Samsung say in the UK any firmware after 2.3.3 is fake

Well Samsung have lost the plot now
I contacted them only to ask when if at all we were going to get the Google video chat and this is what they said
"Samsung UK Hi ******, we're sorry for the inconvenience caused. 2.3.4 is not available for the Galaxy S, and it is unlikely to become available. You may have the 2.3.4 update as it seems to have been leaked on the internet, however, this is not an official or authenticated update and will cause problems with the handset (like not being able to download certain apps), as well as voiding the warranty. The Google Video Chat is available with the official 2.3.4 update although again 2.3.4 is only available with the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1"
This is what there telling UK Users
Kies updated there phones and you wonder why you get noobs coming on when this is what there telling there customers
Heaven help us

well they are right these are the leaked version and i dnt agree with them tht some apps didnt install...custom roms are always better option in using too many apps.

Yeah they didn't say the firmwares are fake, just leaked.
Have to agree the customer service is pretty idiotic to say that there will unlikely to be 2.3.4 update for the Galaxy S. There are beta firmware being made with that build so obviously Samsung is planning on releasing it at one point unless they are wasting money developing a software they will never release for a laugh.

Firmware version XXJVQ(2.3.4) without gtalk video was officially released by samsung through KIES in europe

Leaked firmware are unsupported by samsung... That's logic, it's beta.
Nothing is "fake", please change your title if possible because i don't want a lot of private message like: "hey your JVT firmware is fake, **** you !" ; (
Edit: I know you don't believe that personally, it's just to avoid confusion for newbies.

I think there is only one person here thats lost the plot and it isn't samsung.

INSANEEEE. Yep! I an many others in the UK recieved 2.3.4 through Kies, i think i got it in August!!! How can they still claim to not have released it, atleast admit they have an issue with Kies....unless we are meant to be beta testers and contact them when we have issues?? Is it possible??

Well my local service centre has JVQ and it can from Samsung, and i have seen his official firmware list and its the last one, I should him your comments and he agree there support is naff, Its now spilling over to the SGS 2, You can now update via the phone no need for kies, No instruction on how to do this so you contact them and they say its never been possible or will it ever be possible over the Air, And has to be done through kies.
So He phoned Technical and its the First tier support were the problem is, Secound tear has heard something for the UK as a fix.
So he contacted his dealer support and there aware of what's being said and they said that JVQ is a official Rom
On face book Now there asking me if they should escalate this
What dumb person have they set on here ?????

So does this also mean 2.3.5 won't be under warranty?

JVT should become official because of this.
It should be time to do something about stupid patents.

Where's the Wi-Fi love!

This is mostly just me, after a whole 24 hours of being a Note 10.1 owner (woot, go me) being annoyed that its the 3G owners that have gotten all the update goodies!
Germany got theirs a month ago, UK got theirs today... but only the 8000 models.
In theory this would mean that the 8010/8013 models will get released in Germany first, and then in the UK a month after that...
I really really *really* hope that this is not the case though. For this would be... vexing.
Saying that, I'll probably end up rooting and putting the uk 8000 rom onto my tablet anyway, as I am an impatient soul. But it is the principle of the thing that counts!
I think the reason this whole thing bothered me is this poll I saw the other day - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1871383
If the 3G model was the most popular, then prioritising that firmware would make sense. It seems as though the WiFi models are by far the most prolific though!
OR.... WiFi users are more likely to answer polls.
Keep wishing hard guys, maybe we will get an update soon. and then hopefully someone will finally do a non-8000 custom rom!!

I have just decided to enjoy what I have for now. 8010 update before Christmas at some time will be fine with me. I dumped an iPad and a transformer 101 for my note and one for my other half. We are pleased.
Being a software developer I know the importance of good testing and would rather wait than have to put up with junk. Just my tuppence worth.

Makes sense, I also came from an iPad (the original one) and upgraded to a Note. Is quite a difference!

I'm a happy new owner also & very eager to get buttery smoothness on this fantastic piece of kit! hope we not waiting too long

I had enough couldn't wait anymore flashed the German jellybean on my 8010 couldn't be happier. I couldn't stand the lag on ICS, jellybean so smoooothhh don't care much for the feature smoothness was the most important.

Yep the 8000 firmware, I don't notice any drawbacks. It's stable like ics, a lot smoother, battery life same as ics 3days 10.5hrs screen. The only thing is you gotta set govonor on-demand

i want some wifi love too :crying:
i would like to have more developing for this tablet

Only real noticeable drawback is that if you use a USB toggle to connect a wireless keyboard or mouse it will drop signal on the German OTA. Other than that and the OnDemand thing as mentioned earlier it works fine on the 8013.

So that's the 8000 firmware on a 8010 Note? I understood there were issues with the ROM looking for hardware that doesn't exist. Sorry for bringing this up again, I like my Note and don't want to stuff it up.

