[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] safeplayer22:
I was thinking about getting the Note 4. But I just rooted my phone (finally) and flashed the DN5V2 on it from the at&t note 2 section and it's like having the note 3/s5 now. Battery life is significantly better after flashing the agni kernel.

Back then the only reason i've kept the phone unrooted was to keep wifi-calling. But now that I can make calls using hangouts, I don't need that feature anymore. So I can flash any rom I want. Plus once the Note 4 comes out, I'm sure someone will port the it for us, if not for the at&t note 2 and then BOOM...we have a new phone (sort of)...lol...The only problem I find is that the hardware of this phone is beginning to show as more and more features are packed into these roms. I'm sure I can OC it.

Edit: I don't have any of the t-mobile bloatware on my phone! So who needs to wait for their updates?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
The Note 2 is still a considerable device. There is not much to look down on about it. T-Mo needs to get their booty moving on 4.4.x out for the device. I am worried that they will abandon the Note 2. If they release 4.4.x and it includes VoLTE and Wi-Fi calling, a lot of people will be very content to keep their money and stick with their Note 2s which would cut into their device sales.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
I don't know about the modem hardware or software though. I hope an update comes soon. My brother has an LG smartphone and in places where I get no bars, he gets at least two bars. It was much more inexpensive to boot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Samsung radio hardware can be average. For reception I see Motorola as a solid option. Dunno much about LG. I think "cheapo Goldstar microwaves" when I think LG (unfairly I am sure).

Galaxy Mega 6.3" on T-Mobile got update to 4.4.4

T-Mobile doesnt even sells Galaxy Mega 6.3" or when did they started? i know metroPCS does...

http://www.sammobile.com/2014/10/14...s-android-4-4-4-update-on-t-mobile-sgh-m819n/

Anyway.. makes me think we are getting closer to the update for the Note II... so much more popular and better phone than the Mega... we can not be left out now after 4.4.4 for that brick got pushed...

i would love a 4.4.4 with VoLTE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erica_renee:
I still think you are Looking at this like a Consumer. The mega was a cheaper device. They may have sold many of them. But its a Cheaper device with way less function. Galaxy note users are Usually professionals who are Dedicated to the NOTE LINE of phone and Tablets. In my Opinion T-mobile is looking at it like. If they want to run the apps that will only run on the newer version of Android they WILL BUY A NEWER Piece of hardware . To get the new S-Note apps. This is also why Samsung is only updated the base Rom... not the all the apps on the older note products. Its there way of pushing you to buy A Newer device earlier then you Should. I am soo fed up with this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] brian117:
There's some new updated information on the Note 2 getting 4.4.

[IMG="note24.4"]http://www.tmonews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/samsung_android_444_update_roadmap_xda_leak.jpg[/IMG]

http://www.tmonews.com/2014/10/android-4-4-4-kitkat-update-schedules-leaked-in-samsung-roadmap/

It's currently at "Pending" with an ETA of November now. Can this really be trusted? I have no idea. Just thought I'd share this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hristopelov:
it is not the T-Mobile model....

i just hope on the old 4.4.2 ROM to be released at this point...

hope they
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] brian117:
No, but it will soon be released on the US carrier models after the international version.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hristopelov:
I see what you mean...

Realy hope so
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hodgestl:
What does that mean? Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T have already updated their Note 2's to KitKat 4.4.2. I don't understand what you are saying. The Samsung chart relates to 4.4.4 and only mentions the international version of the Note 2. Since T-Mobile has not even bothered to update us to 4.4.2, are you saying that they will finally come around and give us 4.4.4? I sure hope you are right, but I am convinced that this delay is all T-Mo and not Samsung. I guess we will see!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] brian117:
It's very possible T-Mobile will release 4.4.4. I just posted that image to show that the Note 2 (international) is still in line to be updated to 4.4.4 which means the update should be rolling out for carriers after.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hristopelov:
Not realy...

the international version, and the american versions of the Note are 2 absolutely diferwnd phones... Diferent processors, chipsets, Bands support...

They need separate 4.4.4 ROMs... the international version of the 4.4.4 will NOT work on our phone... they will NOT give that ROM to carriers to make update...

Is like trying to use a ROM from Note 2 on to Note 3...

