Covered in many other posts but to summarize:
1) Samsung.com account setup?
2) Already been in the Google Market on the tab to accept the Terms of Use?
3) After both of those, did you add your Samsung account to the tab with success?
NOTE: No idea how the region may play a factor here....the Samsung account certainly has a country choice that might be an issue.
I have a SGS 2, i created samsung account on it. Added the same acct to tab 10.1.-- no good
then reset the tab, created a new samsung acct---- still no good..
have a similar problem
when i setup my samsung account i put us as a region. and earlier today i decided to update the system. i downloaded and installed the update but ignore a warning about removing clock widgets and any contacts shortcuts. So when it rebooted i got a black screen. I did a hard reset and got the factory setting tried to update again but got no new updates and i still have none of the new features.
Contacted samsung live chat and they said something about an overload of downloaders and the only solution they figured is to keep checking for new updates or the tab will send me a "(push) notification" of an update available.
so still trying and no new developments. I'll wait and try the next day.
Having the same issue as tusharsingla.
Bought the tab in the US and back home it can't find the TouchWiz update via the tab (no update available) and also not via Kies. Only strange thing is that the Samsung account has 'Sync Off' mentioned in my account list. Any suggestions?
See my post from another thread. I'm having the same issue and am here in the US.

There's a thread in the Q&A section where one xda member had been advised by samsung that the update has been halted. Another xda member reports that samsung told him they are limiting the downloads for touchwiz.
Anyone else called Samsung and got the same or similar answer?
Just purchased 10.1 wifi today cant get touchwiz OTA

Spoke with Samsung Support today
Samsung support says that they are limiting updates due to load on their servers. I spoke with two different techs and got the same answer.
However, IMHO this is a bunch of bull. The update was released more than a week ago and if their servers cannot handle the load after this amount of time they should pack up their bags and go home.
Give me a break!
I couldn't agree with you more! This is ridiculous! Just when I thought samsung is starting to get their act together they do something like this.

More from Samsung on Update
After numerous calls and emails over the past 10 days, I finally speak with someone today that tells me that the update is on hold. They could not provide any details about the reason or an ETA for availability.
I love Samsung's products, but there is no polite way to describe the quality of their support.
Same problem
When I finally got ahold of their support, I was told it was on hold due to an issue with the media hub in the USA. They could not give me any more details than that.
Samsung Experience
I happened to be in NYC today so I stopped in at the Samsung Experience center and they confirmed that the update was pulled, but they said it was due to software issues, not Media Hub. The rep said that there were complaints about excessive lag and poor battery life although he said it worked perfectly on his Tab.
I wasn't expecting the update any more soon but being bored I manually checked for it again yesterday evening. I was surprised that my tab did mention that there was an update available. It is the update including the TouchWiz, Media hub etc. so apparently they are still sending out the update.
I also checked out of boredom and noticed a firmware update. Can this be done while maintaining root?
galaxatized with honeycomb™
Got my Tab a couple of weeks ago and saw a pending 180+ MG update available while I was exploring last night. Ran it, and it crashed the system, some features work, some don't, some critical (the browser) are gone and I am a long long way away from support.
So begins my school on Android.

Ok everyone can quit complaining about the 2.1 update! I just checked Verizon Eris Software Upgrade page and its announced that there is an update coming soon! I know theres no date but at least it is now finally up on their site. If you dont belive me check it out your self & for those who doubted it would ever come this just shows that paicence is a virtue.

Check out both pdf files. The Benifits of Software link states all the updates for 2.1 and that it will be OTA
Credit to "Brainfart" on the Verizon forums for spotting first, thanks !!
Willing to bet money its going to be the same as the last leak. Or at least VERY close to the same...
If you read the pdf., the software revision is the same as leak v.3
I think they just posted the upgrade page to shut everyone up!
The upgrade will be here when monkey's come out of my butt!

And THAT is a *****. Because the new software version # is the same as the last leak, which means Verizon probably won't push it through to your phone because it will think you already have it. Guess it's a wait and see thing. I suppose you could reinstall one of the older leaks and then see if Verizon will push it to your phone. Ya suppose that would work??

