Finally, I updated my Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 to XXUBMEA firmware. Based on SamMobile, there is lot of interesting new features in this update (for both I9505 & I9500). Too bad that I cannot receive OTA update or using Samsung Kies to upgrade because I am using custom kernel. Therefore, I need to install XXUBMEA firmware with Odin manually. Wow… Can’t wait to test out all the new features. Did you update?
XXUBMEA firmware features
- New Camera firmware
- Fixed Smearing issue
- Smart Pause Toggle
- Move to SD Card
- HDR Video
- Semi-transparent status bar
- New Icons in Settings
- Secure boot status at About Phone
- Increase legibility at Display
I am hoping for new camera firmware to fix slow loading Galaxy S4 camera & reboot issue. Still too soon to tell the result of the new camera firmware. So far no issue found on camera yet. Hopefully, it won’t. Why? It is really annoying when you try to capture the special moment and Galaxy S4 just reboot at that very precious moment. Err…
