No they don't. This just means that Samsung is releasing it to the S3, which they already did to the Note 2. The carriers still have to approve it and release it to the devices, so it's going to be a while until the AT&T S3 gets it.

I think sammy will have an update through kies to past the carriers like they did for the S3 for 4.1.1. Hopefully soon.

They also had to wait 3 weeks longer to touch their phones. It's a trade-off, for sure. For all we know, that's why Verizon delayed releasing their phone, so they could update the firmware with multiview (and add their bloatware to it!).

meh, don't really care for it.
Yeah its not all that great, though I have only been playing around with it for a day
I think you'll only really hear people who are anal about rooting their phones, who tend to always complain about stock UI. I've owned HTC phones with stock Sense and Samsung phones with stock TouchWiz, and I've yet to find anything so terrible about either, that I feel I simply must root my phone to replace it. What exactly is so bad about stock UI?? Maybe someone can point some things out to shed a light on what I may be missing due to my ignorance.

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?

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!

If you click back through to the source of the story, they only list the international models, not the carrier specific models. There is no way to know if Sprint will actually make a release of anything. Based on the device being released just last fall, I'd expect more updates, but I'm never assuming anything until a release has a Sprint model number or RDFs start leaking out.

If Samsung can still be working on the outdated Sprint S2 perfecting Jellybean I don't see why they won't work on Keylime for the Note 2 or S3. Probably the last major updates these two devices get but I can see it coming. After all it seems like trying to stay up with updates is what Samsung has been aiming for the past few years. Doing so good at it I just finished reading a forbes article were even they give props to Samsung for keeping up with updates better than others. On another note I'm tempted to get an S4 after reading about the gaming capabilities. Opinions?

Yes I totally agree with you. Team sextape is amazing and has blessed us with multiple builds on our e4gts But, multiple s2s around the world in many different regions have already had this update pushed out by way of OTA and WE HAVE NOT. Hence why we are last. And will always be LAST. Even Canada has pushed it out and Sprint has not. We only make up so many users on Xda. Most users do not even know what sextape is lol.

Agreed. Sprint has gotten better as far as in the US. And like we have mentioned.. We have sextape lol. I've had jelly bean on my e4gt since November of last year.

Right now only AOSP based Roms are on 4.2.2 for our phone. Some people like Touchwiz Roms better. You don't have to unroot. When OTA drops you can just flash a rooted version of the OTA update or other OTA based TW Roms when they update.

I just got the new update an hour ago and wanted to share my thoughts because I know there's still a lot of people wondering what it fixes. So far I've noticed:
- Phone in general feels much much quicker.
- gallery no longer lags.
- switching from wifi to 4g o longer lags the phone
- camera is improved. Still slight shutter delay but I'm thinking it must jus be how it works since it's taking such high quality pics.
-updating apps in the play store no longer makes the phone lag.
-one of my favorite things is the home button response speed is really fast now(yes svoice home button is disabled) I noticed the home button used to lag sometimes. Much faster now.
- I noticed some buttons in the camera and gallery are different and have some extras. Haven't had much of a look yet.
-it appears all my apps are on the SD card now.
I can't comment on battery life or anything else yet but I'll keep an eye on it tonight.

Hello, I'm XDA. We clearly haven't met.
Can't ever root again......not if Samsung had the NSA itself encrypting the bootloader.
Also, the locked bootloader is only a requirment to run Samsung's Knox protection sofware, which is only really relevant for business use.

Excited to see if this fixes the slight but noticable lag on the keyboard predictions.

Just waiting for the update, I dont mind the locked bootloader as im not going to root this device anytime soon mate. However I was voing to root so I can use the apps2sd feature but since I heard about the update, root not needed. Till the galaxy s4 no longer runs the latest version of android then I will root. Tmobile your always last to do anything hurry it up will ya.

Verizon locked the Bootloader so apparently you lose root and can never root again . . .

LOL. Yeah, that'll last a day. :laugh:
Called T-Mobile and Samsung today and they both said that they didn't see anything about a new update for our S4.
was doing a Lil reading on the Interweb, seen a few post about the Galaxy note 2 possibly skipping 4.2 update and going straight to 4.3. It's suggested that the update might come out sometime in October. Not getting my hopes up it is the interweb lol. Anybody know what are some of the upgrades or tweaks they changed from 4.1 to 4.3

Saw something of that likes as well. I'm sure people will lecture me for saying this but I'm saying it anyway.
"I'm getting tired of waiting...."
I'm a very patient person and have always experienced this anticipation towards each update I've ever received since cupcake. Oh well

My ex gfs n4 is on 4.3, my daughter's tab 7-2 is on 4.2, and my own note 2, and note 10 are on 4.1 . Dammit, I buy all the devices, why are my own the farthest back?

I know the feeling, the note 2 is the first new phone I got, I normally wait for them to be out for a bit and do all the updates but had the money and really liked this phone, but always read about the updates and hate waiting lol

was just wondering if any knows whats the difference was between the 4.1 to 4.3 updates were

FYI October date if for international Touchwiz phones, not US carriers. Will be months later before US carriers accept what Sammy gives them, adds their files and then decides when it is a good time to push it.
To add to that^, I have a Galaxy S4, that I'm selling, but every other major carrier in the US, Canada, and really much of the world, has received an update so you can move apps to the SD card months ago.
T-Mobile? Not a single word about it.
It will be months after international gets 4.3 for the other 3 major carriers in the US. And likely months after that that T-Mobile sends it out.
The fragmentation is alleviated if you go custom roms

Im with you that's why I stick to stock roms but tweak them to what I want, tired of flashing different roms to find one that is close to what I want but has extra crap I don't want either broken or its just like having the boatware the carrier installs. Yes the Developers do a great job here at xda over the cell phone carriers. I haven't found one that fits what I want( mostly get rid of bloatware and a few tweaks I like) and one thing is I don't complain and do give thanks, cause I don't develop.
To all you developers who read this you do amazing work. I'm not putting you down, I'm a select few who likes to take your mods and add them to my stock rom that's all
