So you received 2 separate text messages on 2 totally different dates? Did they both say the same thing?
AT&T Free Msg: The Samsung Galaxy Note upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is now available! This OS update supports enhanced performance and user interface plus other device improvements. To download, open this link from your PC (not your phone) and follow the prompts: samsung.com/us/attgalaxynote/update

Yea that's what it said. From what Samsung told me it was error on the carrier side. But did give a hint that multi view is on the way. Guess the petition did some good

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

But what about all that content AT&T offers? How would we LIVE without it? /sarcasm
I totally agree, I wish Google enforced an osap release for every device with manufacturers so we'd have the option of vanilla or a manufacturer custom rom. Like that would ever happen lol

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.

I actually thought it meant, "Our original ICS version had at least 1 major bug that we discovered when testing in real-world situations and we aren't going to release it until it is ready for everyone."
Of course, they could have also meant, "At least one of our 'content partners' (who are paying big bucks to get their advertisement disguised as an application inserted into our release) hasn't actually sent in their app yet and we aren't going to release it until it is monefied for everyone."
LOL im so surprised people are surprised by lack of updates from telus/rogers/bell
we may get most phones before the usa, but we pay for it with our carriers holding back updates

who says you have to have or keep that stuff? root is there for a reason
throw on one of the highly debloated roms in the dev section based off LE2 leak.
or go one further and put one of the aosp based roms on there and be gone with all the ATT and Samsung bloat

I don't like AOSP ROMs, I was using OnlyOne HYFR B4, and it still has those AT&T things in Wi-Fi settings, and carrier name on the status bar.
Actually they were not big deal but it had some kind of bug, when I try installing an app from APK file, I can click "Cancel" but I can't click "Install".
So, I will be staying on rooted stock Gingerbread ROM with the holoNote kernel and wait for official ICS from TELUS.
Wow that's rediculous.....

This kind of BS is why I almost got the Galaxy Nexus instead of the Note since Samsung is so ****ty at providing OS upgrades for anything that isn't a Nexus device (due to Google). Add the typical carrier delay on top of that..

I'm confused. Gnex already came with ICS loaded in Canada??? That's what the sales rep at Rogers were telling me. She also said G Note is getting its ICS update in March.
So did she lie to me twice?

Gnex is ICS out of the box.
@JamieD81, we're in the same boat with bricked N7000's. I bought another N7000 with a cracked screen just for the motherboard, since the only place to get N7000's fixed is in Europe. Plus I went thru 3 mainboards on my I9000M. I still buy Sammie's crap, but I'm being a little more careful about flashing roms now. I'm waiting until the official rom is released, and played with enough before I throw my i717 on the line this time.

Oh well not the worst thing in the world at least we have leaks but maybe on the 12th we could see if the s2 X official ics modem will work with our phone for better hspa speeds as I'm sure allot of people on Telus don't have LTE available
Edit: S2X ICS was released today ahead of schedule before an ATT or T-Mobile release, so the future is looking friendly (<-- see what I did there)
They updated the schedule !

Are you serious? There are so many places that fixes phones in Vancouver/Richmond for a decent price.

Account Hacked

So last week I kept receiving texts from AT&T on 10/26 ,asking me how was my replacement device and to make sure I return my old phone. I ignored them because , my pops was robbed at gun point on 10/20 and I was assuming that he used my line or something to replace his, since we're on a family plan together. But after talking to him and finding out that he went to the store and purchased another phone out of pocket, I finally go online and check my account and low and behold there was not just one, but TWO CLAIMS! One on 10/18 and then another one on 10/22, just four days later for a total of $398.00!
So after calling AT&T and Asurion insurance company for about three days and finding out that they shipped the phones to Fort Worth , Texas and Justin, Texas....WHEN I LIVE IN FORT LAUDERDALE ,FLORIDA! I finally got the charges reversed , me personally I do not see how you can approve of two claims within 4 days? And then today I get a call from a close friend of mine who also has a Note that he also received false claims on his account on the same two dates the 10/18 and 10/22 and both phones where shipped to somewhere in Texas too! So now we're both trying to figure out how in the hell did this happen, the only thing we have in common is we both run custom ROMS on our Notes FJ UCLF6 and I'm not in anyway saying that was or is the problem, but just that's the only thing we have that connects us.And he says that he never calls AT&T about his account from his phone, but I do.
All I can say is watch your accounts and make sure there's a extra password on your account!

