I was chatting today online with someone from ATT and I asked her about the Kitkat update for our Note 3 and this is the info I got from her.

Apparently the update was faulty.

They told me the same thing last saturday.
I'm amazed a "big news blog" hasn't posted anything about it then

Korean Note3/S4A(S800 variant) are getting bugfix and stabilize update like every 3 days or so, at least 10 updates after 4.4.2 release. Since AT&T does not like minor inclined maintenance updates, they will probably wait until it get settled and push all it once later.
To be honest I kind of like having the new software and having updates pushed frequently for example ios but if it fixes the bug and makes it more stable then I'm fine with that

So a CSR reading off a script or making things up says "The update was faulty, so they pushed it back to get it all fixed that way it didn't ruin the phones" qualifies as AT&T's genuine progress statement on 4.4 to you guys? We're a couple of weeks behind the other U.S. carriers and Rogers which means nothing may be wrong and the wheels of progress at AT&T are just slow(er). Some of us have been using the leak for two months and it didn't "ruin our phones" so you'd have to imagine the final build can't be worse than the leak. Of all the customer-facing priorities AT&T faces I'm sure getting the N3, a single device out of dozens they sell, updated to 4.4 isn't one of the most pressing. Especially because their average customer could probably care less.
Wow thanks for the info because I've been looking all over the Internet for something and no one has said a word about this "faulty update". You've been a huge help. Thank you!

Well I was getting spammed by her so I decided to end and close the chat and I copied and paste it to a notepad and deleted everything to only see the important part that was told. Maybe the leak was good but they started adding other material which made it faulty lol.

well this will be the other reason why they have not pushed it out waiting for 4.43

Just read a article that someone posted in the xperia arc forums, and it has a chart with all US carrier pre-froyo phones and how long it took to update to froyo once it came out in may...
Aparrently, only like 7 of 41 pre froyo phones were updated o.o
Andof the samsung family tree, the intercept is the only one to get the update.
I wish I knew how to post links, cuz it was an interesting chart and It shows me we're not alone in this plight.
And, honestly, atleast we got a semi-official froyo build out...the x10 owners are stuck with eclair and a statement from sony erricson saying how they feel the custom 2.1 is on par or better than vanilla ui lol

This link has some info on it. Some guy says you can get it in the Sprint store. Until we get other confirmation though, I call BS. Then again I've also heard Tuesday may be OTA, which may corroborate the above statement. Either way, it is all complete rumor and no sources have proven to be reliable.

Wow sasung is just circle jerking. I wanna know what's so different in the vibrant 4g that it has froyo but the regular vibrant doesn't.
If I'm not mistaken, the only difference is the hspa+ radio and ffc right?
And nah you definitely won't be ale to get it from the sprint store lol and I doubt it'll happen this Tuesday. They're just hanging the carrot infront of our faces, but I don't cre to follow it anymore. If they decide to cut the string and give us the carrot, I'm happy, but now I'm just indifferent when I see it.

Looks like htc has the best update record, excluding the n1 since its a direct google line lol
Samsung=1 phone
Motorola=2phones
Htc=3 phones
No matter how you look at it, these are horriblenumbers.
These phones would have no life if it wasn't for xda

Not sure if this should be posted here but I got a look at the vibrant 4g yesterday and it is pretty sexy. With minor changes like ffc and new back the phone doesnt look different but feels different some how. I took some basic pix of it nothing too much. Scored a 990 on quadrant. Ffc is not bad at all and rear camera has no banding issue like vibrant so this might be helpful for us vibrant owners. Please don't get mad at me for posting this in just sharing some of my experience.

I would also be curious what your opinion is of the GPS ? And how is the call quality ? Any dropped calls ?
Not to be rude, but seems the U.S. carriers getting the shaft from Samsung. Why is T-Mobile just now releasing the Galaxy S-1 w/4G, which is based on last Summers technology, but Europe will get the brand new next generation Galaxy-S-2 beginning of next month. WTF Are we U.S. customers going have to wait until Summer for the Galaxy-S-2 to show up here ? And Europe will get it 4 - 5 months ahead of us ?

