AT&T Cell Phones: How do I update my Samsung Galaxy Note to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich?
Samsung Galaxy Note™ Android 4.0 ICS Upgrade
Android™ 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade is available for the Samsung Galaxy Note™ (SGH-i717).
Follow these download instructions carefully.
Android 4.0 Explained*
*Please note: not all features on your device will have the ICS features explained in this article.
What's New
Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is the latest version of the Android platform for phones, tablets, and more. It builds on the things people love most about Android — easy multitasking, rich notifications, customizable home screens, resizable widgets, and deep interactivity — and adds powerful new ways of communicating and sharing.
Premium Suite Enhancements
This collection of apps is designed specifically for the S Pen™ and has new features that will improve your Galaxy Note experience and productivity.
S-Note Productivity Tool
Formula Match: Features math formula recognition and auto calculation. Write a formula or math equation and Note will convert it into an easy-to-read text version. You can even look up different equations and answers via WolframAlpha.com. Looking for the answer or what your equation looks like as a line graph? Press the Search (question mark) button.
Shape Match: Provides automatic shape correction. Draw a rough sketch of a triangle and Note converts it to a clean, clear triangle. Color in your shapes using the S Pen tool.
Knowledge Search: Takes your handwritten words and questions and looks for the answers. Write a word or phrase and Note will look for it on the Internet via WolframAlpha.com. After you finish writing, simply press the Search (question mark) button.
My Story App (Available for download in Samsung Apps)
Experience enhanced personal communication with S Pen's expressive features, creative templates and a variety of multimedia tools. Share your personal story by writing a letter or card and creating multimedia albums you can send to anyone. Available for download in Samsung Apps.

This enhanced widget allows you to instantly select your desired S Memo input function directly from the home screen. The content you create can be uploaded to Evernote® and Google Drive™, and downloaded in its native format.
Back Up Your Information
This software update was designed to apply an update to the operating system of the device while leaving certain types of user data intact, including pictures, videos, and contacts. To be safe, it is best practice to always back up all data in the event that your information is lost.

What to Expect after the Update

Application Menu: The application menu sorting, folders and home keys will be reset. Downloaded applications will be preserved.
Contact Groups: All Contacts and Contact groups will remain. However. contacts within the contact groups will be removed.
Email: Email accounts that were added as a Social Hub or Samsung premium account will be removed.
Music: Music playlists and settings (Equalizer, Sound effect, Music menu) will be reset during the update.
Bluetooth: Paired bluetooth devices will be removed during the reset.
Note: Your SIM card and any external microSD™ memory card may remain installed during this update. You may remove either or both prior to beginning the process, if desired. Remember to re-install both after the update process has completed.
How Do I Check My Current Software Version?
From any home screen touch Menu > Settings > About Phone.
Scroll to the bottom and look for Baseband Version. It should be I717UCLA1 before updating. It will be I777UCLF6 after the update.

Yes you lose Root and your apps on your internal space. So you might want to move everything over to your external SD card or your PC or both.
Kies Doesn't Work
When I execute Kies, The phone is recognized yet Kies says that I can't update through Kies. It's weird. Anyone know where the actual stock file/odin is?

If you upgrade to the official release, you won't have your custom rom any more.
I feel like the battery life is slightly worst than gb. I'll have to let it charge back up and find out. Anyone getting better battery life or worst battery life?

I got the AT&T text last night about this
Chuckled a little bit as I deleted it! I've had ICS for about two months now! Why go back to the bloat of AT&T? Thank you King Kang ROM!!! I've got 1.60GB available of the internal memory! That includes the ROM and my apps! If I remember right, that's about 1/3 of what it was before I rooted and ROMed!:victory:
So glad you posted this info. Saves me from having to search and to read the other 18 threads with the same info.
Your late to the party man, everyones gone home

Got the Q and the Q freezes up on me

I tried the Q on the in the NY store and was sold the moment i put in on. But now that i start to play around with it I'm experiencing some issue's. First and foremost is that I installed a new watch-face (world-timer) to add timezone support and it seems to freeze every now and then after that. How can i troubleshoot watch freezes and how can i uninstall the watch-face ? - i really want this to work.
Remove it from android wear
To uninstall a watch face find it in your phone's apps and select uninstall just like you would for any other app.
The Founder and Tag are the only Intel Wear devices out right now so there are some compatibility issues with certain apps and faces. I'm not sure if this is the case but keep it in mind.
Are you using the 1st Gen FossilQ Founder? (None swappable wrist bands)
What build number are you on? (Settings -> About -> Build number)
I believe the latest is M1D65G with Android wear 1.5.0.3686357 with Android version being 6.0.1.
If you're not on the latest then updating should help with the lag issues as when I first got this watch it lagged a lot but after many updates it has gotten better!
Hopefully we get Android Wear 2.0 as now the new Fossil watches have snapdragon processors and this version has the Intel Atom chip.

Apps Shortcut in Razr 2019

Hello All,
I am seeing that Android 10 Razr got an update for new options in Quick View display. i. e 8 default apps.
"The Quick View display includes easy access to eight preselected apps: Camera, Messages, Calculator, Keep, Google News, Google Home, and YouTube. But you can customize the feature so that the apps of your choice run on the display with your phone closed."
i am not seeing this in my 2019 Razr, is it only for the 2020 model? How to get this option, does anyone have it in their 2019 phone with the Android 10 update?

Problem with P20 lite and Android Auto app

Hi
First time post in this forum - hope someone can help me.
Just getting back to driving after lockdown and have noticed a problem with using Android Auto app. My P20 lite connects to the cars Infotainment system using USB cable via Android Auto app. I use this for navigation using Google maps, I also use Telegram for messaging, and VCL or Spotify for music.
When Android Auto loads, the Launcher function, which allows you to choose whichever app you want does not work and you are stuck with whatever app you last used. The area where other app shortcuts should be displayed is blank. One time in 10, it will work normally. My car is a 2017 Skoda Octavia estate with a Bolera head unit. Here are the things I have done so far to try to remedy the situation :
1 Replace the USB cord (twice)
2 Update the head-units firmware /software to the latest version
3 Update all phone software - Maps, and all other software to latest versions
4 Tried 2 other Android devices* both worked OK
* ( Google Pixel 3a with Android 11,Samsung S2 tablet with Android 7 and my P20 running Android 9)
5 I have also disabled most Huawei apps and the Huawei ID - anything which ad the ability to work over other apps or had the ability to write its own settings.
Now I'm out of Ideas. Any help much appreciated
