Android 4.3 upgrade 'in the early fall,' says carrier
A few days back we caught wind that the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 might be jumping straight from Android 4.1 to (the still unannounced) version 4.3 in some countries. And today it seems at least one other phone might be doing the same. Android Central forum member NKYRacing got in touch with Cincinnati Bell to ask about the just-released 4.2.2 update for his phone, only to be told by the carrier that its HTC One would instead get an update straight to Android 4.3 —
"We were just informed by HTC they would skip 4.2.2 and go straight to 4.3 in the early Fall."

It's unclear whether any other HTC One variants might also leapfrog 4.2, although we should note that the current 4.2.2 update is already rolling out in Europe and Asia. Hopefully we'll learn more once Android 4.3 is officially announced — and it's looking like that's going to happen sooner rather than later.

It might be true if they know it's coming out, why push 4.2.2 out if they know 4.3 is on it's way. But my heart is saying yes but my mind is saying no logic normally wins but I'd like to be proven wrong

They took so long to get 4.2.2 out to the US but it's essentially ready now (given that it has been pushed to the international phones already). I'd be really surprised if they completely skip 4.2.2 in the US given the level of demand for it and how little work it would take at this point to get it out.
Haha I don't see how they can skip 4.2 when it's already out...
Doubt it seeing how HTC can't even get 4.2 out in a timely matter. You'll get 4.2 then 4.3 maybe next year at the rate it is taking for 4.2 to release.

I actually just had a chat with HTC support and they said Canada WILL be getting the 4.2.2 update. No eta was given for known issues. But the lady told me to check frequently so I hope it's coming soon.
*Quality Not Quantity*
Word has it that Verizon is paying the broke HTC to not release the update to North American markets yet. Not until Verizon gets the HTC one. Sounds stupid, but for the uninformed enthusiast, this could mean a source of frustration towards the current carrier (Tmo aTT sprint) and an incentive to switch to Verizon because it obviously is better at testing and approving updates than other carriers.
Again, just a rumor out of (almost) thin air.

While that may very loosely make sense in the U.S. why should that affect Canadians?
Most Americans would not know who Telus, Rogers or Bell is. It is not like Canadians would say "geez I'm going to switch to Verizon because they have a newer OS for the HTC One". Canada is a separate country from the U.S and should be treated as such. Hell, Google has either forgotten about us with Movies and TV and Google Music......or the CRTC is a pain in the a**. How is that related to your Verizon rumour? About as much as American carrier politics has to do with us.

Is there any indication that HTC has even pushed 4.2.2 to the carriers for their "approvals"?
And when are the Dev Editions supposed to get updates? If 4.2.2. is ready, can't HTC just push directly to dev editions?

i have a hunch that once the verizon variant would be released, the US versions of the HTC would (FINALLY GOD DAMNIT) get the 4.2.2 update.. what was the point of buying an unlocked ver if i get the updates last?

I was just looking at Engadget, and I saw this: http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/17/bell-mobility-hints-at-ice-cream-sandwich-release-dates-for-gala/
Here is what the article it says:
"We've come across an internal document from Bell Mobility that's bound to raise the hopes of a few good Canadians. Yes folks, we're talking Ice Cream Sandwich. The carrier to the north estimates that it'll have Android 4.0 ready for the Sensation in February, which is to be followed by the Raider's update in March -- this handset may be more familiar to AT&T customers as the Vivid. Pulling up the rear, users of the Galaxy S II are to expect the upgrade in April, and while the Optimus LTE is also mentioned, there's no specific time frame for that one. Certainly estimated release dates don't always come to fruition, but at least we know what Bell's aiming for, anyway."

I think that is the date the Galaxy SII will get ICS on that carrier. Remember that a lot of carriers delay updates to their phones so they can be "certified". Also, if we already have a pretty much working build of ICS (give or take a few force closes and battery life), how can it take them so long to polish it?
At this stage i have to say im a bit pissed off that we still haven't been given ICS for our SGSII why cant they just release all the necessary code required so developers can do their thing.
Bell is very, very slow at releasing official firmware updates. As far as I know the SGSII still comes with their carrier branded 2.3.3
If they're releasing in April and that happens to be at the same time as ICS goes global, I'd be very, very, VERY surprised. Just a possibility.
I will be issed also if it isn't released by February by the latest, if it isn't i think ill be getting a nexus phone next year.

