Samsung Galaxy Note 2: What to Expect After Android 4.3 - Gotta Be Mobile

All eyes are currently on the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update, an update que continues to roll out in the United States and around the world, bringing Samsung Galaxy Gear KNOX and support along with it. However, we have our eye to the future and here, we want to take a look at what Galaxy Note 2 Should users expect after the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update rolls in October

Back in July, Google Announced Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, an update que expresso some incremental upgrades and enhancements to Nexus owners. At the team’s many flagship devices had not even been updated to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, leaving many to wonder how the future would play in October

For Samsung Galaxy Note 2 users, it meant a long wait for a major update to Samsung Decided to skip Android 4.2 Jelly Bean in support of the Bluetooth Low Energy enhanced Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. Bluetooth LE is important for Samsung’s Galaxy ace Gear, a watch-like accessory que syncs with the Galaxy Note Galaxy 2 and other devices via Bluetooth.

December Could bring the Galaxy Note Android 4.3 update 2 release in some regions, with Galaxy Note 3 features.

Android 4.3 Jelly Bean did not start rolling out to the Galaxy Note 2 immediately, however. Users had to wait a few weeks for Samsung and its various carriers to get Their act together. A few days ago, we saw the software roll out to the international version of the device and just a short time ago, the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 Became the first to get Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. The other 2 Galaxy Note Android 4.3 updates are close and we expect Them to be delivered before the end of the year.

After a few weeks, the nostalgia will wear off and Galaxy Note 2 owners will once again be looking toward the future, wondering what might be in the store for Them. Signs currently point to Android 4.4 KitKat being the next update for the Galaxy Note 2, an update que has already emerged for several devices including the Moto X.

With

que in mind, it’s time to take a look at what we think comes next for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, after the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update.

Galaxy Note 2 to Android 4.3 Problems Linger

The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update is Rolling Out slowly, Particularly in the United States where the roll out has very limited. While we have not heard about any catastrophic issues with the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update, we have been hearing about issues with other Galaxy Note 2 variants including complaints about battery life and slow charging.

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Video - 020

update software is perfect so we fully expect the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 updates in the U.S. and elsewhere to come with some issues. Problem is, this is an Android device that means que bug fix updates will not come fast or easy. Samsung will need to work with carriers to develop and test any bug fix update to Android 4.3 Which will take some team.

So, Those Who Are Experiencing issues with Android 4.3 on the Galaxy Note 2, Likely will have to wait a few weeks, if not a few months, is an Android 4.3 bug fix update to arrive.

One More Android 4.3 Update

Users Should expect the Galaxy Note 2 to get an update before its next major upgrade. Often carriers and Samsung will roll out bug fix updates in the weeks before a major upgrade to prepare the device for the next major piece of software and that’s what we expect here. We expect to see Galaxy Note 2 models get an incremental update in the next couple of months, Aimed at tackling any lingering issues inside of Android 4.3.

We can not speak to what Those issues will be, all devices and users are different, but Samsung and its carriers Their Should the best to push out updates ahead of the Android 4.4 update that is KitKat rumored to be arriving sometime before the end of April.

Android 4.4 KitKat, At Least

KitKat is not confirmed Android 4.4 for the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 but it’s Likely. The device is only a year old and marked its first Android 4.3 Android upgrade major. So, we que doubt Samsung is going to stop there. Instead, cornichons see Android 4.4 roll out KitKat, barring any delays or issues, sometime in 2014, perhaps in the first half of the year. And here’s where it gets confusing.

android_kitkat

We think the Galaxy S3 stops on Android 4.4 KitKat. It’s turning old and two years old eats May. Google does not recommend updates past 18 months of service so we highly doubt That It gets anything past Android 4.4. The Galaxy Note 2 is younger than the Galaxy S3 and it arrived with stock Android 4.2. The Galaxy S3 with Android 4.0 arrived. The Galaxy Note Also has 2 more horsepower, quad-core processor, the Galaxy S3 que something does not have.

Yes, the device will be turning two, but not until September of this year. Galaxy Note 2 users can expect Android 4.4 KitKat, that’s a sure thing, and we would not be surprised if the Galaxy Note 2 got one more update. Expect one major update, hope for two.

