[NEWS] Official 4.4 Kitkat will arrived on Galaxy Grand - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General

Yesterday, Samsung U.S. confirmed that 14 devices will soon be making the switch to Android 4.4 KitKat. However, there was no mention of when international models would be receiving the KitKat update. Fret not users, as we now have confirmation as to which international models will be getting the Android 4.4 KitKat update. The list is Samsung Poland’s official KitKat update list that was obtained today by Polish blogger Robert Nawrowski. It is to be noted that not all models listed below would be making the switch to KitKat right away. They will move to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, and eventually receive KitKat.
Here are the international models that will be making the switch to Android 4.4 KitKat:
Galaxy Note 3
Galaxy Note 2
Galaxy S4
Galaxy S4 Active
Galaxy S4 Zoom
Galaxy Mega 6.3
Galaxy Mega 5.8
Galaxy Grand
Galaxy Express
Galaxy Note 8.0
Galaxy Note 10.1
Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition
Galaxy Tab 3 7.0
Galaxy Tab 3 8.0
Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

The list is identical to the list of models detailed by Samsung U.S., although unlike the U.S. list, it isn’t clear as to when these mobiles will receive the OTA update. Most devices launched last year are included in the list, with a few notable exclusions like the Galaxy Core. It is interesting to see that the Galaxy S3 won’t be making the switch to Android 4.4 KitKat, but considering that it is now close to two years since its official launch, we won’t blame Samsung for giving the S3 a miss.

It's grand only else 2 would have been mentioned. But still can't trust the same until official word is heard from Samsung itself.

Its from Samsung Poland
The good news is that this list is even bigger than the US-centric one, with 17 devices on it: Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Active, Galaxy S4 Mini, Galaxy S4 Zoom, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy Mega 6.3, Galaxy Mega 5.8, Galaxy Grand, Galaxy Express 2, Galaxy Note 10.1, Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, Galaxy Note 8.0, Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, Galaxy Tab 3 8.0, Galaxy Tab 3 10.1, and Galaxy Grand 2 LTE. Some of these may jump directly to 4.4, and others that are running older software versions may still receive some interim updates as well.

I wonder the DUOS(I9082) version of Galaxy Grand will have the official ones.
but sure thing is if Galaxy Grand will receive the official update, it can make our existing 4.4 ROMs more stable.
Also, Galaxy S III wont receive it because of not enough RAM (1Gb), same then Galaxy Grand has the same amount
or RAM (1Gb) though will recieve an Official ones.
I think of two things on this:
1. If Galaxy Grand will receive Kitkat, Galaxy S III will receive it well, worst case, both phones will not receive it.
2. Galaxy Grand (only 12Months Old)is around Google's 18-month rule, while Galaxy S III is almost 20months Old.

it's for sure grand will recieve 4.3 and let's hope 4.4 in future after android 5 update release in future:victory:
but am gona keep my lovely grand for that long until it taste real kitkat love my grand so much:crying:

First..its not SO-CALLED KitKat..it is FREAKING KitKat ..developers leave everything for days, their personal time,sitting just on that freaking screen, not making their ass off just so that WE can get KitKat and custom Roms ..so atleast don't insult them and their hard work by calling them SO-CALLED KITKAT..it is kitkat(every driver,single lib, single .dex file,single smali ) everything is pure kitkat...not so stop such comments u make especially with words "soCALLED" ..
Now abt the Samsung thingy .. @black87 only said that we already got KitKat(as that guy said waiting for KitKat)
there are many new comers who don't even know galaxy grand duos got custom KitKat Roms.. That's why the guy just made a point!!

Informing isn't a crime, but for normal users custom roms is not a daily driver... Neither these ROMS give full functionality, neither they are as enjoyable as stock ROMS are..
And taunting that we had kitkat long ago seems bad, coz d basic thing is missing, and thats Dual SIM support, thats y most of the people bought this phone...

