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).

Update: It looks like all CDMA devices are no longer supported, this includes the Nexus S 4G on sprint.
Update 2: There's no evidence that this will negatively impact end users and OTA's. Things are still unfolding...
Update 3: Google WILL continue to support the Verizon Galaxy Nexus via OTA's. You can put the pitch forks away if you're not a dev and just want OTA's.

This would not surprise me. Remember this is still Verizon (Major Carrier). They still want control of the devices on their networks. Kudos to them for giving users the choice of the Galaxy Nexus even though its not considered their flagship. Google not providing the device support in the future will be very bad but this shows that updates will have to come from Verizon.
I am soooo pissed I can barely type. I hope this is a mistake.

Someone might as well get the petition going now. The war has already broken out in the Droid Life comments. For User's Unlocked/Rooted/ROM'ed this isn't as big a blow but the reason most of us purchased the device was because it was a developer phone. Verizon's refusal to allow Google Wallet and support the openess of a developer phone could easily have caused this. My speculation is that Verizon doesn't want to roll out updates as fast as Google wants too and there is some kind of conflict there. Considering there is a leaked 4.0.4 and we haven't seen 4.0.3 released officially is good evidence of this. Just my opinion.

I'm pretty cynical when it comes to this sort of stuff as well but someone should feel some push back as a result of this. I purchased this phone for Google support, I wanted to get a way from Verizon.
Seriously, merge these threads into one. That page has nothing to do with updates.
The page stating CDMA devices aren't supported is for building AOSP builds for target devices. It has nothing to do with OTA updates.
You'll notice another Nexus CDMA device missing, the Nexus S 4G. Guess where it gets its updates from and always has (it's not Sprint)?

I know what you're saying, but at the end of the day you bought a locked CDMA phone on Verizon. You will never get away from Verizon unless you switch carriers and buy a different phone : / The nexus is a little farther away from Verizon compared to a "Droid" but you're crazy if you thought you were going to be as free as a bird when you bought a Nexus on big red.

Filled with quite a bit of miss information tbh.
They state the latest version of pics is 4.0.3. Its not that's only source code. And complain that peoples new phones are still on 4.0.1. That's correct but so are most retail versions.
I'd be pissed if I had a version version. But I'm not surprised as most carriers seen to want control. But the winging from .au is a bit petty. Its only mi cute builds, not like they are major builds behind.

I've been considering paying the ETF and leaving for awhile now. The only thing holding me to stay has been my unlimited data I was grandfathered into, but I'm sure that won't last much longer with the way things have been going (throttling etc.). I'll probably buy a GSM nexus and go month to month on another carrier. It's kind of the final straw.
Why is this such a big issue ? The ability to apply the stock yoku OS is available. Once that's done the phone will receive Google updates,especially for unlocked GNex

I can see why people are ungrateful.
First "fix" is developer speak for, "we are tweaking the visuals on your signal bars without actually doing anything helpful."
Second one is to support a Sprint app that I am sure is pay-for.
Last one is a simple toggle preference which I believe is nothing more than a build.prop edit.
Lets not forget what they aren't telling you: That local search will be gimped.
Yeah, I would be pissed and ungrateful too.

Is it really an update? RSSI indicator mod? That is not fixing any type of signal for your phone. It just sounds like a graphic fix to make you feel better.
Wi-fi and LTE defaulted on. I guess this is for the people who do not know they needed to turn it on. Now it will turn automatically once updated. Thing is, unless you are one of the 6 people to be in an LTE market will this really effect you? Bottom line is they need to gimp search and they are probably pressured to do it in a timely fashion. If not for that, you would not be seeing an update.
This is on update that Sprint can have first over Verizon. I will keep my search for now, thank you!
Its a epic fail because of the Be they feed you to update so they can fix some things with out you knowing. How are they not able to just say were going to take search off and give you some pretty lights for signal bars. How does it effect me. I'm with everyone else who thought they were buying pure Google phone. I keep lte off because I don't live in a lte area.
So like he said ^^^ how would this update have anything to do with me.

