Note 2 running 4.2 out of box?

Do you think the Note 2 on Verizon might have possibility of running 4.2?
If not, when would it be released? I want all those features.

Never mind. A quick Google search shows Q1 2013 for Note 2 and S3.

4.2

As of right now the strong rumor is that it will be reased in the 1Q of 2013 for the Note 2 and the GS3 However this is for unlocked GSM phones. As always if you want the latest firmware get a Nexus device or get a internatiol version of a phone. If you buy your phone from a cellphone provider like VWZ or ATT etc........They will hold at the min the update for 6 months before they give it to you. Gives them time to add in all there bloatware.
As always if you have helped you with the post please Click Thank:laugh:

That's if they give it to you at all.

4.2 does not have any juicy things like 4.1 has so I don't need it now. If it comes then it is fine otherwise I don't need it. The toggles are already there and I have continuous input already available so nothing much required. This is me and others might want something from features of 4.2

Thx, but new to droids...

Only Nexus devices get updates direct from Google.
For the Note 2 they will come from Samsung, or if you're unlucky, from the carrier.
Best thing to do is keep checking on XDA.

AT&T Galaxy Note 8

I already have the GN8 wifi and want to get the AT&T LTE verison. I can live without root if I can install 4.2.2. Is 4.2.2 available for AT&T GN8? I only see the GT-N5120 and the device number is different for the AT&T model.

If it's available, I haven't seen it yet. We're at the mercy of AT&T pushing it sadly. Has Samsung officially released it?

Love this SGH-I467 !!!
I too came from a ipad 2 64 GIG from AT&T. I cannot believe how fast this note 8 is on LTE!!! I love this Note 8, I also have a Galaxy Note 2 and probably getting a Note 3 when it drops... a la the 0 ZERO DOWN AT&T deal. I use this Note 8 for work, home and everywhere in between. I cant put it down... I just hope there will be either an 4.2 or dare I say... 4.3 update!!! And if not I know we have some kick ass developers on this site!!! So maybe we can get what we need and when we want it soon

Best Phone I have ever bought. I love the big screen.

Canadian s3 i747m 4.3?

Any news on 4.3 for i747m? I see that a lot of Canadian users are asking about the leaked update for AT&T. But anyone whose been reading them knows that the modems aren't the same.

Samsung Canada is saying late November, but then the carriers have to test it as well. I would normally think we wouldn't get it until next year but since the update adds compatibility with the Galaxy Gear, I would imagine Samsung is urging carriers to hurry with it.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using Tapatalk

In all fairness, Rogers has been fantastic pushing updates for all the devices I've used in the last year or so. So i sort of expect it anytime now. Tho I don't use my S3 hardly anymore, so I really don't care lol.

ALL NORTH AMERICAN (sgh-i747/m) galaxy s3 confirmed lollipop!!!

((((((((((((((((((((((So today I was on Samsung's Canadian website and decided to do a live chat with a representative about the S3 (SGH-I747M) and ask if the two year old handset will be updated to 4.4.4 or even 5.0.
I was shocked by what the rep told me: I've included screenies for proof that i am not lying go ahead and hold your S3s to the sky and bask in the glory of these wonderful screen shots.)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
ABOVE IS OUT DATED INFO CHECK REPLY BELOW FOR MORE ACCURATE INFORMATION REGARDING THE LOLLIPOP UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY DEVICE INFO:
ROM: SAMSUNG STOCK KITKAT 4.4.2 FIRMWARE
BASEBAND: I747MVLUFNK2
BUILD NUMBER: KOT49H.I747MVLUFNK2
CARRIER: BELL

All sgh-i747/m users will recieve lollipop via ota!!!!!!
AT&T, Rogers, Bell Telus and all other carriers carrying the SGH-I747M GALAXY SIII will recieve the Lollipop 5.0 OTA Update directly from samsung. I have now confirmed for all North american s3 users...Proof available in the screenshot included.

Even though there are rumors, I would take what the csr's say with a grain of salt.

I gave my s3 to my niece and it would be nice to get 5.0 but it may be tough to see the difference between kk and 5.0 since both would be running touch wiz.

Yes but touch wiz right now is more cartoony and now that we know we are getting lollipop we could expect a more s5 like design but more lillipopised.

No more rumors or speculation

They are not rumors anymore. I've given proof that all i747m will receive lollipop. I tried to confirm with Samsung US but they would not say anything but told me to wait and not believe any rumors that the s3 will no longer be supported. they also hinted that something is in the works, when Samsung Canada specifically confirmed that it will receive the update...only one conclusion: samsung US is keeping quiet about the update.

