[Q] Will T-Mobile update the original Note ? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note

Has there been any indication if T-Mobile will update their original Note to JB 4.1? With AT&T's leaked JB 4.1 update , I'm curious if anyone has heard one way or another where T-Mobile might be with this.

Yeah that is a good question. Along with the Note I'm curious if they're going to also drop the JB update for the SGS2.
I hope they do update the Note soon though. I just updated my SGS3 and I really like Google Now.

I hope they do. I loved it on my gs3! I didnt wanna root but might have too. Is there a note 2 rom available?

Along with the benefits of the upgrade to 4.1 Jellybean , the original Galaxy Note is getting the Premium Suite upgrade. No word on if/when T-Mobile may pass this along officially.

I've seen the Samsung page about this, and listened carefully at TMoNews.com. Anyone heard or seen anything new about this?

Unless you're really hung up on the premium suite, I don't see any reason not to go to CM10. I'm using a nightly and 4.2.2 is very stable and fast. I can't believe how smooth the screen transitions are, generally a faster phone overall and you're not stuck with all the other bloatware. I do miss wifi calling, but my coverage has somewhat improved where I live. I also have Google Now, which I'm still playing with. I too got sick of waiting for the 4.1.2 update. So if we could get the premium suite and TMO wifi calling ported over to our CM10 distro, it would be perfect IMHO.

I agree that CM10 is a great stable fast rom, but it would be nice for Samsung and T-Mobile to give a little support to our phones. I personally would like to see the Suite make it's way down to us, even as a flash alone package from a dev. But considering the lack of devs for our devices, I won't hold my breath.

I have given up on waiting. Galaxy Note users on Tmobile is so low that I have a feeling they couldn't careless for us anymore if we get the JellyBean update or not. I am here in XDA right now looking for the best custom ROM for the original Galaxy Note. My GNote's stock firmware is already giving me the Windows98-bloated-and-slow effect.
So far I'm leaning more on the Padawan ROM, although not officially for Tmobile, I'll take chance because of the support for the S-Pen. Besides I'm reading on some post that it works.
[UPDATE]
No go on the Padawan. Too much hassle. I need my phone to work, right away. Instead of debugging it, I just installed AvatarROM. I need Wifi Calling though. Please help.

Captivate phasing out?

So I heard rumors that Samsung is not continuing production of the Captivate and will be phasing it out. Is it true??????? This would mean no Gingerbread for us. Anyone have any more info on this?
We most likely will not get Gingerbread anyway. Samsung only committed to one major release (that being froyo). There are leaks of it available on the i9000 but I would be very surprised if those ever shake down the tree to the Captivate. Especially with the Galaxy S 2 coming out in the coming weeks.
I'm a bit more optimistic about it. Perhaps we won't get an official 2.3 for the Captivate (from what I remember, Samsung doesn't build a firmware for a carrier branded device until the carrier asks for it, so you would have ATT to blame for that one), but I'm confident that the i9000 will get an official "Gingerbread". If they release an official 2.3 or 2.4 for the i9000, the source will follow soon after, and we can build a Captivate version from that.
if a cell phone is in your hand, it has been phased out already, in some regard.

Exactly. We will certainly get Gingerbread eventually, because the i9000 will get it. And what the i9000 gets, we get.
Also, while not entirely stable, CM7 is working on the Captivate, and that's gingerbread.
i doubt it going to be phased out that quick. Keep note, the phone is still less than a year old and a powerhouse in terms of performance.
Tegra 2 GPU performance is still just about on par with the GPU in the Galaxy S phones. Only thing is that it has dual-core for faster regular computing.
There are already leaked builds of the Galaxy S gingerbread.
And yes, CM7 has a fairly stable build of gingerbread AOSP for the Captivate. Im running it currently and its pretty darn good. Keep in mind its AOSP and built from the group up pretty much by the ppl over at Cyanogen and doesn't have a single trace of Touchwiz which is awesome.

Nice. Rig.
Well it makes sense... Why would they keep making new Captivates/Vibrants/Fascinates/Epic 4Gs/Nexus S' when they're just about to release their Galaxy S 2 phones which are MUCH better? They have tons of stock already out there, so I bet they've already stopped production on these phones awhile ago.
Also, they mentioned about a week ago or so that all Galaxy S phones will be getting Gingerbread... The update problem wasn't because of Samsung, it was the carriers holding them back, everyone else in the world got their Froyo update months ago, the US was the last to get it.
About the upcoming galaxy s 2, is it going to be available for at&t or are we on att gonna get stuck with the infuse which only has a single core processor.