I think I am going to get the next nexus phone regardless of when we get ICS for the GS2.
to be honest i hope they dont rush it , it isnt just building ics for their hardware it needs intensive testing as well
the sgs2 has shipped over 10 million units now , releasing a firmware with bugs in it could do more harm then good and id rather wait and get a rock solid ics for our phones and for the devs to have a solid base to tweak from
lets face it they got the firmware the phone shipped with pretty dam good and i hope too see a nice stable ics release from them too
i use my phone to much to be using beta software and ive had enough nokias in my time and had enough of unstable buggy firmware and waiting for patches to come to fix the bugs
i think april sounds about right for a genuine samsung firmware that has been fully tested for stabillity and compatabillity with apps and extras
Does not sound like an xda developer member...just sayin'

This really means nothing for international GS2's. More than likely Samsung's ICS will release in late December/early January and those on XDA will have it looong before Bell in Canada.
Bell is an North America carrier which does not have any Apple vs. Samsung court cases.
Yet, rest of the world do. That's why I can certainly say that Ice Cream Sandwich for SGS II & Galaxy Tabs will be the fastest delivery of an Android distribution (from Google release to End users) Samsung ever made.
That date is for carrier branded phones.
For international phones it would be much sooner.
I'm expecting mid Jan

Now after release of the leak version, lots of stuff are working but unstable, but now no any news of CM9 for galaxy S2. It seems we have to depend on Samsung rather then cm9 team for ICS. Developers pls don't be hurt. Almost all devices are getting ICS except S2. It really feels bad that we are deprived of the same. Thanks

Its actually samsung's fault they haven't got it working yet. Samsung hasn't released kernel sources yet. I think the main obstacle right now for cm9 is the RIL is unstable. Codeworkx said once they can stabilize that they'd probably have a beta soon after. Kernel sources would give the cm9 team what they need to get RIL stable. So when we get that or a leak with stable RIL we should get cm9. I totally believe the cm team will get to the finish line long before Samsung. The other devices already getting alphas and betas of cm9 must just be easier to get working. I've read the galaxy sII is "unique" to code for because of the hardware.

There's still a lot of work to be done by Sammy.
They can't release something they don't have - makes sense, doesn't it?
As for the second part of your statement: They did. KP1, nuff said.
Definitely for that carrier.
KP1 is already released and all the major functions work. So another month max it will take to release the stable version.
And I didn't pay 600 US$ to Devs, but Samsung, so it's their responsibility to release it at time, hence I don't give a damn what Devs are doing.
Still I think Samsung should take a little bit of extra time, if it's needed, it's far better to release a Stable version than releasing a non stable one in a hurry. Also Google said that they would like the manufacturers to use 4.0.3 as the base version, so I don't know if Samsung will give us 4.0.1 like KP1 or directly 4.0.3.
Google also wants 4.0.3 as the base version of Ice Cream Sandwich to be used by Android handset manufacturers.

Goes by and no sign of JB for the 8013. Sadness. I really thought it would be out this week. Anybody have any whispering about the wifi 8013 updates ?
Here are some things that are odd compared to Samsung's normal s/w roll outs:
1) The German ROM was for a carrier and not Samsung's own unlocked devices that are sold direct-to-consumer. Typically they roll-out their own devices first and carrier's generally prefer that so they and their customers aren't guinea pigs. So while a production ROM by its quality and features it could still be a leak. Are there any N8000 owners from Germany here that received the OTA directly rather than installing it via Odin like the majority of us? If so was your Note from mobilcom-debitel?
2) The German ROM is 3G. Historically Wi-Fi devices have received intermediate updates before 3G devices. For the OG G-Tab ICS update one region got a Wi-Fi update (UK) and another region got a 3G update (Italy). They were both released on the same day and were for Samsung's unlocked devices sold direct. The week after that other regions began receiving both updates.
3) There are no carrier specific apps or branding on the German ROM. And the lock screen short cuts were disabled but still packaged in the ROM as people that changed their CSC got them back. Both items are unusual.
4) Samsung released another 4.0.4 update for Argentina after the German JB ROM was outed. That doesn't make a lot of sense with JB so seemingly close to done. I've been using the German ROM since the day it became available and it's rock solid so it wouldn't seem as if there's a lot left for Samsung to do on it.
So it could all mean something or all mean nothing. But I've never seen Samsung treat a major update like this one by releasing a single carrier ROM then stopping.
I am not expecting JB until at least around Christmas (it could even be later)
I'm not even expecting a JB update.