I had a Motorola Atrix HD and Motorola's tech support team and David Schuster of Motorola also said KK was coming to the Atrix HD and it never happened. Let's hope Samsung's CSR is right.

Even if this is true, what about root?

You spoke with a csr who could tell you anything they'd like. Kinda like s csr telling me they were installing fiber optic for my building, that was 7 years ago. Until there is public word from Samsung, carriers, or until it starts actually rolling out..... It's still a rumor.

I also am a bit sceptical. That csr never said Google had yet sent the update to Samsung, he did not say that Samsung had received the update, nor did he say that Samsung had made their changes and sent the updates to the carriers. The csr gave a flow chart but did not state if the process had actually been started. Also, once the carrier receives the update from Samsung it can take months to get released, at least based on AT&Ts past history with my first device.

IF THEY RELEASE IT, we'll let you know! IF we decide to release it! Any day now!

ROOT?

I actually hope you received correct information. It's just that I'm a bit cynical concerning the OEMs and carriers.

Verizon and system updates : what I was told

I was on hold for 15.min today waiting to speak with Verizon tech support service,and certainly felt they would never answer. So I clicked on their text they sent while I was on hold, supposedly that would connect me with their tech support.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So immediately my call was terminated and I had to wait but then got to text with text support (image above) They told me that Verizon has zero control over release of system updates, that they come directly from Samsung, and that I should call Samsung and they gave me their number.
Here is the transcript with some info redacted:

When is Verizon issuing Galaxy S20+ system update g986usqu1ate6?

We dont issue software updates sir
Only Samsung does
(Me) but you release them
Sprint and TMobile users ready have the update

If you would like that information for when samsung will send the software updates for the customers in the area you can reach out to Samsung support to get that information
Nonsense

We do not release them

We dont have the ability to do that
Only the phone developer does
(I then copied info on TMobile releases from another website)
The latest Galaxy S20 update is now rolling out to devices running on T-Mobile and Sprint’s network in the United States. This update was initially released in other markets earlier this week and brings camera improvements and the May security patch. Some countries had already received an update with the latest security patch at the beginning of the month, but that firmware wasn’t made available to carrier-locked variants in the US.
Featuring software version G98xUSQU1ATE6, the new update adds a close-up zoom toggle to the Camera app.

Okay soo Samsung are the ones to send those out they send them out by carrier and location ..................
(Me) So.... Samsung has it own communication towers and TMobile users already got the update but Verizon users didn't?
Cmon...
So I paid $1200 for a Verizon S20+ phone with a camera that focuses worse than my old Kodak ?
Seriously!
Well Verizon got my.money. Ok. Fair enough.
Peace.

The update has nothing to do with the towers you can contact Samsung at 1 (800) 726-7864

So, my friends at XDA, tell me I'm wrong and I'll shut up and just wait here with my can't focus at close range for s*hit S20+ and wait for Verizon/Samsung/whoever to release the update.

You are right that its your network who is releasing the update, but you are wrong in asking wrong person - maybe if you would wait for technical department they would give you more accurate answer to your query

But that actually *was* the Tech Support Department for Verizon, just the Chat Access version instead of the Telephone Voice access.

I think we are all in the same position - even unlocked users - no??? ATE6 was released but then ATE4 was released shortly afterwards with the June security patches. I'm not clear on whether this means certain fixes/functions were "rolled back" with the new version, or why Samsung did this. It does seem that a new version is making its way (ATF1) which we will all hopefully receive soon. I don't think Verizon is to blame here... we are all on ATE4 as the "latest."
Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong!

Well, crap, my dumb *ss is still on 4/9/2020 ---ATCT. :-\
The focusing of this s20+ is just crap up close.
I even had the S20Ultra and returned that within 14 days because it too had crap focusing, and was too big and my hands are monstrous.
WTF Samsung. Maybe I shoulda stayed with the Note10+
Meh
UPDATE! Well I just checked again and I guess I'm ok! Cause my S20+ says "Your SAMSUNG SM-G986U is up to date. No update is necessary at this time. OK".....

Another update from the crack team of specialists at TeamVerizon TechCentral
"Unfortunately we do not know when the update will be released. We are not provided that information. I can try to Google it and see"

That was helpful.

The carriers release the updates.
Verizon is always slow to release updates.
Verizon also has terrible support.
This isn't a Samsung problem.
