Do you think the Note 2 on Verizon might have possibility of running 4.2?
If not, when would it be released? I want all those features.
Never mind. A quick Google search shows Q1 2013 for Note 2 and S3.
4.2

As of right now the strong rumor is that it will be reased in the 1Q of 2013 for the Note 2 and the GS3 However this is for unlocked GSM phones. As always if you want the latest firmware get a Nexus device or get a internatiol version of a phone. If you buy your phone from a cellphone provider like VWZ or ATT etc........They will hold at the min the update for 6 months before they give it to you. Gives them time to add in all there bloatware.

4.2 does not have any juicy things like 4.1 has so I don't need it now. If it comes then it is fine otherwise I don't need it. The toggles are already there and I have continuous input already available so nothing much required. This is me and others might want something from features of 4.2
Thx, but new to droids...

So I just purchased a GSM Note II from Thailand, and I have it working here in Nepal with a local sim. Will I get a notification that there is an update to 4.2 from 4.1 from google? Thx for your input!

Only Nexus devices get updates direct from Google.
For the Note 2 they will come from Samsung, or if you're unlucky, from the carrier.
Best thing to do is keep checking on XDA.

Anyone know which version that I could purchase would be compatible with Verizon LTE and 3G bands here in the US?
With it looking like the note 2 will be released here in the states on the 24th I'd just wait

Damn, I was hoping one of ones being sold on the US Ebay would already be compatible. I'd like to purchase it and sell my Galaxy Nexus before news of the new Nexus completely devalues it..
Additionally, the Verizon version is supposed to have a locked bootloader (isn't it?), so I'd like to get a different version so I can put custom roms on it. I may be completely wrong though, and if so, I hope someone corrects me.
Guys,
Im planning to buy galaxy note 2 no commitment handset but im confused which one to go for. They are same priced. Since i came to US in fall 2011 i have never used a US locked phone. Im currently using htc hd2 (the legend).
My question is if i buy att phone and then unlock it will flashing new roms etc still be a problem compared to international version. Do they provide only a code to unlock the phone or a complete new rom to flash which removes att bootloader and drivers and makes it like an international version. The only difference i guess is about warranty and lte radio between the two variants. I do not care about lte radio since im mostly connected to wifi but i care a little aboutthe warranty.
Some questions might be stupid since im new to this us version phones so im sorry about it.
Thanx in advance for replying

Ok and so everytime i flash a new rom i flash the att the rom from att thread on xda and there is no way to go back to international version rom so that i can get the updates directly from samsung instead of the carrier. I hope i got this right?

No,you can't install an AT&T Rom on an Int model & vica versa. So, If you have an AT&T model, you can only install AT&T Note 2 ROM's. If you have the Int model, then you can only install the Int Note 2 ROM's. The difference between models is that AT&T LTE band isn't supported on the Int model. So if you want LTE on AT&T then you'll have to get the AT&T model.
Okay thank you guys for your replies.. It indeed cleared my mind. Im gonna pre order no commitment galaxy note 2 from at&t right away so that i get warranty on phone as well..:good::laugh:
similar question> if i buy an unlocked international note 2 like so: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...1355456&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+note+2
can i use it on the AT&T network by popping my current GS3 simcard in there without issue?
See we didn't get screwed this time with the crappy processor. If we did, then I'd be all over the international version. But we get the exact same specs as the International version plus LTE. The only advantage the international version has is that it will get updates faster, but I don't care about that, as I plan to root anyway.

Yes, if you get an Int GN2, you can pop in your current GS3 simcard without any issues but you won't get LTE speed.

I would of gotten the Int GN2 if it supported AT&T LTE but it didn't so I'm going to get the AT&T one.
Looking at the advantages of att GN2 such as warranty and lte radio i preordered one for myself on no commitment basis..gonna get it by nov 9th for which i just cant wait.. I dont care about updates either since im gonna root it too.

Not true. As long as the partitions are the same on both devices, and considering the hardware between both are mostly the same, it should work fine, as long as the proper modem.bin and kernel is running.

