Could be preparation for ICS, Although that is just a guess.
Anytime i see anything about an update i just keep thinking it's ICS!!
Can't wait for it.

probably the one hand keyboard update

So XLA4 is the big update they're pushing out to everyone?
I was wondering what it was.

Yep, same here ... Mine's an unbranded, unlocked UK note (XEU) and I'm getting nothing through Kies or manual update on the phone. Still on KKA.

I'm in the UK and got the OTA update yesterday. I'm running a German unlocked Note from Expansys UK. Cant see any differences though tbh. :/

I think that was already in KL7, the previous official update for German Notes...
Anybody noticed anything new with respect to the KL7?

Info about the update
Hello guys!
I bought my Galaxy Note in France (I work there).
The PDA/PHONE/CSC are XXKKA/XXKK5/XXKK5.
Build info is Friday 11 Nov...
How is it possible to receive official updates (stock roms) without flashing?
Please do not start telling me to read guides and so on... I worked on Android platform and after this experience I am aware how preparing roms and custom stuff is obviously a great challenge, gives you great satisfaction, but makes the phone be more prone to crashes, memory leaks and so on.
Thank you in advance.

update
No update for slovakia, orange. just waiting for ICS

patient is a virtue tow weeks. when i bought my xoom, after 6 mounts of delays my daily routine was check for updates , not any more..

how far is Germany from you , just drive there and see if you will get the update

I'm sure you were joking but this actually does raise a point that people should take into consideration:
If the phone is bought from the UK but the firmware is German, then it will get German upgrades. If it's bought from amazon.de and has Chinese firmware then it will only get Asian upgrades.
It doesn't matter where you buy the phone from, it matters what country the firmware is directed at. I also own a UK note which has BRI as the sales code and I don't have any update even though I live in Finland.

Really funny... If it was only a matter of geographical location just a dns static route would fix the trouble of getting updates...

XXLRK Firmware (Germany) out

This firmware was just posted on the Sammobile website. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it a 4.0.4 update to the LRG firmware or 4.1?
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=5602

I think is an 4.0.4 update.

Downloading, will test it right away. Thanks

Just got the update via OTA in Germany (unbranded, german note)
But I can't install it because my battery is dead
Can anyone test if they removed the unified search, like they did on the sgs3 and gn?

Added the "Quick Search Bar" to my homescreen. When I press it nothing happens (well, Google text turns green on-finger-down). No keyboard shows up. The voice input directs me to google.com (when saying facebook)

We are talking about the google search widget, right?
You can also long-press the settings key.

Tested myself :banghead:

XXLRK is still 4.0.4
Downloaded XXLRK today on my german gt-n7000 in India. Still 404

The changelog for XXLRK
The large 24MB OTA update does not change the version of Android, but the Galaxy brings touch to firmware version XXLRK and the performance of the Galaxy increases note. The search will remain intact! But there is a slightly modified keyboard with large distances and significantly improved writing comfort

Will this OTA kill root access? or should I rather use Mobile Odin?

I did the OTA update altho i did see it in the samfirmware website as well .. i wonder, could this update also fix the brickbug samsung said would fix ? Altho i suspect they would make a big fuss about the update if this was the one which fixed the brickbug, eh ?

I have it. Its 4.0.4
However i want to root with cwm is there a cf kernel for xxlrk?

Anyone noticed in XXLRK, power_profile.xml is mentioning battery capacity as 1650 instead of actual value 2500? decompiled framework-res.apk and under res>xml you can find this file. I don't know if battery usage calculation can give bad result because of this? or is it ok? Anyone with advanced knowledge pls.

Asian 4.04 Update
Most of Asia received the update to 4.04 in the last few days. I am in Thailand but there was no OTA update but the update was on Kies. Since updating I am still wondering what it was supposed to do as I cannot see any obvious changes except that I have lost root. I thought it might be an update to keep us safe from the brickbug but who knows? Anyone able to shed any light on what the update is for?