I can only speculate on the oddity based on my personal experience, which I will relate by way of a story.
Back in the mid to late '90s I worked for U.S. Robotics. One day they called a meeting to introduce the features of the latest software being made available for the Courier modems, the only flashable modems we had at the time. The engineer that was talking, very frankly, explained that we were adding the stupidest feature ever to our modems and that it was going to cause a ton of support calls. He went on to explain that the reason they added the feature was that a saleman had promised it to big client and that the direct sale of 20,000 modems hinged on the feature being added. Considering we made well over $100 on a direct sale, that was over $2 million profit and about $12 million in total sales.
So it's entirely possible that Samsung was looking at a big order from someone in Germany that was contingent on JB being released on the Note 10.1. Money will make companies do a lot of strange things.
Just flash the 8000 JB and change the governor to onDemand. Then you have a flawless Jelly Bean Rom until the 8013/8010 firmware is released.
My husband has an Asus Transformer Infinity tablet and he got JB last weekend. I have a Galaxy Nexus phone and got JB in Sept. He has a GIII phone and has no JB. I would expect he will get his JB update for his phone before I get an update for my Note 10.1. But then again, we are on Verizon. Maybe neither of us will get the update. I really don't understand Samsung not giving US Note owners JB. I know about how awful Verizon is about updating the phones.
Well I can now guarantee that JB will be released very shortly for the 8013. How do I know this? Because I finally broke down and flashed the German version on mine :victory:

You don't have to. It only replaces the PDA (MD5) file which doesn't affect your apps, settings, and data if you use desktop Odin to update it. If you're on a 8010/8013 you will see some funkiness because the 3G ROM is looking for h/w that it can't find.
Looking at samsungs firmware update history at sammobile, the updates for all the other devices / regions comes around a month after the first update. So itll be december for us sadly :s

:laugh: I was thinking exactly the same, sometimes on monday...
But somewhat tells me that the actual JB was not completely finished, not buggy but usability flaws:
Annotate pictures, ok you can draw on the back of a picture, fine but to view it you get in that (paint)-editor again
did that make sense ? or did I overview something? Would be nicer with an airview support.:fingers-crossed:
Also in S-note when pressing the button on the s-pen while hovering, nice that it changes the pre-selectable writing tools (pen,pencil,brush,eraser) and cycle only through them. Edit: (works now)
My language is set to German, but got some French/ English texts...
I did 3 screenshots but didn't find out how I've done it! I know about the sw-button and the s-pen+button+press, but I was just looking through menues. Strange...
But otherwise, I like it. SApp- and Play-store works, also I didn't lose any data on the InternalSD (did move Tita. & Nand. backup to the extSD and computer)

Barry,
So if i odin via desktop the MD5 without rooting, flashing cwm or sorts, i can get JB on 8013 without changing csc? I stopped reading the WIP thread because i saw too many people flashing etc. Repeatedly. Ive had quite a bit of Samsungs so im familiar with odin - whats the quicksst route without losing data? Will Samsung apps work on the 8013 even though it wont find a sim card ?

Yes. I haven't been keeping up with the WIP thread but I'd guess their trying to figure out how to disable the 3G features in the ROM so it doesn't do strange things. I have a N8000 so anything I've shared is from using the ROM on it; not a Wi-Fi Note. So if your fellow Wi-Fi brethren have flashed the 3G ROM and the only issue has been wireless-related flakiness you should be fine. I'd read up some more on their experiences and make sure it's something you're comfortable with. I like JB but I was perfectly content with 4.0.4 which was very solid.