They already charge for this. It isnt something new. I believe the price difference is 5-10$, cant rem. BUT you keep your regular plan and still do corp email as I dont think there is a way for them to stop this from happening at the moment. From what I rem (this was almost a year ago) the Verizon rep telling me, its on the "honor system".

Yeah, they ran that scam on us for awhile. They were charging us $15 extra per month (!) on top of the $30 data package, on top of our other regular charges, just so my wife could get to her work e-mail. Then we got her the Eris & I realized we could do the exact same thing (access an exchange server account) without paying the $15 extra per month. Bastards.

there is no way to downgrade as of yet. Hopefully someone will capture the update file like when the Motorola Droid got its update. If the ota doesn't come to those I'd us on v3 we'll have to do it the manual way. Either way the phone is going to be wiped. Gonna be a lot of pissed off people after this update

See, I'm not convinced yet. If you have leak V3 installed, I doubt you'll get the update, because the software version and baseband numbers are the same. The phone will think it's already updated. But what's to stop you from reinstalling leak V2 the old-fashioned way?? Then it should see that there is an upgrade/update available. I have a (kinda) unique advantage here...my daughter's Eris is untouched and still running the original 1.5. My wife's Eris is running leak V2, and my personal Eris is running leak V3. So to some degree I can just sit back and watch it all unfold. I have no reason to think my daughter's untouched phone won't get the update. Once it does, I'll know it's out there. If my wife's V2 gets the update and mine doesn't, then I'll reinstall leak V2 on mine and try again. Afterall, none of us really knows what's gonna happen until it happens. Man, I hope I didn't **** myself on this deal. I "resisted" installing a leaked 2.1 on my own personal Eris until last weekend when I called Verizon and they pleaded total ignorance about any software updates for the Eris. That just pissed me off, so I finally installed leak V3 on my phone (I had already installed V2 on the wife's). I'm anxiously waiting to see how this all shakes out. But I do hope someone captures the "real deal", so we who lost our patience can still get the new "official" 2.1. As far as the phone being wiped...I've got that down to a science now...not a problem.

Did you set up a samsung account on settings n i never got a update either i ended up installing a rom. And im happy with it.
same here. Purchased today, made Samsung account, no system update when I check.
Weird thing...I got a Wi-Fi 16GB yesterday and got the OTA immediately, but today I took it back and got a 32GB, but it wouldn't get the update. I ended up flashing a custom ROM.
Same here. Have been checking for update and nothing so far. I have created account since I purchased SGT 10.1 in July. I also have the SGT 10.1 32GB Where is our TouchWiz.

What is everyone's details? My build number appears to be a build for IO attendees from what it looked like in another thread, not sure though, so maybe that's the cause as TouchWiz isn't available for the IO build

just got off a chat with samsung and they said they have halted the update, with no info on when it will resume. not impressed with samsungs communication skills.
Go to Menu-settings-Accounts and Sync-add account-choose samsung account-sign up(if you haven't created one yet)
The sync logo will stay gray color next the samsung account. Go check for system updates...should walk you through the process.
Keep in mind that this update will take about 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Make sure you have a full battery or enough to last you a bit.
Try to keep the screen 'awake' during the process. Let me know if you run into problems.
The update is cool. Not bad.

Halted the update??? That's bull crap...why would they do that?? Sucks for the customers that wanted to check out the update. I guess we'll see what happens.
Funny, I just got of the chat with them and they told me this:
"In order to prevent network or server overload we are limiting the number of Tabs that can download the update. You can either keep trying, or wait for your Tab to receive a push update notification."
Could it be related to the lawsuit? Maybe touchwiz will be removed from samsung products if they lose the suit...
I've just bought a 10.1v in Belgium ( GT-P7100, 16G + 3G ). It came with Android 3.0.1 ( build HRI83.BUKE2 ) and no samsung apps.
I don't have the option to add a samsung account ( I also have an SGS2 which has the apps and I have created a Samsung account on it so I know how it should work ).
Software update tells my device is up to date.
So will I have to root&flash to get to 3.1 ?

