Yea I just got this new update as well and I'm excited to kno what it's about is it just me or did the key board change a bit Idk but I updated it and I'm getting a lot more signal bars
It looks a little darker if memory serves. I have been using SwiftKey as of late. I appear to have a stronger signal as well here at work. I hope this helps with the people who have been having issues with the crackling and popping when making calls.

Apparently the release was a bit premature and the offcial release date begins today (the week of 10/28). I received it this morning. You should be able to get it now.
This update to version MJ4 primarily fixes the audio issues that some were having with the phone and also a handwriting bug in the Samsung keyboard. Not sure what else it fixes or changes.

Yes, MI5 has been out for a while. Once you're done updating to MI5 you should be able to update to MJ4.

Thank you very much.. so Kies 3 is saying im up to date with MI5 but from the phone.. check for updates is now DL something so guessing MJ4.... appreciate it! :good:
I think that this update might address the call quality issue people were having including myself. I just had a phone conversation that didnt make me want to toss the phone. I was plagued with pops and digital sounds when I first got the phone. I called Spring customer service and went in to see a rep and they new of the problem. The in store rep said that a download was coming soon...and here it is!
Be aware it appears mj4 has a new bootloader. Some reports coming in of downgrading flipping knox even on unrooted phones. May not want to downgrade if on mj4

I have an unlocked SGH-I777 (but not rooted) and i have been trying to update my phone since last week, from 2.3.4 to 2.3.6, but that seems to be impossible. I tried the most common way (settings-> software update) and it says The current software is up to date. I tried using Kies and it says that I have the most recent firmware.
Is there a way to download the update and install it manually, w/o rooting my phone?

You really don't want to do that. it's a disaster build.

what really bugs me is that I cannot update. It is saying that I have the latest firmware/OS. I'm a bit concerned, because i don't know if i will be able to update my phone when they release android 4.
Someone will post the update before everyone can update. I froze the updater on my phone so it wouldn't update. I always download updates and manually flash them if I want them.

listen to me when I tell you this: "do not worry about an update that might be 6+ months away". Dont worry about ICS update when its not even remotely close to coming out. I dont care if Samsung said we'll get it in Q1. I'll believe it when I see it. Worry about the ICS update when you get it. Until then, enjoy life and your phone and stop worrying about your update.

This question is for people in the US that downloaded the 11.1 firmware update and applied it. Did it fix / break anything? Should I try it and see if it helps with the rebooting issues?
I just want to know if it helps at all.

Been wondering the same thing. I actually read the entire thread on it, and came away with no real detail on what it has that may be different. I like to incorporate any fixes I can get my hands on, but there is too little info on this "undocumented" update. Folks were nice enough to make it available, but no one ever tore it down enough to know what it does/has. I won't take that kind of risk on... Probably best to wait for the next official, especially since that thread went nowhere, and was not too conclusive as to what this update may or may not do.
Always best to update to the latest firmware. What you waiting for?

Oh OK..did only specific people get this one? Like Asus only made this available to people they contacted?
This is the thread
OP: Try to include the full release number so people know what you are talking about, specifically. In this case, its the ICS Update 9.4.2.11.1
This seems to be the bulk of avalable info on this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452933
In other words... not much. I thought about it... a lot. In fact I downloaded it last night, but so far, I am brave, but not stupid, I hope.
NEVER update to something that you do not know EXACTLY what it is, what it does(or is trying to do) and what is in it.
NEVER
Unless you LIKE having a shine "Spun Metalic" Brick... in which case, go for it.
I had the random freeze then immediately reboot bug. Really sucked and was really random. I couldn't pinpoint what was causing it at all.
Soooo, I gave 11.1 a go and all is well now.

Um, where would I see it? Build is 9. whatever.. It updated automatically after unboxing and connecting, don't see an update available. Mine is working fine software wise, no reboots or anything

I have installed it and have been running it for a week or 2. I know that it has fixed my YouTube buffering issue. It seems that it hasn't fixed the lockup issue it wifi issue, but I have not had any reboot.
I would recommend it.
Ive been running it since a half hour after it was posted and its been very good. Everything runs great with the occasional browser freeze( doesnt matter which browser)one in a while which may be my own fault because of the way i hold it with one hand in the middle and my thumb touches the bottom of the display.

Hence why I posted this thread -_-
And so far people seem to be saying that it fixes up the problems a little bit. If I can get more confirmation of this, then I'll apply it. It's an official ASUS beta for USA users only, so that's why it's not "untrustworthy".
Updating now.
I don't mind trying new things, and I'm still within my return window. I'll post if I notice anything new, but I have had 0 software bugs to date.

It's not an OTA. It's a beta that requires manual install. Or are you receiving errors on manual installation?
I actually don't get any response from my Prime regarding the update. It doesn't even try, just boots on up... will keep trying

I think you have to set the brightness to 50% and something else for it to go into "update mode" or whatever.
I've had it installed for over a week and a half, and it fixed my re-booting issue.

