Heh, I remember the S2 was supposed to get 4.1 last October, then it was November, then definitely in December, then it was definitely definitely March. It finally came in April.

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.

I agree, but by the time AT&T rolls out 4.3 i'll probably be looking at the S5 in a metal body hopefully!

Sadly, you are correct. Like I said...summer 2014.
Not at all friend. Ive been with At&t for 5 years. Im grandfathered in with the unlimited data plan so ive been reluctant to leave
Here's to a revolutionary S5 in the works (hopefully)!

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.

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!

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.

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?
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!

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.

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.

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.

With the international model being darn similar to ours... So long as the modem drivers don't change much it probably wouldn't be too painful to port.

Sprint might but you can bet it will be way behind the others. It always is.
Just think... The epic touch has been seeing jelly bean leaks since November and still no OTA so...

Didn't the Sprint S3 get JB first in the U.S.? I maybe wrong. I can't search it now since I'm grocery shopping with the old lady.

Lol. One of the many, many reasons why I won't but htc ever again! But again like I said the sprint epic touch is one is the last to get jelly bean. It still hasn't but the rest of the world had so yeah I wouldn't and don't expect 5.0 for us sooner than others. It simply won't happen. Never has. But I'm good with the many leaks I'm used to. Hope it continues.

Every phone I have had with Sprint going all the way back to the Samsung Moment was incredibly slow at getting updates.
Well get key lime pie for our l900's we might be last to get it but who cares. Even if sprint don't officially release it, our talented devs can hook us up with some anyways.

Very true. But lately Sprint has been on a roll when it comes to updates. At least we get updates faster than big red phones. Definitely looking forward to see what more amazing things this phone can do.

How are we going to be last? I believe the galaxy S 2 has jb already on sprint. Not officially but team sextape hooked it up. It works amazing on my epic touch. People on the other carriers are still waiting. And like I said earlier the Sprint galaxy s3 received JB first as I recalled. I know sprint and samsung came out with updates late in the past, yet, you can't ignore their recent efforts.

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. So that's why we are saying we are last... Because we ARE!

II see your point but I was comparing Sprint to other Us carriers. When it comes to international updates we are far behind unless you have an IPhone. Either way Sprint is getting better when compared to other us carriers.
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. Who the hell knows when it will actually get pushed now with the talk from Sammy about 4.2. But leak they should so for us it really doesn't matter.

Does it really matter when samsux releases the update. T mobile still has to push it. And dancing on the broken record line, as long as people selling new phones control the updates..........

Sigh, still kind of vague. I'm waiting for the push backs of December then they will say early 2014. Feels bad man.
Just smoke signals. It is getting old to be left behind on updates with new phones. Time for carriers to focus more on updates rather than sales.

While I tend to agree,
Updates don't make money for carriers, phone sales do. Why would they change that dynamic?

Because happy customers=repeat clientele. Although I've never been a big Apple fan, I now realize how important Steve Jobs was to the tech industry.
If you want updates get a nexus, otherwise be happy with your cool big screen phone with a pen

Maybe it's just this will be the third time I have gone through this. First with the behold 2, was promised to us that we would get froyo, which never happened. Second with vibrant, which was promised gingerbread, which also never happened. After that I went through nexus s, nexus s4g then galaxy nexus. Gnex was a bad daddy phone that still can hang with the newest. I was on the fence whether to get nexus 4(which my wife has) or the note. I decided that the screen and pen were more important to me then having newest software. I knew 100% what I was getting into. In the past I have complained to tmobile, signed petitions, complained to samsux, with null results. You may call me a corporate sheep, while I call myself an educated consumer.

Although Samsung is grosley behind the Nexus line up. To be fair Samsung probably has the best track record in terms of updates. The GS2 is still being supported and rumored to get 4.3. And T-Mobile ain't bad seems like we get updates faster than the other US carriers. Although I am using At&t note on T-Mo. Who cares I am sure I will get 4.3 long before official update from any carrier.

one scenario would be once samsung releases the final build -- cyanogenmod gets ahold of it and and puts together a tmobile port for it -- and they start charging for roms maybe. they are in business now to make money and their stable roms tend to be just that.. i'd pay a reasonable amount for a stable rom with all the bells and whistles. I said CM since they went public as a corp- other modders have great roms too

Doubt cm will port an OEM ROM, and especially now that they are technically a OEM. Their goal is to sell the cm experience. Now that they are a corporate they are now for profit. Now no one knows exactly how they are going to acneive that goal. Ads, teaming up with an OEM like Google does with lg and has done with Samsung and HTC. Maybe they will have their own app store. Maybe charge for the installer. Who knows

Some what good news, there is a 4.3 leak for att note 2. No root method yet. I definitely don't recommended flashing if Cuz it will have ARF modem. I plan to flash soon. I have unlocked att note. Pretty sure if a leak doesn't come out there will be flashable zips soon which will make its way to T-Mobile
