[Q] Should we allow the initial update? - Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my Verizon Note 4 today and it wanted to do a system update. I plan on rooting it when and if its available in the near future, so I am not to sure if I should update or not. Anyone?

When will the multi-view update be available?

Has a date be announced? Why does t mobile have to lag behind on things like these, other carriers have it. Is there a way to get it currently without rooting? Also, is this 4.1.2 or 4
2? Which comes with photosphere? Sorry for all tue questions, just can't wait to show off to friends with iphones.

Were all excited, some may flame you for not searching but we all need to learn from somewhere right? Our updates always take a while. You have to think, first google releases firmware ie 4.1 then samsung has to mess with it and then the carrier. Since this is a samsung feature, were only waiting between samsung and tmobile. Of course nothing comes out flawless the first time ( just look at the issues nexus is having with 4.2 ) were currently on 4.1.1. Next will b 4.1.2 im hoping for the release. To be this week since verizon will have multiwindow out of the box. We shall see : )

Don't have so high expectations. I have had this feature a month or so now and have found that the only time I want to use it is when I'm using an incompatible application. I have researched rooting but it seems i then have to live without the s-pen, and tha's not going to happen.

I think you need to do some more research. Rooting will not make you lose s-pen capabilities. There are some sprint version roms with the multi Window hack that work just fine, the only ability you will lose is wifi calling

If you do it right you can get root w/ multi-window enabled, hacked for all apps, and wifi calling.
Need to install XquiziT v4, set up wifi calling. Then install XquiziT v6 without wiping. You'll have everything.
To other guy: only way you lose S-Pen is to get AOSP ROM which does not exist for 7105 variants (t-mobile, at&t, sprint, 7105, verizon) and even then some have S-pen tricks.
I tweeted tmobile help last night about the update and they had no official statement about that, so I wouldnt expect it for at least the next month. There's been a RUMOR (it's just a rumor, so dpnt take it as a fact like some have done around here) that tmobile probably wants to wait til LTE so they can do 1 update once and for all

That is not correct.
You don't lose your S pen features just because you rooted. The Buddy feature works only work with TouchWiz. But you can chose to be on TouchWiz while rooted. All other S pen features work with other Launchers rather rooted or not. Each ROM has its own limitations. So you have to look at each ROM for its limitations. But while rooted on Stock ROM you will have S pen features.
When we actually get Multi-window feature then we can use a hack from the Galaxy Note 2 forum to add most other apps to that feature. Hopefully with no issues. Which I don't see any issues coming of this hack.
Which version of Galaxy Note 2 do you have, that you have the Multi-window feature you say you have, and yet not be rooted? Are you on Sprint version? Are you using an International version?
If they waited till lte then were screwed lol. I dont expect lte till at least end of 13 considering how slow tmobile is. Well be the last ones to get it but yet the first ones to get the phone. Lame!

Nope. Powers to be say some areas will have lte by the second quarter of 2013. Some talks in the SF Bay area that some areas might start lte coming in the first quarter of 2013. Either way it is still way to long to wait for multi window feature update.

I dont know exactly when lte is coming I do know that tmobile combinded with Another carier I think metro pcs. So I would think that the areas that metro has lte would be the first areas to get tmobile lte. I could totaly be wrong I am only guessing here. As far as the update I would not expect them to wait to combine all three things. When the t989 got ICS we got a maitenance update a few weeks before so I dont think they will be worried about that. I am sure it will be available on kies soon hopfully not much m ore than a month then OTA soon after. The one thing is that this phone came with a widget to check for ota software updates that makes me think they planned on relesing a update soon but that could be wrong too.

The merger still needs to be approved and we won't be seeing anything til the end of 2013 at the earliest. And if the plan works out then they'll actually completely merge by 2015
By March we should see the update. T-Mobile is not waiting for LTE to issue an update.

March is the latest. I truly expect it by the end of the year. They have the update already. Might see a leak is the next 2 weeks or so.

I just dont understand what could take them so long....even if it comes out before the end of the year, what could possibly take TMo months longer to do that Sprint didnt do? Its not like going from ICS to JB, the base is already in place.

Update??

I got an update when I bought my note 2 yesterday it was about 8.34 mb in size does anyone know what that might be? An lte enabling update?

Probably the uvall4 update. It primarily features the kernel fix to eliminate the ExynosAbuse hole. if you are on uvalk8 presently that is what it is.

I highly doubt T-Mobile would update your phone to enable LTE when LTE is only completed in two cities (Las Vegas and Kansas City). I bet it was the UVALL4 update.
Post a screen shot of which build your own. I highly doubt its lte. Its prolly the multiview update since you said you got the phone the day before.

How about you get your facts straight dude because you obviously don't know what you're talking about. The update before UVALL4 did not contain the exynos security fix. And it is NOT a mysterious update. Again, search before posting false statements.

If the 4.1.2.update is any indicator, my guess would be summer 2014.
These announcements are ALWAYS for the international version...it takes the US carriers months to put out their updates from there. International versions do not have as much restrictions as in the US and the carriers here reserve the right to control updates. And AT&T is notoriously last in those carriers.

The 4.3 release for the S3/S4/N2 is pretty tied up to the release of the Galaxy Gear "smart" watch.
Event though the Gear will probably not sell like hot cakes, I'm pretty sure carriers will want their share of the pie sooner than later. Because of this, I'll hold on to my pink glasses and expect the update to be made available by the holidays.
I would also expect Samsung to put some pressure on the carriers to do so...

Not at all...in a way I am right here with you. They gave me an AT&T S3 to use for my job. Of course it is rooted but still on 4.1.1. But it opened my eyes to your plight.
At&t is always noted for their delay in releasing update...I wonder why...God help us all..
i've been with at&t for years and it's horrible. Thank goodness for XDA!
I'm still on 4.1.1 official w/ CF Auto Root. I keep checking, but it always (phone & Kies) tells me I have the latest version.... HOW do you get 4.1.2 officially?

You might want to check the AT&T Wireless website and make sure it has your phone listed. Maybe even call AT&T and make sure they have the proper IMEI in their system.

[Q] (HELP) Fiance's Note 2 has signal loss after 4.3 OTA

Hey guys I upgrade my fiance's Note 2 on AT&T to Android 4.3 via OTA update since the said update has been applied she has had major signal loss and pretty much no cell reception and comes in and out and its not stable any ideas? is there a way to perform a factory of factory reset via Odin? I've done a factory reset in the settings, but the same problem still exists. Or should I root the phone and reinstall the stock firmware (4.1.2) I'm thinking that it's the radio that was a bad flash during the OTA.
take it back to ATT and let them fix it
Does it still have a baseband or IMEI? Look in setting > about phone > status?

If your carrier borked up the device by their update...then "they" damaged your device...IMHO

If we did get it, it'll be at least 2-3 months after Samsung releases it. Most likely though, ATT will just trash the update and hope we upgrade our phones to the Note 5.

I have no plan or desire to "upgrade" to Note 5... no SD card, no user-replacable battery is NO "upgrade" as far as I am concerned. Samsung is losing touch with users, all for $ to snuggle up in bed with carriers.
