As usual, and with much envy, us Canadians are way behind the rest of the universe in receiving updated firmware.
Has anyone heard rumors as to when the Multi-Window update will hit Rogers or any of the other Canadian operators, now that AT&T (which I believe has some affiliation with Rogers) has rolled out it's update? Or is it time to take the plunge and install a custom room (clean/jedi)

They said the update would be "soon" in early November as well. It's disheartening to see my wife's (my old) international Galaxy S3 get the features designed for my Note 2 before I do.

Yes, I agree about the disheartening part. They won't even tell us about their strides to get Multi-Window. I was watching YouTube videos before and they really sold me to the Note 2 on the Multi-Window. This phone is awesome, and it's a shame that we won't be able to get multi-window yet. AT and T already has it.
I'm not about to root this phone yet. I don't feel I should. It works perfectly now and there always seems to be a solitary problem after rooting.
Ill give you one reason to root so you can use directory bind. 16gb doesnt go far and not being able we to move apps to a 32 sd is enough reason. Whats the big deal about rooting.....

You are right, but I did root my Galaxy SII in the past, because of battery life. It fixed the battery life, but my WiFi and Data went wonky all the time after. There are no problems with this phone except missing Multi-window. That's why. I hear you though. If you've already rooted your phone, kudos to you.
this didn't happen so removed....

I made the move to CleanROM a month ago to get multi-window and discovered a bunch of great features. You wont be disappointed.
I took you advise and it was the best decision I made. Cleanrom 4.05 is fast, feature rich and stable.
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app
I'm using Note-Orious Prime ROM. I kept my Note 2 stock for about 2 days then rooted and flashed this ROM. Funny thing is I had no clue about the multi window function of the Note 2 until I saw a commercial after flashing.
I suggest this ROM if someone is looking for a stable close to stock one that also has multi-window and functioning Samsung S-Pen apps. Everything seems to be functioning. Glad I took this approach after reading this thread and knowing how the combiation of Samsung and Canadian carriers tends to leave customers "in limbo''

Sadly something like that I shouldn't have to root for. If it is advertised I should have it on my device without having to root. I actually prefer not to root because there is nothing rooting does for me since 2.1.
Also I don't think it's a copyright or patent issue. Sony has open sourced their screen recorder and contributed to the open source community. So Samsung could use that much like CM has done for theirs.

You can opt out of CiQ. It's on page 346 of the user manual. It doesn't specifically state that's CIQ, BUT that's what CIQ does for T-Mobile. CIQ isn't as bad a people think or claim. Due to HTC's bad implementation of the software given to them by CIQ they got a bad rap.

Doubt "one day later" is really "been out much longer than", but yeah I wanna ***** and whine, too. I was hoping since the Intl. version had been out "much longer than" the TMO version, that we'd get the latest and greatest firmware with it included. Major let down on that front, but the phone kicks ass regardless. At least, this is good news, because it means our phones won't take much longer to get updated...hopefully!
You could also complain "everyone else sells accessories for the Note 2 except TMO" which is irritating, by the way (I've done my own *****ing and whining about that, too)
Summary: "Well, it's not for us; not yet. But can't be far now..."

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.

These samsung reps that travel from store to store know what they are talking about. I've gotten early ota's from them in the past.

Should prove to be interesting.

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

Saw something of that likes as well. I'm sure people will lecture me for saying this but I'm saying it anyway.
"I'm getting tired of waiting...."
I'm a very patient person and have always experienced this anticipation towards each update I've ever received since cupcake. Oh well

My ex gfs n4 is on 4.3, my daughter's tab 7-2 is on 4.2, and my own note 2, and note 10 are on 4.1 . Dammit, I buy all the devices, why are my own the farthest back?

I know the feeling, the note 2 is the first new phone I got, I normally wait for them to be out for a bit and do all the updates but had the money and really liked this phone, but always read about the updates and hate waiting lol

was just wondering if any knows whats the difference was between the 4.1 to 4.3 updates were

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
