For me this thread is a good source of rumours.
[Galaxy Note II General] AcostaJA:
The best source of rumors it's Samsung and itd lacks of information on upcoming updates progress, so we don't know what going on from an official source, so every *source* becomes best than nothing and it's when the rumour born.

Samsung sees no business reason in playing with rumors.

Sammobile releases concept photos that some 15 year old made in his basement and folks go wild.

Sammobile says 'COMING OUT TOMORRO!!!!' and folks go wild.

Sammobile says 'Just kiddin! NEXT WEEK!''' and folks go wild.

In the meantime, Samsung has no rumor department. They have no business reason to stir the pot of conjecture. They work on updates to fix or improve, no point in throwing out a hard date that they can't make. The current update works pretty well. SDS fixed and pretty amazing battery life even with the stock battery.

Those that are threatening to kill their cats, jump into traffic, and go buy an inferior phone just to Show da Man, are just venting for no legit reason.

No 4.2.2 for note 2, Hurray wise move Samsung. Jump directly to 4.3
[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
Which means really long wait since 4.3 is not out yet :( Anyways, there's not much new in 4.2.2.... we're only waiting for S4 camera features and such....
[Galaxy Note II General] darkchazz:
If that's true, then it means the S4 will get it first and we will have to wait two/three more months while they sell more devices before we get the update.... :(
[Galaxy Note II General] sohebq:
I actually predicted this a month ago that If samsung didn't release the update yet, they most probably will release it after note 3. Now I guess it will happen like this. They will give us 4.3 around xmas and will say o we have updated note 2 with latest features from s4 and note 3.

[Galaxy Note II General] thedadio:
This is pure bull crap. Im off to find another phone with same size screen and similar battery then ditching my n2. Im fedup of waiting. I may even try a budget phone like huawei or import the new lg optimus
[Galaxy Note II General] aliasretro:
Ok, good to know, good luck to you. We others are waiting for Android 5.0 that I'm pretty sure coming to note II.

Remember it was never Samsung who started all those speculations about specific months for firmware updates, they kept quiet about any updates.

All we have is speculations. And that's all we still have. Goodbye. If 4.2.2. or 4.3 is that important to you wich mainly is "under the hood" fixes, sure - get yourself another device..nobody cares. :p
[Galaxy Note II General] bluur:
Enjoy what u have, the update will come some day, till then just use ur note2 with 4.1.2 which isn't bad and be happy or go and buy s4 ;)
[Galaxy Note II General] amerkiller1995:
Good luck finding a comparable device. And are Huawei and LG really better in terms of updates? I doubt.
[Galaxy Note II General] BarryH_GEG:
And you think budget or Huawei phones are going to have 4.2? And that they'll receive updates faster than Samsung's high-end phones to whatever comes after 4.2? And what in 4.2 are you so hot to have that's going to change the way your N2 works on 4.1? There's some new features but none of them are more than eye candy. I think it's great that Samsung's dropped 4.2 and is focusing on 4.3. 4.2 was a buggy mess and if they rolled it out to the N2 it would only delay their work on 4.3 by months. So we'd be looking at at least six months for 4.3 and now going directly to it wer're probably looking at about three. HTC is still in the process of rolling out 4.2 to unlocked One's. When do you think they'll see 4.3? I'd bet Christmas.
[Galaxy Note II General] krazy_about_technology:
Personally, I am quite satisfied with the way Samsung is keeping its untold promise to keep their phones updated. Note 2 is getting its updates continuously at regular intervals to make it better and better. That shows company's commitment towards its customers. Android versions is a whole different story and I do not wait for those updates. If the version difference is so big like Gingerbread to Jellybean, or even ICS to Jellybean, then it makes sense to go all crazy over it. But moving from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 is not that big of a deal to me. I am much more interested in regular updates, that will eventually lead to version upgrades automatically.

I am more than satisfied with my Note 2 and quite satisfied with Samsung as an OEM.

[Galaxy Note II General] amerkiller1995:
Update: Seeing as how the kernel version and build date in the image are the same as those found on Android 4.1, then either the software is not finalized, or the build.prop has been tweaked to show a different Android version.

:(
[Galaxy Note II General] darkchazz:
Android 4.3 announced and nexus devices will receive the update today.

My predictions: SGS4 will get it in two or three weeks. S3 and Note 2 in two months minimum.

I will enjoy the update on my nexus 7 before it arrives on my note2, even though the Tegra3 is a slow piece of crap.
[Galaxy Note II General] danielthuy:
But Tegra 3 supports OpenGL ES 3.0 when our Note II doesn't support i :sadly:
[Galaxy Note II General] darkchazz:
No it doesn't...

Even if it did, it's so slow most of the current GLES2 games lag.
[Galaxy Note II General] cdlq456:
In what way can affect us that our gpu is not compatible with opengl es 3.0?

I dont mind if we miss better graphics because i almost never play 3d games

But google said that this new version of Android will be more fast and smooth. Will be missing this due to the incompatibility?
[Galaxy Note II General] danielthuy:
Sorry, my bad :p Just googled.

