Lol.. Android updates are soooo slow and when they come out they usually eat more battery and half assed compare to the international side of things. It's not just t mobile other carriers took a while before updating to jelly bean too.

Still we love Android man.

It'll probably only be on the LTE S3 lol.

There should be an update from Samsung with the multi-window support.

There's a report of a new update to 4.1.2 to release ota in the next few days for our device ( based us carriers) but no report of multi window is listed, just sound correction and version base is listed.
Seny from the one and only GS3.

4.1.2 is just android software update.
Multi windows falls on premium suits updates. Which is lil bit far I guess. They need to sell s 4 too.
So we have to wait till they sell 10 million s 4s.

I'm buying the S4 anyways but my daughter will be happy when she gets this one.
Edit: Just read this http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/04/samsung-is-almost-done-with-android-4-1-2-updates-worldwide/ it seams there is MultiWindow in the release and it will be coming to TMo and the rest of the US carriers, there is a list of features and apps included in the post.

The last one released is the one he's talking about which they said up front wouldn't have the premium suite the next one that no carrier has yet is gonna include it. But you know how that is.

I have serious doubts we will see multi window with official support from T-Mobile on the gs3. I had heat issues when I ran a ported version. The code may be designed around the quad core.

That could be true and I'm sure us carriers don't see it the way we do but like mentioned before its a gimmick at best, yeah its cool to show it off and might come in handy every once in a blue moon but no one will use it like their lives depend on it. If it happens cool if not oh well.
Seny from the one and only GS3.

As was said, you won't be seeing MultiWindow on the US variants of the GS3 - its an Exynos-optimized feature.

I think your right after the s4 is out they will give us what the s4 features. On a seperate note I understand that the reason this phone did not get a quad core processor is because when it was relesed they had a problem with getting quad core and LTE to play nice together. They have since figured that out for the note2 but does this phone have a lte modem that is just not active like the n ote2?

We didn't get the Exynos quad because it didn't support LTE in the US and Qualcomm's quad was not ready yet, correct.
Its been debated on whether or not the T-Mobile version supports LTE. Some have said with the latest radio update, LTE was activated, however, I doubt that is the case as the chip doesn't support LTE in AWS as far as I am aware.

Multiscreen update COMING SOON

According to gotta be mobile an update for the American version of the note 2 IS going to be ready soon and shortly after that pushed out to Carriers for OTA release
multiscreen IS part of this update, so it appears we should have it in several weeks!

A few weeks so it coincides with the Verizon release, roughly, huh? This is excellent news!
Oh wait..this update is for the original Note. Still, makes me hopeful. Maybe if they push it out for the s3 and OG Note around that time..we will get it too.

I don't see why they had to omit the feature in the first place. Like theres a processor difference or something. Glad to see it coming, but it should have been there in the first place.
Hop some one can in port a international version soon or. Or can cm10
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?
I'd like to stop having to seriously consider the international models..Thnx

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?

When will the multi-view update be available?

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.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
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!

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.

4.1.2 out for Verizon

http://briefmobile.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-update-4-1-2-now-available
Not going to lie... a little disappointed about what the update includes (or lacks) but what can you do. It is unfortunate that there is such a big gap in hardware between the North America model and the international s3.
I did hear that there were rumors that there would be one hardware model with different internal storage amounts for the s4. That right there would be a great reason to upgrade in my option.
Either way it's great to see an update and hopefully we will get a taste of some stock 4.1.2

Seems unlikely that Samsung would have a phone that could support all of the different LTE bands plus WCMDA and EV-DO and that the US carriers will allow Samsung to deliver a phone without crapware. Only Apple has that pull.

I also have a Galaxy S2 ATT variant and since the international for 4.1.2 with a working multi view it works fine ported over to the i777 ATT SGS2. IT has a dual core exynos processor though (maybe why). But it is a 1.2Ghz dual core so the SGS3 SHOULD be able to handle it just as well. I would place my bet on the carriers...

