Well I've been planning to swap my 1 month used S Advance GT i9070 for a Brand New 8gb Galaxy Nexus from a untrusted store at GreenHills. The jellybean update rumours for GT i9070 might not be true and if it's true it will be months, if there will be a official announcement from samsung will i guess i'll stick with GT i9070 but for now i doubt the other sources that release the skipping ics update to jellybean. So what do you think? Should i go for it or should i just wait for the update for my current phone? I doubt the Galaxy Nexus cause i've already looked everywhere but all i can find are untrusted shops that sells a Galaxy Nexus and i don't have any idea if it's already available here in philippines. So any suggestions? Thanks!
Did you know all those stalls in Greenhills change their location around every month? Makes you think twice about making a big purchase. Remember, they will never do any deal if they can't make a decent profit.

all i saw it had a custom rom installed it had a samsung touch wiz ui custom rom and storage had only 6.44gb available
That means it's a Chinese knock-off, not a real Nexus. At least you knew enough to check the free space.
Hi guys. I had G2 for over a year now and I feel like I need something new. I don't want to go full on crazy and get note 2 or s3, because of the price.
Basically I want 4.3 screen or more. Good camera, flashlight(yes).
How does Note1 fares compared to note2 ?
The first device is still affordable or is it nowhere near note2 and I shouldnt even care ?
What about xperia s or samsung galaxy s2 ?
You could get the Nexus 4, its cheap plus instant updates.

PM me if you need help
It's not cheap. It is alost the same price as note2 or s3....
Poland here btw
edit: That means only LG version is avialable here
S2 or nexus / nexus 4.
Note is different from note 2 mostly in hardware, like quad core, 2 gig RAM and stuff.
They are giving all exclusive features of note 2 to note 1 in the premium suite (as they call it)
LIFE! Live it to the best!
I repeat. All nexus phones are no go here. LG is selling them in Poland for crazy price compared to what google wants for it.
So are You saying that s2 or note are both a good chooice or note1 with it's "premium suite" ?

I replied before seeing your post.
And I was also talking about the Galaxy Nexus from Samsung.
S2 is good. Even it got some goodies from s3 in the JB update.
If ya prefer big screen get note.
LIFE! Live it to the best!
I guess you dont like windows phone...Lumia 920 would be a good choice for camera
I don't say it's a bad system but once I had android, I can't go back

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.

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

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

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...

"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.
after everyone saw galaxy s5. all people are disappointed for it.
and they say it will let Samsung.
So, do you think people (especially developers) will leave s4 to get htc m8 and lg g3 and others?.
is it the end of Sammy?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
I use long time Galaxy phones 2/3/4 and nexus phones 1/2/3/4/5 but I stop now with Samsung devices , the S5 is a joke. We are for sure support S5 in the future but I am will not work on it. Nexus is and will be the best
Tapatalk Team SlimRoms
I'd love to get the S5 for it's camera
too bad , there are no snapdragon in my area
and knox will be another reason not to buy
a have use s1-s2-note1-s3-s4 and now am done with samsung the s5 is not a a premium for my personal view s5 is suck for now i will skip the s5 but a will not bay a another phone(sony-because the support for all sony ar so bad, lg a dont know a have use lg l7,lg nexus optimus g pro etc a can say the ar a toy for me, htc - ist good phone but battery its suck, apple no comment ist for id..ot).
I believe there will be two versions of this phone. The one announced, and then a metal one further down the road with a new snapdragon processor...
i agree. guys the s5 is joke it is sucks. but i think the people will stay developing on s series and other Galaxys that so good news thanks for all developers on Samsung devices, for that i will skip htc one and just get the s4.

we believe that will be more version but only with other processor (exynos or snapdragon ect.)
but the device will stay the same. and that sad for Samsung lovers coz we expected more from Sammy.
but no problem as there are always s4 note 3 and others.

No S5 for me. I don't like the size of the S4 but I have to live with it it's a great phone otherwise. S5 looks even bigger than S4 so no way. May as well just have a tablet with phone facilities.

Actually, I dont care about the S5.
After I had 2 LG-devices, I thought I go the mainstream and follow Samsung.
I actually can not complain about my S4. It is working.
But the implemented Samsung features like airview, airfart and air-whatever are poorly implemented and useless for me.
I am disappointed by Samsung doesn't care of the Exynos-version (which I have) and I understand that the devs dont care either Samsung continues their developer hostile strategy.
Not sure what comes next.
Due to lack of financial resources, I will stick with my phone... but as soon as I have more money left over again, I might switch to Sony or Huawei or Oppo (I guess).
After the show off S5 at MWC 2014, It's the same. I don know since Galaxy S4, all Galaxy series is almost same.
Why I need to go to S5?
Just only for fingerprint scanner or heart beat scanner?
Just icon changed and extra hardware with boring and 18th century look :3
M happy with my s4 + I will think to other manufacturer if I got bored from s4.

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.

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.
