Took before & after screenshots which are in Google+ thread, post #32: http://forum.xda-developers.com/phab-2-pro/help/google-t3495933
Nothing functionally has changed from what I've seen so far. Android is the same version, kernel is the same major/minor version, Google+ still won't install and Youtube A/V sync problem remains.
Maybe someone should post this on the lenovo forums.
Confirmed no joy on this update...why am I not surprised.
and still at the August security patch

New splash sequence
Well update seemed to fix a very annoying issue for me. Looks like it fixed the issue with the memory manager closing background apps. Now apps that need to work in the background to send me notifications (nine and espn) seem to be working flawlessly.
Update bug: Stock Lenovo launcher has repeatedly dropped Google apps "Play Newsstand" and "Play Books" and the "Texture" magazine app from the left-most, bottom-row folder.
Last update here is: PB2-690M_S200032_161202

Ditto here, though my phone's the PBS-690Y hardware version, not the PBS-690M you have. Trying to figure out difference between them. Radios?

Gotta be radios, everything else looks the same. Frequencies must be different in the Netherlands and USA

Hi guys.
I bought this watch so that I can install my fitness apps and thus do away with the need to walk with a phone in the pocket.... My main outdoor apps are MapMyFitness and Runkeeper with MapMy being my preferred app. Unfortunately MapMyFitness force closes as soon as I log in and launch the app. Funny thing is that without logging in the app is ok but of course would be useless without logging in.
Please does anyone know how to sort out this..... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mapmyfitness.android2&hl=en

Something in the recent ROMs has caused this - on my March firmware it worked for me, but since putting either of the two updated ROMs on, it crashes, as you say.

Thank you for the response. I seem to be running an older firmware. The system identifies my rom date as 2013/08/14 (Version 1). However I have a slightly difference device as mine is the OTOUCH Wave though its basically the same smartwatch wearing a different uniform - http://xtouchdevice.com/en/product13.html#techspec
By the way I have no idea whether I can use a micro sd card with the watch. I havent opened up the base yet as I am ok with it as it is but I would not mind additional storage as I have the 4 GB version where only slightly above 1 GB is available for storage... I saw from a different model that the sd card slot is reached after opening the back cover but not sure this is true for all the TrueSmart variants. Any advice on this please?

Agreed. It shall go under the screw-driver this weekend. After all the allegation of the watch being waterproof is doubtful so there is nothing much to lose. I still love the watch for outdoor activities and even though there are a few glitches its still much better than running with a smartphone. I am not even sure that I can use both MapMyfitness and RunKeeper using the watch at the same time as I have to exit one app before launching another app unlike the phone where I have been using both apps simultaneously.

That interesting but no joy for me. I uninstalled and re-installed the app but no change for me. I guess my older firmware should be the culprit then. Le me hope that there will be an upgrade to either 4.3 or 4.4. Please do check for me whether it is possible for Runkeeper and MapMy to run simultaneously. I do appreciate your invaluable feedback and sorry for my many requests....

Those who have installed help keep this page updated with the differences noticed
Whats been noticed:
> Lockscreen Image Bug Fixed (Needs reboot when image set)
> Video/Audio Sync Bug Sort of Fixed - Video/Audio seems in sync when using headset and WiFi, without still a delay. Also without wifi so using data there is delay no matter what. --- Scratch that, i was watching a dodgy video i think! Looks fixed!!!
> New "Headset Hi-Fi" setting in "Sounds and Vibration." You may switch between "Standard" and "Super" and play a demo to see the difference.
> The mobile signal bar no longer says 3G/4G when it is not being used. Just a signal bar now.
> When charging the phone the Notification LED doesnt blink red anymore. Stays on continuous even when using the phone while charging. Always red light.
> Social Media videos skipping when music on in background and viewing the video. Then when going back to the music app the music stops playing while the song is continuing. >>>> This still occurs.
> Android Pay still unavailable.
> July Android Security Patch
> When switching between apps, the clear all button no longer says how much RAM is being used.

> The next update will fix the Video Audio issue.
> Social Media issue.
> Camera will have added 60fps recording option after chats with the USA team.
> Android Pay

2GB? That's a big update.
If it's not too late, can you capture / save that update and share it with us?
Added a link
Installed and testing. First thing i noticed is that the Lockscreen wallpaper bug is fixed.
"Back up the data and APPs in your phone by using the built-in Backup function. To enable the built-in Backup function of your phone (an SD card must be inserted), select Backup and Restore from the main menu"
I think they're imagining this
Keep updating the new topic with updates what figure out with the new update.
Did the sound issue being fixed or not several people mention in different threads.

New "Headset Hi-Fi" setting in "Sounds and Vibration." You may switch between "Standard" and "Super" and play a demo to see the difference.
At 2GB, this seems like a full image. I'm not at a computer; can anyone check it out to see if that's the case?

The OP mentioned "B02", not "B20". Typo?
Anyway, the B20 for the US version was only ~80MB. The OP reports 2GB for this one. Sounds like the difference between a standard OTA update and full image. Not sure why they'd do a full image update, but some companies have/do.

It's specifically for the European version. A2017G is the model sold in Europe.
Any information about the bootloader for the European model with this update?
Is the launcher still without an app drawer?
Does the double tap to open option included from the beginning to European version or not??

I got 2 updates after I purchased 128/6GB Ram phone 10 days back but after those updates battery is draining very fast
I got tab s3 days ago. It ran android 9 but since it was so laggy I decided to go back to Oreo but it does not seem to help. It is even laggy when I pull down the status bar, like a phone with 2gb of ram in 2019. I tried a hard reset, revert back to Oreo and wipe /cache in default recovery but nothing helps. Any suggestions for me guys I don't know what's happening with my tablet. Plus that Knox counter has not been tripped yet, Antutu score is 136594 (I find it normal) and it's still water-resistant. Thank you
Yes, this tablet lags as hell. I sold it due to this problem
It's like that since the Pie update. I'm considering a rollback or perhaps a custom ROM if available. Some research must be done. Very disappointing. :/

Finally my tab s3 becomes snappier! but dont get me wrong lags still there but lessen a bit... stock andriod Pie.... wanna say thanks buddy! just bought this at amazon 3 days ago for $300.. dont know if ill exchange it for s4 add $200 but thats too much i think.
Interesting, my tab s3 lags a lot too. I originally got this for study (Paramedic school) and for jogging with. Hasn't quite worked out for me yet, but I'm hoping sai444's input will help here. Maybe a rollback too? Still have to research what Galaxy labs an d app booster are lol.
hmmmm, are you sure (as of Nov 2019) that this isn't just the built in device care? My device care says 100% optimised but I know that to be a bit false. Sure the device is relatively healthy but like this title suggests it behaves more like a device with 2GB. I guess a factory reset (again) and just limit the apps I use.
I installed Galaxy Labs from APK Mirror to my Tab S3 and then tried clicking on App Booster. It says the content is not compatible with my tablet. The same message is displayed when I tried the other options.
Anyone else encounter this?

Please could you detail the process using titaniumB? My Tab S3 constantly freezes/lags and returns "System UI is not responding-Close or wait (as options)". It's so frustrating.
What apps are considered bloatware??
Well, in TB you have the option to froze any app, if something is broken you can unfroze.
There are others apps that can do this too.
You can search for lists in the internet of bloatware in samsung devices, but you can start searching in the TB for samsung, then all the samsung stuff will be shown, then you can start freezing.
Freeze a few things(try to search what that package is) then restart. If something is wrong unfroze some, reboot and check.
It takes time.
