"To Receive, or Not To Receive (Gingerbread), That is the question"

So i stumbled upon this, just thought I'd share it with my fellow XDA'ers!

Cool spreadsheet bro

Nicee, I say that we'll get a update by end of April. Just a gut a feeling

Nice spreadsheet you whipped up there.

Thank you for bringing this to us.
My only concern is that I do not see Epic 4G listed in that list. Yes, the Galaxy S is but as we all know, Samsung doesn't seem to consider the Epic a true Galaxy S phone (based on previous articles excepting the Epic numerous times when referring to Galaxy S). Until I see "Epic 4G", I'm assuming the only chance I'll get to see Gingerbread is through CM7.

I see Galaxy S on the back of my phone. If Samsung offers the update and Sprint declines, that is one thing. But to not develop a ROM at all? I'll be upset.

It also does not distinguish whether its CDMA or not

sorry guys, guess I should have been a little more clear.
I did not create this spreadsheet, "I stumbled upon this" through an article posted on the NBCbayarea blog (here is the link):
http://www.nbcbayarea.com/blogs/press-here/Have-Android-Gingerbread-Check-With-Your-Manufacturer-119735574.html
and yes, you're right..this spreadhsheet does not specifically indicate "Samsung Epic 4G", we can only hope that they are generalizing all Galaxy S phones!
sorry for the confusion everyone...
if the link doesn't work just copy and paste:

The way it has worked in the past is that the non US version (base version GT-I9000) gets the update first. In fact that's the phone for the GB version that already leaked. It is plausible that that version could get the release later this month, but what ever the case expect at least 3 months after that before we see any official US versions.

Isn't the Nexus S 4g going to be closer hardware to the Epic than the GT-I9000? Won't that port be quicker?

Who cares.
Once we have CM7 we'll have GB.
I'd rather they spend their time fixing the modem and whatever issues remain (slower data speeds, GPS issues, etc).
GPS is a lot better than it was in DI18, but every once in a while I'll turn on GPS and fire up Google Maps and it won't get a lock. Then I have to back out of Google Maps and go back in. Annoying when you're in the car in the middle of traffic and you have to figure out why GPS isn't working.

Kudos to the dev team, but one half functioning version of GB is no more useful than the half functioning one that Samsung has yet to release.

And usually when Samsung says Galaxy S, what they mean is the GT-I9000 and not the others. You'll know they mean the rest of us when they start saying "Galaxy S devices."

Eh...their sources are random blogs across the web. Nothing definitely. Its a cool spreadsheet to look at and speculate from...but definitely not something we should bet on.

Galaxy S III will be getting KitKat in March or April 2014

Only 6 months after it's release? Wow thanks samsung!
Ok, sarcasm aside, i guess giving the amount of devices that aren't even being updated at all, this is good news. But still, we know independent developers do nothing short of small miracles a few days after the official google release. Though i'm still imensly grateful to every dev and they're the only reason for me still having this phone, a proper samsung developing team with the proper resources has the obligation to do better and faster, so i can't help but to feel a bit screwed over by them. They surely aren't doing it because they care about the client, else their attitude would be different so there must be a different agenda in the background. On my expense. I shouldn't need to feel grateful when they release an update. Not when what i bought never worked properly to begin with with samsung's development nor it never will even with 3rd party development while samsung doesn't will it.
So, I'm not planning on still having my S3 by then. They didn't really do much during my phone's lifetime to keep me for a client. They still don't. To be rather honest all i found on samsung was disapointment. So, as soon as i'll have the chance, i'll try to replace it. I'm here to be proven wrong but my expectations for anything coming from samsung are really low at this point.

The way Omnirom is developing, they're soon going to make the stock ROM's obsolete. Stable nightly's coupled with "as good as stock" battery life, I'm definitely never going back to samsung base roms

I just installed OmniROM and it is already awesome, after adding customizable tiles in the quick select menu it will be perfect. The only thing that I miss from the stock rom is camera software and camera drivers and overall working. Everything else is better in OmniROM.

Well Omnirom has to deliver first.
I'm on Temaseks CyanogenRom V7 (started from V3) with Boeffla Kernel. Let's hope OmniRom does a good job. But until now, they also have just a more or less beta...

olol f*ck you sh!tty samsung.
wont be buying that sh1t again. S3 = SH!T 3
they'll tell us that touchwiz doesnt run on 4.4. thats why they cant release it
no more touchwiz devices for me.

We'll pray for that..:good:

That picture looks like the beginning of the reason why they're suddenly "delaying" the official 4.3 rollout.

Galaxy Note 4 receives first software update, improves battery life significantly

"The update with firmware number XXU1ANJ4 is small and has a file size of just 36MB. It brings improved stability, improvements in some features and also improves the battery life significantly. "
http://www.sammobile.com/2014/10/13...e-update-improves-battery-life-significantly/

So will we be getting this update from T-Mobile?

