    Anyone actually get this garbage to work? It says "install updates" and nothing ever happens.

    It is, at best, erratic. I have seen it find and install new updates on occasions. My own complaint is that it may not find recent updates although they are on the download site and i wonder if it works off a different database.

    You are, I presume, running the latest version of Samsung Update Plus.

    You could try version 2.0.0.20 here (from the N130 downloads - it's missing from the N120 downloads).

    True to fact, a wonderfully mixed up app. I have had it download and re-install the same update three times! Best removed...
