Do you know if it's carrier dependent? I'm on straight talk and I'd love to be able to get the update, but I don't know if I'd be able to.

From what he said they are doing it and then it would go through at&t so it sounds like both would be involved if you could can you revert back to at&t to get it and then go back to ST?

Do you think I could just put the AT&T SIM that came with the phone in, and revert to the default apn, and get the software update that way, or would it have to be an active AT&T SIM?

YOU KNOW WHAT THAT SHOULD ABSOLUTELY WORK USING THAT SIM FROM AT&T AND WI-FI I'VE NEVER SEEN WHERE
THEY CHARGE MONEY AND AFTER YOUR DONE DOWNLOADING IT YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO INSTALL IT WITH NO PROBLEMS AND THEN JUST SIMPLY REVERT BACK TO STRAIGHT TALK

So I've been periodically checking the software update in settings, and the other day I did receive and install an update, but I have absolutely no clue what the update actually did. Anyone know anything about this?

That's funny you say that. I have been searching day in and day out about if/when we would get lolli for this thing. Found this post so I was excited the next day figured why not try to search for an update and it said update available.. I got really stoked ..it downloaded it installed then rebooted .. I was like cool let me check.. Said Android 4.4.2.. Ahhhhhh.. So yeah I don't know what it was for . I searched forums and all and nothing.

according to AT&T...
Facebook API update
RAM improvements
Removes Famigo
Updates Amazon Kindle app
Id post the link, but i don't have the credibility.
I've been fighting with my phone just so i can get the update. When i rooted the thing, and froze some apps, apparently something changed in ASUSmirror, and its not letting the update through.
I'm stuck trying to get around the issue. i cant even find a way to make a backup with TWRP or clockwork mod. TWRP doesn't support the device, and ROM manager wont install it because it doesn't support it either. I'd love to try a few other ROMs on this thing until an official Lollipop ROM comes down the pipe, or a custom one comes out that lets me use the pad AND have LTE.

I will say that I've noticed higher ram usage, but better utilization with the update. That is based on my observation that I've gotten less random app closures while multitasking. Before if I was listening to Pandora and opened my browser or Facebook, it would close Pandora in the background.

It's something called "IntelAndroid-FBRL-07-24-2015" -- I think you can find it if you search the forum. Make sure you have ADB installed.
If you run it from Launcher.bat and choose option P4 with CWM from the first menu, it boots into Clockwork Mod. From there, you can install SuperSU from your /sdcard path (or some subfolder) and you're set. Just make sure it's at /SDCARD and not the /Removable/MicroSD path, so you may need to use the file explorer to get it there.
Lauren
BUT install a program called "Root Booster" ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ram.memory.booster.cpu.saver ) and pay for Stability Boost. You'll find your PadFone mini crashes a lot less after doing this and uninstalling some apps. Use Jumobile's System App Remover (ROOT) to uninstall some of the AT&T bloatware (Famigo is a good one to remove first).... it has a recycle bin so it can reverse if you remove something in error providing you don't REALLY mess it up.

my nexus s will not update

hello. i have a problem updating my nexus s firmware. my current version is 2.3.1 the problem is when i try to do a wi-fi over the air update nothing happens. by that i mean my nexus does not even check the server at all and no option is given to scan for an update. i never had this problem with my htc desire so i'm at a complete loss here. can someone please help. sorry i forgot l'm in the uk.

Just flash a custom ROM or AOSP Crespo ROM. If your ROM is the one that you got with your phone then it should have no trouble updating. I don't know when Gingerbread checks for updates but I remember when I first got my phone it updated pretty much straight away.
Regardless, flashing to a stock or custom ROM would probably be your best bet as, from what I've heard, Google will be pushing OTA updates to the Nexus S for ICS soon anyway.

Try pushing it. Set the date for a year down the line and leave the phone for an hour.

In my phone also i was not getting any update .
The phone was bought it from USA , which is a factory unlocked T Mobile Nexus S and the same is using in India, through Vodafone.
What i done was, changed my SIM to the T-Mobile which came along with the pack and immediately i got a system up-gradation message. Now enjoying ICS.

Google Now on ICS

You may have already seen this but if not, XDA member febcyv has managed to get google now working with ICS.

I have not tried this on my TF300 yet, but if anyone else has I would be eager to find out how you got on.
Good luck and enjoy
Just installed it, and everything wet smoothly. I have no idea what I am expecting now though, it appears to have just replaced the search bar. Nothing different seems to have happened so far.
Edit: I had to install the modified Velvet-theos0o.apk file in order to get it to work properly. Voice search isn't working but that seems to be a common issue.

if you search factual questions it should now bring up "knowledge cards" with your answer rather than a google search.
Also try holding home and dragging up, it may open "google now" which is supposed to act a bit like your PA and learn your routine
I'm also doing a bigger more widespread port of this over in the android development>apps and games section
We have both a flashable .zip and an .apk. It has a strong effort into getting voice to work. If you want check it out. Go ahead!

Is there any versions out for non-rooted devices? Don't feel too good rooting my new device, would lose the quarantee
Unlocking voids warranty, rooting doesn't.
It says that it requires a "A Rooted device running ICS AOSP Rom". I'm rooted but NOT unlocked and therefore NOT running a custom ROM.
This won't work for me. Right?