This hasn't been the case for some time - for example, Ice Cream Sandwich came to unlocked Galaxy S2 last, after all the carrier-branded ones got it.
The rationale is that Samsung needs to tailor (test and fix bugs) each carrier branded device to that particular carrier's network, but the unlocked one needs to be tailored to *all* carrier networks and so needs to benefit from the sum of all the bug fixing/testing from all the other carriers. I don't necessarily agree, it's just what was said at the time.
I've never seen Samsung treat a major update like this one by releasing a single carrier ROM then stopping.
Click to expand...

It could mean that they discovered bugs that needed to be fixed. They may be treating this german release a little like a public beta.
Here's another possible reason we're not hearing anything. The SGS3 JB roll-out doesn't appear to be going very well. This is from the SGS3 forum. If Samsung's rolling back SGS3 updates that's not a good thing for us as I'm sure the SGS3 is a higher-priority product based on sales alone and may be diverting attention from other devices. Purely speculation of course.

It’s been a bit of a roller-coaster when it comes to Jelly Bean on the Galaxy S2. Release dates have been pushed back and back, and there have recently been rumors flying about from Samsung Korea, but a solid release date still eludes S2 owners.
Well now we might actually be getting close to something more definite, as a Samsung spokesperson has stated that Android 4.1 updates will begin rolling out to current S2 owners in the beginning of February, if you’re living in Singapore.
So that’s both good news and bad news I suppose, great news that we are officially moving closer to a release date, but bad news as we still have no idea when the rest of the world will be seeing the update.
I suspect that the official release will fit with the recently information leaked from Samsung Korea, which interestingly has been taken down after it leaked. The leaked image showed the device running Android 4.1.2 and also listed the pre-installed apps and functionality which will ship with the update. Whilst 4.1.2 is not the newest version of Android, the update will contain all of the major Jelly Bean features, such as the updated camera, enhanced notification panel, swipe gesture typing, Google Now, and Project Butter.
So when can users in other regions expect to see the Jelly Bean update? Well it’s hard to say exactly, but we are probably still in for a long wait before we see any updates roll out in Europe or the US, as carriers will still want to tweak their specific versions of the update, and make sure that all their bloatware still works.
The good news is that we are officially etching ever closer, so we should hopefully see the Jelly Bean update roll out across the globe in the months following February.

Enough Sammy!
We ain't really playing your game anymore!
I am done with Samsung and It's little JB. I am pretty sure JB that sammy releases won't be no different to ICS (Except for Butter and few other spices).
Sammy -> ***** please! I'm done with ya & your exinos crap!. CM 10.1 \m/
Not interested anymore to Jellybean update for SGS2. Its because of delaying tactics from Samsung. They released Galaxy S2 plus with JB. I think Samsung is focusing on sales for SGS2 plus. So that JB for SGS2 is delayed. Samsung Sucks!

It’s been a bit of a roller-coaster when it comes to Jelly Bean on the Galaxy S2. Release dates have been pushed back and back, and there have recently been rumors flying about from Samsung Korea, but a solid release date still eludes S2 owners.
Well now we might actually be getting close to something more definite, as a Samsung spokesperson has stated that Android 4.1 updates will begin rolling out to current S2 owners in the beginning of February, if you’re living in Singapore.
So that’s both good news and bad news I suppose, great news that we are officially moving closer to a release date, but bad news as we still have no idea when the rest of the world will be seeing the update.
I suspect that the official release will fit with the recently information leaked from Samsung Korea, which interestingly has been taken down after it leaked. The leaked image showed the device running Android 4.1.2 and also listed the pre-installed apps and functionality which will ship with the update. Whilst 4.1.2 is not the newest version of Android, the update will contain all of the major Jelly Bean features, such as the updated camera, enhanced notification panel, swipe gesture typing, Google Now, and Project Butter.
So when can users in other regions expect to see the Jelly Bean update? Well it’s hard to say exactly, but we are probably still in for a long wait before we see any updates roll out in Europe or the US, as carriers will still want to tweak their specific versions of the update, and make sure that all their bloatware still works.

All this whinging about how crap Samsung is is doing my head in. There is a reason they are one of the biggest sellers of devices and that their phones are top of the hackers pile. The devices and the updates are among the best out there.