Europe has always gotten phones much much earlier than the US, nothing new here. That's why you get a whole year warranty (vs 3-4 months) for example. Also take a lot longer to get FCC approval than most European markets
Wont be able to tell you guys about gps n calls til next week (launch date) the phone I had was a live demo didn't even have inception movie on it yet. Samsung is having an event next week hopefully I get picked to go so ill have more info.

Hi
On the note facebook site they just posted the Galaxy Note 2 due in 2013!
For those who thought this year its unlikely

Does Samsung own that particular Facebook page? It seems rather odd they would announce a 'sequel' to a product a few scant months after the first version of it was released...

2013 is a year away guy...
http://www.facebook.com/SamsungGALAXYNote?sk=info
Seems kind of fishy, considering there are only 23k fans of the page. With 2 million phone sales you'd think there would be more. But then again, big companies like to take down unathorized FB pages that could do the brand damage. Seems like a weird way to spill the beans though
Nice information...
Yes, but announcing the next version of a product a few months after the first version has been released will destroy the first version's sales... It's like Apple releasing the iphone 4s, then 2 months later revealing the iphone5 with much better specs. Who is going to want to get locked into a contract when they know the bigger and better is coming out a year later?

FAKE for sure. The graphics are terrible; they've been copied from the web somewhere in low res, probably converted to jpg and modified. Look at the white space around the pics; it's full of pixelated artifacts. Total amateur fake.

S6 and S6 Edge should get Marshmallow in Jan 2016. Note 5 and S6 Edge+ will get update to newest Android OS this year, in December.
Note 4 and Note Edge ali month after S6, in February.
S5 and Alpha will probably get Marshmallow in March or even later.
Also it's nice to see Galaxy A and Galaxy E series getting Marshmallow but I would be even more happy if everyone got MM. My 3 years old Lumia 920 and cheapest Lumia 520 can run newest Windows 10 Mobile build officially so this is sad.

Damn we need this update very fast... The battery life for this device is very poor and doze might rev this up...
It is supposed to already have it but it doesnt work and i have been extremely exited for marshmallow but samsung needs to make me wait. If they push any further im going to go insane.

All of Samsung developers are most likely working on the s7 firmware and tizen.

Idk if that is sarcasm. But I don't have the inside scoop. The S7 is being pushed to release earlier next year so they are probably working hard on software features since the phone will probably be the same form factor. Tizen has made improvements. If Samsung wanted to they can dedicate all their mobile division man power to work on the Samsung flagship updates but they are constantly working on newer devices, os, and more. Samsung seems to release a device every 3 weeks.
Sent from my SM-G925T using Tapatalk
first of all. the eta you can find on the web, is only rumers, samsung have not told anybody about an eta, or put anything out on it, as always there is only one person from samsung that know when.
2. to say that all from samsung is working on the new flagship, is like saying that all of apple is working on a car, so there wont be any new devices or updates.
3. there is no company that ar releasing a new phone every 3 weekes, the rotate it so it will look like it, alot of the samsung phones the stats ar getting now, have been on the market for 6 mounth en EU, and the other way around
it is going to take more still
that is too much trust in the blogs
Screw that lmao.
I'm getting AOSP
Wuuuaaaa. Is sorpres

I noticed a trend that Samsung keeps following in recent years.
Every time there is a major os upgrade, they first release it in Poland, while keep releasing updates for older version in all other markets.
Example:

From personal experience, those first releases (from Poland) tend to be pretty buggy.
Seems like they are beta testing RC (release candidate) versions in Poland first, before offering them to the rest of the world.
Any thoughts?
Yes... I do agree with you... after some time other receive updated software and Poland also... it is the same for all other Samsung phones... why? Maybe they have SW department in Poland?

Because potato-based vodka is so good. It's like you're in the eye of a hurricane. It'll get you some drunk out of nowhere.
All due seriousness: Samsung's R&D team there also has "direct presence" with the major cellular provider there. The OTAs are more easily released. I'd also wager there is some regulatory stuff there to give it more incentive.

And that's why they get half baked firmwares. Makes sense...
However, I must say that the Poland 6.0.1 firmware is pretty close to perfect. No problems here.
