iamoui Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 What's the difference between 1.40? What was added? I can't seem to find any info on 1.41. edit: seems the only thing is Fixed Bluetooth Connection with Samsung Camera Manager App and Android Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Lame, yes... But it is intriguing that they are still working on this product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they only updated the firmware because they were getting so many complaints about the Samsung Camera Manager App not working with Android or whatever. I won't update until Kino's modpack get's updated and is sure to work with the new firmware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronL Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Its just for people using bluetooth with androids marshmallow. If it doesn't relate to you, then best off not installing it. ye ol code debugging curse.. Marco Tecno 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NX1user Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 It also disables the mods that have been done by folks here and another site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Andrew Reid Posted May 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted May 16, 2016 So let me get this straight... Samsung brought their firmware team out of retirement to make sure the NX1 was definitely dead, they don't like the idea of mods bringing it to life again!

No, they probably have an obligation to support the camera app for the remainder of the existing warranty periods since it is described in the manual as a feature. And to do that they needed to make an adjustment to the firmware in order for the camera to be compatible with the latest version of Android. I doubt they care if people are hacking the camera at this point. It is not like they need to protect next years model because there is no next year.

M Carter Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 I find this really bizarre. So Samsung still has the engineers that know the firmware. Wish we could find 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tugela Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 It is probably generic Bluetooth code for their systems, so it doesn't mean that the person updating the firmware knew much else about the system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidzrevil Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 @M Carter @tugela @Andrew Reid Andrew is right. They brought their engineers back from the dead JUST to fry the hack. Vasile proved it when he stated that they rewrote how to access the bitrate etc. thank you Samsung for 1.4.1 but you get a big f$#@ you from me for purposely trying to kill the product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Tecno Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 +1 for what Andrew said. Samsung does NOT want ppl to improve nx1 and to add long time requested features they never cared to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 To play devil's advocate... They probably don't want a bunch of bricked cameras to deal with, customer service wise. Also, the hack may have alerted them to security issues that could lead competitors to see their code and ideas. Thankfully, I didn't update.... So hack away folks, hack away. sandro, iamoui and Beritar 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bitrate of the NX1 was too low h.265 or not so Samsung upped it in a firmware update. Cool. The NX1 community noticed still it was too low (macroblocking artifacts). A hack is made to alleviate that issue and you block it ??? Seriously ? Shame ! i get what @Jimmy is saying about a potential security flaw. So why would they send their kits to magic lantern ? Isn't magic lantern making a camera of their own ? Im confused but hey @vasile is updating the hack for 1.41 and I hope he finds even more exploits to the system with the update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't care. What is very important to you is completely unimportant to them. They did what was convienent for them, quick and dirty, then went on to paying problems. I see this all the time in an office environment, particularly when you have lower level technical people responding to decisions or actions bosses are taking. You are reading your reactions and your priorities onto them as motives, but they are probably focused on many much bigger things. Something you might spend months in angst about to them is a 5 minute issue in a sea of 5 minute issues. They would have completely forgotten about it an hour later and then be wondering what the hell your attitude problem is all about. 17 hours ago, kidzrevil said: That in a nutshell is what I do not understand.

A hole in the camera OS is probably also in those other gadgets OS. They don't make cameras any more, so they don't care what happens with those, but they sure as hell care about all the other stuff they make.
