Well... i had the S3 and it took forever to get 4.1 i remeber. My guess is some months after the S4 is out. Maybe two months.

May/June

Ofiicial: Samsung Will Update Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S3 to JellyBean 4.2.2 Shortly After Galaxy S4 Release Date – Report

Well....that would be right now then....take/give a few moments.....

Who cares? I've used 4.2 it's not much of an upgrade over 4.1. The only feature thats interesting is the multi user setup and that's only interesting to a limited user group. My phone is mine. No one else uses it. Period.

Well, if YOU don't care....good for you. Point taken.
Let me just tell you that MANY people care for ANY update, since
not many phones are working as they're supposed to, with 4.1.2.
Myself, I have not had a proper working wifi function, since the
miserable 4.1.2 "update". And you know as well as all of us
that most users have less battery time, more lag, & so on.
But you already know about those facts.
You just wanted to say "who cares"...
Well.....who cares if you care or not?

Unless they release the note 3 they will never release 4.2.2 for note 2 owners because they fear that some people will not upgrade to note 3 due to the upgrade software.
just like we will never get 4.2.2 for the s3 unless the s4 is release

If you truely want 4.2.2. Unlock and root and just use rom. Super easy to do now especially with the latest samsung devices, i.e. Galaxy S3 and Note 2.
And with being able to download the stock images almost impossible to brick these devices.

I'd actually like lockscreen widgets.

You used the 4.2 in Galaxy S4? or you used the CM10 version?
completely different stuff.. i want to use it cause samsung is doing amazing things that you dont see in CM versions
Do you want me to elaborate some things?
Air View (with finger if possible like S4)
Multi-windows
Sensors (next page, moving homescreens etc, I know GMD works as well but this gets integrated in stock)
Both cameras working at same time.

[Q] T889 Rom Development

So how does the Note 2 for T-Mobile look in terms of rom development. I'm thinking about getting a Note 2 but it seems like there isn't much activity for developing roms for this. What does the future look like for this device?

IMO if you're looking for a phone with development you're better off getting a Nexus 4. I mean with don't even have source yet. It'll come but it won't be as fast or fierce as the N4 will be.

Well actually I'm deciding between the N4 and the Note 2. I currently have the Galaxy S2 and there are many roms for it, like CM and AOKP. I was just wondering if later down the road the Note 2 (T-Mobile variant) will see the same thing.

I'm not exactly asking for more roms right now. I just wanted to know its future. The international version is far more popular for obvious reasons, but I was just wondering of the outlook of the T-Mobile version a couple months from now.

I struggled with that for ages before deciding on going with the Note 2. What ultimately drew me towards the N2 was the removable battery and external storage. 16g just really isn't enough for the amount of photo's and other files I keep on my phone.
Another deciding factor for me was that my wife will be getting the n4.
The development will definitely get better with this phone over time. Same think happened with the s2 when it dropped. Only recently has there been a lot of activity on the phone and keep in mind this is a year after the phone was released. And most of those roms aren't bug free.
As much as I am a Flashaholic, the stock rom, minus the bloat, is pretty solid and inclusive of tons of features. I for 1 am happy with this phone even if PTMR3 is the only developer. Once he gets an actual phone, he puts out roms and updates constantly. I'm sure you've put a few of his roms on your s2. He is phenominal with TW Roms.

What are u talking about yo we got source code
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I think I'll get both, play around with them and see which one I'll keep. I might even keep both, who knows.
I wasn't aware the source dropped. When did that happen like today?
Anyway, don't get me wrong the Note 2 is an awesome device but I don't think people should buy it with development in mind. Just enjoy for what it is and eventually more roms will appear.

Did you wind up keeping the note 2? the development has turned out to be pretty great IMO. ptmr3 is tearing it up with touchwiz and aosp.

do our phones have the tech for smart scroll?

being that we already have SMART STAY feature, do you think they will roll out smart scroll in an update?

Hopefully!
I have a G Note II with rogers in Canada (i317M) and would LOVE this feature.
i did read that the thing preventing it was not hardware but software, so if the sgs 4 runs on the same os as us im sure someone can find a way to port one over
it uses the front camera so yes it does but if samsung doesnt update our phone to include that feature than we will need to wait for a galaxy s4 rom port
Since that is one of the features being touted for IV don't expect that update soon.
Carbon 1.5 | Kroz Hue Brown Theme | Crack Flasher
But as soon as the s4 comes out, don't expect to wait long for it to be included in GNII custom roms
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Saw this @ sammobile showing a leaked screen caps of those functions for Galaxy S III ROM, and I'm sure soon will be in Note II's ROM.
"leaked" "galaxy s iv" screen shots http://tmonews.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/samsunggalaxys4.jpg
The screeenshots seen on the inter-webs of this feature has been said to of been taken from a GS3, so this feature is already being tested on current gen devices, so I believe the G Note 2 will definitely be getting this feature, it's just a matter of when.
Yes, even if the GS4 is released, followed by the GS3 update it'll only be a matter of weeks max before it is ported or leaked or just flat out made to work on the GN2 by the powers that be lol.
Samsung has actually been pretty good about updating features on older phones. The GS3 got the smart tilt function the note 2 had. Also, the original note got a bunch of new features with the ICS update that included one hand mods to the keyboard and keypad. They may take a while to get out, but they sure do update features a lot more than other manufactures. I'm guessing that not long after they announce the GS IV they will push updates to the note 2 and GS3 with similar features.
Our phones can do smart scroll. In fact, Samsung worked mainly with the S3 and Note 2 before finalizing the feature on the S4. In a not so distant future, we all will get a firmware update enclosing this welcomed-surprise. However, I will probably keep this feature disabled; "Big Brother Is Watching You." Just Kidding.
I don't see why not.Basically combining the s pen scroll with smart stay.

