ICS is coming to the note in Q2!! Read This http://www.mobileburn.com/19014/new...ite-to-update-galaxy-note-to-android-40-in-q2
yes but is this for the AT&T note?
From everything I can see, no date yet for the AT&T note. TBD.

Yes from q2, which means starting in q2. So international will get in first in q2, and the carriers will get it a few months later likely.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say ICS was post-poned until Q2 so that this could be a full rollout; meaning within days the first to the last note should recieve it's OTA.
Seriously, look at the publicity behind this device. I honestly think AT&T and Samsung managed to NOT be assholes this time.
Isn't this just for the regular note and not the LTE version.

Someone say angry birds? Not in a hurry for ICS, already enjoying it on my Transformer.

Even though at&t is "promoting" the Note, you think they are going to roll out ICS quickly? It might cause harm to their "flagship" icrap.
I went into an at&t store on release day of the note to get a case for my international note & I about fell over dead when I saw a poster on the wall with the note. Something besides crapple.
Probably gonna get this Ics in Canada early

I think most of this hype is actually directed at the International version. Samsung even mentions the Note's "powerful 1.4ghz processor" in the newest Angry Birds PR. That sounds to me like the Exynos phones will get ICS first (GII and I Note) and then if we're lucky the Snapdragon models (SR and I717)
And that still doesn't count the carrier development time. I keep my original estimate of ICS on the AT&T I717 at October 1st and the Canadian versions in late summer.
Call me cynical but....
Of course the dev roms will flow alot sooner.

ICS was postponed on the international version because the current ICS leaks suck and Samsung probably doesn't want to release another half assed software update. I would be very surprised if AT&T sees this in Q2

Is it true this is the at &t carrier branded version of the galaxy s 2? it has the same specs as the galaxy s II except for a bigger screen ( 4.5") and it lacks a a dualcore processor, does this mean the galaxy s II will not be released for at & T ?
I think the Infuse will come out at the end of this month or early next month, but the sgs 2 won't come to US carriers until end of this year.

the end of the year? the samsung captivate (also on at & t) was released just one month after the international galaxy s
Personally I'd rather have the larger screen (for video playback) than dual core.
there's a May date floating around for SG2
May?!?!?! I really wanted April. =\
Yea a lot of people are forgetting about the Infuse. I likes the idea and design but Im definitely going to be getting the Galaxy S 2

It was designed to run GB, that's why it was released with GB.

I know it wasn't ICS but seriously, it was a commercial for an Android application that was filmed in freaking SPACE. Yeah, it's a cross-platform app, but this was not only centered around the Android version, but featured our phones exclusively.
I'm not hearing a lot from the Apple fanboys these days, so I'd say it was a pretty big score for us, all told.

Just out of curiosity, what is soon? When you purchased the Note originally, when did you expect it to have ICS?
When I bought my Infuse it came with Froyo. It should have had GB and AT&T stalled for months only to release a broken GB update. Never did I think of returning the Infuse because of that. Now that I have the Note and it is running GB, I am fine with waiting for ICS. Because in all honesty, I will probably end up rooting the device and installing an ICS ROM well before anything comes out from AT&T. The ROMS that were available for the Infuse were awesome and if I were not eligible for an upgrade when I bought my Note, I would still be happily using that device.
I thought it would be updated fairly quickly with the potential the phone has, but at the same time nobody purchased the note to use it and all of a sudden a year later its updated. Don't get me wrong I love android and the note but I have always felt the ball is dropped when it comes to updates and pushing them out.. How is it that they are mentioning "jelly bean" when over 90% of the android devices that are out now don't even have ICS, and with the notes specs it is more than capable of running it if my nexus a could. As far as "soon", and I'm not sure, but possibly if not within my 30 day return period if I decide I don't want to keep it. More than likely I will keep it.

Fair enough, I was trying not to root it because I didn't want to increase the flash counter. I I know there's Odin but I've heard of people using it to flash the stock rom and it increasing their counter and I didn't want to run that risk.

I was strolling around the other note 2 forums for different carriers and noticed all of the other us carriers have the 4.1.2 update. But we don't? I know how Verizon is but this is a joke. I mean, it might be a small update and I don't mind but it really is outrageous that Verizon can be lazy to catch up on software updates.
If anything, I might just root.
Any thoughts on this guys? Or if there is an expected release for 4.1.2. Thanks!
Big Red doesn't hurry on updates then people will be less likely to buy new phones. Verizon doesn't like the N2 anyway, because it competes with their DNA.

Seems to make sense. DNA is nowhere near a threat to the note 2 so you do have a point. I may consider rooting over the next weekend when Im off work. I'll probably have to plan out what I'll do after root though.

Hogwash. It is a different price range and market. There is no substantiating evidence supporting that whatsoever. It brings them contracts, they don't care what device it is.

Jelly Bean (4.2.2)
In theory, we should be getting Jelly Bean (4.2.2) along with most of the S4 apps shortly as well (provided VZW doesn't screw us over...like always).
Then again, I'm waiting for the some final GPS patches to be merged into CM10.1, then I'll probably be running that full time.

When Samsung says "looking at May-June for 4.2.2 Galaxy Note 2/S3 updates", that means' International. Then, Verizon has to take that update, drop it's pants and pop a squat on it, smear it all over the place, hold on to it for a few more months to let it really ferment and get nasty, then they'll post some kind of update changelog wherein Verizon is God himself and is sending us a gift from heaven that they concocted.
Samsung must sit there and shake their head every time Verizon updates one of their phones months after they did.

have you talked to a vzw employee? most of the time they are even less in the loop than most people on xda. sure, some people are great and know what they are talking about, but i would say 60-80% are more clueless than the person calling in.
I read that Verizon will be the only carrier not to sell the Nexus 5. Reasoning? Likely it is highly integrated with Google apps such as the forbidden Wallet. Google plans to end fragmentation with this backward compatible version but we all know how Verizon likes to be in complete control. Chances the Note II will see this carrier upgrade, slim to none?
Verizon likes to have full control over the devices which Google doesn't want in its Nexus program. Verizon also doesn't see the potential (Profit) in the Nexus which may not be too far off as it is mainly just us Android addicts that go crazy over it, most mainstream consumers are looking at the G2, Moto X, HTC One, and GS4 (All of which Verizon has on their network).
As for when we will get the update really relies on Samsung and if they want to make it available for the Note 2. The 4.3 update was in the air for a while and being that the GS5 will be announced early next year we may never see 4.4 officially. If we do we may be in luck for once as Verizon and Samsung seemed to have synced up nicely with the 4.3 release and Verizon is actually one of the first carriers to push it out to their Galaxy devices (Note 2, GS3, GS4) but who knows.
I think the low memory requirements for Android and 4.4 were more for porting it to new devices such as watches and to support current low end models, not getting older forgotten about devices finally upgraded.

Samsung is slow? Are you insane? It's the carrier that is slow. Check your facts pal. Samsung usually gives at least a couple major updates but they are severely limited by Verizon. Especially when we are such an open phone. They take more time to fix the bootloader being unlocked as instructed by Verizon. Samsung is a fantastic company. The fact that the s3 is getting 4.3 is a good indicator of how the note 2 will be treated a little later down the line.

It still take Samsung months to release an update on the international versions. They are only semi quick on the very latest phones. There's no reason a billion dollar company should take that long when a group of developers from this site can port asop Roms by themselves in a matter of hours, albeit with some bugs but these people do this for fun and are way more efficient.
