Develop Bugs

updates (not what you think)

Hello All,
I have been very lucky to acquire an LG GW910 phone which is now working very well.
My phone has OS version 7.0.7003.0 on it, but I have read that the phones that are currently available are running 7.0.7004. Does anyone know why my phone does not update to the latest version?
Will it receive the update that is expected at the beginning of 2011?
Thanks for your comments

when the phone is a retail (got it in a shop) one than you will get an update but when it is pre-retail(test phone/demo) then I don't know.

this may be a lil condescending but i don't mean it to be as sometimes the simple things get over looked (i know from personal experiences) have you checked that both tick boxes are ticked under the phone update tab in settings. I know the phone is supposed to check under wifi or when plugged in anyway but i wouldn't put my faith in this.

Hello,
Don't worry... I didn't take your comment badly... yes... both options are checked, and I have also asked the Zune client to check for updates.
The phone was won at one of the developers conferences, but I don't think that makes a difference does it? Why would a developer not receive the updates for their phone?
Oh well... when the update comes out, I am sure that I will then find out if I get it!!
If anyone can confirm if I will or will not get the update, your comments are much appreciated.
Regards.

My request for confirmation:
From the Pdf I got from WMPoweruser I read that updates on WP7 will not require any reinstallation, it will be seamless process - after update you get your phone at the same state it was before.
Anyone?

Anyone.........?

You're as in the dark as we are mate.
We're gonna have to wait and see what happens when the updates hit.

simple answer is that you'll see a bunch of posts when it's fixed, it's being actively worked on but it's not a simple fix

In very much layman's terms, can anyone explain how something like this gets broken? Why does it work in one version and then not in the next? Thanks!

Different phones use different settings and different servers. Different networks use totally different ways of handling messages.

that, and that code gets re-written, updated, etc.
something gets updated or fixed, and some other thing could break because of it... what I do know is that CM is a community project, with amazing devs, and they are dealing with cutting edge software. we gotta remember that 2.3.4 is only (officially) on two phones right now, the Nexus One and Nexus S, both Google phones.

Someone posted a fix on the nightlies thread: MMS Fix Here

L710VPLG8 OTA update (was wrongly called L710VPLG4)

L710VPLG4 update is announced.
- KI – Touch Wiz home has stopped
- Single picture MMS no longer displayed as slideshow
- Optimized LTE system selection
- Enhanced Smart Stay function
- Enhanced Voice recognition algorithm
- All-Share Cast (All-share accessory hub) support
- Music Hub support
- Security Fixes

EDIT: Sprint's first announcement got the version number wrong. The official OTA update is named L710VPLG8

thank you will check it out.

nothing for me yet; last update i received it 5 days after most received it

The most significant news in this update is this item:
- Optimized LTE system selection
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Apparently one cause of the negative experience in the first LTE rollout markets is that handsets had been programmed to downshift from LTE to EVDO at a threshold signal strength for LTE that was too high. So many users couldn't get an LTE connection or hold on to in. (See this article at S4GRU.)
The other big factor was skimpy tower coverage at the time of launch. The handset factor magnified this problem.

Any way we can download it via odin because it not showing up in my phone yet.

Wonder what Google features were removed in this "security" update.

But you are running a custom ROM. I see that build LG8 is floating around here.
LG4 is announced as an OTA update for stock.

no the zip my phone downloaded says its lg8....the file says 04646f9535b3.update_sph-L710_LG2_to_LG8.zip

If anyone is looking for the RDF from Sprint, you can find it here:
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SPH-L710/LG8.rdf
Looks like LG8 is real as there is an RDF page for it. I don't know who is and isn't familiar with these, but we used/found RDF pages for the Epic frequently around upgrade OS time. Most of them are test builds, but it shows a lot of information about that release.
For example, if you change the last part of the URL to LG4.rdf, you'll get a page too as that's a legit build from Sprint. However, if you change it to LG9.rdf you get nothing as that build doesn't exist.
I don't know exactly what the number means but L must be for 2012 and G is for July. I'm assuming the number stands for the build (not necessarily a specific date) of that month. So the first build in August would probably be LH1.
Since we don't have any OS updates on the horizon yet, these may not do much good, but once we start hearing more about Jelly Bean, we'll at least know when Sprint starts working on it.
And FWIW, it's formatted nicely when using IE but I know some browsers don't format those pages well at all. I'm forced to use IE at work, so it's a bummer for 99% of things.

