Hi friends, I just got a notification that there was an update to Book Cover Keyboard for my Tab S8 Ultra - Anyone have any idea what was updated / changelog?
I saw this video
apparently it fixes the touchpad issue where you type and then touch the touchpad and it wouldn't work for another 5 seconds then mouse pointer starts moving. But with this update it fixes the touchpad so it will work straight away without delay after typing.
Got the update notification after a reboot and following the video's instruction.
It installed properly on my rooted S8U 5G !
Keyboard does feel way better, I had some latency and intermittent issue before (not responding or continuous typing the last letter i typed) that seems fix. i'll update this post if i see any issue.
thanks for the info friends!
What steps are necessary to get the update prompt? (My S8 Ultra is rooted with version SPA1....AVC5 / Feb 1st security patch level)
I installed mine from AVC5 but now that AVCD is out, you may wanna update first.
to get the update prompt:
-be connected to the net via wifi, LTE or 5g with your keyboard attached
-detach your keyboard for 5-10s and attach it back
-update prompt should relatively soon afterwards
My keyboard failed to update and is still having issues. Anybody know how to initiate the update any other way? Removing the keyboard doesn't work.
have you tried to turn it off an on again?

Disconnect the keyboard, turn the tablet off and then wait 15 mins and power it back on while keyboard is disconnected and not attached. Unlock the device and when it's ready. Try attaching the keyboard again and hopefully a new popup window comes with update notice. Idk if this works just a try and see if it does.
Make sure it is connected to WiFi or mobile data such 4G or 5G if it has that and if WiFi isn't available.
Mine just randomly prompted today to install the firmware when I attached the keyboard. You may have to not do anything other than wait.
I'm still on ...AVC5 update as well.

HI there, I have the dreaded 'unable to scan networks' wifi problem- it started after I set up a mobile AP (I didn't turn the AP service off after I'd finished with it- I wonder if that's what caused it?)...
Anyway, I've since learned via this board that I can fix my wifi by 2 methods: 1) performing a reset (would rather not) and 2) editing a line somewhere, root access is required.
I do have a third option- waiting until the 2.2 OTA update comes through, which I understand will require (and perform) a reset anyway.
However, I'm sick of waiting for 2.2.
What I'd like to know is: If I root my phone & fix my Wifi, will I still receive the OTA update?
Anybody?
TIA.
the 2.2 froyo is not OTA
it is OTK (over the kies)
just turn off your phone, then turn it back on, that should reset your WiFi stuck i/o
some times the GPS does that too, just turn off the phone, turn it back on and they work right away.
in contrast to the HTC Windows Mobile phones, the SGS is much much much better, i barely have to do any restart of the phone with Android
with Windows Mobile it was at least 10 reboot a day
Restart doesn't fix it... Tried removing battery, etc. etc.
The 'unable to scan networks' problem is a known issue- at least to this board, If not to samsung.

Im in the same boat as you mate with my Samsung galaxy s, i have tried turning it on and off with alternate battery in and out methods, my wi-fi just wont work now, it turns on, comes up saying "Unable to scan networks" and turns the wifi off.
I have read on many posts about the issue and the best fix appears to be here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8062313
*Sorry its not linked, this is my first post so i assume it wont let me post links until im roughly around the 25th post mark.
The issue i find with using this method is that in order to browse the phone at a root level to get to that file, you need to pay for the App in the android market to do it.
I have rooted my phone already and already applied the lag fix (boy did that change things), but im more contemplating doing the upgrade to 2.2 than buying the app just to fix a wifi issue. Im hoping this gets fixed in 2.2, or at least a more easier solution / fix.
My question is, if i did buy the app to browse the phones file system and i fix the wifi, does it fix it permanently or just until it happens again and i will have to follow the same process again... ?
did you both turn off Bluetooth when using WiFi?
you can't use BT when using WiFi
I've never had to turn off bluetooth to use wifi before...
However: PROBLEM IS NOW FIXED!!
Here's how I did it:
First, bluetooth was off.
Tried to upload a video shot on the phone to youtube. Got message along the lines of 'will only upload video over wifi'
Next message pops up: 'waiting for wifi'
THEN message box saying' signal strength excellent' & asking for my wifi password!
I've been without wifi for 2 weeks, this is brilliant. Give it a go, try uploading a video to youtube.
I reckon it overwrites the bad line, but who knows. Maybe its a bluetooth thing. I don't care, it worked for me.
Spread the news!

