    Samsung starts Android 4.2.2 update for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100)

    Firmware

    Well, the season of Android 4.2 updates to Samsung's huge lineup of devices seems to finally be here, as just a day after the update started rolling out to the Galaxy S II Plus in Germany, Samsung is now treating the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (3G variant) to the newer (but not the latest anymore) flavour of Jelly Bean. The rollout has begun in France, with the build number P3100XXDMG6.

    Android 4.2.2 brings a number of small but useful changes, such as a dedicated notifications panel in the status bar, lockscreen widgets, multiple user accounts, better accessibility, Daydreams screensaver mode, and also new widgets and launcher from the Galaxy S4. Expect to see improvements in performance and battery life as well.

    It's quite odd to see mid-range devices getting preference for the Android 4.2 update, though that does show Samsung isn't giving as much special preference to their high-end device owners, and it confirms again and again that devices like the Galaxy S III and Note II will directly get updated to Android 4.3.

    The update can be grabbed from Kies or via an over-the-air update on the device itself (Settings » About tablet » Software update), and you can also download the firmware from our firmware page to manually update (manual update can be done on any unlocked Tab 2 7.0 from any country, but outside France you may have to wipe data to make it boot up).

    Firmware information:
    Model: GT-P3100
    Country: France
    Version: Android 4.2.2
    Changelist: 1198223
    Build date: Mon, 29 Jul 2013 02:17:49 +0000
    Product Code: XEF
    PDA: P3100XXDMG6
    CSC: P3100OXADMG6
    MODEM: P3100XXDMF2

    By now, it's become pretty clear that chances of the Galaxy S2 (and Galaxy Note) getting updated to Android 4.2 are slim to none. Our insiders said the device has reached end of support, and later Australian carrier Telstra confirmed that the update won't be coming, at least on the 4G variant of the device. […]
