[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Thats what sammobile said. Now someone else read between the lines that it will be in november/december, since someone from samsung said that the s3 will get samsung gear support by then which implies an android 4.3 update. We will see whats true and whats not
[Galaxy S III General] stevie67:
Yeah it will most likely be November/December knowing Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] kezgez:
Must admit I'm getting cheesed off with it all, thinking seriously about going over to the fruit at least they get all the updates and support
[Galaxy S III General] CassiBrandao:
So excited to see my baby S3 running 4.3! Anyone knows if there will be Air Gestures for the Gallery like on S4? I think it's pretty neat! :D
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
There is an app called Hovering control which will give you some air gestures experience (e.g switching through images on the gallery by moving your hand like on Galaxy S4) ;)
[Galaxy S III General] CassiBrandao:
Yeah, I'm aware of the Hovering Controls... But on the S4, the gestures are more ''advanced'', right? like, if you wave for the left, the picture gonna change to the left, and if you wave for the right, the picture gonna change for the right! On Hovering Controls you can only wave for the same side and choose to wave one or more times, or am I wrong? I didn't have the chance to test the S4 features, but I judge the Air Gestures work like that...
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
Because S4 has more sensors than S3
[Galaxy S III General] CassiBrandao:
Oh, didn't know that.... Pitty! That kind of control would be awesome! Thanks for the quick response! ;)
[Galaxy S III General] garryboy:
Just lower your hand a little and swipe the screen. Job done

Unnecessary information, but thanks anyway! ;)

Humidity and temperature sensors? Lol.... It's all about software and proximity sensor drivers that reports discrete values instead od boolean near/far as in s3

[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
As far as I'm concerned, S4 has 2 proximity sensors.

Just hanging around here and there from I9300
[Galaxy S III General] keemo.rom:
imo ,touchwiz needs something different ,besides of sensors,hovering controls etc. Imo it needs new visuals ,new dialpad ,new caller id and so on. We all are waiting 4.3 ,and we think it's going to be a whole lot different from 4.2.2 or 4.1.2. In fact the difference will be at performance ,or stuff we don't see after we flash the new firmware. Hope it will be a boom something different from all the other mobile phone producers. We all port stuff we like but we still want that touchwiz experience. I would like to use 4.3 stock no ports,no mods ,etc thats the kind of firmware i would like to have on my phone ,a complete ROM !
[Galaxy S III General] danierakes:
Yeah we will see if we can get 4.3 soon..hope cometh ison wont hit earth this nov or dec

Being a former LG Optimus 2x user i really don't mind waiting the update(i've waited enough for ICS too) because i'm happy with the device as it is.
[Galaxy S III General] Robin2:
Former 2X owner here aswell. When the ICS update finally came, it turned out to be terrible. Incredibly slow and even worse ram management. I'm pretty sure Samsung will do a better job at this than LG did at the time.
[Galaxy S III General] fabianokbr:
I can see that the Optimus 2X left too many scared for life with the LG update policy. Myself included. I'm happy with Samsung because my basis for comparison are so low that I shoudn't even consider it.

[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
We've just been discussing that in this thread
[Galaxy S III General] SaschaKH:
If you know that Samsung said that (not some 'insider') please give a link.

All that I know is that Samsung said that the I9300 will get a 4.2 and one after that for sure, they never said anything about dates. OK there was a half official that the I9300 will get 4.2.2 probably may or june and than sorry because we decided to put the new nature TW (from I9500) in it and there are some delays so it will probably come out in august. That might be or not, I think probably translates to 1-2 months more. :)

There are some rumors that battery should be better in 4.2.2 than in 4.1.2 and that this might be harder to do than Samsung thought.

If 'one after that' translates to 4.3 or 5.0 we don't know.

I'm rather happy with I9300XXEMC2 as it is right now and hope for better battery and some of the nature TW features and wait happyly another 2 or 3 months for it, better than all the troubles with pres. I prefere a solid OS to a fast one with a lot of bugfixes. just my 2c
[Galaxy S III General] Braeburn:
i heard that samsung release the 4.3 for galaxy s4 via Play Store, is only for the s4? or we can install on the S3?
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
We haven't got 4.2 yet. I'm not aware on an update via play, but remember there is a Google edition s4 that has vanilla android, so if there were such an update via play, it would be for that.

It wouldn't even work on a standard s4. This is because of the whole touchwiz thing, which you might have heard of.
[Galaxy S III General] dhirend_6d:
They will release after 4.3 is officially released most probably. So that more people by S4 rather than S3. Since S4 has 4.2.2 already.

Its all marketing strategy. Its a company. :p :p
[Galaxy S III General] Poshdaz:
As the S3 is old news now, it's pretty unlikely there will be much more development now. 4.2 and that will probably be that.
[Galaxy S III General] Journyman16:
Personally I think the S4 isn't doing so good in sales - the price of the S3 is still high and the S4 has come down drastically. S3 here now is about $450 or so and the S4 is already down to ~$630 - the S3 has hardly changed in a year and the S4 has dropped $300 since it came out. Market-wise that is usually a sign that the price-drop product is overpriced and the price drops until it hits the point a market thinks it is a fair price.

Market-wise, the fact the S3 has not dropped much at all (I bought mine a year ago at a flash sale from Kogan for $439, about $120 off the then-current price) implies it WAS the pardigm-changing phone users claimed it to be. The feature set (and maybe the work of devs here) has kept the phone on a highly-sought-after list. I think the fact that most S3 folk haven't gone chasing the S4 is to do with the perceived value-for-money of the S4 compared to what they have in the S3.