how would I go about updating, when 2.2 is official, without kies or rooting? I've lost patience with kies!
This was mentioned on another topic already but here it is again:
Heimdall, Odin, Rom Manager Clockwork just to name a few, there are many other ways to go about this even without Kies

cool, cheers! I think I will try Odin!
Samsung Galaxy Note is my first ever Android phone so please excuse me for what might be something easy to fix and obvious.
Basically, just done a hard reset via holding volume, home and power buttons as I wanted to return the phone to stock because I traded it for my iPhone. I was showing friends the voice recognition software last night and all was fine. However I just went to write a Facebook status and thought I'd try the voice recognition but there's a red line through the microphone.
I've been through the settings and couldn't see anything, so thought I'd try the Voice Talk app again. It loaded up and I gave it a command then it crashed and kicked me back to the home screen where it took a couple of seconds for my apps to show up.
I tried double clicking the home button to which I was greeted with 'say your command'. Gave it a command and it was fine. However once I cancelled it and went to the main menu of Voice Talk, it locked up and threw me out again.
Any ideas?? I know not many people use it and I probably won't, but I would like it to work just for them random occasions when you want to mess about.
Please be as beginner friendly as possible
Oh, and I'm running stock... far to early to start rooting when I'm still getting used to everything after 4 years with Apple.
Ok.. I took the plunge and did a factory reset through the 'Privacy' app and now it works again
Didn't have much to lose as I'm still waiting for my SD card so I thought I might as well.
However, once I connected to the market I had a notification saying I had a firmware update available. I was already on 2.3.6 and after applying this update I'm still on 2.3.6!?
Could someone please reassure me this phone is definitely running stock rom and latest update?
your FW is stock n you have latest ROM installed.
Just keep in mind when you update not necessary gingerbread version also update(2.3.6).
look to build number XXLB1, so your ROM version is known as LB1 (latest)
Thanks for that, some less worrying now. I'll see how it goes this time - hopefully just a one off glitch.
I was just a bit worried about the 'Kernal' as it looked like it had an email address in the middle of some gibberish code. lol
This is absolutely normal
Your ROM is XXLB1
Your Kernel is XXLB1
Baseband (Modem ) is also XXLB1
it is perfact n latest
Voice command doesnt work only when accessed from double press home key
Hi, i have a bit of a problem with note voice talk. i hope its ok to ask here since this is about voice talk.
I am on Stock ICS, rooted. I am a bit confused. voice talk works fine if i open the application, say "hi galaxy", activate it and give my command.
however.... if i access voicetalk by double pressing home key. It wont accept any command as if the mic is mute i have to press cancel, say "hi galaxy" and it will work normally. anyone have any idea what happen to my voice talk and how to fix it?
thanx before

i am also prompted to update my firmware.is this absolutely necessary? will i still get ics ota even while my phone is sitting on kernel xxkk9 baseband xxkk5? reason i am reluctant to update is : i have a lot of app (games) that require over 1GIG of data files. im worried if i update i will lose all that info...
can i update without losing all of this?
or one more question, i recently bought fifa12 ..i notice that today the app has an update in google play. will updating this mean i have to re download data files again?
silly Qs i know , but please enlighten
Official updated and non wipe version of stock rom won't erase data.
Play update also won't.

Been searching for a while and can't find anything in the forums, or any apps. Thought I would post it here to see if any of the wizards knew of something that might work.
I carry my Note 1 (GT-N7000 international version) without any case in my trouser pocket (screen towards my leg) with nothing else in the pocket. It's the way I like it and works fine for me. But, occasionally the home button will be accidentally pressed. Although it eventually turns itself off, I was looking for an app that would modify the home button so that it only works on a long press (I never use the task manager anyway).
My phone is not rooted and is still running the original 2.3.6 (never got any software update notification).
Has anybody heard of any app (or setting?) that would allow me to do this?
Thanks
I guess you can do it without getting rooted
But you can use apps that work with proximity sensor..Try this one

It never occurred to me to look for proximity sensor apps -- I just kept searching for home button apps.
It works. If the home button is pushed, it almost immediately shuts itself off.
I knew there was a wizard out there.
Thanks.

Just curious that you never got any software update notification. May b "Auto update" & "Push message" under "Settings>About Phone>Software update" are disabled? Try connecting ur phone to ur PC/Laptop through Kies..AFAIK, you should be able to update to ICS..sorry for concentrating on your 2nd issue rather than the main one..

