It's already officially confirmed. No reason to be skeptical.
It'll just take some time.. They'll be starting with the Note 3. We'll see the update around May/June.

reports suggests updates have already began rolling out so hopefully early April the Note gets its first KitKat release. Doesn't really matter where it gets released, hopefully some nice developer somewhere running KitKat can get his hands on it and cook a nice little Stock 4.4 Rom for us here. Can't wait. I'm running KitKat 4.4.2 on ProBam and damn it is so smooth! I don't see a reason for anyone to even upgrade from a Note 2. I am seriously considering keeping my Note 2 even after the Note 4 comes out. Unless some crazy improvements are in place and some massive hardware and build quality changes are there, then I won't even consider it. PS: Gotta love the ZeroLemon 9300 mAh battery! I have my phone running consistently on Gaming MODE and overclocked with Agni Kernel. SUPER Sweet and smooth and lasts at least 3 days before I need to recharge. Usually charge after two days, just because I don't want to see my battery going bellow 40% lol

Note 3 already has 4.4 update, I would expect N2 update in march

http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/0...tablets-will-see-kitkat-in-the-coming-months/

Note 2 in Australia (N7105) unbranded has no official update. Still on 4.1.2. So by the time 4.3 comes out, I'll already have the note 4.

It's officially confirmed, in the USA. I'm not in the USA, therefore it's not officially confirmed.
Given how long it took them to release the 4.3 update to the UK, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Great news 4.4.2!

I think instead of focusing and releasing 4.3 for those who haven't got it yet, they will directly release 4.4.2, as 4.3 wasn't a good experience for many samsung users.

Samsung and quick update: opposite words.
Also galaxy s II is not getting kitkat. Soon there will be time when our note 2 stops getting any updates. This is my last samsung phone, **** you samsung.

I don't understand what are you complaining about? You think it is different with i.e. HTC? I had Desire HD which was their top phone and never got jellybean, even though they promised; but then cancelled. Even with Nexus you get 18 months of updates...

18 months? It has been rolled out to nexus 4 already.
There is huge difference between desire hd and galaxy s 2. Galaxy s2 is well capable of handling any Android updates.

So what? They guarantee 18 months. You don't expect to get updates for the rest of your life? Todays phones have a lifetime of 2 years, then they became obsolete.... And no, there is no major difference between DHD and S2, DHD was also capable of runing JB - there are several XDA ROMs that work just fine, even faster than GB. They wouldn't make an update because it would mean re-partitioning the internal storage to accomodate larger OS (Sense).

OMG a dark day in history of human kind...
Obviously Samsung feels the same cause they didn't really want to release either yet...
But seriously, leaks are random, you can't seriously be upset that what has leaked was not the one you wanted...

Second that. I never understood why people are so impatient about software updates...like the Note was a completely useless garbage without ICS. Anyway, we have plenty ICS roms - even better than stock, so just flash one of them and be happy.

what the heck are you talking about?
international version had an ICS leak ages ago. sammobile had the i9220 leak and then made an n7000 version of it, this was like a month or so ago?
and whilst the att version is functional, its not without bugs. its also missing the much anticipated premium suite.
While technically he is right there has been no leak for the n7000 just the i9220. Doesn't matter really because no phone comes close to this bad boy even without ICS..
If I wanted ICS I would have bought a Nexus Prime..
Now that definitely warrants a new ICS thread...

Actually our ICS leak is fully functional. Everything works properly, runs smoothly, and our black crush even got better. So yeah I'd say it's pretty stable. It's my daily driver.

ahaha the day after i sold my samsung infuse gb was release for it
Simple answer.
ICS on N7000 should be easier for them.
AT&T Note: Had to be modified for faster internet access so users can hit their cap faster.
China's i9220 and Intl N7000 should be about the same thing and easier todo.
And leak are just leaks, who knows how someone got access to that? Maybe we already have a fully perfect ROM for N7000 and Samsung still working out to provide roms for AT&T so ICS update can be a global thing.
Could care less
What does ICS bring to the table, other than hardware acceleration,
probably some newer apps.
The current version of GB 2.3.6 runs on my note like greased lightning.
You know good & well when ICS is released for any device, it's going to have
some of the same growing pains that GB did when it was released.
Since my Note is my business connection device, I think I'll hold off on jumping
onto the ICS bandwagon, until I know for sure it's ROCK SOLID stable.
I don't have time dealing with bugs. Thanks to you bleeding heart types though.
If it wasn't for you, we'd never be anywhere, but, I can't afford to have the
device lock up, slow down, crash etc.