[Q] Galaxy SIII questions

Okay so my friend got the verizon galaxy s4 the other day and i have the At&t galaxy sIII... I was wondering if there was a way for me to get certain features that his phone has. Such as quick glance and multiple lock screens or multiview. I was also wondering if there were any features that can be used with our devices such as s beam or group play. Are there any unique things for samsung devices? Oh and will the At&t Galaxy sIII receive the 4.2.2 update?
No, and probably not...

There are some custom ROMS with multiview and other stuff. Aside from that, don't get your hopes up unless both Samsung and your carrier decide to give you new features via update. As far as Samsung devices and unique...well, that is like asking if Ford has anything unique. Some parts and engine designs are unique to Ford while other things may be more generic.
AT&T to 4.2.2...you will never know until it is released most likely and that is assuming AT&T releases a 4.2.2 update. They are very good about not giving out this kind of information.

Many custom ROMs have multi view, s beam, and include group play. Biggest thing you won't see are things like air gesture and some of the more advanced eye tracking features. Mostly gimmicky IMHO.

[Q] Note II To Get 4.3 Not 4.2.2?

Hi,
I haven't posted here before because I am just looking at phones to replace my HTC Desire/Bravo but I have been reading in a few places that the Note II will not be getting JB 4.2.2 but instead Samsung are waiting to push out 4.3 OTA instead, is this true and would you suggest buying the Note II as a replacement?
Has anyone heard of any additional features the update might bring with it?
Thanks in advance
CJ

well over here the diff in price is around 4k Indian rupees but trust me I find s4 to be not worth despite the faster processor,cam,better display I still find the note 2 to be the best .the s4 feels like a baby infront of note2 .
with note 2 you cant go wrong better battery,s pen, bigger display, feels better in hand I would definitely choose the note2.
I HAVE MYSELF OWN A HTC HD2 IN THE PAST AND LOVE MY DAYS FLASHING ON IT BUT TRUST ME YOU WILL LOVE THE NOTE2 BY LEAPS
AND WITH THE 4.3 UPDATE IN Q4 IT GETS EVEN BETTER

I'm going to uni this year so I think the s-pen will be invaluable, it's a huge step up from my current devices and as you said there's a huge price difference and the note does most of what the S4 does anyway.

[RUMOR] 4.4.2 KitKat Update

http://www.android.gs/samsung-galax...e-to-arrive-by-the-end-of-march-says-insider/
Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.4.2 KitKat Update to Arrive by the End of March, Says Insider
Galaxy S4 Note 3 Android 4.4
Samsung has already pushed the Android 4.4.2 KitKat update to the Galaxy Note 3 users, and, judging by the recently-leaked test builds, the Galaxy S4 KitKat update is around the corner. But how about the Sammy’s 2012 flagships? When will the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 get some KitKat love? According to a Samsung insider, the company will release the Android 4.4.2 update for Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 by the end of March.
In an attempt to find out when the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 will receive the highly-anticipated Android 4.4.2 update, we’ve got in touch with a Samsung software engineer that was able to confirm for us that both devices will be updated to KitKat “in late Q1 2014, soon after the Galaxy S4 Android 4.4 roll out.” He also said that the user interface changes will be minor and that the update will not bring any new software features.
Of course, you will be able to taste the KitKat-specific goodies, like transparent status bar, new printing feature in settings, and the new full-screen immerse mode.
The Android 4.4 update for Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 will be rolled out in phases, meaning that it will not be available for everybody right away. For example, the US carriers are known for being at least one-month late to the update parties, so don’t start hitting the Check for updates button yet.

Wonder if it will really happen.
I've seen the "news" of the s3 getting kk, but only international s3. So many variants, I wish they'd be more specific about it. With our ahole carriers having last say, I'm not holding my breath for AT&T to give it. No money in it for them. Especially with the s5 release right around the corner.
There is absolutely no way this is going to happen. AT&T will never give us the latest version of android.
I don't like AT&T any better than most peeps, but they gave us 4.3, why not 4.4?
AT&T gave us 4.3 because Samsung had just released Galaxy Gear, which would require 4.3, and Samsung was pushing carriers to update. There is currently no reason for AT&T to update and no reason for Samsung to urge them to do so. I have no expectations of an AT&T update to 4.4, but if it somehow happens, be prepared to accept that it will be the last update your phone will receive.

They will not likely give 4.4 because the main reason for 4.3 was too sell galaxy gear. Now that there is no additional incentive for profit from the phone, they will target people to upgrade to a newer model.

Don't think so. kitkat looks to be a completely different thing than 4.3. cm has not released a stable version yet for the d2att. could be a lot more work to get it functional.
I don't think AT&T will throw the S3 anymore updates, I'm not even using the most recent one. Wouldn't download to my phone. Oh well running Quantum v2. Not planning on buying a Galaxy Gear so no biggie. Just my thoughts....
I was talking with AT&T repair regarding my phone freezing when switching from portrait to landscape since the 4.3 OTA and they told me they were not aware of a fix coming out for this, but that 4.4 will probably come out in a couple months and it may replace whatever is causing the problem. When I went to the Samsung Experience center to let them force the OTA onto my phone again to see if that would fix the issue, that tech said the same thing about 4.4 coming out, but he thought my freeze issue is hardware related.
I agree that the only reason 4.3 was relatively fast is because of galaxy gear.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
It was released very quickly...especially since the U.S. carriers released so quickly on par with the international version. The update was purely profit motivated. This is why the international version ran into so many issues upon initial release. Samsung was so worried about profits from galaxy gear that they never thoroughly tested the update.
