hello,
some months ago i've seen this pic here: http://cdn.ndtv.com/tech/images/gadgets/samsung_android_444_update_roadmap_xda_leak.jpg [/urll]
this pic told us that we could expect the 4.4.4 update in november 2014
but now it is january 2015!
now i dont know: will this phone really get android 4.4.4?
it would be cool if it does get the update, because than we would able to port more note 4 apps =D
and my hopes for android lollipop become completly lost, even though the note 2 will get it
and does somebody know what ETA exactly means?
sry for my bad english
ETA=Expected to arrive

It says note but not sure note 2 suppose so
Note phabletS so we could suppose that it is for the Note and Note 2.

It also says the Ace will get kit kat, a three year old budget phone which is still on gingerbread. I don't think I'd trust that article!
Don't just read some articles and come here.

Granted the site is garbage but KK is supposed to be light on memory usage which would allow low end phones to run it without issues, even on your 500mb RAM phones. So it's not that far fetched.
I do not trust samsung, I think 4.3 is our last update for our note 2

I have faith , why ?
S2 came with gingerbread right ? then ICS , and last at JB
why would S2 be better than note 2 ?
we still on 1st version or going from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 is huge upgrade !!!!!
still more to come , just dont think about it , like many who just want update and dont use 30% of what note 2 can do
I guess the 4.3 will be the last update... Samsung doesn't play fair with updates
Well you can always go here to get the latest version of android lol anyway been such a long time since I last touched stock ROM that using it makes me feel like a fish out of water.

Many people requesting = showing Samsung the big demand and make it hard for them NOT to make an update
4.3 is likely to be our last official update. 4.4 hasn't even been released yet and our model just got superseded. Samsung has little vested interest in keeping the Note2 fan base up to date. Furthermore 4.4 has been documented as a major upgrade, so the cost will be significant for Samsung and the carriers to put dev time into it. It will be comparable to the GB to ICS upgrade which saw a lot of superseded handsets miss out.
Well, we should wait and see. The SGS2 has been receiving updates, hasn't it? Slowly, but sure. It's getting updates and fixes.
Sometimes I want to buy the next nexus phone because it's Google so no worries about the updates..

It might be late but we will definitely get the 4.4 update. Samsung might be slow but never leaves its flagship phones without updates so soon.

Agreed. Goodbye Samsung. It's pathetic that its going to 2014 before a phone released in October 2012 gets a software update. You've lost me as well.

More like January or Feb, I'd say or maybe never...at least for the Sprint variant. It isn't in Sprint's interest to push updates unless the other carriers do. Of course Samsung wants to get these updates moving because they want the public to feel they'll be supported if they purchase a Samsung branded device but brand loyalty isn't in Sprints interests unless the brand is Sprint and that of course is usually maintained at the end of a very thin thread as it is.
As for the possibility of receiving the 4.3 update. I'm always excited about OTA updates because updates play a fairly big role in future versions of Android. The more updates there are the more well understood it is what the public wants/needs from future versions because of the broader spectrum of users providing feedback.
For my own personal device...I don't care. I run what I want on my device anyway regardless of whatever Samsung/Sprint/Google push. I don't give a rats ass about having a "pure" Android experience or being the first to get the latest version (no offense to the Nexus fans) either. I want my device dirty and nasty with a big moustache. I don't want be like one of those creeps that hangs around the strip clubs but never pays for a lap dance...I'm in the champaign room and let me tell you there is more going on in there than the song says. Why do you think I'm hanging around here? Trick it, brick it, fix it, trick it and brick it again...that's what it all about.

a million times, this.. love the removable battery and storage but not sure if it's worth the [email protected]!%
Yea don't really care because Google separated their core services from the operating system so most of the really great feature are now pushed through Google rather than being a part of a new os version.
Android updates aren't as feature rich anymore.

To the ones complaining who are you going to then? Unless its a Google phone it will be the same across all manufacturers. At least we have a date. Samsung actually announces all devices that will be upgraded at the same time unlike others like HTC who just tells u that their it phone of the moment will be upgraded while the rest get lost in forgotten land. Samsung actually has been the best non Google manufacturer with updates to their Galaxy line..

Pretty sure that you're missing the point.
The updates that we all are anxious for are system updates that ROM devs can work with, make better ROMs for us all. Definitely worth "complaining" about.
That other thread is about a fault where the phone thinks it needs a software update, but not really, or the update in question is actually not desirable for whatever reason.
Welcome to XDA.

I've been thinking long n hard about that, as an option. I do love my Note2, with the exception of the plastic, it's a badass device. But I don't actually use the pen as much as I thought I would. So taking a long look at the HTC Mega (?), and hoping that it makes it to the US... I allow myself a new phone every year, it being a hobby I indulge myself in, and I always buy outright, no ETF charges...

I'll never buy any Samsung or any other company's phone...I'll stick with googles' own phone, this way I can get updated ASAP.....have to wait until next year to get the Kitkat on my Note 2, and didn't even get the 4.3 yet...GOD what's wrong with Samsung..?
Does your phone not work with the current firmware? Did you purchase a license agreement with Samsung or your mobile carrier saying that your phone would ever receive more than bug fixes?

Customer service would give you the best answer but for me I'm on the framlly plan so I get a new phone after every one year and I do have to turn in my current device. Depends on your plan so again I'd just call them.

If you want to change just take the Note 4 back to sprint and say you want the s6 but you will have to start the payments all over again

so i was in the same boat - I upgraded to the note 3 and switched to framily and since no one wanted to join my framily I got off it and went to the 60 unlimited which you would of had to pay $10 a month to keep your yearly upgrades - Well I didn't know that so I was on my 13th payment of my easy pay and the guy at the sprint store gave a number to call a call center and explain it and they may give me and early upgrade since I was unaware I was loosing my yearly upgrade - and they gave it to me - had to give the note 3 back and they asked what condition it was in and it was still in pristine condition so I upgraded to the note 4 and went on the 12 month lease - it's bull**** but i understand why they do what they do and how they are really trying hard to get all these phones back - cause they used to just give em away cause you never had to give your phone back when you upgraded thats how i still have my s4 and s3 - and I will look for that number and update but any sprint store associate be able to provide
