How to enable multiview without custom rom
- Thread starter supac
- Start date
If I decide to root, but still keep everything else stock for now...will it affect ability to download OTA? I've been holding off. I do know I will have to re-root after it comes of course. There seems to be conflicting info wherever I've tried to search/read so I'm just asking, officially.

While you are rooted you will not be able to get OTAs
The developers that we have will take the official rom and make it custom once we get updates. Rooting wont block an OTA, it will just removes the root, you could reroot, or you could just install one of the custom roms with multiview, as the devs will update roms as soon as the official updates come along. There is really nothing to loose.
Why isn't this in the Q&A sub-forum? And your thread title is missing a question mark. Or you could change your post to actually provide the solution...since that's what it looks like in the first place
Rooting blocks OTA ??
I am not convinced you are correct in the statement that "Rooting does not block OTA updates". I have my Galaxy Note 2 (paid full price but then Samsung is giving me $375.00 for my *old* Galaxy Note so I am not complaining) that is only rooted, no custom rom or tweaks. Every time I go to check for updates "Settings, About Device, Software Update" it always says "Update Interrupted, phone will check for updates in the next 48 hours". This seems to me like it is not actually connecting to the update server (I have tried over WiFi and over 4g with the same results).
Could be that you are right and I am wrong and my phone is not right, but everything else about my Galaxy Note II is AWESOME.
I am counting on Kies having the update as soon as AT&T does it OTA and I will just get it by direct connection to my laptop.
(waiting . . . .)

Me too. Especially on the Note II. TouchWiz based ROMs for me... loving the multi-view.

I am pretty sure every phone I have had that has been rooted ( 7 phones and 1 tablet) has been able to download updates some couldn't install them. Just last week my rooted nexus 7 was prompted for the 4.2 OTA and it updated successfully. There is a chance you'll lose root or even brick your device. So be careful.
How are you getting 375 for the okd note. Att told me it was a little over 100 trade in value

rrackman mentions Samsung not AT&T..Samsung does their own trade in your phone to upgrade to a Samsung program
But but right on their website it says "up to" $300

You should complain. I got $450 for my Note 1.

Just kidding. I got $375 too.

I found out about the upgrade offer via email. You might have to subscribe / register an account on their website to get emails, promos, etc. I was suprised my Note 1 upgrade was more than street value. It was a no-brainer to upgrade, although I was a bit hesitant because I like the Note 1 black color better.
Hey - it's rude to use the word retarded. You'll cry when you end up having a 'retarded' kid. Aside from that, I think the Note 1 is an alternative to the SG3. The specs are pretty much the same, but you get the bigger screen - unless you want the smaller screen.
Obviously you dont know what retard means and the note 1 compares in no way with the sgs3.
