[Galaxy Note II General] oiwnos:
For me it's not better. I don't want a service that doesn't make any difference and it's not even available in 80 % of many country`s area (outside of big cities) , lose a service that is available everywhere ( fm) and gives you a window to the world even without a SIM card or data plan . And pay 100 euros more for that loss. It's no wonder that people chose 3g, so the community makes Roms for the phone most use
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
It's better. So is DC-HSDPA. DC-HSDPA alone negates your assertion that it "doesn't make any difference at all."

My network (Three) will also offer UNLIMITED 4G internet from December onwards at no extra cost. I pay £12.90 a month on a 1 month rolling contract and will continue to pay that after December too with the added benefit of 4G internet.

DC-HSDPA + 4G over FM Radio? Yes please.

The reason the community "chose" 3G over a superior and more future-proof LTE version is because that's all that was available at the time. You trying to justify a 3G only phone which doesn't even have DC-HSDPA 3G speeds as better than an LTE version is only because that is the one that you own.. And I doubt many people believe you.

[Galaxy Note II General] NEDSTER1972:
I agree the Lte is a better phone but I chose the 3g option as I couldnt justify paying an extra £30 a month for 4g I get unlimited 3g for less than i would have to pay for 1gb of 4g. Shocking tariffs for 4g.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
If you don't like the ROM situation with the N7105, do something about it instead of expecting others to do it for you. Devs generally do ROMs for a device they own, but given the rather limited coverage for LTE worldwide, I doubt many live in an area that can get it.

You'll have to either be patient, or make your own ROMs.
[Galaxy Note II General] Hjellvik:
Yeah. I want to flash the note 3 features on my N7105.. i need a 4.3 update for my phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] EmptyArea:
When it was released the only sensible option was PAYG, which made it less than £5 pcm more. After a few weeks a free unlock method was found and on to 3 I went. Shame I got shocking speeds at work, had to leave them, now I'm with giffgaff and loving DC+; I'll think about LTE from someone after Xmas.

If I'd bought a note 2 with without DC+ & lte I'd have feabay'd it before the note 3 was released.
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
Three will be rolling 4G out soon, at no extra cost. As far as I'm aware it uses a lower frequency (1900 and 800mhz) rather than the 2100mhz it uses now.

This should theoretically allow for better building penetration and hopefully improve your signal at work. I was also on Giffgaff up until a few months ago as Three was only 90p more a month for a 1 month rolling contract (also with unlimited net).

Maybe test it out with a pay and go sim once 4G rolls out.

---------- Post added at 01:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 AM ----------

Give it a rest.

I don't expect anything. I can't even and haven't used a custom rom because a certain app I need does not allow custom ROMs or kernels, even though I can get away with toggling root on and off with a stock ROM. So I have no choice in the matter of custom ROMs.

I was merely pointing out that it's a massive shame the better device has much less development, irrespective of whether you think I should "get off my ass and do it myself.". I was responding to an earlier comment in regards to the concerns another user had with the LTE version.

Me? I couldn't care less as it doesn't change anything for me. All I'm waiting for is a 4.3 stock ROM.

---------- Post added at 01:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:36 AM ----------

I agree with that. I ended up buying it off contract.

Hopefully Three UK will shake the market up with their ridiculously low priced tariffs.
[Galaxy Note II General] RONAKGUNE:
Maybe in a couple of weeks.

keep an eye on sammobile they are the ones who'll give the news first.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
Tell that to the idiots constantly asking when it's out. Personally, I don't actually care. I won't be installing it as I'm not having Knox on my device.

I'll wait for a stable 4.4 custom ROM instead. Samsung have taken one too many liberties now with that Knox crap. They don't get to decide to lock down my device without asking me!
[Galaxy Note II General] eggshaped:
According to Sammobile the update for the S3 isn't going well, people are saying it's terrible with lags and force closes. According to one person (who doesn't cite where their info came from) the update has been pulled due to the problems everyone's having. It will be delayed until these bugs have been smoothed out so if this is true it means an even longer wait for our Note 2 :(
[Galaxy Note II General] Bert.C:
The info about the S3 update being pulled is actually on sammobile my friend. It also states that the N2 is probably going to be delayed maybe indefinitely.
[Galaxy Note II General] eggshaped:
Thanks for the info. :)

At least we've got some great 4.3 rom devs out there.
[Galaxy Note II General] cpm:
The S3 update was actually released in Ireland by Vodafone. People are complaining about umpteen issues including slowness, excessive battery drain, unable to answer calls, and freezing requiring battery pulls. They're really not happy campers.

