now.note 2 willnot have 4.2..direct 4.3 here is proof
Australian carrier Telstra has received a confirmation that the Samsung Galaxy Note II 4G model will skip Android 4.2.2 and will be updated straight to the 4.3 Jelly Bean. It doesn't seem to be a regional thing either - all Galaxy Note II units might be treated that way.
Here is the official quote from Telstra's support page:
Samsung have elected globally to skip the 4.2.2 update for this device and will instead go to a newer version of Android. No schedule has been provided for this update.
We already know that Samsung Galaxy Note II will live long enough to taste the Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, so owners shouldn't worry about the Android updates.
Meanwhile, Samsung still manages to keep the upcoming Galaxy Note III under wraps, but a picture taken with it popped up in Picasa yesterday. It hardly gives us much info, but it does confirm the device model number - N9005. This will most probably going to be the Snapdragon 800 version of the phablet with the revamped Exynos 5 powering the N9000 version.
The Note III will be announced on September 4 ahead of IFA in Berlin. It's expected to bring 5.7" 1080p Super AMOLED display and 3GB of RAM.

HAHAHAHA!
I don't know why I'm laughing.
i hope it bring many new features
I guess I'll post something before all the complainers get here. I would've liked 4.2.2. I love the expandable notification drawer.
Yes . Somewhere in November.

Sigh.. I guess it's pretty official. At least 3 more months of waiting. Going almost an year without an update for a flagship device is VERY disappointing.

I'm tempted to upgrade because I'm getting bored, but there's nothing out there I want (tried the One for a few weeks and it was nice). I just want new software for my Note 2!

I'm in the same boat. There's no other device that I want, and the Note III is still far away. The 4.2.2 update was supposed to come out and make that bridge, that's why I find it very disappointing to hear those news.
Nice to see a 4.3 update will come to our devices but this will be arround end october/ november prolly.
With the Note III to come out
Great battery, superb performance, tons of apps and mods. Not bothered with official updates.

LOL @ the complaints.
Oh how truly awful it is for you! You have to wait a little to get an update that most 2012 phones will never even see Officially, must be hearbreaking and truly disappointing that your phone is being supported and getting the very latest and greatest OS version.
I bet the very same people would be complaining if Samsung updated the Note2 to 4.2.2 now and took even longer to update it to 4.3 and 5.0.
By the way, can someone name me one other 2012 Android phone sitting on 4.2.2 other than the Nexus 4? also, please name me one OTHER 2012 Android phone, other than Note2 (plus possibly GS3) and N4 that is confirmed to be getting 4.3?

That's totally beside the point. It shouldn't have to take them >8 months to push out the latest version.
As of now we need to wait for the updates who follow official releases.. no matter what the time the manufacturers decide!

Camera improvement
I hope a big improvement in 4.3 camera quality because is the only thing I don't like in my SGN2. I don't know why the video is so perfect and the photos are blurred and the file size is so small even using the Snap Camera... :crying:
What update you N7100 users are sitting on? T-Mobile has 4.1.2.
You know I don't really care for 4.2.2 but there should be at least better options. Like the use of our big screen. It should be like the mega or more tablet like functions.

Yeah, I just came here to start a poll on this story
IMHO we will get it - I think the original Samsung plan was to release a final 4.4.2 for the Note 3 only AFTER the S5, but the XEO leak might have prompted them to release early (and again IMHO unfinished, but that at least has forced a lot of apps to be updated for 4.4 much earlier, so it will make a much nicer launch for Samsung with the S5).
I hope not. That would hold me back buying the note 3. The New settings...meh

Officially, I don't think we'll get it. Look at the note 2. When the Note 3 released many thought air command would come to the note 2 with the 4.3 update. It turned out not to be so.
Unofficially Air command came to the note 2 before the offiical update arrived.
Which proved the device was more than capable, but Samsung didn't want to jeopardise potential upgraders ,so it wasnt ported.
We'll see though, no one knows for certain. Quite frankly I've been surprised Samsung have shown soo much support for the Note 3 with updates. Hopefully the trend continues.

