Samsung is known to be slower than most when it comes to updates for all of their devices. Its been like this for years and is not likely to change anytime soon. On the flip side, when samsung finally does realease updates, most of the time they are generally less buggy and are more stable than others.

Jutley, Perhaps you should have done a bit more research. Samsung is notorious for being slow with updates. I purchased my Note 8 after returning my Nexus 7Gen2. I knew it would be a while before I saw 4.2, 4.3 etc..... but I'm okay with it. This is a great device.

As if it's going to revolutionize how you use the tablet when you get it...

Go buy a nexus if updates are that important to you. Then go cry when you realise just how revolutionary the s-pen is and that the Nexus doesn't have it. S-pen functionality is far beyond anything that Android 4.3 has to offer.

I love my note 8.0 i just think we should get updates quicker that's all.

Always apologists... Anyways, I reckon we'll see the update within the next week or two... surprised if we don't.

Hey, you can't take it this way. Look, the update cannot be rolled out to all devices, models at the same time... Just be patient and it will come soon.

Even getting a few apps2SD is worth it to me.
I haven't noticed much bad in 4.2.2

Well I'm not holding my breath for it. I remember having the flagship Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 using Honeycomb still while my Nexus was on Jellybean. It did finally get Icecream sandwich but nothing more. Samsung will get around to releasing 4.2 eventually. Within the next two years I'm sure...

You can go here and root your note and put 4.2.2 on it now :good:

You are probably thinking of the second generation Galaxy Tab 10.1 which I don't think was considered flagship anymore, but I'm not sure about that.

Why spoiled? Why quote my post and call me spoiled? IMO they are slow. I didn't complain, or throw a tantrum. I went as far as to say that I'm content. It seems to me that you just wanted to be rude. Which is all too common on the web.

No offense but you need to pull up your big girl panties and just deal with it. Nobody here really care that you aren't happy.
I guess if you want cutting edge you should go buy a nexus 7

[Q] Thoughts on being updated to 4.4?

Though it's great that the Note 3 will come with Jellybean 4.3, Kit Kat 4.4 has already been announced. I see that 4.3 will be coming to the Note 2 and the GS3 sometime in October, I'm presuming to get everyone caught up to speed with the Note 3. How long would it be, before we could expect 4.4 to roll out on the Note 3? Just wanting general thoughts/opinions.

12.25.2013. Merry Christmas

It doesn't really matter does it? If the device works fine with 4.3 why would we instantly need 4.4. Just my 2c

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Nobody knows what 4.4 is about, nobody has much clue about GN3 performance till we start using it, and we have a thread about 4.4 on GN3. I couldn't care less about version of android as long as the phone works perfectly.
If someone is really fussed about 4.4, here's some facts:
It will take time to come to GN3, because note-series is not about latest android. It's about all proprietary stuffs stuffed into the handset.
If you want 4.4 at the earliest, get a Nexus - end of discussion.
You won't get 4.4 on GN3 for probably 4-5 months after release. You know this very well, infact everyone knows that. What more you would want to discuss here is a mystery to me. If I am totally honest here, there is nothing to discuss on this topic.
Everybody knows how this (update scenario) works, yet we spend countless time in unconstructive debate.

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A

A Nexus device is usually the only one to get the new OS for a couple of months. We will see devices announced at CES likely with 4.4 on them (maybe) but as to the GN3 getting it, late spring into early summer. Think April to June time frame depending on when it gets released. Verizon of course being DEAD LAST!

what is their source ?

According to a sales rep in Sweden that has yet to be wrong, the G2 is getting 4.4 indeed. We'll see if it pans out, but he's been right every time before.

Would love a source before I get all giddy

I know it will eventually gets updates to 4.4. But soon? I am still skeptical. I would love nothing more than to be prove wrong in this matter.
-LG G2

I really hope LG make a change and get better with updates! I would hope 4.4 is out this year for the G2, and I personally expect them to release 4.5 or 5.0 and maybe 1 update past that if the hardware can still handle it...

...... the G2 launched with 4.2.2 even though 4.3 was already out. I don't see LG releasing an official 4.4 any time soon. As much as I would like it, I just don't see it happening.

Maybe they'll just skip 4.3 and go right to 4.4!

they are making Nexus 5 for Google, who know, just enjoy your G2 now , awesome phone for me

I'd be happy just knowing what 4.4 has to offer. We know very little about it and everyone is going crazy to get it. We will see what they do, If LG wants to compete they will have no choice but to keep up with updates

I don't see any major benefits of getting new android version soon. Better is to fix small issues that G2 have now. I noticed that some companies skip android versions to deliver "latest and greatest". That's good until they do not delay issues to be fixed.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app

Yeah, its not uncommon to skip versions.
I'm pretty happy with my 4.2.2 though. What I would really prefer at this point is an AOKP 4.3 or something along the lines of it.

