get real

ya i got the s3 and the s4. sure id like to get 4.3 for both but come back from fantasy land and back to real life. Im sure s4 will get 4.3 but well be lucky to get 4.2/4.2.2 for the s3. even tho i dont use my s3 much id would be nice to get 4.2 hell while were at it lets put 5.0 nevermind that lets skip all that together let put 6.0 on it :P oh ya thats just fantasy land again sry :P
[Galaxy S III General] ChinaskiG:
I really wonder how much better the performance will be.
[Galaxy S III General] Velogr1992:
it would be so nice to see some nice features from s4,like the camera and stuff......i would also like to be more lag-less :). be patient guys the change is near :D

edit: hopefully we are next since note2 will have longer wait time because of the s-pen features.
[Galaxy S III General] Androidgeert:
Lol, I know how to use photoshop.

But you can also change buildnumber and androidversion in your build.prop.

So everyone can make an fake 4.3 version and make an picture and post it online.

My brother bought the S4 and when we compare them you can see how bad touchwiz works. after we flashed it to a AOSP rom (Google edition) the phone became blazing fast. both my S3 and his S4 are on AOSP and you can clearly see the performance difference in the 2D part. and this drives me nuts. the difference is insane... wish the nexus 4 was available when i bought this piece of crap. i mean beside the exynos bull**** soc the S3 has some serious design flaws like the screen corners i dropped mine on sand and the whole screen broke on 3 places.. One thing is certain when my contract is over i'm going to throw the S3 out of my window and put it on youtube.

Your not going to get less lag because of the 1 gig of ram android and touchwiz need more these days
[Galaxy S III General] Velogr1992:
Well at least better memory management because with facebook and chrome i have ~50 mb available and i lag like hell :(

p.s: I too, have installed many aosp roms.But i felt some that features were missing and that it was too simple.Indeed the difference is big aosp roms are extremely fast :) .But admit it you all/we all want the features touchwiz has.The GUI is good,despite the fact that is heavy for GS3 to handle
[Galaxy S III General] clouds5:
Yeah give me a Nexus with more than 32gb plz... Btw you don't have to use Touchwiz. I'm very happy with the S3. I see no reason to get a new phone any time soon. But the update to 4.3 would be nice.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
I was mad at first too. Samsung not releasing JB for ages, CM working like crap (lots of lags, memory leaks, bad camera, missing features, etc) thanks to the Exynos Sources drama, etc. but now, things changed a lot. You don't really have to use Samsung based firmwares to fully enjoy this device.

CM fixed pretty much the lagging isues (you can enhance this with a different kernel too) and the camera is 10 times better (and you have other camera apps too). There are roms like PA or AOKP that have many cool settings you can change or features like HALO and SlimPIE that are extremely handy.

Take the phone for what it is. It was the best one when it first came out. A year later, with the mobile techonoly moving so fast, you can't really expect wonders from the S3. It will perform all your daily tasks without problems, but it wont be the fastest mobile out there.

That being said, I'm happy with it, and I don't plan changing it for a while. Maybe at the end of next year, who knows.
[Galaxy S III General] popoyaya:
IMHO a touckwiz rom like omega with a nippy kernel like googymax and a decent launcher like nova and i'm very happy with my s3.

I only wish i'd got the pebble blue and not the big girly white one. Is it possible/cheap to change the housing?
[Galaxy S III General] Robin2:
You'd have to change the front glass panel and replace it with a blue one, change the home button and replace the battery cover. This requires you to remove the current glass panel obviously and that's quite a nasty and time consuming procedure. Check YouTube tutorials on this matter and you'll understand. ;) I think your're better off just acccepting the phone as it is and maybe get a case to mask the white of your phone or just trade it with someone for a blue one.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
I had the white version and loved it for a while, then got bored, sold it, and bought the pebble blue. Now I want a white one again /dumb

But no, replacing the housing is a major pain in the ass, like Robin2 explained.