Ridiculous samsung!

S3 note 2 s4 mini are going to get kitkat updates !!!!!!!and not even a 4.2 jb for our s2!!! samsung has forgotten that today its at this stage bcoz of the best seller of that time the mighty galaxy s2!!!!!!!!!!
i NEVER will buy a sumsung device again !!!
Those devices were released comparatively late when seen wid s2..
S2 has been launched for 3yrs and i dont xpect any new updates..
Even gnexus didnt got any update after 18months....
So can't blame samsung...
As long as the phone works and does what I want it to do. I'm happy.

as there is no news floated anywhere.
If true how much time it takes after testing to come to reality.

According to our past experience, about 6 months

Android 5.0 Lollipop official update from Sprint for the S4 & S4 Triband?

When will Sprint officially release the update for both phones?
Thanks in advance.
First Android Lollipop needs to be released. Then Samsung needs to work on firmware for its line up. Note 4 first then s5, note 3, then s4. THEN... they need to send it to sprint so sprint can add it's enhancements (bloat)... AND THEN sprint starts the roll out which hits most devices two weeks after they announce it. Sprint is working on the 4.4.4 update now so we are looking at months.. maybe Feb or March.
I'm hoping since Google did the whole new preview thing that Samsung actually worked on it and push rapid updates to all their main devices to 1up other manufacturers but of course that won't happen.

Good chance we will see a Cyanogenmod or a port of google play edition rom or similar AOSP based rom first. And those will probably be better roms anyway.
Not to sound like a negative Nancy but, I havce a hard time beleieving Samsungs TW version of L will look any different than the Kitkat, version or the Jellybean version, or ICS and so on and so forth. All that beuty and features with be covered up and removed by ugly old tired TW crapola.

Android Marshmallow Discussion

In case you didn't know, T-Mobile has just confirmed via their support page the list of devices - Note 4 included- receiving Android 6.0 in the upcoming weeks/months.
https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates#tmoSUPDocTitle
Thanks,
Awesome. So we'll probably get it by 2017.
Probably about the same time as Android Nougat is released.

Don't you mean Android Zeppole?
Wait... So 5.1.1 was/is being slipped over?
Wow, so really when did T-Mobile fall way behind Verizon as the worst carrier for getting out updates? It used to be Verizon was far worse then all the carriers for getting out updates. I wish Sammy would just make there phones with Vanilla Android and the Spen and features work on those Kernels. Imagine CM with a working Spen suit?
How soon can we expect to see custom Marshmallow ROMs for our devices based on the ASOP Nexus Marshmallow ROMs?
So another 6ish months before we can hope to have an update. Skipping the one we know works. Hopefully Marshmallow isn't nearly as bad as when lollipop 5.0 landed. T-mobile is just about worthless for updates.

lol I feel your pain. I feel that way. But I'm actually one of those guys that hates battery drains and such so i never ever take a major update untill its been out awhile and i know there aren't issues. That's why I'm still on 4.4.4 running Hyperdrive RLS3 cause 5.0.1 i constantly hear the battery is noticeably worse on 5.0.1 then Kit Kat.
So Updates aren't crazy important to me, it's easy for me to just sit back and wait.

BaHumBug! We, Tmobile customers, should have already learned the lesson by now that this only means a 6-7 month wait for 6.0 (possible bugs too) and most will move on to different phones/carriers by then. I love my Note 4, I think it is still a great overall phone but Tmobile sucks with updates.
Also can't wait for those that will come to this thread lets say about 2-3 months from now that will ask "so did 6.0 come out yet?" or "Any news on 6.0?".
If this article is to be believed, there seems to be a certain Note 4 missing from development by Samsung....
I'll give you a hint... It starts with a T and ends with a Mobile.
