yes, thanks for the news, we need more good news for our new note!

It's not new, or old, but rather misinformation and common sense... the Galaxy Nexus will of course get 4.2 because it's a Nexus device, which means Google supports it (not Samsung). And since Samsung does the software for the Note II and Google does the software for the Galaxy Nexus, there's no reason to think the Note II will get 4.2... heck, we don't even know that we'll get multiview yet much less 4.2...
Oh, and the S3 for T-Mobile *just* got the 4.1 update...

I had the 4.2 on my nexus I took it back off and went back to root and put sorcery's 4.1.2 and gapps latest. So much better, well that's my opinion anyhow!!

Note 2 not getting 4.2? Samsung doesnt make software for galaxy nexus? Im confused about everything in this post. Also LG is making the nexus now. I don't understand why you dont think the nite 2 wont get 4.2. After all theyve sold I think like 3.5 million of them to date. But what you said IS scientifically true. There is NO 100 percent data at this moment to support the note 2 getting any update. But that just may be because nothing has been announced. Or worked on for that matter.Thats all.
However I personally do think we will get an update to 4.2 just because of the amount of devices sold. And I also believe that we will not see multiview officially until that update....thats my personal prediction! Hold the dogs back!

Why would the S4 come with an S-pen? The Galaxy S line has never used a pen. That's why the Note has one... if they included a pen with the S4 there would be nothing that sets the Note apart from the crowd.

I know this and i know it wouldnt be a good thing for samsung to do this since it would lower the amount of buyers for the note. I was hoping it did come with one though.. Also theres the Spen for the note but they also made a Cpen that works on the sgs3 and hoping something like that works with it.

They have a generic stylus that works with any capacitive touchscreen, not the same functionality as the s pen by a long shot.

You don't know for sure that they're using a qualcomm chip instead of exynos, you might why to edit the op to say that it's just speculation. And that would be suicide,I would not buy the s4 if it didn't come with exynos

There will be an announcement for it is on March the 14th, not a release unless that means instant release for most international gsm carriers. As far as release date for usa sales, who knows when that will be be plus we all know sprint users will be getting it on a delayed release.

Mosy likely not an official version. Maybe a port as ATT is not known for updating the device. Mainly with the S4 coming out soon I really doubt it.

.... how did they get information about devices that will be updated to Android 5.0..... when so far there hasn't even really been any NEWS about Android 5.0? 0.o

Depends on how many eggs they put in the basket of the S4 and how much the want to work on continued support of the s3. I say we stand a good chance with the over all popularity of the device

We will see but after working for ATT for a few years and dealing with thier update, or lack of. We may get 4.2.2 but that will be it. This device has already been deemed EOL.

Yeah, that one still stings. I was wishing I had a LapDock the other day with my SGS3. <sigh>

Google hasn't even announced android 5.0 and the Nexus 4 just came out a few months ago. I highly doubt the Nexus 5 will be out in I-O (and seeing how Google releases the Nexus along with the latest android) there is no for sure about android 5.0..... Unless the news come directly from Google don't believe what other sites say.

For a moment there when I noticed a Samsung Kies update today, I "almost thought" that AT&T had released something for the i747.
I'm tired of flashing buggy 4.2.2 ROMs that don't improve battery life.

Android 4.1 came with the Nexus 7. Allegedly, Google will be refreshing the Nexus 7 and releasing Android 5. It would be right in line with their release schedule to announce a new version of Android at I/O.
Also, don't get too depressed, guys. The AT&T versions of the Galaxy S2 just got Jelly Bean.

Yep...and that keeps right in line with AT&T mentality. The S2 was lucky to get that. Look at the fact that several U.S. carriers (smaller ones) have already updated to JB 4.1.2 on SGS3 models. AT&T being the way they are, will drag their @ss and we will be lucky to see this update. After all, why would they release an update that will break their apps...or make users happy.
I remember my HTC Inspire and the update to DHD to 2.3.5. Took AT&T 6 months or more to release it for the Inspire. It just happened to coincide with HTC's decision not to update the HTC DHD to ICS (after they had promised it).

