You obviously don't understand the reason of buying a Nexus device. You buy a Nexus device not because of specs but because it runs pure Android and gets updated and supported straight from Google for years to come.
It is one of the sole reasons for owning a Nexus. If Kit-Kat were not to come to the N4 it would ruin everything that the Nexus line stood for.

Yes, GOOGLE NEXUS 4 will be the first device to get the kitkat 4.4 update, provided it is not released with/in Nexus 5.
Press thanks if I helped you. :good:

I have been a proud owner of my nexus 4 in many month, I know that the nexus would get all updates, but I read 10 Places that it onl y would be released for nexus 5 in october, and that's why I asked in here. Thanks!
No, only for Nexus S.
Logic says that KitKat will be first seen on Nexus 5 on release date, and after that we, nexus 4 owners, will receive it too.
Google would definitely want to show off KK on its new device first. Thats my guess.

Well that can be correct. No one knows what month it will be released in for the N4. I am sure it will be released first with the N5 and then to the N4 shortly after.
Heck, nothing has even been officially announced yet so no one knows what month anything is being released yet.

What was the reasoning for those statements by those 10 places? Bring a few examples, I want to see how they came up with that. I have heard the opposite, that kitkat will be built so that older and weaker devices could run it also, which is based on one sentence "It's our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody." - doesnt sound like "its our goal to make it exclusive for the next nexus".

The most important component same as S3:
- CPU/GPU
- Audio chipset
- Camera
AndreiLux built his Note 2 kernel based on S3 kernel.
Apparently it's the same kernel version as it was in 4.1.2. Along with too few app and UI updates, I am now quite certain that the Note 2 official 4.3 won't have any new features compared to the leaks, which is quite disappointing.

Yes. Andrei's Note Perseus kernel is basically a direct port from its S3 counterpart, with different config and makefiles.

It's a shame that we don't see the 3.4 kernel coming like on the S4 and N3 but at least there will be updated binaries, which really help in AOSP development.
Hey Guy,
I have a friend that works for the mobile division of BestBuy and he saw an email that Samsung sent them that says Lollipop should be released within a few days. The email doesn't specifically give that information but he says it shows instructions on how to update the demo devices to Lollipop and how to reinstall the retail demo software after the update. He said usually those kind of emails are sent within days of the actual updates which would mean that most of the units on demo (Note 4, S5, Alpha and possibly Note 3) should be getting 5.0 within a few days. This update affects DEMO units which are not carrier branded which could mean, as usual, some carriers might keep that update for testing until they are comfortable it is fully compatible with their network.
This is good news for us, as Samsung has already started pushing Lollipop to some European countries.
I say mid February
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Possible, depending on the carrier. I think T-mo pushes the updates quite quickly
The T-Mobile Note 2 I had earlier was still on Jelly Bean. Is Lollipop coming to T-Mobile Note Devices anytime soon?

It's verified that it's coming in Jan. It was verified to a mod, so it's pretty safe to rely on the information.

Lol I read it and when he edit he stated that it is not verified by Samsung lol. Even if Samsung releases it in jan Tmobile still has to bloat it up. So I say may now. Or may e the note 5 will be out first. Lol

I'll be crossing my fingers that a miracle happens and things do indeed roll out in January, lol
What's the purpose of waiting for an OTA? I get too excited to update if there is no reason to update and I have a stable ROM (Unless the ROM I use updates).

I dont think its about waiting for OTA, i think its about knowing more or less when our fav rom will make the jump to 5.0
I read the galaxy s5 will get lollipop first early January, note 4 "soon after".
It's real, but I don't think the note 4 will be the first to get it, and honestly as rude as this sounds, I don't care when other Samsung devices get it, I want it on my note 4! Official with everything working. Hopefully January

The S5 rollout started end of november. Note 4 should follow shortly as more and more leaks videos come out
I actually work at Best Buy. I'll see what I can dig up when I go to work tomorrow.
got to be earlier than march I mean by then we should be expecting another upgrade.... lol
I think by the mid or end of this month./
Like stated above...I could care less when the official update is released. I just want to know my roms will be updated.

It's funny how several people can read the same articles and interpret it VERY differently. Samsung has announced THEY will be rolling out Lollipop...this means unbranded devices. Then one of the articles uses words regarding US carriers as "could" and "as early as January" adding the disclaimer that the carriers will do whatever they want regarding testing and timelines. So before you all continue fighting over vaporware, research all the articles on KitKat and Jellybean that all had the same wording, people still posting "We will haz JB tomorrow" and then the US carriers releasing an OTA 2 months later. Granted Sprint and T-Mobile are usually the firsts in the US carrier line because they do not have to worry about unlocking and relocking a bootloader without bricking devices on an OTA....so rather than fight...just wait...be patient for that new Knox loaded Lollipop update.
I will be cleaning the disrespectful posts from this thread and expect those who posted in such a manner to accept this as an official warning...do not do so again!

At least I'm not the only one watching that thread like a hawk
I found this today:
https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-miui-beta-for-budget-redmi-smartphones/
The answer for your question is already mentioned in the thread if you read it slowly..
"Xiaomi has announced that July 5th onwards, it will now be limiting MIUI betas to smartphones which are less than a year old."
& as Note 7 is released in January then it will not be affected.
You is need to read carefully