Note 2 and Note 3 are direct competitors on the same segment of the market which is DEFINED by the SPen (and I would also add here the original Note 8, which has not even got 4.3 but at some point might jump directly on 4.4) - so on all those it is not a surprise that Samsung holds back stuff on the older models in order to sell the newer ones.
However the Note 3 and the S5 are not quite on the same segment.
But in the end you could be right, and Samsung could just slow-down the updates. But they might still need a new set of updates with the new Gear stuff anyway, so we'll probably see more details in 2-3 months.
I hope so. Tired of looking at the same Touchwiz for so long.
I am Aquaman!
i hope they change TW with new one. also i am tired of using the same TW since years.
Ps. as i noticed that galaxy s5 is a bit far from expectations. Personally i got disappointed and happy owned a note 3
note 3 new touchwiz
I do hope they update the note 3 with the new touchwiz please it looks better and refreshing to the users and i think it will be more light than the touchwiz the note 3 has right now hopefully they do update it with the new software s5 has along side with kitkat

Well, actually after MS came out with phone interface in Win 8, making it totally useless for mouse operated computers, KK breaking third party program usage of SD cards and Google maps update getting rid of traffic menu option, the only option I ever use on daily bases, me think everything is possible LOL. So it should be menu key long press brings multitasking on Note 3, I could go with that.
So what happens with S-finder we get now with long press of menu key?

Note tablet is pretty decent the 10.2 2014 Edition. - it's basically a massive Note 3 without the call functions.
When you guys were on the Note 2 before updating to the Note 3 (or any Galaxy device), how long did it take for the update(s) to come out where you would get the UI from the Galaxy S device? For example, the phone, web browser, texting UI, etc updated for the Note 2 and it looks similar to the S4. Like I understand it's hard to explain, but I was wondering when will our Note 3's look like the S5's TW ui?

Unlucky for your bootloader.
Usually it happens when the next iteration of your current device is released, 3 - 4 months later a major update would be released.
However with 4.4.3 looming near, Samsung may decide to think about the possibility of an image of the Note 3 having flat skins.
Yes, that is how you should think about Samsung's speed of updating ^^

I have AT&T in the US, so our updates are slower than other companies because of the bloating. I just want that LTE/Wifi mix booster software, UI updates, new camera editing features, and Ultra Power Saving Mode. Most of those are S5 features, but I am willing to wait. I also want a bug fix for the battery drain bug from 4.4.2. AT&T kaboshed our GPS and took many months to fix the phone. I could've gotten another phone from them, but I chose not to since I like the Note 3 a lot.
Is it because when we get it our battery problems will be solved and battery life will beat note 5... Strange that full price unlocked phones still no updates but usa carriers have. Disgraceful really... One thing I really like about the iPhone upgrades are fast and for every model with support for older models at least 2 or three years
Santa will bring it.
I agree with you that Samsung are holding 5.1.1 for Note 4 and that's probably not to fix bugs but more likely because they want Note 4 users move to Note 5.
But I don't think Apple is the best example when it comes to updates. They usually release updates that have performances or battery life problem on older iphone's models and only newer models (or the one from the year before) can access to all fonctionalities.

That can't be true. The 5.1.1 update is only available in the US right now which is the only country (apart from Korea) that will actually get the Note 5.

Is it not normally the case that the clever folk on the XDA forums can make it so that the US firmware for 5.1.1 can work on the international variant 910F?

Shouldn't be too much work, but I doubt it would be worth it considering the official update could come any day now. Also Sprint and T-Mobile released the updates, not Samsung, so Samsung could still be holding back the firmware for international Note 4 customers. There's just nothing we can do right now, other than to wait for the update to drop. I'm going to guess we'll see it the same time the Note 5/S6/S6 Edge/S6 Edge Plus (how many top tier phones does one company really need?) gets updates to Android Marshmellow (which is running awesome btw on my Nexus 5).

