Yea. Those mini apps have been a part of touchwiz on the tablets... useful, but not the same as the multi window. Sucks because that is actually one of the main marketing features.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ha1cy0n:
I'm glad I'm not the only person that's relatively pissed at Samsung. I've had damn-near every Galaxy they made, but I never rushed to get them when they came out. The Note II? Was like a kid in a candy store when I saw it. Got it 3 days after release, only to find that the feature I wanted more than anything is unavailable.

I too spoke with several reps at Samsung, who had NO IDEA what the multitasking was.. srsly? :eek:

I guess I'll be anxiously awaiting the OTA update..

I seriously hope it fixes the screen delay issue when you try to power on the screen from sleep!

Anyone else having that issue?

Nope, on the sprint version.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] loryda:
Yea im noticing that also.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lowandbehold:
Coming from the gnex, this is funny to me. Are you really that clueless to how updates work? I guarantee you that Samsung has already passed the update onto T-mobile who has to test it for weeks before they will push it out. Why would you be mad at Samsung? Go on the T-mobile page and search the Note 2. How many mentions of multi-view do you see? The N7100 is meant for international users, and any advertising involving that phone does not pertain to T-mobile at all. Suck it up, or buy a Nexus.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lawalty:
This is my 2 cents.

When Sammy lost the verdict from the Samsung vs iPhone trial, they told the reporters: "It will lead to fewer choices, less innovation, and potentially higher prices," - Samsung. Which explains their attitude in another reply statement from forum member lilcleo001 (in this very thread) HERE: "We are unable to speculate when/if this software upgrades revision might be available for Samsung Galaxy Note II due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion. - Sincerely, Chris Technical Support".

To me, this is TOTAL BS that they release an older version of the GN2 to the US, and do not have any notion or desire to update us to the international version level. They even think it might lead to confusion, and are unable to speculate when/if the update might be available. "IF" the software update "MIGHT" be available????

TOTAL BS!

This was my 2 cents.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilcleo001:
Wait... there was more BS emails I got from Samsung. I never got any answer. I replied to the first email and got these others.

"As we check, the latest software for your phone is T889UVLJ1. To check for the software version:

1.From the Home screen, touch Menu> Settings> About device.

2.The Build number and Baseband version show the current software version on your mobile device.

We understand that for us to be able to use the Split Screen feature, we need to press and hold the Back Key and an applications drawer or bar will show up on the left side of the screen. Choosing the first app to open will show up on the screen and to choose the other one, we need to open the apps drawer again to drag and drop the second app we want to see on the screen.

Phone does not support Kies for the update and as mentioned above, T889UVLJ1 is the latest version. "

"We" have "T889UVALJ1". I replied with this info and got this:

...

"The latest Operating System currently available from Google is the Jellybean software version which is pre-loaded in your Galaxy Note II."

Loving the support :eek:

I have the new Samsung Note 2 LTE model that I picked up unlocked in Hong Kong. I also tried to activate the multi-window on my Samsung Note 2 but was unable to do so. Is there something in the settings that one has to set first in order to have or activate this function?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Luthien1:

Please port
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] anyadike:
I spoke with T-Mobile today. The representative was very helpful. I haven't seen this link posted in the thread, but this is the webpage she gave me that will list previous, current and upcoming "Baseband" versions of the T-Mobile Note 2.

