What do you think guys? Could samsung update our Note too? Or the incomplete and horrible battery optimized "official" jelly bean was the last update?. I think the last update will be Key Lime Pie, then the Cyannogen team will keep our phone alive for some time...
Sorry my bad english!

I guess there's no way we will see that update. I really hope im wrong, but we can thank god for having jellybean, knowing samsung...

And if we are lucky to see that update from Samsung on our Galaxy Note, then it will be after the Galaxy Note 3 is out.
I'm pretty sure on that.

Or it can be the same as with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4
We all know that 4.0.3 was like "beta" but 4.0.4 solved the issue. Let's home that our new 4.0.4 will be 4.2.1

I'm actually still trying to get a full working JB update on my phone (some laggs, etc... compared to a LG Optimus L9 which I got of my contract yesterday my Note with 4.1 seems to be working on Froyo... And the LG is on ****ing 4.0 on which my Note seemed to be on 1.0 compared to that speed... Why can't Samsung just do it right like LG? Actually trying to sell the LG though^^)
But I surely hope that we will se 4.2 on our Note. 5.0 Would be pretty amazing for Samsung... If the Note 1 gets 5.0 I will wait to buy a new phone. My plans were to buy the Note 3. But if my Note gets 5.0 I see no reason why... I love 16:10, 5.3", etc... 16:9 just sucks imho...
But if we think about it, it is already amazing that the S2 and even the old S1 (Advanced) got some Beans... Maybe it is not impossible for the Note to get at least one major update like 4.2... I'm really excited to see what Google will show us on the I/O about Android 5...

Oh, No. For God's sake, Not again.

Google are supporting handset makers with 4.2.1 in a way they haven't with previous upgrades, so chances are slightly better than normal. I wonder if this has anything to do with 4.2.1 crippling most ad-blockers...

I heard galaxy note will skip 4.2.1 and jumps to 4.2.2 lol jk! even the nexus10 struggles to 4.2.2

Which is why "officially" you'll probably not see 5.0 on the Note1. Two reasons, hardware probably can't keep up, and the main reason, it
would go against their bottom line. They sell hardware, and if they keep adding features, making the original better, faster stronger, why would anyone bother to purchase a new one? Same thing for a carrier locked version. Keep it at the old level long enough, and when people come into a store complaining, push them into a new one, extend the contract, and do that over and over again.

Airtel is trolling it's customers, I think. Guys who have the Galaxy y and Galaxy r are getting the same message :silly:

[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.

I think most galaxy device will receive kitkat, as google state that 4.4 will run smoothly on old low price phone..
I think all the eyes is looking for kitkat why you ask for 4.3?

Ya...ya...you should asking for android 5.0 to..

That was a joke?
GNote is actually dead to them, 4.4 will be released only for GS4,GN3 and others new phones

Android 5.0

Just read this online. French carrier, SFR has revealed the release date for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5, and LG G3. Sorry don't know how to paste a link.

January. Not too bad I guess.

But S5 already start receiving 5.0 update in Poland
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app

Is anyone else annoyed that the S5 is getting the update first?
Note 4 is the companies most latest phone . I expected it to get lollipop first or at least in parallel with the S5. Feel really cheated. I upgraded from my Note 2 to my Note 4 because I understand newer devices get the latest firmwares first and here a 6 month old phone is getting the update first. I guess it because the S5 is more common right?
Anyway very annoyed why should I go and get the latest hardware if its going to be shuffled aside and not get updated first

I wouldn't be too butthurt over a ~4 week wait. The core functionality of your phone will remain fundamentally the same once you upgrade anyway.
And yes, I do believe it's because the S series is considered more mainstream than the Note line.

as an owner of... well every samsung because i'm an addict, i can explain why.
1. The S5 had poor sales. They want to kick up its popularity and 'apologise' to owners of it by letting them get 5.0 first
2. The note 4 is the only samsung to get 4.4.4 - so it makes sens to get the update last of the modern phones, as its already ahead.
3. it means we get it after the S5 owners work out all the bugs, right now they cant get root working reliably, and no mods or deodexing are even possible.

SEARCH first before post!!!

The same thing happened with note 3, Poland an update really early. Then kitkat was given to DBT. Its just a matter of time. There is no need to rush it.

Mod Edit
As has been mentioned , Lollipop thread is here:

Notes from Note 4

Mine arrived a few days ago, but not yet sure the battery life is improved.

N910C Update..?

Most other variants including N910F and N910G seem to have received BOE update while N910C lags behind. Last update BOC5 has a build date of march 2015. It's really annoying that the Note 4 in general isn't getting the treatment it deserves. Specially the N910C. Other exynos variants seem to have received it.

Any special improvements in those updates that you need or is it just that you need to have the latest version?

Actually both! 5.0.1 isn't a smooth lollipop update already. Of special concern to me is the overheating isuue. And then there's the flashaholic inside ?

BOD2/BOE2 arent too much different than the BOC5 update. They are newer builds since they were compiled later than the N910C ones but that doesn't mean they're more stable than BOC5. You just need to wait. There's a lot of time until your device gets obsolete for Samsung and his 18 months of updates policy.

Samsung was busy with Galaxy S6/Edge 6, and now they are busy with Note 5, and after Note 5 they will be busy with Galaxy S7.
Samsung is so busy, there is no time for Note 4, remember they already got your money, so you are not important to them anymore ............................ WELCOME TO SAMSUNG GREEDY WORLD.
If you are looking for stable faster updates cycle then try any other OEM other than Samsung like HTC, Motorola or even LG.
For me I feel really sorry that I got Note 4, I though Samsung will deal with me like a King and send me fast updates & others will envy me, but they sent me BOC5 with bugs & issues, and then Samsung went directly to fix Galaxy S6 issues and forgot about other Smartphones.

Downloding BOE1 right now for the 910c. :good: Hoping samsung will skip 5.1 and jump straight to android M.

Well it's generally agreed upon that you get 18 months of support and updates. While with samsung i got ONE buggy unoptimized update in 7 months!!
With every other OEM having phablets at 5.7" or more. Samsung is definitely not my next android phone vendor.
But again that's just passive-aggressive. I want my ****ing stable lollipop Updates!! If anyone knows is there anything we can do?

Don't think samsung is planning on updating the note 4 to 5.1 with 5.2 being announced in a couple of weeks. At least it should solve some of the minor bugs in lollipop.

Should've been working on it for a while, my friend. 5.1 has been out a month ago or something

Please use one of the existing firmware discussion threads. No need for a new one.
