Just read that kit Kat won't be available for nexus 7 2012 edition. Anyone know if this is true?
where did you read that? and how reliable is it?
2012 Nexus 7 is still within Google's standard time frame for updates, I think it's safe to say you'll see it updated.
It seems to be listed right here!

i dont think here is correct place for you to discuss about 4.4
As per the official blog post from Google Nexus 7 will support 4.4. Since we have two nexus 7 2012 and 2013. The Blog does not call that out specifically. Will have to wait for the sources to be out

one of the advantage from kitkat is that it can install almost in older device that has 512mb RAM. our device has 1GB RAM so how could be it can't have an update??
just my 2cent..
Paranoid Android has already posted a build for the 2012 Nexus 7 wifi, so worry not

I believe they are skipping 4.2 and going straight to 4.3 on most devices (the ones that didn't launch with 4.2), then from there they're going to 5.0.
I would like to see 4.3, but honestly don't expect to see 5.0 ever on this device . . . at least not from Samsung.
They've stated it would get 5.0 in the future. Hell if google keeps taking their sweet ass time with 5.0 Samsung may just skip 4.3 and go straight to 5.0...lol.
Any word on when we may be receiving the OTA for the new firmware?

That is surprising and good news. I know Samsung does support their devices better than some other OEM's but given it came with ICS then got JB 4.1.2 I just figured it was not likely to get more than 4.2.2 or 4.3. Where did you read they were planning on 5.0?

There are other sources I think earlier in this forum too, this was just the first one I found.
Hello guys,
I searched on the internet about this topic, but I couldn't find anything related. However, I'm very curious if the first generation of Note 10.1 tablets (GT-N8000/8010/8013/8020) will get the Android OS 5 update.
Anything announced regarding this?
I think there will be No official update.
KitKat 4.4.2 will be the last version update of GT-N80xx.
Definitely not! N8000 update history:
- in a shop on september 2012 (here) with android 4.0
- got an update on january 2013 to android 4.1
- today on july 2014 still waiting an update
And im pretty sure it is a final release and the (phone)tablet is totally then forgotten...
Sent from my phone - Note 10.1 (N8000)
It's not that bad if I'm honest... The newer software actually removes some of the goodness that makes the N8000/N8010 different from the bunch, like multi-windows for example. Sure there are more bells and whistles for the S-Pen but less multitasking friendly. Basically you're left with lots of custom roms, which is not bad by itself. It just requires more effort.

That article is one year old. Hence that we didn't know that kit kat was 5.0 or 4.4 back then.

Makes sense - kitkat announced September last year. Won't get hope up then !
Yeap i highly doubt there will be an official android L update for this series. However i can't wait to flash CM12 when it comes out to the device. It will give it another lease of life.
No More official version update after 4.4.2 KK...
But it is possible to port a custom ROM for N80xx in the future...

Seriously?
I'd be happy if my 8013 get 4.4.2 - I'm not even going to pretend to expect to see L.

I love each update a manufacturer releases but to be honest i buy my device expecting none. I expect the warranty to be up held as long as I don't monkey with it (I never have a warranty). I expect build quality to be acceptable. I expect the functions it is supposed to have when I purchase it to work properly (never gonna happen because of wifi and bluetooth bug). The new OS versions usually contain a small benefit but rarely something outrageous and if I need that function (never have that I can recall since 4.0) I turn to mods. I think Samsung builds and prices these devices with a few updates in mind but to be realistic a company would go bankrupt if they produced updates for each device for as long as we the customer would like lol.

its possible, To Samsung its probably a old device and theres a half and half chance it wont get Android L, that goes the same for The galaxy s3, they both started on ICS (i think the note 2 started with jelly bean) and have gotten many updates up to kit kat which was very generous of Samsung. if it would get android L it would be about a 6months or a year AFTER Android L has came out, think about it, if your old device has the latest Android L update why go out and buy a brand new $800 phone.

We will see it

yeah like Sent1n3L said we WILL get android L custom roms, but probably not stock android L.
Android L has not been formally released. Currently it is only delivered to Nexus devices.
The latest version of Android L is not complete and stable. When there is formal version released, there should be custom ROM for Android L on Note 2.
I do not think that Samsung will release Android L update for Note 2 in future.

I don't know it, I am not from Google. I just guess based on facts.
Probably original N7 will also get Android L when it is released. Since even the oldest N7 now can be updated to latest Android version 4.4.3/4, and its hardware is enough to run Android L.
of course

No.
Google contracts last 18 months or two major updates.
The Note 2 is 24 months old and has had 4.3 and 4.4.2. The end, its support is over.
And the genius above who mentioned the S3: the international version is officially not getting 4.4, the US edition is officially dropped now that it has 4.4 (it had 2GB RAM, the Int veraion 1).
Stop dreaming, that phone is long gone from the update list.
It will not come to the original Note either, and it will also not come to any other device older than 18 months.
No amount of begging, pleading and 'but the hardware can run it' will change their minds.
Your only option will be a customROM.

It can't run the bloated Touchwiz UI, so the N7000 will not get it as it still on Android 4.1.2

Hi,
My uncle gave my his old (2012) Nexus 7 to mess around with. It's currently running pretty slow. He said he sideloaded 5.0 onto it which slowed it down a lot. I'm not sure if this was an official version of 5.0, however, since it looks a good bit different from my Nexus 5 running the OTA (e.g. the app drawer button looks like KitKat still, as do the app folders and app drawer itself). He may be wrong, but he was under the impression that given the way he's loaded 5.0, I won't get OTA updates on the device.
It's my understanding the 5.0.2 improves performance for the 2012 Nexus 7. I'd like to get the device back in a state in which it will receive OTA updates.
I should say that though I've been an Android user for years, I know next to nothing about flashing custom roms. Next to nothing meaning I don't even know how to root a device.
As of now, in "About tablet," it says: Android version 5.0; Kernel version 3.1.10-g5d8ecd2, [email protected] #1, Wed Aug 20 19:52:21 PDT 2014; Build number LRX21P

I have been using Huawei since 2014 and as per my experience, they provide two Android version updates for every model. Used Honor 6, 6x, 8, 8 Pro. All of these got two OS updates. So I am positive that even View 10 will get Android Q.
Well we should receive the update, I think. The phone was released in January 2018, so it's a year and a half old now. The Android Q comes out this year, so I'm guessing we'll get it. At least I'm hoping we'll get the update. :laugh:
Regarding what the US government is doing, I'm not sure we will ever have Android Q on our phone :/

Huawei will be able to deliver Android version updates via the AOSP, but it will lose early access to the updated versions provided by Google, such as the Android Q
