I have one day left of my 30 days with my new Note. I'm gonna return it and get the Note 2 as I don't think the JB is gonna come out anytime soon. Samsung has pulled this before, so I don't expect the JB until probably 2014.

No worries for me.... I exchanged my Note I plus $150 for the Note II.
This Note II is considerably faster with that Quad-core and double memory the Note I had. AND JB. :D

I am extremely unhappy with my Samsung Galaxy Note I for many reasons.
The main one is that all the apps I can find seem A) fairly flaky and B) fairly counter intuitive.

e.g.
1. I have had endless problems synching to msExchange.
2. I cant stop those irritating whistles when things come in. That is I do still want to hear that an SMS has come in but nothing else.
3. Almost everything it does is just too damned slow. I dont have a vast number of apps installed either. It might be because I am running AVG anti-virus though.
4. Even things like setting up a calendar entry is painful. I add an entry and it immediately disappears from view!
5. The default email app is irritating because it can only show one email folder at once. So if an email comes in that Outlook has put into a specific directory, you have to know to look there or you wont find it.
6. The "Hi Galaxy" thing (when you it the button at the bottom middle twice) sometimes works well but when it gets stuck it gets VERY stuck and overall I find that it is almost useless. This is a huge shame because if it actually worked it would be extremely useful for when driving.
7. KIES is absolutely dreadful. It takes a very long time to connect. Quite often it completely fails to connect in fact! And whilst KIES is open it murders my PC's 'resources' (Fwiw, my PC is: Win7 x64, with 8GB of RAM, running an SSD with loads of space available). For example Skype and Youtube playback become unusable.

I'm still a Galaxy Note newbie and perhaps I'm mis-using or misunderstanding the thing. Or perhaps I need to find better apps. I dont know - but I have bought a couple of android review type magazines and tried various of their recommended apps, but most of them I've had to uninstall.

Now that I remember, my phone got COMPLETELY stuck attempting to do an upgrade and tech support couldnt help me and eventually I had so post the phone back for about 10 days whilst they fixed ti.

Yes, I do like my Galaxy Note 1 and yes, I acknowledge that I am still on a learning curve... but overall, let's not get carried away - I certainly wouldnt call it "pretty damned good".

I have had a S2 and a note and both are absolutely brutal for exchange syncing, usually my phone never syncs unless I end task on the mail app. Its so frustrating because it is a work phone, and both phones have had this issue. Plus the battery drain caused by the mail app is insane. I keep thinking it will be fixed with an update, but im starting to think I should never get an android phone for use with a work exchange server.
 
Yes it changed from 2.3.6 which did an automatic update even on the y!Finance and if you set up the refresh does not matter how long it drains the battery. It could very well be just a programming line to the home screen used in 2.3.6 that the 4.0.4 was taken out. Another way out maybe to find out if the email could be pushed that should not be too taxing on the battery.

The jb update will be pushed to your note when Samsung sees fit.

Or root it, and put a jb rom on it yourself.

Google is your friend
 
According to Ukrainian Samsung, release date for Note is March 1

Ace 2: April 11
Galaxy S advance: February 18
S2: March 3
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus: February 22
Galaxy Tab 8.9 to ICS: January 24
 
I notice some doubters think this is just a scam rumor or something. it ain't.
that's samsung's site, not some tertiary site. but, it says nothing about the carrier-bound handsets. I imagine however that once its out for n7000, it will be about five nanoseconds before someone posts it for mods and installation on i717 and t879

Ok have you read the manual for jb I to want the update but 4.0.4 how I understand have better battery performance. I would like them to get that right than receiving something way below par. Would you prefer 2 days on wifi and data plan than 2 hours? Leave them work this out I am sure when done we both will be happy.

I've been using JB beta leaks for several months now and would say the battery life is comparable to ICS if not slightly better. The speed is certainly better but that is because of Project Butter.

I have a Note but it does not seem to be SGH-i717d. Will all Notes be updated?
Click to expand...

I believe it is all carrier dependent. Canada usually is one of the slower countries to get updated so hopefully you will get it soon or have to resort to rooting.
 
The SGH-i717d is the Telus version of the Note. As far as I'm aware, all notes will be updated eventually. I take it you have the European model N7000?