Sony will run flawleslly custom roms like CM, with butter and all the stuff, so you will not have to cry or wait for Sony to update or release sources or whatever.
I saw this leaked pic on GSM Arena from IFA. Rumor has it that it was one of the demo phones.. I dont think they would put a pre-production build on a demo device. I hope it fixes the little issues such as the SIM read issue and improves battery life. It wasnt terrible but it isnt quite what 4.2.2 was.
Being said it looks like Sense 5.5 WONT be released (initially) with 4.3, but it is great to see fast updates from OEM's while running skins.

Updated with tweets from LlabTooFeR:
@LlabTooFeR About 4.3 update for HTC One. It will have 2 waves,first wave 3.1x.xxx.x builds will be released in US with Sense 5.0 on board
@LlabTooFeR Second wave is for international HTC One with 4.3 and Sense 5.5 (not confirmed yet). So anyway first update 4.3 + 5.0 and second 4.3 + 5.5..
@LlabTooFeR Anyway all current devices (HTC One, One mini, Butterfly S) will get 5.5 at some point after release of HTC T6.
@LlabTooFeR I don't have any details about Sense 5.5.. HTC is really strict about Sense, see what happened with those designer guys...
Pocketnow has it in a video on a red one as well
video.
It's been stated that the update will be by the end of September so this does make sense, I can't remember the leak build number to see if it's newer or older. What I want is multiple lock screen widgets.
Is the next sense version going to be 5.5 or 6. I read about htc Designers Leaving HTC For New Company Interrogated For Expense Fraud and Stealing Sense 6.0 Trade Secrets. Either way i think that the new sense update will come with the One Max on release then to our One.

You have to take into consideration the carriers who will slow things down and over bloat it.
Mackenzie says he hopes to have ALL ones updated by end of September so it might have gotten sent to the carriers already or real soon so they can overbloat it and send it out by the end of the month, t-mobile might take the longest as they didn't have faith in the phone when it was launched that's why only the silver one is available through t-mobile, it's selling well but they favor Samsung

Sprint has black too, I spoke to someone from an htc kiosk who also worked at tmobile and he told me straight up tmobile didn't think the phone would be a top seller so there were stores that didn't order a large quantity but were wiped out once it was released, and this is true because that was the case in my area when I was in a tmobile store I over heard workers telling customers that it was sold out in 15 mins of release and that they had ordered a small quantity, fast forward a month later when I exchanged the iphone 5 for the one and that was still the case for some stores I called asking if it was in stock and the worker's at a couple different stores told me it was sold out and they order small quantities, they have special sections for the iphone and a big Samsung section but they lump the one next to phones like the cheap Nokia lumia model or the ghetto mytouch lol so there's my point

It doesn't matter when HTC drops the update, even if they did it today if your on AT&T or Verizon you will be lucky to see it by the end of the year. AT&T is horrific about updates, took them almost a year to put jellybean on the Note. If AT&T gets the one max before the end of the year you won't see official 4.3 for a very long time if ever.

I understand what your saying but AT&T could care less about the end users, the 5s and note3 are dropping any time now and if the max hits soon after that's all she wrote as far as official builds, will we see official 4.3 yes but not till end of year or first of next year. It's not HTC it's the carriers.

Still doesn't matter, att has to hold it and put there crap on it
Maybe a bit early but I am sure others must wonder the same thing:
We have android 4.3 based roms (despite 4.3 has not been released for our phone). - Personally I am super appreciative of this and think this demonstrate the coolness of android community development!
Now with Kit Kat released and looking super intersting (in particular the promise of a lower memory foot-print, and other highly valuable core functions) the obvious question is: Will there also be development for Kit Kat based ROMs for our phone? E.g. a CM base that others can build upon as is the case now with 4.3.
Having owned my razr HD +1 year now I still think it is a great phone! The bundled (stock) software is not perfect but the hardware (build quality + battery in particular) is super nice. Flashed with a well build custom ROM I really like my phone, even compared to friends newer models (samsung etc.).
I'll go out on a limb and say yes. Motorola just announced that the RAZR HD Dev edition will be receiving 4.4 KitKat in the near future.

