Galaxy Note specs - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Check this page http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SGH-I717ZBAATT-specs
And this page http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-note-carbon-blue.html
When the specs change from Android 2.3 to Android 4.0 it means the update is out. Maybe this will help in all the confusion that happens when people start threads saying they have an update notification.

They both say 2.3.

Thats the point when they change to Android 4.0 the update is out. There have been a lot of people saying they are getting notifications that say they have an update but when they click on it it doesn't do anything and tells them to try to download it later so the next time it happens all people have to do is check one of these sites to see if the specs have changed to say Android 4.0 and if it has it means the update was released.

No, you can't just assume they'll update that page even after it's officially released. In fact, I'd bet that they won't update that page, because if they change it to say "Android 4.0" and there are tons of devices out in the wild still running GB, the spec would be wrong for the majority of the devices.

Agree, and for the devices still in stores, they won't be updated unless they take every one out of the box, power it up and update it... Then it will be used. LOL!

As a matter of fact. I received a new Note from At&t today. Once I booted up I received message stating there's a update. Servers r currently busy and will try again later. I tired manually after the message and it said I'm up to date.
Weird ....

[Q] Has anyone seen 2.3 through Kies yet?

Has anyone seen a gingerbread update for their vibrant on kies? They said the update would start rolling out beginning of last week for all galaxy s phones.

Actually, your thinking of the Fascinate, since we all know that Verizon delays more then anyone else.
We would probably see Gingerbread first of the US carriers.

I beg to differ. I will fight you tooth and nail that T-Mobile will be the last to push the update. As many Android phones that I have been through with T-Mobile and waiting for empty promises; ummm.....yeah.

if you actually read the release info about the "promised gb update", you'd have read the part about how the US variants are on a different timeline, and if you had been here during the whole 2.1 -> 2.2 update debacle, you'd have known that all these timeline "promises" ONLY apply the the international galaxy s phones.

New Updates ?

Hi
It has been a while since last galaxy s2 got an official update ?!
dose anyone know why ?
world wide no any official update since the arrival of Kh3 which was a month and a week ago ?
we usual got updates every 1 to 2 weeks ?!
2.3.5 is on its way.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
so that is why updates stoped ?
and i didnt hear that 2.3.5 will be released to galaxy s2 are you sure ?
ice cream's on the way
I'm still waiting for the official 2.3.4 update (I have an unlocked phone from the UK). The current firmware has a weird bug that causes the data connection to occasionally drop... So I'm hoping the next update fixes this.
will 2.3.5 be official to galaxy s2 ?

Is something broken in hk3 that needs to be updated? Or do you simply want an update because its simply newer?
and is there any release date ?

I had a phone die from bad Samsung officially released FW after a KIES update. Plus Samsung wouldn't support it even though it was "incorrectly placed by them", and given the green light for my region (and I went through the finger pointing game between Samsung/carrier)
Odin is definitely the way to go. You get a million times better support from here over Samsung if anything goes wrong...

And you need bug fixes/new features/more battery life updates every week? Download cm7, you'll get updates everyday.
i think it take again a while before an update comes! i don't get it the big successor of samsung and sgs1 again first an update!
Ehh...so far no one really answered the OPs question. Obviously he knows there are custom solutions out there but he simply asked about an official Kies update. I am on XEU as well and am frustrated by the lack of an official update in over 2 months. Unfortunately, I don't think anyone is going to be able to give you any reason why there hasn't been updates or any information on when one may be coming. Samfirmware isn't really official and I haven't seen any quotes from an official Samsung source like their twitter. Seems like we just have to wait and suffer with the battery bug and the data connection issues...
I'm also very disappointed with speed of Samsung in releasing new updates. Anyway now I have HTC Sensation for test (Czech) and Android is still 2.3.3, but in Germany it is 2.3.4
So I would like to mainly ask Google to step into this jungle and make some order. Otherwise, I think people will turn to iOS or WM 7.5, where updates are more clear...

Looks like the OTA release of ICS for the Rezound is about to happen

http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-rezound-verizon/software-updates
Just checked.
Yesterday the page showed 01.26.2012 (the date of the last OTA).
Today the page shows 06.20.2012.

