[Galaxy S III General] .NetRolller 3D:
Next update for the S3 International is 4.3, confirmed by T-Mobile Germany.

See http://allaboutsamsung.de/2013/08/telekom-support-bestatigt-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-bekommt-direkt-android-4-3/ (in German)
[Galaxy S III General] eRPeeX:
The same in English: http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/3...d-4-3-jelly-bean-update-samsung-galaxy-s3.htm
[Galaxy S III General] hwjrmrm:
what's meaning by soon????????heheheh
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Soon is, in Samsung terms, at least 3 months.
[Galaxy S III General] x92:
Reading all these rumour, I really wonder if it's worth to skip android 4.2.2. We all knew that after 4.3 update it will be 5.0 KLP, why not release 4.2.2 for S3 and skip 4.3 instead? Unless they plan not to update S3 to 5.0(I hope not)

The changes/improvements from 4.2 to 4.3 is smaller/minor than 4.1 to 4.2.

As samsung has been working on 4.2.2 for months, it's certainly not worth to throw away all the effort and start from stretch to develop 4.3 again. They will face new bugs/problems and eventually takes much longer time to release 4.3 for S3/Note2. Not to mention, samsung will put more priority to release 4.3 for S4 first than S3/Note2.
[Galaxy S III General] tmantanner4:
I'm using 4.3 right now from 4.2.2 and I definitively say that is is a lot faster and snappier. Give cm 10.2 a go, the bugs are getting fixed really quickly and the ones that remain aren't too bad to live with
[Galaxy S III General] Rantanplan1980:
cm10.2 are still classified as nightly though. If they release a snapshot I'll update.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/08/08/galaxy-grand-duos-gt-i9082-receiving-android-4-2-2-update/

We have got to wait for the s4 first to get 4.3 then what ever comes out and we will get it after Christmas..some of the mid range phones are getting 4.2 at the moment from Samsung
[Galaxy S III General] DonutRaider:
I am pretty sure we are still not at nightly stage. So far all releases have been experiments on the path to bring CM 10.2 to a state without major bugs that can be classified as showstoppers, unless I am missing something.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
CM will NEVER reach anything higher than nightlies for the i9300, period.
[Galaxy S III General] UrbanDrawer:
Unless Samsung suddenly decides to be the good guy and releases the exynos sources and such. Which will NEVER happen. NEVER EVER. NEVER.

Dezember....2014
[Galaxy S III General] fabianokbr:
A question: does anybody knows if Galaxy S2 is going to be update to 4.2.2 or 4.3?

Because if the S2 is going to get the latest Android version is only logical to assume that our phones will be upgraded one more time beyond 4.3.
[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
Only the Samsung Galaxy SII Plus will be updated to 4.2.2. The regular S2 will stay at 4.1.2. Samsung says the there "are" touchwiz issues that can't be migrated to the regular S2 making it ineligible for the update.
[Galaxy S III General] chrcol:
indeed, they prioritise getting the latest out over stability.

why people think will be a milestone build now when hasnt been since cm9 I dont know.

aokp on the other hand do milestones for the s3 so I think they better.

The best chance of a milestone from CM is if google stop or slow down android releases, the more android release from google the less chance of milestone from CM. When new android come from google CM abandon old release.

---------- Post added at 04:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

might be related to the fact the s2 has 500meg internal memory for the rom, newer phones have more?

The s3 has a whopping 1.5gig for its rom partition on the sdcard. 3x that of the s2.

samsung would have to do some serious bloat cleaning to make their TW 4.2.2 fit on the s2.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
It's not about that. It's about there being a lack of exynos source code and documentation that prevents certain things from never working, ever.
[Galaxy S III General] chrcol:
what will never ever work?

on my AOKP rom all core functions of the phone work, but the camera is unstable, however unstable isnt the same as not working.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
FM radio, TV out, exFAT. Then there's some things that BARELY work and won't perform much better because of the lacking source code.