Yah but my guess is that the Galaxy S3 will get Android 5 probably by the end of this year and it will be the last update the GS3 gets. I gave up and moved to a custom ROM and haven't bothered looking back. My next phone will probably be the next Nexus.

I agree.. A lot of people think carriers are at fault, well partially they are but they have to make apps and other little bells and whistles be compatible with any firmware updates. But like I said android 5 hasn't been announced yet. At all... Back when ICS and JB we're going to be released they placed Andy and the dessert selection outside Google. Nothing has been brought out yet. Unless they're taking an Apple motive and keeping everything super secret, I'm not going to hold my breath for android 5 or the next Nexus until the end of this year or the beginning of next. Google IO is around the corner and still no announcement of Android 5. They're main focus this year is going to be Google Glass Project since its ready to be sold to the public.

In years past, that only happened a few days before I/O, though. We are over a month out.
And carriers are at fault for having to add those "bells and whistles" to begin with. They should just put their apps in the Play Store and update them as compatibility issues are found.

So this is it?

No more updates from Samsung for our Note 2. Yes I am rooted yes I know how to flash roms been doing it for years. It's just really getting on my nerves how this phone is still a beast and it's pretty much abandoned by Samsung on purpose to herd us to a new phone.
I didn't do a nexus because I was with sprint at the time but since I am gsm now all I need is a nexus with a 5 inch screen.
Sorry about the rant, but it got to me today while lurking the note 2 forums.

Where did you see that? I thought the update was going straight to 4.3 and dropping late this year?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Hope you are right, my hopes are not really that high. Guess it will be all good when I actually see the update.

Samsung sent updates or for GSII earlier this year even as the GS4 was coming out. I see no reason to fret over loss of support at this point. We should be Ok. The limiting factor frankly is T-Mobile...

I think maybe one more major update, then 1 or 2 security updates.

Isn't that Samsung's standard mo. I had a behold 2, then a vibrant, same update empty promises. If you want current software get a nexus. I vowed never to buy another non nexus android ever, until I picked up this note 2. I bought this phone knowing that it would never get an update. It's in Samsung's best interest to sell new phones, not update old ones

No offense but why are you saying stuff like this with no sources? It's just ridiculous... I could understand this a few years ago but not these days. Like another said, it all falls on tmobile and their addition of bloatware, testing, and then its release. And you won't see a major update until the Note 3's drops.

Nah...didn't the S2 just finally get Jellybean a few months back. They may put them on a back burner while they put their efforts into big projects like the Note 3 and Android 4.4 but they come back to these other phones after those releases. Technology is moving so fast they must be scrambling to keep up.

Android 4.3 coming to Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 in October, no word on Note 2.
I guess we'll wait a little longer...

Have you seen the Unpack event for Note 3 today?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaBP1zLZBzY
Pranav mistry mentioned that an update is coming in October for GS3 and Note2 for Galaxy Gear. Hopefully it will be 4.3

They did indeed say October however I will believe it when I get it. I have a feeling there will be a while a whole bunch of shenanigans with "delays".

October for the international right? Dont then the carriers gotta get their hands on it?? And kit kat is right around the corner? Love this phone but I can't be 2 android version behind..thats 2 years.. google edition note 3 would be nice or im waiting to see what the nexus 5 has in store..

Yup... Very true. But at least when Sammy does release an update... We can be sure ptmr3 (and others) will do a JediX version. The only thing we'll be missing until T-Mobile drops theirs is the WiFi calling. Still with the press releases today... Everything is very exciting lol!

Dude be patient! We'll all be very happy soon enough whether people jump to the Note 3 or those who keep their 2 for a while. Updates will come sooner than you think since the 3 will be released. We'll have a international ROM first then us carrier's a couple months later. Good things with happen! Be cool people! Lol

Common sense tells me if the S3 is getting it... We'll be getting it around the same time. I doubt Sammy's promoting it due to the Note 3's close launch. Yeah its rather sneaky but it makes sense, right? Good find though!

I know it's built into stock android but didn't know if Samsung left it alone when doing it up in tw or if it's still there.
