Latest Samsung Ativ S firmware updates

[Dusan Randj]

Just wondering how do you opt out of PfD? Is it via the Windows Phone Recovery Tool?

No, sadly Windows Phonee Recovery tool is just for Nokias/Lumias, it's just Lumia Software Recovery tool, but renamed.
I did unchecked in the PfD app, that's what I mean. But later I flashed back GDR2 as described in the first post.

So guys, is it safe to update to latest PfD now without any tinkering? Can someone confirm?

 

[grozaman]

Yes, with the latest firmware update you can safely update to 14219.

First 'bug'? Or it's just me?

"AccuWeather - Weather for Life" - application does not work with the new firmware :-(

(8.1.1, no PfD, latest Samsung firmware)

edit: Thanks nauman73. It's sad, I love this app. Must wait for update, I guess :-(

Have not used this application before. Just installed now to check, and it is not working (crashes immediately after start). No PfD, latest firmware.

Works fine on mine, just installed to check this. Doesn't crash, but i don't use it, I am using Vieather. I'm on Official 8.1.1, no PDF.
OS Version: 8.10.14157.200
FW Version: 2424.14.9.4

 

[tofmin]

Yep, with 2424.14.9.4 works like a charm. With new one, app crashing...
Thanks guys for your time!

Boris, the issue is probably with the particular application, i.e. "AccuWeather - Weather for Life", and not with all weather applications. Vieather is running fine on my set while "AccuWeather - Weather for Life" is not.

Oh you mean, with the new one that some users on ATO got it? Yeah, i haven't got that update yet, I am on NEE.

You have been forgiven LOL

Yes, with the latest firmware released couple of days ago (which I have got as well), the "AccuWeather - Weather for Life" app is crashing.

Can some one confirm bootloop is gone with last FW? I read this in polish the forum. If it is gone i want to change reg key to receive Cortana in Italian without change any file

 

[grozaman]

YES. The latest FW solved problem with bootloop. How many times to repeat?

 

[megadragon998]

Lol guys, such an *****, i already have .306 installed because i had PfD turned on when receiving update from samsung so it installed automatically

 

[grozaman]

If you want to get the latest FW you can simply change one key at register.
HKLM\SYSTEM\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\PhoneMobileOperatorName
Change to "000-AT". After that go and check update.
This is hack works only on DNI3. DNI4 doesn't get update. You can find this in Diagnosis using *#1234# code.

If you don't know how to edit.

 

[cedogares]

Yes, with the latest firmware update you can safely update to 14219.

With data in action center? How do i do that? I got official 8.1 then switched to PfD to get 8.1.1 and now i'm stuck on 14203.306 ..

Hello, i am a developer for AccuWeather, and I was just reading through this thread. I was hoping you guys who are experiencing the issue would be able to help me out with a few more details.

1) Can you confirm for me, that the application was working fine prior to the updated firmware
2) Post firmware update, the application would crash immediately
2a) Would the spash screen (AccuWeather on a light blue background) show ?
3) What version of the application is currently crashing
4) Have you tried to uninstall and re-install the application from the store?

Thanks much guys, and i will be working to get this resolved as soon as possible.
