions.
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
thanks man, owe you one
[Galaxy S 4 General] tclocki:
Ok so for some reason after I flashed this fw, I can no longer use older firmwares, even the supposedly, newer one, mg5. If I flash those in odin, my imei gets messed up to the generic 0049 something. Thoughts why this is happening?
[Galaxy S 4 General] RTudoRR:
It's not just this one mate , it happens on most of them...
[Galaxy S 4 General] dave106:
After you flash a new csc, you need to hard reset to change it on device, AFAIK it's the only way to do it.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Amivieu:
I have received an ota I9500XXUBMG9 .

I want to know what the change?
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
I believe, chagelist has no direct relation to how many bugs has been fixed. Those who used git, could see something like "2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-)" after each commit. Probably, changelist is just accumulated value of these changes.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tclocki:
I have the MG9 firmware and I noticed night mode shots are taking a little slower to focus.
[Galaxy S 4 General] HSNP:
MG5 compiled at july 18 with higher changelist.

MG9 compiled at july 11 with lower changelist.

It made me confused, I already downloaded MG5 but still not sure to install which one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jlevy73:
I'm sticking with the theory that higher changelist equals newest build. As [MENTION=4273882]Gillion[/MENTION] said there isn't any real concrete proof to how Sammy does this but that's been the convention I've been following since my S2. I haven't tried MG9 but MG5 has been excellent (combined with Perseus kernel).
[Galaxy S 4 General] trc13:
I have installed bmg9 version and it messed up with IMEI. I can't install other modem than bmg9, otherwise it changes my IMEI to a generic one... :crying:
[Galaxy S 4 General] negrobembon:
by hard reset, do you mean a factory reset?
[Galaxy S 4 General] tclocki:
I've experienced that too. I thought for a moment my phone was a goner when that happened to me.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ensain:
Network Lock?

Still new to this, so please bear with me. I have searched but could not find answer to this question. Do I need to sim unlock the phone (carrier/network unlock) before flashing firmware from different region using odin?
[Galaxy S 4 General] dave106:
Yeah that's it. I'm still using Windows Mobile terminology lol

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ethan_hines:
I have looked everywhere for a definitive guide to how to partition the internal sd card of the Nexus S for use with Link2SD to increase the internal memory. I have tried mounting the sdcard in recovery and then partitioning with Gparted. I have tried using ADB shell in recovery and typing

parted /dev/block/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/by-name/media

and creating 3 partitions (9GB fat32, 4GB ext2, 32MB linux-swap) that didn't work. I tried downloading an app called SDCARD partition tool which didn't work because it advises to unmount the SDCARD first which is impossible to do in the o/s (even in terminal it says cannot unmount /sdcard device busy).

Please tell me how I can do this so I can get on to doing better things with my phone.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raducux:
I think linking applications to SD is not possible on internals that host the system too.

Never heard of someone trying or succeeding . but might be wrong.

Good luck and be careful not to mess up your phone.( internal storage )

did you succeed? or is there a workaround for app space apart from send to sd? (so that widgets work)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CScolamiero:
Ik this can irritate android users, but I was wonderijg if theres a rom that works like ios 7? I just think ios 7 looks beautiful, but I love androids functionality
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lycwolf:
Check the Themes and Apps section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Phobophobia:
It's possible to get an iOS-like theme (which probably won't look nearly as good as real iOS) and you can also get the iOS-style quick settings: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBQultq819M

If you want something to look and feel exactly like iOS, it'd probably be possible to make a theme that'd get pretty close, but I really doubt anyone's done it. There definitely isn't a ROM out there that's been modded to behave exactly like iOS does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] speedfreak228:
There is a ios 7 launcher in the apps section
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] slim6596:
There's also Espier Launcher (spelling?)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xsalemx:
Try MiHome launcher from MIUI in the play store. There's an iPhone theme for it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DLarva:
I set up the WatchOn app to control my devices. I can control them individually just fine. However, what I'd like is to hit a button for an activity, say watching a movie, and it automatically turns on the TV, sets its input to DVD, turns on my receiver, sets its input to DVD, and turns on the Blu Ray player.

Is this something this app does? If so, where do you access this? If not, why does it ask you for all the inputs on your TV and receiver?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Reinaldo33897:
Do you actually have a remote control that does all that with the press of one button? Cause I never seen one. I don't think that's possible with the phones WatchOn.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DLarva:
Yes, I do. It is a logitech harmony.

The reason why I thought it might is because WatchOn has you set the input types on your TV and receiver. If you have to turn each component on manually, then it has no idea what input you want the TV on, so you have to set that manually as well, so why ask for the input.

If it can't do this, it doesn't seem like much of a stretch of the imagination to add a "Watch TV" button which just runs through a step of button presses for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Reinaldo33897:
I dont know I think watchon is a joke. Samsungs way of saying hey I can turn your components on and off lol. But see if you can hit play on the blueray and it should put tv in blueray input. But then I think yoy manually have to get it back to tv mode.

I think its a nice app if you want to search for tv shows but really worthless to operate the whole system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nasapunk88:
Well 1 somewhat long way to do it is using the "Tasker" app. It can emulate virtual screen taps and bunch of other stuff.

