I got the update 3 minutes ago. I use the Note 10.1 2014 edition
Do you know the build string/number?
The “update” turns out to be nothing more than a stability update. Took me through the whole process like an OS upgrade and I ended up still on 4.3
Sorry
I use Galaxy note 10.1 which I brought from America. But right now I am in India so will that affect my device for the update? Please help.
you’ll get it for sure.. but it may be delayed by a few days.. no issues
