So, I just talked to a T-mobile representative like five minutes ago, and asked him about the update for our note 2. He said that T-Mobile doesn't have any update software for the phone as of right now. So I'm assuming that it'll be taking a while before we get it. Maybe next month or in two.

Don't stress it...just relax and drink some hot chocolate...when it comes, it'll come....by the way it's not some huge thing, probably we are way better with the tweaked version of the rooted rom....I would like to have the added functionality of Note 3, but that has to be added to the 4.3 and wouldn't be anything out of the box....there is an International version, Dev his name is Dr K or something, as I know it, he has mastered the Note3 functionality on Note 2, hope a Dev can work with him....but wait your turn...

That isn't exactly true. You can't always depend on what a representative in customer care says about updates or tech support because they don't have that info or knowledge as they are trained to handle your account. Tmobile has the update, they are still testing it and/or putting all their extra junk in it, or have it done and are waiting to release it.

I was using the Galaxy Nexus, and was going to upgrade to the N5, but after i seen the camera etc, i didnt really care for it anymore. so i got the note 2 for a low price from a friend, and i didnt know samsung/tmobile would be this bad for updating, i will most definitely be going back to nexus :/
The hold up on updates isn't Samsung, it's up to the carriers when they release it.

Yeah and that's why I preferred a Nexus device because we would receive the update directly from Google, so it doesn't have to go through any other companies.

One thing that i enjoyed from the 4.3 roms was the KNOX stuff i think thats what they called it, that'll stop the phone data from dropping when u use the other roms, because i enjoyed the s4 motions that was in SkyNote and other roms. Also, I have a Galaxy Gear that's awaiting for my support w/ 4.3. Yes, I can flash the old modem that'll stop me from getting 4g / LTE. But what's the use of having a modern phone that won't receive LTE? That's one of the reasons i switched from GNex to the Note2. I was awaiting a phone that would have LTE because I tether to my laptop all the time, and i have business to handle. Everyone has different preferences that they're awaiting for. Just because you don't have the same doesn't mean your right.

You might ask the Verizon GNex owners what their experience is regarding the subject.
I have a buddy that reminds me regularly that I told him to get the GNex as it was great hardware (at the time, and it was) and would get updates 1st (not so much).

http://www.tmonews.com/2014/02/andr...alaxy-s4-s4-note-3-and-other-samsung-devices/
Today, Samsung announced that it would be pushing out KitKat to a slew of its Android-powered smartphones. Although we’re not precisely sure on specific dates for T-Mobile devices, the 4.4.2 update will be rolling out from today.
Among the list of devices being supported are the Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S 4 and S 3 as well as others. Full press release below:
DALLAS, February 18, 2014 – Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) announced today that a number of Samsung Galaxy® devices will receive the Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) software update, enriching the Galaxy experience.
The upgrade provides a number of innovative, easy-to-use features that enhance the user experience, including a more intuitive user interface, enhanced messaging capabilities and updated applications:
· Location Menu: An integrated location menu enables users to easily activate GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks, while simultaneously checking the battery usage of apps running location service capabilities.
· Enhanced Messaging: Enables users to choose between Messages or Hangouts as their preferred default messaging application, and select from a larger assortment of updated Emoji icons.
· Upgraded Google Mobile Service™ (GMS) apps: Users can automatically back up photos and video and can open, view, rename and share Google Docs and files.
Samsung Galaxy U.S. devices currently scheduled to receive the KitKat update include select carrier variants of the Galaxy Note® 3, Galaxy Note® II, Galaxy S® 4, Galaxy S® 4 mini™, Galaxy S® 4 Active™, Galaxy S® 4 zoom™, Galaxy S® III, Galaxy S® III mini™, Galaxy Mega®, Galaxy Light, Galaxy Note® 8.0, Galaxy Tab® 3, Galaxy Note® 10.1, Galaxy Note® 10.1 2014 Edition.
Availability varies by carrier and product, with updates beginning today and continuing throughout the coming months.
If you have one of the Galaxy devices mentioned in the announcement, be sure to let us know when/if the update lands. T-Mobile isn’t always speedy when it comes to giving the green light to software updates on Android. Let’s hope these start to land pretty snappish.
Nice. going to have to Odin back to stock then.
Still months away

Don't update, the bootloader might be locked. It best to wait for a dev to get a hold of the firmware and make it into a flashable rom that doesn't include the bootloader.