SGS3 not to get Note 2 features

Hi all,
Just received notification from Samsung that the SGS3 will NOT be getting any features like the Note 2 has ie. Multi Window, Popup Note or Idea sketch...Shame as they look awesome hope someone can PORT the apps or the Note 2 ROM
Well, I think it shouldn't be that hard to port a Note 2-ROM to the SGS 3, as they're based on nearly the same specs... Would be nice to see some of those features in a custom ROM though
There are already ROMs with the Note 2 gallery and camera, for example.

indeed but they are problematic for some people, i'd much prefer to see a full ROM port which cant be that difficult as hardware is pretty much identical, although there could be ram issues.
None of features sound that ground breaking. I will stick to the stock ROM + root. Thanks.

What exactly is it that you want to get? The note has a separate sensor on the screen for he stylus so you would get any short cuts or quick notes.
Anything else software related should be available to port.

Sooner or later we will all switch to CyanogenMod when Samsung stops updating our phones and newer Android versions released.
When you feature gets ported people say it's awesome, when it dosent people say it's not that good. :banghead:

Lol, why would they give you the Note's features on an S3? what's the point of a note then? xD
Cmon, you bought a phone and agreed to have what it had at that point of time, heck samsung doesn't even have to update it (the box had 4.0.4 and you agreed to that.
So be happy and stop complaining.
lets not question the validity of peoples need / want for these features, that's just stupid.
I also want Note 2 features and I have a solution...

I seem to have this feeling that we're not getting these features due to the lack of RAM (1GB vs 2GB).
IMHO Samsung should have really put 2GB into the GT-I9300...
Hopefully later revisions of the GT-I9300 will have 2GB of RAM. Fat chance but one can wish.

Well that depends on how soon it is. Like imagine iPhone 6 is coming out tmr. Will you buy the iPhone 5 now?
Samsung will normally just update 2 Android versions and the update is gone. That is about a year left for Key Lime Pie update I guess. So in the end I really don't mind not having Note 2 features. Plus I don't trust Samsung software features. Samsung is a hardware not a software company.

Galaxy Note to get Android 4.2.2 by Samsung

Another headache...
In 2011, 2012 and this year Samsung brought plenty of Android devices. Today we received, through our insider the first pre-list about upcoming Android updates from the Korean giant. Samsung will update the Galaxy S II and Note to Android 4.2.2 but this will be the last update for these devices. This means the Galaxy S II and Note received an update from 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 and will stop at Android version 4.2.2. Google is the only OEM which gives so many updates to its devices but Samsung is doing the same now. Below is the list of devices, which will receive the Android 4.2.2 update from Samsung.
But there is more according to the first pre-list, Samsung will only update 5 devices to Android 5.0, which is not yet announced by Google but is expected to be announced at the upcoming Google IO. The devices which will be getting the Android 5.0 update are the Galaxy S III, Galaxy S4, Note II, Note 8.0 and Note 10.1. Our insider finished with saying that plenty of MID-range Android devices of 2012 / 2013 will also receive a value pack update. Samsung did this before with the first generation of Galaxy devices. The insider confirmed Google’s next version is expected to be a big update and Samsung will take some time to update their devices.
Below is the list of devices which is not confirmed by Samsung yet. But is confirmed by our insider.

Really sad that Samsung won't update the Galaxy Note GT-N7000 to Android 5.0 but in my opinion Android 4.2.2 is enough for me. It has the best features i've ever seen and thats enough for me

Jelly Bean is running perfectly on the Galaxy Note for me .. Even better than Ice Cream Sandwich
I am a bit dissapointed that the Galaxy Note hasn't all the features which S4 has for e.x the feature with Tap Top(where you tap on the phone and the list will go up to the top), i think Samsung built an extra Sensor for it which Note doesn't have.
LETS PRAY FOR ONE THING: I hope the Android 4.2.2 isn't using a sensor for AIR Gesture(to swipe pics by hands), i hope the Air Gesture feature is using the normal front camera, so that we could use it too on Note, otherwise i will be very sad and 4.2.2 would be nothing for me because i've never seen a better feature than this, but c'mon, ITS AWESOME!
Peace :good:
It is going to be very, very long wait. Till then let us keep our device cool.

4.2.2? Definitely a long wait. Especially when the 4.1.1/4.1.2 is not even released to every counties yet.
I think there may be another google i/o the next year for android 6.0 if we ever get our 4.2.2.
Jelly bean hype is over long before most note users still didnt get their hands on jb on their phones.
I am waiting for klp custom for my note rather than a wait for 4.2.2.