I'm using "Team Union Rom" 8000 on my 8010 wifi without any problems what's so ever. All you have to do is use SetCPU which comes with the Rom to scaling: on-demand and check set on boot. No os issues, no random reboot all fine.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I'm pretty peev'd about this too. Can't believe that a non-3G device is getting the updates last of all. Surely theres no modem nor carrier testing to worry about so it should have actually been the first to be released?
I REALLY want to use the features of 4.1.1 and am refusing to utilise my Note properly until I get the official update.
COMEONE SAMSUNG!! Pull yer finger out!

+1 on this. This rom runs perfectly on our wifi devices

I dont want to be forced to ROOT my device though unfortunately (I have a SGS3 for all my custom ROM business lol)
Got apps that won't work if ROOT is enabled on my device, and as I intend to use this note 10.1 for work related stuff its going to be essential having a stock ROM........

What apps won't work on your SGS3 since root? I have yet to find anything whether it be on my note or my SGS3 that don't work...

DME for Enterprise (Work exchange emails) - That's because the administrator has set it to not allow ROOTED or Jailbroken devices. (I know its because I set it up lol!)
There is a work around but I care not to implement it as it still means turning a security feature off which is not worth it just for my sake!!.
Anyway - Anyone wanting to 'voice their concern' regarding no JB for 8010 users - please post on samsung page here:
http://www.facebook.com/SamsungMobile
(Look for post Entitled: GALAXY Note 10.1 gets Premium Suite update. Packs enhanced multitasking, new S Pen-optimized features and Android Jelly Bean.)

Good for Enterprise won't work on rooted phones when the no root policy is in effect.

I'm also a new owner of this tablet(closing in on 3 weeks). I have a Galaxy Nexus, so I know what it feels like to get updates fast. It's a little troublesome waiting for Samsung to update this device. I told myself that I wouldn't complain since Google probably takes around the same amount of time putting together updates, but they have the luxury of seeming fast by putting them out first. What I don't understand is why Samsung is releasing the JB update for the the 3G version first. This may be due to my ignorance, if so please excuse it, but I thought it would be easier to update the WiFi version especially considering they're pretty much done the development of it.

Don't wait for Screen Recoring in our Galaxy Note II N7100 ...

Pretty sure that most of Note II usesrs were waiting for the screen recording option that Samsung already announced ...
we were thinking that future software updates will add that option....
but that will not happen as Samsung already declared it on their official website in FAQ section that they will not add that option due to potential copyright concerns in some regions.
here is the article :
[FAQs] Smart Phone : My Galaxy Note II , GT-N7100 does not support the Screen Recording function?
Although Galaxy Note II,GT-N7100 was introduced at IFA event in 2012 with a Screen Recording function.
Samsung have decided not to include this feature in the final product due to potential copyright concerns in some regions.
As a result, Samsung does not, at this time, have a Software upgrade plan for the Screen Recording function.

Ye i figured they had killed this idea, in my view it has more to do with current versions of Android than anything else. Consider how many screen recording tools are on the play store and how many of them work properly with JB... err none!
If you want to record your screen get an MHL cable and a HDMI capture card only full proof way right now to do screen capture.
Anyone else want to way in with screen recorder conspiracy theories or am I on my own on this one

I don't think people are waiting for Samsung to do it. They're waiting for someone to jack the apk somehow and leak it in the Internet so they can flash it into their phones.

Some people have got the APK and have been looking for how to implement it, but there appears to be a host of libs and framework files required that we simply do not have.
Without those additional files we cannot use it.
The best alternative is to use Screencast, but root is required.

Soooo..... Are they going to remove the screenshot feature as well? Maybe disable the microphone? Axe the camera too... prevent any files from being download to the device?
I think Sammy just fed us a steaming spoonful of BS.

Torrents can still be downloaded to a device, much easier and better quality. You can also use the video camera feature if you're separate, but really, who uses recoding for pirating video? They can disable audio and problem solved. Our reduce it to 15fps... or a dozen other things, but they should remove or completely.
I need screen casting to help debug apps, not to pirate videos. Lots of people have legitimate uses.

Yeah don't think that's gonna happen, unless Samsung miraculously decides to offer us it sometime (i.e. never). Why would you not root your phone though? I mean you could always triangle away and revert to stock if you're claiming warranty or something. If you need those extra goodies, rooting is a must.

I don't root mostly because I can't afford the possibility that the device could be bricked due to my not understanding or doing the wrong thing even though I am quite computer literate having worked on computers professionally and as a hobby since the mid 70's and have built and sold computer systems over the years.

If you can able to port Note 3 over Note 8.0 wifi, I grantee that you will be a hero in this Note 8 forum, plus I will be more than happy to $donate$!!...
I was told by several recognized developers (note 3, S4 forums) that it is near impossible to do so because of different hardware specs.
I do understand that both are different hardware specs, but consider both called "note", all we need is crazy genius developer(s) to step in and make it happen