I am used to waiting to take updates being on VZW and what they did with breaking root with the Bionic and then the S4 fiasco. But why would Tmobile launch a phone with an unlocked bootloader only to lock it after an OTA update? It's one thing to patch an exploit, but to lock an unlocked bootloader when it was meant to launch unlocked I think would be stange. Again, I'm waiting anyway, but I think the phone will stay unlocked.
Not sure how excited I am for 4.4.2
No app ops. I can't believe google would intentionally remove a vital security feature. I guess we'll just have to add it back in

I agree! In fact, that's the first thing I thought about when I heard about the news.
We do, however, still have xPrivacy, though. I've donated to the developer and hopefully we'll see continued development including, I hope, a more user-friendly system closer to the way App Ops works. (For the record, I'm not knocking xProvacy; rather I'm pointing out that it could be easier to manage for laymen like myself.)

i'm guessing you are right. But you have to remember, it's not TMO that's doing it. It's all part of Sammy Knox initiative to make the phones more secure. If you have an unlocked bootloader, there's no way to say that your product is secure. We've picked apart the last 3 builds /na6/na7/nb3 of kitkat from germany, and there's alot of pointless crap built into these roms that will have to be pulled out to , along with the regular developmental crap that sammy puts in there for "Future Updates" Like fingerprints scanner perms and instructions, radios that will never be used, and something pointing to a backup antennae even though the phone does not have one (that's for the note 10.1)
I think they are being lazy, , making one huge TW Rom and then modifying it for individual devices. If you look at the S4 release and the Note 3 release, they are identical builds minus screen size settings and the addition of spen support.
Any idea when the TMobile update will be available? Sprint customers are getting theirs from today.
Some people from g+ are claiming to get the Sprint updates yesterday. Wonder if someone from TMO got updated too.
There is a complete silence regarding Tmobile update. Even the dog slow at&t has a leaked version out.
Apparently us cellular is getting their update as well.
Here's the link if any one is curious.

Apparently using Mobile Odin you can flash the update with rootkeeper and you keep Knox at 0x0 and get a rooted 4.4.2 (make sure you set it to reboot into download to flash the bootloader)

I loved that, too. It looks like Google disabled the functionality for devices that didn't get a factory KitKat ROM as of April 14th. I would post a link to the Google support page about it, but I'm too new to XDA to post links.
I started getting notices in the app over the last month, then the functionality disappeared on April 14th, just as it described. I'm not sure what the technical reason was, if any.

So they removed this for everyone? I thought i just screwed something up when i re set up after wiping and putting on a new ROM.
That blows. Loved being able to use GWallet.
that's ridiculous is there any sort of workaround in the works?
I've moved on to the Nexus 5 a few months ago but I don't remember that being an issue when I had the Galaxy Nexus. I was on Verizon and used Google Wallet just fine. I don't know if they updated something that broke it though.
Maybe the gnex doesn't have the host emulation thing?

As I understand it, and I could very well be wrong, but I thought Host card emulation was a completely software driven system. No more need for the secure element on the Gnex anymore.

I'm relatively new to the rooting scene, about a month, but I've learned a lot and am having a blast getting the most out of my SGH-T889. So far, after having test driven Slim Rom, several Jedi roms, Carbon, Pac Man and several others, I've settled on Jedi X20 as my favorite overall rom due to the fact that I love multi-window and installing to sd card. I like the battery efficiency, smooth look and floating notifications of KitKat though and would love to have some of the Note 3 features available.
Can you give any tips for making it a smoother experience if I want to try what you guys are suggesting? Specific apks/flashes to look for for modem /apn/feature downloads/links? I'm not afraid of reading and teaching myself, but some help in cutting down the searching time would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!! :good:

Jedi Roms were my go to rom for a very long time. Try a custom kernel. Below link is in the Note 2 7105 model. Try Agni kernel,there is a jellybean and a kitkat kernel. Do not flash anything for the "Note 2 N7100" is if for Non-LTE phones. Only flash zips for the N7105 the LTE version.
This can give you 20+ hours of battery life on jellybean. I using it on Kitkat now and its awseome.
Cheers.

Been running ezKAT v2 for more than a month now. It is outstanding. All the note 3 features and it is stable. Same as mentioned above, I installed foldermount and sdcardfix and ALL features (including installing to SD card) work flawlessly. Absolutely love it.
Thanks for the help guys. Rooting is the Shiznit! Can't wait to try Android L when it lands, but have a feeling I'll end up coming back to ezKat. I'll just make a full backup first so I can easily restore if I wish. Easy peasy!

Does ezKat support wifi calling for t-mobile? I'm looking for a ROM that can support multi-window and wifi calling. I was leaning toward the Jedi Master but have seen these threads about N3 features and some look really nice. I don't have any experience rooting phones, but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty as I've done the equivalent to a few different types of devices. Thanks in advance for the help!

I don't use ezkat but i dont think it supports wifi calling that tmobile offers. But, now that google hangouts allows calling within the app, you can make calls using your gvoice number direct from the app as long as you are connected to the internet. It's the same as wifi calling except that you will be using your gvoice number instead of your t-mobile number.

I think as long as you choose any of the t-mobile TW roms, you will get wifi calling. I think the JEDIX is probably the best out there.

Use the Master X2 as that is the latter. Both will have wifi calling but I think X20 is 4.1 while X2 is 4.3.