Something is wrong. Maybe Sprint just botched the announcement. Let's hope they didn't actually foul up the OTA.
EDIT: Sprint rep online now says they are checking.

Heh, I saw that literally about two minutes after I posted that. I'm into the habit of not checking General often because it was such a mess before...looks like I need to start jumping in there more often now that the separated all the carriers out.

Sprints now says it is LG8 after all
Sprint just corrected their announcement "for date and version number.". It is LG8 after all.
Release notes seem the same:
- KI – Touch Wiz home has stopped
- Single picture MMS no longer displayed as slideshow
- Optimized LTE system selection
- Enhanced Smart Stay function
- Enhanced Voice recognition algorithm
- All-Share Cast (All-share accessory hub) support

When someone flashes this please post anything negative hat might have changed like Google taking away some functionality like they did in LG2 or if signal level, and download speed or something else is messed up.

One of the people from the sprint community site mentioned that their phone runs hotter after update. Anyone else notice that?

My phone got quite warm when running the update and rebooting, since it had to rebuild lots of stuff during the first boot. It seems fine now.

[Q] Getting Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on Verizon

So by now we all know that Jelly Bean 4.2 has been released and has already been pushed to a lot of Galaxy Nexus devices around the globe. Myself, like many others, have a Galaxy Nexus on the Verizon network. I'm just as eager as anyone to get the 4.2 update but I do realize it's going to be a while before Verizon officially has the 4.2 update for us. What are my options as of now and the near future? Are there any ROMs I can use with the Verizon network and run 4.2? I'm currently running 4.1.1 JRO03O, so would I have to find a way to update to 4.1.2 before I could update to 4.2? Also, if I am able to find a ROM that will get me to 4.2, what features do I have to worry about losing? Many features of my phone I hold close, so I'd like full disclosure on which features could be compromised. I really appreciate your time for helping me!
Also, please be as detailed as possible with your responses - I imagine there are many others that view the forums like myself, looking for the answers to these questions without having to read through multiple 100+ page threads, finding answers bit by bit. A lot of people are running stock JB 4.1.1 on VZW network like myself and could benefit from these answers. Thanks so much guys!

go check the verizon dev forum. thats your best bet.

You could just flash the 4.1.2 Takju firmware then wait a couple of hours and recieve it, thats what I did and I recieved it within 2 hours if you are really impatient.

I appreciate the simplicity if your answers, but I've been in the Verizon dev forum for a while now. I continue to read through thread after thread, but I want definitive answers. Please link me to the threads in the Verizon dev forum of ROMs that would work for me please. I created this thread so that others who were in the same situation as me could find the answers they need quickly, without having to browse through the verizon dev forum for hours and still feel unsure about flashing a rom. Again, if you don't mind, just link me to some of the threads you feel are important in relation to my situation. I'm more than happy to read through the thread, every single page. I just want to have a little assurance in the ROM I'm loading onto my Nexus. I need to make sure I don't need to run a 4.1.2 ROM first or if I can go straight from 4.1.1 to 4.2. etc etc Thanks guys

so you want to be spoonfed because you cannot read the title of the threads?
if you're replacing the system (which you are if you're flashing a rom) it doesnt matter what version you were on.

there are a couple 4.2 ROMs out already. they are all a little finnicky. my suggestion is to wait a couple days for the bugs to be worked out. as far as i know, some of the things not working last i checked was.
google location, go Google Now isn't working
photosphere was crashing in the gallery (although i was able to use it just now)
swype typing was not working (i have a 4.2 transformation package that i flashed and got it working)
overall, it is pretty stable with very few issues.
as for features missing from what you currently have or want, i dont know. its just Stock android 4.2 for right now.
lock screen widgets
photosphere
quick settings
new clock app
new Google apps (calendar, gmail with pinch to zoom ect)
its all there.

Flash CM10, it has a built in update checker so you will be good to go when they drop a 4.2 nightly.

