One things extremely funny... or worrying. What if Android KitKat is supposed to be low-spec friendly, yet Samsung's crap make KitKat resource hungry instead; right the opposite? :p

Don't know about 4.4 but we are supposed to get 4.3 in oct.
[Galaxy S III General] fotbal5:
I still see people that do not understand at all KitKat is ex android version 5 just that they did a nice move and didn't made like chome on pc where tthey got to version 30, no point to change to 5.0 if you can go to 4.9. As for the name, I like it. I think that s3 will get 4.4 or higher.

Can't wait.

Its called kitkat because android owner was using its logo as avatar for quite a time. Readed that somewhere.

It's called Candy Cane. I doubt they'd spell it wrong just for a name, lol.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Part of the reason for name change was that outside of America no one knew what key lime pie was.......strangely I was in Marks and Spencer's (UK store) and they recently started stocking KLP, and the only reason I could think was that rumoured Google naming had influenced stocking!.....bad choice M&S!
[Galaxy S III General] Mafioso:
Just like of current version of Jelly Bean which s3 has. JB was supposed to make things smoother with project butter and all that, but I feel the opposite had happened. S3 used to run like a dream on ICS but about current JB, the less said the better :P

I remember reading MSN news and it said Kitkats are all gonna have the Android logo on it but it didn't say anything about the financial details of the deal, But I'm betting Kitkats will have prizes you can win of probably Nexus devices.

That was stated nearly in any news that you can win Nexus devices by buying kitkat.

Google has tied up with McDonald's for their next version of Android "Big Mac" due for release at xmas 2015..... since KITKAT can work with phones with 500 mb ram and we all know ours has 1 gb so Samsung had decided it will skip the present version of Android and update gs3 straight to "Big Mac" which will be better suited for devices with 1 gb Ram. ....:):):):):):beer::beer::beer::beer:

[Galaxy S III General] w1nter456:
So they will skip once Again 4.2 to 4.3 skip to 4.4,and when but the time 5.0 out, they will skip 4.4 and 5.0 and so on...enjoy your 4.1.2 touchwiz
[Galaxy S III General] bob1369:
Whereas the s4 with 2gb of ram gets 4.4 because clearly it's a lower end device .......... oh how deluded one can be
[Galaxy S III General] elitman:
So we still do not have 4.3 and. 4.4 is already out??
[Galaxy S III General] samkent6:
S3 i9300 is supposed to be receiving 4.3 in the next week or so, if not I am going to assume they've skipped 4.3 so they can fill 4.4 with all their memory hungry touchwiz ;)
[Galaxy S III General] FrankyDoodle:
Then when 4.5 or 5.0 comes out they skip 4.4 and S3 will get discontinued still running 4.1.2

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Talents:
I have just purchased i.Tech BlueCON35 and Clip S35, totally at USD100.

I plugged the BlueCON into the headset socket of my i-mate JAM through a 2.5mm adapter and paired up with Clip S35. The stereo music is good - far more than just acceptable.

The BlueCON is of dimension 58 x 42 x 9 mm and weighs 14.5 grams. It uses 1 x AAA battery for up to 9 hours for a range of up to 10 meters. It is of bluetooth v1.2 supporting A2DP. It can be plugged into the jack output of any audio device to convert it to support bluetooth stereo.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Ave:
I also have it, but I don't like to connect my Magician with BlueCON35 using the adapter. What I want to do now is find the way to put BlueCON35 into the Magician's case.

I'm trying to find the small size of mobile phone battery, then modify it and replace to the standard battery so I will get the empty space in the case. After that, I will remove the case of BlueCON35 and put it (the circuit board of BlueCON35) in the empty space in the Magician's case.

But I don't think that it'll be possible because the space is really too small.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] mwheeler2:
Clip S35...

Where did you find the S35 you mentioned? Looking for sellers and can't seem to find a seller (aside from eBay) with any available.

Thanks in advance,

Mick...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Ave:
Mick, try to visit to http://www.itechdynamic.com, there's the company's website of these products.

Yesterday I tried my S35 with Nokia 6600 using BluePlayer (software to play MP3 from Nokia to S35 wirelessly) the overall of the testing is good. Better for people who using Nokia phone with Symbien OS. I'm in Thailand and Clip S35 cost is about 3,400 baht (40 baht = 1USD) and Nokia 6600 doesn't need BlueCON, only Clip S35 is enough.

Well with all that being said,I wonder when they'll release the code for 5.0...I had thought that 5.0 would of been a version for tablets,something like honeycomb was...Is the i717 even going to be able to run KK ? I saw on androidpolice that they are trying to use as little ram as possible,something like 512mb....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ProFresh4:
Personally I think that 4.1.2 was the last official update the i717 will get from Samsung. But I am sure once the source code drops the Devs will be all over it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] shayneflashindaily:

I keep wondering why samsung wants to drop official support to this device when according to articles I've read the new android updates will only require 512mb of ram to function...When I had a HTC device,specifically the Inspire 4G I could understand why but with samsung I'm completely puzzled...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Frankenbiker:
It has nothing to do with device specs. Scott Hart is happily running 4.3 on the Samsung Infuse, a device with half the horsepower that our Note's have.

They want you to buy a new device, so they stop supporting the older devices.

It's all about the Benjamins.