I thought the tegra 3's GPU was more powerful than ours and same as the Adreno 320 on Snapdragon S4 Pro.

P/s: I don't think that we can get 4.3 soon,at least, like Note 1, several months after the launch of Note 3.:(
[Galaxy Note II General] darkchazz:
It is completely the opposite actually.

Every single game on the play store runs better on our Note 2's Mali400 than the tegra 3 gpu.

In fact, even the tegra optimised titles run better on the note. For example, Riptide GP 1 and 2 both run at a buttery smooth 60fps on my Note2, whereas my N7 lags with 30fps.

Adreno 320 on the other hand, is on a completely different level :)

On topic: I really hope the update would come sooner. I would like to try the new touchwiz ui.
[Galaxy Note II General] intl:
Tegra 3 sucks on the LG Optimus 4X HD. The processor became very hot when I was browsing or when I sent some Whatsapp messages. When I played NFSMW, I had to set the processor from 4 cores to 1 core. On 4 cores NFSMW was unplayable with a lot of lags.
[Galaxy Note II General] warriorofice:
Very bad Samsung if this true that we will not have 4.2.2 the Note 2 will be only device that i´ve had that not have a change of version on her first year of life.
[Galaxy Note II General] mufaddalezzi:
Samsung are very poor in informing about updates..just look at Sony after 4.3 release they already gave out the names of the devices that are going to be updated to 4.3 and also other old models might get update from 4.1 directly to 4.3 and Samsung is just sitting quite giving his maid(SamMobile) fake rumors just fooling customers while also releasing bunch of different of S4's so that their sales go high(pretty dumb thing for me makes customers angry if you bought S4"i9500" and you realize more faster versions of S4 is being released:mad:)..I really don't get it.. Samsung had very high Q2 earnings with first position but damn Koreans are hungry for more they didn't get satisfied with the profit so they seize 4.2.2/4.3 update they want to earn in billions not millions..bl**dy Samsung it should be "Samsung world's biggest phone manufacture with world's poorest customer service" instead of "Samsung world's biggest phone manufacturer"

I have listed recent powerful mobiles that do not support OpenGL ES 3.0 so you get the clarity and no confusions :)

All mobiles that have been released before January 2013 did not support OpenGL ES 3.0 – they don’t have multiple instance support, compressed textures etc..

Samsung Galaxy SIII, SII, S and older mobiles of Samsung did not support OpenGL ES 3.0

Samsung Galaxy Note (GT-N7000) and Samsung Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100)

iPhone – 5 and lower versions did not support OpenGL ES 3.0; but it supports OpenGL ES 2.0. (iPhone 3 second Gen onwards (ie, iPhone 3 second gen, iPhone 4 and iPhone 5) OpenGL ES 2.0 support has been added).

All BlackBerries released before April 2013 did not support OpenGLES 3.0.

All window 7.5 Mobiles do not support OpenGL ES 3.0

Windows 8.0 Mobiles released before March 2013 did not support the same.

Well my trusty and beloved Skyrocket finally gave up the ghost due to a busted power button. I didn't want to return it again for another one as the call quality wasn't ever very good lots of people always complaining that they could not understand me. So I went and got me an HTC One. I quickly found out after getting it that it didn't come with an SD Card slot.............ARGHHHHH! And I also cannot use an extra battery which I always carried with me on the Rocket. This phone seems to be much better behaved battery wise after a day of using it but I will reserve judgement until I fully charge it and use it for a day. I am going to use all day tomorrow and see how I like it and if it doesn't measure up (probably won't) I am returning it for a GS4 or maybe wait for the GS4 Active if I have time???

[HTC Sensation] Hamoonfarsa:
Hi. I have been using my sensation xe for a year and a half and now I want to sell it. I wanted to install custom roms so I s-offed, rooted, installed custom recovery, changed cid and every thing and i've been using viper and cm10.1roms. But now that I want to sell it I thought that it was better that I go back to stock rom. I only had android 2.3.4 version ruu. So I extracted rom.zip from it. First I installed 1.73 firmware then I renamed rom.zip to pg58img.zip and flashed it from bootloader. I couldnt change cid back because adb tools didnt recognize the phone. Now the phone boots and works, but it reboots every 5minutes. The phone gave a notification for software update and I managed to download it but when it finished download, it gave a message that if i want to istall update now or later and rebooted to install update from recovery. But it rebooted in the middle of installation and went back to 2.3.4 version and reboots are still happening. What can I do? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

SuperCID is not related to the ROM android version, it only makes all basebands (if I'm not wrong) possible to be installed.

The significant thing is the firmware and the hboot, so, yes, you must get those back.

Flash a gingerbread RUU.

Btw i have downloaded QuickPick from Google store and the thumbnails are clear.I don't understand this..:(
[Galaxy S III General] krs360:
Use a file explorer that can show hidden files, then go to sdcard/DCIM/ and delete the .thumbnails folder... reboot, then open the gallery - the thumbnails will then all be rebuilt. Might take a while depending on how many photos you have.

Then see if they're still blurry!
