Has anyone in Canada gotten the update yet? I haven't had either of the two recent updates, live in BC, I hit the refresh button looking for new updates nothing ever shows up.

The update will be available this week sometime. Also, the .13 update has been by passed and instead you will just go straight to .14
Canadian update is NOW .14 is...
Yep, didn't fix GPS
Yes, i just got the update this morning. So far so good but its to early to tell for sure if everything is okay.
Mind you i never had any problems before either so am keeping my fingers crossed.
Any Canadians here have a working GPS? With or without new update?

Did your update come down automatically, or did you have to do a system firmware update from about tablet. I am in Montreal and have not seen it come down automatically (C1OKAS serial number)
Thanks for responding in advance
I was on .11 with C10KOS WW SKU TFB (Wow that's not even English anymore ) and I did a manual check for system update around 8:15 AM EST and found the .14 update. Its a tiny download and I have been running it for about 1.5 hrs now with no problems.
- Wifi is better
- No random reboots or problems during update. Actually, I didn't have any of the problems listed on some of the threads with my TFB (i.e. Random Reboots, Screen bleeds, wifi or GPS problems).
- Didn't factory reset before or after the update.
Hope that helps
For Me:
WW Model (Canada)
Got the .14 update (prev had .11)
Not rooted
Prev: With heavy use about 1 reboot a day and it would always reboot after 20-22 min of watching netflix.
Did the update, didn't reset anything.
Was able to watch netflix for over 30 minutes without issue.
So far so good.
My GPS was very very weak from the beginning. Maybe 1 sat when outside. But I didn't buy a tablet for heavy gps use.
Just updated, no glitches, re-rooted with voodoo, checked setcpu and Im still at 1.6ghz
I have BCOKAS01, was on .11 with no problems except gps, rooted.
I'm stuck at 99% but will keep waiting. Running .11 right now.
I'm a C1OKA and despite a gps that has never seen a bird I've had no problems. My wifi is weaker than other devices in my home,but totally usable. The browser hangs a few times a day but only for a moment. I have no light bleeding or rebooting issues.
I must say i am happy so far. As long as firmware updates don't render my prime unusable I plan on keeping mine. Will update later.
I have been getting all updates the same day its out on the forums automatically without manual update checks. I have c1 bought from canada Computers
No prpblems until. 13 (reboots, sleep of death, and bad battery life)but now that I have been on. 14, there hasn't been any troubles
Took mine this morning. I hit the postpone button for 1 day but it popped up again 10 minutes later (and did the same the next two times I hit postpone) so I had no choice since I'm not rooted.
So far it seems to be at least as good as .11 though it hasn't been running for long.
I had absolutely no trouble on .11 either, which is why I didn't really want to update.
So far so good.

THe update has been installed but now my tablet doesn't boot ... infinite loop of going from Asus Loading screen with the spinner to the "Eee pad" screen ...
I'll try rebooting it in 5 minutes if it's still in this state, don't want to mess with the update
Edit : Even after factory reset, it still doesn't boot.
My only guess is that somehow the update ate up all the battery and now the system doesn't think there's enough battery to first boot after a firmware update ...
Will have to wait tonight to get my charger, hopefully it's this, otherwise it broke my tablet

Thanks, but that didn't help ... maybe waiting for the battery to run out and then charging it again will fix it ... otherwise I'm good for RMA

Ok updated fine after hanging at 99 percent dl for 15 mins. I've seen no noticeable change in function at all in last 90mins of use. No reboots or problems, yet. Fingers crossed.

Sounds like you have the US version. The WW versions did not go through the .13 update.
my WW model received update today
i got the update this morning to .14 from .12....so good so far.....
Hey guys!
I had a spanish S3, but because the constant freezing (I had the sudden death affected chip) the Samsung Service replaced the main board and the emmc and instead the PHE country code, my phone is getting the Austria Open updates now (ATO).
Last update came like 2 weeks ago. The weird thing is that the phone is very fast, no lag at all, very few touchwiz redraws, very good battery life (one day and half) and I have all the time over 200 mb free ram. I always had only 90-110 mb free, but after this last update the phone rocks. I have over 150 apps installed, over 29 like facebook, google plus, whatsapp, line, falcon pro, google currents, feedly and so on...full of widgets and no bloatware removed.
Looks like Sammy releases the phones in the worst optimization possible, but over the year makes it flawless.
Anybody experiencing the same ?
This is the memory the phone is using right now: http://i.imgur.com/rW0LUZc.png
I pull out the phone from the charger at 8:30 this morning, made 4 calls (2 minutes each) and talked like 5 minutes on Whatsapp, the phone is not in Power Save mode) and is connected by wifi. At 12:19 pm I still have 92% juice.
so your problem is that the phone is too good?
Firmware updates generally do give improvements. Not just security fixing :highfive:

