Has a date be announced? Why does t mobile have to lag behind on things like these, other carriers have it. Is there a way to get it currently without rooting? Also, is this 4.1.2 or 4
2? Which comes with photosphere? Sorry for all tue questions, just can't wait to show off to friends with iphones.

Were all excited, some may flame you for not searching but we all need to learn from somewhere right? Our updates always take a while. You have to think, first google releases firmware ie 4.1 then samsung has to mess with it and then the carrier. Since this is a samsung feature, were only waiting between samsung and tmobile. Of course nothing comes out flawless the first time ( just look at the issues nexus is having with 4.2 ) were currently on 4.1.1. Next will b 4.1.2 im hoping for the release. To be this week since verizon will have multiwindow out of the box. We shall see : )

Don't have so high expectations. I have had this feature a month or so now and have found that the only time I want to use it is when I'm using an incompatible application. I have researched rooting but it seems i then have to live without the s-pen, and tha's not going to happen.

I think you need to do some more research. Rooting will not make you lose s-pen capabilities. There are some sprint version roms with the multi Window hack that work just fine, the only ability you will lose is wifi calling

If you do it right you can get root w/ multi-window enabled, hacked for all apps, and wifi calling.
Need to install XquiziT v4, set up wifi calling. Then install XquiziT v6 without wiping. You'll have everything.
To other guy: only way you lose S-Pen is to get AOSP ROM which does not exist for 7105 variants (t-mobile, at&t, sprint, 7105, verizon) and even then some have S-pen tricks.
I tweeted tmobile help last night about the update and they had no official statement about that, so I wouldnt expect it for at least the next month. There's been a RUMOR (it's just a rumor, so dpnt take it as a fact like some have done around here) that tmobile probably wants to wait til LTE so they can do 1 update once and for all

That is not correct.
You don't lose your S pen features just because you rooted. The Buddy feature works only work with TouchWiz. But you can chose to be on TouchWiz while rooted. All other S pen features work with other Launchers rather rooted or not. Each ROM has its own limitations. So you have to look at each ROM for its limitations. But while rooted on Stock ROM you will have S pen features.
When we actually get Multi-window feature then we can use a hack from the Galaxy Note 2 forum to add most other apps to that feature. Hopefully with no issues. Which I don't see any issues coming of this hack.
Which version of Galaxy Note 2 do you have, that you have the Multi-window feature you say you have, and yet not be rooted? Are you on Sprint version? Are you using an International version?
If they waited till lte then were screwed lol. I dont expect lte till at least end of 13 considering how slow tmobile is. Well be the last ones to get it but yet the first ones to get the phone. Lame!

Nope. Powers to be say some areas will have lte by the second quarter of 2013. Some talks in the SF Bay area that some areas might start lte coming in the first quarter of 2013. Either way it is still way to long to wait for multi window feature update.

I dont know exactly when lte is coming I do know that tmobile combinded with Another carier I think metro pcs. So I would think that the areas that metro has lte would be the first areas to get tmobile lte. I could totaly be wrong I am only guessing here. As far as the update I would not expect them to wait to combine all three things. When the t989 got ICS we got a maitenance update a few weeks before so I dont think they will be worried about that. I am sure it will be available on kies soon hopfully not much m ore than a month then OTA soon after. The one thing is that this phone came with a widget to check for ota software updates that makes me think they planned on relesing a update soon but that could be wrong too.

The merger still needs to be approved and we won't be seeing anything til the end of 2013 at the earliest. And if the plan works out then they'll actually completely merge by 2015
By March we should see the update. T-Mobile is not waiting for LTE to issue an update.

I dont see any other posts for this so here goes...
Is there any eta of when the multi view update will be available for our phone?
And this kind of leads me to my second question... I got the phone with the $250 down and you pay an extra $20 a month but the plan itself is 20 dollars cheaper (just jumped ship from att for unlimited data). Should I have just bought the international/unlocked one, seeing as how it would have worked with the 42 hspa+ anyway... updates will be much faster for that phone and more from.selection too... just thinking.. would have multi window now if I get that one instead...
Lol you certainly need to look at the single screen properly before you ask about multiview. ..lol.But seriously theirs at least three separate posts about it saying that we need to wait for the update for this and a few more features to be enabled.