Not to be a downer, but is not a signt we r gettin 4.4.4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
Don't give up hope. I remember the LG G2x and how it never got updated. The phone was a brick and specs were outdated, then an update came. An update might eventually come, but I have noticed the hardware for the t889 being a bit slow lately. For comparison, I am using the Tab S 10.5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hristopelov:
i know there will be an update, because all other carriers updater there Notes 2 to 4.4.2

its T-Mobiles fault that isnt out yet, they have the ROM, dunno what they doing, hope testing VoLTE..

all im saying is that that Samsung list of devices to be updated to 4.4.4 that shows international version getting it, does NOT mean even slightly that any of the US models ever will...

thats all, ill be perfectly happy w 4.4.2

hardware, yea, is probably a bit slow.. but just a bit... if we get VoLTE, itll be very very good device, and 99% of the people could keep it for another year...

i like the Note 4, the build is soo good, finaly they made it look and feel premium.. but it cost $900..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] brian117:
All I was basically referring to is that the Note 2, international variant or not, is receiving the 4.4.4 update in November according to that image. So it's not completely abandoned by Samsung for updates. They obviously plan on keeping the device updated and once that happens I'm sure they'll send the firmware over to T-Mobile and possibly other carriers to release. Just because other carriers updated their Note 2 to 4.4.2 doesn't mean 4.4.4 is obsolete from ever being released. :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hristopelov:
when you put it like that... yes.. a big MYBE..

i do NOT realy care about what kind a flavor 4.4 we could get if any... in my opinion the phone is working just fine..

what I care for is the new updated Modem, Radio.. GPS that comes with new ROMs, which would translate into better singnal/reception.. faster GPS lock.. better battery... mybe possibly hopefully VoLTE...

thats why i say dont care bout 4.4.4... just give us 4.4.2 as soon as possible..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] erica_renee:
the big issue is S- NOTE Running in each of my devices is a Different Version. THIS IS A Huge failure on Samsung part... They have mad a mess out of our ability to you the Premium features of our devices . This is Directly to trying to force us into new DEVICES.. ad well as there will be soon Software to run on newer os that we will NOT be able to run. this is due to ART
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] apicia:
If I am correct, we are the only Note 2 that came with the 42Mbps modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Some_dude36:
yessir . I got a bum device with intermittent wifi but thats samsung junk hardware quality as the problem has manifested across all roms stock or rooted and this will be my last samsung device. But the rom itself works fine and all features
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] scariola:
So long and bon voyage. I had a bum iphone once too. Der de Der.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hristopelov:
i love Samsung... i had all kinda Android smartphones...

for me, samsung is the best :) i love TouchWiz too..

Anyone else get an update today? I was surprised to see there was a Samsung update waiting for me this morning. It turned out to be security policy updates. Talk about a buzz kill...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Poriotis:
Nothing here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolchris305:
Couldn't take it anymore...I upgraded to note 4...selling my note 2 now
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hristopelov:
the Note 4 is awesome.. great build quality, since you had the money, and the Note II is 2 years old already.. is good time for upgrade..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] srjvargas:
Well, after a couple of months not reviewing for any updates I checked today in sammobile AND....still nothing ¬¬

I prefer an official update because I like stock ROMS but I think I will update to a Kitkat ROM, maybe Cyanogen. :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] hristopelov:
i now think at this time that there is a great chance for 5.0 update to be rolled for us... otherwise it doesnt make sence that is been so long, is been a year sonce last update...

Moto G got 5.0 already, i read somewhere that 5.0 could be used in real low end phones as OS...

I realy hope we get that now instead 4.4 even if it takes couple months more..

i know, i know.. month here month there.. is long time, but i dont realy want to buy new phone this year, i want to wait for the Snapdragon 810 phones next year.. starting with Galaxy S6.. thay would be beast phones, a lot faster procesor and 30% better GPU (build on 20mn tech) than Snapdragon 805 which is now in N4 and Nexus 6, plus they say will use DDR4 RAM instead DDR3 and possible 4GB of it instead 3GB now...

if that happens in spring itll make Note 4 and Nexus 6 obsolete in just 4-5 months from now...

Not a good time to buy a phone IMO
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] oldmoney:
I hope so. i hope that this phone is not totally abandoned by t mobile but yet i remember the same thing what they said about kitkat that it will be compatible with older phones and older phones will get it but then totally forgotten.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Android 5 for Note 2 is most likely to be rolled out only after Note3/4, S5/4 get them which means wait for another 2-3 months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] planetbeen:
This is depressing. I see no reason why they'd give us 5. Everyone else and their brother already got 4.4. They probably will put 5.0 on note 2. Every single note 2 but T-Mobile.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] KingP1n:
Is this good news? 4.4.4 rolling out by end of month

