I did.
A whinge about note 1 getting 4.1.2 whilst he doesnt have it.
I'm still on 4.1.1 but you don't see me ranting about it.
What does he expect us to do?
Timely news as my screen-cracked Note 1 is sitting my my draw (official repair £222) and I am about to take my Note 2 in with Sudden Death Symdrome - I work near enough the Samsung repair place in Angel to catch a bus there at lunch time. So it's worth the repair and then a resale with all the accessories...
Sort of on topic, my N8000 got 4.1.2 last week and I wish Samsung would stop this nonsensical regional lottery on updates.
It's more complicated than a region lottery, but still...
And even though 4.2.1 is a big deal for the Note 1, it's stretching the limits of the device
UNLIKE the Note 10.1 which can more than handle it.

Hehe I think you only read it properly after my post anyway, alot of us 10.1 users are even still on 4.0.4, which is getting a bit frustrating as the first 4.1.1 update started in November last year. But yes, we've seen this post all over the forum, we are aware of it!

Do you think 4.1.1 is NOT jelly bean?
Why the hell I would see you ranting about not having jelly bean when you are on jelly bean?
Obviously I am still on bloody Ice Cream Sandwich. Where is the 8010 love?
I expect you to read what I wrote before posting stupid comments, and definitely not for twice in a row.

I agree

I don't think Samsung expected so much tablet growth considering the reviews. The growth is 263% for tablets now add cell phones to that. I have had 2 updates for my Note and only had it since November.

Now now - in my book swearing is ranting - and with even less class!
Would be interested to see the "promise" you talk about. There is absolutely no guarantee that Samsung will provide OTA updates of any firmware/software to all regions. It is not in any purchase contract.
To update your Note 10.1 to the latest official JB firmware is trivial. Pick the latest version for your device posted for Germany, UK, USA, China or wherever you want. Flash using Odin or Mobile Odin and you are updated.
If you can't be bothered to do this then go away and stop ranting and swearing in a developers forum!

Ok, you could say that Jelly Bean is only announced in June 2012, Samsung only announced it verbally that it will update it to Jelly Bean before the end of 2012, and now it's only nearly March of 2013, and Key Lime Pie is only about to be announced, and so what? Do you honestly don't see anything wrong with that?
It may not a purchase contract, but it is what Samsung said when it announced Note 10.1, and it is the reason why many others, including I bought it.
Whether you like it or not, Samsung did not live up to what it said, and in turns damaged its credibility.
The fact that I put a Note 1 news in it, is because I am trying to highlight something. It's not like Sammy doesn't have any resource to spare, it is just spending it on updating devices like Note 1, Galaxy S2, which deserve less priority. When my note 10.1 didn't get jelly bean, while note 1 is up to 4.1.2, that is unfair, that is the problem, and that is what my "swearing" is trying to highlight. Well I didn't actually swear as the middle letters could be anything: Funk, Fork. If that is the only thing you get out of my comment, and you assume it must be a swear word, then perhaps you have a sick mind yourself and you have no idea what the focus is.
To force update a firmware that is not designed, not localised, nor may it work properly for my device (as evident in the endless rant and problems in the android development forum) is not an ideal solution, and certainly not what Samsung should force a customer to do. You can certainly flash it at your own risk, and how does it mean that everyone else must be willing to take that risk like you, or does it mean others must live with local customisation that may not even make sense? I hope you do see that I posted this in the General forum (unless you think anything not related to flashing other firmwares must not be part of General), and there are many people like me still waiting for official jelly bean (as highlighted by Tirozz too in this thread), who you obviously don't give a rat's ass about and just wanted them to flash other ROMs.
What methods have you tried to update your device with ?
As I purchased my note 10.1 last week and immediately asked it to do an OTA update and ta da it installed BLK9 (4.1.1 Jelly Bean)
Out of interest it's an N8010 (wifi only)
It could be your region that's holding back your firmware but jellybean certainly officially exists on the note 10.1 and it came out before the note 1 by some margin.
Samsung always has quite a slow roll out schedule as to not overload there servers with everyone trying to update at once.
Look what happened to apple when there servers got overwhelmed devices got updated with corrupt roms which bricked them ...
But if you think samsung is bad for regional delays take a look at other manufacturers sony for example swing from releasing one update first in the uk to the last place to get an the next update.
Well I have a note 10.1 Wi-Fi only and still stuck on 4.0.4, bought it on the airport when I left Holland. I'm offshore near east Timor now but do have internet.

You could be patient and wait until they roll out the update to Holland, or download firmware from another region and flash manually using Odin.

Tab 2 7.0 just started getting the 4.2.2 update

As of today Samsung has started rolling the 4.2.2 update for the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. They also started to update the Galaxy S2 Plus.
It seems they actually do intend to upgrade most of the dual core Galaxy devices to 4.2.2.
Hopefully this indicates that an update is coming for our devices in the near future.
Our hardware is for sure more powerful then what is found in the Tab 2 so we will be able to call bulls**t if Samsung decides to not release 4.2.2 for our tab ... not that this will make things better in any imaginable way.

