I know there are probably at least a dozen threads on this new phone where I could ask for speculation but after browsing them I decided I'd make a thread specifically on the release date. As many of you may know, there was recently a report by the Electronic Times in Korea that the new Nexus Prime would be coming in October with ICS, debuting alongside the iPhone 5 and iOS 5. There has also recently been a Samsung roadmap with device releases/specs detailed for the rest of the year, according to the roadmap the only Android phone running ICS is set to release in early December. On top of that, there was reportedly a Nexus Prime spotted at Verizon HQ. Obviously this data conflicts but both the roadmap and the electronic times seem to me to be decent sources and if it was indeed spotted at Verizon HQ, obviously Verizon will get the Prime or a version of the prime at release. My questions are:
1) Do you guys really think they are going to release the Prime to complete with the iPhone as many people are speculating or do you think it will release according to the current Nexus schedule which is usually around December?
2) Do you think multiple carriers will get the Nexus Prime/version of the Prime? If so, what carriers and do you think they will all get it immediately?
Again, I know I could have posted this thread in multiple places so please forgive me =]
I think the Prime will be released near the iPhne 5 launch maybe a month after.
I expect to see it across all the American carriers. T-mo will get first dibs, then sprint and verizon and you'll have to import for AT&T unless they make it one of their LTE devices for the year
Could you shed some light on the reasoning behind your carrier timeline? Why T*Mobile first? Ect.

I agree with our mate!
I'm just curious why Tmobile would get it first, people seem to think that ICS is being released early to compete with the iPhone 5 so you're assuming that the iphone 5 is definitely going to tmobile and that google/samsung are expecting a lot of consumers to switch to tmobile when it is released?

The previous nexus phones have been GSM, right? So it makes sense that, at least initially, GSM carriers will get this one first - however I don't doubt other carriers will get it eventually, if not right away as well.
If they really want to compete with the iPhone, it MUST be on ATT and Verizon...or else...it, uh, can't compete lol.

i don't think verizon will pick it up, then again, i have been wrong before, i even said the dinc will get no gb, well...it did, but it got delayed right before they started pushing it out OTA

Well rumors say that it has been sighted at Verizon HQ and I'd expect Verizon to not go very long without a device with Ice Cream Sandwich and how many do you guys think will be coming in Q4? As of now it seems like only the Nexus Prime.

I think what Samsung/Google are doing are trying to steal the thunder from Apple by putting the release nearer to the iPhone 5. I've also heard that on September 1st Samsung are holding a mobile conference for their new handset. I mean, I know this isn't a Samsung device, it's Google's so they would announce it, but this phone is going to knock the socks off everyphone out there at present according to the specs.
Any pics available yet?
Wow..Nexus 3
I am looking forward to see pic in the further

Do you think us Telus folks will get it near launch or do you think we'll have to wait until early spring 2012, Like w/ the Nexus S.
Probably T-Mobile will grab it first !!! xD
So back in December, Samsung stated that ICS would be available for Galaxy devices in Q1 2012 (http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2397850,00.asp - among other sources).
Someone asked on Facebook when the update for the Galaxy Nexus S was coming and Samsung stated that "ICS updates for Galaxy devices will be available in early Q2." (https://www.facebook.com/samsungmobilecanada/posts/10150560045396050)...
Idk, that may be a bit different because the Nexus S is in the original Galaxy S family. Those are going to be updated after all the Galaxy S2 devices. They actually weren't even going to release the update for those phones initially.

Some rumors said march first, which would be q1 and not going to happen. Some leaked document i saw said april which would be early q2. God knows what they are doing over there. I want aosp/cm9 anyway, but if they release ics it might help get us closer.
I am so sick of this too.....
From now on I am only getting Nexus Devices
I'm sick of it too, but used to it. They just released official Gingerbread for the Captivate (my previous phone) a few weeks ago after XDA users had been running leaked versions for several months. But the devs here on XDA already have (as I understand it) some pretty kickass ICS roms available for the Captivate.
Don't hold your breath waiting for AT&T/Samsung. We'll have ICS here on XDA long before they make it officially available (but...without a secure element we won't be able to use Google Wallet--not sure how they're going to solve that one...re-issued sim cards maybe?)
Sounds like it's all Galaxy devices:
https://www.facebook.com/samsungmobilecanada/posts/10150560045396050
That being said, I wasn't holding my breath either for an official release but figured when one came it might help speed up some things here on XDA or for the CM guys.
And yeah, I was running ICS on my Cappy for a couple months before it died (needed a new mobo so the cost of upgrading to the SGS II LTE was actually cheaper than the repair on my Cappy - go figure)... the official Samsung/Rogers upgrade cycle on the Cappy was horrendous as well, bought it with Froyo, an hour later had CM7 on it, and it wasn't long afte they updated officially to GB that I was running TeamHacksung ICS alpha builds on it.
We'll be lucky to get official ICS before Jellybean is released
That is Samsung mobile Canada stating that. So may be different for us in the states. But what I think is funny is the vivid is getting the update soon, and if I'm not wrong both phones came out on the same day. So no blaming this on the carrier this time. Damn Sammy LOL.

True, it is Samsung Mobile Canada - I wasn't expecting us (or the US) to get it in Q1 anyways (officially) as the original statement I believe was for the international versions of the Galaxy S II/Note. Still, was hoping that the international stock rom would help jump/fix kinks some of the developers here are trying to overcome.
I'm in Canada, so I can only hope

To clarify, they only said the international versions of the S II and the Note would get it in Q1. The others that were announced to get ICS have never been given a time frame, other than that they would follow those two.
There seems to be a lot of confusion on that point.

Yes, I do understand that fully. Not holding my breath that the international version will be rolling out any time soon either.
Looking into the dev forum there are two promising roms one in alpha 1 with basic functions working and another one that the mods and the dev keep fighting over is a lot further along but I think was taken down again :-(. I'm guessing we have about a month maybe a bit more before we have some awesome functioning ics rom's
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Well Q1 is still not done with, we got a whole month for them to hopefully release.
technicalities... Huge companies always drag there feet, I almost guarantee the skyrocket dev community will have ics before everyone else

He's probably right, if the galaxy nexus has it, with an SOC which isn't so dissimilar to ours, they're probably sitting on it.

This has been known and posted for some time now. However, it does not mean that AT&T or Verizon will be getting the update that soon. Canadian S4s are slated to receive the update sometime in October, but I would be surprised to see AT&T roll it out any time this year. With a locked bootloader it will be better to get a hold of the Canadian or International update and let the Devs incorporate it into the MDL bootloaders. Maybe even safestrap can be updated to allow those types of hybrid ROMs on MF3?

Three possible ways to run 4.3 prior to the official ATT release:
1) Have an MDB/MDL phone and use loki.
2) Safestrap and hope the MF3 kernel is compatible.
3) SS adds kexec support.
I think the biggest reason is that the Samsung Smart Gear only runs on 4.3 so if they don't force the phone co. to allow the update then they will lose sales for the smart watch very fast
Samsung is trying to get the market before the IPhone releases their watch next year

Samsung doesn't have the ability to force AT&T or Verizon to do anything. It's actually the other way around. AT&T and Verizon are simply to big in the US and they are considered Samsung's "customer". With around 100 million + subscribers each, Samsung simply can not afford to "dictate" terms to them. Samsung will be more than content to profit from the Gear sales that will accompany the Note 3 sales for the time being. Eventually, 4.3 will roll out to AT&T and Verizon S4s, but I wouldn't bet on it being anytime before Q2 of next year. Of course, it is just speculation.

Yes I mentioned Att in there...but I didn't specifically say Att was the only one that would be delayed...I said the carrier variants will be delayed, granted yours won't be delayed as long since they don't have to throw a new boot loader in it will still very likely be delayed so they can rebloat it and test it them self before releasing it to their customers.
And yep...a flash able version will soon be available for us. Hopefully its compatible with the mf3 kernel so those on safe strap can enjoy it too

But you also lost all the software features that go along with getting an S4. I personally think that the google play versions of the HTC One and S4 are not worth it because you lose the features that make those phones unique.

Sure I don't have the Samsung software, but I can load a Samsung Rom if I choose to do so. Also this version of the S4 is more compatible with Linux than the Samsung S3 is. I can plug it into my laptop, drag and drop to and from the device. Wasn't able to do so easily with the S3.
Fellow Canadians,
1. Do you think Samsung will include a patch that will lock the bootlader when they roll out JB 4.3 ?
I'm asking because unlike in the U.S, the Canadian S4 has an unlocked bootloader
Well, unless it was AT&T who was the driver behind the locked bootloader in the USA ....
2. if I uncheck "auto-update", am I safe ?
(because if I root before the rollout, I dont want to lose my root

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.
I'm living in the Netherlands and my Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010 runs on Android 4.1.2. (The latest available version in the Netherlands)

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.

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.

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.

Wasn't the a contractual agreement with Google among android licensees to upgrade all devices for at least 18 months?

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.

WAIT, AC-3 codecs? Isn't that Player dependent? Not OS Dependent?

"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.
