Finally i got the move to sd card fun. un jelly bean series ony note 2 after update
Any one from india got the update?
Why my lock screen options in 4.3 are disabled in settings. I can't change it as they are grayed. Could someone help me on this.
please back up all your data and do a factory data reset so that there is no cached files and corrupt and broken files present while the update is installed.After the update again do a reset and you phone will give you the desired results. My note 2 after updating using the above procedure giving me the same backup as 4.1 and no lags and all the advantages of 4.3. Happy now. That's the way to update. This is the way of updating followed in service centers.Ram usage 650 to 900 mb. Display has bettered and video player has improved a lot. Good notification bar and tabbed settings update. Good job samsung. The only thing that's troubling is Google malware like google movies, play games , play books etc. which is eating my internal storage. No Note 3 functions expecting the same in future updates. Good job samsung now awiting Kitkat.

After using the 4.3 for a day, I am listing down the things that I noticed.
1. No lags
2. Memory usage has increased. Previously about 700mb was used after killing all apps. Now about 1gb is used. During normal operation, about 1.3 to 1.4 gb is used.
3. Battery drain is more, compared to previous version. Previously, draining the battery within a day needed some effort. Now this seems to be pretty easy :( . I think, (not sure) that the display is eating up more battery. During screen off, the usage seems to be OK. Will update on this later.
4. Local languages are added to the keyboard. Now you can type Hindi and other local languages without installing 3rd party apps. Changing the language by swiping over the space bar is super cool.
5. Settings are now tabbed.
6. Developer options are now hidden. You have to enable it. (Google if you don't know how)
7. Notification panel is translucent.
8. New theme for Gallery, music and video apps.
9. Default image shown for contacts is new. I liked the old one.
10. Knox and gear apps needs to be installed separately.
11. Light effect is added in screen unlock animation. Even the ripple effect seems to be smoother than 4.1 version.
12. Lock screen widgets and multiple lock screens are introduced.
13. sound is louder while playing music
14. sound speaker not clear will it ring
15. camera zoom in zoom out with volume key dont work
Gr888 update. Just took exactly one hour for the OTA update...Battery life has improved a lot....and the keyboard with the additional languages like Hindi and Marathi are gr888..
There is just one problem nt able to modify the lock screen ....
Hi all, yesterday I wrote about the increased ram usage after the update. So I decided to do a factory reset. Here are the results after that.
1. The ram usage has decreased. Now around 850mb to 900mb is used after killing all apps. During normal usage, around 1.2gb is used.
2. Battery drains faster, compared to 4.1. I strongly feel that the screen is the culprit. But don't panic. For normal usage, it will last for a day, thanks to the big battery.
3. UI is smoother after the factory reset. Didn't face any slow down till now.
Please let me know if any of you need any clarification.
dose anyone from US got the update ?
do't update make ur mobile slow......use more ram......4.1.2 was better
Has anyone done the update, and a factory reset?
Can someone juts tell us how it is, with a clean, proper made update?
Jesus, if you have 250 apps and write a significant update over that amount of cached files and data and corupted and broken files. Ar you seriously expecting good performance?
EVERYONE in complaining about RAM usage, but I saw a N7105 on youtube with the same official update, that was actually using LESS RAM than before.
Update is not available in my country yet, that's why I don't do it myself.
Dipesh, 21 Nov 2013hey friends I tried to update my note 2 yesterday its was downloading the update of 4.3 from p... moreU should update it through kies on laptop or pc.. try it once..
had all the three notes with me, but sold note1 2 days back. i want to say,although not1 didnt had great ram management, i loved note1 over note2( j.b 4.3)over many reasons.
in my opinion, either wait for next update from samsung or revert back to 4.1.2as i am doing.
and people facing app drawer redraw, just go to settings app manager, and disable "favourite contacts" and "favourite settings" restart. problem is gone.
varad, 21 Nov 2013sir can u tell me how to update via kies
Download Kies from Samsung site (or you can Google it).
Once installed, connect your phone to the computer and check for Firmware updates. You can then go ahead and download the update for your Note 2.
True.. the RAM consumes a lot.. i have around 250 apps incl. games, before it was displaying around 700, but now 980 to 1GB RAM. they say improved RAM but it lag.
Now the memory storage shows (internal) as 16GB max, where as before was around 10gb, this is good.
yes, battery life is almost the same.
I really dont like the Video gallery, it is plain and background is white. earlier it was good, with all video playing. that function is unavailable in this 4.3.
Other than change of Icons nothing,. i expected New Themes, but nothing special than the Default Ring tone has changed.
Perhaps, KITKAT will be better.
Updated my Note 2 with latest 4.3 software OTA... i dont find anything exciting... shame on Samsung.. will never buy a Samsung phone in future... I hated the Camera UI which is not changed at all but only added sound & Shot feature which is not so useful. It only satisfies that the phone has latest 4.3 software thats it.. dont buy samsung next time guys.. they have no value for their esteemed customers.. even ppl who buy note 3 will feel same when note 4 will come... samsung sucks big time..
For some of those in India who arent yet getting the update thru OTA .. just connect ur phone thru ur PC on Samsung Kies and click firmware upgrade.
