3.2 Update in Canada

Any one in Canada received the 3.2 update from Samsung or has it not been released here yet?

I haven't received it yet. Probably not out yet.

Yes, I have, I'm in Gatineau Quebec and it was there last week and again yesterday when I plug into Kies even if I'm on Task 6.1.

what firmware is the update? Android HC 3.2, but what firmware code specifically?
did you do the update or stay with Task?
Kies will not connect for me regardless of what I do -- I have given up on it and will flash using Odin and download using CheckFus or an uploaded firmware and so it would be nice to know what designation is being presented by Kies.

official response from Samsung Canada is that it has not bee released here yet and the 3 different CSR's I have spoken to do not know why it has not been released and when it will be.
Wonder if I use Tunnelbear switched to US and then connect Kies if it will pull the update from Samsung US?

And did you purchase your tab in Canada or the U.S.?
Update not available in kies or OTA here (just checked again)
In case it is not clear in my sig, my tab is stock non-rooted

Im on Task 6.1. I bought it new in the box from a gent from Ottawa and I could'nt tell you where its from as I installed a custom rom first thing when I got home. But all my info and registration including Kies points to Canada. I just assumed that like my Asus Transformer OTA were location based not firmware based. Sorry if this misled anyone.

Unfortunately Tunnel Bear did help get the update.

I am in Canada, and I put the US update on. What would the difference be for Canada?

How? Samsung Canada have not released it yet.

This is what I did, I rooted my tab, then installed the rom from post #115 of this :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346227&page=12
I also used the pit file on post #121 of the same thread
using odin. When I plugged in with Kies, it said an update was available.

Granted I purchased my dad's tab in the states, I was able to get the ota for it in Ontario two days ago. His is stock.

Just checked the box its model GTP7510UWR it had software version XXKG6. Inside everything was bilingual so it looks like it was a canadian model, however depending on the rom I had on it, kies may had seen it as a US model. Since I'm on Task 6.1 I don't get the update.

I'm also on a stock tab 10.1 in Ontario and haven't been able to get an update via kies or OTA. Just keep getting the "no update available" message when I check.

I'm following Samsung on twitter, who have said they will tweet when its released. I'd love to know there excuse for not releasing it yet, they'll probably claim the market is too small and therefore the distribution costs are too high......the usual bull**** we get up her for getting screwed over.

Is there something vastly different between the Canadian version and the US version? If not, I don't see why we should wait around until they release it in Canada...

That's why I upgraded

To what, being American? Some would consider that a downgrade!

I just flased the US KMM onto my Canadian version. No issues whatsoever and now I should get any future US updates instead of being stuck in the cold waiting for new Canadian versions.

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. :/

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...

Samsung is neglecting to update GT-N7100 to JellyBean 4.3

I read everywhere that the Note II was updated to Android version 4.3 - all the US carriers.
I own the international version, GT-N7100 (imported by newegg.com from UK). I purchase it because I didn't want to wait for the US carriers to procrastinate with their updates. I thought that having a version that Samsung directly updates will be more prompt.
Here we are, forth week of January 2014 and I still have version 4.1.2
I wonder why is Samsung not updating the GT-N7100 to version 4.3.
It's surprising to notice that not too many people complain....

I'm using international n7100 and mine was updated in December. It's releasing region by region. Hold in there brother

Well guys if you're in such a hurry to update (I completely understand - because I was too) then just flash with Odin. Download ROM for your country from Sam mobile and flash it! I did it couple of times because I couldn't wait for OTA (and OTAs wouldn't work anyway becasuse I was rooted)...

Yup me too. But I prefer to do it via kies. I go to sammobile and the moment I see my country formate available I connect my phone to pc and update via kies.

It's pretty much not in their business interests to give the latest updates to their phones. Otherwise people would not upgrade or change their devices every year.
"Need 4.4.2? Oh, you'll have to get a Note 3. sure, we'll give you updates in the future. Didn't say immediate future, Did we?"

finaly update 4.3

Note 4 SM-N910F Lollipop UK?

