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.

So when can we expect it for the Verizon Note Edge... it looks Amazing on my note 4 the new features that is !!
Next year. No root and no update is killing me
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
It's one thing to block root, but this is complete bs that they can legally hold back lollipop.... not mentioning the cool additional features, but the known exploits alone they should have to push lollipop. I hate Verizon, I wish they would steal my unlimited data to give me a reason to jump ship
Sent from my SM-N915V
it's crazy that virtually every other Samsung phone prior to the Note Edge has been granted Lollipop. I just helped a friend of mine with her S4 update yesterday. (a little insulted that she had no idea what she was doing and here my phone is, all wonderful and beautiful but left out lol.) Thankfully I still have both my Note 4 and my S5 so I can switch out at anytime.
I have heard that one of the reasons big red is always slow on updates is for quality control, bugs, etc. Making sure that it's absolutely perfect before rolling it out. But when you go and see that the S5 was first to get Lollipop for the Verizon devices, it makes you think otherwise.

You guys act surprised. For years anyone on VZW knows we get locked bootloaders and updates are about 6 months to a year behind all other carriers. This should not be a shock to anyone. The Edge is very similar to the Note 4 and if they are rolling out 5.0.1 to the 4, I suspect the edge will be right behind it. At the end of the day, I stay with VZW because they have the best network where I need it.

You can't as of now !!
The title of this thread is misleading
no biggy ...
The Verizon Edge came out some time after the Verizon Note 4, so Lollipop will probably come out that much time later. No big deal.
On another note, I've been shouting this to every end of the Internet, but there is a serious problem with the so-called "Lollipop" update that Samsung has provided to just about all NON-S6/Edge devices, and that is the lack of KEY FEATURES like app pinning and multi-user accounts. HTC, LG and Motorola have provided these features with their Lollipop updates, and they are stock Android Lollipop features. But Samsung as they too-often do, is holding them back from all devices except the Tab S (which is older than the Note 4/Edge) and the S6, and it's pissed me off to no end. There are PLENTY of Samsung features that I'd love to get on my Note 4 and Edge that the S6 has, like themes for example. But I understand that that is a Samsung feature, and so Samsung certainly is within their rights to withhold it to promote the S6. That I get. Those are proprietary Samsung features. But Google Android features, no. They should not be able to keep those from us just for the sake of promoting their S6 when Lollipop supports it out of the box. My Nexus 6 has them and it's the same age as the Note 4. So I don't understand it.
It is very, very, very shady, especially in light of how locked-down their devices are becoming.
That said, some developers are working very hard to get root for the locked-down versions of the Note 4 and Edge, so we have to support their hard work! Keep up the good work, and make sure to press Samsung hard on the shady things they do.
If I knew of a way to let Google know that OEMs shouldn't be stock holding Google features back just for the sake of promoting new devices, I'd do it. Any suggestions would be useful. A petition? I dunno.
Hang in there folks!

Snapdragon 805 is a 32-bit processor so it won't matter if they optimize it for 64-bit.

This is amazing and I hope it leaks.
Given the last lollipop drop...I thought we all came to an understanding that tmobile will drop the firmware 4 months AFTER everyone elses drop it? This is just going to create a needless anticipation....and if it drop for international, odds of it being ported to tmobile is slim to none. lol...
I'm certainly not holding my breath this time around. My expectation this time is it'll come when it comes.

Apparently only the international LG G4 has an unlocked bootloader. I was considering this phone, but given the direction Samsung seems to be headed (no expandable storage/ removable battery); not any more.

Same here. I love my Note 4, but thinking of jumping ship at the next nexus release.
I highly doubt they'll remove the micro SD card slot and removable battery. A lot of people in the technology news believe that note will be a pro line for us power users. They're going to keep the S line for the lame end user. Anyway look like the current state of rumors are the note5 is not coming this year and Samsung is going with S6plus variant.
Sent from my SM-N910T using Tapatalk
Note 5 is definitely coming this year, the s6 plus could never replace the note line. It will release a month or two before note 5 launch.

Yes, the update maybe 64-bit optimized but 90% of Note 4s have Snapdragon 805 which is only 32-bit and won't be 64-bit, ever. The only 64-bit Note 4 in the world has the Exynos 5433, which wasn't enabled until Lollipop was released.

Yea, I was just about to post that. Here we go again with the same ****. As much I I love my N4 the 5.0.1 update, even on custom roms drains the battery faster then 4.4.4. Skipped again and I'm sure it won't be for a while before it comes to the N4. I'll be keeping this phone for 2 years but when it's time to switch I'll be looking at a different company.

I and many others disagree with the [bolded] as in above quote. Personally, due to possibly selecting a good lollipop base, following the instructions, selecting a decent kernel, doing research & setting up the kernel to maximize both performance & battery, along with the addition of a nifty little add-on Mod (found here on XDA) - Lspeed, I am very pleased with Lollipop and won't be looking backwards and look forward to further improvements if that is even possible as again, I am more than satisfied with my current setup. :good::good::good:

I won't argue your opinion as I don't have the facts as to what percentage of Note 4 owners don't understand how to modify their phones.
Actually when I post here on XDA, beings it's a "developers" site with most conversation in relevance to those that do learn and like to root, unlock, Rom, mod, ect... their devices, I guess I assume too much that I am representing my experiences and opinion to a relevant audience.

Actually the Galaxy Nexus did not come up on the ATT forum thread. It was pointed out that the Note 3 and the S4 (unlike the S5 and newer) would never see 5.1.1 . I was hoping to get better battery life with the 5.1.1 upgrade. I actually ordered the Nexus 6P twice then cancelled the order twice but I am definitely attracted to the idea of fast updates and long-lasting eligibility for upgrades offered by owning a Nexus device.

It seems like they are not interested in doing such thing yet, as far now the Samsung has issued a roadmap of the devices receiving or expected to receive Marshmallow update in near future and unfortunately Our beloved Galaxy Note 3 is not in the list. See this http://www.gsmarena.com/alleged_samsung_marshmallow_update_roadmap_leaks-news-15023.php
The Note 3 has been sunseted. Meaning no more updates. They were never going to release any updates above 5.0. on the Note 3.
The sad thing is because of this, I am done with buying another Samsung phone or tablet!
I just read they have sent 5.0 out to the note 3. You can also manually download and install through odin.

http://phandroid.com/2015/12/07/samsung-galaxy-note-4-marshmallow-upgrade/
Has anyone confirmed this is real yet, have the international forums blown up?
Does the Hungry version of the Note 4 have the same internal hardware as the T-Mobile version?
Either way if this is true Ports will be coming soon.