Question..When you called asking about the claims..Did you ask for the addresses were they were shipping the phones to? Since it was your account they should release the info as of where they shipped them exactly? once you get that adress you can call the local authorities there and talk to a detective regarding that?

Once I told them that I didn't make the claims, they refused to tell me the address , just the city and state. They claim that they're going to blacklist the phones and they would handle the investigation as far as notifying the proper authority.

What would make you think its an inside job? Just because AT&T corporate headquarters is in Dallas and the fraud phones were shipped to a Fort Worth address?? I'm sure that's merely a co-incidence :angel:
BTW the gestures security issue was infact that screenshots could be taken without the users knowledge. I'm not saying that's what got your account hacked but it is possible.
The gesture security was really a minor issue. PA's dev left XDA because the issue was made to be alot bigger than what it really was.
In any case, inside job is definitely possible. AT&T may try to blacklist the phones, which I highly suspect that they can actually do, but these phones are unlocked and sold to Europe and Asia.

What does this have to do with PA? The problem was also in Cyanogen.
And I don't see what any of this has to do with passwords, being hacked, etc... All paranoid conjecture.

1.29 update

Is it possible to install the 1.29 update on an ATT HTC One? Would I require an unlocked bootloader to do that? Are there repercussions I should be aware of?
You can flash any International ROM once you're unlocked/rooted/custom recovery. All of which are most likely based on .29 WWE firmware.

If your reason for flashing is because the camera and beats improvements. There's no need. The att firmware shipped with the improvements.

Well that is pretty disappointing considering my pictures have horrible over exposure still with any kind of bright light or the sky. The 1.26 to 1.29 images from the PocketNow test are vastly improved. My AT&T One still looks like the pre-updated international firmware pics.

The whole point of having software versioning in increasing order is to correspond to new developments. I have hard time believing the camera, beats and any other "improvements" made in 1.29 is in AT&T's 1.26.
Surely if this were true someone would have some proof. Let's see it?

Doesn't require anything special. Just takes them getting the tuning right. Then they bring the intl version up to date. Hence them getting different version. Remember they released first.

Why not. Do you know how product cycles work? They just don't make all the phones at one time... Theres the pre production phones which were at the announcement and early reviewers. Then they would of started the intl version production soon after if not it was already done. If they decided to make an adjustment during the making of the intl ONE it's easier to continue the product run and fix with a ota than it is start all over... US versions have to be picked over before production. So they would of had time to tweak software.
So no it's not naive. Saying there's no way is naive .

Personally I rather one of our smart forum members to give is the 411 on the different binaries within the firmware. As I have said before, the proof is there.

Where is our update to 1.29?

With all the of 4.2 coming out where is the 1.29 update?
I just want the battery enhancement ans camera upgrade.
Anyone with some insider info can give us a glimmer of hope?

Yeah took a quick glance. I need something more reliable. With Roms it's which one has the features working you like. I prefer official I think.
Thanks but I believe I'll pass in the Roms for now. In that scenario any update info?

Sprint got theirs a while ago. Don't forget it helps with capacitive buttons.

Indeed 4.1.2 and 1.27.531.7 is what we are stuck with....
Just called T-Mobile and the woman saw nothing about the updates in their system...
She said if you can download the update and apply it from HTC's website that would work, but rooting and using different software would break the warranty.

I just checked the HTC site and there are no downloads for the TMO phone.
head on over to t-mo's forum and let them know you want your flagship top of the line phone updates available when they hit 2.0 / 4.2.2

According to the t-mobile reps they aren't waiting for anything. They have no plan or course of action or announcement.

The rep would not know anything except an update currently in the pipeline, that is, already heading our way. Only someone at Tmo corporate headquarters would know the strategic deployment strategy, and they do not talk. TMO tends to release updates later than other companies.
t-mobile tends to release updates not at all...
a few years ago my smartphone was updated for all carriers except t-mobile. everyone went up an android version while I did not.
who cares how much difference it makes... t-mobile is clearly lazier about updating than other companies and need a push to do so.

