AT&T Software Update?

[Chrstauffe]

i just want my dang email to work like it did when i first got the phone. i hate the email since it was updated to 4.0.4. this app sucks balls.
it loses me email accounts and cant forward attachments for crap. is it so hard to update this dang built in app.

I tried moving to the aosp email.apk like suggested but i must not have the right one because my phone just went nuts and so i am back on the 4.0.4 POS. :-(

[App]Install Aosp apps on Samsung touchwiz based Android 4.0 Roms - xda-developers
unless i am miss reading it. anyway it didn't work.

One that's not skyrocket so it would need to be confirmed I'm not sure as I've never tested it lol

What were your exact steps walk me through what you did

Got the update and installed it, but have no clue what has changed. But then I tried to use Kies and was told my phone was unsupported. I use Kies to backup and to move music onto the phone.....

Looks like AT&T messed this up.

I mean hardware that doesn't work when using a ROM (ex: camera, wifi connectivity, etc.).

Back to topic, I'm able to download the Isis app (showed up in the Play Store). n8ter, maybe that update was good for something after all.

Edit: I spoke too soon...it would give me a "Missing shared library" error. Maybe because I'm not in either city (Salt Lake City or Austin), and I need a special SIM card for it to work. Beans.

Yea, I'm losing faith in mobile payments. If Microsoft's mobile payments are supported and work on release of WP8 devices, I'm doing what I can to get one ASAP. The carrier wizardry on Android is becoming a huge issue for me, and I can't be bothered to use a non-LTE Nexus Phone with that nasty stock android UI.

Like the rest of you, I'm confused as to what this update was and what other function is was suppose to bring. However, it did install successfully. But, it's no Jellybean. I attempted to install Isis app and keep getting missing library. Only redeeming feature is I'm getting ready to purchase the Note 2 later next month.

Google Wallet and Isis still don't work after the update. Still don't see anything different...

So far, removes universal search. It adds all the bloatware and you can no longer uninstall them, you can only disable them.

I installed update and in same shape with Kies. Screen comes up saying not Supported by Kies 2.0. I put the original ICS back in and still can't get in Kies to restore backup..Might be ATT on this one or might be Kies

 

[oswipee]

I just had it pop up on my phone. I'm not near a wifi area...so can someone see what kind of updates we're supposed to be getting?

I spoke to Samsung rep about this update. I was told this was a maintenance update to fix few bugs like syncing issues and few others that I forgot.

Right? This update sucks @ss! This was the best they could do? Lame sammy just lame!

 

[sweeterman]

From what I can see, it has a new kernel and modem.

I thought ISIS used a special SIM instead of the secure element that Google Wallet uses. See this.

That's why they didn't bother to give us a change log. It's fine though. I upgraded to Windows 8 so I'm looking into a Windows Phone 8 device. Works better with my PC and I won't have to worry about having my phone crippled behind my back anymore.

This update is junk. Wish I didn't download it. Phone seems buggy and battery life is terrible. Even pulled the battery and a factory reset. Neither helped.

I'll probably go back to the official ics with universal search and the ability to remove most crapware...

I actually think I'm getting BETTER battery usage since the update. I presume that is due to the resetting that was part of the update. I applied it on 10/27/12.

My battery usage is here.

I picked up a used second Skyrocket in white (for my wife...her Atrix is crapping out) and it's at 2.3.6 and factory reset. Before I move things over, I'm doing the ICS Kies update and software update. I'm hoping that it'll run well since it's going to be done from scratch.