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4962
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] desiregeek:
It might just be a particular ROM that has it because the model I bought in Hong Kong is international and an unlocked version. Mine does not have it. I did thought see a Samsung Note 2 at CSL in Hong Kong (Telecom carrier) and theirs did have it on the left hand side from top to bottom. By swiping your finger from left to right you got a row of icons (applications) like on the Macbook lol.. Here comes another Apple lawsuit loll.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] desiregeek:
I downloaded KIES today and installed it on my Macbook Pro and then hooked up my new Samsung Note II to it. Upon doing so it notified me that a new Firmware Version was available so I downloaded it and installed it. Upon installing I found that with the new Firmware I do have that extra tab on the side for Multi-Windows :) I also found Flash to now be working on this device. In the past it was not working to view Applications that require Flash in order to view TV or Videos now it is possible but it does not look to stable as I tried it a few times and it worked and a few times where it would open but nothing would play. The Flash part seems to work at times and not work at other times now while the Side folder bar now does work. Holding down on the return menu on the bottom will bring it up and holding down will also take it away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] graveghoul:
So youre saying that through Kies we can update the device to get multi window? just wanna know that i read that right. Can you post screen shots?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilcleo001:
Is your Note 2 from T-Mobile USA? I tried this the day I purchased it and it did not work. I even got a replacement yesterday. Same baseband.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aristo2jzgte:
Heres a little teaser fir u guys!! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lilcleo001:
What is this a tease of? If you are talking about the pop up video, we can already do this. It's the split-window feature we are talking about. Like having the top half being youtube, the bottom an app for taking notes, or browser, or any other app. We are suppose to get to this feature by holding the "back" button for a few seconds.

We also don't have screen recording. (not to be confused with screenshot)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aristo2jzgte:

Hi guys!

Okay so more rather to cater to my burning curiosity of how the T-Mobile Varient would do with HSPA+ 42 and the 1700/2100 I went down this morning grabbed a white version and came home and did some test. And here's what I've found.

#1) The T-Mobile Variant of the Note 2 is Made in CHINA! While the N7100 is made in Korea

#2) The T-Mobile Variant had worse download speeds where I live and testing the HSPA+ speeds in my house resulted in the unlocked N7100 beating it on the 1900mhz band. (Keep in mind I only get HSPA+ On t-Mobile near my house all other are's that were tested I have edge on the N7100 they are still refarming.

#3) So I took it upon myself to see is the T-Mobile branded version actually faster? I drove around for about 10-20 miles stopping in different area's and testing, The highest I've Gotten with it was 15mbps down. However I was not able to compare it to the N7100 in the same exact location because that area is not yet refarmed. However Comparing it side by side the N7100 at home the N7100 had the edge in download speeds which was funny to me.

Besides that fact, the N7100 is fully unlocked and no bs from T-mobile on it and the instant I used the T-Mobile version I wanted the N7100 back. So Moral of the story for me was that is it worth getting the T-Mobile version? If your on the Re farmed network I'd say no get the N7100 instead no bloatware faster updates, Speeds won't vary much, and You can tether devices without rooting!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kjmonopoly7311:
Good to hear others thinking along these same lines. Guess it really depends on whether tour city is being refarmed.

I live in Memphis, and I've heard rumors that we're getting / already have the 1900 band. Guess I might need to find a good way to test before hand.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] trojanlawyer:
So would you be able to tell me if the T-mo Note and the N7100 are exact the same dimensions/shape. I want to buy a case for the T-mo version but I think all the ones on ebay are for the N7100. Maybe you can switch out battery covers to see if they fit. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] shojus:
They are the same damn phone except for the International version is made in Korean (says on label) and the U.S. variants are made in China (again, on the label) but the specs are the same as far as the meat and bones and the accessories will all work together just like the Galaxy S 3.... I have both a T-mobile (which I picked up today) Titanium color and An International Note in white and my T-mobile is performing a tad quicker as far as benchmarks but that really does not mean much... As far as where it's made.... I, personally, don't care cause they are both the same phone and qc for Samsung (in general) is the same across the board. I almost want to keep the T-mobile AND the International but I don't know if my budget will like that although I did get the International N7100 for $589.99 plus $12.00 back in ebay bucks so I can't complain on the price! The T-mobile was $688.00 OTD when I purchased it today but the HUGE difference is that the T-mobile will work on HSPA+ networks with both T-mobile and AT&T (if unlocked) and the International is edge on T-mobile(nothin you can do)... So I have more options as far as Pre-paid services and I can obtain insurance or a warranty without a problem in the US with the T-mobile version also... Another big plus! The International version is nice because it has hardly any bloat and it gets updates quickly! Who knows when we will see multitasking on the T-mobile version although they aren't as bad as some networks for updates... My opinions on the two versions.... ;)

