Leaked Samsung schedule has KitKat hitting Galaxy S 4

samsung_kitkat_schedule

Here’s some good news if you own Samsung’s Galaxy S 4 and Galaxy Note 3. Android 4.4 KitKat should arrive in just under three months. According to a leaked schedule obtained by iTechAddict, Samsung plans to update those two flagships in January. They list the Galaxy S 3 and Galaxy Note 2 to receive KitKat as well. Those two are scheduled to receive the update in March or April. Samsung is likely pegging their flagships for a January update due to HTC announcing its plans to have KitKat ready by then for the HTC One.

So we should see our kit kat update about what, July or August? I will have already moved on to a different device..

Pfft....I'm not holding my breath. I believe that when it is on my phone. :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dieGeist:
I don't understand why it takes T-Mobile so much time to add Moviel's stupid wi-fi calling package to the phone after the official release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hoggles:
It is a little baffling.... The biggest WTF with Tmo's updates for the S4, is why is the M919 still only officially on MDL??

That's the real question....

Tmo couldn't even be bothered to roll out the HUGE second major 4.2.2 update MGA (that literally every other carrier on the planet rolled out many months ago) , that addressed smearing, camera firmware, and a host of other major improvements.

I feel bad fore the people that need WiFi calling and have no choice but to use the flawed official MDL firmware.

I wouldn't be at all upset if they skipped 4.3 and went straight to 4.4...as long as that came by Feb at the latest. MGA & Nova is flying and buttery smooth on our M919's.

Again, thank gawd for the international updates....and XDA :highfive:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 'Murica:
T-Mobile is smart and waits to release updates, because of all the bugs when other carriers release it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dieGeist:
i don't need wi-fi calling but I like having it. battery life is awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
i know one thing. This nexus 5 in my hands is lovely. Especially now that i dont have to wait for tmobile or samsung to push updates. just solf my s4 for $450 too.

Watch now that i left samsung updates will be allot quicker

Autodesk sketchbook pro for galaxy note - think the tablet comes with a link to download/install it directly for free
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Themes and Apps] cspradlin:
Yep, comes with it. Doesn't say pro in the title, but it's all the same features slightly rearranged. It's good. If you open up the apps screen, then click on "Galaxy", it should pop up a couple different apps. Almost all of them are just links to install. Sketchbook for Galaxy is what you are after. Click it, install it, and have fun!

Its because of the theme. The theme is incompatible with Google keyboard

Hello,

I installed OTA 4.3 yesterday and now whenever I am trying to update any app on Google Play, it just stops working. Restarting also is not helping. I get the message "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." followed by "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and phone hangs for a long period. These is the first message i receive when i turn my phone on. If I clear data, uninstall updates and force stop google play then it let me install Latest version of Google play apk. everything works fine till I try to update any app. again it crashes and the same cycle goes on .... This google play stopped notification is continuously coming every second. Please help.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] winosxbuntu:
clear cache for google play store app and reboot that might work

if it doesnt factory reset and wiping cache for every app or whole phone might fix it

Hi devs and readers,

I am having Samsung galaxy s3 international version running on Android Jellybean 4.1.2 with base band version as 19300XXEMA5 . Upto today I have not found a rooting tutorial prescribed for 19300XXEMA5 firmware. Pls help me on rooting my phone. Also guide me on rooting by a small tips and tutorial......
[General Questions and Answers] Ibrahim9999:
As your device is well know this is quite easy.

Download FramaRoot: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2130276

Go to the bottom of the first post and click on Framaroot-1.6.1.apk, download will begin.

Install the app, and just select the root option.

So you can root your SGS3 without computer!

If this help rooting your device don't forget to thanks this post! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] karthickbalablue:
framaroot doesn't works

Sorry becoz framaroot doesn't works fo my kernel. Samsung patched the hole in the kernel by which the framaroot works through the last kernel update..... so framaroot doesn't works. Anyway thanks for your help.
[General Questions and Answers] Ibrahim9999:
Then try Z4Root, SRSRoot, SuperOneClick.