Actually...yes...since the last update. Not sure if it's that particular OTA update or every new update received in the last month. I always complained that the phone have few free RAM memory and is lagging. Wondering.....it was the emmc and the motherboard which have done this trick or the last update ?
I'm asking because I have some friends whose phone is working horrible right now and they are wondering if they should give me their phone to root and flash it with this firmware or their problem is the emmc (sudden dead insane chip)

Note the problem Sudden dead dead as in not working .
Nothing you can flash for a dead phone .
Give you the phone to flash if they want but don't root it for no reason .
jje
Yeah....I will talk with them. I can flash without rooting. I'm curious how good will work this update on their phones.
Hi all, I have a weird issue that nobody else seems to be having (based on a forum post search). I recently bought 2 XT1528 Moto E's to set up for use with T-Mobile. They both came out of the box with 5.0.2 installed, and I was able to change the network settings to GSM and set the APN successfully to get it to use T-Mobile's network.
I then upgraded one of the phones to the 5.1 OTA update, but I started experiencing freezes on the 5.1 phone. This would occur intermittently, but essentially, the touchscreen would become unresponsive during use. If I pressed the power button once to lock the screen and once again to unlock it, the touchscreen would work again. It doesn't seem to be related to the phone lagging/becoming overburdened, because the background processes would continue to function even when the touchscreen is unresponsive (Youtube videos would continue to play smoothly, apps would continue to download and update, etc.). This would sometimes occur several times in several minutes (touchscreen becomes unresponsive after ~5 seconds of use), and sometimes it wouldn't occur for several hours.
Going back to the 5.0.2 device, this doesn't happen at all. I can't tell if this is a software or hardware issue, so I was wondering if anyone else had experience with this. If it's a software issue, is there a way to revert back to 5.0.2? It's also entirely possible that it's coincidental that the phone with the faulty hardware was the one that I upgraded to 5.1 (I don't recall if the 5.1 phone exhibited this behavior when it was on 5.0.2).
Has anyone else experienced this or something similar? I'm now a little scared to upgrade the other phone to 5.1 as well, in case this is a software issue. Thanks!
I have not heard of this issue occurring with this phone so perhaps yours has a defect. The 5.1 update released like a month or so ago and this issue hasn't been brought up before now. Any who..you will want to get a replacement at some point.

Thanks for the feedback. I definitely am getting a replacement for the 5.1 phone (if it is a software issue, I need another 5.0.2 phone anyway). I ended up taking the leap and upgrading the working phone to 5.1, and no issues so far, so it definitely looks like a hardware defect at this point. I'll keep an eye on the newly upgraded phone and see if it exhibits these issues. Will report back in a few days.
I have also experience freeze ups with the touch screen, brand new phone latest software with 5.1
Performing a factory reset (from android) seems to fix this on a device that was upgraded to 5.1
Mine happens on the last little bit near the bezel on the right side.
I factory reset 2x.

Is this confirmed as a widespread issue or a limited problem? I have an XT1528 on a Verizon MVNO and have avoided upgrading to avoid the problem.
TIA,

Bump, as I'm hoping someone has some thoughts on this.

This hasn't occurred for mine yet, so maybe it just happens to random devices with 5.1.

