[Q] When is the ICS update will be released ?

Hi, i returned my Razr and bought the NOTE for $500 unlocked brand new.
Anyways, it was 2.3.6 out of the box but whenever i check for update i find nothing and i am up to date. however, i have seen many people getting the ICS upgrade, why not me ?
and also can somone tell my my Note is from what country ?
i have this build :GINGERBREAD.UBKK2 and Model number GT-N7000 and baseband version s : N7000Ubkk1.
Thanks

for now just wait for the OTA update to arrive in your country.. keep checking for updates...
dont try to flash for now and stay on GB

Well i live in the US. I got my Phone from Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875176329
I just want to know my phone came from which country ? hmm the phone was english but on the back of the box, it was writting in either Spanish or Italian dont know...... so is there a way to know through my system build or something like that ?

possibly brazil ....if you do want ics just flash it...odin and the new open germany rom... i have 3 notes... (black) uae, (white) spain, and (pink) france... all are running open germany ics.. its a stock rom so its not going to take away your warranty... if you flash...just follow the directions and all will be fine... if youre unsure...ask before you flash...

if i flash it to the German ROM, will i be able to get OTA updates like i bought the phone NEW ? or i have to do everything manually ? and do i have to root my phone?

Bump ! please i need to know ASAP as i want to change the ROM of my Note...

I have heard on good authority that the new ICS will be launched tomorrow!!! However if it does not come out please check this post again for the latest updates. GOOD LUCK!!!

What kernel did your note come with?

I have the same exact thing like you, and kernel version its : [email protected] #2

They are selling the same Note in Bermuda with the same firmware GINGERBREAD.UBKK2 and Model number GT-N7000 and baseband version s : N7000Ubkk1 Kernel [email protected] #2
Just upgraded from my trusty old Galaxy s i9000 (which I must have flashed over a 100 times in the last two years!) Only had the note a few days, with a Ballistic case I can almost use it with one hand lol!
I miss my ICS rooted phone, I will wait for the official update at least until the warranty to expires. I jumped in and did a plain root last night though, at least the market is open.......
Kies reports as PDA:KK2 / PHONE:KK1 / CSC:KK2 (TTT)

so do you think my stock ROM is good or the EU one is better ?

I flashed Open Europe LC1 GB and then ICS LPY, but with the bricking issues, im back to LC1 safely.

My experience, two galaxy's GT9000T One I rooted and flashed modded bricked and basically kicked the crap out of it......still works great, I gave it to my youngest daughter. My other one was left untouched, Kies still updates all the official roms on it and it to still works great, but no ICS...
With this warning....

And having just forked out almost $700.00 bucks for a Note, (2 year contract) I think I can wait a little bit longer for the official release!

i am not going to flash to the ICS, i just want to know if my stock Brazil ROM is good or the EUROPE is good ?

Not much of a difference. Battery is about the same.

battery life after kitkat update of p602 (Turkey edition)

I readed very posts which complained about bad battery life of kitkat update. But i ve encountered opposite. Kitkat update for p602 has just come about a week. And battery life is awesome, i think. Today i watched five episodes of doctor who, and read lots of articles, but i used tablet over 10 hours with a single charge cycle .

buna da sukur, umidi kesmistim, knox mox demeden yukleyecektim artik, ama geldi yine de sonunda.

Do you guys happen to know any P601 users? I m trying to change my P602 to P601 firmware completely but stuck with the P602 bootloader .

did they released p602 kitkat or is it from another region ? . P600 fw for turkey is not released yet if i am not wrong

idk if p600 fw for turkey released or not but since model number etc doesnt change for p600 you can flash another country stock firmware without tripping knox.

When the hell is Lollipop coming for my Note 4!? N910F.. Nordic...

I'm waiting ☺

N910F? It's been released for about 3weeks.

Not really. It rolled out what seems to be a soak test in a couple of territories and has since seemingly pulled it. The german DBT / multi CSC version wasn't even rolled out via OTA only through Kies.
Now it's unavailable on kies leaving users like myself with unbranded German DBT (CSC model) devices completely unable to flash it without downloading it from external sources and using ODIN.
Lollipop 5.0.1 seems to have gone officially into 'limbo' and were all guessing what this means for us. Perpetual wait for 5.0.2 or 5.1 ? Why did they stop rolling it out ? Are they going to fix and update to newer material design contacts/dialer/messages in a new lollipop version ?
Basically we just don't know and as per usual - play the Android waiting game.