So, Samsung would be unlikely to prioritise enhancing the S3 until sales of S4 match projections - I think from the hype they expected the S4 to boom into the world like another S3 event, but I also think they misjudged what people were finding so valuable about the S3. Even over on the S4 forums the vaunted 'features' of the S4 aren't making much of a splash - screen is apparently excellent but given nothing is really stretching the S3 in performance, the extra GB of RAM and the marginally faster processor isn't really making an impact.

I think the S4 needs a killer app - one that everyone wants, that performs well on the S4 but staggers along on the S3 - then the S4 might get some traction.
[Galaxy S III General] Sean473:
LOL S4 price has gone down from 629 quid to 448 quid.. Ouch what a drop! Even the S3's price didn't drop so fast!
[Galaxy S III General] mauricio.valladolid:
IMO we got our hopes up bye samsung, but i dont think we will get if anything new on the i9300 specially the s4 camera.

Like stated before the s4 sales are low and they have to keep the new features for their new devices, even if we do get any android updates.
[Galaxy S III General] disk0360:
Be nice to see an official 4.2.2, not really too worried about 4.3 since it looks like mission impossible to port it over
[Galaxy S III General] carlao:
yep. i hope we that 4.2.2 will come out in next few weeks..
[Galaxy S III General] PsychoWhiz:
Cant really see all that much improvement in the 4.3 seen so far
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Because the 4.3 you've seen is an incomplete leak. It's a test version leaked from the GE S4. It does not have all the bells and whistles that full 4.3 will have.
[Galaxy S III General] Blackwolf10:
even better for us buyers if you come to think of it
[Galaxy S III General] nightwing90:
Samsung may skip Android 4.2.2 on Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III for Android 4.3 (Sammobiles)

Take this with a big pinch of salt but according to a new rumor, Samsung won’t release the Android 4.2.2 update for the Galaxy Note II or the Galaxy S III. This information comes from a site called Temefy and they claim the reason for skipping it is that Samsung is also working on Android 4.3. Another reason could the release timeframe which the site says could be around November this year and if true, makes sense for Samsung to release Android 4.3 instead of Android 4.2.2.

Thanks to our insiders, we’ve got an inside look at the Android 4.2.2 for the Galaxy S III but there’s no leak of a test build of the latest Android OS for the Galaxy Note II.

[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
It's a new warranty check which can't be bypassed yet as far as I know. Not an issue in the EU as rooting doesn't void your warranty anyway here. You might have to fight samsung over it but in the UK it'd only £20 to take them to court so samsung can go suck it. I'm rooting and keeping my warranty thank you very much.

[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
Massive issue for me as I'm currently abroad and using my EU S3 with a foreign sim. If this is forced with 4.4 I think I'd return my s3 to the retailer as it is no longer fit for purpose or capable of what it could do when sold.

We still dreaming waiting for 4.3 leak....I guess samsung hate s3

sure.. coz when leak ready for note II (more features to make than s3), then its most probably ready also for s3... 4.2.2. leak must be enought for me now :( (NO, I will not install AOSP-based android, even without any bugs)
[Galaxy S III General] wangdaning:
Why wait for a leak? It is not worth it, might show some features, might not show others, + few devs want anything to do with them.

Better to just wait for the release, but I wouldn't get my hopes up. What exactly are people expecting from TW 4.3?
[Galaxy S III General] Blackwolf10:
waiting for an official is like waiting for a train in a bus station plus i like touchwiz it has good features and not bareboned like aosp
[Galaxy S III General] wangdaning:
If this is true then a leak would be a train wreck. Wait for the train, why wait for the wreck

[Galaxy S III General] Blackwolf10:
it's not a wreck TBH it's more like a untested fast japanese train it could be safe or it could screw you up :)

Well whether TouchWiz stinks or not is a subjective opinion of everyone.

To be honest I've completely given up on updating/modding my s3... Used to be on this forum every day keeping up to date with new developments but Samsung has essentially strangled this community. I don't have the time to try and suss things out and contribute either :(
[Galaxy S III General] Blackwolf10:
No in your case it would be Airplanes coming to a bus station :D the last time i waited for an official update was galaxy S2 getting 4.1.2 i had to wait 4 months after the ETA and about modding there are a lot of stuff here that keep me busy and made me stop thinking about when sammy is gonna release an update but official's are good as we get kernel sources so the devs can make a kernel for that android version

Samsung are busy adding the region lock to 4.3 before they release it.

1gb ram really isn't an issue, my s3 runs great, I came from an xperia U with 512mb ram (384 usable), that thing was useless. S3 flies in comparison.

I understood how region lock works, but I don't believe that it has anything to do with the update for already purchased and used S3s... It probably is even illegal to region lock phones previously bought unlocked just now.

[Galaxy S III General] lucalunardi:
Let's wait to see what happens, but I'm pretty sure they are going to face some legal problems with that. Here in Brazil locking devices is against the law. Either they will forced to provide unlocking codes for free and with ease or they are going to be sued. Today if you buy any locked device in Brazil you only need to call your operator to get the unlock code, even on contract (That's my case. I bought my S3 on contract and it came unlocked).
[Galaxy S III General] rafu997:
There is already an app that removes region lock from Note 3 so it's not a big problem i guess... You just need to root the device
[Galaxy S III General] sergini:
That's great! Here you have to pay 25% the cost of your phone to unlock it.
[Galaxy S III General] fabianokbr:
It's not that great. In Brazil the phone companies doesn't grant decent discounts when purchasing a phone. And the government has set a time limit of one year for the "on contract" plans. In order to have a big discount, you have to sign "big", paying around 250 reais (little less than 115 dollars) monthly. With that plan price, then an S4, for example, costs around 800 reais (365 dollars). Considering a brazilian regular income, it's not that great at all.