Sammy have screwed things up with lollipop on the sd variants. To get it to boot you need the modem files from the same base. This means to get 5.1.1 tmob booted we'd need the tmob modem. Trust me I've tried every thing I can think of to get either the tmob or sprint releases to boot but no luck

I don't think Samsung is holding back updates because of their selling policy. The usual customer doesn't know abou it. We on xda are keeping an eye on the updates, but we are probably just 1% and that isn't significant.

That is a valid argument, but most regular people at the store normally go for the phone with the newer android version, so even for regular Joes it matters.

I don't know...I'm just saying that my family is just buying the newer phones and they don't know what android version they are getting. I recently got my brothers note3 to use and he didn't update at all since he buyed it. And I think he's an avarage user.
The android versions are confusing for the avarage user, not like iOS. Google and Samsung and other manufacturers don't make such big deals of the updates like Apple does.
We've been waiting far too long for 5.1.1, I must say. Samsung truly have taken their time.
I've had the S2, S3 and S4, and never waited this long for updates.
I am loving my Note 4 more than any other Samsung...heck any phone in general I've owned, that is including more than my 1st smartphone, the Nokia N80, which I absolutely adored. Yet I can't help but feel Samsung is letting down what has to be their greatest smartphone in recent times with slow updates, its such a shame really.

Never waited this long for updates? Seriously, seems like you never owned a Galaxy Note N7000. More than 8 months waiting for the Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update and one year for Carrier Updates. The best treated Note was the Galaxy Note 2, which recived JB 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4 Kitkat and even Lollipop was planned for it. But yes, now that the Note 5 is released, we need to wait a couple of months to see a big update for our Note 4. I'm pretty sure that Android 6.0 Marshmallow will be the last one, sadly, knowing Samsung and their update policy.
It is very simple. They delay 5.1.1 because of Note 5. They want customer have more reasons to upgrade, to buy their new phone. And if they do like 5.0.1, just upgrade OS core, no more features like on S6, Note 4 user will be disappointed with them. Many user want removable battery, better battery life option, sd card support so they will not upgrade soon!

You are right, this is the truth.
I will keep my Note 4 (KitKat 4.4.4), I downgrade from 5.0.1 because of bugs and I will not update my Note 4 to any new firmware unless it will be bug free as much as the 4.4.4 firmware.
that will lead me to change my mind regarding what is next after Note 4 (My next smartphone) ?!!!
I will think twice before buying something from Samsung, specially after using glass for building their smartphones.
is there any chances to get marshmallow update for Note 3 (Snapdragon)
No one knows. But let the Note 5 selling start, and within a month of that Samsung will announce whether to update our device or not, that is if Note 5 doesn't sell well they will be angry (like anyone cares about that after releasing a phone like Note 5) and will say no, no Marshmallow for Note 3. But if Note 5 sells well then they will give us the update. I am positive about the update though.
Probably we may get an unofficial version.

The latest galaxy range of the s6 and the note 5 are the 'disappointment devices' .... I recon peoplewont buy them because of the important features they took out like Micro Sd slot...removable battery and the phone being made from pure glass and metal theyr basing it more on iphones... COMON SAMSUNG FIX UP.
When we see the Samsung's support's histroy there are no device that it support more than 24 month

I want to buy a note 3 now because it is a great device, screen size and resolution, battery life, etc... But I want to know if CM or and other custom rom will be available for marshmallow. The hardware should be able to handle it, right?
More likely there won't be an official Marshmellow update, because Note 3 is already old, despite the hardware being more than enough to handle it. It's not a hardware limitation but rather Samsung pulling to plug, plus, by now if you are carrier locked, no carrier will push an update for a phone which is over 24 months old.
Probably we will see a Marshmellow update, but it'll be unofficial. If you ask me, that's more than enough.
right! who likes touchwiz? hehe
Bump!
I'm just wondering, since the marshmallow leak for the Note 5.... if anyone is working on it. I've combed the forums but can't find any chatter.

Currently using temaseks Rom (CM 13) and loving it. Will never use Samsungs Touch wiz ever again.
Note 3 abandoned. I paid 800 for this. At least Microsoft will push updates till the pc crashes. Last Samsung cell phone I'll ever purchase.