Excellent!
Link to that quote?
Sent from my XT926 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Most likely from Motorola's OS Upgrade website that tells you their update plans for their devices at motorola.com/os, but that got changed to "This device is currently running Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean)
Future plan coming soon."
Most definitely it was a typo.
Here's the link
the difference between the dev edition and the global razr hd is just the bootloader. (correct me if i'm wrong here)
so the phones with unlocked bootloader could be able to install 4.4 from dev edition razr hd which would be awesome !
According to that link, the RAZR HD, will NOT have a kit kat update. Bummer, if that the case that would be enough reason for me to never buy another Motorola Phone, if not 4.4 at least we deserve a 4.3 official update. sigh.
I'm from Brazil and it is confirmed, the RAZR HD (XT925) will receive the KitKat 4.4 update, soon. There is the chat:

sorry, MORNING and THANK YOU. i was hurry. XD
I hope is true, now that Kitkat is officially out, we'll get more accurate info. That info makes me happy too
Edit.- Ok i tried the same chat trick, trough motorola México, and the response is that engineers are testing to determine whether the Razr HD would get and update or not. In this update I don't think it would depend on carrier, I mean it would at the point to whether I get it (X carrier) and my cousin don't (Y Carrier) well, I guess will have to wait. After all the hype google put into it and motorola now being a google company, one would think they will be more open about updates and such.

Its cool that you do some research on this. Thanks. Hopefully we end up getting Kit Kat!
As for the engineering testing: Somehow I think it would be a little for embarresing for Motorola if their 'about 1 year old product' would turn out "obsolete" for a upgrade that is supposed to run on only 512mb phones etc.
It may be factor that the XT925/XT926/XT905/XT907 may not get update as they are not Motorola X8 Mobile Computing System phones which Moto X, Droid HD, Droid Maxx and Droid mini are.

Agreed. But I still think it smells mostly like a 'business decision'.
Point being: If they don't update to 4.4. some people may be tempted to buy a new phone to get the newest (eg. a nexus 5 or motorola) = Cash win for Google (and maybe Motorola also).
On the other hand: Customers (myself included) will get a little pissed if they almost completely neglect updating their fairly recent top-line products (Razr HD). = Next time many will be looking elsewhere when out shopping a new phone to manufacturs that don't ditch support quite as quickly.
I like motorola's phone, but I for one will be thinking hard about buying one again if they ditch this upgrade. I don't they will though! I am optimistic and think we will get Kit Kat.
I'm up for renewal late this month, I can get a new Razr HD for free + a Razr D3(maybe for my kid) But, if in this time frame, we don't get the official word about update, not necessarily the update itself, but at least the promise of the update, I will move to another brand. The nexus 5 price seems very appealing.
4.4
Pay attention to the PA forums. there a guy CJ360 who has been putting Paranoid out with 4.3 daily driver. i assume he would jump on this and get us 4.4 goodness
No kitkat =no more Motorola
Phuk data isht
Don't count on that l!ar Pun!t Son! ...
Exactly the same hollow phrases were spoken over and over again one year ago.
Atrix users had been told "stay tuned for our upgrade plans" over months (round January 2012 it appeared that Atrix might eventually get ICS-Update).
Until november, when it finally changed to "Atrix will remain on Gingerbread".
SO: Don't expect too much. Be happy with what you have, the RazrHD (stock or CM10.X) already has a fine pool of roms to chose from and it is a great device - even with "only" Android 4.1.
Very nice Moto, don't give update to older model, instead push some fix for bootloader unlocking. dirty dirty...
Not that it is any excuse on Motorola behalf at all! But I think, what they don't tell us is that they are fairly dependent on Qualcomm (making drivers for the chipset, while they want to sell their new chipsets) + maybe the carriers (Verizon). I think Both Qualcomm and Verizon make big big bucks even if they have less contact with customers and are less know in generally. As for qualcomm they may becomming a bit like Intel that has much power even if they just "supply" to other manufactures.
If they (Motorola) don't deliver. We (the costumers) should keep complaining. Threating to take our business elsewhere rather than just buy a new "update" phone and keep the system alive with with manufactures(+ their suppliers) having no incentive to support their products.
here are some news:
these screenshots are from the motorola site,
this one was posted in this forum
and this one I did today
let's speculate for the next months, until we do NOT get any update
