CAUTION:
All Galaxy SIII have seen since Google Play now offer an update for "Samsung WDH Dongle Upgrade" at this address:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5zZWMuYW5kcm9pZC5md3VwZ3JhZGUiXQ..
I strongly discourages owners of this phone to do this update until Samsung confirms that this utility comes right from home.
Indeed, we can see that this application is signed by Samsung is saying except that the email address of the developer on the Google page play is nothing other than:
samsung.ota.upgrade @ gmail.com
Not to mention that Samsung offers updates by Samsung and not Google Apps Play. Not to mention also that this is not the usual account of Samsung which is used to provide this update!
In short, there are many indications that it would surely be an application riddled by a wise guy that tries to exploit a flaw in the GS3.
Expect to learn a little more before you jump in this update ...
Google Traduction !

Mine auto-updated, uninstalled now though.

Paranoid or what?
Any application that is updated has to be signed with the same key and certificate as the previous version. Seeing as the previous version came already on the phone, it's safe to assume this update comes from Samsung.

Just because it's signed doesn't mean it's safe.

Are you sure? Email Developer - [email protected][U]gmail.com[/U]

Just got this notification to upgrade on my phone as well. Its unlike Samsung to send updates without going through their usual distribution channels. I skipped the upgrade, hopefully this is not the beginning of someone hacking all the Galaxy S3 phones worldwide.

help please. How can I reinstall wdh update after updating a ROM without that update? Could someone share the update please cuase it's impossible to redownload from google play store...

This Update is on Play No Longer Available.

A Samsung employee confirmed this was legit on his twitter feed.

Where is the tweet please?
The apps was taken off the Google Play store. Is it a malware??

Look for samsung John on twitter it was in reply to someone asking him.
The app (if you took a look at it) has been signed with the same key as the file it replaces so it was always likely to be real.

I received this update yesterday. It was installed e visible in app list on Application Manager, but early morning, it disappeared from list and Google Play.

Apparently ICS has supposed to of been sent

Just called today (Jan 7) to ask about my software issue with auto rotate and he asked why I am still on honeycomb. I said ICS comes on the 12th. He said "no, make sure your logged into gmail account and you should be getting the update." Has anyone received an update?

Who did you call? I am always logged into gmail and still rocking HC. No ICS update, and from what i have been reading its def not suppose to be coming out till the 12th.
Agreed with above...if this was hitting devices already, XDA would definitely start reporting it.
this thread sucks and needs to be deleted.
nope
sorry i just checked and nothing for me neither

Called who?
did he call a Best Buy floor manager?

Called Asus support to submit for repair. The man claimed that I should wait instead of sending it back and to expect the update shortly. He was American also. So whoever says delete thread, go flame a bag of ****. I am just sharing the word.

My guess is it was his way of avoiding work and ending a phone call.

It's already been reported here from an official statement from ASUS that the ICS update for the Transformer Prime won't start until the 12th of this month.
Maybe so, I even said no it's the 12th and he got confused. So whatever, was just checkin. Thanks for the responses
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I want ICS and i hope it comes with chocolate ice cream in the middle.
Maybe he was just keeping u from sending ur unit in and making u believe that there was an update. The 12th will be here soon and we will get our ics then.
However this is my first tablet so hc is so nice compared to this gb phone!
Nvidia always!
False Alarm! this made me stop what I was doing to check. its a no go. if by anychance it does release earlier, whoever gets it make a thread in CAPS to let everyone know its here.
Classic to the person who said did we find this out from Best Buy Floor manager...lmfao.
Nothing for me yet either. I don't see anything wrong with this thread since the title doesn't say it HAS been release just apparently it was supposed to be.
He was just reporting what ASUS told him not some guy at the local store.
if ICS was pushed early.. I am 100% sure we would see 100000 threads here going OMGWTFBBQ!!11!! ICS IS HERE.. andddd last time I checked I just saw a bunch of [Q] threads in the wrong place.. thats all..
Yeah you can never trust what any rep or store employee tells you!
Unless it is an offical announcment its not okay to post about rumors!

Security issue with Google account..

Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else, or if anyone has any ideas about what I should do.
I recently discovered that somehow a coworker of mine company credit card, in which I have no access to, was attached to my google wallet account.. Several of my android market purchases were being charged to the card without my knowing. I talked to someone at the android Market help center, and was told that if he made a purchase with that card from an online company that uses Google checkout to process their orders, and I had logged into my account on that computer recently than the card and the account could get linked. How about could this be! Doesn't seem very secure to me. Obviously this is causing problems for me at work, and I'm having a hard time getting answers from Google. Any ideas? Thanks for reading. Feel free to pm me.

yes, it can happen on the company proxies, as in your IT is keeping an eye on everyone in the company using the internet

Android market is who you contact not XDA ..
jje
Exactly.
Contact Google, contact the dev. Does not require a post on XDA because there's nothing anyone here can do about it. Besides, I doubt losing the $2.50 is going to send you broke in any event.
Just contact whoever you have the problem with.

Google account disabled!

For some reason my Google account had been disabled! When I go to the website and try to fix it, it just keeps looping thru the help. I can't access my Google store, gmail. Etc. Any ideas?

Had the same issue, emailed them and about 6 hours later it was fixed...something about my account was compromised. Just curious can you get into Google play?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
No I can't get into google play. Can't do anything. I follow the steps and it doesn't do anything. Just keeps circling back to the help guide. I can't find an email or phone number to call for help

This is for Google Play support, but they may be able to help you figure out why your account was disabled:
http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/request.py
They'll call you.
Off topic but I like your user name and avatar lol my dad is a big harley fan (I believe he has an 03 road king 100th anniversary edition that has some special shade of blue) not to mention he got me into motorcycles too, but I don't know anywhere near what he does

I received an email friday about comprised Google account. Something about gtalk something I don't use. It told me to go thru the help site to fix it. Just clicked on the third link and it asked me to reset my password and all was fixed. Wouldn't let me log on until I did.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Google play has been a bit 'sketchy' as of late. I had a couple problems (solved with a telephone call) and have read about several others.
Well I had searched and read that a password rest fixed some Ppl problems. So I did the forgot password link, they sent a code to my phone, I changed password and it was fine again!? I'm just glad I got it back. I haven't tried the play store, I will, and if any problems I will report back. Thanks for the tips!

Still no news on how or when it'll happen :/

News reported it's going to cost them $7 billion. I assume they got that figure from Samsung.
How to deal with handset?
Recall is official but no statment if use until exchange is safe or how it can be made safe...
No information if use shall be stopped or not...
How can I know if there are problems ?
Have any sign?
