Just got off the phone with the Samsung support, because I was complaining that the Note 8.0 does not have Multi User support. She gave me two bits of information.
1. This device is getting 4.3, but no known release date yet
2. Multi users will be in the update.
That is cool. We have multi user now in some custom roms, however 4.3 would be nice with the enhanced group play features'''

New Note 10.1 has 4.3 but no multi user support. I'd expect Note 8 to get a copy of that. I'll be glad to be wrong.
That's great news!

Exactly. And as usual it wont be too quick.
That's good news if true!
You can also have multi user today if you don't mind installing sbrissen 's cm 10.2 and changing a configuration file.
I don't care about 4.3...I want 4.4
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk
I hope it won't stop at 4.3. We would also love to have 4.4
According to SAMSUNG's update strategy we probably will have to wait a long time to receive Kitkat...
I would take anything purported to be from a Samsung support rep with a huge grain of salt. Having said that, I don't doubt that we will get either or both 4.3 and 4.4 eventually. This tab has only been out for 6-7 months.
unless we get the new note features, i dont see any advantage getting new android. hopefully samsung will work to get us the new note 3 & note 10.1 software features

Agreed. TouchWiz and S-pen functionality seems to overshadow much of what would be changes from 4.2.2 to 4.3/4.4.

Hello guys.....
As we all know that Samsung made a huge changes for thier smartphones with jellybean 4.1.2......
One more thing we all get bored with jellybean 4.1.2..... Is it right....???
And what do you think....??? And what changes going to be done in jellybean 4.2.x....... What features going to be add
Will samsung improve more (or) only make minute changes
Did you get any news (or) information about upcoming update or leaks for Jellybean 4.2
So what your opinion on this
Lets share your thoughts opinions, leaks

I would rather want key lime pie.. I can skip the 4.2.1 update...

How's it going everyone. I'm new to this section of the forum as I just upgraded from a S3. I recently updated my Note 2 but it still shows 4.1.1 is there a 4.1.2 out? I'm in the US and not sure what is the latest stock version available for the Note 2. Any help is appreciated.

I prefer 4.1.x to 4.2.x so I'll likely skip that update if it comes. I'm actually on 4.1.1 now after reversing back from 4.1.2 and I'm happy with it.
When I had my Nexus 4.2 was slower and buggier than 4.1.

I dont see any diffrence between the 4.1.2
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II using TapaTalk 2.
personally, i dont really mind when we get 4.2.1. there arent that many add ons that i would consider significant enough to warrant an update.
want lockscreen widgets? most music apps already have them and some of the other apps on the market already do too.
want photo sphere? i dont see how samsung (or other app developers) wouldnt be able to add that themselves to their own camera app.
improved keyboard with gesture typing? we already have that.
multiple users? dunno about you guys but im the only one using my phone. sure, would be nice to lock out friends with a guest account when they borrow my phone, but not a necessity or something i'll use everyday.
wireless mirroring? cant we already do that with allshare?
daydream? not something i'd use since it pretty much stops the device from going to sleep, which will reduce battery life.
4.2.1 is mainly an improvement for those who are using unadulterated aosp and aokp, but for someone like me who doesnt actually mind touchwiz, its not significant enough for me to shout out whoop dee doo.

4.1.2 is out for some regions but not all yet. theres been a few revised 4.1.2 updates for my device already so maybe check with kies on yours?
I hope Samsung add a better way to manage your tabs in stock browser.( like the way in Dolphin Browser, Chrome etc.) :fingers-crossed:
I can't believe they didn't implemented such thing in first place, considering the fact that we have this ginormous screen.

You folks do know that there has already been a 4.2.1 leak for the S3 a while back. Most likely they will start rolling it out after the S4 becomes commercially available.
The firmware wasn't very stable as it was a development build but it did contain many of the features that ship with the S4.
I imagine the Note2 version will contain some extra stuff.
You can get the S3 firmware from Sammobile.

Well Google just announced android 4.4 KitKat. I wonder if Samsung will decide to skip the 4.3 upgrade for our phones and go straight to 4.4. If they do that even I will stop defending them when it comes to updates.
" I will stop defending them"....?...What if you get 4.4 soon directly.??
Sent from my GT-N5100 using Tapatalk 2
Not gonna happen mate.
S4 and Note 3 will get the update first.
S3 and Note 2: not before Q2 2014.
I'll come out when the new Nexus does. Probably October.
So far all I'm seeing for sure is an advertisement for Kitkat bars and android.com cobbling email addresses.
Where did you get the "Soon" part from?
5.0 KLP would be better for us b/c from 4.3 to 4.4 the new features will probably be less important than from 4.3 to 5.0.

