ICS is coming to the Intl Note in March, not the ATT version. We'll be lucky to get it by the end of the year.

But yeah it will come over the air or through kies. Unless you are rooted and running other ROM.

Yes, official Android updates come OTA (over the air) directly to your phone as a notification.

what's your source on this. All they have to do from INTL to ATT is change the SOC **** basically, is there a precedent for them updating a Euro version of a phone 8 months before a US version of the same phone?

I wouldn't get your hopes up... if you're not expecting it and it comes, its a win win, but when March passes and every day you're expecting an OTA, you'll be sorely disappointed.

All US versions of the Galaxy S series were months behind the international version for the 2.2 release... The carriers have to add in all their bloatware and customizations before they can release it. ICS will be at least another 5-7 months based on prior history with AT& T

The international version of ICS doesn't have to pass "carrier testing"

Mark my words it wont be past april for our ICS update.
I'm pretty sure Rogers, bell and telus will get it earlier than at&t. It seems we keep getting things earlier.

At least when Ics drops for the international version we should have a good base to port a rom off of.
Im just glad to hear the update will be ota. One more reason to ditch my pc altogether.

How can you ditch your PC? I use it 8 hours a day+. I got my note because I wanted a bigger screen to make it more comfortable doing things I'd normally do on my PC.

Previously Samsung specified device upgrades by region. When they announced the Note ICS update, they did not. When questioned, they still stated ICS for the "Galaxy Note" in Q1 2012. I know how ATT is with updates, but I'm still optimistic. Just makes no sense that previous announcements included region specifications in the actual press release, whereas the Note did not. Only time will tell.

I think it will get it asap because this is the new hot thing on the market.
Samsung has a long running history for not releasing updates in a timely matter in the US. When the Samsung Captivate came to AT&T it was the best phone on the network but still was delayed updates for months after the international Galaxy S. Don't get your hopes up.

I don't know that 2.2 is a good example, how fast did Gingerbread make it over here?

Lets look at the phones after that. The original galaxy S lines is where that bad rep came from.

There's hope for official LG Marshmallow for all the G3 variants

For what it's worth.
Thanks to sot13may1 on Google+ at https://plus.google.com/u/0/100873899416430561037/posts/gkwjsvnVNp7?cfem=1, he references LG's page of sources for the D855 variant here http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=LGD855, which shows a Marshmallow build for it:
ANDROID 6.0 Marshmallow(OFFICIAL LG)-OPEN SOURCE http://opensource.lge.com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=LGD855
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Doesn't mean anything's for certain but if it's being released for the D855, it'll most likely come to the VS985 I would think. There's still no source newer than for 35B (5.1.1) for the VS985, but we'll see.
Is there any alignment between the models (LGD855 Marshmallow V30a vs LGVS985 Lollipop V35B)?

you guys will likely get it eventually, and it will probably be the last update you get, unless they botch it bad, and need to send fixes.
im guessing april/may at the earliest.
They could also botch it bad and NOT send fixes. Has happened before.

And by then we'll have 6.1 out. So once again Verizon will be behind the curve.

Best network but the worst updates
So apparently we were wrong since 6.0 is being pushed to Verizon. So unlike Verizon.

Nougat update UK

Anyone know what is happening with the nougat update in the UK? I am sat on 6.0.1 with the 01 August security patch. Anyone got anything newer? build number is MPL24.246-45
Looks like US versions have received it but not heard of anywhere else having got it yet?
Same build as you here I think it's due anytime though...
Hoping so, guess there were problems with the initial OTA.

Waiting here in Canada as well... no word from my carrier as to when to expect it either.
Installed it on my perfectly working Moto Z force this morning and it bricked it pretty much. Screen flashes every now and again. Took it to VZW and they are sending a replacement. Real bummer. Proceed with caution. Wish I had waited until I was sure no bugs were in it.

There is a reason because I don't like OTAs...
From what I'm seeing only the Verizon model got the update. The unlocked models are still waiting for a rollout. I'm hoping it's coming soon.

My apologies, I went from where he posted in the force thread with the same thing, thought I was still on that one. Either way I am not finding anything saying non Verizon variants have the update yet
That is insane. Why in the world would motorola snub a majority of their international and unlocked customers for verizon? They are the same device. Shady business practices. Never thought I would say that about Motorola.
im using vzw moto z on tmobile. got 3 ota downloaded within 3 days of usage. first 2 were security updates and 3rd on is android N os which im heisting to install it after reading all the wifi, bluetooth, battery issues with the N OS