Enough possibilities :)

But do you know how they work?
[General Questions and Answers] karthickbalablue:
using odin....

While I googled I found, Chain Fire odin flashing is the most popular for my phone. But it seems to be varying for each firmware version. And for my 19300XXEMA5 I cant find any method or cf root .md5 file. Thats why I seeked xda....

Again thanks for helping....:good:
[General Questions and Answers] Ibrahim9999:
So you will be trying to root with ODIN?
[General Questions and Answers] karthickbalablue:
confused

No. Am not sure. If there is another safe and risk free way like framaroot, I would select it. If there was any other secure method tell me pls....

Thanks for again helping:good:
[General Questions and Answers] Ibrahim9999:
Yes, SRSRoot is definitely safe, I used 3 times to root a device, twice it didn't do it and nothing bad happened, so it's safe.

It's a universal one click root program for android 4.0 or higher.

Link to SRSRoot site: http://www.srsroot.com/

Don't forget to enable usb-debugging and install the correct drivers for your device.

Hope it'll work now

Hey guys,

I dropped my phone and broke its screen, digitizer and LCD.. So I currently need to change it, do you have any suggestion where I could buy this screen?

I'm in the United States, PA right now, so if you know a place that could ship to there..

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 General] unlock.mk:
You can buy this . This complete lcd with touch screen and glass.

If u buy just glass , u will not be able to change it by yourself, and honestly if someone change it, it will not looks as good as complete package.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevthedancer:
Hi Guys

My phone appears to have died... I was trying to run a few things at the same time. Podcast addict, google maps with directions, gps... and suddenly everything started throwing up error messages and resetting themselves repeatedly!

Suddenly the screen went blank and the phone kept on vibrating!

I tried restarting the phone... it didn't get any further than the Red M (of death).... and it was still vibrating continuously!

I did a soft reset (i think that is what it is called... Power + Vol down) and that finally stopped the vibrating, but it still wouldn't get any further than the Red M...

And that is pretty much all that I get no matter what I try.

I've tried Power + Vol up + Vol down. It just cycles to the Red M, then does the little cricket noise then blank screen, then back to Red M....

I've tried Power + Vol Down + Camera... turns it off... but then if I turn it back on, or plug in a power cable then it goes back into the Red M cycle...

In short my phone is fooked!

Do any of you have any super secret button combos/hacks/magic that can bring my phone back from the dead?

Cheers.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ICuaI:
Hold Power + Vol- permantly, when phone vibrates leave immediatly power and keep holding vol- until a menue appears. browse with vol- to recovery and select it with vol+

There you can make a factory reset (data-wipe)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevthedancer:
Well... that half worked!

I got to the Boot mode selection menu, then selected Recovery Mode, and got this message...

"read from /dev/block/mmcblk0 failed: I/O error"

Any more hacks?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupioscire:
mmcblk0 is the raw name of sd-card partition. In this case the internal I think (but not sure, try to boot your phone without external sd-card; if that fails too, it is caused by internal)

So I think the solution for the problem is to format the sd-card partition. But your recovery can't access it, that why you have to try it per fastboot/adb or with flashing homemade fastboot.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevthedancer:
I think you're right. I've tried it with and without the SDcard and i get the same result.

Also...there is a previous error when the Boot Mode Selection Menu first starts that says

So....tell me more about this fastboot business...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupioscire:
Your problem is pretty strange, but here you go:

First you need the correct firmware. Download it from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2239706

Then you need drivers and the RDS lite software from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974568

There you find more information about the procedure.

Gesendet von meinem XT890 mit Tapatalk
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevthedancer:
Thanks. I'll try that when I get home. (Why do these things always happen while I'm on holidays?)

Seeing as how I'll be starting from scratch would it be possible for me to say install an alternative android version on there. One of the cyanogen mods for example? Would this require downloading a different firmware?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevthedancer:
It isn't looking good...

