info: Chat session has been terminated by the Samsung Agent.
It was put out awhile back in semi official form that we were not getting anything past 4.1.2. I haven't kept up but it appears the i9100 is still on 4.1.2 and even if it got 4.2.2 it was still be HIGHLY doubtful not only 4.2.2 wouldn't be developed for our varient but that Sprint would choose to spend the resources on testing. On some occasions a old variant update is moved to carrier testing and the carrier rejects testing outright.
4.2 on AOSP is the last you currently get to see of WiMax. There are no WiMax phones with android updates in development.
As far as AOSP projects and roms go 4.3 is available sans WiMax and while the CM builds seem a bit rough (Mic volume is very very very low on speakerphone) the 4.4 CyanogenMod 11 build Dastin has is working great. I haven't had GPS working this will since 2.3. Its smooth and fast but 4.4 AOSP is the end of the road for this phone to be honest. Its out of system space so it gets hairy from here on out. Custom rom users will have to either put up with stripping out apps or attempt to re partition the device for more space.
Also Samsung and Samsung support will almost never know when a phone on a US carrier is pushing an update, especially a Sprint phone. US carriers do alot of testing with all of their customization's. Samsung pushes a build to Sprint and days to weeks later it might get green lit. Samsung obviously knows when a phone is still being developed for and has a time frame for international device releases. However tech support almost never has a schedule that is not already posted on every android site in existance.

What I think is that if you want your phone updated, dont rely on the manufacturer or carrier to do it

Yep, that's why we're all here isn't it? Because stock just isn't good enough.

I have no clue why we're only hearing chatter about the Sprint version's leaked photo, but I just found this on phonedog. No clue where it came from, but thought I would share.

Let the Verizon release date rumors begin.
im getting this phone on the verizon network
With Sprint & Verizon's designs, it's the first time I see a locked-device that's more kick ass looking than an unlocked... Love the black keyboard. To bad here in Belgium we haven't got one of these
According to this guy, his contact at Verizon told him to expect a July release. http://www.examiner.com/x-11295-LA-...Touch-Pro2-headed-to-Verizon-possibly-in-July
I'll believe it when I see it, but that would be perfect.

I wonder if AT&T gets it the same time frame? I'm on ATT and this is the first time I'm excited about getting a phone that they will carry instore. I've been running at Edge speeds for too long on my Touch Pro 1 and Touch HD. I'm ready to get my 3G speed and full qwerty back. Plus a screen size nearly the same as the HD's.
Bored and did some quick math. No point really, other than just boredom. It would be nice if this timing worked out, but I'd obviously prefer it much sooner.
Yes, I also realize that Sprint released the TP on the last day of confidentiality, but hopefully it really doesn't take until Halloween.
Touch Pro
FCC Approval - July 1
Confidentiality - October 19
Sprint Release - October 19 (110 days from FCC Approval)
Verizon Release - November 24 (146 days from FCC approval)
Touch Pro2
FCC Approval - May 20
Confidentiality - October 31
Sprint Release - Unknown (September 7 is 110 days)
Verizon Release - Unknown (October 13 is 146 days)
I sure hope that's not the case. I've already been waiting a couple months to upgrade and make my work life a helllllll of a lot easier. If I had confirmation that was how long it was going to take, I would probably get the TP1 and see about upgrading to the 2 whenever.
I need this thing for work. And 3g is a big part of it. This not knowing is killing me.
I wish the photo was still there.
Please tell me you saved it!!

Finally Samsung decided to give us a date for the updates in its conference in Russia

Translation
-Samsung Wave (S8500) and Samsung Wave 2 (S8530) will receive the update with all the features of bada 2.0 in mid-November
-Samsung Wave 723: will update with all the features of bada 2.0 at the end of November
Translation
- Wave 525 and Wave 533: receive an update without some features of bada 2.0 by the end of December
Best Regards
this is generally. for russian it eill be released in the end of 2011
AND!!! Important, 525 and 523 won't get bada 2.0 - there will be a Value Pack - some nice things like chat on for 525 and 533. It was confirmed to me by samsung representative.
This is great news, I even read on Badablog.ru that a user who calls himself droider.ru spoke to one representative of Sasmung at the conference in Russia and that they are working on a Android emulator App for Bada.
Translation:
One of the Samsung representatives said that they are working on an Android Emulator App for Bada but plans and dates haven`t been made public yet.
If that`s true then this is fantastic news for us and Bada itself, since the lack of apps is Bada`s biggest problem.

This is gonna started to be interesting.

It's very interesting. Samsung's own workers say that haa. Really, if it's gonna be true a lot of user buy Bada phone for this and lot of people who sold their Wave-Wave 2 will cry
Will samfirmware release the rest of leaked bada 2.0 firmwares when there is bada 2.0 update in rusia?
If they add an android emulator to bada, I will be able to get Whatsap! That is literally the only issue I have with Bada as while I love working with wp7, until they release Apollo or a higher resolution screen format, I will rather stick with my amazingly cheap yet powerul wave 2!
Bada runs without lag. I can't say the same about most Android phones, adding the ablility to run the apps we want if we need to would make the platform a true alternative to the clusterfck of Android phones( No such thing as a cheap iOS phone or wp7 phone, Symbian is long in the tooth ).
Samsung may have let most users outside of their main areas down, but next year is another year in which they can make all things ok. (SHP I am looking at you)
Thanks for the info...updated it on badadownload.com
I have already asked the Samsung representative to prove this information on the emulator, waiting for the answer )
When i asked samsung about emulator they told this.

