2¢ may not seem like much, but it is a lot to me. I would rather get everyone's 2¢ about it than to spend $200.00 on a phone and not be happy with it afterwards. Oh and by the way, my photon is my broadband conection for my computers here at home as well.

Nothing comes close to a photon in terms of radios. That phone all around was a great phone for me. Samsung radios are very weak compared to motorola. Only reason I got rid of my photon was because of the same reasons you want to get rid of yours.

Id say risk it and if the phone doesnt get good reception I think you have 15 days to return it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KB112:
I have realized that my GNII radio is stronger than my Evo 3d was. My 3G stepped up significantly using my Note. Just an FYI if you don't have LTE in your area, you will no longer be able to use your phone for broad band. The Photon is a Wimax device. You may be aware of this, I just wanted to point this out.

FYI - you may want to start your own thread on this topic. You may garner greater information and advice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] transistor62:
Actually, I don't have 4G where I live but I do use the 3G for my internet and the speed is not too bad here. I do use the 4G when I am in the town that does have 4G tho. The only reason I ended up with the moto photon in the first place was the store I went to only had one smart phone left that would do what I needed it to do. I was reluctant to take the photon at first because I didn't like motorola from my past experience as I am a ham radio, computer and network tech. After I got the photon home I was very suprised to find out how well the radios in it performed aside from the point that does everything I need it to do for for now. It looks like I will be leaning toward the galaxy note2 for my next phone unless they come out with something better or if motorola decides to unlock our phones (ha ha) when my contract runs out in 2014. Thank you again for all the comments.

I've always wonder what's the fascination about Google Wallet? Its only another way to pay for a cheeseburger.

I sometimes forget my wallet, I never forget my phone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chunology:
Mmmmmmmmm.... cheeseburger. Google Wallet may be a Google thing... my buddy has a GN2 on Tmobile and his gives him the same error we get.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
It's a way I don't have to take my wallet out and find a specific card. Once all locations have the "credit card air pass" station. All I need is my license and insurance and my phone. You don't find that convenient?

Some cases will even let you hold your license in a little pocket. Who needs extra stuff (unless you are a woman with a purse I guess).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] uofmike:
For me, the pop machines at work have NFC support and I'm usually walking around or in various labs and I leave my wallet at my desk. So to be able to pay via phone is really convenient.

Also when I'm not at work, it's fun to show off at random stores ;)

I rooted yesterday but didn't install custom rom. All I did was uninstalling flipboard and couple other samsung apps. Will I get the update installed automatically OTA or do I need to do it manually?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] guirae:
just to be clear...do i need to be stock for my phone to receive the OTA files?

or

when i receive/dL the new OTA software, it'll kill my root...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
if the ota wants to update one of the apps you removed it will fail.

I have a stock rooted image here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1978470

you could flash that in odin, keeping root then just titanium freeze or pm disable the apps you don't want. This will leave them on the system and you can then apply the ota when it comes out. Use supersu survival mode or something to retain root through the ota process.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bojackr1:
I hope thats not all it updates. We're still missing GW and Screen Record.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] todds67:
Does anyone know if this update would bring scrollable quick settings in the notifications. It seems as though this was shown in a review of the international version of the phone. If I've missed something in the settings to enable this then I sure could use some help to enable it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jocelyn:
I would say yes, because I don't think the international version had it until it received its first update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrRobinson:
This seems to be all they posted RE the update:

Version	Release date	Description of Enhancement/Fix
-----------------	----------------	---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
L900VPALJC	11/7/2012
- GPS lock settings can be defaulted by corporate device administrators

- Emails go to Outbox when in no coverage area or airplane mode

- Text message notification will beep while in a voice call

- Multi Window View feature to run two apps on the screen at the same time
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tahde:
I'm going to assume that updates to GW and SR will not be in this update. It has not been mentioned. I'd venture to say if anything, maybe a later update. There are other fixes/enhancements that are coming in the update, but the talk right now for this update is Multi-View.

mrRobinson beat me to it. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ZenInsight:
Sprint make NO money from Wallet...and ISIS is coming around which could earn them residuals. SO that may never be allowed. No carriers like to offer it.

Screen capture? So we can watch videos and capture them and torrent them. Like Netflix vids etc? Fat chance unless we get it from a hack.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tiffany84:
In the International note 2 forums they have a mod that allows you to add any apps you choose for the multi Window. So as soon as the American versions have multi Window I would assume we'd be able to use the same or similar method to add our own apps.

Edit: Here is one of the threads I'm talking about. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1953705

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jocelyn:
This^ I'm seeing LJ1 not LJC
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] bojackr1:
Wallet, ISIS, doesn't make a difference to me really. I just want Sprint/Google to bring a mobile payment option to the phone. I know thats not all NFC is used for but I (and many other users) would like one of options these enabled.

Screen capture is on the international version so it should be on ours. These are advertised features.

But at the end of the day I'm grateful that an update with more features is on its way.

When we talk about multi view are we talking about watching video on the homescreen or while another app is open?