I think the issues with 4.3 will probably make most companies wait for 4.3. I will have to look at my son's phone to see what version Verizon has him on.

Don't worry, those of us with Verizon are surely going to have to wait a long time (for the official one, anyway.)

"Soon" is relative. LG has historically been slow at updating, I hope they break that mold because the G2 is a pretty awesome device.

LG needs to be faster with these updates. They made 2 nexus devices now so they need ti get their act together.

Safe to assume that we would most likely lose the Touchwiz stuff and S-Pen features? Pretty much go stock 4.4?

some of the under-the-hood improvements in 4.4 are pretty interesting/exciting.
but Samsung is gonna take ages.. probably
(I only need the Spen...)

I think the Note 2 people are still waiting for 4.3 ...... So I think we'll have a long wait unless you go custom.

Until Note 5 release, Samsung after sale service is horrible. Don't dream about you will get KitKat within a year.

Not really fair to be honest. Every Samsung device I've had got at least 1 major update within a few months of its release. It's the the older devices, ie note 2, s3 that will wait ages or not get it. The S4 + Note 3 will get kit kat by January if history repeats. Also in the past Samsung have denied updates to older devices due to hardware limits, Google are claiming kit kat can run happy on 512mb Ram so who knows, maybe old devices might just get a break (pun intended, sorry )

This.
As always, samsung is super slow with updates, so don't bother in at least 6 or 7 months, and even with that, the note line is never the first one, so probably S4 and S5 will get 4.4 2 or 3 months before the note.

Saw someone quote a samsung rep tweet about them being more concerned about getting most of the older devices to 4.3 first. And about note 3 having to wait at least 2 months for 4.4

on other news, HTC pledges to get 4.4 out to its HTC One in 90 days, Google Play Edition, in 15 days...
would be nice if Samsung could make and keep to a similar commitment

This is one thing, coming from iOS which is absolutely mind blowing how Samsung doesn't give a rats ass about being up to date. Why own a Android device that runs old software 1 month after buying it and not be allowed to update it.

i dont think its going to be within a month but i ve had all the notes so far. i717 original galaxy note shipped with gingerbread(2.3)
got updated to ice cream sandwhich 4.0.4( i believe) and than got updated to jellybean 4.1.2
note 2 was ics→4.1→4.3 coming in next month
the updates come but they are slow......But we do have a secret weapon... XDA woot woot!
I wish it was faster but to be honest doesnt really matter to me since im just gong to mess with

They did sell a significantly larger amount of Note 3's in a much shorter period than previous Note devices. So who knows? We had 4.3 well before the flagship S4...
As for the N2 (and S3) still lagging behind, that's because they skipped 4.2.

To quote Engadget :
Update: There's still no official word on why this is the case, but sources close to the company have pointed the finger at a different hardware issue on the Galaxy Nexus: its Texas Instruments-built chipset. The company is out of the mobile business and as such isn't in a great position to give the support necessary for continuing OS upgrades -- presumably some of those 1,700 employees let go in the shift away from mobile could have helped. Now we'll have to see if the community can pick up where the corporations left off or if this is the end of the road for the Gnex and its other OMAP-based kin like last year's Kindle Fire HD, Nook HD and Droid Bionic.
Seeing as we're talking Samsung devices here, I think we should be ok

The note 2 actually came shipped with 4.1 jb.
I don't really know about the fuzz with updates. It's not like apple pushes em out on a monthly basis, only when needed. Same for Samsung, people should stop whining about fast updates, making them work etc takes a lot of time. If they release it early and there are a few bugs people will whine about that.
If the phone works and it does very smoothly here under 4.3 why do you instantly need an update?
Sent from my SM-N9005 beast of a phone.

Could someone (in theory) create a stock google 4.4 rom for our Note 3?
I know stuff like eye detection and the S-Pen and god knows what else wouldn't work..

AOSP roms won't be out for a while until Samsung gives the community the binary drivers.
Samsung are slow at doing, only in Oct did they release the binaries for S4 6 months after release.
In theory you can download 4.4 and cook your own rom but without drivers from Samsung it won't be stable or certain hardware will not work at all.
If you want the latest and greatest Andriod then you should have brought a Nexus phone.

Cm11 kit kat was a huge improvement on my original droid razr. Ram management was awesome compared to stock. I hope samsung gets it right and it's not bogged down like 4.3. I've seen my note using 2.2 out of the 2.4 gb or ram available for no reason other than samsung apps running in the background. I know I shouldn't be too picky about it but thats also why I bought a phone with 3gb of ram so it would be a non issue.

KitKat has started release in Poland via Kies and official source code available now for developers. May be just around the corner. But we will just have to wait and see as usual.