I am a power user and i cant live without flashing rom so i cancelled my att preorder and bought and international version for 589$ from newegg..yes 589$.. I got 90$ of on it. Now i l buy insurance worth 55$ from worth ave and m all set to flash roms
im planning to get the at&t version, but im waiting for reviews to come up. that LTE seems like its gonna go through the 3100mah quickly. i got the original at&t note and i hate having to recharge every 11-12hrs. its crazy how late at&t is on the galaxy note 2. tmobile even beat them to it.
I already have the GN8 wifi and want to get the AT&T LTE verison. I can live without root if I can install 4.2.2. Is 4.2.2 available for AT&T GN8? I only see the GT-N5120 and the device number is different for the AT&T model.

If it's available, I haven't seen it yet. We're at the mercy of AT&T pushing it sadly. Has Samsung officially released it?

I too came from a ipad 2 64 GIG from AT&T. I cannot believe how fast this note 8 is on LTE!!! I love this Note 8, I also have a Galaxy Note 2 and probably getting a Note 3 when it drops... a la the 0 ZERO DOWN AT&T deal. I use this Note 8 for work, home and everywhere in between. I cant put it down... I just hope there will be either an 4.2 or dare I say... 4.3 update!!! And if not I know we have some kick ass developers on this site!!! So maybe we can get what we need and when we want it soon

Like me. I'm using the international NON LTE version. The N5100 on straight talk a AT&T MVNO. Everything works and get between 300kb/s-800kb/s.
Best Phone I have ever bought. I love the big screen.
I am in need of a new tablet to replace my original kindle fire. I was about to pull the trigger on a Tab S when I saw a blurb about AT&T and an LTE model. If it is right around the corner, I will wait. If it is 2 months down the road, I will go ahead and get the one out now.
Any release dates that you guys know of?
None. Samsung will release when Samsung wants to release.

Well I guess it does not have to be an AT&T one. I read that they were going to be the first to release the LTE version. I would gladly get one from someplace else when it comes to the US.

i have 42 days left to return mine and thought about getting a Verizon version. my tablets have always been wifi with my phone as modem when needed but thought it might be nice to have it built in.
sadly i suspect that if i would get a carrier model even if i wanted to pay full retail i would end up with locked bootloader and carrier app garbage all over it?

Hey guys and gals, there is a new OTA available. Build number AOJ1. It comes in at almost 119mb.
It is still 5.1.1 and just general performance improvements, etc. I haven't had a chance to run it through its paces yet. I will update as I have a better idea of how it is.

Ok... I'll jump. Already ran the Fall update on Winders 10, might as well throw my phone into early-adoption-land as well.
Not finding this update on my phone. On Cricket Wireless network running on unlocked AT&T version. Since Cricket uses AT&T network, it shouldn't matter much. Is this available via Smart Switch yet or strictly OTA?
Might be prep for Marshmallow

Contact AT&T tech support by online chat and they can push the update to your phone. (I did that for one of the Note 5s I'm helping to maintain.)

Tried the online chat. The customer rep refused to push said they have no ability to contact the phone as Cricket Wireless is servicing it. I think its all BS.. the rep didn't know what she was talking. Tried another rep, same answer. I have used TMobile Note Edge on Cricket Wireless and always got the latest OTA updates.

The problem here is that your using Cricket, even though the phone may be on an AT&T Network, AT&T will not recognize the device as being on their network. AT&T is always fairly strict with who, what, and when they roll out updates. It is also possible it just isn't available in the area you are as well. If all else fails go to a Best Buy and have them flash the device to the most current at the Samsung Kiosk. Though they are usually about a month or so behind on updates typically, at least last I recall anyway. Believe me if AT&T Execs had their way I am more than willing to bet they would lock their phones down so hard no one would be able to take their phones to another carrier. T-Mobile on the other hand is fairly open with what people do with their cellphones hence the reason most of their phones can be rooted etc.
On am on at&t with an AT&T phone and I am on old version? I called at &t and Rep says they cannot push an update? Ended up having me call asurion. Insurance company for the phone and they have no idea? Any help in this matter would be great.