I don't believe this, mainly because samsung sent me a label to overnight return my tab and they are sending me a new tab just because I complained that I couldn't get the OTA. Why would they send me a brand new tab if I couldn't get the OTA and they knew they stopped it? It's being delivered to them today.
Anything is possible though, I've seen sammy do some things that had me scratching my head in the past

Android revolution HD21.1 by mike1986
I am on the Isle of Man Network (Cable & Wireless Guernsey / Sure Mobile (Jersey) (according to Play))
Whilst i am a techie and have worked in IT for over 10 years i am still finding my way with Android so please bare with me! (I wouldn't for a second fathom that i know enough about development so thought i'd come talk to you guys.. as. well. you develop the stuff i'm having issues with!)
My mate rooted and uploaded a customer ROM for me when i got it and pretty much left me to my own devices, whilst i have only had a play round for a few weeks and downloaded some apps there is a few things that are annoying me (and yes i have searched around these forums, googled the hell outta it and unfortunately the things i have tried hasn't worked for me. So...
the crux of the matter is, there are 2 apps i am trying to get working on my phone but unfortunately there are a number of issues.
Sky Go: initially not showing up in the play store (rectified by the use of PhoneControl and Market Enabler)
When attempting to download i get "This item is not available in your country"
Whilst googling i noticed i was not the only one experiencing this issue and with some help from other frustrated users attempted to spoof the phone into thinking its on a different network codes via MarketEnabler. No dice. (although i can now at least see the 2 apps im trying to d/l. I know it works locally as i use it on my ipad (sorry to swear!)
HSBC Fast Balance: Same issues as above, research unfruitful. I had this app previously on my blackberry (shocker i know) so i know it is available in my region.
I have tried multiple things to try and fool the device into thinking it is somewhere else, i have tried changing my default country in multiple areas thinking this is the problem. No dice
So my guess is that the ROM my mate downloaded was developed in a different country and as such hard coded somewhere into the version, but im just guessing.
Any help/advice you may be able to offer would be most appreciated

Same with Sky Go
There's nothing wrong with the custom ROM your friend installed, but you might be better off going back to the latest stock ROM (XXEMB) for the UK - if you want the phone to work exactly as Samsung intended it to. Android is a wonderfully open ended OS but can be a bit too open ended sometimes.
You can download stock ROMS from links in the general forum and follow (closely) the instructions to flash it via Odin on your PC - or get your friend to put back how he found it.
Both myself and a colleague ordered the GPE version and they arrived today. Both of our devices, completely stock are unable to get into the Settings>Security menu's. When we launch it, it simply crashes and says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped." Every other settings menu works fine. A quick google search turned up this article from earlier today.
http://blogs.computerworld.com/android/23270/sony-z-ultra-google-play-edition
I am sure this will be fixed soon, but I figured I would post here in case someone else came looking for answers (this is always my first stop).
Troubleshooting steps tried : Factory Resetting, Also tried launching the security settings before running all of the updates from Google Play store, still didnt work. We tried resetting a device and not signing into anything during the initial setup, no go.
This prevents us from being able to install exchange accounts, enroll in MDM, or even simply set a pin lock. Major, major issue, fingers crossed it's gets exposure asap.
We tried calling Google several times but "their system is down, try our call later" is the recording we got. Update - Finally got through to them. Opened a case and they escalated.
Also trying to uninstall any applications cause the device to reboot.
Yeah, looks like everyone with a Ultra GPE is affected by this. Not much to do with it until Google releases a fix though. You would've thought that Sony would notice a huge bug like this, but lets hope they are aware of it - which i guess they are since i assume a lot of their employees are using this model.
Try contacting Sony through their Chat Support and explain the bug to them, and give the person you're talking to the link you've posted.

