Does the T-Mobile version have split screen multi-tasking? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I'm trading my N7100 for a T-Mobile Note 2 and am wondering if the current TMo firmware supports split screen multi-tasking yet?
I prefer stock and I know you can root/etc to get it, but I don't want to do that.
Thanks.

Stock, no. But if you flash other ROMs, then you can have Multi Window.

Thanks. Like I said, I don't really care to flash ROMs, but I'll consider it because this is annoying.
What. On earth. Is taking T-Mo so long??

S3 gets our features first

The galaxy s3 is getting our multi window, split screen features before we do. Sad face!

No they don't. This just means that Samsung is releasing it to the S3, which they already did to the Note 2. The carriers still have to approve it and release it to the devices, so it's going to be a while until the AT&T S3 gets it.

Let's hope for that. Because if the S3 gets them before my GN2, I would really be mad:banghead::thumbdown:

I think sammy will have an update through kies to past the carriers like they did for the S3 for 4.1.1. Hopefully soon.
Verizon had it since release day...

That's not the update with the note 2 features

That would be pretty messed up though. I don't know why they need carrier approval for a feature update anyway. It's not a full os update.

Why not just root and install a ROM with multi-view?

They also had to wait 3 weeks longer to touch their phones. It's a trade-off, for sure. For all we know, that's why Verizon delayed releasing their phone, so they could update the firmware with multiview (and add their bloatware to it!).

meh, don't really care for it.
Yeah its not all that great, though I have only been playing around with it for a day
I think you'll only really hear people who are anal about rooting their phones, who tend to always complain about stock UI. I've owned HTC phones with stock Sense and Samsung phones with stock TouchWiz, and I've yet to find anything so terrible about either, that I feel I simply must root my phone to replace it. What exactly is so bad about stock UI?? Maybe someone can point some things out to shed a light on what I may be missing due to my ignorance.

4.2.2 firmware confirmed for mid June

Just got the full confirmation from my Samsung mobile rep yesterday that sprint will be dropping the 4.2.2 firmware for the S3 in mid June. Anybody hear anything differently of can back up what he told me?
Edit: it's mid June and we've seen nothing yet lol *(clearly)*. Either my rep was mistaken on the ETA or the rumors are true about the delay for the S3 and the Note II. I apologize for the mixed information.

I'm fairly sure they meant only for the international version because that's been all over the place.

That would be cool and I wouldn't be surprised if Sprint did release it as they are pretty good with updates. But like someone said, the international version will probably get the update first.

That would be awesome if we actually got the update around that time :thumbup:
But news leaked that the international will get it in June....and I've never seen them release it for Sprint at the same time
This is great if it is true.
Interesting but history doesn't lie... usually international will get it then the US gets it months later. So I would not be surprised if you have been told false info.

I'm guessing that to get that OTA 4.2.2 update I would have to go back to stock everything from something like this: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099)
I feel like quite a bit of people on XDA already are rooted and have a custom ROM that is already 4.2.2; is there a reason to unroot and go back to stock when 4.2.2 comes back?

Right now only AOSP based Roms are on 4.2.2 for our phone. Some people like Touchwiz Roms better. You don't have to unroot. When OTA drops you can just flash a rooted version of the OTA update or other OTA based TW Roms when they update.

Is your Samsung contact actually from Samsung or just a 3rd party marketing partner like MarketStar or Marketsource?
MarketStar and Marketsource folks don't know squat.
This will be validated if we start seeing rdfs drop in the next couple of days as this has always been the cycle in the past.

All I know is that my note 2 is rooted but my wife's s3 is not and I still find myself using her phone all the time. It's a great phone and if it's updated to 4.2.2 that will definitely hold her off till her upgrade.
And like someone said, Sprint is getting better with updates, probably the best from the 4 major companies.

Note 2 uodate to 4.3

was doing a Lil reading on the Interweb, seen a few post about the Galaxy note 2 possibly skipping 4.2 update and going straight to 4.3. It's suggested that the update might come out sometime in October. Not getting my hopes up it is the interweb lol. Anybody know what are some of the upgrades or tweaks they changed from 4.1 to 4.3

FYI October date if for international Touchwiz phones, not US carriers. Will be months later before US carriers accept what Sammy gives them, adds their files and then decides when it is a good time to push it.
To add to that^, I have a Galaxy S4, that I'm selling, but every other major carrier in the US, Canada, and really much of the world, has received an update so you can move apps to the SD card months ago.
T-Mobile? Not a single word about it.
It will be months after international gets 4.3 for the other 3 major carriers in the US. And likely months after that that T-Mobile sends it out.
The fragmentation is alleviated if you go custom roms

Im with you that's why I stick to stock roms but tweak them to what I want, tired of flashing different roms to find one that is close to what I want but has extra crap I don't want either broken or its just like having the boatware the carrier installs. Yes the Developers do a great job here at xda over the cell phone carriers. I haven't found one that fits what I want( mostly get rid of bloatware and a few tweaks I like) and one thing is I don't complain and do give thanks, cause I don't develop.
To all you developers who read this you do amazing work. I'm not putting you down, I'm a select few who likes to take your mods and add them to my stock rom that's all

[Q] How happy are you with the N2?

Hello, I am using the LG G Pro and I like it but i am looking for another phone with more devs. Only other phone on the market thats 5.5 inches is this one and i see anything smaller as being too small lol. So in your honest opinions, how happy are you with your N2? How would you rate the development for this phone?
Sent from my LG-E988 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Development for note 2 on r mobile side seems to be slow and their are some dedicated devs who definitely keep this phone feeling fresh ... As a phone itself it's great to me I'm really not sure what more u could ask from it ...

We can use the ATT roms also, we just have to do what you stated. Flash the modem from T-Mobile. But, for the 4.3 roms, you'll get data drops, because T-Mobile hasn't released the 4.3 rom for the device yet.

[Q] read and read....can i do anything with the 4.3?

I am definitely not a noob here but, it has been a loooong time. From the HD2 and g2x days including a stint with Team Hellfire. I just tried to get back in to the scene with the purchase of a tmous galaxy s4 (4.3) and am realizing that I may not be able to root. That being said, I have read that you can and that you can't. What is the definitive answer? can I root this paperweight or not?
I'm not too familiar with the s4 but I know with 4.3 on an HTC one you can't root yet.
Check your software build number and boot version and then search on those numbers. Most 4.3 phones right now can't root unless you were previously s off and just took the ota. Then all you had to do was reinstall superuser.

You can root, use custom recovery, flash other ROMs, etc but you will trip the (as of right now) KNOX warranty flag. If you care about your warranty, leave it stock and don't muck around. If the warranty doesn't really matter to you, having a tripped KNOX flag doesn't incapacitate your device or anything; just don't expect warranty agreements to be honored.

I was deciding between s4 and HTC one. How do you like yours? I don't think I'm a big fan of touch wiz. I hope Verizon does not take away my unlimited data because all I've had were Verizon HTC phones.
If I had to switch carriers I would probably keep my DNA as it has bands that work on pretty much all carriers except sprint.

So far it is nicely put together and it has a ton of features. Not really happy with the lock down from Samsung though. First is was a lack of source release from LG and now Samsung has to play games

Yeah they did pack a lot of features in the s4. What they should have done was made the build quality better, it's not as plasticy feeling as the s3 but they should have of course got rid of the home button.
I heard Knox is a pain but at least you can root it now. I can't even use my one right now because I hate the Verizon software.