I'd rather wait for the 5.0.2 version that the S6 is shipping with than use the current version. Or even better jump straight to 5.1.

you're right. Actually it's getting pretty bizarre. Samsung was hinting a Lollipop release in October 2014 (I know....hinting is no date) That was FIVE MONTHS ago without any information from Samsung. I HAD to install the DBT lollipop rom because my device was working very bad on KK (out of the box lot's of lags/crashes - had it tested but no solution) It's a better now but i'm not happy i'm actually still running a beta.

Right now Samsung is more focused on the s6. We have to wait but it's a bit strange indeed.

I feel your pain bro. My device (N910U) received its last update 73+ days ago: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-N910U
And Sammy is pushing out Note 3 updates...

You know, I don't complain.... Much.
But yeah, I'm with you. You don't just leave people dangling. Samsung pissess me off so much sometimes.
Here we are, holding the Note 4, and I don't know about you but I feel very not proud of my flagship phone.
I'm a first time Samsung user but I'm going back to the Chinese. Huawei treats me like a God every time I buy a flagship from them. I bought the note on a drunken whim. I love the pen!
However, is too expensive and I hate feeling like a school-child waiting for goodies.
I can't wait for the P8.

The 5.0.1 Lollipop rom is apart from some small bugs fine. If it was a soak test, why have they released the sources for it?

What ticks me off so much is the freaking lack of device priority in this update nonsense, not one S5 or definitely any NOTE 3 should be getting this update before the Note 4, we paid the big bucks for it; we should have top priority since it's the newest device (apart from the s6, but still that's far off) . and apparently the Sprint Note 4 is getting the update roll out today when T-Mobile says they haven't even received the update from Samsung yet. This is really starting to tick me off. Next flagship Windows Phone rolls around I'll be out of this game, I didn't have to wait for carrier approval, I just got it plain and simple without wait.

2 us carriers have it now

Just flash German lollipop I did it yesterday and it works flawless

It has already been said a million times and confirmed by Oculus themselves...The delay of Lollipop has nothing to do with the gear VR...
Those of you who are so eager to get Lollipop while having the N910F variant, just flash the Polish firmware and there you have it...others with the N910G/H will have to wait though.

Still waiting! Anyone know the delay? Who have got it in Europe? Germany. Poland. Anyone else?

ive been using lollipop for a few weeks now.
IMO its crap.. it really is not better then kitkat.
if i could downgrade back to kitkat without loosing my apps settings and files i would do it right away

First Update to 5.1.1 being rolled out right now

Looks like it's for the 920F version and people in France, UK, and Greece have reportedly received it already.
http://www.sammobile.com/2015/07/27/samsung-galaxy-s6-gets-its-first-post-android-5-1-1-update/

interested to see if this improves battery

Or memory management...

I am running XtreStoLite (5.1.1 already). Can't see much difference in battery life and memory management (both were fine to me before), but RAW support is really neat . Shame that we have to use 3rd party app for it, but still I am happy that the API is there.

This is an update to the 5.1.1 you are running.

XEF CSC here. Updating now. Will try and look for changes. Battery I hope is one of them.

This thread is concerning stock roms so going on and on with your custom roms (xtrestolite or whatever) is kinda pointless here...

To anyone who received this update: what is your csc?

Guys one question.....i have the s6 920F uk(BTU)can i install XEF CSC and download the ota?Is it possible?Tnx a lot!!!

I tried something similar flashed XEF over my BTU phone but because my phone is MULTICSC it keeps on defaulting to BTU.
But in theory if you can flash XEF and get the CSC to change then it should get the OTA.

Just got my update 5.0.2 to 5.1.1 update is 647.58MB

Fixed Mem
Users that installed the update said the memory problem is fixed. I have the stock 5.1.1. and i'm waiting for the update. I will get back with the details.

Would be nice of Canadian carriers to push this.. I need that bootloader.

I am running the update for a few hours.
Multitasking is not fixed.
I feel that it is a bit better though. Although that might be a placebo effect only.
