No, no one knows.
Is there any new feature that we can expect from 4.1.2?

You can expect full GOOGLE search capability. Doubt you will find any use tho :/
I think they should skip 4.1.2 and release 4.2. But knowing Samsung and Tmobile, I know it not going to happen I think we have better chance seeing 4.2 on the Note 3.

Every Galaxy S series phone I had, the good folks at Sammy and T-Mongols (misspelling is on purpose) from way back with the Vibrant then the SG2, then the Note2, I always experienced a full OS update change. Not a partial that we just experienced. With the Vibrant, they moved from Eclair to Froyo. On my SG2 it was from Gingerbread to ICS. So if this keeps it up, we should get out of Jellybean onto whatever is next.

I think you should skip your note 2 and get a Nexus device if you are so concerned with having the newest 1st. My G1 has a ICS build and that was the 1st android device commercially available. Use your brain if you have one, 4.2 is just around the corner and already out in the form of CM10.1. Kandy Kane will be no exception and CM11 will bring it to us before sammy sends out a touchwized version of it. Do some damn research before you just start assuming things.

What the hell is wrong with the people on XDA nowaday. Did you even think before you made your comment. Of course i know CM 10.1 w/4.2 is out. Didnt you see my comment on the other thread about madmack has a working CM10.1 4.2 rom for all lte Note 2. I know you did saw my post because you made a comment below that. I wasnt talking about asop 4.2, i was talking bout official Samsung 4.2 with Touchwiz. Does CM10.1 supports s-note, s-pen, mutli-windows etc...NO. All the features included in Samsung touchwiz are what make the phone the "Note"
But to answer your question, i do have a brain and thats why i going to take the high road. You dont have to like me or agree with my comment. But i'd appreciate it if you respect me and don't use those kind of languages.

Why would you ask if I seen it, and then state that I commented on it ? Seems pointless like your rants.

I am going to guess that the 4.1.2 will be the one that unlocks LTE...
For some reason tmo/Sammy don't take a poll on xda regarding release dates.

Wrong again. 4.1.2 just polishes the over all performance of 4.1.1, it it was an LTE thing the N7100 wouldn't have got it and they did. It just cleanes up some code and makes things smoother.

Additionally, my posts were aimed at questions people posed, which nobody had the answers to. I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to learn about what makes my phone work, make that better and pass it on. Along the way I answer some questions and point the n00bs in the right direction. If you guys have a problem with getting flamed, use the search feature before starting a new thread. It's obvious what kind of person you are assuming the Apple role, all while having a DONATE TO ME on your avatar while offering nothing but poor grammar and dimwitted responses. Cheers bro, you are doing the lord's work here.
Wrong. It has to do with timing rather than LTE. If T-Mobile doesn't get to releasing 4.1.2/4.2 until they release LTE then they will be released at the same time.
But Samsung wants to fix thier issues while still working on 4.1.2/4.2 on Note 2. Then T-Mobile needs to work on the 4.1.2/4.2. Then they set up a time to release 4.1.2/4.2 for us. And because of the Samsung fixes it may be released before T-Mobile releases thier LTE.
Again this is all about timing.

Depends on how you see a "snob".
I personally don't like the control that Apple puts on their products. So yes I am snobbish at Apple products.
I believe that devices like Android "smartphones" are really Mobile (Cellular/WiFi) Pocket Personal Computers aka MPPC. So you can say that I am a snob there too.
But what is being a technology snob have to do with the release of 4.1.2/4.2?

u heard it right they have rolled out Jb Android 4.3 (JWR66V) for nexus 4 and other for nexus 7,10 etc
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
so as far samsung is concerned it will take atleast 3 months from now if we are lucky or maybe even end of this year but yes the good news is that samsung has confirmed the 4.3 update for note2 but have not commented anything on the release date yet
There are already many many threads for same subject and I think they will be adding up

How come nexus devices get updates 1st?

Because Nexus devices are devices that are made by Google's standards and android is developed for this devices by Google themselves. Then with the android source code (AOSP) manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC, Sony etc etc. are free to make their own rom for it, this is why it will always follow later, especially 'cause they have to make sure it is completely bugfree. Next to the big manufacturers we have ofcourse developers like CyanogenMod team and other good developers (i.e. from XDA!) who provide us from great roms too, and some even better than the stock samsung roms.

