multi screen.... - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II

I dont see any other posts for this so here goes...
Is there any eta of when the multi view update will be available for our phone?
And this kind of leads me to my second question... I got the phone with the $250 down and you pay an extra $20 a month but the plan itself is 20 dollars cheaper (just jumped ship from att for unlimited data). Should I have just bought the international/unlocked one, seeing as how it would have worked with the 42 hspa+ anyway... updates will be much faster for that phone and more from.selection too... just thinking.. would have multi window now if I get that one instead...

Lol you certainly need to look at the single screen properly before you ask about multiview. ..lol.But seriously theirs at least three separate posts about it saying that we need to wait for the update for this and a few more features to be enabled.

I'm just going to speculate that once all the other US carriers release their GN2, then we'll perhaps start hearing some announcement maybe.

The Verizon Gnote 2 is rumored to have multiwindow enable out of box. If that's true then an update SHOULD happen slightly before or after. If not then people should raise hell as it is obviously ready with Europe, Asia, and Verizon having it enable.

T-Mobile GN2 Update Needed From The Start?

Looking to get the Galaxy Note 2 from T-Mobile today, however can someone confirm that it doesn't have this 'multi-task' sifebar? Wasn't this some type of OTA update recently from Samsung to add this functionality to the international versions?
Is this something we're going to have to wait six months to get?

UK t-mobile lte note 2 came with the lastest updates that included the multi task feature
You are correct. There is no multitasking with this one. I was distracted by the other features so I didn't realize it until this morning.

I was pretty bummed to discover no split screen on mine. was the first person in the East Bay to buy one yesterday. Boo!
Spoke with a T-Mobile service rep, and she told me that T-Mobile has no plans to update our phones in the foreseeable future. Nothing is on the horizon.

Most service reps have no clue about any update. I am sure Samsung will get this out soon if not we can always get it via root.
I expect 1-2 months. After that something is wrong.

Talking about recording and not capture. Capture works, but recording doesn't. I have literally tried every combination to see if it works and also searched the tutorial on it. It doesn't work for me. My wife could care less though she enjoys the phone.

Those are two heavy features for me in buying the phone. I really like the size and the stylus, but multiwindow and screen recorder is what sold me. I will buy the Nexus unless the next update enables both features. They have a month for me to get the cash after dropping 700 for my wife to get this phone.

Sadly something like that I shouldn't have to root for. If it is advertised I should have it on my device without having to root. I actually prefer not to root because there is nothing rooting does for me since 2.1.
Also I don't think it's a copyright or patent issue. Sony has open sourced their screen recorder and contributed to the open source community. So Samsung could use that much like CM has done for theirs.

You are so correct! There really is nothing i can think of that can talk be into rooting my GN2. I know, I know, CarrierIQ is a bad thing, but I'm now at the place where if I root my phone, I will loose the ability to use my new best friend which is the ISIS app. I'm one of the few individuals who live around the Austin Texas area, which is one of he cities that ISIS has rolled out. I have been depositing funds in my ISIS account, and using it for purchases like gas, and groceries. If I was to root my phone, I will loose ISIS, and the ability to watch movies from the Google Play store.

You can opt out of CiQ. It's on page 346 of the user manual. It doesn't specifically state that's CIQ, BUT that's what CIQ does for T-Mobile. CIQ isn't as bad a people think or claim. Due to HTC's bad implementation of the software given to them by CIQ they got a bad rap.

[Q] How to enable multi window on T-Mobile Galaxy note2?

I just bought the galaxy note 2 from T-Mobile but I can't figure out how to get the multi window.
I found somewhere that I need to do a software upgrade, but it's telling me there are no upgrades available...
Anybody know how to get the multi window working ? I really wanted this feature and I'm so angry it's not working! :crying:
You probably have wait for the update like the international versions did. I remember there being a slide tab on the left that included the apps that could run in multi-screen.

I have the Sprint version of the Note 2 and doing this does not open the multiview options. It looks to be disabled.
firmware update?
I got the T-Mobile version yesterday. I've been trying the multi-view feature but it does not work. Snooped around the web and it looks like it needs a firmware update. Some said you can updated it thru samsung's Kies software. Tried it but it says my device is not support.
Anyone have any luck?

