I saw on xda that the update takes away universal search?

Why is there no notification in the dropdown bar of the update?

If you read the main section, the update removes local search on the phone to comply with Apple as well as updating the modem. Not sure it makes sense to install it though.

It's just funny how Samsung can push an update like this through immediately yet OS upgrades are almost non existent. For months and months.

Guys, this post should help you fix it....just install it once you have updated and universal search should work again

look at the OP

New 2nd update kills search functionality?

**jcp007** · 07-11-2012, 09:34 PM

QUESTION: Where is the notification of the update? How was it pushed out?

**Csisprincess** · 07-11-2012, 09:47 PM

it's ota(over the air) access your settings about software and search for updates.... It will download and install it.

a tiny bug fix is a lot less time consuming and easier to push than a full blown OS update....

Thanks eyecon.... I read the OP and downloaded the old search.apk and I'm bk to normal...

Also what does the new "radio" update do? Better signal?

Any ideas?

**jcp007** · 07-12-2012, 06:45 AM

Exactly. What does the update fix? I may be real newb but my RIM OS7 devices had universal search. Why isn't Apple going after RIM?

I hope the iPhone fails now.

Hey if apple rips everything off from android it might be a half of a pos instead of full blown sh##

Still haven't received the update. When I check software update it says Software is up to date, check again in (insert declining number here ) hours. Currently 5 hours.

**fireidiot** · 07-12-2012, 05:17 PM

I just got the update a few minutes ago.

**okbow68** · 07-12-2012, 07:51 PM

Saved for later

**jcp007** · 07-12-2012, 09:24 PM

Is there a listing of fixes that the update covers?????????

**ItsaRaid** · 07-12-2012, 10:40 PM

I have mixed feelings about this OTA and those Apple Assholes. The modem fix is one thing, its great, but removing a feature from a phone that has been bought and paid for and doing it in a Apple Slinky Way that's being done is detestable. The device belongs to the owner already. If the change is made to unpurchased inventory, IMO that's one thing, but the phone was purchased with a feature set.
The way this is being done is distasteful,unsavoryand with no respect to the consumer who has made the purchase already.
Once again, Apple is trying to dominate the world of technology. Sure there are workarounds and those marvelous folks from XDA will come up with a.miracle or two. In the meanwhile, its just plaintiff simple wrong. The phone was sold with a feature set. They have a obligation and responsibility to their customers who purchase the device, and they don't have a right to force a change because of Apple.

I still have not received the update, i check for updates and i am told it cannot connect to the update server and it says it will check automatically in the next 48hrs. Not sure if this is bad or not, i like the universal search, but i would like the radio updates as well.