My phone comes up with this error

And RSDlite looks like the attached png...

Have I irreversably bricked my phone?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cupioscire:
That's not good. I've already got this in mind before. Some part of your internal storage is heavily corrupted. It can't even flash the new partition table (gpt).

I can't say if it's a irreversibly brick, but I doesn't know a solution atm..

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majinfusion:
You can always give this a shot:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2184877

I bricked my phone awhile ago trying to use RSDLite (which was a huge mistake), more than few times and that post saved me days of frustration.

Pretty much:

1. Unrar

2 . Install Drivers

3. Turn phone off (if able to)

4. Connect to pc

5. Hold the Camera button and power on until the green light comes on, it'll stay on longer than normal if you have a custom recovery installed.

6. Run the Unbrick.bat

You can try reading up on this, but I can tell you from first hand experience since I was not even able to access the custom recovery (save me an error, that this saved my phone from being nothing than a paperweight.

Bricked and then stuck on red M boot cycle.

Hope it helps.

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trevthedancer:
Thanks for all your help guys... I gave in in the end. The phone is still on warrenty so I'm sending it back to Tesco. Hopefully they will send me a new one!

That is going to take about 2 weeks to get though... so in the meantime I think I'm going to get myself a Nexus 5! :victory:

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micash:
Nothing works on my razr except the green led, it doent even vibrate.

i tried various combinations of these unbrick.bat, nothing solved my issue.

but there is still that windows connection sound when i link it up...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
The green led and black screen indicates that you are in medfield flash mode (when using camera button to start). If after the windows sound u have something with 'medfield *' under device manager the drivers work.

And if then the unbrick.bat don't work u need to do it manually or there is another problem.

If u don't have the device in device manager, u will need to install the drivers correctly.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micash:
How do you mean i have to do it manually? The medfield drivers seem to be installed properly i checked in device manager.

I guess my bootloader was totally destroyed after i tried to flash (apparently the wrong version of) TWRP over CWM.

I was on your kitkat 4.4.4. before ;)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
U could try to do the commands manually and see what kind of errors u get.

But how can the bootloader get corrupted while u are flashing the recovery. Weird error u got there.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micash:
While flashing it seem the process has stopped on the phone because i did wait about an hour so i forced a reboot and boom.

OK ill try with cmd later on and report my results. But i wont bet on success here...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micash:
I tried to run manually this line at first:

xfstk-dldr-solo.exe --fwdnx dnx

after 5 seconds it disconnects the medfield toolkit in device manager. Tried with this one:

xfstk-dldr-solo.exe --fwdnx dnx --fwimage ifwi --v

Strange USB I/O Exception, though medfield stays connected the whole time.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazou:
That seems like an EMMC error. Something this device has sometimes. Some get it, most don't. You are probably one of the unlucky ones.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micash:
bad news..is it irreparable with that or any way to get a fix on it?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micash:
looking back at the screenshot, doesnt it succeeded the flash? i guess it retried after the i/o error and finished properly because there is a firmware download completed log and it doesnt break up and keeps running until 100%. maybe a low battery charge? well if its low, i cant even recharge it with usb.

Are you still able to reboot to recovery a.k.a CWM ?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikunalgautam:
if u wiped all, that means u using CWM. boot into recovery by pressing home+volumeUP+power , wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/batterystats and flash any rom from LGP500 thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisjm00:
The title says it all. My brothers Note 2 will only boot past the Galaxy Note 2 boot screen if it is connected to the charger. It doesn't matter if it is a USB or wall charge. If the phone is connected to a power source it boots into the system fine, however, once you remove it from the power source it turns off. I was wondering if it could be a bad battery but the charge is showing it at almost 80%. Has anyone ran into something like this before? If I try to boot the phone without it being connected, it sits at the Note 2 screen for about 15 seconds and then shuts itself off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DX.Deception:
I'm not really sure but it sounds like the internals of the battery are closing up (shorting). Are you able to get another battery to test and see if it is the battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] technoracy:
Note 2 - Boots , Loops, No SDS Detected as per eMMC checker on play store

Having same issues

Seems it hardware plus software issue.