Yes it says the same thing on when I connect it via kies. It says im not able to update with Kies.
What I find goofy is that the popup player and popup browser will work, but you cant get the true multiwindow thing to happen with other programs.

Check out this response I got from Samsung this morning. It is baffling. A simple "USA version will get an OTA very soon" would have been fine. This response is just stupid being that they advertised the feature on their website, videos, etc.

I think that's better than them not even knowing the phone features. I was chatting with a rep for over an hour and I had to explain to him what multi window was and still did not understand.
Looks like Samsung is doing the same BS HTC dose. If the feature isn't released by nov 24 im gonna make a support petition and take Samsung to small claims court and get every penny I paid back. How can they market the phone with the ability then say they are unaware if the device will support it. My neighbor took att to small claims court and won. So I wont think twice to file one against samsung. Thats the feature that sold me to this phone. Well the lie that sold me to this phone. I simply wont stand for this sh1t I want wtf I paid for. We all do!

Multiscreen update COMING SOON

According to gotta be mobile an update for the American version of the note 2 IS going to be ready soon and shortly after that pushed out to Carriers for OTA release
multiscreen IS part of this update, so it appears we should have it in several weeks!
heres the article itself check it out

A few weeks so it coincides with the Verizon release, roughly, huh? This is excellent news!
Oh wait..this update is for the original Note. Still, makes me hopeful. Maybe if they push it out for the s3 and OG Note around that time..we will get it too.

I don't see why they had to omit the feature in the first place. Like theres a processor difference or something. Glad to see it coming, but it should have been there in the first place.
Hop some one can in port a international version soon or. Or can cm10
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
It's not so much it was omitted on purpose, but that Samsung has to work with the carriers so they can add their bloatware. This most likely caused Samsung to send an earlier version of the Touchwiz'd Android so that the carriers have enough time to put in their software and tweaks and still release the phones in a timely fashion. The US variants were already released a month after the international version. We probably wouldn't have the US Note II for T-Mobile today had Samsung taken more time to get multi-window working before submitting the software to the carriers to do their thing.

That's the most logical explanation I've read thanks, so are you confident that when it is enabled for AT&T I'm hearing soon that T-Mobile will not be left behind?
I also heard that Wi-Fi will be improved along with adding the spit-screen multi-tasking multi-view, does that suggest the Wi-Fi is currently unreliable?
Also what ever happened to Samsung Galaxy Note II Screen Recorder function?
I'd like to stop having to seriously consider the international models..Thnx

Why would you think that when every other major carrier is likely getting it this month like the international Note2 has on 4.1 (before a 4.2 update that could take months for any US Note2)?
Could we get T-Mobile to comment on being competitive on this considering Sprint is releasing it already & AT&T & Verizon are expected to have it by Nov 27th?

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.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
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.

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 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.

Pure speculation, wishful thinking, or perhaps some insider information you're privy to...?

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.

T-Mobile Galaxy S4 Discussion Thread

Opening this thread to talk about the Samsung Galaxy GS4 (T-Mobile Version)
Samsung will be launching this device in 4 or so versions (Storage/Color wise).
My guess is that the device will launch in late April 2013 (Next Month)
So, Let's go ahead and talk!
(Ps. I'll update this thread when I get the device release date)
Worth a bump since I haven't seen a thread like this.
It will most likely have its own section
S4 INFO
Well, It'll end up being how the T-Mobile/Verizon etc split up into different sections.
I like cheese
Just take a look at the gs3. They have different devices for each carrier. It's a shame since it splits the development communities.

It splits the development community BUT. The T-Mobile S III could flash AT&T/T-Mobile ROM'S.
can't wait for more info to come. i'll be making the switch from AT$T to T-Mob with this phone quite possibly. trying to stick with my dev team though so we'll see

AT&T to T-Mobile!
Woo! If that happens, can't the dev team expand? ;~)
Btw, T-Mobile is getting 4G LTE like Verizon.

Actually ROMs were easily portable between the devices. So it really didn't split the community.

I believe anyone can order it then? I haven't seen restrictions relating to payment type.
Also, talked to T-Mobile Support and they told me online sales "generally" begin at 12AM PST.
