I was wondering when the Samsung Galaxy SIV comes out. I looked it up and I get several different answers from different sites and Idk if any of them are right or wrong.

Alright thank you! Its really annoying getting all these different release dates because you never know which ones to trust considering they are all rumored.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
At&t is doing preorders starting April 16th with no confirmed release date. T-Mobile says May 1st is the release date for them. And Sprint has said nothing although I think it past through the FCC today which means around the May I would think. A regional manager from a Sprint corporate store told me July but I've rarely come across anyone that works at any carrier that usually knows what they are talking about.

early may --> early june. I'm going to wait for the hype to die down before I get mine. I'll probably wait a month or two after it comes out so they can get all the bugs/hardware flaws worked out. Side by side, the S3 and S4 probably will have no visual differences in speed. Unless you are using your phone to run high end games/apps....I dont see the point of buying the s4. 4 processors are nice...but under normal circumstances your phone never really uses more than two cores for basic use.
Sprint is saying the HTC One is dropping on April 19, so Id say Samsung will try to get as close to that date as possible

Look at the last sentence of the first paragraph it says the second quarter of this year so should be soon.

The second quarter just started and ends June 30th. Also that's if everything goes exactly to plan, no delays and what not. I'm thinking May though, it could easily be June.

Has anybody heard anything about the note 2 and when its coming to nz? It's on mobicity, but would prefer to wait for it to come to a carrier eg. 2degrees.

Not sooner than the end of the October. Can't be more specific than that, but my source is beyond dispute.

Yeah, wish it had been a simultaneous release like the S3, but I guess the staggered release schedule for the Note 2 reflects its placement as a more niche device (also with the delays/shortfalls of stock for the grey colour in markets like the UK it is likely that production numbers are having an impact on the rollout).
It could even be early next year

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

The article is about the original Note. The only place I see the Note 2 mentioned is in the title.
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

This was being discussed in another thread and someone pointed out that it's probably something like Wi-Fi calling which is making it take longer than the Sprint update.

If Sprint is releasing it already & AT&T & Verizon are expected to have it by Nov 27th, what is the likelihood that T-Mobile will not have it this month?
Also what ever happened to the Galaxy Note II Screen Recorder function ?

I think itll be bundled with the 4.2. Update. But its not exactly killing me to wait for it. This phone is a beast and its the phone ive always been looking for. I think itll be a while before we get it though

Isnt 4.2 being released with the nexus 4? If so we won't see it I bet for 2-4 months, if not later.

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?
So I read earlier today this phone, despite lasting less time than other smart phones before its time, is coming to an end. Will devs jump ship too? Will we be seeing any unofficial key lime once it launches? Maybe 4.2 tw ROMs?
I understand s4 is out now, but hardware wise it isn't too drastically different right? Or should I just swap this in like everybody else?

This is still one if the best phones out there. And besides, I seriously doubt theyll stop selling the s3 before the s2?

Only two devices I would give my S3 up for, the note 3 or the next nexus device (as long as it isn't made by LG and the back isn't glass). Until then, I'm perfectly happy keeping my S3.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
The S3 is one of the best selling phones so I doubt we'll see it abandoned any time soon. I'm sure we'll see a keylime pie release. I remember when the s2 was supposed to end at ICS but it seems to run JB just fine. I wouldn't even be surprised if it also gets keylime though it would probably be an unofficial release.
Anyone else puzzled by this release date? 3rd quarter ends at the end of September, and it really doesn't look like Samsung are going to make that. But they would have known that when they announced it too, so anyone any clue what a quarter is to Samsung?
Id say wait till the 25th.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
It looks like Samsung runs a calendar year Fiscal Year so likely are releasing it on 9/25 but may not take into account any "shipped" sales as part of the 3rd quarter numbers. Instead take those numbers as sales into the 4th quarter since they may or may not be in transit. We don't know.
i saw somewhere on XDA that the release wouldnt be until early october, i'll have to try to find it again. anyways i find it strange that if they ARE going to release it on the 25th that we haven't been allowed to preorder etc. they've released no details about release date or pricing.
You would think if it was going to be released in 3 days we would atleast know the price or a for sure date or who was selling it.

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...
