Samsung will soon roll out the Android 4.3 update for its popular Samsung Galaxy Note 2 handset. Those using the Note 2 handset will be able to update it over the air. As per reports some service centres in India have already received the updates.
I am using the Galaxy Note 2 and I did check up with one of the service centre, for now they do not have the update but it seems its gradually been rolled out. Probably all of the service centres will have it before the OTA updates. You can check up with the nearest service centre and get it update or wait for the update notification on your Note 2 handset for OTA updates.
With note 2 running android 4.3 it will automatically become compatible with the Samsung Galaxy gear Smart-watch, that for now works on Samsung Galaxy note 3 running Jelly Bean 4.3. Probably after the 4.3 update on the Note 2 some of you might get tempted to buy the Galaxy Gear Smart-watch.
There are other Samsung handsets like the Galaxy S4 designated for this 4.3 update.

I recently got 4.3 update on my Samsung Note 2 (N7100). I am pretty disappointed with issues like
– phone is hanging – mostly when i receive a call/missed call
– Battery is getting discharged much quicker
I have reset my Phone to factory default, still the same issue. I need to visit samsung support center now..
It is so annoying to have this problem for a 30K phone.. 🙁

after the new update, stability update. . galaxy grand does not hang anymore

Dear Gogi,
Can we get 4.3 kitkat for Galaxy Grand ???
Bala
4.3 is Jelly Bean… 4.4 is KitKat…
Grand has very little chance of getting 4.4 update…
if it does then well & good… 😀
milan
4.3 is called jelly bean and 4.4 is kitkat.. a big difference :p

Hi Gogi,
Just had a Live chat with Samsung CC and they have confirmed that as of now no 4.3 update is launched for Note II in India and they could not giver any timeline as well.
Gogi Rana
Its not rolled out yet, some service centers have got the update.

Great news for Note 2 owners….4.3 is a Mick needed boost the note 2 is aging a lot.And you will get many of the new hover features which are pretty cool and handy
Gogi Rana
Yes Amartya, and specially the handwriting to text / numeric conversion plus loading them on specific app.
Amartya.B
The handwriting to numeric conversion was already there na? What I am looking forward to is draw a square and a little app pops up thing looks really cool and good for impromptu notes
Gogi Rana
There is handwriting to text conversion but no option to mark the handwritten text and then use it in other apps e.g. Handwritten phone number – mark it and open it in phone dialer with the numbers converted or handwritten address mark it and open in Google maps directly.
Amartya.B
I see that’s pretty slick i would find the phone number has a lot of uses even in the g2 and its limited handwriting recognition
