Verizon's Galaxy Note II Primed for System Update

May 3, 2013, 6:53 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Verizon Wireless has prepared an operating system upgrade for the Samsung Galaxy Note II. The upgrade boosts the OS to Android 4.1.2 and makes a number of improvements to the device's performance. It adds IPV6 to the mobile hotspot feature, improves Exchange-based email syncing, adds airplane mode notifications, fixes text behavior when in landscape mode, and makes some fixes to the calendar and back-up assistant. The update also removes the Zappos application, which was preloaded on the device. The system update can be downloaded and installed over the air, though Verizon suggests that Note II owners use Wi-Fi. It is being distributed in waves and users will be notified when their device is ready.

Still bloatware

I'm glad to see that Samsung is sending out regular updates. The article says that the 4.1.2 updates removes the Zappos app, but after the update, it is still there. Once you remove the updates, the app will be gone.
