T-Mobile Halts Optimus L9 Jelly Bean Update (Build P76920d)

Posted by in LG, News, Optimus L9, T-Mobile

Uh-oh. According to a support doc released yesterday, T-Mobile has paused the Optimus L9's update to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean because of the new software's less-than-stellar stability. Several users have reported significant battery drain, difficulty receiving calls, and frequent app crashes. Accordingly, T-Mobile wants to "improve performance" before resuming the OTA upgrade.

T-Mobile announced and began rolling out the Optimus L9 Jelly Bean upgrade on April 22nd, so it's somewhat surprising it took so long to identify problems with the update. Still, better late than never.

As far as ETAs go, T-Mobile unfortunately doesn't know when the fixed update will begin rolling out.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 TouchWiz UX Update Halted "To Assess Progress And Ensure It's A Positive Experience"

Posted by in Galaxy Tab 10.1, News

So, here's a new one: Samsung has apparently halted the TouchWiz UX update for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in order to "assess progress and ensure it's a positive experience for customers." We're not entirely sure what that means on a realistic level, but I'll go out on a limb and assume they found some sort of bug -- possibly one that is making some Tabs unusable by scrambling the graphics.

Naturally, since no real reason was given, we pinged once again to see if we could get more info -- like before, no details.

At this point, we can only speculate what the issue could be -- but if you're a Tab 10.1 owner that has yet to get the TouchWiz UX update, now you know why.
