johnr: update steps Samsung Korea --> carrier testing --> Samsung Korea --> Kies / OTA I think road map should be like this: Samsung Korea --> carrier testing --> Samsung Korea --> Tentative Queue --> CBF --> JB4.1 --> Kies / OTA

I'm sure, since VFNZ are such big players in world telecoms :/, that as soon as their firmware is approved it is rushed on to the Samsung servers.....(not). The massive success of the S3 works against it in this case. There is finite server capacity, we are a minor market, so we are 'served' when they have the capacity to do it. Thanks @JohnR for finally putting a time scale (10 days) on part of the process. Unless there is a requirement for confidentiality for commercial reasons, being open about likely time scales would go a long way to quieting a lot of the discontent being voiced. While there will always be people who take indications as hard and fast promises, the rest of us just want to know there is something happening. Areas of Geek interest: Home Theatre, HTPC, Android Tablets & Phones, iProducts.

I'm finding the Google restore pretty reliable after a reset. No need to use titanium now. Everything gets restored with no problems. In the past it would restore apps from way back but now seems to be only recent apps, maybe as of the last reboot? Currently on pre-release XXDLI4 Jelly Bean. Very nice. - Telstra HTC Touch Pro2 - Energy ROM WM6.5.5 20 Oct/Cyanogen Mod Froyo 2.2 - R.I.P - AT&T Galaxy S Captivate 16GB on XT (now with brother) - Samsung Galaxy S2 on XT- Runs ICS 4.0.3 Resurrection Remix 9.2 - Business Hours - Work In The Electricity Industry, After Hours - DJ/Turntablist - Will Scratch Vinyl For Free' - What's next??? S3?

I turned on my phone this morning and was greeted with a pop-up window saying that there was an update available form my "Samsung Account". I told it to go ahead and update, which it did, but after the update I didn't get anything else (I was expecting maybe something that told me what the update did or what was new). Did anyone else get this? Anybody know what it's about?

Just the apps I sometimes use Advanced Restore from CWM to restore apps and app data from the backup after a flash and wipe. - Telstra HTC Touch Pro2 - Energy ROM WM6.5.5 20 Oct/Cyanogen Mod Froyo 2.2 - R.I.P - AT&T Galaxy S Captivate 16GB on XT (now with brother) - Samsung Galaxy S2 on XT- Runs ICS 4.0.3 Resurrection Remix 9.2 - Business Hours - Work In The Electricity Industry, After Hours - DJ/Turntablist - Will Scratch Vinyl For Free' - What's next???

Android version is 4.0.4 Baseband version is I9300XXLF2 I'm not sure what the update was, it just said it was an update to my "Samsung Account" and it didn't reboot the phone after the update like the last update I had did. I do have a Samsung account set up, mainly so I can track the phone if it's stolen.

My guess is just Samsung App update? Or software on Samsung Apps store update.
