[Q] The Note 3 release will make easy to port 4.3 to Note 2?

Well, the thread title says all.
I'm not a developer and don't know if will be easy or not.
I ask for the experts, it will be easy for we get Note2 updates from the Note 3 or it is a different hardware and cannot be used the software from it?
Thanks

No, the update isn't from anther model, it's from Samsung,I mean, if Samsung want give it for us, it will be very very quickly, but Samsung do not want, because if note 2 get 4.3 too quickly, some people well not to but the new one. All about marketing.

The device it is the easiest to port from is the Note 8.0 I think. They are very similar. Almost identical.
Though its still hard..

why is mod locking up all Note 3 threads?

Because they don't have anything to do with the Note 2, what is also considered as "off-topic" in a section dedicated to the Note 2.
To OP. Why do you bother even think about this?! As soon as Note 3 comes out you'll get an update. These threads will get locked soon.

Note 3 have nothing to do with Note 2? What?

Note 2 has several variants but none of their roms can be ported/flashed to either device..so Note3 rom will no way be ported to Note2
Also Note2 will get update after months of launching note3(because of their marketing policy-no need to explain)

I think that my next phone will not be a Samsung. When i bought i choose it because Samsung said Note 2 was getting all the updates till Android 5.0, so i thought that they have good update policy (my previous phone was a motorola defy, and same thing there, no updates).
And about the "As soon as Note 3 comes out you'll get an update" citation, i think your wrong. Samsung is pushing everyone to buy a new device and not to make a good update policy for old devices

Oh, c'mon. Of course they wan't you to buy their newest device!! That's business 101!! What do you complain about? For companies doing marketing?! And we don't even need to discuss wether the Note 2 will get future updates or not. Given that even the S2 will get (or got?) 4.2.2 (delivered with 2.3 and got updated to 2.3.6>4.0>4.0.4>4.1.1>4.1.2) that's 6 updates including 4.2.2!!! Evene if it'll be late, im pretty sure it'll come.

what's wrong with buying new phone? You're getting both a hardware and software update.

Yeah, consumption is always a good thing. Says Mr. "FinancialWar". Pun intended? :laugh::laugh:

When S4/S3/s2 ROM can be ported in galaxy s i9000 then why not note 3 ROM/features ported in note 2
ancient galaxy s i9000(s1) has more 4.3 custom ROMs than our note 2

Kind of stupid comparison isn't it?
would you rather use i9000 with 4.3 rom or Note 2 with 4.1.1 rom??

No, its not stupid comparison .
I am using boht of them
but you did not get the point. did you?
I was saying that when JB 4.3 can be ported in old galaxy s with limited hardware and RAM then we can expect 4.3 for our note 2

It's called software optimization. ..
Not easy. .
And the note 3 is getting new s pen features in 4.3. . So Samsung does not want to release those features to note 2 before note 3 is launched.. plain simple. .just got to wait .

[Q] New Samsung Galaxy Note device: Note 2 or 3?

Hello,
I'm getting rid of my old Nokia n900 and looking into the world of Android devices.
Right now I'm in between Note 2 and Note 3. Regarding KNOX, eFUSE and rooting, which Note should I chose over the other one and why?
Is the Note 2 software-wise on the same level as the Note 3? With custom ROM's it seems to be but that would trigger eFUSE/KNOX and void the guarantee?
Thanks a lot!

Note 2 is better ....Note 3 might have extra features bt u can get them on note 2 by rooting.
Note 2 right now has gr8 on price
And also note 3 is unstable..

i really dont know which place u belong to but i will be referring to india for the time being..
Comparing the phones is not actually the right thing..
Those who have a NOTE 2 dont find it WORTH upgrading to a Note 3..!!
Having said this.. Note 2 costs 26-28 k depending on the place you are located in india..!
Note 3 costs 44-47 K again depending on state to state..!
so the difference is pretty huge..!
Note 2 is getting kitkat which is the latest android version for the time being.. But it is not getting any of the Note 3 features..!
And as far as my eperience goes with samsung KK 4.4.2 will be the last update for Note 2
Note 3 has already got kitkat official now..!
So u will be rooting a Note 2 triggering knox or voding warranty ( if it has 4.3 Out of the box) else u wont trigger knox and find a way around like we all have done here..!
and u will flash Note 3 pack to have a note 3 feel..!
So my take is If u can afford (i could not) Go for a Note 3 directly and stick to it for some time.. For me Note 3 is the only touchwiz phone i have not seen lagging till date..!!
Cheers..!

Thanks for your replies! As I don't own either of them it won't be an upgrade but a start from scratch.
I've found an unused Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with T-Mobile branding for € 250. I guess that's a bargain.
A new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7105 LTE will be € 329 cheapest from a shop, used ones are around € 260 on Ebay.
Looking forward to get that Note 3 - I was looking for a black one and this is white but no questioning for the price.

I think it is a good deal.................. go ahead

Any word on official lollipop update?

Back in the fall, I think it was expected we'd get it in February. Any new word?

