So assuming the photos of a supposedly updated touchwiz are real what are the chances note 3, or s4 customers will get it?
Ofc Samsung might want to include it in newer devices to increase sales... But with the lack of updates we receive it would kinda be a shaft to those of us who already purchased a monster Samsung device.

I think note 3 and s4 will get update after S5 release

According to this post you can use Note 3 roms on a note 2, is it true?

There are a lot of Note 3 roms in the forums. I'm using Sky Note Air 4.3 Note 3 version right now. It works without any issues.

Using the same one.....works well.
But use a note 3 rom that has been ported to note 2. You can't download and flash a note 3 rom on the note 2. The roms in the dev section have note 3 features.
I am eligible for an upgrade and was wanting some input on what others would do. Should I get the S5 or Note 3 or just wait for the Note 4 or S6 if there will be one?

I know I'm waiting for the note 4 or anything later this year.

Def not worth getting the N3 now on contract. Personally I couldn't downgrade to a smaller screen (S5). I might just buy the N3 used. I'm DEFINITELY upgrading to the N4.

I am in the same boat and have decided to just wait on the Note 4. The battery flap on the S5 ruins it for me for some reason.
I already have most all of the Note 3 features on my Note 2 so there is no real reason to upgrade to that one either.
Thanks for your input everyone. I think I'll be waiting for the Note 4 as well. I also don't see myself downgrading to a smaller screen since I've had the Note 2. I kind of like the attention it gets when I pull it out. Cough cough lol

Buy a used note 3 and wait to use your upgrade for the note 4!

Note 4 for me.
There is a thread in the stickies for discussing upgrading and other devices. Please use it.
Thanks

Place your bets here.
Am guessing kit Kat is the last official update we are gonna see.

Highly doubt it. Most Samsung devices get 2 major updates and kitkat was be the second for us. (Thankfully we skipped 4.2.2) there will be aosp ports probably but the functionality will be greatly reduced.
Plus most of us will be moving on to the note 4 by years end...

I don't see why not. The Note 2 is more than powerful enough to run anything that Android throws out, and Kit Kat actually lowered system requirements. Even with Touchwiz on top, the Note 2 is more than powerful enough to run whatever the next version of android is.
Now, the question is, how long will it take to actually get said update...

I agree with @Leoisright doubt we will get it. Samsung states they will support their devices for 18 months. Which we have reached. Now the S3 (most versions) did get kk but that is just the exception that proves the rule. Lol.

"Greatly reduced", in this case meaning completely comparative.

Tab S 10.5 , Note Pro, Tab Pro are all Exynos too and they all got the update to Lollipop, some to 5.1.
In fact they run the exact same Exynos as us, so there's not much work to be done (in that regard) anyways...
So -yeah- nothing to do with it being Exynos... In fact I'd be much surprised if we were not to get Lolipop too. It's Samsung's pattern, their last update is greeeatly overdue but they eventually deliver. Of course we'll never get Marshmallow as it's over the 2 year window during which Samsung typically supports her products... and then they wonder why Apple is No1 in profits. Ipad 2, a 4.5 year old device and it is still getting updates (ios 4.2.1 to ios 9+ !!)
Yeah I know! It was a joke.

Oh sorry, didn't notice. Sarcasm is sometimes hard to conveyed through text...
Well, at least they kept their promise...
I agree though that 5.1.1 would have been nice at this point. Hell, my LG prepaid phone (which was also only $100) got its first Lollipop update BEFORE this $500 tablet.
Interested to see this update in action though, I hope it gets to the SM-P600 within the next week.
Haven't received it yet, but I think I am sticking with KitKat, with all the Bluetooth audio issues I have had with both my Note Pro and my Note 4, I like that my audio doesn't skip.

It´s 5.1.1 not 5.0.2
It is Android 5.1.1, NOT 5.0.2. The new device simulator is posted here.

First thing right off the bat, comparing to the exynos on the Note pro 12.2, had some lag issues, Google play store issues, but could have been a bad download. As far as new features, very similar features to the Note Pro's 5.0.2. Only thing that is not there is the toolbox bar which can save up to 5 favorite apps. I will test the Bluetooth to see if it skips like the Note Pro and the Note 4.

Side-by-side comparison of the settings left is Note 10.1 2014, right is Note Pro 12.2 with exynos processor

Maybe you need to do a full wipe (factory reset) via recovery.. (to resolve lag and google play issues)
Can you tell me if has popup windows (like note 4 and note 12.2 5.02)?
Thanks.

Updated my P607T to 5.1.1 ODIN
I was running Besonderes 5.0.2 but decided to upgrade to the official version... and pleasantly surprised to find the ODIN version of 5.1.1 on sammobile for my T-Mobile P607T..
Did the update via ODIN but it did not do full wipe... The TouchWiz kept force closing, and I did a factory reset/wipe via recovery. Now it seems to be running fine so far.. It is too early to tell if battery life improved, etc..
Yep, it has pop-up window

Very nice!
Thanks for answering.
My hope that 5.1.1 would come for all sm-p600's model too (sm-p601, sm-p600 and sm-p605).
:fingers-crossed:

Downloaded OTA, but now I can not get Twrp to stick. When I flasb Twrp it says it passed but as soon as it boots up it reverts back to stock recovery. Anyone have a solution?
Is there any hope for SM-P601 give lollipop update?
