O2 will never tell you but 4.1.2 is already out. The update you are asking about is a patch file but f/w is still 4.1.2

Not sure when O2 branded phones will get the update but as it's a minor update it shouldn't want any lengthy testing by O2:

Hi Guys thanks for the replies,

Ive ran the software update every day since the 5th and Im still on 4.1.1.

samsung Kies says im upto date and I dont want to root as the phones only a month old.

so some guidance from o2 would be nice to say "yes were on it and it wont be long" but im guessing from your replies that wont happen. Does the note 2 suffer from the "Sudden Death Bug" also or is that just the S3 ?

Im eager to get this updated and o2 should be addressing this quickly not dragging there heels.

regards

Sal

Theoretically the note could be effected too but the issue has only been reported on S3's AFAIK. and in so low numbers that Samsung didn't rush to fix the issue. Sorry, in my first reply I had thought for some reason you were asking about the S3 so I assume when O2 release 4.12 for the note it will go straight to XELLA

I've noticed an improvement in battery life on 4.12 too but still not as good as it was on 4.04......

It seems to be charging faster as well when it's connected to my computer.

Yeah MI5, it's not as good as 4.0.4

There is still no update on this so please dont mark my post as solved with an answer " 02 will never tell you" that doesnt solve the problem.

So I have read about 4.1.2 and 4.2 yet no updates from O2

Are they not going to provide updates for the Galaxy Note 2??

Note 2 JB update 4.1.2 has been pushed out by Samsung to o2 and o2 has pushed it out to their customers a few weeks ago. I was told this last week by o2. By any OP are you not seeing the update on OTA or KIES ??? have a look here:-
http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Android-Devices-Samsung-HTC-Sony/4-2-2-update/td-p/439820
As you maybe having the same problems I am having as no matter what I try my phone is not seeing the update and am playing ping pong with o2 and Samsung. It will be interesting to know if you are the same as o2 have told me all their other Note 2 customers already updated, so it must be me,phone whatever.

All their other customers most certainly have NOT updated, I haven't.

I don't want to update over Kies as it is my understanding that Kies does a full update wiping all data but OTA does not.

If I were to do a complete wipe I would just switch to the international ROM to avoid this sort of thing, but I don't want to lose my game data nor root my phone to back it up.

I am not using an O2 SIM in the phone though which I did wonder if that makes a difference?

The update is dependant on the CSC of the phone - It makes no difference what SIM is in use at all.

Why don't you just copy your internal storage to your PC, wipe phone and update to open european fw then copy your files back to phone, thus saving your game data ?

Because as I understand it the only way to do that is to root my phone but then my mobile banking apps won't work, although its getting VERY tempting.

Root to do what ?

You do not need to root the device to flash stock firmware.

Go to xda-developers forum, download the latest stock firmware, must be the UK version, (4.1.2 from March), download ODIN, and flash.

Do not wipe the device, all your personal data/files/apps etc will be unaffected.

This also gets rid of the ugly O2 boot screen.