Well, for my Amaze 4G, they released the upgrade to ICS after about 5 months. And then very recently they did another upgrade, which would be almost a year later. But that first major update wasn't that late.
The way I look at it, if you're using these forums, you shouldn't have to wait for carrier updates. HTC did announce that an update is in the works.

true that, the more I think about this the more I think I might as well just root the damned thing and say screw the warranty... its not like I woul ever pay for that PHP plan...
I'm skeptica stable a custom Rom would be that also allows me to keep my Wi-Fi calling

This is simply not true. Take the Galaxy S2 for example. They updated 3 times...Froyo-->GB-->ICS--JB.

Thats how every phone needs to be updated

Official - the 4.4.2 update - discussion thread

There's a leaked Samsung Android 4.4 schedule on the net and it points to January for the S4 and N3. Going by the title at the top of the screenshot/picture it's the international variant S4/N3. US will be even longer. I'm quite pissed about this as these are the flagship devices and should be upgraded MUCH sooner. Thoughts?
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...xy-s-4-and-note-3-s-iii-and-note-ii-by-april/
Anybody complaining about non nexus devices not getting updates instantly have clearly not been paying attention the last 3 years. January is earlier than I would have predicted.

Not sure how big of a deal KitKat really will be,...
I installed some of the newer files [Email, Calendar, QuickOffice] from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2506623
To get some of the newer available apps, but moving to 4.4 washes away the hard work that Devs [Hashcode, beans, and Hyper] have already invested into 4.3.
I find Root and ROMs much more beneficial than the OS,....for now. De-bloating and customization is key!!
4.4 literally brings no new Ingenuity or function.
give me a break; give me a break; don't break me off a piece of that kit kat rom.

That's not entirely true, it does bring host card emulation to allow NFC devices without a secure element to use Google Wallet.

Doesn't 4.4 officially have like emojis integrated through the entire system? I could have sworn that's what I could have sworn I read. If it's true, that's enough for me to want the update :thumbup:

4.4 also allows you to record what your screen is doing natively. That is actually pretty awesome for helping give instructions on how to install etc.

Maybe they will mess up and leave some sort of exploit in the kernel or something so we can start flashing kernels and recoveries on this thing. Im starting to miss AOSP after a few weeks without my Note 2.....

We are trying to get Eclipse for our Note 3. He has aosp features added into the TW. There's a thread in general section if you are interested should check it out.

Still isn't the same as having a bootloader bypass or unlock to truly run aosp.. heck we'd already be on kit kat if we had this that's where i will donate my funds to.

Never buy a locked device expecting aosp. Always assume a locked bootloader will remain that way.

Are you kidding? ART is potentially huge. I'd rather Samsung skip over 4.3 and go straight to 4.4 for this reason.

I really had to think about it when I chose to get the Note 3, but I figure the features on this phone are pretty amazing, and the way its looking is that phones will mostly be locked in the future. ATT is locking theirs, Verizon is locking theirs, Im sure the rest will follow. If two out of the four major US carriers are doing this, there is a good chance that someone will find a way around it. For the time being, we have Hashcode who has found away around the lock for the most part. We just need to get something like Loki or KEXEC working.
My other option was to keep a phone that has outdated resolution, software and hardware..... I had the Note 2 for a year and was ready to move on.

That part was for my Note 2. :cyclops:
We have no one to blame but ourselves. We accept the fact that the US carriers bend us over the barrel and do what they want to us. We accept it everyday by using their services, paying their crazy stupid prices and by accepting their restrictive contracts. Anyone who expects a US Wireless Carrier to offer an update let alone a Samsung update within a reasonable time frame is simply crazy.
The only reason the HTC One is getting it so fast is . . . well they don't have many phones to actually update or are worth updating so they have to keep pushing updates out to stay relevant. Of course the HTC one didn't get 4.2.2 we got stuck with 4.1.2 until we got 4.3. Of course I gave up on my HTC One long ago.

Screen recording requires a PC attachment.