Typical we won`t say yes but we also won`t say no answer
OK so I was just browsing xda and in general forum I seen the ota live updates posted by Adam. Very awesome by the way. Anyway the note 2 is supposed to be the t-889 and running 4.1.1 now the sgh and the T is a dead give away for T-Mobile and even more so in these screen shots the "t-889" is already running 4.1.1 and getting a maintenance update (small) to 4.1.1 also it has the same baseband as our beloved sgs3 UVALH2 . observe in screenshots......idk I think I stumbled right into that. I could be dead wrong but thought this was cool

Preinstalled with jellybean??? Doubt it. And I think u mean relay. It has ics
Sarni I think you might be right. Becaise the current tmobile note is T879 so ot only makes sense that the tmobile note2 will be t889.
sent from my galaxy s3 w/ jellybeans using TP2
I think your right...kinda wish i had waited to upgrade cause I love that new Galaxy Note 2. Either way the GS3 is an amazing device! especially coming from the LG G2X(which also was an awesome phone.)
check this out www dot androidauthority dot com/t-mobile-galaxy-note-2-reportedly-spotted-sgh-t889-release-date-not-available-yet-112504/

might sell my gs3 and cop this if it comes to tmobile
have you paid for your GS3 all out? or if you sold it./.. would you still be paying equipment charge on that and on the note? or will the equipment charge just transfer to the new buyer?

I paid $279 for it when it came out. I am not paying anything extra a month for it. I would sell it on ebay for $500 and pay the difference out of my pocket for it
nice :good:
Samsung has posted the i317 source on their opensource website....
Just to prove how desperate for a real challenge I am, I think I might go ahead and sell my n7100 and do dev on the i317. I just hope doing a US-only variant will keep 15 year old kids (wait, he's 16 now) from stealing my work and taking donations for it.
That, by the way, was the major reason I've backed off from doing open development over the past couple months. The fact that XDA seems to be supporting that kind of behavior has only discouraged me further.

I've been there. Had a guy steal my entire rom, change the name, a few images and pawn it off as his own. Only found out because another member alerted me. However in my case, thread was locked and infraction given.
It sucks when people take advantage of us like that Gary. However I for one am glad you picked the 317 :good::highfive:
About time..lol...I knew it would be quick...
In desperate need of any ROM for i317. Soft bricked my phone via installing Chainfire3D.
This is uncomfortable:

I've _never_ been one to ask someone to hit the 'thanks' button, but I'd really appreciate if someone could get that counter to tick to another number. Not to thank the post or stroke my ego, but to just change the number.
Thanks

There you go, but can't help with black cat...
Thanks
Can someone explain what this exactly means. I've read that Samsung is just releasing minimal stuff and saying they are being supportive of development. I'm thinking about switching to the Note II on Friday from ATT SGS3, but I am scared of it having an exynos processor and not have much rom support.
DAGr8 to the Note 2? Could it be?

I have seen posts from DAGr8 that has led me to believe he has done some research on the Note 2 and it's exynos processor. I am trying to get him a Note2 so he will come aboard. Check it out HERE

After the Galaxy S4 receiving Android 4.3 update in Europe and Asia, many U.S. customers who bought their devices from different carriers started to wonder when will they receive the new update, as most of the time carriers take a lot of time before rolling out a new update. Thanks to geek.com, we now have exact dates on which U.S. network providers will start rolling out Android 4.3 for the Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 Active. The Android 4.3 update will also add Galaxy Gear support to the device, as well.
According to the leaked Best Buy document, most of the above mentioned devices should be updated to Android 4.3 in the month of November. However, Verizon and Sprint will be updating the Galaxy S4 in the last week of October. T-Mobile will roll out Android 4.3 for the Galaxy Note II in first week of December. If you own an AT&T Galaxy S4 Active then you might get disappointed to hear that AT&T will be releasing the new update with Galaxy Gear support on December 24, two months from now.
Below is a list of changes and improvements which will be coming with the new Android 4.3 update:-
- GALAXY GEAR Support
- TRIM Support (Makes the device much faster)
- ANT+ Support
- Samsung KNOX Implementation (KNOX bootloader and dedicated application)
- Samsung Wallet comes pre-loaded
- Improved RAM management
- Improved Display colour reproduction (Display looks much sharper than before)
- Improved TouchWiz Launcher (Much less launcher redraws and less lag)
- New Samsung Keyboard
- New Samsung Browser (Full screen by default, new tab interface and more)
- New Reading Mode (Optimises display for reading, used by only a few specific applications)
- New Camera firmware
- Minor UI tweaks (Contacts app, Flashlight Widget, dialog boxes etc)
Source: Geek.com Via: AndroidCentral
I'll believe it when I see it. All of the reviews I've read for the Galaxy Gear are pretty mediocre at best and I wasn't planning on getting one. CM 10.2 nightly's already a stable 4.3 ROM as it is and I haven't seen any additional functionality that interested me since Adobe introduced Flash for Android.
They are taking so long to push this update. So glad I ordered my Nexus 5

Already a bunch of "speculation" posts about 4.3
When it come it come.
It actually says 11/18. And there is already a thread about it below this one. Been known about for a week now.
Why another upgrade thread? Really?