But cmon sprint IDC for 4.1 now I just wanna go outside and search the web with my unlimited data at speeds faster then it takes a snail to cross the finish line. And I understand there setting up lte. How long do you think theyll keep it unlimited once the get lte up and running.
Back to topic for those that want to update do you just flash back your bak up off stock and update or do u need to something else.

If I decide to root, but still keep everything else stock for now...will it affect ability to download OTA? I've been holding off. I do know I will have to re-root after it comes of course. There seems to be conflicting info wherever I've tried to search/read so I'm just asking, officially. I don't want to have to unroot to get the multi-view love.

While you are rooted you will not be able to get OTAs
The developers that we have will take the official rom and make it custom once we get updates. Rooting wont block an OTA, it will just removes the root, you could reroot, or you could just install one of the custom roms with multiview, as the devs will update roms as soon as the official updates come along. There is really nothing to loose.
Cannot wait till the OTA comes out. I'm actually enjoy Touchwiz

I am not convinced you are correct in the statement that "Rooting does not block OTA updates". I have my Galaxy Note 2 (paid full price but then Samsung is giving me $375.00 for my *old* Galaxy Note so I am not complaining) that is only rooted, no custom rom or tweaks. Every time I go to check for updates "Settings, About Device, Software Update" it always says "Update Interrupted, phone will check for updates in the next 48 hours". This seems to me like it is not actually connecting to the update server (I have tried over WiFi and over 4g with the same results).
Could be that you are right and I am wrong and my phone is not right, but everything else about my Galaxy Note II is AWESOME.
I am counting on Kies having the update as soon as AT&T does it OTA and I will just get it by direct connection to my laptop.

I am pretty sure every phone I have had that has been rooted ( 7 phones and 1 tablet) has been able to download updates some couldn't install them. Just last week my rooted nexus 7 was prompted for the 4.2 OTA and it updated successfully. There is a chance you'll lose root or even brick your device. So be careful.

I am not convinced you are correct in the statement that "Rooting does not block OTA updates". I have my Galaxy Note 2 (paid full price but then Samsung is giving me $375.00 for my *old* Galaxy Note so I am not complaining)

You should complain. I got $450 for my Note 1.

I found out about the upgrade offer via email. You might have to subscribe / register an account on their website to get emails, promos, etc. I was suprised my Note 1 upgrade was more than street value. It was a no-brainer to upgrade, although I was a bit hesitant because I like the Note 1 black color better.
Wtf note 1 trade 375. Sgs3 trade 275. Thats retarded. The 275 is better than craigslist moronic offers ive been getting. The note1 is outdated and less value than a sgs3. I dont get it the sgs3 isnt as old and far superior

Hey - it's rude to use the word retarded. You'll cry when you end up having a 'retarded' kid. Aside from that, I think the Note 1 is an alternative to the SG3. The specs are pretty much the same, but you get the bigger screen - unless you want the smaller screen.

Obviously you dont know what retard means and the note 1 compares in no way with the sgs3.

Cool news today from Samsung! :victory:
http://mobilesyrup.com/2014/02/18/samsung-outlines-kitkat-plans-for-existing-devices/
Of course, this is subject to carrier's approval...
Good news. The best part of this news is that is was confirmed by Samsung US so us here in North America will be getting this update.
YAY!
Thanks for the update.

Do you think it'll have the new touchwiz interface the sV is getting ?

I like all of you was happy to hear the news. However, with kitkat comes a new way (sounds not good for people who like to move items to removable sd cards) for us to manage our files. Im still a little confused on exactly what this means, but I guess time will tell.

Never thought we would see it .. damn ..
Any idea if this will be with the new touchwiz ui??

Should we start a pool on when it'll actually come out? I'm betting something like 8 months from now.
The only problem with that article was this statement....
"The full list is below, and of course they are subject to carrier approval."
You know AT&T will be the last and Verizon will be first, hopefully AT&T will decide to release the update to the S3.
For god sake, please remove the 4.3 Knox bootloader in the KitKat update.
No more official updates for S3, Android 4.3 was the last update.