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] coolchris305:
All we gotta do is wait...which I'm glad I did...Note 3 didn't feel much of an upgrade...so this will hold till note 4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Squilchi:
I want to hop on the note 4 as well. I hope Samsung isnt planning on releasing multi sided display on it. Id rather see it first on a non flagship device personally
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] OvrDriVE:
waiting on the note 4 as well. will have to see how the 4 looks though before jumping ship
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] drpudding:
damn still no official kitkat. I WANT THE NEW RADIO DAMNIT!! :eek: why does it always take so long for updates :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] brian117:
No idea. Pretty surprised to be honest. According to recent news articles the 4.4 update has been released in France, and now (recently) India for the international GT-N7100 variants. So the update does seem to keep rolling out...but slowly. A possible reason for the delay might be they are releasing the 4.4.3 update which fixes the camera battery drain bug and various other fixes. But who knows. It's unlikely.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] drpudding:
oh i didn't know there was a 4.4.3 already. But that seems like a good enough reason to be :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
There is now a TW KitKat Firmware released thats compatible with our T889. Its available for the N7105.. waiting patiently for a new rom to flash! :D

Downloaded, flashed on 4.1.2 bootloader. So far everything looks fine.

Wifi, Phone, Camera, Bluetooth working fine... still testing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
Share! Lol

Is this the firmware or one thats been ran through a kitchen?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Sure,

As of now testing for issues, for some reason root did not work for me and I had to flash CFroot via ODIN to get it back.

Need more testing, 4.4 structure is different so maybe I am missing something.

I simply extracted the tar,md5 file then extracted the system image, manually injected root, removed Knox, few Yahoo apps and then placed it in Kitchen working folder. The only reason I used Kitchen is to zipalign and sign the file and that too coz I am just being lazy to do it manually. I used my own updater script.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
Link? You can pm it to me ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Another built is almost ready, In any case, I will upload it for you. If root does not work just flash CF_autoroot via odin.

Uploading @ 79% now, I will post the link here once it's uploaded. It's a zip file and it can be flashed via CWM/TWRP or Mobile ODIN.

For now, I will send you the link via PM, as I do not want new users to mess-up their phone accidentally.

Since my phone is still on 4.1.2 bootloader, I could not test this on 4.3 bootloader.

I still had to manually root using CF auto root. I can look in to it over the weekend.

For this build, I did not use Android Kitchen.

Please note, I could not test it completely as I am tied up with some other stuff, but if you want to just check how 4.4.2 touchwiz looks like on our phone you can try this. I am sure our dev's will post a 4.4.2 touchwiz ROM soon, I know that Mattlowry was downloading this file earlier. :good:

Use cf auto root in odin

Use odin to flash twrp

Boot into twrp and flash supersu

Now su will FC on me..

I downloaded busybox dont install yet

Then download super user (the one from aosp roms) from play store and open it

Now go back and try to open the regular su. Once it opens..then install busybox

Im using dr. Ketans patched boot loader from 4.3 and the wifi works on 4.4 for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] drpudding:
you're going to need a 4.3 bootloader. use dr ketan's or get the bootloader from our official firmware for our variant and it should work.

from the consensus i'm getting there's still some issues on 4.4 for those that don't have the 4.3 bootloader. waiting till 4.4 is out for our devices. most likely will go to 4.4.3 if anything

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
Flash CFROOT via PC ODIN, then after reboot, uninstall SuperSU and then reboot.

SuperSu should be back, I know it sounds strange but it worked for me just by doing that.

The ROM I uploaded is pre-rooted but I think permissions for some files are incorrect which is why SuperSU is not working and you have to flash it manually. If I get some time in the next few days, I will verify the file permissions, fix them and then create a flashable zip, or maybe eZdubzitmk4 will upload before I do ;).

The one is uploaded is very stock 4.4.2 (N7105) pre-rooted ROM, KitKat is a bit different which is why root is not working out of the box. I have been running this ROM on my phone from last two days and so far everything is working fine.

My wife just had a Note2 TMO T889 handed to her for free, (we are both on note3) here is my question for you guys, also notice not much development here, I noticed that the international 7100 and 7105 have the 4.4.2 already, before I build this rom for this device, has anyone successfully booted any rom from those 2 devices? If so, I will get us a rom rolling here...any info appreciated.....

I have built MK7 already no prob. We need 4.4.2 here......:good::good:

EDIT: also, does anyone have a 4.4.2 kernel they have got working on the T889, even if it came from a test leak?

Just trying to get kick started, VisionX will have a 4.4.2 rom here soon!

Help me help you...:):)

What kernel are you using? Can you point me to it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ciphercodes:
N7105 ROMS work on SGH-T889 the only thing to make note is to not use the N7105 modem. There are many users here running N7105 ROMS on their SGH-T889 phones. The kernel that came along with N7105 4.4.2 works just fine on SGH-T889.