Same

Update Process

Whatever lies ahead

Should come with the same update process que’ve seen from Samsung team and time again. For those que que aren’t clear on what entails, here is a rundown of what to expect in the build up to the next major release Which is almost certainly going to be the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.4 update KitKat:

  1. Early rumors about the release window. This has already happened and the update is rumored to be coming by the end of April.
  2. In the weeks after the release date leak Substantial That All but Confirms Samsung’s plans and nails further down the window.
  3. Galaxy Note Android 4.4 2 KitKat leak, que to sign the update is getting closer.
  4. All the while, there will be zero communication from Samsung or the carriers que host the Galaxy Note 2.
  5. As we push deeper into 2014, Samsung will finally confirm the update When its weeks away.
  6. Another update

  7. leak, this one Should be close to the end version.
  8. International

  9. 2 Galaxy Note Android 4.4 update will roll KitKat October
  10. U.S. Galaxy Note 2 variants will follow.

That’s what we expect and we would be surprised if the roll out process in October played any differently. Samsung is a creature of habit and we expect a similar upgrade process for Android 4.4 KitKat and beyond.


Issues, Again

Again, even the most stable Android updates Likely will not be safe from bugs. For the most part, the Android 4.4 update KitKat has been playing nice with Nexus devices. In the past, we’ve seen the initial experience get plagued by bugs so this is a good sign. Nexus devices aren’t Samsung devices though and They do not have complicated TouchWiz software on board.

Google’s apparently did not play nice with Android 4.2 software and it’s clear That It’s not playing nice with Android 4.3. So, we suspect que Galaxy Note 2 users will run into some issues once the Android 4.4 update arrives KitKat. Same goes for any updates after it. So, users will simply want to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.

The Fresh

Device

In 2014 cornichons see Samsung make some major upgrades to the Galaxy Note 2′s software. That means features from Android 4.4 KitKat, as well as enhancements to the device’s TouchWiz software. Samsung’s major updates Typically come with enhancements and fixes on board and we expect to see the same from any arriving updates in 2014. With the Samsung Galaxy S5 due in October next year, We Could see some features deliver Samsung Galaxy Note 2 to its users.

Point is, expect the software experience on the Galaxy Note 2 to Improve in 2014 and hopefully make the device feel like a new phone. The company has been successful with this in the past and it’s the reason why people will continue to buy these phones. Samsung is simply able to deliver a solid experience throughout the duration of the contract. Look for additions to the TouchWiz to do something similar next year.

    With the announcement of Android KitKat, owners of top of the line appliances from Samsung have already started to imagine the size of waiting to receive the new OS on their devices. That’s because no traditional device brand appeared in Google’s first list to be updated and the Korean is not exactly a company that works fast in this business. Either, surprising way that may seem, chances are at least the Galaxy Note 3 S4 and receive their KitKats already in January.

    information is connected to a Samsung source who provided details of these releases to iTechAddict. The image that opens this news would be an official timeline of the company, but there is no way to prove its authenticity.

    out the new top of the line, the last generation of Samsung also has its date scheduled update. According to the same source, the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 are in line to receive the KitKat, with their dates of release scheduled for April.

    is important to note that these dates are related to international models of handsets from Samsung. Thus, the devices sold in South Korea, North America and Europe are the ones who should get the OS on those dates. In Brazil, however, probably will have to wait longer.

    AT & T Galaxy Note Android 4.3 Update 2 Is Close - Gotta Be Mobile

    Samsung seems to think the que AT & T Galaxy Note 2 already has access to the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update. That the we know, is not true. However, the listing on Samsung’s website is a good sign que 2 Samsung Galaxy Note Android 4.3 update for AT & T users is now closer than ever and Could roll out in the imminent future.

    Several weeks ago, a leaked Android 4.3 update schedule leaked Out, presenting possible release dates for owners of the Galaxy S4, S3 and Galaxy 2 Galaxy Note in the United States. Some of Those dates have been dead on accurate, others, have not been. Yesterday, we were supposed to see two 2 Galaxy Note Android 4.3 updates Announced in the United States and sadly, we only saw Sprint announce its Galaxy Note 2 update. AT & T, the other carrier que was rumored to have something for users, Remained silent.

    December Could bring the Galaxy Note Android 4.3 update 2 release in some regions, with Galaxy Note 3 features.

    Anticipation is high and AT & T Galaxy Note Likely 2 owners are looking for answers. And while there is the concrete date set in stone anymore, it does look like the update might roll out in the not-so-distant future.

    Samsung’s website shows the AT & T Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 running the Jelly Bean, an operating system que the device does not currently operate. Thanks to the cached version of the website, we know That this change was made very recently. We imagine the change could have been made based on yesterday’s presumed roll out date only to see the update delayed.