Hi, I bought a ZTE K92 (AT&T Primetime) tablet new and unlocked on eBay back in June 2018 for $149 and did not open it up or turn it on/set it up till just yesterday (10/6/18) because of a move to a new residence and I kinda forgot about it since I do have quite a few other devices and it was packed up in boxes I just never got to unpacking until recently. Anyways... I was hoping for a good experience since it had received good reviews and seemed like it was a fairly high speced tab, it is a nice device, unfortunately, at&t screwed it up with A LOT of they're bloatware apps, one named as "device help" continually reloads an icon on the home screen EVERY time I unlock the home screen! I've removed it a kajillion times and tried like hell to disable it but it's greyed out, tried to remove at&t associated files through my file mgr, but to no avail since I don't have root access. BUT... These are minor problems!...
MOST DISAPPOINTING/DEPRESSING is that I have *thin black/grey (depending on the background colors being displayed) lines on the entire screen/display, in normal (vertical) view mode the lines are *horizontal*, in landscape mode the lines are *vertical*, AND... they pulse on/off at a steady rate , as if it was related to the clock but at a slower rate, approximately on for 2 seconds, then off for 2 seconds continuously.
It has done this since first starting the tablet up new out of the box!
I have searched hell and high water to find the cause and or a fix, I've tried apps for screen issues, I've tried restarting, I've tried YouTube videos on how to fix, but nothing has worked and what's worse is i have not been able to find ANYTHING related to my exact problem, only problems with flickering or colored lines on they're screens!
The closest thing I found in relation to my exact problem was certain screens made for Lenovo tabs/laptops, but I don't think the ZTE K92 tablet has the same display as those devices?!?
I have not done a factory reset or a partition wipe as I don't think it will solve the problem.
I DO NOT really want to take the tablet apart to mess with the screen ribbon cables!
It's running 7.1 nougat stock, and I have dev options enabled/on, I've tried different settings under drawing and hardware acceleration settings but it had no effect.
I was wondering if there's a way I could get the tablet back to marshmallow O.S. for a fix, but again, I don't think that would solve the problem, I'm pretty sure it's a hardware/setting or calibration issue.
I did not find or attempt any firmware updates as I'm worried if I do and it doesn't solve the problem, I might not be able to undo the update, and I'm a firm believer in NOT updating, a don't fix what ain't broke kinda thing, yeah I'm old school.
In my opinion, I think it is a screen digitizer issue and I honestly don't know if there is a fix for this AND if I could find a *qualified* technician to fix it!?
This is really very annoying and sucks!
Is there not a single sole through XDA that knows about this type of problem AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, does anyone know how to fix it!?
P L E A S E ! ! ! This is such a shame for this tablet as it is a really nice device.
As I'm rooted, I have to manually check for updates via xperifirm. There was an upsated released: version 64.1.A.0.913.
Anybody updated and tested? Apparently camera apps have been updated! Any new features?
I wont get time to update yet, just thought I'd ask.
Thanks
Unless I'm mistaken, this update allows you to switch from android 12 to android 13
Huh we have android 13 for months now ...so i would say no .
Its for sure a security patch.
Chinese 72 got it 2 weeks ago , european 54 got it a week ago and US has to wait for another two weeks , i wish it would be all at the same time .
Hello,
The only feature I expericence since the upgraded is the "phone too hot warning" issue. I use the phone since late november without any trouble.
For the latest week, the phone displayed the orange warning sign and closed the camera app maybe 10 times. It couldn't even go through a 10 minutes google meet call...
It may not be related to the latest release, and I may be the only one having this issue...

Yeah, you're right about security patch. Thought perhaps something has trickled down from the new phone releases, like improved camera apps as they have changed their version numbers. Thanks

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I will update in a few days and see if I have the same issue. Though tbh, I havent had as many issues as some have, perhaps because of root and cleaning up some bloat and adding in adblockers etc.
You should do a full all apps cache wipe and see if that helps.

I had overheating problems with meet and 5g i was outside but on older different firmware.
You also have to understand now its summer time (probably in your country too) so you cant really compare november temperatures with current ones unless you did that in room with AC on.
I'm on the latest US version so still waiting for our update for this cycle. But since my last update, the phone has been very warm to the touch during normal use and I've seen the heat warning many times while using camera. I have never seen it before. Battery life is crap now too and used to be fantastic. Maybe you guys lucked out last month and the US version got whatever it was to cause the heating issues first? My last update was around 300mb so it was bigger that usual I think.

I had that sometimes on .891 ,couldnt get it to work no matter what but it goes away eventually with restarts .
Edit: i just got the .913 and qr reader works fine. Been using my phone before that for 2 hrs and no overheating ,after installing 913 and checking camera apps for 1 minute my top part of the screen got extremly hot but didnt show any overheating warnings.nothing changed so far in camera related apps (no portrait mode)
