samsung are too busy releasing bunch of other different low end tablets with kitkat.... takes them forever to update their devices im sick of it, devs in forums have fully working 4.4.2 builds and samsung just cant do it on time whats the deal???
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
It's really very simple. All new Samsung models ship with the current OS. At least that's how it has been in recent history. All Samsung models that are slated to get updated to KK, will be updated to KK eventually. What a lot of people fail to understand is that Samsung devices are not Apple devices. You have different screen sizes, different chipsets, different resolutions, and even pen input on certain devices. The Note 8 is significantly different from the Galaxy S4, whereas the iPad Mini Retina is not all that different from the iPhone 5S. All of this means that every tablet needs to have a ROM written and optimized specifically for it.

As far as devs having their own ROMs, that argument is non sequitur. Samsung provides warranty for their product and their ROMs are tested to provide as perfect of an experience as possible. That is what is expected of them after all. Third party ROMs are provided with no guarantee or expectation of performance/reliability of any kind. Do you really want Samsung to throw together a ROM in the same way that our devs do, and leave the actual testing and bug reports to the end users? Are we paying money to be Samsung's beta testers?

And most importantly, due to the way Google is doing things, the actual version number matters less than in the past. Google updates all of their core apps and services irrespective of the actual ROM version that your device is running. Think about it, is there any difference between youtube, Gmail, play store, etc between ICS and KK? Unless you have an actual problem that you are hoping Samsung will fix with an update, I promise you that the official KK ROM will bring you absolutely nothing, just like with the Galaxy S4. It's really time for people to stop whining about the version number and just enjoy the tablet that I am 100% sure is not giving you any significant issues. And really, you all know how Android updates work, and I am sure you knew it going in. If not, you didn't do your homework. If having the latest version number is something that is paramount to you, you need a Nexus device or an Apple device. But good luck finding one with a digitizer, which I am assuming is the reason you bought the Note.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] BobDunn:
Wonderfully articulated. All device threads should start with this!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] yeeahnick:
well writen but here is why I want kitkat.

I want the Bluetooth fixes along with less memory usage and better performance. Also couple new features with localisation. Security is important to me so having the most up to date version is a must since they always include these types of fixes.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Spidey01:
Samsung also has a strong tendency to ship the devices with the new OS and THEN update existing products in a queue.

I.e. typically a Galaxy Note 3 will not get Android 4.5 until a while after the Galaxy Note 4 has shipped with it. Incentive to buy new version ;).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bigtexan99:
I just want the update so that the menus and screens look the same on my Note as they do on my Galaxy S class.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ProjectER:
kitkat? will this really help the note 8?

Forums and articles for the note 3 and s4 have similar issues with KITKAT. The restricted write access to the external SD card using 3rd party apps. Great file explorers will find it difficult to copy/paste files or transfer files from the local network to your external SD card. ES file manager already has a fix but it only works for samsung devices and it's not always reliable. Some say you can't delete. Others say you can't rename a file, just copy paste. Document editors will have a hard time saving or editing your old documents. For example, you can select a file with ES file manager and open it with KINGSOFT but you won't necessarily be able to edit the same file unless you save the new file in a private folder designated for kingsoft alone (cuz they're both 3rd party apps). This results in redundant or duplicate files in both apps! Is this iOS all over again where pdf files have duplicate copies for each reader/app you have installed? It adds security yes but there could have been better ways to implement this according to other forums without limiting the functionality of the external sd card. There are sd card fixes but they all require root. So do we really want or need a kitkat upate for our note 8?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
I know how to fix the SD card issue, which requires root (need to update one of xml file in system folder). There's also couple of sd card fix apps available in play store too.

Only issue would be, once we get Official 4.4.2 to our Note 8, rooting the device. As far as I know, checking the all samsung devices that on 4.4.2, there's no root method yet. That's the problem. But I am optimistic about XDA developers.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pakure:
I have the leaked Samsung touch wiz 4.4.2 kit kat rom..On my note 2 by the e team...ditto note 3 DN3 rom......There is an sd card fix for kit kat...No issues using the sd card, but yes...Would need rooting your phone or tablet to make it work...This is all Google fault,...which is moving towards cloud,....Samsung should fix it like it gave apps to sd option from 4.2.2

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Mattix724:
I'm not sure how much that helps the progress on our device since we have different processors. I'm sure Samsung is making progress and we'll see the update soon but until we see Kit Kat released for another device that uses the same processor I wouldn't get your hopes up.