Running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean

Happened after installing few games .

Goes in constant boot loop

Can start by attaching power cord only to socket.

With USB attached to Laptop .. still goes in loop

Powerbank is workaround.

Seems to reboot when saving to sd card ..

Will keep posted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chrisjm00:
The problem, after getting a stock image back on the phone, ended up being a bad battery. The phone wouldn't hold a charge even though the charging image showed otherwise. Once you get a working image on there, try replacing the battery. I ordered an eight dollar cheapo battery from Amazon and it worked like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] naselKiDD:
I second this. My phone went down Saturday. Thought it was something with CyanogenMod 11, but flashing back to stock did nothing. Replaced the battery, haven't had any problems since.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] technoracy:
Thats first thing i did .. checked different battery ..

Battery is fine .. its not battery issue .. atleast in my case ..

i checked for SDS .. my phone has no SDS insane bug either .. though symptoms were same .

I have backup phone, using it.

I showed for mobile repair.

Said he will solve it .

So plan to take tomorrow.

I can root and all..

But after this booting dont want to brick it ..

So plan to do it via the mobile repair shop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lulavc:
Had same issue. Solved after replace the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mddcflimsreal:
I have the same issue right now as well. I was on stock for awhile and used casual one click method, switched between a few roms. Than it started happening after that. So I flashed back to stock on odin and still have that issue. Havent figured it out yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] onelivewire:
Boot cycle loop

I have had this issue and replacing the battery did the trick. I was having issues with the battery beforehand. once the battery showed as being at 17% the phone would start the reboot cycle and not fully boot until it was plugged in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Benjamin osei:
Have same problem here.....All these started when I replaced my bulge battery. New battery doesn't hold power below 20%. Phone goes off in boot cycle until plugged in a charger
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] suntreepops:
Try to boot on USB/PC data connection

When connected t PC-system will boot to a point. PC indicates new connection then looses it and Note 2 returns to flash screen. Problem start when using corporate email and encrypted data. Works w/o error connected to wall charger. Disconnect crashes system. Flashes screen forever. No diagnostics. Did all SW reboots. Doubt battery, but will try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Zombtastic:
Did you ever test a new battery/figure it out?

Mine is doing the same thing I think. I only boots if connected to a wall charger. If connected to PC with USB it will boot to the [T-Mobile in my case] boot screen, connect to PC for a split second (long enough to make the connection sound in windows, then I can't find it) and it stays on that screen. Without being connected to either, or after pulling plug, it turns off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fokov:
Same problem here with mine :(

can't be just the battery because it will stay on w/o charger when in download/recovery mode or if it gets stuck on the Verizon screen.

I do not believe in rumor that it will have 30 degree flexible body but i hope that will be more metal than it is in S4.

However, i will buy it if there is G version of google, cos i do not want my device to be overloaded with tons of unuseble Samsung apps.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Dean-xXx:
First of all that camera in the middle top where the ear piece grill should be, looks too much like iphone 5.

They will never give up on the hardware home button for the galaxy s line, which is a good.. i like the home button.

The hardware is expected to be as advertised in the concept video.

The flexible chassis ... i bet will not be there. Aluminium 50/50 chances.

4000mah battery? Seriously? Keep dreaming, maybe we will get a 3100 but nothing more.

Anyway... at the moment i'm very dissapointed with my s4. The phone is amazing, the software is garbage...since i bought the phone i cannot fully enjoy because every update has some issues. Do we ask so much if we want a lag/stutter free phone in 2013? I mean seriously is pathetic.....and NO! i don't like custom roms or anything like this, i got used with TW and i love it and i want it to run flawlessly on a device with these specs.

If samsung not gonna improve on releasing finished, well done updates, this is will be my last samsung phone.
