Android 4.2.2 update available on Galaxy Grand Duos

F*** off Samshit. I have Note 2 and you release 4.2.2 for lower model? To those Samsung apologists, Samsung will no way release 4.3 for Note 2 as it will affect their Note 3 sales. Maybe we may get it eventually after Note 3 is 4-5 months old.

Samsung doesn't work like that...high end models get about 3 new android version updates
S1- 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.3 value pack
S2- 2.3, 4.0, 4.1, rumors about another update
S3- 4.0, 4.1, 4.3 incoming
Note 1- 2.3, 4.0, 4.1

Updated to 4.2.2 yesterday. Tried to do it thru KIES downloaded in 1hr 40 mins while installing it gave an error after waiting for about 45 mins I disconnected the USB cable. Had to remove the battery to switch off. After restarting the phone (I was surprised it did), I downloaded the update via WiFi it took only 43 mins & another 14 mins to install. After the main update of 488.67MB the second update 7.82MB & the third was of 67. Something MB. After downloading the file via wifi, it then offers you the option of installing immediately or do it later (which you can schedule)
The 2nd & 3rd were called stability patches. I haven’t explored the phone just now, will do it later. Seems ok as of now.

Just bought a Galaxy Grand i9082 today which came with 4.2.2. I noticed something just now is that google installed apps like maps, chaton, hangouts, you tube. Google play music, gmail etc can be ‘disabled’, yes that’s right if you don’t want it just disable it. Of course I have not tried it yet so don't know if it will create a stability issue.

After the updates mentioned above there was an update today of 12.79 MB.

This was there from a lot time ago in nexus 4.3.

Disabling apps was part of ICS update I think.

Using the leaked 4.3 ROM on Note 2.