Though, a buggy AOSP is better than a SlugWiz rom any day of the week.
[Galaxy S III General] n. tympanicus:
for me fm radio works,i use spirit FM.... what do u mean no tv out, that i cant watch my screen on cellphone on TV? thats not a minor thing..
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Correct. Mhl only works on samsung roms
[Galaxy S III General] ApresVu:
yes I9300XXUGMK6 is great!!!

new camera FW some changes in the UI some new Icons..

there is a little lag on the dialer but it's not noticeable.

no wakeup lag.

overall performance are feeling great and the new TouchWiz is sexy!!!

yay!
[Galaxy S III General] Call_Me_Hudson:

[Galaxy S III General] crisagatie:

[Galaxy S III General] headhood:

samsung just did a great job.

i have a question about the uk update

is the new update includes knox or not ??
[Galaxy S III General] ApresVu:

otherwise thats the best update i ever used.

---------- Post added at 02:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

no
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:
I've got the Orange branded version, so I have to wait longer for this update, but if the RAM management is better that's great news, because this is concerning me the most atm.
[Galaxy S III General] jgmccabe:
It means their update server can only cope with a certain number of people updating at one time and, currently, that limit has been reached.
[Galaxy S III General] headhood:
nooo!!!! nothing about knox....I don't know why
[Galaxy S III General] ApresVu:
maybe i will upload the new FW before frabya......i will think about it
[Galaxy S III General] headhood:
why just gonna think about? if not u' then im gonna upload it...
[Galaxy S III General] ApresVu:
stfu, im uploading. with letitbit.net it's about 2% right now..bytheway thats the odin version just coocked it and its deodxed
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
I really hope this is not the product of hype

I said the same about MJ9 :D
[Galaxy S III General] Awesome Developer:

[Galaxy S III General] ApresVu:

[Galaxy S III General] Awesome Developer:
Hi my friend
[Galaxy S III General] ApresVu:
something like that, im not sure if it's 1 by 1 like the s4 camera, buttt this is great camera UI and speed!!! in my opinion thats better than STOCK NEXUS.... much faster
[Galaxy S III General] hwjrmrm:
really??? if yes,its really great!!
[Galaxy S III General] headhood:
wooooow im in love with that battery performanceeee!!! that ****ing crazyyy 30~M usage- 3-4%

Best Battery Ever!!!
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:

[Galaxy S III General] richyg81:
As you have already been told by your phone, try later or update your device through Kies ;)

[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
there isnt one yet because Samsung haven't released the update date on kies servers yet thats why i cant update
[Galaxy S III General] increatu:
Ok ,thanks ! :)
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
We have to wait. For now it's just an OTA for some countries, with the intention of fixing current 4.3 installations.
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:
And only for the unbranded versions, right?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Of course :)
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
mines unbranded and nothing
[Galaxy S III General] Apacer100:
Is there linux Kernel 3.4 inkluded?
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:

[Galaxy S III General] myth1001:

even if you flash with a BTU firmware, the phones CSC will still be whatever the phone was first set up with.
[Galaxy S III General] Mouzy:
Can I9300XXUGMK6 be download from somewhere?

I could not find it in sammobile

[MENTION=535343]all[/MENTION] the ppl who got the update to the latest 4.3 build ...

1.Plz check if all the bugs has been squashed in the new build which many ppl complained abt in the previous build.

2.plz upload some screen shots of the new features or options added in the new build ..
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
So, as of now, there's no Odin flashable XXUGMK6?
[Galaxy S III General] MigueelAngeel_:
Can someone upload screenshots of the new camera UI?
[Galaxy S III General] alpinista82:
Any place to download XXUGMK6 yet? I could't find it on SamMobile.
[Galaxy S III General] rafaelchampion:
Gods, someone post some screenshot of the camera UI and features (and Light effect, if possible)

I'm dying of curiosity!
[Galaxy S III General] ciprigeorgiu:
guys, don't expect this kind of changes. users said it's a 25 mb update. it's mainly kernel changes. but I sure hope I'm wrong....