    While we can not say for sure, we do take this as a sign something is close que for AT & T Galaxy Note 2 owners. It could be today, tomorrow It Could Be, It Could Be in a few days but Android 4.3 Jelly Bean is on the way. Also this is the first confirmation we’ve seen out of que Samsung, even though we’ve known que the update is coming.

    The next rumored Galaxy Note 2 release date is for Verizon, an update that is supposedly going to start rolling out on November 29th, or, Black Friday. That has not been confirmed by Verizon and it will be interesting to see if Verizon misses Also its presumed release date. We’ve seen at least one carrier outside the U.S. delay its upgrade, so, it’s possible That We Could see some further delays in the U.S.

    The Samsung Galaxy Note Android 4.3 update 2 is, in fact, rolling out in. other parts of the world and the update is delivering much anticipated Galaxy Gear support, Samsung KNOX and a host of other enhancements and fixes. The update, believe it or not, Represents the Galaxy Note Android 2′s first major update.

    Galaxy Note Android 4.3 Update 2 Runs Into Delays - Gotta Be Mobile

    The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update, Rolling Out Which started earlier this week, has run into at least one lengthy delay the Australian carrier Telstra claims the update que, Which originally said it would roll out in November, isn “t Likely To roll out until late December. And because other carriers have not Announced Their plans, there is a chance That We Could see some delays elsewhere as well.

    In September, Samsung Announced que it would be Rolling Out Updates to the Galaxy S4, Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3 updates que would bring support for the company’s new accessory, the Galaxy Gear. Many assumed que Those updates would be Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and Those assumptions PROVED accurate in October When all three Samsung Announced Android 4.3 updates.

    Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Video - 020

    From late October to now, we’ve seen a number of Android 4.3 roll outs. First, it was the Galaxy S4 que saw its upgrade with Sprint and Verizon among the first to roll out the software. Shortly after que, we saw the Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 update roll out and then, a few weeks later, the Galaxy Note Android 4.3 update 2 started to push.

    Of course, these updates have not been without Their fair share of issues. Already, we’ve seen Galaxy S4 updates pulled in the United States, the Galaxy S3 update pulled in the UK and miss their updates roll out dates in the United States. All in all, it has been a rough ride for many Galaxy device owners. So, It Should eats que no surprise we are seeing some bumps in the road for the Galaxy Note 2.

    Back in October, Telstra, an Australian based carrier, laid OUT A game plan for its Galaxy Note 2 users. It Claimed que it would receive the Android 4.3 update, from Samsung, in early November and push the update out in. late November. This time frame Seemed to fall in line with other rumors we had seen. Today though, Telstra Acknowledged a change in plans.

    The carrier says

    que Samsung delayed the delivery of Android 4.3 to November 22nd, tomorrow, and que the update is now scheduled to arrive deep in the month of December, far later than expected. While this is a bummer for Galaxy Note 2 owners on Telstra, the delay Should Also be nerve racking for Galaxy Note 2 owners in other parts of the world.

    Screen Shot at 11/21/2013 9:39:14 AM

    Most carriers do not offer detailed timelines like Telstra, so there is no telling When Samsung may have the updates delivered Whether or there is a delay. At this point, nobody else has come right out and confirmed anything but at this point, Galaxy Note 2 owners Should Start Their tempering expectations a little bit.

    Earlier this week, we saw Sprint announce the Galaxy Note Android 4.3 update 2 and we expect que roll out to push out to all owners in the coming days. AT & T’s Galaxy Note 2 scheduled update did not land yesterday, a sign que it might have been delayed. Verizon’s Galaxy Note 2 is scheduled to get its update on November 29th so it will be interesting to see if it gets its update que day or not.

    2 Galaxy Note Android 4.3 Update Rolls Out: What You Need to Know - Gotta Be Mobile

    After weeks and weeks of waiting, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update has started rolling out to users. Of course, in true Samsung fashion, the roll out, at this point, only applies to a select few Galaxy Note 2 users with the rest of the updates Likely to roll out in the weeks ahead. Now that the roll out has begun, we take a look at what Galaxy Note 2 owners need to know about the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update roll in October

    In September, Announced the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, its brand new phablet que and the device hit shelves in early October. The Galaxy Note 3 was not the only thing que Announced it on stage in Berlin, however. The company debuted the Galaxy Gear Also, the smartwatch-like accessory que went on sale along with the Galaxy Note 3. The company Also Announced updates for the Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note and Galaxy 2 S4, updates would bring que Galaxy Gear support.

