**roberts68** · 12-20-2011, 09:32 AM

I woke up to a message on my phone asking to update.
anyone know what its for?
i installed it, took a few minutes.
cant tell any difference yet.

Not sure about the T-Mo S II, but the ATT update fixed the lockscreen issue, AP Mobile widget data issue, and also changed the scrolling behavior to the "blue glow."

Here's the official announcement,

**afhanson72** · 12-20-2011, 02:34 PM

I notice it says we will get an OTA update. I did not and I am having trouble updating via PC. Any help?

**dannytroy** · 12-20-2011, 02:56 PM

I got the message this morning and since my phone is rooted I'm glad it wasn't an automatic upgrade. I postponed it until I was able to find how to cancel the update. If anyone wants to prevent the update you have to uninstall (or freeze?) the apk file "Device management 3.0". I used Titanium backup to uninstall it, after making a backup of the file. Now when I choose "software update" in settings, it doesn't open the app, which shows me the uninstall is working and I won't be prompted to update in the future.

When I choose "software update" it says "no firmware". What does that mean? Sorry, I'm new to Android, just switched from Blackberry recently!

**afhanson72** · 12-20-2011, 10:03 PM

Never mind, I figured it out.

Got the ota update this evening and of course my battery was too low for it to start. At 50% it let me start the update and about 4 mins later it was finished. A Lil red box with a talk bubble alerted me to the fact that I now need to have my sim card updated to use wifi calling. I guess I'll wait for the morning.

I used the Kies software and downloaded it to my phone manually. I still haven't received the ota update.

Sim card replaced and make sure that T-Mobile updates your 911 address. It seemed to create some sort of network error. Tell them you need a SIM with the #TM9177.

Works perfect now

So what are the battery and caller-id enhancements also mentioned in the link?

I'm not sure how to truly gauge the battery but I'm pretty sure that I got a significant battery increase. I have yet to figure out what caller id issues were adjusted.

**Oopbuddha** · 12-24-2011, 01:24 AM

Is this update safe for a rooted phone?

**raven71#ac** · 12-24-2011, 11:34 PM

Update worked fine i'm able to use My phone to talk and send calls over wifi

**elysea** · 12-25-2011, 11:36 AM

Anyone have an issue with the lockscreen after the update? Now there is this annoying banner that tells me to swipe to unlock and I can't figure out how to get rid of it or turn it off.

**afhanson72** · 12-25-2011, 03:19 PM

I had that at first but then it went away on it's own.

I now cannot send or receive pictures since this update. Anyone know why?

I am still waiting for mine to be sent to me. Hubby and friend got theirs a few days ago and I really want to do mine.

**raven71#ac** · 12-26-2011, 10:37 PM

I do not see any caller id enhancements. They still want to charge for unknown caller id which is bull crap. At least ATT had the feature for free. Then again I don't know if it was for all plans.

**lunchBB** · 12-27-2011, 07:21 PM

That swipe to unlock banner mysteriously disappear today.

**raven71#ac** · 01-01-2012, 12:05 PM

I might have talked to soon since this update I have been dropping calls. I thought it was a fluke, but I got to call back people since this update.
Some calls last a minute before disconnecting. Some only a couple of seconds. People also say it sounds like i'm getting further away from the phone while talking into it.
I have tried it with the wifi off, on roaming checked, every which way I can set which system to use.
i'm keeping the log showing how long a call lasts and how many times I have to keep reconnecting. I hope they can figure it out.

**roberts68** · 01-01-2012, 01:19 PM

i dont have the dropped calls issues wince the update, but my bluetooth has went to hell.
for some reason it seems to turn off every night on its own. then to get it back on i have to go to settings and click the checkbox to turn it on, and wait.
and it still doesnt turn on.
after a couple minutes, i have to click the checkbox AGAIN, and then finally after a minute it turns on and connects.
FRUSTRATING!
Thats the only issue with android is who do you call for support?! tmobile? samsung? google?

**bsmith1051** · 01-04-2012, 06:41 PM

My bluetooth is unreliable now, too. When I see that it's off I assume the radio is borked and just power-cycle. Trying to simply turn the feature back on didn't seem to work; maybe I was too impatient.

**roberts68** · 01-05-2012, 11:13 AM

thats a great idea.

itll probly be quicker for me ot power cycle, and less hassle, the messing with the on switch for the bluetooth, since it takes it 2x to turn on anyhow, and sometimes still doesnt pair.

this issue is ridiculous.
is anyone listening?!
