Lol mine is still on 4.4.4 and I asked some guys and I heard that mine will stay on 4.4.4 forever (it didn't get any update, it's on special CSC which is not available from sammobile). I cant root it or change firmware but I can deal with it just because I got it completely for free ;)

Guys Samsung is best with software updates... Look at HTC. Did One X got lollipop? No. Did One X got kitkat? No. Did One X got 4.3? No. So what do you expect??? You don't like it? Okay move on. You should kiss Samsung's ass for kitkat which was a great update...

Are you feeling well?
[Galaxy Note II General] Minto107:
Yes ;) I know that Samsung promised this upd and even sammobile lied us but its ok. At least Note 2 has a good final firmware. And I use more my Lenovo tablet that is getting lollipop next month and its true because of leaks. Here we had just 1 screenshot leaked for all of those months... Even I haven't seen it.

Near 4 years I have Note 2....And thanks to XDA I don't miss anything. Always repeat we use a very best device.... and with the last 4.4.4 from Arter97, kernel Agni purestok and roms like....NEMESIS...ECLIPSE we have a note 4 now. De bloated and very very fast and smooth. Successor of this phone? Note 5? No!!!...Now with a external charger and 2 battery i have much better than a fast recharge. Note 4? Yes and not cos I already have all the feature now of 4 ....And if I buy is only cos there are XDA Devs like Ketan. Finaly I wait for 2016....and look for a Asus (CHEAP) or for others. I can say thanks to Sammy only for this device....For another without removal battery, external sd....and the right update for a top device not. Rgrd

I don't know if I am being too optimistic regarding our Note 2, but Samsung just released Lollipop (5.0.2) to Grand prime. It's a mid range phone yet, it saw the update.

Odds are still too thin, but a ray of hope.. finger's crossed

[Galaxy Note II General] Minto107:
Yeah I don't care anymore about LP update. Just waiting for one on my tablet and 64bit support for my Tab S8. I'll sell my S3 ASAP and probably get the S5(S4 wont be updated much longer too, I dont expect 6.0 for it)
[Galaxy Note II General] LoVeRice:
Yes lets pray and dont lose hope
[Galaxy Note II General] note2nooby:
Okay just look at google,search grand prime 5.0.2.

The first preview was back in may,it was leaked firmware also....for the note 2 there is nothing but confirmation from some websites,even sammobile.

Im not loosing hope neither,just trying to be logical.
[Galaxy Note II General] DogAlyx:
Note 2 Lollipop it is a joke?

Samsung won't update Note 2 to Lollipop, because there are too many devices.:rolleyes:

Note 3 get only 5.0, when S4 get 5.0.1. S5 updates to 5.1.1. Even Grand Prime get 5.1.1!:confused:

S3 stopped on 4.3, Note 2 will stopped on 4.4.2.:crying:

Rejoice 4.4.4 port to S3 and Note 2. And rejoice CM12.1!;)
[Galaxy Note II General] Minto107:
S5 will move forward to 6.0 I'm pretty sure. S3 has 4.4(some variants) even newer than Note 2(and snappier) but we can wait for promised update for Note 3 Lite or Mega 2 (4415 which is worse in terms of performance on S3 and Note 2)

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 official Android 5.0 Lollipop update Canceled due to hardware limitations http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...p-update-Canceled-due-to-hardware-limitations

Guess what almost same specs

Στάλθηκε από το SM-N910C μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note II General] ndasarathy:
They didn't mention anything about hardware limitation
[Galaxy Note II General] tassosmer:
No! Just compare Core Prime and Note 2. Core Prime is worse than note but it has 5.0.2 lollipop version. The only reason note will possibly not take lollipop is that it is a 3 year-old phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] PoLiThS:
From their site ...

We reached out for the company support team requesting more info regarding this info. Well, it turns out that the Galaxy Note 8.0 will not be able to run Lollipop with TouchWiz smoothly due to limited hardware capabilities which will not deliver an optimal User Experience, according to Samsung. We would like to point out that the Note 8.0 packs a Quad-core Exynos 4412 Cortex-A9 CPU, a Mali-400MP4 GPU along with a 2GB RAM LPDDR2 chip, the device was launched in 2013 with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean out-of-the-box then got the Android 4.4 KitKat OTA update later after that.

[Galaxy Note II General] cpm:
To be quite honest I've lost faith in Samsung phones.

Won't go into the where's and why's.

If they released 5.1 I'd be gobsmacked.

In the meantime I'm keeping my eyes on Sony Xperia. SD slot, removable battery, and waterproof/dust proof to boot.

Roll on the Z5 Plus (early 2106?) cause that's looking like a strong possible replacement for my cherished note 2.

Note 2 wont get either Android L & M via OTA

But we will get Android M via Custom Rom for sure
[Galaxy Note II General] manuel1992:
I still hope note 2 will get android 5.0

If not so it will be a disappointment.

Our note 2 received only one major update (change of version) from jelly bean to kitkat. And only 2 updates 4.3 and 4.4.2. So i think samsung should release the update.
[Galaxy Note II General] the_naturat_com:
Hope you can have. The update will certainly not be released. Samsung does not make exceptions..

