No there is no official 4.3. There was an official 4.3 image for the note 2 leaked yesterday so surely it cant be much longer

Oh Ok, someone said that they updated it to 4.3 officially (I live in UK) they must be lying to me! Haha joking I guess, thanks anywyss

I live in Ireland, we get the same BTU firmware you do. There was a 4.1.2 update (N8010XXUCMG1) during the week maybe thats what they were talking about.

Yeh, I expect he was just winding me up! Thankyou for your help

Has Samsung commented on officially if this will get the update. Seems like Samsung forgot about us. Feels like the of note 1 which seems to have been overshadowed by the note 2.

well they have updated the tab 2 to 4.2 and also the note 2 to 4.3. Also they need more devices to support the Gear so it would stand to reason that we would get the update to 4.3

Yeh I suppose

Well obviously Samsung is pushing the updates for the gear watch. I just don't see how a 10 inch tablet would be practical for the gear. This 4.3 update came really quick considering 4.3 just came out. Hell the s2 might even get an update as many people have it on prepaid carriers and also a lot probably got the phone free on contract. I doubt kit kat will come as quick to any Sammy devices they will probably have the attitude that be grateful we gave you an update...seriously considering nexus 5/6 for my next phone

Give me a reason that Samsung will release the update for note 10.1 2012 edition.
I guess it will no more update the 4.x ROM on the old note 10.1 to somehow force the people buy the 2014 edition.

I have given you a reason. Also they updated the tab 2 despite the tab 3 being out. i think there will be one more update but that said i dont think it will bring that many new features if any.

Dont forget, some of us are using the phone model N8000 or similar and definitely would like to get Gear working with Note 10.1. It is funny that Samsung makes updates for pocket phones (easy to carry, easy to be taken out) but where is the update for a tablet size phone?? Who needs more Gear: a person having S3 in his front pocket or a person carrying his Note 10.1 in a bag? Also with 10.1 you cannot share your SNote files anymore because phones having 4.3 has newer version of SNote and hence new file extension. You dont see how Gear would be practical a phone sized 10.1? But you think it ispractical for people who are carrying their phones in pockets? If i had a phone in my pocket, I wouldnt even consider to buy Gear (it doesnt offer any practical use for that price).
I think Im going to get Sony Smartwatch 2 for a xmas for myself. I definitely need a smartwatch working with my huge one...

Only one reason? Note 10.1 is incompatible with other Note-serie phones/tablets havng newer SNote app. We arent happy at work. Actually we are quite angry. We cannot share our SNote files anymore between people in a project group. Samsung changed their own application, SNote, to be incompatible with phones not having 4.3. Some of us bought GN3 and made changes to shared SNote files and no one cannot open the file anymore. Is this enough?
Note 10.1 (2012) is barely a year old device, should be a member of Samsung premium line, so called flagships. What premium is owning a phone without support? Remember that Note serie is marketed also for business and schools. They dont chance their devices every 6-12 months. Only premium seems to be the price....

I can see your point, for me though if I am not using my tablet it I turn it off. A phone for my usage serms more practical. When charging or when in pocket I can check email or text. Then again I hate wearing watches and love that phone have made wearing a watch not important. Not really liking the idea of the smart watch

I believe these are reasons to buy the new note 10.1, but not the reasons to push update for tablets

Indian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread -Discussion, Reviews and more

Hi all,
Starting this thread to discuss all about GS4 and its availability in India!! One stop shop for all the info.
As samsung has already informed S4 will have a global launch, so we can expect it very soon in our Indian market from the date of launch..
The device is expected to ship in coming month, April. So many street retailers will ship the device at launch time. Officially, the date is not given for India.
So guys chip your thoughts about the Galaxy S4.
This post will be updated with all useful info related to s4.
I knew it you'd be here xD, planning on getting one? Or permanent nexus fan?
Re: Official Indian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread -Discussion, Reviews and more
Buying sgs4 on my bday 8th may should be available by 5th may according to androidos
Likely to be <40k.. right? considering the S3 is now 29k.. surely over 40 would be too big a leap

Alright. I'll be moving from an iPhone 4 (yep.. that old). I have no preference between this and the HTC One.
I've been using the 16gb for a while and I know I'll be fine with the 32gb on both phones. The micro SD isnt important. Both have OTG.
I like the design on the HTC a lot more.
The battery life is important for me though. I dont see myself carrying an extra battery though.. unless the one in the phone wears out.
On my current phone, an hour of gaming uses up ~20% of the battery.. An hour of video playback on medium brightness uses up a bit over 10%.
The One X did really poorly on gaming.. The S3 did alright..
Could you guys give me an idea how the S4's battery is likely to perform.
That'll probably be the deciding factor for me.

Reading the octa core big.LITTLE concept and the massive 2600 mAh battery it will ship with, the S4 will keep you pretty happy in terms of battery.
S4 again will ouput raw power while the HTC One will take some hit due to heavily embedded Sense framework.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Most reviews seem to suggest Sense 5 is heavily toned down.. But I agree.. the bigger battery is a bonus. and the 4+4 should, in theory, be more efficient..
If Samsung hadnt gone for the hyper glazed back, it wouldve been an easy decison.. Probably the same if HTC had gone with a 2600 mah battery.
As it is, I'm confused. Battery life takes precedence though..