Will people stop talking about the s4 sales. They just posted they made over 6.6 billion which is up from last year.
So they didn't sell as many as they wanted. Well the s3 is still an awesome phone so why would everyone just to an s4

Samsung is directly monitoring the Note II General forums, and they delay in a couple of weeks the launch every time someone starts a topic about it.

"Crap" is relative. One could call CM10.x crap for the Note 2, as it doesn't have the S-Pen features, leaving the device rather crippled compared to TW.

No, TW compared to CM actually is crap. CM S Pen Add-on, Note Buddy and Papyrus and S Pen features (incl. Pulling in or out detection) work perfectly.
definitely by the time samsung releases official 4.3 there will be 4 to 5 more threads on the same topic for sure
By the time Sammy is almost ready to release 4.3, Key Lime Pie 5.0 will be out and they will then decide to skip 4.3 for Note II and go directly to 5.0.
I am having issues building cm.
I just know how to initiate a build , I don't know how to fix because I don't know any programming language.

The galaxy S3 will be getting 4.3 in October
But I don't think it will officially get 4.4. However does officially really matter, when you can just get it unofficially?
Also by the time carriers actually start releasing 4.4 the gs3 will be a third or even fourth tier phone in the series
Also I like the idea of KitKat it was Google one upping all those people who thought they could predict them in a creative way that also set up more advertising ect...
Eh, not holding my breath. I would rather get it unofficially IMO. Nice to brag to my friends or others
"here look, I'm running the latest of android"......and your not:laugh:

The Galaxy S3 will but ours won't. Always always always when they announce updates forthcoming they are talking about the international versions. It is then up to Samsung and the carriers to invest resources to put them on US phones. Typically this takes several months IF the carrier is interested. AT&T just got 4.1.2 and it is not a pushed update.
As for 4.4 I have no doubts about the S3 getting that version but you will be asking the same hypothetical question then about 5.0.
I could see the s3 getting Kitkat, but not for a while after all of the other phones. Just because the s3 was a very successful phone and they're still being sold like crazy. Anyways, I hope I'll have Kitkat on my s5 on release .

Galaxy S phones have always had two major updates (Galaxy S1 got Froyo and Gingerbread, S2 got ICS and JB. Since Android has had multiple versions of Jelly Bean, it is hard to say whether or not they think of Jelly Bean 4.1 and Jelly Bean 4.3 as two major updates for the Galaxy S3, but if not, then it is likely we will get Android 4.4 KitKat.

True, but you will also lose the features that make this phone stand out, like its amazing camera.
They'll probably give us an update in Dec or Jan regarding when we will receive the kitkat update, which will probably be 6 months from there lol.

I brought this phone for the hardware not software. I never use the gimmick features anyway and to me the AOSP camera is good enough for me. Besides I cam from my note 2 and the difference between the note 2 on TW and the note 2 on CM was incredible. I cant wait to get CM on this baby.

Well that's you. I'm sure there are plenty of people like me who prefer a stable tw rom than an always buggy aosp rom.

I for one... am hopeful.
And this is why, I had the note 2, and am now on the note 3, Sammobile posted that 4.3 was being tested for note 2 as of 9/25/13 and all the leaked documents show that it should be released (on all carries) the end of this month or beginning of december
So, with the news that 4.4 is being tested for note 3, if (big if) they follow a similar time table, within 3 months we should have the update...
Again... this is being very hopeful. just my opinion. we will see what happens.

I have rooted/unlocked about 10 diff phones over the past 4yrs and would have agreed with you up until a short while ago. The AOSP camera is no where as great quality as a "stock" phone ever is. Reason being, the drivers are not open source. Now that I have a baby, the reason I went with the Note 3 is due to its amazing camera/camcorder, which will not even be remotely close on AOSP. Thats the reason why I will always stick with a TW ROM. I have xposed and other mods done, so its pretty much AOSP to me anyways.
I remember coming to XDA many moons ago to get fixes for my Ipaq 6513 - Windows mobile phone. There was no such thing as Android then. Those phones needs fixes like mad and XDA was here to work things out. I will only use a custom rom when the stock rom isn't up to par. That being said, I see no reason to apply a custom rom to the N3 or the N2. They were perfect out the box. CM is sorely lacking compared to TW.
Sammy may release a 4.4 update next month but I doubt T-Mobile will release it before March.
Note 2 Update will hit Dec. 2 for T-Mobile.
Rep said the same today.. I called for a question regarding a Wifi bug and all she pulled up was Kitkat update for Note 3.(it was unexpected) but she did say its in testing.
I'll be waiting for the TW update ...

