This is what I've learned so far..

This is why a accurate and comprehensive change log is crucially important to anyone wanting to know the correct functionality of their GN2.
You can always consult Samsung's current user manual for the AT&T Note 2, revised for 4.1.2. Unfortunately, it doesn't list changes from the previous software. But it does say what the current software should be doing.
Could you be kind enough to place a link to it here on this thread please.
According to others posting and doing you tube reviews some of the listed items as changeable were disabled by AT&T. The above apparently is incorrect by virtue of what AT&T Didn't allow. This is why a accurate and comprehensive change log is crucially important to anyone wanting to know the correct functionality of their GN2.
I got that off a Samsung official website.
I purchased a phone with a expectation of a specific feature set being implemented.
Where do I find the new group cast feature?
I agree with you that a changelog would be helpful. But as far as I know, every feature advertised or documented at the time of purchase was implemented then, and every feature currently advertised or documented is currently implemented.
Comparing the old and new versions of the user manual shows that Multi Window is the only newly documented feature.
Gary, prior to the update I could not run a HD you tube without serious buffering occurring. After the update, they run flawlessly without any buffering. Same place, same location, same everything. The only difference is the update. While I am thankful, I'd like to know how this happened.
Also, my Battery time is not what it was prior to the update. Their have been numerous people here on the forum who have made a similar comment about their battery times post update.
*New Group Cast Application
Some things I've noticed and see if there is any clarification. I updated mine to 4.1.2 yesterday and have noticed the following:
1. I do not have an option to change Notification toggles.
2. I do not have an option to remove brightness slider.
3. I have always had the ink option on the lock screen, even before 4.1.2
4. I now have multi-view, finally.
So why am I getting half of an update here?
One cool feature is in the camera settings, you can now make the volume rocker take the picture.
For some reason AT&T sees it as a good idea to include this on the S3 but not the Note 2 4.1.2 or 4.1.2; unless I'm missing somethnig
#1 & #2, AT&T Removed those options
#3. The ink is bigger and you can change the color of the ink
#4. Took long enough. Even though AT&T does not allow all apps, I was able to modify the apps to make it work with 99% of them.