I recall reading somewhere that Samsung is planning on doing the same with the Galaxy S 2 as they did with the current Galaxy S phones, have them on all carriers with slight hardware differences and different names. So if that's the case, you'll have a version of the Galaxy S 2 available on AT&T... Trying to dig up the article where I read that, will update this post when I do.
That's makes sense that they'll do that. But on samsungs website it shows that the infuse is coming to att which I believe only has a single core processor the hummingbird. So that will be a little bit of a bummer.

Do you have a link to this? It would be an interesting read...
Tmo stopped selling the Vibrant as soon as the 4g came out, so I bet the cappy will be done for when the infuse is out.
Since it took almost 9 mos to get the Froyo update - I would suspect we will never see a Gingerbread update for our phones.

CM7 doesn't use the leaked i9000 version.. It's built from the official Nexus S sources, with tons of hand-crafting to get it to work properly on the Galaxy S line.

New to GT8.9...To Do & Not To Do.

Hello guys...
I'm new to this forum and new to Galaxy Tab. 8.9 and new to Android system.
The tab is at home and I didn’t even unpack it.
I'm kind of a person that likes to explore and change setting and stuff.
The first thing in my mind now is to boot the tab and update Android version, as I think it comes with 3.0 version and I guess there was an update came on after that.
But from your experience as 8.9 owners and once you were new to it.
What things should I do to it? update what? Disable what? Charging maybe? Tweak sensitivity? [if there is a feature like that!].
What not to change? not to delete? not to disable?
Any tip will be appreciated and it will definitely be new to me as a person never had an Android device and leaving iphone soon for a Samsung device
Which tab do you have?

It is Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9, Wi-Fi.
Where to start...
An OTA (Over the Air) update is a good start as 3.2 is the latest and 4.0 Ice cream sandwich is on the way.
Out of the box, the Galaxy tab is very good without customization. I'd spend my time getting used to the interface and putting my main info on Widgets and syncing everything. There is so much to customize. You will soon learn what you like and what annoys. From there, you can look at some of the things you don't like and tweak. I would leave rooting till a little later just till you get used to things and ics is coming soon. Good idea to see stock issues first but Xda is a great source of info if you want to go down that path.

1) root it (see the XDA forum, it's all perfectly explained there)
2) install cwm
3) backup stock rom
4) install Overcome, or one of the two ICS roms
5) setcpu, auto memory killer, voodoo screen utility
6) have fun

Fyi the wifi version is only Android 3.1. There is no OTA update for 3.2. I'm hoping we get ICS soon but I'm not holding my breath.

No need to be disappointed. Samsung's devs are running at full pace to roll out ICS for dozens of devices. I'm sure they're doing their best. ICS was just released a couple months ago!

I know it's not really quick and easy but don't forget manufacturers received early versions of the source around May (when it was officially announced). In all honestly I was mostly hoping for 3.2 since I've heard it helps performance but it would be really nice to get a date for ICS.
Strange. I am using a tab 8.9 wifi and I did get the 3.2 update OTA. Actually, it arrived instantly when I started using my device a few weeks ago.

Not actually strange. The US region (yes, Sammy releases ROMs in a region basis) hasn't received official 3.2 as of this day, but most of Europe has already, along with other regions (Asia for example). I really dislike how they manage updates. Thankfully we have devs on our side. I can't imagine being stuck with 3.1 firmware.

Does a changelog between 3.1 and 3.2 exist? I am also still on 3.1, and I have no real complaints... Plus I read some people had problems with 3.2, so I will wait for ICS.

If you are asking specifically for a Samsung changelog, then no. Good luck obtaining an answer from them apart from "improves stability and performance". Problems with 3.2 are mostly user error.

I received 3.2 two days ago (as a matter of fact when I bought and started the Tab) - I'm in New York and got it OTA. You have to be registered with Samsung in order to get it.
It makes a very large difference for the better in responsiveness and scrolling.