I'm stuck on the stock 4.2.2 update because I currently don't have access to a PC to root and rom this thing. Next week after I ship back home I'll check out the AOSP development for this device.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Mattix724:
Well I can't use Mobile Odin until I have root access. 4.2.2 patched the exploit that Framaroot utilized to inject SuperSU and the su binary. I'll be going home in a few days and I'll have access to my computer at which point I can root and rom my Note 8.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Fadil56:
No news for 4.4.2 ??? kitkat ???
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Shofar1:
Why update!`

I recently updated my Note 3 and the experience is less than exciting.

I don't see anything that works better and there are some things that work worse.

I use Docs to Go and under 4.2/4.3 you can have your docs on the external SD card.

With 4.4 you cannot.

In some ways it is not a biggie but it is a step down not up from 4.2

I think this passion/lust for the latest upgrade is detrimental to our health.

Shofar
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Stillness:
Root

:o Oh! I forgot that. That's a symptom of long term use of a rooted device, it becomes so normal. If already have a custom recovery like the PhilZ touch (I guess you don't), you can inject su binary from the recovery and then upon booting can/must install SuperSU.

BTW, I don't know why people worry about Samsung KitKat when there are good custom roms with better features and flexibility. This waiting must be very suffering. :fingers-crossed:

:)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Mattix724:
I think there might be a zip somewhere here on XDA that I can flash with the stock recovery to inject root but I forget where to find it and I don't want to risk soft bricking the device. Friday is only a few days away.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Yes, this was introduced as part of Android 4.4, not sure why exactly. If you have a rooted device, it's a very easy fix. The app is NextApp SDFix, in the play store. Otherwise, as you said, besides a version bump, KK brings nothing to the table.

And no new Snote in 4.4.2. Not on official Note2, not on leaked Note10.1 2012.!

While I understand Samsung not introducing same set of features in old models, to promote selling new ones, I Do NOT understand the lack of upgrade of an already included application, keeping it in sync along full Galaxy Note range of devices as long as hadware and OS version allows!

So I should have known when AT&T was giving the Note 8 away with the purchase of an S4 that they weren't going to support it. Will we ever see 4.4.2 KitKat on this thing?

Are there any good Custom ROM for the AT&T LTE model? I would love to root this and customize it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] esoh:
Nothing. We don't even have a method to unlock bootloader. All we have is root, and even that took awhile. I have zero hope that we'll see anything other than official 4.4.2, but at this point I'm even skeptical of that.

how compatible is 4.4.2 from Note 10.1 leaked for Note 8

It is my question. Both devices have similar hw spec. Is it a question of developers just changing some record indicating device or is it more complex?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Calm down children. The information clearly states "update status report (phase 4)." That means that our tablet (and any other tablet) is not included in phase 4 of their update cycle. Makes sense, considering that this update has already pushed to some devices a long time ago. The 2014 Note 10.1 is also not on that list, yet I believe an update for that device has leaked. Samsung is updating phones first, that's all.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
You are right! Not just latest the 2014 note 10.1 one, but there's 4.4.2 official Samsung test firmware leak for old Note 10.1 as well - check Note 10.1 XDA forum

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Mattix724:
You're basing your judgment of Kit Kat on leaks and AOSP builds for devices that the code was not written for. The difference between our open source developer community and a manufacturer, the development community will release a build before every bug has been squashed whereas Samsung will continue to work on the code until they feel it is worthy of being released to the consumer.

There will be no problem accessing your external memory on an official 4.4.2 Kit Kat release from Samsung. It is up to the application developers to fix the external memory issue within the code in the app they are publishing, Google should be pushing these developers to incorporate the fix or start removing their apps from the Play store.
