14 DAY TRIAL // Mobile phone carrier Verizon Wireless is getting ready for the release of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean for the Galaxy Note II smartphones on its network, and has already provided some info on what the new software release will include.
The update will arrive on smartphones featuring build number JZO54K.I605VRAMC3 and baseband version I605VRAMC3.

The name of the Group Cast preloaded application has been changed to Group Play, Back Up Assistant Plus! now supports a setting to select the auto-back up time, and duplicate calendar sync events with applications like Facebook have been removed.
The release notes for the Galaxy Note II update also show enhancements coming from Verizon:
