Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2

Hello i'm looking to purchase the 10.1 but has anyone heard of a newer version coming out for 2013? If so can someone provide a link. I'd hate to buy this & a newer version comes out a month or so later..I was debating on the ipad,microsoft surface & google nexus 10. But the 10.1 was an absolute joy to use in bestbuy last night even though the display model had jelly all over it...

I'm not sure about a new 'Note 2 10.1' tablet but I'm looking forward to the 13.3.inch.

It will be at least 6 months before another one comes out, this has only been out like 4 months! Even if one does come out, its not worth the wait.

Hi! I´m a guy who likes tablets, but every thing i buy most (in my case) be brand new on the market. The reason why is the speed of Android hardware development, you know, you buy a 2 month old (from the release) tablet and 2-3 month later another 2 times better monster-tablat releases. And you like "F*** WHY DID I NOT WAIT FOR THAT TABLET?!"
So my question is, is there anny sign of a new monster tablet upcoming on the market? Maby a NOTE 2 10.1? Or from another android-brand?

Well like the guy above me stated if 1 does come out it could be at least 6 months from now. IMO not worth the wait. I'm getting my 10.1 this month. Hopefully it comes with jb.

There's always going to be something new in 6 months, just make sure you've picked the best device for your needs. I only just upgraded from the original galaxy tab with the note 10.1 but i still like the tab as well and use both for different things.

[Q] Android 4.2 or maybe 4.3?

I had read in a lot of forums at XDA and at Sam Mobile that we are going to have an update for "5.0" but anyone knows if we are going to have an official updated for the Note 10.1 for 4.2.2? The Hardware of the Note 10.1 is very capable for running 4.2.2

I don't think anyone but Samsung really know for sure, but at least the popular rumors I've read have speculated either a 4.2 or 4.3 update sometime after the note 3 is announced. Of course these were the same rumor mills that speculated a 4.2 update for us back in June so I take it all with a grain of salt - especially any 5.0 update.

Kind of weird because the Note 8 and Galaxy Tab 2 7 received a week ago a 4.2.2 update :/

Is there a 4.3 update for my tablet?

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.

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

Android 4.4 Galaxy S4 DISCUSSION

Alright guys, if you haven't already heard the awesome news, Google has finally released Android 4.4 KitKat along with the $350 16GB Nexus 5.
Let's make a few guesses, guys. From articles that I've read online, Google has already released open source AOSP sources for Android 4.4. The question is, when, do you think, we are going to receive this update officially on either TouchWiz or Google Edition models of the S4?
Also, since the source has been released, when do you think we'll see Android 4.4 KitKat in custom ROMs (CyanogenMod, AOKP, ParanoidAndroid, etc)?
Also, if you have any comments and questions, FEEL FREE TO USE THIS POST AS AN ALL AROUND DISCUSSION ON THE TOPIC OF ANDROID 4.4. THANKS!
Sent from my GT-I9505G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

According to the articles I read, it should be coming in the "next few weeks." I take that to read before xmas for the Google Edition ones.
For us lowly Canucks on Rogers, I figure we'll see it around July. =\

FYI

Considering most of us aren't evening running 4.3 yet I don't foresee AT&T rolling 4.4 anytime soon. Granted, those who are able to run custom rom's may be able to update to it in due time. But for the lot of us on MF3 we're going to fall behind unless by some miracle Samsung releases the keys at AT&T's discretion.

I bought a Nexus5 2 minutes into the sale. Going to be a hard decision whether to give it to my mom, or to give her my GS4, as she doesn't have a smartphone. I'm loving the google play edition rom on 4.3, and I'm not sure I'd want to part with the phone since it will get 4.4 anyway. The Google Play Edition really breathed life into the GS4 compared to the stock AT&T touchwiz 4.2 rom. It's like a completely different phone, except, unlike a custom rom, everything works, every time. No FC's.

Yeah man, I feel ya! I'm actually running Kangabean GE 4.3 right now and a dual boot with the Omega 4.3 ROM. Touchwiz sure has its perks, but it just doesn't feel well and its quite ugly at times. Even though we don't get the cool air gesture features while running different forms of AOSP, I'd still say its safe to say that the S4 on Google Edition is one of the best phones to have. You have expandable memory and removable batteries, also hardware keys. The Nexus 5 lacks these things. I'm just hoping we get this 4.4 update soon, because I've been dying for it ever since it was rumored to come out!

I couldn't justify biting the bullet and buying the Nexus 5...mainly because the developer base for flagship Samsung phones (S2, S3, and now S4) is so active.
I just had to keep reminding myself that I always end up with the latest nightly of CyanogenMod on every phone I own...so id be buying hardware spec upgrades and not much else (in regards to software since CM is eventually going to absorb 4.4 in its source base)
Man was it hard to say no though.....
I'm very excited for the GE edition to be coming out soon

I'm still up in the air about it, I love my Galaxy S4... but that Nexus 5 looks super appealing. I'm going to give it another week of thought before making my decision. Hopefully, if I got for the Nexus 5 it won't be sold out by the time I sell my S4.

I was excited about the N5 until I read about the battery not being removable and that it STILL didn't have an SD slot...
I want to be able to service my phone if the battery becomes shot for whatever reason, and I don't want my class 10 32GB card sitting around uselessly...
Also, Paranoid Android is putting together builds already

Yeah seriously! The non removable battery is just a bad design flaw and I can't wait until Paranoid Android releases their newest builds. Too bad CM says they aren't ditching Android 4.3 for 4.4. Obviously they're ruining their own competition and PA is going to be WAAY ahead of them.

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.

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

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?

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.