Sent from my Nexus 7
I hope its soon. It looks like my tablet (Xoom) is going to be updated to Jelly Bean before my phone can be updated to Ice Cream Sandwhich.... SMH
All I see now is
HTC SYNC 3.0.5617 FOR HTC Rezound | 01.17.2012
Which is not the same thing.
I think it is a test by HTC to see how many forum threads can get started each time they make a change to their site. Then they remove the notice.
Been playing with a Nexus 7 all day... Jelly Bean is pretty cool, but I'm not starving for it on my Rezound. ICS is good enough for me and I prefer Sense anyway.
There just messing with us, at this rate we'll be lucky to see an ota by christmas or ever... they probably just keep promising it so people looking at buying a new phone won't choose another phone that already has ics.
Saw nobody mention this but in this site
http://www.htc.com/us/smartphones/htc-rezound-verizon/
Under specs, it states the 3.14.605.10 710RD as their current version. It's been like this for a few days. It'll be funny if it comes out 7/20 and kept giving us the 6/20 as a hint ;-P

That is the current software version.
Content on that page keeps changing. Now (7/19/2012, 12:07) all HTC shows is the link for HTC SYNC from 1/17/2012.
I agree with the suggestions of some posters' in the forum that these are hints at what is happening behind the scenes between HTC and Verizon.
I'm hoping to see an official ICS OTA before the end of the month, but I sure won't be holding my breath. At least when it does, that presumably gets us a step closer to getting source released.
Here are the links at HTC and Verizon that I've used to check for releases.

Looks like it really is official. The Verizon support page says it's coming soon, with a changelog and instructions.

If we see it, I think it'll be a positive sign that the carriers listen to the voices of users wanting (demanding) updates and similar featuresets to other models of the same handset (not stripped down) but I'd be really surprised if we ever see another official update out of AT&T for the Note.
We're under contract for two years, IMO we should get good support and reasonable updates for those two years.
I still think if carriers didn't screw with the updates so much, they could get them out faster and cheaper, but I doubt that'll happen

true but not exactly what I meant. What I mean is say Samung goes to release say the Note 3, they write an ASOP rom, and then another that has all of the touchwiz, multiple windows and other cool samsung apps. When the phone hits the carrier, it will inevitably be laced with AT&T bloatware, but we'd still have the original ASOP from sammy to choose from. Now I know in this model there's no way a company like Samsung could maintain 2 ROMs for every phone, but I think many of us would prefer to go without touchwiz for a clean experience and true customizability that Android was meant to be.
Really though, if Google went to more of a modular design instead of encoding the hardware drivers within a kernel that would be the end all of that. Yes I do understand that kernal compilation with the drivers provides a speedier system, but heck our phones are packing a dual core and it's just linux and linux is quick by nature.
Just my thoughts.

Followed up on your claim that any official dates have been confirmed, they haven't. Most recent information as stated by HTC is target 2nd week of April. That's not a confirmation of any specific date especially since the update is with Verizon right now to get final certification. If you have specific information from a source to say otherwise please post.
Agreeing with xlxcrossing. Everything i see shows the 2nd week of April. if you have diff info please share. otherwise here is where i got my info.
http://motoringcrunch.com/news/htc-...e-release-date-siren-starts-ringing/10012474/
If they are to meet the target launch of April this should mean that KitKat 4.4 should arrive before 14 April. Detail :

I'm sure resources could have been but at the same time Google said it was a low percentage of devices that even have that version. I'd like to say it was like 1-3% or something that low so it probably wasn't too high on the list to fix. I do think their is a patch they have out though
There's been some subtle info coming through the pipeline but week of 21st (now) is the adjusted time for target release. Hopefully some of you will get the OTA notification soon. This isn't a guarantee by any means, we all know the update process through Verizon historically has always been massively delayed at times when dealing with older devices. Its not like HTC or Verizon though to give constant updates pushing it week to week. They already did their 3 month postponement so I think its legit at this point.

Noob Question please!
Guys, a noob here. Just caught the news about KK coming over to Droid DNA. I have an unlocked version running Viper DNA 1.3.5 on Android version 4.1.1 with Sense 4.
Will I get notification of the KK update OTA since I'm in Canada and hence not running on Verizon's network and secondly, if I do the update, will I be able to run the ViperDNA as a dual boot option or is it even worthwhile to do that?
Thanks in advance folks!!!
