SGT 10.1 Software update

[windiddy]

As of 04 July 12:30 pm EST, my sgt 10.1 received a software update. it is being installed right now. To check for your software update, go to settings --> about tablet --> software update. You will need a Samsung account registered on your SGT.

Will post the status after the update.

It was nothing visually different then before. No touchwiz. Must have been an under the hood update.

I checked, no update available for mine. Did your Android, build number or Kernel version change?

3.1
2.6.36.3
HMJ37

i got my SGT on the very first day...June 8 in Union sq NYC. Sammy is probably pushing out updates to very first batches of SGTs. My SGT says
android 3.1
Kernel 2.6.36.3
se.infra@sep-58 #1

Re: System Update LIVE!

Did you get your Tab at the NY launch or retail launch? If the NY launch, it is just a small update to bring it up to date to where the retail Tabs are.

NY Launch. I guess you are right because nothing is different as far as I can tell. It did say it was a "stability update" at one point prior to clicking "OK".

i noticed that after this small update, my 10.1 is a lot more stable...fewer crashes with the browser. less buggy...

Could u guys check if the update change the picture frame widget? Last night I noticed that the picture frame widget had change from 3x3 to 2x2... This would explain that. I had my tab set up to do updates automatically. If this is part of an update they screwed up cause a 2x2 photo on the home screen looks really bad.

I still haven't gotten around the "bad password/service unavailable" error when trying to link up a Samsung account.

Try setting up new account from the tab. Samsung says that the two accounts (home pc and tab) are different. That fixed mine.

I am having the very same problem with the wifes GT, I called tech and they could not solve the problem. They escalated it to a next level tech, but no response yet. I am calling them again today and try to solve this.
The funning thing is they told me to do a factory reset to clear all the old info. The problem is the factory reset is not clearing and restoring to factory settings, I know this because the settings that I have changed are still set after the reset.
I also have another problem with ours, after the factory data reset you have to log into your gmail account during the set up to retrieve your apps and info. If you log in to your gmail account later it will not restore your apps.

When you log in on my OG Droid and Tbolt they will restore the apps at anytime.

WHat I did was I opened a new google account, similar to my old one. And I used the new account to get my Samsung account and it worked.

How was the next level of Samsung support? Whenever I got sent to an ECR, they told me they support EVERY product, but the 10.1. Got that from 5 different agents.

Samsung's 1800# support was pretty bad. They had no idea what they were talking about...

I will second that, after spending about an hour with them on the phone, still had the same problem. There is some kind of software glitch that does not wipe the tablet clean when you do either a hard reset or the factory data reset.
I read on another thread here that someone got the login to work only after they opened and accepted the terms on the Samsung App, I did that, messed around some more and now it has logged in to Samsung account.

Just FYI - When i was running my Droid X I was having a lot of errors at first. I would perform a factory reset and it did not seem to fix the problems. I noticed a post on android central:
http://www.androidcentral.com/froyo-factory-reset

It fixed all my issues. From that point on when ever I perform a factory reset I ensure that my 'backup data' and 'restore data' are not checked.

Not sure if Honeycomb is the same but I have been having multiple force closures and black screens. I am about to do a factory reset as well.
