Alright, so I've already read the threads about Wifi Sharing dominating the SGS2's battery and it seems like updating the firmware of the phone somehow fixes this.
So heres my problem: I'm on OSX and I can't use Samsung Kies. I can actually use Kies AIR but I can't seem to figure out how to update the firmware.
Apparently my firmware is "KG2" so I'm wondering how I could update my firmware without access to a windows machine. In case I'm already on the latest firmware (which seems logical since I just bought the phone like a week ago), is there any way to stop Wifi Sharing from starting every time I enable Wifi?
I would really appreciate a solution that didn't involve Rooting.
Thank's a bunch guys!

i am afraid without root you wont be able to acces or disable any system file mate.
the only way is rooting (or wait ages for update - oficialone) - if you arent sure what to do ask and u will get help. there are more apps that may produce high battery drain from stock.
So is my version the latest? Also, Why would this be fixed in a previous version but then back again in a latest?

i am running KH3 that is the latest firmware i know. KG2 can be the latest released by your network provider. so if u wanna keep the phone with the latest u can upgrade with ODIN or once u will flash CWM - clockworkmode u can do so with it. but u will need to root the phone ofc.
but KG2 is not the latest for unlocked simfree phone.
wifi sharing is a high battery drainer - and i have removed that form my phone also togheter with the samsung HUBS and a bit more. and i am getting more then double out of my phone compared to stock i was running before mate.
I see. Thanks for the replies!
what exactly did you remove as i see 3 thing relating to wifi sharing
I am on the 210 leak and was wondering if anybody knows whether or not I will still get the OTA updates or not. Thanks.
My best guess is no, you won't. The .211 official leak is everywhere and is relatively easy to sideload. That's the one you want to be on.

That's what I figured since when I go to system updates it tells me that my device is up to date. I know I could get .211 but wanted to avoid having to do a wipe of the phone. thanks.
Okey, I'm not aware if this has been mentioned before, but as soon as I installed the unlocked JB WW rom I get an asus firmware update for my dock and it wants to update my system?
Is this save or not save to do? (since I'm aware asus updates can **** up ur prime when your bl is unlocked..) but am not sure about this one..
with regards, Hawkysoft
nvm, did it and all still works properly
I'm curious as to why I DIDN'T get notified to update. What version is the dock supposed to be at? I am currently showing TF201-DOCK-0207
Is that the latest, or does anyone know if there is a manual update to get the latest?
Hello there,
I have this Asus ME302C that I have no idea what to do with. It has some kind of custom rom on it. However I have no way of getting the firmware version off of it to re-root it or make it like factory again. It's running on 4.3 but when I go to about and in the settings the build number does not say the firmware like it should. Just says something about local build. It does say 4.3 Jss15Q WW_epad_Local_build with a 20130415 at the end.
I'm kind of at a loss. Is there any way I can figure out what the firmware version actually is? Or is there an easy way to restore the thing? I tried KingoRoot and it failed, but did say it was infact rooted.

my phone camera is not working it has been displaying "updating camera firmware, please wait" but it never works. so i decided to try and update the firmware from 5.0 to 5.1, maybe that would fix the problem.. but i cant seem to find the update for my phones build(which is I9505GUEUDNL3 with a kernel version of 3.4.0) on sammobile, iv even tried some of the versions for the i9505, but there were always errors like"aboot.mbn and NAND writestart".
im at my wits end on this, i havent been able to use my camera for months now, please anyone with a solution please help