EDIT: What he said above.... LOL He beat me to it! :) **I also notice on the T-mobile version that when you go to the dialer and press *#0*# there are more test options....??**

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] farfromovin:
That's one way to look at it I guess. If you get 1900 Mhz at your house and don't want to use your wifi, ok. I would take the Tmo version with wifi calling app and HSPA+42 radio with next years LTE bands built in and just run a debloated stock rom when they start popping up here (or pull your own bloat out using TB). I got one today at Tmo, rooted it, uninstalled a bunch of garbage, and am really happy with the device. The only thing I "want" is the TV animation when shutting the screen off lol. Oh, and I don't like the boot audio either of the SGH-T889, but that will change in a week or so when ROM's start getting released :) To each there own, although I'd bet the N7100 will get superior dev support...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] anoneemooz:
I'm going to receive my T-Mobile Note2 in a few days and I chose it pretty much for the same reasons as what had already been stated.

I am not based in the US..but I'm based in the Philippines and will just unlock my Note2. I got it through Wirefly so the price difference really did sway me to get it over the international variant. I also like that it is LTE capable so at least it's future proof somehow.

I am very capable of tinkering with phones so I can easily get rid of bloat and such.

My main concern is the amount of dev support this would be getting. I would imagine that due to the similar hardware, porting ROMs meant for international version would be relatively easy.

I'm wondering though if I could just flash an international based ROM straight away since I don't intend to use this with TMO anyway so I can live without sms/call/data of TMO as long as it can still somehow work with my international SIM and the phone still fully function.. I don't want to wait for updates via carrier.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] akpirani83:
I've read several of you are talking about uninstalling bloatware, wouldn't this hinder in the OTA update process (we should get one soon for the multi-window feature) whenever it gets pushed out. I thought it was best to disable or freeze the apps through TB rather than uninstalling it, could someone clarify that for me?

GN2 TMo on ATT with 3G speeds?

Besides unlocking a TMo note 2, did you have to do anything else to make it work on 3G on ATT? Did you actually test that it would work on ATT 3G or this is just a guess based on specs?

RE: Bloatware

its called root and titanium backup if you want the Tmo version and no bloatware. :) root is achievable on the Tmo Note 2, along w/CWM. i am sticking w/the stock rom since i plan to use S-Pen quite a bit. we'll see as the weeks go by and roms start to appear.

i went the tmo vs international due to that 1900 isn't in my area yet and won't be until end of year and our version as prev noted does have the LTE hardware and cheaper than importing an unlocked phone. has anyone noticed VERY slow A-GPS lockons when in doors? my gnex was freakin instant indoors.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] aeox:

Hi, maybe i'm planning to get Note2 T-Mobile. Please what do you think? Because my story is before my phone was Galaxy S2 T-Mobile using Straight Talk T-Mobile SIM card honestly got down speed in my area Philadelphia 11.5 Mbps:victory:(i swear to God). Now because i was getting excited with Note 2, so i bought Note 2 N7100 international. Now I'm using Straight Talk AT&T micro SIM card is :(very-very sucks, down speed only 2-4Mbps!! Should i stick/keep my Note 2 N7100 international or sell it and get Note 2 T-Mobile (T889)??:confused:?? But also i love:victory: development forum international device is always more thread than compare US device forum. If you were me , what:confused: you gonna do? Because all i know T-Mobile is getting LTE in 2013. Thank you very much. Appreciate.

There's a lot of talk about getting the T-mobile version to work on ATT 3G. I know it can't work on LTE yet, but what about ATT 4G (I know, I know, it's really 3G with a fancy name, but is that the 3G you are talking about, the 4G that pops up on the screen when it's working?)

Got my unlock code from Tmo in one day. I called them on Sunday night and received the code on Monday morning. Amazing! They used to require 3 months of service on a new phone before unlocking it. I've had this phone for just one week and now it's freely working on 4G on ATT (I have to use it on ATT because my business phone is on it). Now I'm finally free from iPhone (business line) and from carrying multiple phones on me. My personal Tmo number goes to SGN2 and it handles everything. It had 4G on Tmo and now it's 4G on ATT.
