Firmware update for brand new G7P

---

Hi all. I received mine in the mail today. Lots I like such as size weight build and speaker quality. Camera pretty decent too.

As I was setting up I noticed there was a flash of upgrade available but when I went to settings nothing happened on update. I swear I remember seeing to do the update there was a thread on how to do it but could not find it. Anyone remember?

Also I tried to side load the hbogo.apk from my atrix phone. Installs fine but then comes up with not compatible with this device. Am I missing something here as well. I'll keep reading.

I'm coming from the Asus TF.

Download and install Samsung Kies onto you pc and then connect your GT7+ to the pc with kies running. It will detect the GT7+ and tell you if you need to update the firmware and give you teh option to update it. Easiest way I know how to do it as I don't think updating is supported over wifi or 3g.

As for your app it sounds like it does not support Honeycomb and that is why it won't run. Your other devices are more than likely either running Gingerbread or Froyo.

sdelliott31 after you manage to upgrade your software on 7+ would you please come back to us with some information about the new firmware.

apparently it should be a 147MB file size bringing version EKL1 Android 3.2 Honeycomb and its for Wi-Fi US model.

can you confirm this? or anyone else?

I can't confirm the size but mine updated to the EKL1 update. I also had a pop up saying there was an update available the first time I turned on the device (a new one as I returned my original for SOD).
