Won't be long!? We still haven't seen a 4.1.2 and the i9300 has had it for quite awhile. I do have hopes though.

The Galaxy S7 will be out by the time 4.2.1 gets to us.
The problem with the 4.1.2 update has multiwindow. We have a different processor in US phones which is making it difficult to get multiwindow to work properly. Im not saying its impossible but I feel like that is the hold up with US carriers. And it may even be they end up releasing 4.1.2 without multiwindow because of it.....

Meh. I'm really thinking about possibly trying to eBay my carrier unlocked GS3 when the GS4 comes around. I know it's apparently being shown on the 14th... but who knows when it'll actually be available after that.

Im speaking from what ive learned from trying to port over the note 2 rom. It has a exynos processor and our US version does not. Im not sure what the note 1 has as far as it having the same processor as our s3. But I would love to try and port it once released and see if it would work.

ps I'm running galaxymod 14.1 without issue so just because you haven't been able to get multiwindow working in no way means it is not possible.

Synergy ROM in the development section has Multiwindow. I tried it yesterday and it worked great...although a few other issues made me switch back. I don't think the processor is the issue.
Definitely not the power of our phones the grand had all around less specs and it's coming with multi window.

Synergy is a Verizon or Sprint base one I cant remember which. And im not saying its impossible for us to have multiwindow what im saying is it will need to be totally reworked to run on our phone as we have a dual core processor and the note 2 has quad core.
And I believe the different processor or maybe the kernel has a lot to do with why you haven't seen a ATT based note 2 port. Ive been working on one for quite sometime now and can only get it to partially work. So its not impossible but its not as easy as you may think and thats why I think its taking US carriers longer....

I think that could be right seeing as this is a tiny update in general.
Here we go again...
Please, don't create expectations or start rumours about possible ETA's.
You've seen it with the 4.1.1 update, carriers can hold up the process undefinitely if they feel like it no matter the "size" of the said update.
I read about this last night too. There's no way of knowing when or if we will ever see this officially. Just as European S3's got the multi-window already it's up to the carriers. I'm sure they'll find some way to get it in a custom rom on here when its out.
We'll probably have the Galaxy S4 before this update even arrives..

it's much more complicated than just the APKs. you need the modified jar files as well, which will boot loop a Us Gs3. search for the GS2 tutorial on how to run multiwindow to see how complicated it really is. in theory, it is possible to modify the jellybean us GS3 files to get it all running on our phones. but, it will take some talent.

Yeah the others are probably right. Tmobile probably has decided that the 4.1.2 update isnt improtant enough to push through and since 4.2 with touchwiz will come out officially with the s4 they will just push that one instead of pushing both within a month or 2 apart. If you're asking in wonder of getting an official multi Window, then I'm guessing 4.2 will have it.

If we end up with a Snapdragon 600 chip, it will make porting from S4 to S3 a hell of a lot easier... Swap out Qualcomm drivers for the S3 in place of the S4 ones and build the kernel source from the S4... Most of the main hardware is going to be similar. Camera and other external modules might be more difficult but as long as we get full S4 source from Samsung, we will be able to plug a good bit of S3 code and precompiled code in there.
I imagine we will see some interesting blends happen with HTC One and S4 source code.
Basically, even if we don't get an official 4.2 or 5 release, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to port due to similar hardware. Qualcomm makes it really easy with their proprietary binary code to build a kernel for another Snapdragon device than the source kernel/device. I wouldn't worry about it.
It seems Samsung may have decided to skip 4.2.2 entirely according to the article I linked below.The S4 will still get the update although you won't see it until mid August. On other news a new Note II has been spotted in Antutu sporting a Snapdragon 600, hopefully available to the US with Tri-band support.......

I picked up N4 and it certainly isn't a big jump to 4.3 from what you have in 4.2.2
Its just a lot harder to follow through all the threads something because it has a much bigger base of users, plus it's hard to know what you can and can't flash compared to our phone.

4.3 runs smoother in terms of scrolling smoothness and lag...and at least for AOSP ROMs the battery life is much better.
There are the other little feature blings. But as Android system upgrades go it is kind of minor.

If at all. I have a feeling ATT is done providing updates for this phone. And if they do throw one more at us, it wont be 4.3 cuz they just don't keep them updated that close to what the actual current version is. Prolly 4.2 will be the last if any at all. I hope I'm wrong, but their track record does speak for itself.

Both of these reference the i9300 (i9305), not our phone...
The first article is supposedly an insider tip from a Deutsche Telekom employee: "The Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 have been rumored to skip the Android 4.2.2 and get Google’s latest Android update instead, although Samsung is yet to confirm it. An Australian carrier (Telstra), answering to questions about the Galaxy Note 2 updates, has also hinted that the device will go straight to Android 4.3"
The second article also mentions the same DT employee and is talking about the i9300 for DT networks.
Your 1st comment said Samsung confirmed it and they have not.

This, we know. What I'm trying to explain to everyone in another thread is that support for the US variants died after the release of 4.1.2
We should consider ourselves lucky if we get 4.3 (officially) at any point.
Samsung doesn't need to confirm anything that the US carriers choose to do with the 4.2/4.3 source code (if they ever do get it). I'm still convinced that carriers are only interested in selling new flagship devices.

I'm now getting bored of the Premium Suite as I thought that I would have wanted all those fancy features when they first release.

I love my note 2 but I think from now on ile just stick to nexus device. I bought this phone based on the screen size really. All I want is a stable kit Kat cm or cm based ROM which seems unlikely at this point.
I keep thinking is it too late to buy a nexus 5 or just wait for the n6.

I've been running Beanstalk 4.4 for a good month and change now. Only rebooted once with that one. All the other MK4 roms would reboot once or twice a day.

I ran beanstalk 4.4 for about month also. I really like the ROM I don't really understand a lot of the settings but for the most part it ran smooth. I was hoping for a volume bug update but there hasn't been one. And battery life fluctuated.

Funny every time somebody wants info for an Official update release there is always somebody that has to chime in about how they already have a rooted custom rom with it like nobody knows.

This is a developers website. If I didn't see those something would be wrong.
I personally think if want official info. Go get it from Samsung or your carrier. Some one is just nice enough to share the info here.

He asked about a stable KitKat cm based ROM as well, not an official update, hence my suggestion of beanstalk.

Yeah I think I'm just going to hold on to my 2 until the 4 comes. I was itching to get a note 3 but I don't think I'm going to waste my time.
I'm thinking about getting a galaxy gear watch to play around with till I get a new phone

It is a better longer term option for everyone...Especially given how Samsung has chosen to ignore their formerly flagship phone wrt updates. Further the much waited 4.4 update is probably the last if I had a=to bet.

Galaxy Gear only works, so far as I know, with unrooted stock (yuck) touchwiz ROMs on select devices of Samsung's arbitrary choice. You're better served both now and later with not spending the $200+USD on Samsung locked hardware.
I have seen users with smoothest claim gear works. Smoothest is a n3 stockish rooted ROM.

I don't mind running stock touchwiz. I actually recently unrooted and returned to stock 4.3 when I was planning on trying to sell my baby and I don't mind it one bit. I have never been a fan of aosp so staying stock isn't the end of the world for me

I didn't mind TW but I really got tired of waiting for Sammy to release a 4.4 update for us, and then having to wait on Sprint again... It's nice to be able to use KitKat on the Note 2