Im not 100% sure, but I would imagine that the stock ROM is close enough to AOSP for it to work.
I think it probably would work, but you may want to wait for someone else to confirm

I'm the head of one of the Google Now for ICS projects and you can probably install this normally. Just make sure not to delete your original "GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk" file. Just rename it and have it on hand to put back if anything goes wrong.

Installing "Unsupported" apps

Hi guys
I've had a look around and understand that I'll need to edit the 'build prop' so that my device is recognised as another phone in order to have a more widespread choice of apps.
I want to install Need for Speed most wanted but the application cannot be found in the Play store and installing via the web based Play store is not allowed due to the app not being supported.
It makes me wonder how many other apps I could be missing out on!
Would anyone be able to recommend the changes to make as I don't want to make any mistakes and also how to go about making changes - I know this currently can't be done via a file explorer and probably has to be done via recovery.
Can anyone help?
Thanks.

Are you running custom or stock? And just throwing this out that I'm pretty sure NFS doesn't work on our phones. A review I watched showed that it just displays a black screen.

I am guessing that whether stock or rooted, by installing apps from unknown sources, you are betting (praying, might also help) that some nefarious developer out there is not smart enough to leave some "cool" bug on your device.
But I'm not positive by any means, either.
Don't know what OS you're running but both NFS run great on HD2 Ansar 8773 ROM (and in years of sideloading apps I've yet to encounter some mythical '"cool" bug' - even in WM6.5 but least of all in the protected WP7 OS..Android is a different story!)

Not able top update phone?

I have had the AT&T HTC One for about 4 months now and it has never found a system update. I now know that the Kit Kat update is available, but again my phone tells me there is no update available and that it is up to date when I know it is not. I live in the US and I know others have gotten the update so I am not sure if something is wrong with the device or what...I am still on Android version 4.1.2 and HTC Sense version 5.0.
I have checked for the update while on Wi-Fi and still noting it says it is up to date. Is it possible I have just yet to receive it or is there something else I should try. or a way to get the upgrade manually?
Thanks
PS: sorry if I posted in the wrong section

Try setting your clock a few months ahead. That has worked for some.
Gave that as hot and still nothing. My phone will occasionally start searching for an update but it will do it for hours and never find anything...not sure if its the phone or the update. I have read there were glitches. And I have read that some people have had it available one day and it was gone the next.could it have been removed to work out bugs? Or do I need a new SIM maybe? Seems like no update works.

No not really
It may be easier to get s-off with your current 4.1.2 setup but if your not interested in being unlocked and rooted you can just take the Signed RUU followed by the OTA.
The signed RUU is a windows app ..you can get it here
http://dl3.htc.com/application/RUU_...13_10.38j.1157.04_release_334235_signed_2.exe
Or you could just go to the store and get a new SIM.
My One (got it from Best Buy in the fall) wasn't updating, no matter what I tried (factory reset, changing the date, re-locking my bootloader). I read on another forum about someone getting a new SIM. When I went to the AT&T store this morning, I told them that I called Tech Support and they told me to come in and get a new SIM. They switched it out, no problem. The funny thing was, the guy remarked that my SIM (from Best Buy) looked a little different. Sure enough, I could tell it was colored a little different.
I get home and the OTA started downloading the second I connected to my WiFi (battery has to be over 50% - mine was around 90% due to just coming off car charger).
I'd go the new SIM route first, just to save yourself the hassle of reloading/reinstalling everything on your phone.

CAN'T Update AT&T HTC One(M7) 4.4.2!

So I recently bought an unlocked AT&T HTC one M7 still running 4.3.
I know that 4.4.2 is out with sense 5.5 and I have been unable to do this update OTA.
I've research forums and read that I could possibly use something called RUU(ROM Update Utility) to flash the 4.4.2 update onto my phone and need to confirm if this is possible.
Also, my phone is NON rooted and I also need to know if I'm still able to use RUU without rooting my phone?
If you care about rooting and installing custom roms I wouldn't update to 4.4.2 yet. You can s-off yet on the 1.56 hboot and install custom roms on the HTC one international subforum. If you don't then you can install the update thru your phone. Also another thing to mention is you can flashed the stock 4.4.2 Rom if you unlocked bootloader and install custom recovery

Do not update
I have recently got an update OTA with my AT&T HTC One, which got it to 4.4.2 with HTC Sense 5 but whatever you do do not update your phone, yet. After I got this update, my phone got bricked because of this. I have issued the Repair with HTC which all they need to do is replace the mainboard, but do not get this update if it's available yet until HTC fixes there HTC Sense, as HTC Sense was also the main reason for my phone bricking its self. Just a heads up it's only as 60% chance of this happening to all users with the AT&T Model

Did AT&T pull the update then? I've been wondering why my AT&T HTC One hasn't received this update yet and have been looking in to installing it myself. Maybe I'll wait.
I had that problem too a while back. Try contacting AT&T through chat (or calling them) and tell them that you need the update pushed to your phone. They will give you a code to put into your dialer that will tell the server that you need the update pushed to you.
Hope this helps!

I already tried that and claimed that they didn't have the ability to do that. No idea why. I tried doing a check in with Google and I even tried clearing the Google services framework. Which I know I'm not supposed to do but tried it anyway. I'm new here and I am having a tough time finding a simple walkthrough on getting the OTA update installed manually.