The Verizon Gnote 2 is rumored to have multiwindow enable out of box. If that's true then an update SHOULD happen slightly before or after. If not then people should raise hell as it is obviously ready with Europe, Asia, and Verizon having it enable.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
It's not so much it was omitted on purpose, but that Samsung has to work with the carriers so they can add their bloatware. This most likely caused Samsung to send an earlier version of the Touchwiz'd Android so that the carriers have enough time to put in their software and tweaks and still release the phones in a timely fashion. The US variants were already released a month after the international version. We probably wouldn't have the US Note II for T-Mobile today had Samsung taken more time to get multi-window working before submitting the software to the carriers to do their thing.

That's the most logical explanation I've read thanks, so are you confident that when it is enabled for AT&T I'm hearing soon that T-Mobile will not be left behind?
I also heard that Wi-Fi will be improved along with adding the spit-screen multi-tasking multi-view, does that suggest the Wi-Fi is currently unreliable?
Also what ever happened to Samsung Galaxy Note II Screen Recorder function?

Why would you think that when every other major carrier is likely getting it this month like the international Note2 has on 4.1 (before a 4.2 update that could take months for any US Note2)?
Could we get T-Mobile to comment on being competitive on this considering Sprint is releasing it already & AT&T & Verizon are expected to have it by Nov 27th?

If the 4.1.2.update is any indicator, my guess would be summer 2014.
These announcements are ALWAYS for the international version...it takes the US carriers months to put out their updates from there. International versions do not have as much restrictions as in the US and the carriers here reserve the right to control updates. And AT&T is notoriously last in those carriers.

The 4.3 release for the S3/S4/N2 is pretty tied up to the release of the Galaxy Gear "smart" watch.
Event though the Gear will probably not sell like hot cakes, I'm pretty sure carriers will want their share of the pie sooner than later. Because of this, I'll hold on to my pink glasses and expect the update to be made available by the holidays.
I would also expect Samsung to put some pressure on the carriers to do so...

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.

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

More like January or Feb, I'd say or maybe never...at least for the Sprint variant. It isn't in Sprint's interest to push updates unless the other carriers do. Of course Samsung wants to get these updates moving because they want the public to feel they'll be supported if they purchase a Samsung branded device but brand loyalty isn't in Sprints interests unless the brand is Sprint and that of course is usually maintained at the end of a very thin thread as it is.
As for the possibility of receiving the 4.3 update. I'm always excited about OTA updates because updates play a fairly big role in future versions of Android. The more updates there are the more well understood it is what the public wants/needs from future versions because of the broader spectrum of users providing feedback.
For my own personal device...I don't care. I run what I want on my device anyway regardless of whatever Samsung/Sprint/Google push. I don't give a rats ass about having a "pure" Android experience or being the first to get the latest version (no offense to the Nexus fans) either. I want my device dirty and nasty with a big moustache. I don't want be like one of those creeps that hangs around the strip clubs but never pays for a lap dance...I'm in the champaign room and let me tell you there is more going on in there than the song says. Why do you think I'm hanging around here? Trick it, brick it, fix it, trick it and brick it again...that's what it all about.

Yea don't really care because Google separated their core services from the operating system so most of the really great feature are now pushed through Google rather than being a part of a new os version.
Android updates aren't as feature rich anymore.

To the ones complaining who are you going to then? Unless its a Google phone it will be the same across all manufacturers. At least we have a date. Samsung actually announces all devices that will be upgraded at the same time unlike others like HTC who just tells u that their it phone of the moment will be upgraded while the rest get lost in forgotten land. Samsung actually has been the best non Google manufacturer with updates to their Galaxy line..

I'm wondering if this update will add the note 3 features.

This, with htc, unless you have the latest and greatest device forget about an update.

I love how in this thread it's bunch of people complaining about how updates don't come fast enough and then when you look at the next thread in this section it's all about getting rid of the updater to stop those "pesky" notifications trying to get you to update... lol
They say December, but that's when they're submitting it to sprint. We'll actually get it Feb or Mar in 2014. Mark my words lol.

Pretty sure that you're missing the point.
The updates that we all are anxious for are system updates that ROM devs can work with, make better ROMs for us all. Definitely worth "complaining" about.
That other thread is about a fault where the phone thinks it needs a software update, but not really, or the update in question is actually not desirable for whatever reason.
Welcome to XDA.

I've been thinking long n hard about that, as an option. I do love my Note2, with the exception of the plastic, it's a badass device. But I don't actually use the pen as much as I thought I would. So taking a long look at the HTC Mega (?), and hoping that it makes it to the US... I allow myself a new phone every year, it being a hobby I indulge myself in, and I always buy outright, no ETF charges...
