Exactly, Officially Note 2 is supposed to get KitKat update by April.
Months after the note 3 gets the update.

A Samsung insider says that a couple of former flagships will get updated to the latest version of Android 4.4.2 KitKat within the next couple of months. Namely, the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 should get the update by the end of March this year.
A Samsung software engineer with knowledge on the subject claims that both devices will be updated in late Q1 of this year, not long after the expected Galaxy S4 KitKat rollout. The update will include performance tweaks and updates, and a few new software features.
The transparent status bar, new print feature from settings, and immersive full-screen mode will be included.
The KitKat update for the S3 and Note 2 is expected to be outed in phases, which means that carrier branded variants will likely receive the update as much as a full month later.

yes there will be an update as samsung generally gives 2 major updates for its flagship phones so note 2 got its first update that is 4.3 so there will be an update
now the question when....
hopefully in april (as told by sammobile.com)

Now or March/April (later if Samsung decides to drag again.)
Smack that Thanks button if I helped!
KitKat came in on my OmniROM, running on my Note 2.

Hope they release 4.2 at least before march. But I really don't care about 4.2, I care about android 5. It will be ported by sasmung AFTER 4.2 firmware anyway.

Together with Key Pie Lemon for the Nexuses?
LOL.. Most of places don't even have 4.1.2 (and have no timeframe) and they talk about 4.2.
Take a print: NO 4.2.X BEFORE JULY.

Any ETA of 4.2.2 or 5.0.0

I tried looking around but couldn't find anything, maybe searched google with the wrong keywords or IDK. Thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else knew any better.
No...
We have no ETA for either official version.
Rest assured if leaks are released, or official versions drop, you will see a flurry of activity regarding those builds.
Meanwhile...enjoy the fine builds we do have....IMHO....g

4.2.2 can pop up any day now for s3 and note2. 5.0 wont be available for a long time (probably will see 4.3 first, and 5.0 will be the last update for note 2).

Isn't the latest official release 4.1.2? What happened to 4.2.1? I'm sure I'm out of the loop on this.
They'll skip over 4.2.1 because it's unnecessary now that 4.2.2 is out

The real trick, is to watch for international release leaks...
Our friends on the other side of the pond will get new releases first, every time. And those builds are generally leaked.
If you see an international note 2 leak that boasts a 4.2.2 build number or higher, then you have cause to celebrate. And only hours later our devs will post the findings.
This info is of course, subject to change without notice...LOL....g

What about 4.2.2 or 4.3 for Note II from Samsung

Will we ever have a new version of software for us?
4.2.2 - missed the timeline
We heard that we will get 4.3 - No words from Samsung yesterday.
Does anybody have an idea about it.
Post on this at least to protest against Samsung about their attitude against our phone. Lets create some pressure on them to release it fast.
Cheers
I have been waiting for 4.3 update or news in 4 september but only received 4.1.2 small (~105mb) performance update yesterday.

Inviato dal mio GT-N7100 con Tapatalk 2
I would probably be satisfied with 4.1.2 except that I was running 4.2.2 on my Galaxy S in January in already. Ok, admittedly that was a custom rom, but still, to DOWNGRADEfrom a 3 year old device to my shiny new Note ll, and then never get an update is hard to live with and, IMO, entirely unacceptable. I agree that we should make a noise about this and stand up and be counted!

[Q] 4.3 Update for Note II

Hi,
So any ideas on when the 4.3 software is expected to roll out for N7100 (Note II International Version) ?

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.

I think so i mean the 4.3 leaked editions have compatible mods for the air command and i seriously hope that they have integrated those in the upcoming update and moreover the note 2 4.3 update is supposed to be compatible with the galaxy gear :laugh: so lets hope for the best :good:

Why do u say that?? I mean the Note 2 is supposed to be compatible with the galaxy gear right ? and if that's the case then the Note 3 Features should be included logically.
It is Bluetooth LE in 4.3 Android that is needed with galaxy gear manager that is needed to run gear... doesn't need other note 3 features
So Samsung will not release note 3 features to note 2..it makes business sense for them
Mj5 will be released as official.. so no note 3 apps on official release..
Lucky for us we have electron team to port those features

note 10.1 2014 4.4.2 update??

Sorry but when is the update coming? not a single update since november? i can understand the diffuculty of pushing it through carriers but even for the WIFI p600, no update has arrived. I wonder if it will even arrive before the summer.
No one knows. We will have to wait till Samsung rolls out a testfirmware or a leak.

frustrated
Its so frustrating because all the new tablets have 4.4.2 and they have identical specs asides from screen size and a multitasking button. I have been a long time apple user and "converted" to android about 9 months ago. I had an iphone then got the htc one then got the Note 3. I traded my ipad for the note 2014. I love android but I feel like the notion I am getting from android manufacturers is if you want the latest upgrade youre going to have to buy the newest device. Sorry for the rant.
With Samsung you'll need some patience.
Actually they are rolling this update out to a fair amount of their products, we are in line.....

Probably at the end of the line.
Not too big a deal imo, but the performance increase in KitKat would be sweet to have.
Like Khairy said the Galaxy Tab Pro. 10.1 is identical except for the 1 gig of ram and the S-pen. It can't be that difficult to get our Kitkat update out.

Samsung is slow with updates. I just got 4.4.2 on my S4 if you want OS updates faster you have to get a Nexus device.
It's just the way it is I can't wait for KitKat on my Note 10.1 I like it on the S4.
I only got jelly bean on my Note 2 the other day...so don't hold your breath
At the very least fix the lag on a lot of the animations, I feel like samsung is trying to get me to buy a pro series tablet. I guess 600 isn't pro enough.

I just hope it doesn't mess with my SD card access, otherwise I shall wait.
My note is just as I like it at the moment.
Seriously why do people keep asking when it's coming? That's not gonna change anything and we know just as much as you. Google it or something. Be patient people! You'll get it when you get it!