100% I agree with you! Samsung brings out new phones left and right just to be able to corner the market! Anyway as I said you don't have to wait for Samsung for updates- THAT IS THE REASON WHY YOU ARE HERE IN XDA! To Take advantage of the (free) MODs of folks like Balliboxer, k2wl, Chuto222, and others who give us S4 features on the grand.

I'm sure our handset can handle 4.2.2 really well.
I've used CM before, on my Galaxy W and Tab 2 7.0, but I still missed the look and feel of stock ROM, so I reverted back and just rooted, and froze some useless apps with Titanium backup. I had no problem with how CM runs, it's really fast and smooth, but it's the bugs that I can't live with. I guess there are some users out there who are like me, and that's why they're hoping for an official upgrade (that we could always root).
I really don't care about Samsung. I'm just waiting CM to be fairly working (at least the 2 SIM) with i9082.

The dual sim source code is still not released by samsung so almost impossible for dev to work on.

I've tried 4.2 on another device and there's nothing there that 4.1 doesn't have, except 1-2 cosmetic stuff in the notification panel.
Touch wiz? A crappy launcher! Third part launcher are much better, highly customizable, icons changing, gestures etc.
Instead of 4.2 it would be much nicer to have a real floating multi windows mod as I requested in the apps and themes sections, cuz this is a REAL improvement.
But 4.2, bah, you're wasting your time guys...
We'll Get the Update.
Now we can do only one thing-
That is to Wait.
Good Things Comes to Those Who Wait.

There was no official mention of the Note 2 getting an upgrade to 4.3

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.

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.

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.

I do, a ROM that doesn't utilize the Spen fully on my Note doesn't stick around my phone for long. what's the point of not using it if it's there? Might as well buy a Sammy Mega then:silly:

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.

Who loves the battery performance, with that the battery sucks.

Are we getting Android 5.0? Rumors, links, etc..

After only a day from the official presentation from Google, there are already rumors tnat note 2 will get the Android 5.0, or so called Android L.
This is the first link i came across that it has info about that:

Please comment and share thoughts about the update.

I think we will get cm, aokp based roms but i really doubt about official samsung update. You should trust samsung with this
For me no doubt, that we will get it cause N2 is so popular even after nearly 2 years and Samsung will produce and sell this device surely one more year :good:
I really doubt of an official samsung update.... but let's hope....
Honestly I'd prefere a kernel update on the kitkat release.... and some open sourcing of the exynos ****.... :crying::crying:
Suppose we could hope? Even for KK 4.4.2 or 4.4.3 ota soon?
No we won't get it. It's not the matter of popularity of the device or anything. It's that each manufacturer must provide at least 18 months of support or 3 major updates. We got ourselves 4.1.2, 4.3 and 4.4.2. So yeah, the support for the device is over. Samsung has stop support for S3, so it's our turn now

I am pessimistic about Samsung coding and releasing another update for such an old phone. Even though its pretty powerful and popular .

i apologize if i'm off topic
i have htc desire HD and with the help and roms of this site i like my phone again
I found Note II in a special price (the 4G edition) and i wanna ask if it is the right decision to purchase it or to go for the samsung S4
I know the differences between this two phones. I just don't want to buy a phone near its end of life
Thank you
Kostas
My S4 i9506 still didnt get KK and you here asking for android L? You should be grateful that samsung remembered it has a device called note 2
Samsung? forget it...
CM or aosp worth looking forward to
I wonder when CM AOSP or OMNI release come since 4.4 I am using mostly aosp based roms . and they are taking one more step ahead every day. I didnt miss tw
Well landing of 4.4 has been a major achievement post all the rubble created.
5.0 will definitely not be delivered to Note 2.
How else will you be motivated to buy those expensive plastic devices

Can anyone tell me when can we expect aosp based Android L for our n7100 device. Eagerly waiting.

Not before it's official release which will be in a few months (hopefully).
Having 4.4.2 kernel sources may allow future 5.x AOSP builds for N710x