I use the Thai stock ICS 4.0.4 but I don't think there are differences, but this is only a regional 4.0.4 update.
And I didn't see any post here describing something new in these end-of-july-stock-ROMs.
I kept root the long way (coming from GB rooted, and installing the new version with Mobile Odin Pro, adding Notecore 13 later).
When you switch to a safe kernel you do not have to hope for an official safe update anymore.

Jelly bean upgrade over air

I keep pressing upgrade but I don't get the upgrade option. Has some networks not released it yet or is there another way to do it?

From what I understand it is a very small release at moment not a full release, GB retail hasn't even been released at all, what version are you running? Most if the OTA files have been uploaded if you check the sticky, but like I said if your GB retail it has yet to be released. Hopefully it will be a full fledge release by end of week.

Thanks for the reply. Running 81.5.31002.xt890.orange.en.gb
Does that mean I'm on retail?

No you have Orange GB , if you go here: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028814 , you can find the OTA file for your phone and how to install, it's relatively simple.

Please find attached screenshot. Although the update seems to be completed, I've got major problem, which never occured before. As soon I try to enable any radio (gsm, wifi), the phone freaks out and starts popping messages with frequency 1/sec what disable any use of the phone. the messages are: the process.com.android.phone has stopped and regarding disability of phone and messaging functions. The phone is unlocked and unrooted. Can anybody advise me? Shall I perform factory reset, would it help? Thanks.

Here is mine too
I'm not having any issue since the update. Well, two minor ones: my sim code was not recognised anymore. A reboot solved this. And the other one is that some settings like vibrate when typing are back to default.
ROM is smooth! But I still need to test for a while...
EDIT: here is the content of my default.prop
Code:
#

Mine appeared yesterday (6th Feb) late afternoon, I downloaded it at home ~9pm through Wifi.
No issues at all other than a few minor resets as mentioned, such as vibrate when inputting text, but nothing major.

S4 Security Policy Update

Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Hi I have just started to get a message in my notification bar saying I need to do a security policy update. However when I try to do this it tells me that it cannot due to network issues.
Can anyone tell me what is going on here and how to fix it?
I'm using an S4 unbranded on the 3 network.

same issue here, unbranded on o2

im on an unbranded i9505 on o2 and it will not install for me eithr
I just get a network error message.
I believe its a Samsung servr error, so just try again later

Same here. Is this agreeing to knox? Not sure I want to accept?

Well at least I'm not the only one experiencing this. Hopefully we can get it sorted soon.

Same issue here. I'm unbranded on T-mobile. Not sure if it's a Samsung problem or an issue with another app. I've seen on other forums that people have had this issue before and it's always been related to another app causing Knox to get over-protective.
---------- Post added at 02:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:21 PM ----------
Just out of interest, have any of you guys rooted or installed ROMs via Odin at all? I'm wondering if Knox is blocking the update due to the Knox-warranty-void flag. I've unrooted but still seeing the issue.

Same issue, stock unrooted on Vodafone.

It happened the same to me when I tried to install the new .apk of Wallet app. KNOX SUCKS!
Regards,
Urko

Have same issue today on my i9505 unlocked on O2 - prompted to install but times out with network error. I have to press cancel to do anything with the phone.
Stock firmware all delivered OTA in case anyone asks.

Well It's just plain old stock firmware that I'm using. Though I don't have any app called knox.

Knox isn't an app. Its security features that Samsung are building in to their ROMs now.

I have flashed to BTU (from EVR) and it just popped up. Annoying that it doesnt install.

Ok how does that work then?

Ok I'm attempting to ask samsung directly via twitter @samsunguk and @Samsungmobileuk. There are others also in the UK asking them on twitter too!

im not seeing a lot of talk about this error message
for some reason, I thought it would of been a massive conversation today but doesnl look like many have this issue, but Samsung have not even said anything about it

their is no talk of this update anywhere,
which I find is strange to be honest, I thought it would of been a massive thing today, but teir is nothing
all us people having problems and their no help, nobody seems to know what the update is for or what it is, Samsung isn't replying to anybody

Security policy update just started to show on mine aswell :/ totally stock simfree updated using Kies other week.