I tend to lose or break my phones. Had the Samsung Galaxy S for a long time and was very satisfied with it until I broke it sort of recently. Then I decided to wait for the SGS4 instead of getting the S3 right away.

If I eBay it, I know it will create another noob in the Inc S XDA forum who will then go and post without reading first, and ask how to root/S-Off/flash ROMs (even though it is rooted and s-off already), and it'll annoy everyone as every other thread in there recently is a variation of these questions which were sticky'd over 2 years ago!!!

Maybe next year when android 5 updates come to the galaxy s5 comes out we will see a 4.4 kitkat on our tablet. Priority will always be new phones and tablets. But im pretty sure we will get it some day. Also I think there is a problem with incompatibility from snote from note 3..a lot of complains will happen if the note 10.1 upgrade with it and people cang open files
Which model are you guys talking about?
I have a GN GT-N8013 ( 64G GNote 10.1 original ) and am still waiting for Samsung to come out with 4.3.
Am happy with the basic note but would really love multiple user support.
It's not likely the 8013 will see anything beyond 4.3.

Call it insider knowledge.
Note 2 and SGS3 having similar internals are supposed to get upto Android 4.4 Kitkat..so why not?
But having said that both these phones have only just started getting 4.3 few days back in some regions, so who knows Kit Kat can take couple of years to come to Note N8000, when Google release android 5
Its really a shame on Samsung, they should only release a limited number of devices each year for which they can release timely updates..
As it sits right now, we are 3 OS versions back. We will get an update in the (near?) future. Will we get 4.4? Probably. Will it be before the end of 2014? Right now it seems unlikely.

Sorry guys if this is going a *little* bit off-topic (I'm going to talk about Android 4.3, rather than 4.4, but hey, still about an update for our awesome yet forgotten 10.1....)
It's a quote from a reply on other thread, by me.
I recently spoke to a Samsung rep (Samsung's website live chat) and with a Samsung rep (in person). Both said:
"it will be updated, at least to Android 4.3, but we cannot tell you when".
So I'm pretty sure we are getting 4.3 at some point. Heck, if the Note 2 and S III got it, it's only reasonable that our Note 10.1 gets it. It was the flagship tablet of its (short) time, such as the Note 2 and S III being flagships/high-end. Everyone's been saying that Samsung won't update it to force us go for the Note 10.1 2014 edition, so why did the Note 2 and Galaxy S III get the update (ok, ok, Galaxy Gear blabla)? Wouldn't they force you to go for a Note 3 and Galaxy S IV? You get my point.
So, be prepared to wait (wait... wait... wai...), and official news about the updates *cough kitkat* are coming.
My guess is: Android 4.3 and no Android 4.4, unfortunately but thankfully.

So, be prepared to wait (wait... wait... wai...), and official news about the updates *cough kitkat* are coming.
My guess is: Android 4.3 and no Android 4.4, unfortunately but thankfully.

Dont care, as I am happy with what I got. Anyway most updates after a certain point will start requiring more hardware power. Like going from win95 to xp. Thanks for the info
I only want 4.3 since I hope that it will fix the USB host mode bug...
It's an one year old device, so hopefully they will update to 4.3

The problem that USB connections (host mode) do not always work.

Maybe only on some country's ROMs?
HAven't encountered it on mine.

well.. actually with KitKat the have gone reverse. like a phone with 512 mb can run it.
Some older model (2010) phones are capable of running a slimed version of kitkat
So there is no chance that our beloved note 10.1 couldnt run it
There are several other threads on this topic. It possibly depends on combinations of hardware and ROMs. I'm quite sure it started after the upgrade to xxucma8. It could be a combination of certain apps. But it's a nuisance.
NO Note 2 Phone updated
I keep seeing this several times on this forum . The NOTE 2 Phone has not got the 4.3 update. There is no word on when we will get it. A few days back there was a so Called leak for the [email protected] Version. Some have tried it on t-mobile(what i have note 2 phone. But with Large issues. I cant say how this leak is running on a at&t note 2.
So the bottom line is NO Update for note 2 phone.
If you find one differently let me know Because i want My Update.Its a expensive phone to be left behind.

I recently spoke to a Samsung rep (Samsung's website live chat) and with a Samsung rep (in person). Both said:
"it will be updated, at least to Android 4.3, but we cannot tell you when".
So I'm pretty sure we are getting 4.3 at some point. Heck, if the Note 2 and S III got it, it's only reasonable that our Note 10.1 gets it. It was the flagship tablet of its (short) time, such as the Note 2 and S III being flagships/high-end.