[Galaxy Note II General] raysar:
I hope i will be fast.

Il don't understand why it was so low, when we see incredible mod developper here :D

They create rom faster than samsung :D
[Galaxy Note II General] matttheman:
Same here. Super fast. I can't wait for the new features and kernels. Gonna be awesome! :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Bruce lee roy:
Probably has something to do with them trying to simultaneously dirty flash millions of devices ota.
[Galaxy Note II General] xpress7:
Yes dirty flash is one of the reason for the fc problems. When we flash a new custom rom, usually our Developers instruct us to full wipe. But that's not the case with OTA. :)

And also all our Custom roms have a warning statement. "We Are Not Responsible If Any Damage Happen To Your Device " ;)

But when samsung issues a OTA they are responsible for every problem. They have to provide service for every problem that arises from OTA update. So they test a lot before releasing an update. Thats why it will take some time to release an OTA update. My opinion :P
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
That's because you don't understand that a large corporation and a single enthusiast dev are not one and the same. Companies cannot afford to chuck out a ROM and let the users do the testing, it has to -work-.

When it doesn't, it can potentially cost them millions. You can bet someone is in deep crapola at Samsung right now for the S3 4.3 problems.
[Galaxy Note II General] raysar:
I understant that it was complex for samsung.

But touchwizz developpers, have many devices very similar (all galaxy phones)

The big difficult is about bug and specials problems?

I thinks that is very long for minors evolutions of android version :/

Maybe a day they can propose special update for fullwipe install, faster than the classic rom.

I read that google want to put more system apps in google play and simplify system update for android.
[Galaxy Note II General] Bhupen Gaitonde:
Dear all,

Check this link mentioning the problems in the s3 4.3 update. This can happen to note 2 too.

[Galaxy Note II General] Tombias:
In the meanwhile we can use the custom 4.3 leaked very stable roms and wait for 4.4, I guess. No problem for me, btw.
[Galaxy Note II General] Bhupen Gaitonde:
Very true..

Samsung is going nowhere.. I think thwy should shut down their software dept..

Why dont they learn something from google..
[Galaxy Note II General] intl:
I don't expect 4.4 soon.

Samsung will delay 4.4 till Note 4 will be released :thumbdown:
[Galaxy Note II General] EP2008:
You know, they skipped 4.2 in order to get us 4.3, so let's not wait any more any just get 4.3. If we waited for 4.4 now, it would still take 6 months to land on our devices. These aren't Nexus devices, so we shouldn't expect bleeding edge updates.
[Galaxy Note II General] intl:
4.3 for the Note 2 will be avaialable in the middle of December in the Netherlands. This is an official message from Samsung Netherlands.

Hey devs..

I need an honest opinion.

What do you all think about cyanogen mod for note 2 that can be installed via cyanogen mod installer directly without root.

Any takers?

[Galaxy Note II General] tweeny80:
I'm not a developer of any kind, so excuse my status which contravenes your set criteria - but CM has plainly gone corporate versus their historical stance. Their open source position is compromised by their incorporation & partnership with for-profit companies e.g. Oppo China.

I've latched on to OMNI ROM. I think itis set to fill the void created by CM's departure from truly open source behaviour.

To address your post Bhupen, I have no interest in CM installer, instead I'm monitoring Omni's progress with interest. Anyone interested should read up on [MENTION=2178960]pulser_g2[/MENTION] and his (ex) involvement with CM and (new) involvement with Omni.
[Galaxy Note II General] barrygoddard:
I've been very patient - but running such an outdated version of Android is just plain frustrating now.

We did buy the latest greatest device - we were your favorites at one point Samsung!

Pfft.
[Galaxy Note II General] Bhupen Gaitonde:
I whole heartedly agree with u..