The Tab2 usually gets things about 3 - 4 months ahead of the P62xx series. Rumors have been flying that Samsung might skip 4.2.2 and go straight to 4.3 updates. We will see. Not a lot of visible changes in 4.2.2 or 4.3, but some nice bug fixes and behind the scenes improvements.
At the moment Samsung has yet to release 4.1.2 fully for the P6210 and its somewhat disconcerting that they appear to have removed the UK 4.1.2 ROM for the P6210 from KIES.

Because the tab 2 has 3,000,000 users and we, the 7 Plus crowd, have about 150. That's why.....
When I had to call Samsung for something a while ago I asked about the new update schedule and the rep told me that they're not updating past jellybean for our tablet. Hopefully that lady was just a regular rep who only knows about as much as we do but it still surprised me when she said it so matter of factly. Has anyone seen an official Samsung update schedule posted anywhere like they had when they were first getting ready for the ics updates? Now that i think of it I don't remember seeing one for the jellybean updates, at least not with our device in the list.
This might be a dumb question but Has the official update for 4.1.2 came out for U.S. yet?

Since Goggle hasn't announced anything past Jelly Bean how could any vendors announce anything about something that doesn't exist?
There is no official US P6210 4.1.2 yet, but the official UK version works fine on the US model.
Samsung might skip 4.2.2 and go straight to JB 4.3 but there are no visible to the user changes in 4.3 so I don;t know if it makes any difference.

Android Updates : Google Nexus vs Samsung Galaxy S

So Android 4.4 is here and we all start waiting for Samsung to deliver the update. But one thing that caught my mind is the news that Galaxy Nexus will not get the 4.4 update.
Google stops updating Galaxy Nexus just two years (November 2011 - November 2013) after it came out, it started with 4.0 and ended with 4.3 as the last official update. So it received updates for just 18 months.
Samsung Galaxy S3 started on Android 4.0, 4.3 update is coming in November and 4.4 update will probably be scheduled for next year. It got released in May 2012.
So who is delivering more updates here? I am not talking about the update schedule here.

S4 I337 4.3 Update resumes

The AT&T-branded Samsung Galaxy S4 is once again getting its Android 4.3 update as an OTA. After an unexplained issue with the last Android 4.3 push, everything looks to be getting back underway according to Samsung's site and early reports on XDA. This is a big update for the GS4, but AT&T is probably going to take it slowly this time.
Screenshot_2013-11-27-13-57-29
Here's the full changelog from Samsung's site:
Android 4.3 OS upgrade
Samsung Galaxy Gear compatibility
Group Play 2.5
Samsung Apps
Knox
Drag and drop to uninstall or disable applications
Call reliability improvements
The new update is build number 1337UCUEMK2 – the last one was 1337UCUEMJ9. So Samsung had to change something, but the very short turnaround time indicates it wasn't anything major (some users reported keyboard issues on MJ9). The update is pretty hefty at 719MB if you're coming from the Android 4.2 software. There is also a patch from MJ9 to MK2 for people who got the last OTA that clocks in at just 28.07MB. Begin hammering the update button – no promises, though.
It's official. Check the original website given below.

Samsung s4 GE already got 4.4 update, I337 getting 4.3 now.
When can we expect 4.4 for I337 official???
There are more than enough threads for this already... closed

Good News Infinity Users -> Android 7.1 for Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ To Roll Out Soon

Good News Infinity Users -> Android 7.1 for Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ To Roll Out Soon
Samsung’s decision to ship the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ with Android 7.0 left many confused. The latest version of Google’s mobile operating system at the flagship’s launch was Android 7.1. It made sense for the company to release its new handset with the latest version of Android but it didn’t do that.
Then again, it’s not like the Android 7.1 update adds any major new features that Galaxy S8 owners have missed out on. It brings new emoji, launcher actions for the Pixel launcher and other minor tweaks. The emoji and launcher updates don’t really matter to Galaxy S8 owners since Samsung uses its own versions of both on its handsets.
Nevertheless, the Android 7.1 update for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ should be rolling out soon. Vodafone Australia has updated its website to reflect that the new firmware release has been submitted for review. This means that it’s in the final stage before roll out.
The carrier itself mentions that this is going to be a “Stability and Bug Fix” update so users shouldn’t expect much in the way of new features. With a major Australian carrier coming close to rolling out Android 7.1 for Galaxy S8, it’s only a matter of time before said update is released for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ in other markets across the globe.
Source : SamMobile
Vodafone Australia does not bring the update out soon, but the roll out has already begun. *
The thing is , it won't give new features, or not that much.
The futur will be on Android O and how much time Samsung will take to push it on it S8