MW and SPen are Samsung features and we don't have any 4.3 Samsung FW.
Then 4.1.2?
It seems that there is some confusion on weather the Note 2 was mentioned as part of the handsets receiving the 4.3 upgrade this October.
The only phones mentioned were the S3 and S4. There was no other device mentioned.
Most online news sites have reported this. Sources :
Engadget
Android Authority
Sammobile
Andoid Spin
We will most likely get the upgrade. This is not a Samsung hate thread. I just wanna clear up the fact that the only devices that are covered by the update announcement are the S3 and S4. Samsung is most likely just giving the Note 3 more exclusive time with 4.3 and delaying our upgrades after the sales of their new phablet take off.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45329959&postcount=9 :silly:
False , Note 2 is getting
What Engadget reported is not true. Here you go with the official demo by samsung. You can see that Note 2 is getting the 4.3 version by october this year.
http://youtu.be/oMr5gywv0zM?t=3m51s
He says the S3 and Note 2 will receive updates in October. Fair enough he doesn't actually mention android 4.3, but as far as I'm aware, the compatibility with galaxy gear requires Bluetooth 4.0 which is enabled through android 4.3? Not so sure about that last bit so please do correct me of I'm mistaken.
I hope we get the new features of the note 3, I quite fancy the look of the new s note and air command.

Hey I'm glad I read this post confirming N2 is due an update Oct '13. I had my doubts because other threads said N2 update was not mentioned at the unpacking.
I follow your reasoning that the update will likely be 4.3. Otherwise connectivity with the Gear will not be possible. It's been unequivocally stated that 4.3 bluetooth is required - where else would the capabilitycome from? Sammy want us to buy the Gear. It all ties in with rumors Sammy planned skipping 4.2 for 4.3

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. Usually I'd think they would wait a couple more months to let the note 3 sales ride out before updating the note 2, but in the interest of getting the gear out there, they might just push it early.
I won't be buying a gear as its not for me, but if we get an early 4.3 update with the new note 3 features because of it, then I'm so very glad it's coming out!!
It's sucks
A year after the Note 2 was release and Samsung did not updated Note 2
that sucks, many other Devices had the 4.2.2 and 4.3 and im in 4.1.2
Wifi drains my standby battery like there's no tomorrow. No such problem on my Nexus 4 (or any HTC One S).
I sincerely hope 4.3 sorts this problem out.

Plus stock camera and samsung drivers are far beyond any other camera app in the market, CM and AOSP cameras are just pathetic and correct me if I'm wrong but even if S-PEN works in non-samsung based Roms, it doesn't detect the pressure of it.
So I'm still waiting for the update, then the great devs of this forum can do the magic.

samsung most probably wont officially update the s3 to 4.4 because by the time 4.4 is out for samsung devices, s3 will be out of the 18 months update window provided by samsung.
the hardware wont be at fault over here though.
we may be ditched just like galaxy nexus is ditched for 4.4 kitkat.

?? touchwiz? who said anything about touchwiz?
he's talking about the binary blobs of the mali driver. CM needs that too, for smooth animations and the like.
That's the reason why CM 10.2 has laggy animations and CM 10.1.3 doesn't. Same reason for Omni.
We have 4.2 blobs, but not for 4.3.
Exynos
So.. I'm sure the community will release a 4.4 ROM sooner or later but depending on the community rather than Samsung i think that a broad community is necessary to get good results. I was used to a great developer community delivering great ROMs and options for my Samsung Captivate but now i see that somewhat diminished in i9300 because of the Exynos code being closed to devs. Camera being faulty, animations being laggy, etc.
I'm wondering that maybe its time to move from my gs3 to some other device with a Snapdragon maybe and an active dev community. I'm not a dev but I really enjoy their work. Which device do you think its currently one that promises good dev activity? Am I right to think snapdragon is a better choice? In that case, could a, say ATT GS4 with Snapdragon, be a better option?
Thank you!

I would bet that the only way any of us are gonna see 4.4.2 is when it comes on the new Galaxy Note Pro 8.4 if that ever comes! They just announced the 8" Tab Pro but no word on the new 8" note.

No. It actually going to be happen relatively sooner. As very good indication, Samsung will debut new Samsung S5 at MWC 2014, and possible annouce KitKat 4.4 updates for not-to-older devices as well. This is the only chance that Note 8 will get KitKat 4.4, remember that there's 18 months of software support for Android smartphones (Google’s 18 month mark), if it won't get 4.4 this time, it will never going to see 4.4 (officially at least)

I hope happens soon! but to be honest we dont even have 4.3.....do you think they will skip it and go straight for 4.4?
Well until all my 400 apps are updated to properly run 4.4, I'd rather wait it out. Nothing like app bugs on an android device. Doesn't any of you notice how much apps are being updated. Gosh, since X-mas there has been one update after another for compatibility issues with 4.4, or bugs because of backwards compatibility after the 4.4 fix. Common Google! Get your act together or MS will kicky your lilly white bahookie!

Yes I believe they will, consider that there's not a lot of difference between 4.3 and 4.4, so it makes sense for Samsung to skip 4.3 for Note 8 and go straight to 4.4
of course, all these are guessing games, we never know for sure..

I've run several 4.4 ROMs on this device and have had zero app compatibility issues.

It seems that you guys don't have much experience with samsung. I feel, from what I have seen from them over a few years that my prediction is....no kitkat 4.4 for the note 8 ever!