Samsung has lost it.. in all respect.
[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
Sorry but Jellybean is not old or outdated, there are a LOT of phones that are still on Gingerbread and people use it. Just because you have mentality that anything older than 1 day is outdated doesn;t mean you're right. If you exist to serve your phone, than it's your problem. Most of the people have phones to serve them, and don't care that much about point-o-o-something versions. There are NO major differences between Jellybean versions, they're all pretty much the same, even KitKat is the same, just got it on my N7 and there are no differences between KK and JB... not faster, looks the same... So if you really have no life and care that much for SUTPID updates for some unimportant device, then get a Nexus and you'll be receiving updates as they appear.

Hi, can you pls explain me why is Knox so bad? What we losing if we install Knox?

Sent from Mars
[Galaxy Note II General] barrygoddard:
It is outdated. It is slower than 4.3 (and 4.4). It is important to be on the latest version if your handset is capable.

If you are happy on an inferior OS version then that's great, but it doesn't make me wrong for wanting better.

I've used official ROMs higher than 4.1.1 and the difference is massive. If you can't see that, then I would love to be you on 4.1.1 and happy.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
The ability to EVER install a custom rom, or root your device, if you ever want to use your warranty again.

Try doing some reading up on the thing. It's primarily designed for corporate use and has very little point for your average consumer. For people like those on here who like to customize their devices, it's little more than the devil in disguise!
[Galaxy Note II General] ivanbg87:
I was reading about Knox but my bad is bcs i was reading on Samsung site. Off course, they don't want to tell you everything. Thanks for your answer, I'm really appreciate that. I was waiting for 4.3 and didn't want to root and install custom ROM until we get update, but now, last thing i want to install is something that will block me for anything and warranty is not small thing. Thanks again.

[Galaxy Note II General] testrider:
Actually Knox has more. I already read as much as I could on it but there are only so much available.

Knox provides a secure container where we run our secure apps and store our data. No other app

can get into it to get our data and ship them 'home'.

for example, if you ever wonder, when you were using your banking or login or browsing

the web on your phone , how do you know there wasn't an app sitting in the background sucking up your personal

data and ships them 'home' (somebody else's 'home')? Yes, I wonder it all the time and I use xprivacy

(but there are limits).

With knox, if you do all your banking or web browsing in that secure container, you can be

absolutely sure that nobody can suck up your personal data stored in there.

that's my understanding. There are more, of course.

I don't know how these are stable, because none of the roms I tried based on those leaked versions were stable. I experienced slowness with some of them, and force closes with pthers...And other minor issues. So no, they're not as stable as an official release should be.

http://www.gsmarena.com/android_43_update_for_samsung_galaxy_note_ii_lte_r olling_out-

During the weekend an Android 4.3 update for the Samsung N7100 Galaxy Note II (the non-LTE version) leaked, but it wasn’t compatible with the N7105 (the LTE version). That doesn’t matter anymore as Samsung is rolling out the official update for both.

The update is reportedly more stable than the problematic 4.3 update for the Galaxy S III, which along with the Note II launched with Android 4.1.2 last year. Samsung decided to skip 4.2 and go straight to 4.3.

Anyway, the update is rolling out in stages, so don't worry if you don't get it immediately.

You can use Samsung Kies on the PC or just check for updates on the Galaxy Note II itself through the About section of the settings menu.

Here's a changelog of the new features, which also includes support for the Galaxy Gear smartwatch.

TRIM support

OpenGL 3.0 Support

ANT+ Support

Samsung KNOX Implementation (KNOX bootloader and dedicated application)

Samsung Wallet comes pre-loaded

New GPU drivers

Improved RAM management

Improved Display colour reproduction (Display looks much sharper than before)

Improved TouchWiz Launcher (Much less launcher redraws and less lag)

New Samsung Keyboard

New Samsung Browser (Full screen by default, new tab interface and more) and other apps

New Reading Mode (Optimises display for reading, used by only a few specific applications)

New Camera firmware, Sound & shot

Minor UI tweaks (Contacts app, Flashlight Widget, dialog boxes etc)

Android 4.3 features – widget lockscreen, daydream

Soooo, what are our options now that Sammobile (and some carriers) have released 4.3 firmwares? For example, my N7105 is with Vodafone Australia but I'm not holding my breath for Vodafone to roll out the update anytime soon. Can I install one of the other countries/carriers 4.3 versions that are available on Sammobile and then just flash the Vodafone modem/csc over the top of this? Or do I have to wait for Vodafone to release a csc/modem that works on 4.3?