Wasn't the a contractual agreement with Google among android licensees to upgrade all devices for at least 18 months?
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/11/18/galaxy-tab-2-10-1-wi-fi-gt-p5110-receiving-android-4-2-2-update/
Seriously, if the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 gets Android 4.2.2, our Note must get some sort of update, don't you guys think? Otherwise they wouldn't update Galaxy Tab 2 and make you buy the Tab 3.
So, calm down everyone, we are probably getting a newer Android version

Didnt 2014 just came on sale in Canada? I think this is the problem - 2014 model isnt even sold world wide. I think they want people to replace their old 2012 models to new one. If they update the 2012 model, people wouldnt see any reason to upgrade or buy newer and more expenisive device. Dont know... just speculating...
But budget price tab2 gets an update before their premium line device - this is something you wont expect to see and happen when buying a premium prize device. You expect to get a premium class customer care, dont you? Unfortunately it seems to be something special that Samsung cannot offer... A flagship without updates... so sad...

Well,
i am too waiting for a next update :a welcome feature would be multi user support and some new features from Galaxy note 10.1 2014.
and keeping support for AC-3 codecs!
It's been nearly a year and i have still the same TW 4.1.2 rooted system.

Then how do you explain this: http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/10/google-clarifies-18-month-android-upgrade-program-details-far-f/
Google clarifies 18 month Android upgrade program
...LG, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, AT&T, Vodafone, Sprint, Samsung, HTC and Verizon Wireless are technically onboard,

"The only hard number thrown out today is 18 months. That's how long future hardware will be in the support cycle" (from your link above)
Support and applicable updates. I didnt see that they said phones will get all Android updates. As far as I know, there is no such contract. If you wish to get Android updates, only Nexus line is supported for 18 months.
Samsung is known to be lazy but this is too much for a premium class flagship model. It's already 10months I got A4.1. and then nothing while my bfs budget prize Asus Tf300 has 4.2 (already 6 months ago).

Yes, it's true, Asus is superb, as always when it comes to firmware updates. Very close to Nexus line.
However, their QC is another story.
BTW, anyone who says Sony is great with updates haven't any experience with their VAIO line.

NEWS: Samsung will skip 4.4.4 directly to 5; also 5 fixes a lot of the SD problems

Very good news, probably in 2-3 months at most.
Slowly im thinking we won't get any updates any more...Samsung will release another s5 version with 5.0 In 3-4 months there will be 5.3 or something then Samsung will tell we skip 5.0 to 5.3 like with 4.4.3 or now 4.4.4 and all this only to push note 4 and edge but the best part of that is that they will tell in few months that note 3 galaxy s5 got 4.4.4 cause Verizon/sprint and s5 lte a like with s3 actually they updated china/korea s3 to 4.4.4 why they are wasting time to work on region specific firmware and then bulls hit like this to current flagships (note 4 is 2 weeks old and has 4.4.4 ) im owner of tab 3 s3 s4 s5 and n3 I love Samsung but their confusing bulls hit update policy is making me pissed off that company.... I think my next phone will be oneplus one follower....or nexus ...

Bad news for the Note 4 port..
Stop been so negative. This is good news. Means we will get 5.0 even quicker. It's a very good move. Think I'll keep my note 3 now.
Dont write this on public site - Samsung may read that and dont upgrade N3 at all (then you must buy N4) I think its good move - i can wait for new android - my N3 is working fine.
I had n2, now n3 and i will buy n4 when price will a little bit lower.
note 3 will get 5.0 for sure. based on 18 months support. most ppl won't upgrade every year. note 4 is mostly for note 2 users.

2-3 is a bit too optimistic. 6 months is my wild guess. as the spen apps testing.
i think its a good move from Samsung to update the Note3 with Android 5 , this shows that ppl who buy a Samsung device ( flagship ) dont have to worry that their device would be outdated after a year and that it is a good investment.
Maybe they release that before I buy a new phone
Never Samsung again.
Maybe Huewai or Nexus.
Be glad. If we'd gotten 4.4.4,we would not have gotten 5.0.(as we already had one major upgrade, and we only get two in total.)
Oh, and normally I'm not this childish, but right now I just can't help it.
I told you so.
There. That's to everyone who told me I was wrong repeatedly and none too kindly when I said weeks ago that this would be the case.

Good good. The only issue is how long it would take. Interestingly the Tweet says the international versions.
if samsung still follow their normal screw you we lied on update style... we will keep getting push backward until all new device release got a good sale...

If it comes, it will be at most by mid 2015 !!!

There is already a version leaked for the S4 which looks promising:

I keep my estimate - first week of February (or before) for international Note 3, and we'll see at that point who was right

Tablets have completely different update policies, it's like apples and ... canned ham. Not even close.

If you give me some of yours Time to sit on PC and check if anything is Ok, sure I will anyway you don't have to read my comment if it is too complicated or you don't understand cause no grammar. [emoji6]
Of course we will get 5.0 lol... the phone is still retailing at ££549.00 here in the UK, I came from LG G3, what does that say. Also, as a sidenote somebody said "they need to sell Note 4's" that has nothing to do with it, Note 4 doesn't launch with Lollipop.
EDIT: also, people please have some consideration for people whose first language is not English. Stop being grammar nazis if you wish to complain about someones grammar, help them with it. Don't be a **** about it.