when I attempted to contact Sony this morning for the very same bug with my unit they transferred me to Google. The rep I spoke with said he was unaware of the issue. Wants me to RMA the device to send me a "refurbished" one. I'm gonna wait out a fix I guess... Didn't pay full retail for a refurbished model.
Okay, yes. I'm a GOW junkie (I don't spend..............anymore ) but after the MM upgrade, I find that in the chat window, the keyboard obscures the chat input so I cannot see what I'm typing. I've tried the stock LG G3 keyboard, Swiftkey (my default keyboard I use), Flesky and Google keyboard. All of them experience the same issue. The only way to circumvent this issue is to use Swiftkey and undock the keyboard so it's above the chat window.
I've tested another game called Mobile Strike which uses the GOW engine and it does NOT experience the same issue. Only GOW.
I have a Nexus 7 (2012) and I recently flashed a MM ROM (from a Google developer) and it does NOT have the issue, so it appears to be something with the G3 MM upgrade. Before the upgrade, when I was on stock LP, the keyboard issue didn't exist, so it has to be the G3 MM upgrade.
My upgrade was done via an official OTA that I received over the network (I didn't side load it or retrieve it from the forums or a download site), so it's what I received from VZW. I've done a factory reset and that hasn't fixed the issue either.
I'm not about to downgrade back to LP as I like the MM upgrade, and with the Swiftkey, I have a way to get around the "bug", but I wasn't sure if others running official MM on the G3 are seeing the same issue? I've emailed MachineZone (the game devs) and they were of little to no help. Not sure if I should contact someone from LG or VZW on this.
Thanks!
Okay, update on this.
It appears the issue has to do with the game from Google Play. When I installed it from Amazon, the issue goes away.
Hmmm....
Are both the same version # of the game? Just curious since I've found in the past that on Amazon they often stop updating their apps at some point, but I haven't used their app store in a good long while so... ?

No, they are different versions. They were both updated in March, but the Google Play version was updated around March 17th, and the Amazon version was updated around March 22nd.
MZ did acknowledge that there were issues with the LG phones not working correctly after the MM update regarding the keyboard and they were looking into it.
So, in the meantime, I've switch to the Amazon version for now on the G3 and all my keyboards work. That is, until they break the Amazon version.

Is there anyway of downloading through Amazon onto a Samsung tab a 6
Not sure about the Samsung Tab. You have to get the Amazon App from their web site and download it there. You also have to make sure you enable in system settings the security setting that allows installing APKS from unknown sources since the Amazon Underground App is not on Google Play.
Also, an update on my issue. After several updates, the issue with my keyboard in the Google Play version has persisted. However, a few months ago, I started going through all the settings and saw one setting which was turned on:
Battery->Battery Saver->Game Optimizer
When I turned this off, the issue with the chat window being hidden disappears. Not sure why this doesn't affect the Amazon version. Just another example of MZ and their abhorrent lack of QA when releasing updates.

My upgrade was done via an official OTA that I received over the network (I didn't side load it or retrieve it from the forums or a download site), so it's what I received from VZW. I've done a factory reset and that hasn't fixed the issue either.
I'm not about to downgrade back to LP as I like the MM upgrade, and with the Swiftkey, I have a way to get around the "bug", but I wasn't sure if others running official MM on the G3 are seeing the same issue? I've emailed MachineZone (the game devs) and they were of little to no help. Not sure if I should contact someone from LG or VZW on this.
Thanks!

Hi, I to have been having issues with my GoW in game keyboard, I'm going to start from now and work my way back, currently I have a xaomi redmi 2, and they roll out with KK.......
I got pretty frustrated with the GoW keyboard issue and went as far as to install a emulated MM rom but I still have the same issue, so I am convinced that the problem lies with MZ, their developers need to check their shight, I been playing GoW for the best part of 2 and a half years and in the earlier days the keyboard issues didn't exist, previously I first had my GoW account on my Samsung S4 for roughly a year and then I had it on my LG G4.....
Yeah I am still pretty frustrated about not being able to communicate within GoW if you find a workaround for this lemme know.

If you read my response just before your post, you'll see how I fixed it.
Basically, turn off Game Optimizer in the G3. That will fix the keyboard issue.
I'm no longer on the G3 and I quit GoW months ago. MZ got WAY to greedy with the updates and within a few weeks, my trap account was invalid and the only way to get it back to where it was would have been to spend tons of money. No thank you.
