[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] duke4c:
Sorry if this was asked before but this really bugs me...

Money is not the issue here and I can upgrade early for about 50% of the outright price of S4...

But I have a problem:

I don't see a reason do upgrade.

Screen difference is minor at best

TW features are bound to find their way on S3 (most of them anyways) and this is even less applicable to those who run AOSP.

Camera is better but it really isn't MUCH better than S3 one.

Same amount of RAM.

So the only thing left is a CPU speed...

Normally I'd be glad to get MUCH faster CPU but here is my problem:

Exactly what would be a point of getting faster CPU? I can't think of a single app that pushes S3 to the limit let alone of an app

that requires horsepower of S4...

Anyone else have / had similar dillemas?

There is also anothe BIG potential issue. S3 support is great. S4 support (at least according to inital reports) will be problematic at XDA.

That could mean serious delays or down right unavailability of latest roms.

In otherwords when we get key lime pie in May S4 owners might be SOL while S3 owners might end up rocking it...

(with stable builds available about 2-3 months after google gives us a source code to play with)

Thoughts? Can anyone think of good reason to upgrade? Any apps or games out there that run poorly on S3 and can benefit from extra CPU power?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nikufellow:
You are right most of the gimmicks Sammy has put together for s4 will makes its way eventually to s3 if you care about them, apart from bargaining rights i don't really see any pont in upgrading- it'll be better off to wait till note 3 for that matter
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
The only feature of the S4 that makes think of upgrading is the physical IR blaster which would make the phone work as a universal remote.

Everything else is basically just software upgrades that'll eventually come to the S3 or, like OP said, unnecessary horsepower (screen & cpu).

Very nice rom gongrats to the devs... I have just installed and been running it for a day now. I noticed two glinches

A) when someone calls at lockscreen the circle phone unlocker is a little bit to the right

B) at dial pad when you try to dial the vibration starts randomly and stops after 2 secs

Thats all until now but everything else are flowless.

Ps. Forgot that i'm using trinity kernel.

Thanks for your time and sorry for my english :)

Hi friends.

When i have some free time,i browse browser's header on www.handsetdetection.com .

Today i have found this : Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.3; Nexus 4 Build/JWR23B) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.60 Mobile Safari/537.36

So in my opinion ,google should release this version before the key lime pie. ;)

[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
I would expect android 4.3 in june with a new nexus 7. There were rumors that the new nexus 7 will ship in july and at the BLE session they said api 18 would be released in a "few short months".

[Nexus 4 General] algorhythm:
This only says that the new N4 will be shipped with 4.3.

4.3 could come tomorrow (it's not) and ALL nexus devices can ship with 4.3.

Just because a new phone is coming out with the new version doesn't mean they are dependent on each other.
[Nexus 4 General] DirgeExtinction:
Isn't that how it's usually been with nexus devices?
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
If they use an igzo display which is battery efficient then that won't matter ;)

I wouldn't expect 4.3 at the last day of Google I/O. They are most likely holding out 4.3 so they could unveil a new nexus 7 with it. June 10th seems about right.
[Nexus 4 General] 19Max87:
I don't understand you guys. For me it is clearly a fact that with the s4 Google edition a new android version won't come before it's release, or more probably a month later.

Didn't they said it'll run 4.2.? And didn't they said it will receive all updates directly, as a nexus device?

So doesn't it seem to be senseless to say that a device will be shipped with the newest android version when its version is outdated before it becomes available?

Hope you get what I mean...
[Nexus 4 General] deanesn:
Not really. At the IO the guy said the phone will receive prompt updates. Prompt is based on perception. To me promptly means in a week to some promptly means a month. It is very possible that Nexus 4 gets 4.3 and S4 waits. Plus most likely those devices that will be ready to ship on the 26th are already made. I doubt someone will open them, update them and repackage them. :) I am sure the update will be available to the user once they pull it out of the box.
[Nexus 4 General] 19Max87:
I really hope so and would be never be happier if i am mistaken...

Not sure how.

It is known for a long time, that permanently running services are supposed to have an ongoing notification icon, otherwise it there is no guarantee, that the service won't be killed at will.

Sure, this could indicate, that el goog is finally taking the battery life complaints seriously and decided to kill off all the sh** apps from developers who don't really know what they are doing (surprisingly a lot of them). It was long overdue.

But it does not say anything about "when".It could be a month, two, four or six.

about the Samsung S4 being a Google edition phone, running AOSP, won't that make all those sensors and stuff for the camera to be useless? touchwiz incorporates code and processing to get good pictures. without it, it'll just be a basic camera with photosphere, like the nexus 4

i also was reading around, and someone made an interesting point. we all know android 4.3 is coming soon, which means that it may have camera improvements, which would not make the S4 camera go to waste. and the rumor about the HTC One being AOSP, it really would need improvements in the camera software, so that the One's camera wont be a waste as well. i hope that is the case