This is definitely on the carrier. They know if they give up this feature, then we wouldn't have a reason to upgrade so to speak. It's really sad how they try and cripple a top-end device just so that they can make more money. It's like saying our processor was obsolete before it even hit the market. Come on, we here all know that our processor can easily handle multitasking. To state otherwise is completely false.
The point is that 4.1.2 does not come with multiview (for non-international variants).
I don't see the big deal of the 4.1.2 release anymore without the Premium Suite anymore either.
I think there is an agreement between Samsung and the carriers for the release schedule of these features, so we may not get it until 4.2.1 (which may also fix the lock-screen security flaw). Since multiview wasn't in the original AOSP for our variants, your carrier isn't going to cook it with our existing short battery-life (stock).
Sure, the processor can run it, but also dual-core processor has been known to sap more battery life than the quad-core chipset in real world use.

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.

I agree, but by the time AT&T rolls out 4.3 i'll probably be looking at the S5 in a metal body hopefully!

Did you come here just to make fun of us AT&T guys?
Sadly, you are correct. Like I said...summer 2014.
Not at all friend. Ive been with At&t for 5 years. Im grandfathered in with the unlimited data plan so ive been reluctant to leave
Here's to a revolutionary S5 in the works (hopefully)!

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...

Not at all...in a way I am right here with you. They gave me an AT&T S3 to use for my job. Of course it is rooted but still on 4.1.1. But it opened my eyes to your plight.
At&t is always noted for their delay in releasing update...I wonder why...God help us all..
i've been with at&t for years and it's horrible. Thank goodness for XDA!
I'm still on 4.1.1 official w/ CF Auto Root. I keep checking, but it always (phone & Kies) tells me I have the latest version.... HOW do you get 4.1.2 officially?

You might want to check the AT&T Wireless website and make sure it has your phone listed. Maybe even call AT&T and make sure they have the proper IMEI in their system.

Just go directly to the source article:

Does it really matter when samsux releases the update. T mobile still has to push it. And dancing on the broken record line, as long as people selling new phones control the updates..........

Sigh, still kind of vague. I'm waiting for the push backs of December then they will say early 2014. Feels bad man.
Just smoke signals. It is getting old to be left behind on updates with new phones. Time for carriers to focus more on updates rather than sales.

While I tend to agree,
Updates don't make money for carriers, phone sales do. Why would they change that dynamic?

Because happy customers=repeat clientele. Although I've never been a big Apple fan, I now realize how important Steve Jobs was to the tech industry.
If you want updates get a nexus, otherwise be happy with your cool big screen phone with a pen

Maybe it's just this will be the third time I have gone through this. First with the behold 2, was promised to us that we would get froyo, which never happened. Second with vibrant, which was promised gingerbread, which also never happened. After that I went through nexus s, nexus s4g then galaxy nexus. Gnex was a bad daddy phone that still can hang with the newest. I was on the fence whether to get nexus 4(which my wife has) or the note. I decided that the screen and pen were more important to me then having newest software. I knew 100% what I was getting into. In the past I have complained to tmobile, signed petitions, complained to samsux, with null results. You may call me a corporate sheep, while I call myself an educated consumer.

Although Samsung is grosley behind the Nexus line up. To be fair Samsung probably has the best track record in terms of updates. The GS2 is still being supported and rumored to get 4.3. And T-Mobile ain't bad seems like we get updates faster than the other US carriers. Although I am using At&t note on T-Mo. Who cares I am sure I will get 4.3 long before official update from any carrier.

one scenario would be once samsung releases the final build -- cyanogenmod gets ahold of it and and puts together a tmobile port for it -- and they start charging for roms maybe. they are in business now to make money and their stable roms tend to be just that.. i'd pay a reasonable amount for a stable rom with all the bells and whistles. I said CM since they went public as a corp- other modders have great roms too

Doubt cm will port an OEM ROM, and especially now that they are technically a OEM. Their goal is to sell the cm experience. Now that they are a corporate they are now for profit. Now no one knows exactly how they are going to acneive that goal. Ads, teaming up with an OEM like Google does with lg and has done with Samsung and HTC. Maybe they will have their own app store. Maybe charge for the installer. Who knows

Some what good news, there is a 4.3 leak for att note 2. No root method yet. I definitely don't recommended flashing if Cuz it will have ARF modem. I plan to flash soon. I have unlocked att note. Pretty sure if a leak doesn't come out there will be flashable zips soon which will make its way to T-Mobile