I have rooted/unlocked about 10 diff phones over the past 4yrs and would have agreed with you up until a short while ago. The AOSP camera is no where as great quality as a "stock" phone ever is. Reason being, the drivers are not open source. Now that I have a baby, the reason I went with the Note 3 is due to its amazing camera/camcorder, which will not even be remotely close on AOSP. Thats the reason why I will always stick with a TW ROM. I have xposed and other mods done, so its pretty much AOSP to me anyways.

Agreed 100%. I hate the AOSP camera, it's the most basic, crappy, unintuitive thing I've ever used. I have a cat that I love to take pictures of(why yes, I AM single! lol) and every time I tried an AOSP rom on my N2 I found myself cursing the camera & searching for a decent alternative. Nothing beats the voice-controlled option-rich TW cam, as far as I'm concerned
When I bought my Note 2 the news that 4.3 was coming. Note 3 came out and never received 4.3
I'll believe it when I see it.

KitKat has been confirmed for the Galaxy S3 as I had suspected. Use this to discuss Kitkat, and post any relevant information to the release.

So I read a report. May not be real but I don't see what lends it to being fake. The AT&T Galaxy S3 may be updated to Kitkat.. Which means us here at d2tmo should also get it if this holds true.
You decide. Also post anything you find relating to Kitkat on the S3 officially. Thanks!

Samsung has confirmed that the S3 will get kitkat. Now its just a matter of waiting for the update to be finished, sent to T-Mobile to be approved, and then pushed out.
So apparently I cant post links yet but if you go to the android and me website, they have an article with a link to the press statement made by Samsung.
Based on the devices on the list, we will probably have to wait a while, at least a month or two is my guess, just considering how new each device is.
Sidenote: if you have a Nexus 5, why do you care about the S3???
Not a rumor, its been confirmed that all U.S S3 variants will be 4.4.2 It makes a lot of sense for samsung to still update firmware on the still pretty popular and 2 year old device like ours. The only thing that could knock my S3 off its pedestal could be the S5, so I'm waiting for Feb 24th to come and see if it seduces me enough to jump on it
They started rolling out kit kat yssterday. I dontvknow how long for the s3 to get it. But its about time we get it.
Updated to reflect the current release information!
What's the over/under on the likelihood that Knox has undergone a major revamp to try and make it harder to crack in the next release?
I really like my SGS3, but after all of the crap Samsung has pulled against the modding community, I think this will be my last Samsung device.

I appreciate that show of support against samsung. I approve of this message.
I'm just curious why anybody cares about touch wiz kitkat? I've used a few different kitkat roms now including cm11 and they all work pretty well. A few have some quirks but overall they've been easily reliable enough to use everyday. Other than wifi calling what else do you like about TW versus anything else?

I agree with your sentiment. WIFI calling is the only reason I use TW and now, with multiboot, I can have a TW ROM as a secondary ROM and run CM11/AOKP KK as my daily driver.
I'm sure there's a lot of other folks who prefer TW to AOSP - different strokes for different folks.
I've never really liked TW but I'm curious to see how they integrate TW S voice with kit kat Google now.

Its not that TW is bad by all means...rather its KNOX and the excessive bloat it comes with. There are much worse things than Touchwiz trust me.

Since I posted my other response I've ended up going back to TW 4.3. I didn't know this until I tried it but aosp doesn't have tv out like TW does, at least not using the hd I cable I already have. I miss some of the aosp features but I really don't notice any difference between kitkat and jellybean.
kitkat is officially rolling out for the S4. So its the Note 3 and S4 already with updates. Could the S3 be next or would they go for the Note 2 first and leave us last?

Note 2 first than S3
Samsung always updates its Note lineup before the Galaxy lineup

But when will kitkat finally be available for the s3?
I would say a couple months the most
Now is when the s4 is getting kit Kat wow. It's all about market strategy. We probably will get it at the earliest by June. Samsung probably doesn't want a 2 year old device running the same thing too close to when the s5 releases.

Shouldn't be to long considering sprint already released 3 build versions on there device manifest. The sprint galaxy s3 kitkat build is now at NC4 which means it should release this month or the next and t mobile shouldn't be far behind.