[Galaxy S III General] Squall-Leonhart:

[Galaxy S III General] MigueelAngeel_:
Still no link? :(
[Galaxy S III General] tomashaker4e:
My s3 is running MJ9 BTU, OTA says that maximum number of downloads is reached and to try later or Kies, trying via kies and kies says that i already have the latest firmware :/ no MK6 for me :(

Awesome! Can't wait for file download link to flash it through odin!

To be honest,no problems with battery life or wake up lags with my unstable version of 4.3,but still 900+ ram and new camera UI is something I would like to see and use myself!

[Galaxy S III General] jgmccabe:
Sorry to clutter up the thread with this but, just had to .... LOL! :D

[Galaxy S III General] Ricky Divjakovski:
could anyone post the update.zip?
[Galaxy S III General] kremen666:
When I get to the source and the line will be slow or overloaded, can I do reupload the fastest server for me if you would be interested ...
[Galaxy S III General] tomashaker4e:
Checked KIES but still it’s saying that MJ9 is the latest software. Tried OTA but it keeps saying “The software update service is not available. Maximum number of roll out updates has been exceeded. Try later or update your device using Samsung Kies”
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Join the club
[Galaxy S III General] tomashaker4e:
Will it be easier for all of us now to update with the update.zip instead of downloading the whole new firmware and flashing it? We just need someone to upload the update.zip file
[Galaxy S III General] eaglearc:
there are persons that need feel important and they say anything to be it
[Galaxy S III General] george stamatos:
Probably...
[Galaxy S III General] tsimitsangaz:
fiasko..or not

How is that possible to have the update only one person and to uploading it hours and hours like 56k dialup ....maybe nothing exist?Just say'n and no details at all? is in only kernel is it odin firmware whats the size??? Just say'n.
[Galaxy S III General] Gold_Diesel:
People are saying that the OTA update they recieved is only ~26MB big
[Galaxy S III General] george stamatos:
What people do for some 'thanks'...
[Galaxy S III General] tsimitsangaz:
so we r looking for a flasable zip only probaply with some patches included and kernel ..and for 26mb with 56k dialup its about 30mins max to upload if I am correct.:silly:
[Galaxy S III General] Faber-92:
Lot of people have already asked lucky people who received the update to post some screenshot but anyone cared... Is it so difficult? Can you gently show us the effective news through screenshots? Thank you!

What about KNOX ???????
[Galaxy S III General] tomashaker4e:
There is no KNOX for the i9300 for now. The firmware is Knox-Free.

Thread has been cleaned. Please keep it on topic and respectful moving forward, there will be no further warnings so any more flaming or trolling will be handled appropriately.
[Galaxy S III General] xHausx:
It should go without saying, but bypassing the md5 check because it fails is very, very unwise. Either the file has been corrupted or the person who updated it doesn't know how to update the md5, so either way it is not something you're going to want to flash.
[Galaxy S III General] psichokillah:
I am guilty as well because I've uploaded something I took for granted. I believed the user posted real firmware. Didn't had the time to flash it but since there were many users asking for MEGA, I've uploaded one copy because I have a fast connection. Will double check in the future. Thanks for clearing everything. :good:
[Galaxy S III General] xHausx:
You live and learn, I've been guilty of it too but have been lucky. I've seen many people brick after bypassing a security check that rightfully failed because someone accidentally included the wrong firmware. Everyone makes mistakes so even if you trust the source it's always good to double check.

Well I think all the sweet stories abt MK6 has been made up !! So far no one posted any screen shots of MK6 or any new features (they have been bluffing abt) !! All the talks r too good to be true ...so I think ppl r bluffing ..its just a simple small kernel update ...

If its only 25~mb then where did they get new camera UI , Home , lock screen (with light effect) , yata yata ....its all a bluff to create a Hype ...
[Galaxy S III General] danierakes:
Just wait faaryaab will upload the firmware...
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:

kernels are, exagerating, no more than ~9mb

Please see my edit to your post [MENTION=3656985]headhood[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S III General] northender:
I'm in software development and if we issued out a dodgy build, we'd withdraw the update, rework it and issue a patch to the affected users first. If the patch was deemed to be successful, we'd then re-issue the full update after a few days of positive feedback ...so you'll probably have to wait for the full 4.3 upgrade.