That's from Samsung Poland regarding the international i9300 version.
Pretty sure the international i9300 will get the 4.4.2 update elsewhere in Europe.
And unless Samsung USA backtracks on its commitment to bring Android 4.4.2 to the North American SGS3, I'm confident we'll see it.

The problem that I have is that the official announcement says "select carriers" leaving me to believe that there is a possibility it could never happen with AT&T. Of course since AT&T is so large I think it will go through to avoid a massive swarm of complaints. It really comes down to how quickly they will push the release.

Good, now they can release the stock 4.3 so those of us that took the OTA update have a way back to stock.

Why would they do that?
They didn't release the 4.1.2... I will be surprised if we ever get another Odin tar.

Pretty sure Sprint releases the first update, followed by T-Mobile...then AT&T and finally Verizon. It's been that way for all devices. Ex.: the 4.3 update.
WOW, ANOTHER TOY TO PLAY WITH. OH MY GOD. WHEN DO WE GET IT? WHEN DO WE GET IT? HURRY UP AT&T. I CANNOT WAIT. OH MY GOD! WHEN DO WE GET IT? WHEN DO WE GET IT?
Look, if we ever get this update, can at least some of you hold off for a little bit and see what the update does to some of the other phones first (does it lock the bootloader, does it make battery life worse, what apps might have issues, is there a way to go back in case something goes wrong) and not make the same mistake that so many of us make with these phones by rushing to these toys, oops, updates impatiently the very first day that they come out. I call these updates toys because with the exception of the phones that have major issues, all these updates are around here is just something new to play with.
BUT WHAT IF I WANT TO, SHORTYDOGGG?
Forget it. I see that I won't get through to everybody because we are all different. Carry on everyone.

Lol, I won't be taking it. I'm on S3Rx 3.0. I'll wait til enewman17 and loserskater do their magic. I'm in no rush to have "the next big thing". Got it on my n7 LTE and I'm not too impressed.
In which site can one preorder the new one?

It would be really smart of HTC to have a worldwide launch on the 25th and get a 2 week head start on sales before the S5 attracts the sheeple.
Take this with a grain of salt...
Called a local T-Mobile store and they said they'll have plenty of stock on Tuesday! So, all these rumors of availability on launch day may be very true.

My buddy works for Verizon corporate here in Southern California. It will be available in stores here March 25th, Tuesday. Can't speak for the rest of ya but i'm sure this gives you a clear picture, no BS here. Personally i'm still gonna wait out a few weeks to see the online reviews and what not. Don't get me wrong, i'm buyin this mofo. Just saying, nice to see all the reviews, give the case companies time to actually have cases in stock to order and ship, etc. etc. Sometimes first product runs have issues as we all know so just going to wait a few to see how it goes then diving on in! Can't wait, specs that are confirmed are enough for me to buy hands down!

I hope its the m8 sometimes i walk into these tmobile reps and its like they dont know ****... Either they are really dumb or they play dumb... I walked in a tmobile store yesterday and asked and they aswell had no damn clue of what i was talking about... This is very frustrating and depressing because i dont know whether to be excited for this phone yet or not... Oh well hopefully someone will leak the tmobile inventory tommorow..

Ask them about the S5. I think people forget that Samsung's carrier is T-Mobile literally. Reason why T-Mobile were one of the last to get the M7, pushin those Samsung devices hard as their number one baby! I think if T-Moblie didn't have Samsung the way they do they would be out of business by now or a pre paid Virgin mobile type of company. How Sprint is still in business is beyond me.

Guess well all see tomorrow but quoting your link, " That is – of course – if this information turns out to be true." If so I doubt the S5 will make much of a splash when people see both phones in store as this will be available first again if true.

Its more than likely true. Online exclusive, however. Which is going to piss off jump customers, like myself.
I'm 99% gonna get the new One but a very small part of me is holding back and gonna wait for the first reviews on here like I did when I got the HTC One M7 last April