Android 4.4 KitKat source code is available. Who'd like to take bets on how long we wait before it's ported to our device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Two weeks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
Google has this placement on 18 months,anything after 18 months usually drops support...a good reason why the GNex won't get an official 4.4 update but that might be different for our device considering our device isn't even 15 months old
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Really now:
You got me wondering Zero so I had to look up the receipt for my note. I bought it Feb 21st 2012 which I believe was the first week that AT&T offered it. Anyway, that puts us just outside of the 18 month window by a couple of months and as slow as AT&T is at releasing updates I wouldn't hold my breath. Besides that, it isn't Google that would be putting out the update, it would be Samsung and I think they would rather that we bought a new phone! Anyway, I hope you're right and I'm wrong especially since so far I'm not seeing another phone that I'd rather have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ZacksBuilds:
Its funny because they all like OH WE SUPPORT OLD DEVICES. But they never got official KitKat to the galaxy nexus. Kind if ironic to me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xZeroMancerx:
You know I might be wrong but you made a point Feb 12 to Feb 13 is one year..so yeah the note is a few months over...well I'm sure within the next week/2 weeks..we'll have an unofficial release circulating around here...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] goalcam:
Aside from the Nexus devices, whether or not a device receives a new version of Android is determined by the manufacturer, not Google. Google does not release Android ROMs for any device outside of the Nexus brand. It's up to Samsung to produce a i717 ROM and up to the individual carriers to release it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ddochi11:
Google Nexus thing is a completely different matter. It used a Texas Instruments chipset and TI has since stopped making chips for mobile devices. So, they are no longer providing any support for the update, and Google can't do anything about it.

And the idea of Google "supporting" old devices is different from "releasing official updates" for older phones. Releasing an official update is a whole different process, which involves too many other moving parts, which was discussed at length before we got our JB update.

With Kitkat, it will be optimized to run on phones with less horsepower. Google cannot possibly release an official update for all android phones. Instead, they are designing Kitkat to accommodate older devices, which is more than good enough for our wonderful android community and the devs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
Every time Google releases a new ROM, I hit up Samsung customer service asking them when will they release that version to the Galaxy Note. Of course I get back the same clap-trap every time that they don't know. Maybe if enough of us did the same, maybe Samsung would have an incentive to release an update :fingers-crossed: I'm surprised that the Galaxy S III is getting 4.3 and it has almost the same specs as ours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JamieD81:
Huh... s3 had quadcore and 2gb ram, nothing like our aged devices at all.

If we had any chances of official updates past 4.1.2 we would see skyrocket leaks as they always got releases first and they haven't.

kitkat on note

Guess our only way to have kitkat will be with custom roms.

Are there stable 4.4 roms for i717 now?

I'm planning on trying out the Avatar version (love having the simpsons theme-drives my wife crazy)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Poriotis:
In general kitkat is more stable than any other version of Android that has come out. I use JamieD81's CM11 p11 and I have been able to run this ROM for 13 days without a reboot (I posted the 10th day in JamieD81's thread). Regardless, there are still some bugs but have found work-arounds. The ones I am aware of are as follows:

Camera: Although JamieD81's CM11 p12 camera works fine, some of the other KitKat ROMS are still having issues. The work-around is to use a third-party app like A Better Camera.

MP4 Videos: The Gallery crashes if you play third-party mp4 videos (not from the camera). Work-around, put a ".nomedia" file in the folder and use a third-party player like ES File Explorer.

Flickering screen: Work-aound, disable HW Overlays or there are some patches posted in JamieD81's CM11 thread that can be installed.

Netflix does not work: There is a patch posted in JamieD81's thread.

Those are all I can think of. Other than that, the ROMs run great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] akilleze:
Thanks

Thank you for all the work arounds.

I had read that there were issues with the camera, and a few other things.

Now I'm a lot more excited to try it!

Since his links point to dev-host now I also searched there for i717, quincyatt and JamieD81. Only turned up a modem for an HTC One.

:(

I am not turning up any of these roms anywhere I search.

Anyone still have them and willing to put them up somewhere to share with people?

Anyone like me looking for a stable CM11 would be really grateful!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dparrothead1:
Here.....but I'm not sure he ever got to CM11.

Edit: You could hit him up on G+....his name is Jamie Doege, he may have some of his builds but he's not building anymore.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] computerinfo21:
The CM11 ROMs he compiled that I am looking for are from this thread:

Hi

My phone have freezed a couple of times and the battery drain fast. Have done alot of flashing Stock roms due to problems after restored imei file.

phone is now working.

I am now on Jelly bean rooted With PhilZ-cwm6. After I rooted it I used Kies to restore a full back(made when I was on jelly bean without root). Maybe that is the problem. Maybe I should have restored the backup With Samsung kies before rooting.

Maybe try to reset the phone. which one of the option below should I choose. Does any have any advice?

1) Flash Stock JB With Odin

2) Flash Stock JB With odin + pit files?

3) do a wipe data /factory reset(I am on philz-cwm kernel)?

4) or og into settings/backup and reset/factory data reset , here check the Format USB Storage. (could I do this on rooted phone or should I unroot first)

Help is much appriceated:)!!

I am an Samsung Galaxy SII owner right now and i was looking for a bigger phone with fullHD screen an so on. One of the things i care about a phone, is the resitance of the display, like my SII, one of the strongest phones I had.
