Hello, I bought a Dell Venue 8, 3 days ago..
while I checked the android version, it says its still in 4.2..
I checked for updates and it says, it is up to date..
I saw a manual update but can't risk too much because its new.. any other ways to update to 4.4..
I saw people with 4.3 and 4.4 KitKat..
Why is it so? and only me?
And also when I use MapFactor Navigator for the Tab, it says searching for GPS.. and its the same with Google Navigation..
Why is it so? Is there a fix?
The touchscreen is also unresponsive sometimes..

Dell pulled all of the OTA updates because they were causing problems, and the touchscreen problem is a known issue, only way to update is to use SDC's toolkit

So, how do I use this?
And if Dell pulled back these.. it maybe buggy right?
Thanks for the reply..
I also found a way to use 3g modem in my tablet.. but the thing is that when I go to access point names and add a new APN, i can't get to save it.. why?
I just got my v8 back from dell after a hardware fix (cracking noise on the back of the tablet). Anyway, I had it OTA updated to 4.4.2 before I sent it to them and now it came back with 4.2.2... I hope they are going to push the update out again sometime soon with all screen or other issue fixed.

Is there an easy way to revert back from the latest ASUS update released on 2/8/12?
This update jacked up Youtube and I can no longer see additional wi-fi hotspots.

Ok...so first off, no, you can't roll back. We don't have recovery yet, so no.
Secondly, I believe the youtube problem has been found to not be the result of the update, but on their server side.
As far as the remaining problem, not sure I can help you there without more info.

Check Stifilz's All Sony Tab OTA Update Links
WOW that was fast!
Thanks
I hope they give us JB soon :fingers-crossed:
BTW did you root your tablet? i see people having problems in threads also it's confusing how people mix the Xperia with the tablet S
I wanna root the tab but i got it from B & H and it seems to have the splash proof issue or whatever it is, cuz the screen is a bit seprated from the back just a little bit near the multi connector... But Meh, it's more of a marketing gimmick IMO, i won't spill anything on it anyway soooo yeah...
Thanks again for the quick reply
Hi everyone,
release 6a is now available and it is supposed to correct VPN connection issues.
No mention from Sony of the unwanted powering off issues.
Ofiaich
Got it too but not worth updating, don't use VPN and can't be bothered to re-root!

Well no Crashes/resets or wifi disconnects yet!!:good:
Anyone noticed anything worth installing for?
Other than a placebo affect
anyone tried updating with preserved root? I noticed the update is a small one hence won't over write the system folder. so if anyone with rooted Xperia tablet S updated to release 6a, please share your experience. did you get to keep root after update.?

Nope, unfortunately not. Root is gone.
Haven't tried rooting it again, yet, but as Sony did something to VPN i don't think it will work.
were you rooted before update and after it was gone?!
Yes i was rooted before, and yes it's gone now.
I'm gonna try rooting it again soon, maybe tonight.
Powering Off Issue
Had the issue where it would shut down and sent it to Sony Support. They have since sent it back "fixed". I can't say if it's gone or not because I still need to pick it up from the post office. They said that it was a software problem and they fixed it (as well as replace the back cover). Will let you all know if it's gone. Perhaps hidden in the release 6a update is the fix for this?

I sent my Xperia Tablet S in for the same reason, all they did was replace the back panel, they claimed there were no software problems, but they have me unconvinced. It still shuts off randomly, mostly while watching something on the YouTube app. The update seemed to only have fixed the wifi disconnects, and VPN issues. I think it's something in the firmware that Sony needs to fix before the shut down problem will be fixed.
updated release6a probkem?

I'm seeing LRX21L & Q. Just received a N9 tonight. After the update I now have LRX21R.
Is this a new build or old?
This N9 is for my wife and it's staying stock. When I get mine, if this is a new build, do I need to wait for a new root method?
I currently have the L version. Perhaps, you have the newer update
Edit: I mean I currently have the Q.
I was running Q and when I got home tonight I was prompted to update to R. So I guess that's the most recent. Hopefully a fix for the WiFi issues.

We're running a 5gHz AC network. The N9 has a one brief disconnect. Feel pretty fortunate to have a solid N9. No flex, no light bleed. Extremely snappy.
Now I just have to learn how to root then adb for unlocking boot loader. WAY too much white in the UI. Burning my eyes.
OTA links
Posted the ota links for LRX21R in the other thread [REF] Nexus 9 Stock OTA URLs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56840199&postcount=131
Nice, I haven't really had any issues with my N9 barring WiFi at the office. At home, everything is groovy. At the office, it won't connect to our guest network but it does connect with authentication to our main network. Not really sure what the differences are behind the scenes. I was hoping the update would fix the guest connection issue.
Hi, I'm stock Q, no root but unlocked, I will receive R by ota or I have to sideload it ?
I'm still on L.

I had to manually update mine to Q and still nothing about R in Canada either.
I've gotten nothing about R here in the US
I got a 17MB update this afternoon. Here is the screen shot. LRX21R.
I'm getting disconnected from WiFi almost every 1/2hr.
Edit: I'm from Southern California. Also, Google posted LRX21R factory image.

I'm also in Southern CA, but still on L. I do the "Check Now" pretty often, turn it off and back on again once a day, and can't even get the Q OTA. I'm really curious about Google's rollout method.
Did you do anything to trigger either update? I'd factory reset, but I'm 11 hours into Battleheart Legacy which does not support Play Games.
On a side note, I received the Nvidia Shield Tablet Lollipop update at 6:30am this morning - just as Nvidia promised. C'mon, Google!
Nope, i don't recall doing anything differently other than plugging it in to charge at night. Went to work, got home and the update popped up. I never understand how OTA is pushed out so I can't make any assumptions.
I am however experiencing many wifi drops after the update. I have my phone and tablet side by side and both connected to my wifi. Only the tablet is getting wifi drops.
i was playing word feud on the tablet and the notification to R came in after 3pm PST. im in LA ca.
updated just fine.
Got the update yesterday in the evening, my location is Germany

Since no ota here in Italy (at least on my N9) I went by sideload and now I'm on R.
No OTA for now, I am still in L....
Hey guys I had my venue for several days now and I noticed that it skips time forward really fast, now is running two hours ahead and I just adjusted the clock yesterday night so I was wondering if anyone has any idea what is going on.
Thx.
Update to 4.4.4 and the problem is solved
Thx for the info, but it seems in my country the update is not available, talked to dell and tell me to wait for a couple of weeks 'cause the issue is been scalated.

Best to wait then, as firmware for you device might be different from what is available to US customers.