Galaxy S i9000 Getting an Official 4.0.5 ICS?

im not pretty sure about this but i read some things about this 4.0.5 and it was said it was going to be released on i9000
4.0.5 said to be has a BIG performance fix..
i got this news from this link
http://www.androiddigit.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-and-nexus-s-to-get-android-4-0-5-ics-in-march/
Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S
The news link clearly states only the galaxy nexus and nexus S. Plus it was abundantly made clear in older news posts around the net that the i9000 is not getting ICS and neither will it get the rumored Value pack. As I too am a i9000 user, it kinda sucks to know this
i know samsung said something like that...
but.. dude i think theres a big possibility due to this
Performance FIX thing.. because thats the only one stopping from galaxy S to ICS is Performance..
I'm no great shake on what appears to me to be French, but...
1) Your Article was written for the Nexus and Nexus S and not for the GT-I900Xx (a.k.a the Galaxy S)
2) Where the Article in question even mentions the Galaxy S (Some Table taken from a presumably French source), states quite clearly (even to a non French speaker like myself that the Galaxy S is to only get Android 2.3.6 (Presumably the Value Pack Version), release date February 2012 to be released over Kies.
To indirectly quote your Source it was a table of Official Updates for their current line of Phones.
So I fail to see where you misread this Article into thinking that the Galaxy S was somehow going to get an ICS Update, when Samsung have up to this point stressed that they would not, or could not officially update the GT-I900Xx do to whatever limitations between Touchwiz 3.0 and ICS.
**Edit** What Samsung we're not even gonna get the Value Pack now?
/r/ Sauce kthnxbye!
No chance! Wishful thinking at best. SGS is useless with its 512mb RAM. Either that or the software engineers at Samsung can only compile bloat. The latest iOS seems to function perfectly on iphone4 though. Split between whether i should wait for SGS3 or grab the next iphone and jailbreak the hell outta it. Hmm decisions decisions...

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Samsung might forget us, but XDA devs won't! And if the unofficial ICS builds are any indication, our phone sure is powerful enough to handle ICS.
It sure does suck that we're not getting official ICS, but the awesome community here has infinitely improved my experience, so for that I'm glad and grateful.
Like Samsung is going to go trough the trouble of making an ICS version for a phone that is almost two years old.
I'd rather have them focus on creating top-notch software for my next phone..... The SGSIII......

[Q] What about ports from Note2 and Note3?

HI all,
So Samsung has decided that we won't get any more updates, which means no official 4.3 for us, which is a bit disappointing but can't say I was surprised.
However I was thinking, how come no one is porting the Samsung 4.3 firmware from Note2 or Note3 to our original Note? Would this even be possible and is it something that might happen in the near future?
Many thanks for your comments.

What is taking Samsung so long to update to LP 5.1.1 ?

I heard that LP 5.1.1 is the most stable. We are stuck in 5.0.2 on Note 4. So is my Tab S. So is my Alpha phone. All at 5.0.2
Why is Samsung so slow? I think they might have abandoned us.
Samsung screw up on Note 5 and all the updates are slow.
Its a bad company.
It's not Samsung. They updated. The update is now with US carriers. They are holding it up. Sprint, I believe, already pushed the 5.1.1 update to their phones a couple weeks ago.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
I heard from an a distant uncles girlfriend, second cousins best friends brother we should be getting it very soon.
There are a few 5.1.1 custom roms available. But if you are not rooted or you need T-Mobile features, you'll have to wait for T-Mobile to push the update.
Best decision I ever made was to install a custom rom. I currently have 5.1.1 and do not have to deal with the ever slowing TouchWiz. After StageFright was announce the very next day the developer of the rom i'm currently using patched it up, the only downside is I did have to sacrifice Wi-Fi calling but soon enough Android M will come out and that will fix it.
geez cant you wait, you see the C is getting the update, and then you make unnecessary threads about the update, just be patient..
if you cant wait, ill buy your note 4 for 200$ :victory:

Been using PopRocks v10x and it is amazing, fast and stable. ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...procks-rom-v1-tw-rom-bases-tmo-stock-t3096286 ). Now if you want to try 5.1.1 there are many choices to choose from and can recommend them all.
Just me, but I think Samsung is in no hurry to push it 5.1.1. I guess there mentality is if they (note 4)users want 5.1.1, buy a note 5, which for me it ain't happening.
My note 4 came with 5.1.1. There should be a few customs floating around, such as TekXodus.
Samsung and the note 5 is very disappointed. I will stay on Note 4
FUN FACT:
Tmobile already has 5.1.1 and it is installed on Note 4s with the SM-N910T3. You can buy it in the store right now or warranty your phone and get it. Both of those options will be faster than waiting for the carrier to release it.
Tmobile gets a thumb down for this move. Uncarry that update Uncarrier.
5.1.1 makes this phone fly i got the sprint version . Battery life gets alot better to and fixes all the bugs. Hope you guys get it soon or start porting it from the sprint version. We have a s6 edge + rom with note 5 extras running 5.1.1 and it makes the phone feel like a new phone working theme store and all