Now S4 has gotten 4.3 update, what kind of perspectives open up for the S3 with this?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Samsung kept to their initial plan to update the s4 in mid October. So we will most likely see the s3 update at the end of November, early December like it was said before. If we are lucky, we will get some leaks in earlyy/mid November :D
[Galaxy S III General] stsdema28:

[Galaxy S III General] ApresVu:

[Galaxy S III General] clouds5:
4.3 is probably the "final" version we will be getting for our S3. So I'd prefer it that they take their time to release a very good and stable ROM for us. I'm still very happy with 4.1.3 but there are some annoying things like the wake up lag.
[Galaxy S III General] Hanzo.Hasashi:
I thought 4.4 has already been confirmed
[Galaxy S III General] mkhawx:
Its not confirmed but there is a hope that we'll get it too in april/may! If they give us 3 major updates like S2 :) ;)
[Galaxy S III General] golti:
When is 4.3 expected?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Reading back maximum 1 page would have helped answering your question.
[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
Note II leak got the same s*hit kernel 3.0.x that Note II and S3 have right now....

Unless they change that on the next leak, don't think the final 4.3 roms are going to have 3.4 kernel for the S3 and for the Note II...

If it was to happen, already the leak of note 2 had to have that...
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Its not about unhelpfulness. This whole xda forum is actually meant to be a forum for developers. So we normal users are actually just a tolerated species over here :D

Anyways, a forum is usually not a help desk in first place. Its mainly an information database where people exchange their knowledge about stuff. So the first thing people should always do is search, since mostly someone already asked the same thing before. After sufficient search and in case you really dont find your answer, you can of course ask.

[Galaxy S III General] yken:
People waiting 4.3 update, what do you expect that will change with the update? Look at 4.2.2 leak, 4.3 possibly will be similar to this rom.

No high expectation!
[Galaxy S III General] fabianokbr:
As far as I know, the updates for locked phones have to be approved by the carriers that sold then.

So, don't blame Samsung for that.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Yeah, we complain about samsung, but Sony and LG are way sadder.

Sony releases devices already outdated, and the LG scene is, well, crap. The Optimus G was supposed to beat the S3 and it got stuck on time.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
That's not it. Sony's roms are exactly like the rest, with tons of bloatware.

They seem to be faster because the hardware is better, but in low/mid end devices, they lag like hell. And they don't offer updates after the device has been released to the market. You're pretty much stuck with the android version it came with.

Battery drain while charging? Culprit the USB cable change it for a better one and problem solved. It seems a lot of USB cables and Samsung charger are dieing lately, my two S3 chargers died, Note 2 chargers from 3 family members died too.

And BTW difference between 4.1.2 and 4.3 when released... Build number, Android version, TRIM, and very little UI changes, some performance improvement. The rest remain the same. (changes are under the hood.)
[Galaxy S III General] chrismast:
thought maybe interesting to share this article from Engadget mentioning (again) end of October for a 4.3 update. If it is already shared please forget this post :).
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
The page is saying that the other phones, like s4 mini, zoom, active, etc. will get the update at the end of October and the s3, note 2 even before. I pretty much doubt that. I think the former rumors saying end of November for the s3 are more realistic, but we will see.
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
I've suspected the cable for some time. I picked up a cheap USB cable, but it's such low quality that it doesn't charge well to begin with.
[Galaxy S III General] cba1986:
And more important Mali Drivers, kernel sources, basebans and lot of stuff to make an even better CM.
[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
I don't think that you have read the press release...

It says that

Then for the other phones,

I don't think that separate software is going to be a 4.3 rom update, but only a simple update of their current firmwares, like samsung tipically updates their phones...
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
But wasnt one of the requirements for the galaxy gear support to have bluetooth le support? So samsung rather ports ble to some old android than updating to 4.3, but I guess its easier
[Galaxy S III General] crisagatie:
a.f.a.i.k., bluetooth smart (or 4.0 or LE) is supported under android starting with 4.3. I'm not sure it can be backported.

Here is what Samsung has confirmed to be on board the Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update when it arrives. The same features should be on board the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.3 update as well.

Samsung KNOX*, a secure and comprehensive mobile solution for enterprises and consumers. (*Galaxy S III 3G version will get Samsung KNOX with a platform security only in select countries.)

Smart Switch to seamlessly transfer content from other smartphones to Samsung devices.

HomeSync to store, share and enjoy content securely wherever you are.

Group Play 2.5 with shared video support.

New capabilities provide easier text input, and updated graphics and multimedia.

Isn't it worth waiting?