    December Could bring the Galaxy Note Android 4.3 update 2 release in some regions, with Galaxy Note 3 features.

    At the

    Team, Samsung did not confirm these updates to be Android 4.3 updates with the software though bringing Bluetooth Low Energy support, They were assumed to be Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. It took a few weeks, and a few rumors and leaks, but finally confirmed the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy S3 and S4 Galaxy Android 4.3 updates for arrival.

    The company outlined

    Their features including support and Samsung Galaxy Gear Knox though it declined to offer users specific release dates. Samsung rarely offers specific timing for software updates so this was not surprising. In the weeks since, we’ve seen the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update roll outs begin. Rumors Suggested que 2 the Galaxy Note Android 4.3 update would arrive this month though no one, not even Samsung would confirm that.

    Today, after a fairly lengthy wait, the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean finally roll out started. To mark the occasion, we want take a look at the most important things users need to know about the brand new update and the first major update for the Galaxy Note 2.


    2 Galaxy Note Android 4.3 Roll Out Par for the Course

    2 The Samsung Galaxy Note Android 4.3 update roll out in October is playing exactly like we expected it to. Samsung roll outs Typically start with one variant in one region. Soon after, the update will then spread to another device, then another, and then land in places like the United States. This is almost exactly how this roll out has started.

    Look for a new design from the Galaxy Note 3.

    Today, we’ve seen two devices get the update, as opposed to one, and two regions see the update as opposed to one. Perhaps the sign que Samsung is trying to speed things up. The Galaxy Note GT-N7100 2 is just now receiving the software in India while the Galaxy Note GT-N7105 2, the LTE model, is seeing the update in Nordic countries.

    Again, this staggered approach is exactly what we expected and it means que Should continues the roll out in the coming days so Galaxy Note 2 owners need to know to be patient.

    Galaxy Note 2 U.S. Roll Out Could Begin Tomorrow

    Several weeks ago, the calendar is leaked Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updates in the United States leaked in October And while it has been accurate for Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean updates, it has proven inaccurate for Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 updates in the United States. So, that means U.S. que que owners need to know tomorrow’s rumored roll outs may not happen.

    bbandroid4.3-620x203 8:42:05 AM

    Both AT & T and Sprint are rumored to be delivering Their 2 Galaxy Note Android 4.3 update tomorrow. Neither carrier has Announced and anything we’ve seen the carriers miss their presumed Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 update release dates, meaning, there is a good chance que They will miss dates on tomorrow’s as well. That said, Galaxy Note 2 owners on AT & T and Sprint Should be on the look out tomorrow.


    T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2 Update Could Be Weeks Out

    T-Mobile just Became the first carrier in the United States to roll out the Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 update in the United States. However, the leaked schedule points to the carrier being last to the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update Following in the footsteps of the AT & T (11/20), Sprint (11/20), and Verizon (11/29) Android 4.3 updates.

    The carrier’s Galaxy Note 2 will presumably update roll out on December 2nd Which means users que Could Potentially be waiting a few weeks for the update to arrive.

    Installation Methods, For Some

    Today’s Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean roll out on T-Mobile is available over OTA and Samsung Kies. This is important because it means que there is a good chance que at least some Galaxy Note 2 users in the United States will be able to cut down on the long waits for the Over-the-Air updates and install manually with Samsung’s Kies software.

    Of course, there is no guarantee que T-Mobile or any other carriers will offer the update by way of Samsung Kies but today’s Galaxy S3 push means there is a chance que que T-Mobile, at the very least, will.

    We do not, at this point, expect the software to leak ahead of the team we have not see any Android 4.3 updates for Galaxy devices leak ahead of time. Instead, users will be forced to wait for the official roll in October

    S4 Galaxy, Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 Update Issues

    Galaxy Note 2 users interested in the Android 4.3 update should know to proceed with caution once the update does arrive.

Also it’s something made clear que delay its Sprint Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 roll out from its original November 6th roll out date.

    The Galaxy Note 2 uses software that is similar to the Galaxy S3 and there is a good chance That We Could see some issues emerge in the days ahead. Even if there aren’t issues, we advise Galaxy Note 2 owners to practice some patience When It Comes To Their Android 4.3 Jelly Bean roll outs. While it may be tempting to install the software it passe When available, it might be better to sit back and wait for user feedback.

    If feedback is poor, it may be worth staying on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is just awhile longer. If the feedback is overwhelmingly positive, then it’s probably safe to install the software. Keep these Galaxy Galaxy S3 and S4 in mind the issues the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 roll out progresses.