All Note 4's. Should be ready for the update as soon as you take it out the box.
I was incorrect. Reading is fundamental..

I looked at Sammobile for an unupdate for N910T and I did not see anything - the only thing listed is the Original Stock Tar for this phone - maybe they haven't updated yet?

Maybe just for octa core version?

The way I understand it and the way it looks if you google it a bit, you will
find that this XXU1ANJ4 update will be for the international Note 4's.

I didn't get the update either.

People, there is no update.
Well there is one, but it's for the general international version. As history has taught us these devices get updates the first. T-mobile has to decide if they will implement this update (which they normally will) but this usually takes weeks (or months).

Wait for the official launch.

Does this update effect the root method currently out?

I doubt it.

I hope they roll out the update asap after launch. My battery life is less than my s5 - not terrible, , but not as great as my s5. Been off the charger since 7:30 and it's 11:30 now with 82% left , no GPS, bluetooth always on.

NOTE 4
Got it back but was a pain but it all good

Just finished the update. Everything is noticeably snappier and more fluid! Woo-hoo!

[Got what i needed..thanks!]Looking for a helper for about a half hour.

Used to have a one plus one. I jump phones so I left. Hey...its what I do. What I am hoping for is to prove a point on why my one plus one got way better battery life then my G3 does. Virtually the same specs. Same carrier...same apps. Now. Here is where someone with a 1+1 comes in. Using this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.iattilagy.usemon you can monitor the GPU usage if you scroll down a bit. Would prefer a relatively stock like setup. It doesn't even require root. Just run this app for about a half hour using no games or anything just oh idk. Texting, hangouts, Tapatalk, no gaming. I want to see what the GPU freq it runs at most often in that 30 min. Then snap a screen shot and PM or post it here.
Hopefully someone will help me out with this.

I can probably do it for you sometime after tomorrow, I'm currently running AK's kernel so I can't do it atm. Whenever I flash the next nighly I'll wait on flashing AK's kernel, and then I can do it for you as I don't use my phone too much during the week, if no one else has done it by Monday just PM me, and I'll do it for you.
Also, any particular reason you jumped to the G3?
EDIT: I run a very stock setup , running CM12 nightlies. No background apps like skype or whatever, either. Should be perfect for a comparison.

Perfect! Not really any particular reason besides same specs and slightly smaller bezel. Never figured the difference would be night and day. 1+1 wins in my book.
G3 battery life is horrid imho. I got 7-8hrs screen on almost daily. With he g3 only about 3 give or take. Got a 9000 mah battery now. Things a brick but I get 11-12 hrs screen on. Its sad. With this battery and my old 1+1 I'd feel comfortable in saying 20hrs screen on min probably 24

I think it's because the screen resolution on the g3 is much higher.

Yep the GPUs are working about the same. Has to be the screen it self that makes it such a hog whether it be the QHD since they both IPS displays.
Thanks for the help. I'll be watching for the 1+2 in the future. I had a very good 1+1 experience... Its far better then the G3 IMHO.
Thanks again!

What are first opinions about....

latest update? Are everybody happy with it?

I like it a lot actually. Didn't really think an update to a phone as old as the Note 4 would have such an impact but the phone feels faster, and the new minor design changes are nice to me.

I've waited TWO months on stock 5.1.1 so that I can get a MM OTA!!! Loving every bit of it! Its amzing. I know every one loves/hate "Good Lock". I'm loving it. Latest update is much more improved.

With blur effect on:

MM is what Lollipop should have been. That's why so many people are looking for Note 4 with Kitkat until the MM release. I'm most likely gonna stay on Kitkat until I see more MM custom roms out. Kitkat is smooth and no battery drain.

5.1.1 is great. I see no need to not upgrade to that. It was 5.0.1/2 that was abysmal.

3 hrs SoT , i'm not happy atm.

I noticed it's bit snappier. Everything works. Overall, I really like the update. I did a full wipe after install. Only issues are, less than 4 hours SOT at around 35-40% brightness and it runs hot now. Not only that but it charges hot, which it never did before. Those are my only issues.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Labs

So far battery life is very good. About 5% battery left and 7 hours SOT with auto brightness.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk

Pretty happy so far. Quick, snappy, smoothe, all running good.

I upgraded via OTA and was having issues with random reboots. I did a hard wipe/reset and have had zero issues since. Does seem a little snappier. After wipe, loving it so far.

I bought an s7 edge on preorder. I gave it to my wife after we got shafted with lockdown. The s7 version of MM is nicer looking and more friendly as far as disabling apps. I can do it with root but I might as well go with a highly tweaked/properly debloated s7 port on dok2. My only reason to switch would be a better modem, but I see no difference in my area.

I had issues initially till I factory reset. Now all is good and my phone is much snappier, smoother, and less lag. I hated LP. Love MM!
