Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 4GLTE sch-i1915

by Gol4girl May 6, 2013 10:53AM PDT

I purchased the Tab 2 10.1 4GLTE. Verizon advertises it with the latest Jelly Bean software. I got mine and it had Ice Cream sandwich. After many calls to Verizon and visits to the store, I finally spoke to Samsung. They said I cannot receive any software updates unless I connect over the air which means I need to pay the $35 connection fee and a monthly charge of at least $30 a month for continuous services. Verizon will not allow wifi software updates which means I can't get the Jelly Bean software which is advertised on their site. So I have a product that is not as advertised and I paid $524 for it. Not happy about this situation. Does anyone know if there is anyway to get around this? Thanks!

Where I'd look for such.

You'll void any warranty but google XDA FORUMS and my bet is they have an out of band, out of support, forget your warranty update for you.