Thanks for all the information! I guess I'll wait a week or so and see which ROM is out at that point and has the best reviews for stability and functionality. And yes, I can read the thread titles... but when you click on thread after thread and they were all started MONTHS ago, they aren't much help for an update that came out days ago. And also, none of the thread titles say anything about 4.2... sure, they say JB, but JB is 4.1.1, 4.1.2 and 4.2 so that doesn't help much either. That's why I asked. Also because in the VZW development forum it says DONT ASK QUESTIONS so... where else would I go? Isn't that the point of a Q&A forum? To answer questions and not go around being a smart ** to people just looking for help? Like seriously?

[Q] To Root or Not to Root: that is the question ;)

First off I am a very experienced modder but what I really want to know is ?
Being in Canada with a Tmobile model will I even get OTA from a different carrier?
When I use Kies to return to factory can I claim for all intents and purposes that it's a 1:1? Or can files, spyware and odd files find there way into areas like preload, efs or other ?
I don't like the look of stock 4.2.2 and miss my cyanogen mod tools...
But Does bluetooth and speaker phone get messed on the s4 with cyanogen mod and all the dev's roms? like it does with SO many other phones ?
And since I pointed that out is there some other weird anomaly that us rooters need be aware of ?
Please respond quick im getting board with stock and your answers could be my freedom :fingers-crossed:
I wont forget to thank those who can help my tough questions..

Yes you can go back to stock.

Those questions you are referring to which are unanswered are simply yet to be found.
So perhaps it might be a good idea to post a lot of answers instead of so many questions! LOL

Why the heck do they have a Q and A section if people just sit around and tell other people that unanswered questions are a problem :
Wish people would just add info where requested instead of clogging the thread.... GEEZ people simple questions here :
1) IS THERE A BLUETOOTH/SPEAKER PHONE ECHO in MODDED ROMS WITH THE S4 ?
2) will other carriers transmit the OTA upgrades ? Have they in the past ?
3) After root is there a way to insure 1:1 return of all data to EFS, PREBOOT or other areas that would suggest for some unrooted is better...
-----------------------------------
Gotta love the answers so far first response don't ask questions search endlessly, and the second is simply don't submit unanswered questions to Q and A !!!!
HAHA
is there a way to delete sloppy posts ?

The s4 phones have good compatibility so far. Except once you start getting into 4.3 roms, for now, wifi glitches occur.
As far as who gets which updates, i dont think anyone knows yet since it's only been 6 months there is no reliable history to tell. I'm sure you'll get some update but it's not going to be timely and it's not going be frequent.. at best ~4 times for the life of the phone. I say fly solo.
About returning the phone, the only thing u have to worry about is the "knox counter" which isn't included in most roms.

Wifi just doesnt work. Some people did somethings to have some functionality... but it's not something you want to mess with
You should stick with 4.2 for a couple more weeks until tmobile releases 4.3, then it will be really solid.
As far as OTA, i dont really know because i dont use them. And your case is so rare that i think you shouldnt count on it. Why do you want ota anyways you can flash a new stock ota freely. Those are prominently available on here.

Is this wifi bug on all 4.3 4.4 roms or are there some working ?
That is a MAJOR glitch BTW I don't think I will Root : which brings me to the second answer I want to stay stock because with no 4.3 (with wifi) what incentive is there to even root ?
Can I use Kies to update without the need of a OTA update once available ?

You have to check for the OTA manually through your settings. If you are on a custom rom or kernel, it won't allow you to update. In that case, you simply Odin back to stock and then go into settings and update. This time the OTA will work.
EDIT: Rooting won't cause problems with your WiFi... It's an inherit ROM bug. Stick with 4.2.2 and just root.

Just root. You can go back to stock and many cm Roms and aokp work perfect. You can always find what's best for you and sounds like you want to root anyways.

Well right now wifi breaks for everyone but 4.3 is coming to us (the usa tmobile customers) in a week, so you will be able to flash it and have working wifi.
Why wouldnt you root? There is no downside even if u dont want to flash roms. You can have root on ur stock rom and do hundreds of new things. Greenify, xposed, wallet, backups, call recording...