[Galaxy Note II General] Minto107:
I don't think so. We were told to receive the update firstly in June, then in Q3 of 2015 and we still have nothing! No leaks, no screenshots that confirms that we will get lollipop. Better. I saw screenshot that S3 LTE is not getting update so I think that Note 2 3G/4G won't get it also. This phone/phablet is much too old to receive anything from Samsung. On I9305 we didn't get any update on 4.4.4 since June! May let's stop this spam until there'll be next fake confirmation or sammobile.com will lie us again

I think, that Note 2; Note 3 Neo and Mega 2 don't receive Lollipop update. Old devices. If you want TouchWiz Lollipop, buy new phone.;)
[Galaxy Note II General] bobbo888:
You're right, it isn't. But when several regional Samsung twitter accounts say it's in development, along with a Samsung employee, it suggests there's some truth in it. Of course, it might turn out that after testing Samsung decide not to roll out the update, but we'll see.

[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
That's maybe the truest sentence in 70 pages and counting....

If the custom ROMs are so good then how to explain so many people waiting/hoping for official TW LP? I've tried Omni, CM and others based on AOSP. Hmmmm. Some goodness but a lot of problems too. When you have become accustomed to >24 hours battery life including 4 or 5 hours screen time it is not really possible to switch to something which dies at hour 8 or 11. And I use MultiWindow all the time. And I like stuff like WifDirect, Dock Line Out and others which actually work and are not merely menu entries describing broken functions destined to be ignored forever.

I'm very happy with TW KitKat, rooted + Nova Launcher and a few Xposed modules to civilise the experience. The hardware is brilliant, being stable, powerful and very undemanding on battery. I definitely do not want to buy another phone for at least a couple more years. Which is probably a factor in why Samsung will never offer another update for Note 2. If they still supported it then we would have got some important security bug patches by now (certifigate, stagefright vulnerabilities and so on). My only reason now for wanting LP is to get security bugfixes.

Note 2 will never get an update beyond KK. Not even bugfixes. Everyone should quit wasting time hoping and crying. The choices are:

continue with TW KK and modify behaviour and settings to minimise vulnerability to serious bugs.

switch to AOSP based LP ROM and live with reduced functionality, stability and terrible battery life.

buy Sony or iPhone and pray.

Samsung galaxy s5 mini got lollipop update which is a exynos 3 device. note 2 is exynos 4 device and why this samsung is cheating us. Even nexus 4 is going to receive android 6.0. I'm really sad.:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Galaxy Note II General] julian67:
It isn't complicated.

S5 Mini was only released in 2014 and is the newest Galaxy Mini, is available in regular retail outlets and from carriers. Note 2 was released in 2012 and is no longer available from carriers or regular retail outlets (maybe you can find one as an end of line or ex demo or warranty return), was superceded by the Note 3 almost 2 years ago.

When my N2 will die, I'll either buy a used previous generation Note (whatever that may be), or a new Chinese phone (like Huawei/Meizu/Xiaomi) with similar characteristics. At least the Chinese still have the common sense not to put 2K/4K battery guzzling display on a 5.5 inch device.

[Galaxy Note II General] vadim6385:
Tried that. Had a Nexus 5, from which I happily returned to Note 2.

Bleak display colors, non-removable battery, no SD slot, stock Android (which is a lot buggier than TW), insufficient battery life, no hardware buttons.

Sold it for little more than half the price, for two month old phone in pristine condition.

And with Nexus 6, I prefer to pay a little more, and get Note 4.

[Galaxy Note II General] kimshawk:
Please suggest stable custom lollipop rom with good battery life
[Galaxy Note II General] razorg:
I loved the Cyanodenmod 12.1 rom on my N7100 Note 2 but a couple of things made me return to the stock ROM; Firstly, I love and I definitely utilize almost every feature of S-Pen and S-Planner in my life, which the AOSP ROMs don't have. The other things are, I really hated the stock camera and music apps on Cyanogenmod.

Again saying, I love custom Lollipop ROMs on Note 2, the interface is so smooth and fast, but in terms of usability it's still behind TW, at least for me. By the way, is there any way to port the S Pen, S Planner, Camera, Gallery and Music apps of TW to AOSP? If there is, I would return back to AOSP this instant! But if not, I'm gonna stick (unfortunately) to the TW KitKat ROM, because especially S Pen is a must for me! (If it was the GS3 we were talking about, I wouldn't wait another second to install AOSP but the trick which makes Note 2 a Note 2 is the pen, and without it this device is nothing but ordinary.)

That's why we have been literally begging this piece of c..p company called Samsung to release an update for us, but clearly, they like to force us into buying a new device more than gaining the heart of the public, but great news people; NOT EVERYONE'S BUDGET LETS THEM TO BUY A NEW DEVICE EVERY 1.5 YEARS, AND SOME OF US WHO STILL HAVE A BIT OF "COMMON SENSE" DOESN'T WANT TO SPEND £550 ON A DEVICE AND THROW IT AWAY IN 1.5-2 YEARS! So, this was a big lesson learnt for me. Samsung makes exceptionally good devices, devices that go in the book of "all time greats" in terms of hardware and functionality, but they are the worst in terms of device support, which is in today's world much more important than the RAW power of a device. I'm going for Sony Xperia Z5, at least they provide exceptionally decent software support...
