Who has gotten 4.3 on the Sprint Galaxy Note 2?
- Thread starter wburleson
- Start date
Been waiting for what seems like forever for the 4.3 update on my Note 2. Have had it on my Nexus tablet for a while and love it. Still no update sent from Sprint so this morning I checked the forum and you wonderful people had the Kies update listed. Worked perfectly! Looking forward to someone posting a rooted somewhere. Thanks a million!!

To my knowledge and understanding it's the same one. I spent most of yesterday testing everything and thus far it's incredible no conflicts or issues. I've also had a remarkable increase on reception to the network as well as my wifi. And can finally use Google Now without battery drain.

I am thinking the versions are not the same. The Baseband version on the Sprint site does not match the Kies update. And some folks are saying some Note 3 functionality is missing. Could someone who updated via OTA confirm their Baseband number? Were apps like S Note updated as part of the update? Is the Air Command function there following an OTA update?
Still waiting here in Northern Va. Went to a Best Buy and Sprint store and they both just looked at my phone and said its up to date and that whenever their was an update i would get a text that one was available..

I did the Kies update and don't see where to enable air command. Did it come the ota only or does the Kies version have it?

From everything I'm seeing the Galaxy Note 2 will not receive Air Command with the 4.3 upgrade. It may be released in the future but not with this particular upgrade.

Another dumb question. How do you download 4.3 through kies. Since from what I read there not gonna update through air.

If you have Kies already installed on your pc, it should recognize immediately that there is an update once you hook your phone via USB. I did have to upgrade to Kies 3.0 however.

Download for your system type.
Plug in your phone and Kies will detect the device. It will automatically tell you there's a new version for the phone and ask if you want to install it.

I got tired of waiting for the OTA. Used Kies instead. Just make sure you uninstall it if you have a Mac. It breaks Android File Transfer. Kies worked fine.

Received it OTA last night at 11:30 pm Pacific time. Nothing but problems since the upgrade. Most apps crash and won't work. I think having to do a factory reset after a service update is BS. I'm on sprint in California.
In response to the versions not being the same since I had the same question before I went ahead and did the Kies update from Samsung anyway, bako88fan, just posted his/her screen shot of the OTA download he/she received and the build number is the same as the one I installed from via Kies from Samsung.

Maybe I overlooked something but it seemed to me most everything else matched as well. Only note of difference is that bako88 notes problems. I thankfully have had none as yet.

Anyone having issues with S Note following the Kies update? The app will launch but crashes a few second after opening. Hoping to avoid a factory reset.
:-( No, sorry I haven't experienced that. Wish I could be of help. Have you tried going back to the 4.1 build and then reinstalling?

Not ready to attempt a reload or reset. It's my work device. I will consider my options. Thanks.