Create a task from tasks tab.

Add Action -> App -> Load App -> WatchOn

Add Action -> Task -> Wait and set it to wait a few seconds for the app to load.

Add Action -> Script -> Run Shell and for command enter in "sleep 0.1; input tap 564 1856" where numbers are X,Y of your screen you want tapped.

- sleep X seconds is same as adding wait action. so you can change to whatever duration you want

- To determine X,Y values go in Settings->More ->Developer Options -> check Show Pointer Location.

- If its not there, to unlock the Dev Options menu, go to Settings -> About Device and scroll down to the "Build Number." Tap on your "Build Number" 7 times.

Keep adding actions for tapping all the WatchOn buttons you need (switch to remote view, load the correct room/tv etc).

Then just throw a tasker widget on ur screen and you have ur 1 button that auto does everything you want; after like 10 secs of running lol, sadly not instant. :D

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] thedam:
Hey all,

I have read hundreds of posts but modt of them are for the PDA2K and XDAIII. I know these are the same models but I am oblivious to whether or not I need a ROM specific to my Sprint phone. I also could use a quick brush up on what exactly I need to instal this. Pardon my ignorance I am just scared to fry my new phone. Thank you in advance for going easy on me :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] TheLastOne:
The Sprint 6600 is a different phone than the I-Mate PDA2k/XDA IIs. The PDA2k and XDAIIs are Blue Angels (GSM Radio) and yours is a Harrier (CDMA radio) which is the same as a PDA2k EVDO.

For more info on the differences, check out wiki:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_For_Beginners

Unfortunately, I know little about the CDMA version of the phone, but I would assume you can use another carrier's upgrade the same way you can on a GSM version. If so, the latest Rom version would be i-mate's 2.03.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] thedam:

Thank you I've been wondering this for a while. Will it still run in 1080p on our computers? I'm hoping it will downscale to 720p so it won't get my GPU too hot.
[Shield Q&A] agrabren:
The game switches to 720p so it can have better settings than if it were driving a higher resolution.
[Shield Q&A] Deleted member 5103593:
Perfect! So should I also install GeForce Experience so that non-Steam games will work as well?
[Shield Q&A] glitchhawk:
if my understanding is correct you will need GFE for streaming no matter what. however non-steam games should just be added to steam if im understanding agrabren correctly. they just have to be able to run in full screen.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] jfail:
I don't use my A700 all that much but I have noticed recently that none of my downloaded apps from the play store are automatically updating as they used to do. I have done a search of the internet and found others that have had a similar problem but none of the fixes have worked for me.

I am using Adroid 4.1.1, kernel version 3.1.10+ and build number Acer_AV051_A700_1.052.00_PA_CUS1. I have checked for updates but the tablet says none are available.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
First off, I moved your post to Q & A forum. :D

As with your issue, going to Settings and checking for updates, is only for the Operating System, Not for apps.

Several changes to the Play Store in updating things. You can open your Play Store (old Market) and select your Installed Apps icon. This will tell you what apps need updated, and you can d it from there (best to have a good Wifi connection as I think you have many updates).

As with Auto-Updating, I believe each app you have installed has this available as an option. Normally, I select it when I install an app from the Play Store. So check your Play store options.

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] jfail:
Thanks MD

I guess that is where the problem lies. I go to Play Store but I cannot find a Installed Apps icon.

I went to settings and see "Auto-update apps" under the General category does not have a check mark next to it. I tapped it and made sure that "Auto-update apps at any time. Data charges may apply" is checked. Still no updates.

Thanks for your help
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] EndOfDays-Wildfire:
I´m not quite sure but I think I have a similar problem: Each time I want to install/update an app I have to kill all Google tasks in settings. I am on stock 4.1.1 rooted.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
With Play Store, select the "down arrow" in the upper right corner. This takes you to "installed apps" and "All apps you have downloaded. Go to Installed Apps, and you can manually update them. Also, if you select an app, you can select auto updating. :good:

MD
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
Don't have an answer for that one. However, you can kill the auto sync in quick settings rather than going directly into settings.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] jfail:
Thanks MD, that helped things along. I completely missed the "INSTALLED" at the top of the screen which does not surprise me in my advanced age.

Autoupdate is enabled for all of my apps but I still don't see the downloading being displayed in the lower right corner as I used to see in the past and a notification that an update for an app had completed. Maybe I am being impatient.

Thanks again for your help.

[Android General] simmer14:
here is the thing... if you will install the rom again flash the rom again then ur phone will register the imei again to their server.. they will know about it anyway..

and btw service centre guys does not check weather the phone is rooted or not they just flash the rom and give back the phone...

This is a very good info, even I noticed an app called xolo root but could not figure out how to use it. Will definitely add link to this thread. But as har**** says below see my comments,

Well, thats right har****, I agree with u. We root by a method using universal android then xolo doesnt know about it and we can unroot. Once the xolo care app is frozen (using root) then there is no worry, we can unroot and claim warranty. As far as installing a new rom is concerned, (after we get working cwm) xolo would not know as there wont be a xolo care app. ;)

please add a warning that the warranty will be revoked/lapsed and cannot be restored.