Thanks for responding! Both Auto Update and Push Message are checked. About once I week I manually check for an update, but it says that no update is available.
I can connect via Kies, but I see nothing in Kies about updating the OS.
By the way, this is actually a UK phone that I've been using in the U.S. I don't know if that would make any difference. Everything works fine.
Any help would be appreciated. I would like to upgrade to ICS.
Best regards

Even though u live in the US,you should get all the updates of the UK
Its not required to be in the same country where you bought the phone to get the software update
If you dont get it through ota,you can dowmload the ics rom and flash it through pc odin
You can find all stock roms here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
Download either US or UK rom and flash it through pc odin
There are also instructions and screenshots of flashing a rom in the above link
And if you flash ics,do not do any wipes with stock kernel,stock ics kernels are not safe to wipe and may lead to a brick.First root your phone and flash a safe kernel
Thanks to shyamub4u and rajsekhar.300!
Your comments made me start researching Kies, and I found out I was using only Kies Air. I downloaded Kies, connected my Note via cable, and the ICS update appeared. It installed fine. So I got two issues resolved in one post.
Bravo.
I doubt many have this problem as most people using smart view have a wifi connection they use to connect their devices to. My display adapter is one that doesn't connect to a network but instead basically creates it's on wifi connection that my phone connects to using WiFi direct. Before the Oreo update it worked flawlessly and still does on my S7 Edge.
Now when I try to connect to it on my Note 8 it's tries to connect and in some instances connects, but then almost immediately disconnects there after. I contacted samsung support and had them remote into it to see if they could get it to work. They told me it was a bug and that they would forward it to the development team, and that a fix should come soon for the bug. Well it's now going on three weeks since then and there has yet to be a update out fixing the issue. I emailed Samsung support reminding them of the issue and they said there was no reported problems related to smart view and that the next update should fix a lot of the bugs that came with the first update.
My hope with this post is that others might have the same issue or a work around, and if not, that maybe Samsung will eventually see it and find a fix for it. My S7 doesn't perform as well as my Note 8 so I'm hoping a solution comes soon.

Where can I find whatever it is that you did to make yours work? Mine works at my friend's house using WiFi and a Chromecast. But WiFi direct to a WiFi video adapter just doesn't work and it makes no sense. Did yours work on nougat?
No mines never worked still don't.
My wife's does out of the box. I have heard so many horror stories. His works his don't. This firmware. That firmware. No one really knows what's wrong with it.
Mine works about half way. I can't never fully connect. Like my tv acknowledges that my phone is trying to connect but my phone never does. My s7 did this too. But my note 5 worked great
Same problem. Galaxy S7 trying to mirror on Samsung Smart TV. Worked fine before Oreo. Now, it says it's connected, then says "Screen Mirroring ended" Help!
I have a Samsung Galaxy J7 and have the exact same problem using the smartview funtion that came with the phone. It will work fine for youtube videos but when I try to stream a video from other apps smartview will disconnect and then freeze my phone untill it restarts itself. Before oreo I had no problems using smartview without wifi. Have you heard of any fixes yet??
Still no workaround? :'(
Apologies if this is the wrong section. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 on Verizon. A few months ago I had a Kenwood DMX906S installed in my car. Up until Verizon rolled out the Android 10 Update, I was able to use Smart View to wirelessly screen mirror to my Kenwood. With the update, the Smart View app was also updated to v8.1.32. I'm not sure what it was before, but looking through the previous APKs, I'm thinking it was version 7.x.x.
So now, I'm unable to share to my Kenwood. Other support forums have shown that people are having the same issues with Sony Bravia TVs and other TVs as well. I have contacted Kenwood and they said it's not really their issue and they might look at releasing a firmware update at some point.
So, I've looked on APK Mirror and have been able to find previous versions of the APK, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the current version because it's a built in app. And even if I try to just install a more recent version available on APK Mirroring (8.1.40) it gives me a simple error that the APK wasn't installed. More than that, I'm not certain if the problem stems from an issue with the Smart View app itself or if it's a setting somewhere in the new Android 10 Update that I'm overlooking. Any help would be appreciated.
Same issue with a Kenwood dmx9706s and gs9+
I contacted Samsung nine times. They want me to send my phone in. They don't get it. Kenwood says sorry not our problem. Verizon says we don't do software. Crutchfield says, yes we know you bought that receiver last week. But it's discontinued now. And try Samsung.
It seems like something in wifi direct is broken. I also tried the newer apks and they would not install.
Didn't work for me but...
I have a galaxy z flip and my device will connect but only displays a zoomed in section of my homescreen. But I found on a reddit thread that a lot of people were able to get their smart view to work again after resetting network settings. You will lose saved wifi passwords, etc. but I felt it worth trying even though my problem didn't exactly match up. But if your problem is not being able to connect at all then that was a fix that worked for quite a few people. Hopefully it works for you, now I'm off to continue my search for a solution to my seemingly on off problem.
verizon or samsung update?