A trick I used to do on my galaxy nexus to get updates.. if you go into app manager.. all programs.. find Google services framework clear the cache and force stop. Then go check for the update.. if cleared right it should show last checked on 12/31/1969.

That has help me get updates in the past
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hausman:
Yeah, I tried that earlier and it didn't work. :| Well, it worked in the sense that it said 1969 (as it did on my Xoom when I forced an update the same way) but I still didn't get the update.

I'm starting to wonder - Sprint claims it is out, but nobody actually reports getting it so far. I know they say 5-7 days over on the community forum, but you'd think by now someone on here would have it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Silent25r:
It will probably be a few days. At least now we know it is coming soon.

Of course. The more work I do on a ROM, the faster updates come out lol

Just got the update this morning. Multi Window is definitely here. Excellence. Glad I had flashed back to stock in prep for the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] skunkle88:
I'm on a stock rooted device. I just debloated it a little. I got the update and tried installing and it took me to Twrp. I tried installing with it and no luck. Apparently it requires stock recovery. I don't see the file on my SD card - doesn't mean it's not there, cause I'm not sure what I'm looking for. When I go to system updates now it says my system is up to date, but I'm still on the JL build, not the JC. Should I unroot my device with a stock tar to get the stock recovery and see if it will update? Help, not sure what to do?

Worked for me no problem but again I did restore to unroot stock before the update. Where would the update have downloaded to? I can post it if I can find it and it hasn't already been removed from my device by the actual update process.

Nevermind, saw the posts above. I'm unrooted so cache/tmp and most other system folders show up empty in my file manager. Not sure if the toolkit will work to root the new update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Devi0124:
Where did you find it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] uluaz:
okay so i was rooted with stock recovery and the update failed. if i install CWM/TWRP and flash the aa707e8a4b9e.update_SPH-L900_LJ1_to_LJC.zip file in my cache folder will that give me the update? also I will gladly upload the file if this is the correct one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tahde:
Yuppers

Epicnoob66 posted earlier. Check in your cache/tmp folder.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wanderr:
Definitely looks like the right file. If you can copy it off to a safe place before you try and restore that may be helpful. Not sure if the update process erases tmp files.

Related to the update but not related to finding the files... Scrolling toggle switches in the notification center are here. Not sure if these are customizable yet but the new ones seem to be Sound, Power Saving, Driving Mode AllShare Cast and Multi-Window.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Masterface7:
Here is another drop box link on mine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] uluaz:
ok so im back on a computer. so does this sound like the right method?

1) flash CWM/TWRP

2) copy the update out of the cache folder (i currently have it on my SD card)

3) boot to CWM/TWRP and flash the update

4) ??

5 ) profit
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Wanderr:
The update doesn't seem big enough to be a flashable ROM via CWM/TWRP but I'm new to the Android dev scene so couldn't really say for sure. Without completely understanding the process that the recovery tools use, my guess would be that it won't work. If you're feeling adventurous though you could try it assuming you have backups.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stylz3:
So this file that was uploaded to dropbox is not a flashable zip?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] uluaz:
i have no idea. it is the update file from my cache folder. im relatively new to flashing updates and whatnot, so im waiting to see if it is safe to flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -viperboy-:
OTAs are patch files. Basically it just patches current apps, just so you all know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] flamebeats:
Has anyone flashed success in TWRP? Im downloading now!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] stylz3:
Is possible this can be packaged as a flashable zip file?

Its already a zip file so I think it's flashable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] ReubenRene:
I tried flashing this.but it comes up as a "FAIL" so no it doesn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Masterface7:
It is already a flashable .zip but it can probably only be flash through the stock recovery. I think that is how these things work it has been a long time since i have been on a phone getting updates.

This is correct. Guys, just relax a little bit. If you're not STOCK ODEX'd you will not be able to take this and apply it. You CANNOT be on TWRP to flash this.

The reason yours failed is because you're on a deodex'd ROM, and using TWRP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cherylbaker:
I suspect we will either have to go back to complete stock or wait for a room developer to our it in their rom. .. or make a stock ripped Rom with it in it

I believe we now need one of the great devs here to get that zip setup to be able to be flashed via cwm or twrp. I'm with Masterface, I believe this can only be flashed through stock recovery for now until a dev comes in and hooks the zip up. If they are not doing this already. lol

I went back to stock, so I can try flashing via stock recovery in a little bit.

Enter recovery (volume up+power) select apply update in recovery navagate to the folder that you downloaded the file to. Select the file and recovery will do the rest. This method is only for stock UNROOTED phones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] chunology:
I just placed the file in the root of my SD card and flashed through stock recovery. Worked just fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tahde:
You cannot flash that file while having a custom recovery.

If you are currently stock now, just go into stock recovery and flash the file. After that, you can gain root again and have a custom recovery. Or, if you have root and custom recovery, just wait until one of the devs have made the file cwm/twrp ready. It will not be long. I'm sure they will have it set in the next couple hours if that.

Hey Viper, you think after installing the update (atleast in my case using stock recovery), the same process for rooting will be the same? I was assuming it would be, but since the build numbers have changed. I went to root after I did the update, but backed out because I was not totally sure. Should I just wait for root for the latest update?