I'm used to searching on my tablet to see if it needs an update. But you said this was a manual.
However, when I got to the Asus Prime Firmware update site, the newest looks like 11, not 11.1.
I've bite the bullet to manually update to the beta 11.1, I will report back if it worked for me. I've had reboots/crashes/and lockups. Not too many, but enough to make me mad at this expensive 64gb tablet. Let's see. I've applied the update without a factory reset, hopefully a factor reset isn't needed since I've done a few after the orginal ICS update.

Let us know if it helps at all. It'd be great for someone to personally clarify it.
I contacted Verizon this morning and asked if the ICS update rumors were for real. I was told that they have not heard and have no documentation on the official release.

Verizon will always say that......atleast from my experience.

Does it matter? The 3.14 leak is great. Any changes they made between that and the 'official' release will only make it better.
Yeah, but we all knew, or should have known, when a leak hit a couple days ago and wasn't the final release, that the 9th was wrong. There was serious reason to doubt it before that leak anyway. Just flash the new leak. It's great.
Yeah, not only will they deny it, but often the people you speak with will be uninformed or misinformed. I wouldn't bet either way at the moment. I wonder if Vegas keeps odd on this. I hear they'll do most anything. 20-1 the last leak was our official 10-1 we'll get anything today. I don't know not much of a gambler. Anyone got odds on it?

Calling Verizon for this is pointless. They are uneducated about pretty much every release, update, etc. We almost always know way before a Verizon rep knows.

Just got off with HTC. Get this, the guy said they don't know when updates will begin pushed out, only that the Rezound is on the list for ICS Update. BUT, he did say it's possible that an update could push out tonight and to watch my phone because it will notify me... How the hell do they NOT know when their own phone will get a software update???
I'm tempted to load a leak, but I need all the functions on my phone to work and it seems to me that all these new "leaks" still have some issues ie: camera not working, 4G/3G radios not consistent, Wifi drops, tethering issues... I'm running an unlocked, S-on, rooted, stock GB and things are working.. so I guess I'll wait because If I do update, and I lose functionality, I cant go back.

My guess, and everyone's reply is a guess....Verizon is waiting on L to be released. No point in them spending millions getting us 4.4.4 or w/e lil patches there are out there. Verizon is the slowest carrier out there to give updates, so hopefully you have patience.
I don't really care about official updates. I just want the bootloader to get unlocked. If that happens, the devs will keep us up to date, better than Verizon does.

I seem to remember a patch or two on the V G2 when it first came out. Sometimes these bug patches do more than the big updates which usually lead to their own issues...
What does E offer that you're so anxious to get?
My G3 works great, all the features I expect work.
Is there something you're missing that E will solve, or is this just a symptom of crack flashing?
Not hurting for an update currently, everything is fast and stable.
Only update I'm waiting for is Android L (5.0 / Lollipop) which id expect us to receive that update from Verizon by February at the earliest... sadly... Android L will bring a lot to the table and improve the overall experience, any other update is just small bugs or security fixes.

Which is something that wouldn't be high on my list of priorities, since the VZW G3 gets better radio signal than did my G2 and Galaxy Nexus before it. I can comfortably leave my phone on data and not be concerned the battery will be dead by the time I leave work. The metal superstructure around the building plays hell with 3G/4G switching.

I have the 3G/4G switching issues quite often with mine. I gave my wife my SGS4 and it is rock solid at the same locations.
I have a LG Tone headset that was solid on the SGS4, but it cuts in and out on the G3 when it is in my pants pocket.
I had a SGS3 a few years ago and got it when it first came out. It had similar issues. The cell reception became a lot more solid with the first radio update and the bluetooth improved an update or two later.
I'm having issues with heat/screen dim when using bluetooth/nav (GPS)/screen on in the car (late afternoon sun).
From reading it looks like it's improved in the later firmwares.

I would avoid updates if you want your bootloader unlocked. They are working on unlocking B, and if you take an update you may inadvertently prevent yourself from taking advantage of the hard work thats going into the current unlock method. Wait for an unlock, there are many who believe its defiantly going to happen.

Saw this yesterday. I did not see any other posts about it, so I figured I would share!

We'll have to see! I skipped KitKat - didn't see what it offered that I don't have and am fully happy with on JB. But I'm aching for Lollipop, though I've already heard it's got some terrible redraw issues going on. Then again, I hear 5.0.1 dropped just the other day, so maybe that's already been addressed.
Thanks for the heads up about it! Maybe the Note 3 will see some Lollipop action after all!

I am beginning to think myself that I may be on of the first to be getting the lollipop update but I am under no circumstances going ota because I want to wait to see if someone finds a way I can update to lollipop and keep my root.
