[Sarcasm]No, because it makes sense for Samsung to not update their latest flagship phone...[/Sarcasm]
They indeed have to update it at least once., Every OEM has a contract with Google to provide updates for at minimum 18 months.

Samsung never really cared for their custumers,its all about money for them, make sense why they wouldnt update their latest flagship.
Thanks anyways mate.

Lol. They will update. The question is not if but when. It could be as long as a year before they get around to it.

I confess I used this exact argument for the S2 not getting an official ICS update yet it got it anyway.
Both the I9505 and I9500 will definitely get 4.3.

yea well , eventually both will but as dr.m0x said the question is when..not like i cant live with it, but i always preferred pure android .I'd have bought the GE one if i waited a month after the release of the S 4 touchwiz.

it will get it but expect to wait a looooong time

Indeed ... also 4.3 does have some interesting features but nothing major from my perspective ... also i think they won't separate the editions for those major updates and they'll roll out them for all s4 together ... but that's only an assumption ... and i would be shocked if any s4 doesn't get 5.0 KLP update at all ...

Are your kidding buddy. Means now Galaxy S3 has rumored about 4.3 JB & you are talking about No to update of S4 to KLP.?

i saw somwhere that s2 got jelly bean update ... and s4 would not get an update that really matters? yes that would be shocking news indeed ... either from the community or from samsung eventually s4 will get that update ...
and also i noticed someone in this thread said something about a 18month commitment to google that OEMs should provide updates? never heard of that before ... is it legit?

Now with aosp support you can install yourself too.

wohoo, now we can start creating the treads like when, where, how, why, finaly, should I, what, who, almost, next week,day,month,hour KitKat 4.4 Jelly Bean, cant wait. Note4
So excited!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk

I think Note 2 will not see KitKat, the JB 4.3 update arrived very late and the device will dead on it.

It's frustrating my Kies keeps telling me it's downloaded the latest update as I bootup the laptop, sadly it's the 4.1.2 this is a worst tease than than hearing about Kitkat

So we can expect 4.4 cust rom for note 2
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I remember reading on an official Samsung notice that the note2 will be updated to at least 5, which was expected to be released in October, but 4.4 arrived in its place.
4.4 is designed to work on lower spec devices, which should free up some resources to allow for the resource hungry note 3 apps to be ported over. so 4.4 certainly WILL make an appearance on the Note II. and a high probability of at least one more update to 5.0.
then we can start threads crying about the lack of ported apps from the note4 and note5....

Judging by how they bungled 4.3 (the S3 update was pulled and the Note 2 update put on hold in the UK) I wouldn't hold my breath. My contract will be up for renewal in February and I'll be off to another manufacturer.
This was my first and last Samsung.
Poor show.

Well I thought I'd shut down the "upload" on Kies so it doesn't eat up the boot time. Just another bit of windup from samsung joke store.

More than enough. Even phones with 512mb ram can handle 4.4 so there is no excuse. The note 2 can handle 4.4 without any problem but if samsung will update it only time will tell

Only good thing with Nexus phones is that they get updates first, nothing else. The design, hardware etc is so boring and even the screen is useless.

The device was announced & released on May 2012, how is it two years old already? 1.5 years.

Samsung usually push 2 updates to their phones we got these updates so it would be a miricle to get kikkat from samsung

iphone 4s gets the newest ios form apple and why sould the s3 dont get kitkat? kitkat was made for lower devices and s3 is quad core or am i a noob and the s3 is now a low device
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

everything is possible with CyanogenMod

It will surely get kitkat. Why it wouldn't? 4 months are ahead,so it will be shocking if Samsung won't do anything in these months.
S4 and Note 3 will get their Kit Kat and then it will come to S3 and Note 2 devices,I'm 100% sure.

S3 & Note 2 will get the KitKat bar !! In 1 or 2 months S4 and note 3 will get kitkat (stock roms have already leaked ) ..the in 3 or 4 months S3 will get kit kat ....dont 4get the great and mighty S2 which got a lot of updates and compared to S2 , S3 users are more !!

Hi, there is already a quites stable beta version of SLIM-KAT available for the GT-i9300.
It is based on AOSP 4.4.2 and more information you can find on the XDA-forum "[ROM] [4.4.2] SlimKat i9300 [beta Weeklies]" and their website "slimroms.net".

S3 is the father of mobile . its better than i9500 - and yes with cm you will always be updated and better than stock one.
I am on 4.4.2 and ART its fabulous fast with 1.6 Ghz

I don't find any reason why s3 won't get 4.4 update

No development for Europe?

As I'm still patiently waiting for the kit kat update for my region, I wonder if they have completely abandoned Europe development. I still have the mj6 update which is the latest firmware for Greece. Since then Samsung had released mk1, ml1, kit kat etc for usa but they completely neglect Europe the last 6 months.
Is this normal or they have sold like 30 tablets in whole Europe and they don't even care?
So who are the other 29 who had bought note 10.1 2014 from Europe?

Germany here, I bought one of the remaining 29. I'm still confident, that we will get the KitKat update soon. Being not the first one getting the update is not always a bad thing. There are reports of horizontal lines at video playback and audio glitches with the current 4.4 version. As I use my tablet heavily for video playback, I would not be amused about problems concerning video playback.
So I hope Samsung gets this sorted out then they can start to roll out the update in Europe as well.

I use the us update here in Switzerland. I have no issues at all so far. Videoplayback I is fine for me. I'll install the AUT version when it arrives, but no rush kitkat is great.

Samaung is always bad with updates, worst was HTC but now they are the best, they provide new android os within a month with sense ui and latest sense 6 to previous high and mid range devices. While samsung never ever upgrades ui. You should always consider this b4 buying sams phones but i expdcted some aosp or ports from other devices, sadly we also lack these

Here from Netherland, and I bought one of the last remaining 28. Sadly no kitkat update here, but I have no issues at all. I don't expect kitkat soon.

No you're not. If you were you wouldn't have started this thread. The EU usually gets non-carrier updates first. In this case the U.S. did. And it was about ten days ago which for those not anxiety stricken isn't a lot of time. This thread is just like the SM-P601 and SM-P605 "Samsung's abandoned us" threads. Everyone wants to be first but obviously not everyone can. Suck it up.

I'm in the UK here I bought one of the last remaining 27 but as @foo rightly pointed out it's better getting it later as it normally means all the little and big bugs get fixed. Either way your not the only one waiting there are 30 of us

But geographically neutral. I would have said the same thing if EU N10.1-14's got updated first and someone from the U.S. threw a tantrum. And I have no skin in the game. My N10.1-14's from Latin America.

Just flash the USA KitKat? It's fine.

I know but you need to root and trip Knox fuse. Multi user is a core feature since 4.2 so there's no excuse for Samsung in a premium device like unlocked P605s. That's my point of view, maybe wrong maybe not [emoji12]

Oh I thought you ment art (Android) well for writing and art (Mac) is good but for tablet (ipad) I can't tell. I'd go for Windows on that one. Much more convenient and more apps can be used. And you don't have to worry about any damn can't install outside app store. Bullocks stuff is what it is.
But I can't really recommend any good Windows tablet though. that you'll have to look for what suites you.

Not the 2012 version of the note 10.1. This tablet is ancient and Samsung is more concerned with making money then keeping its loyal customers happy.