Thank you! I'll give it a shot. BTW, can you point me to the best/most recent guide for rooting/flashing/etc the t889? I've been reading for days and there are so many pages and threads around the internet about various iterations of the Note 2 that choosing one is almost a stab in the dark. Tons of forum threads come up that are outdated, but there's not really a way to tell they're outdated except maybe by the post/update date. I really appreciate your help, and I'm sure anyone that will be searching for the same guidance in the near future will appreciate it too.:good:

Note 3 ROMS, Etc.

Does ezKat support wifi calling for t-mobile? I'm looking for a ROM that can support multi-window and wifi calling. I was leaning toward the Jedi Master but have seen these threads about N3 features and some look really nice. I don't have any experience rooting phones, but I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty as I've done the equivalent to a few different types of devices. Thanks in advance for the help!

So...
I re-joined under a new login due to problems with the space in my previous screen name, but I digress...
Soooo... EzKat was the first "Note 3" rom I tried for the Note 2 and it was awesome to basically have a Note 3 in a Note 2 for a while. But.... after having test driven EzKAt for a while, I found it to have some issues. First of all, it was kind of quiet, so it could be hard to hear other people and the camera wasn't great - in fact, it kind of sucked. The home button didn't function correctly, it would give an error, that "this function is not installed" or something like that - I don't recall the exact wording right now, but you get the gist. And lastly, it was not super stable - I would have to reboot the phone at least once a day.
So, after a month or so, I took the advice of others and started looking for 7105 roms. I found reviews of the DN3 (Ditto Note 3) and I downloaded it. Unfortunately there was mixed information about whether 7105 roms actually worked on the SGH-T889 (TMOBILE NOTE2). So I was skeptical about trying it. Eventually I decided to try it out. The first time I tried flashing it, it failed with an error, and I was like, "well, that sucked" guess they were wrong, 7105 roms DON'T work with this!" and I installed a CM11 rom instead.
After driving that for a month and doing some more reading, I finally decided that I must have done something wrong because it seemed that at least a COUPLE people had successfully managed to get 7105 roms running on the TMOBILE Note 2. So, I redownloaded the Ditto Note 3 rom, recopied it to my phone, recopied the old Modem - "T889UVUCMK7_Modem-Dec_9_13" and my favorite kernel "PSN_AGNi_pureSTOCK-v4.2.5_N7105_4.4.2_AROMA-signed"
I flashed the rom - successfully - without rebooting, flashed the modem. Then rebooted, just long enough to make sure WIFI was working - rebooted into recovery and flashed kernel.
That was two weeks ago. Since then I've not had to reboot the phone one time. It is ROCK solid stable. Loud and clear. Camera is FANTASTIC!!! Action shots of my kid skateboarding are crystal clear and in focus every time!! One of my favorite things is, because its an an international rom for the 7105 - the Google chick is this hot sounding British babe!! I love it every morning when she tells me the weather! LoL!! But seriously, I am really really happy with the Ditto 3 rom. So, now I know for sure, 7105 roms (at least this one!) DO actually work on the SGH-T889.
So, I hope this helps someone else out that was as confused as I was. Good luck everyone!! :good:

Re installed the modem.. now it works
Any love for KK kernels?
I figured I would try asking here since it is sort of relevant.
Besides the AGNi kernel, I have not been able to find other KK kernels that work with our T889s. I don't know if it is the kernel itself or a setting but there is a glitch when listening to music that causes a high pitch screeching sound to cut out the music.
Does anyone know/expect that the Note 4 will have a working Google Wallet? The Verizon Galaxy S5 works with Google Wallet right out of the box, right? I don't want to have to use ISIS/Softpay. This is one of the big deciding factors for me.
Thanks!

I'm pretty sure it will. Since I don't have the note 4 in my hands yet so no one can verify 100% for sure, but only 99% )
An Android device not being able to use Google Wallet would be like an IPhone not being able to us Apple Pay. I've had the Note 2-s S4-S5... never had issue with not being able to us Wallet, even with ISIS being installed.
Note 3 couldn't use tap and pay in GW. Most others could. The wallet minus tap and pay always worked.
I think it will work they even removed the note 3 from the devices that it wouldn't work on just a little while ago.

Hmm... I believe I was able to use I with my note 3, it was from T-Mobile and It was unlocked. I remember only one rom I tried out let me set up tap to pay. Though there are no places to actually use tap to pay, so I never tried it. Even if you can't use your phone to pay, I don't feel that's a huge deciding factor. People bought the iPhone 6 and tap to pay was supposed to be a feature but there isn't that feature yet, not on my wife's phone anyway.
Well.. my Galaxy S3 won't work with tap & pay (yes, I was really referring to tap & pay). I read somewhere it has to do with how the phone is built and how Google has changed the way tap & pay works or something, so old phones are screwed. I guess we're good! :good:
i believe it is a Verizon thing where they want you to use Softcard (formerly ISIS) so they disabled the ability to use the Tap feature

This is the current list granted note 4 no out long enough to be listed if not working but hopeful because note 3 was on it and removed not to long ago.