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone in the UK has received the Lollipop OTA or the update via Kies yet?
I am using a EE Note 4 with the BTU 4.4.4 stock rom (BTU CSC aswell). There hasn't been much news that I've seen since around early january about the Note 4 Lollipop update. If anyone has any input on this, it would be great to hear from you. As you can probably tell, I'm new to XDA. But I feel that the best people to speak to about this stuff are on here
P.S. I'm a techie, so any questions or things to talk about regarding this post I would be more than happy to discuss

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910F/
Check Sammobile for firmware... As of now a Vodafone UK lollipop update exists. You can flash it via Odin and will work fine with an EE handset.

Will it work on my unlocked o2 phone too

If its a 910F it should work.
Just to cover your ass, install TWRP, and make a full Nandroid backup.
First flash TWRP via ODIN and backup.
Then install the firmware.

As more and more branded and unbranded Note 4 receive lollipop around the world I find it very difficult to understand why the Note 4 which I bought from the official Samsung Website last November has not received the update.
Has anyone in the UK received the official lollipop update OTA for the unbranded Note 4?
I have just spoken to the UK Samsung support and they said I should get it on 27th April and to phone them if I don't get it.
They said it has been delayed because of bugs but couldn't explain why it has been delayed longer for me compared to most others unless I am getting 5.1 instead of 5.02.

Interesting to see if the come through with that update on that date.

Uk unlocked note 4 user here. They bug reason does not surprise me at all, my other half has a S5 has the lollipop update back in Jan she has regretted it ever since, all sorts of issues with the radio particularly when disconnecting from wifi back to 3/4g she is left without a data connection.
From what I gather the 2 phones use the same if not similar radios.

Hey guys,
I have a UK BTU samsung note 4 unlocked, I.just got the update for lollipop.
Just downloading now.
Hope that helps
It's only 5.0 thought it would of been at least 5.01 not sure I want to install lol

Telus XT1097 5.1 OTA/Update

Hello All,
Today - - July 20th, according to schedule posted on Telus website, is supposed to be the start of the official 5.1 OTA roll-out for our XT1097 RETCA phones.
I am not yet seeing it pushed on my end but eagerly awaiting to test it out. I thought I would start a little thread here so people can post their results, upgrade experience, overall performance etc. [MODS: if this thread is deemed repetitive or unnecessary, please let me know]
cheers,
gs

Me too! I think initially the date was July 17th. (someone on Twitter had received a reply from TELUS stating that date).

Can't wait ! still no update

Please make sure you pull it out so we can enjoy this build ! Also curious to see if any radio improvements were made.

Will be seen here if and when !

Thanks bertiespeed! Good link to have, I was wondering how active those Moto subforums are but it seems like a reliable place. So eager for this to land on my phone. I flashed the stock brazilian 5.1. firmware just to see the overall feel of stock 5.1 compared to 5.0 >> NIGHT and DAY. Huge difference.... looking forward to the RETCA version. I will post back here as soon as I get the OTA notification, for the moment back to NX rom :good:

Update 7/20/2015: Select users on Retail Wind and Telus (22.121.11.victara_retca.retca.en.CA) and Retail China (22.31.18.victara_retcn.retcn.en.CN) can download and install Android 5.1

Hi all.
This was just posted on the Official Lollipop moto forum:
Update 7/24/2015: All users on Retail Wind and Telus (22.121.11.victara_retca.retca.en.CA) can download and install Android 5.1.
I am unfortunately on the road and cant do anything till after the weekend. If any of you here using the Telus XT1097 RETCA get the OTA please let us know here....

Update just showed up on my phone, away all wethough though

Never received the notification. did manual and it came up. installed and running fine .. So far so good

Just received the "5.1 Notification"! I'm on Telus Mobility.
I'm downloading it right now!
Will report a little later on.....

Does anyone have a link to the full firmware? I have 1095 firmware right now and would like to get 1097.

Anyone have full firmware？

I've been searching for 23.16.1.victara_retca.retca.en.CA full firmware to keep as backup, I still haven't found it. I prefer flashing full firmware using fastboot, rather than doing a system backup/restore using a custom recovery.

Full RSD XML firmware now available for RETCA XT1097

Thank you for that, I will try to download it, but I'm not hopeful, downloading a GB from Filefactory could take from 3 to 6 hours, if it ever finishes. Motofirmware still doesn't have it.
OK, downloaded, and flashed all files, no problems (I was on CyanogenMod).