My guessing is somewhere this year. I own a tab s and reports from sammobile say that the Tab s gets it somewhere in the spring. Im not sure about the tab pros though

Any such predictions are pure speculation and are pointless. Make up what ever date you want. It will be no more or less accurate than any other random XDA member.

Today samsung show lollipop on galaxy tab s (8.4 and 10.1) running 5.0.2 . So we know know the modification of touchwiz for lollipop tablets its almost finished . I suppouse it was easier to bring lollipop for smartphones and also tjey are their most important product so its easy to see why tjey wanted to update them before tablets.

I can only hope the pro models are included, considering their specs and general "newness".

Personally I can't see any Lollipop 5.0 version coming to the Tab Pro soon, Samsung have been rolling out T320XXU1BNI1 for 6 months now which is 4.4.2 update.
As this is still being rolled out then this will delay any 5.0 version coming to the Tab Pro, why spend time and resources rolling out an update to 4.4.2 if you intended to roll out 5.0.
Be nice if 5.0 did come to the Tab Pro but if it is, don't think its going to be very soon if at all.
Samsung Live Updates

they are. The tablets will receive lollipop are the 3 tab pro , the 3 tab s and the note 10.1 (2014) . Of course they have priorities but we can always wait for a port to use in the midtime

I probably read similar articles as you but I think that they tended to say Note Pro, Tab S and Galaxy Note 2014, as getting it but any other Tabs are unlikely, whatever does happen is out of our control anyway all we can do is wait and see what Samsung do.

if we dont get official we can hope someone port those lollipop roms to tabs pro (like it was done to give touchwiz kitkat to the s3 or lollipop to the s4 using a note 3 rom)

spoke with Samsung rep..
I spoke with a Samsung tech 2 weeks ago and she told me the Tab S will be getting the upgrade in the spring an tab pro was not on the update list yet...but probably would get it..

[Q] Is this it for software updates to the 8.4?

I bought a Tab Pro 8.4 on Black Friday and I haven't received a single OS update since. I'm on 4.4.2 and I actually like my tablet a lot and everything runs well aside from some occasional touchscreen over-sensitivity. Still, I'd at least like to see a 4.4.4 update before they mothball it. Has there been any official word about an upcoming update? I know I can get more recent firmware versions by flashing a ROM but I don't care for CM and I don't want to break the multi-window feature or the Samsung features that sync with my Samsung Smart TV.

Actually, I've got mine rooted and tweaked with Xposed Framework modules so it's just the way I like it. I'm not sure I would install an update when it came out.

There is an update for the 8.4 WiFi only T320 version just released but its only an update to the current 4.4.2, don't know about other 8.4 PRO versions though.
Don't expect this TAB to get 5.0.

Samsung takes a while for updates... I've been waiting months for 5.0 on my tab S. And it's a flagship device!

Agree with that they are slow but they only really do updates in the first 12 - 14 months after that its just minor things never a full rom, my tab was February 2104 so I am really not expecting it to ever get 5.0, the TAB S was released in the summer time so much more likely to get it, its all just hope really.
This extract from techradar says
Samsung doesn't seem great at updating its tablets either. There's a good chance recent slates like its Note Pro and Tab S ranges and even the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 will get Android Lollipop, but anything older or low end is probably not going to happen.
And looking here when you scroll down to the Samsung section there isn't much relating to TABS either

How to unroot a device that has never been rooted?

Sprint Samsung Note 10 Plus
WiFi 44mm Galaxy Watch Active2
Samsung Knox Version 3.4.1
Android 10 (stock)
Hello. I am trying to use the new Samsung Health monitor app with my Note 10 Plus and Galaxy Watch Active2's new ECG function. It keeps telling me it can not open the app because my device is rooted. I have not rooted a phone since my S4. I've owned an S6 Edge, S8 Plus, and now the note 10 plus. I did have busy box still in my apps that were backed up to my app store. I uninstalled it. I did not have supers installed on this phone but zI believe it might have made it as far as my S8 Plus before I uninstalled it. I can't use any of the rooted fixes I came across and unroot apps don't work. They won't run because there is no root detected. I have not tried reset because it is not a new problem. My S8 Plus and now this phone show as being rooted. I use Webroot Secure Anywhere security. It has told me the phone is rooted from day one of ownership. The same for my S8 Plus. It is almost like a file or app that gets restored or installed when all of my backed items are transferred my device. I really want to use the ecg function on my watch for health reasons. I am at a loss for what to do. One thing to note my S4 was rooted. It died and was never u rooted. My S6 was purchased and my S4 data restored to the phone. Then S6 to S8 and finally S8 Plus data to Note 10 Plus.
I have not reset the phone and would prefer not to. I am working 7 days a week. The time to restore afterward is an issue. I will if that's what I must do but, I won't be able to for a while. Plus I don't have a complete backup for all my apps. I'd lose a lot I'd rather not lose.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

assuming it is not a 2nd hand phone i would try with webroot software removed

It is not. Bought it directly from Samsung. Well.... I'm assuming it is not. I paid for a brand new phone. Thank you. I will try that
