Well I heard that is how they got hands on that list, Samsung discarded it because of that mistake and created new.
[Galaxy S III General] Klejdi90:
Yeah I head the same lets hope its true :(
[Galaxy S III General] si3wc4:
There was a similar image leaked on november

So IMHO this could be fake (as this could be an very old information). KRT16 is KitKat 4.4, and the new KitKat is 4.4.2 KOT49H.

All Samsung devices that already been updated has KOT49H...

Sorry for my English...
[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
The picture is taken of a screen... So Samsung made a typo and threw out a laptop showing the image? Come on, clutching at straws springs to mind...
[Galaxy S III General] dirkdigles:
Could be photoshop, but -

Android 4.4.2 spotted on a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) Developer Unit
[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
Can fake that to say whatever you want, want a pic of my S3 running on android 10.4.2? Also look at the kernel date, unlikely Kitkat would be released but they're still running a kernel from 13 months ago...
[Galaxy S III General] dirkdigles:
Yeah, I'm not a believer either, however I believe that date shown is Thursday, February 13th, rather than February 2013.

(Looking at my S3 my 4.3 kernel says the same)
[Galaxy S III General] Robin2:
It's fake.. Why else would they hide kernel and build versions?

4.3 is last firmware for GS3, I don't think there will be any KK update for GS3. Just like GS2 4.1.2.

-It's shamesung way, never update for devices 2 years old.

-All android phone brand all same way not update for older devices even CPU can run KK without problem. People still love IOS because it update for all devices as long as CPU can handle newer OS.

-Sammobile leak statement is fake.
[Galaxy S III General] Andr3y29:
Actually, S3 will have 2 years since it's launch on May 5th. Then was the announcement event, but it was 1 month more before it could be bought.
[Galaxy S III General] thadoukuki:
If you are all very pessimistic and believe that everything is fake, then close this thread with the conclusion that Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 will not be getting Android 4.4.2.
[Galaxy S III General] Curst:
If this thread gets closed a few new will pop up to take its place, so i think the mods feel its better to have all the speculation in one thread until we know for sure.

KitKat 4.4 Confirmed by SAMSUNG

KitKat 4.4 Confirmed by SAMSUNG

Hai guys, SAMSUNG gonna release Android 4.4 KitKat for GALAXY S3 GT-I9300 (UAE Version) on this March end. They replied through thier Facebook page. See the below picture. Its not just a hope. Its a CONFIRMATION !! So guys, be prepared ;)

Click here to see the Facebook news

Press "Thanks" :)
[Galaxy S III General] Robin2:
The guy that responded to your message is just the person that takes care of the Samsung Facebook page in that region. I'm not sure if they are well informed enough to be able to confirm the 4.4 update for our device. It's possible that he based his answers on speculations.
[Galaxy S III General] Vishnu pv:
So? The Samsung facebook page admin can post a fake news???? No..!! Never bro. If they post anything such as replies to users, posts, etc, they well decided and 100% fully confirmed. They will never do any mistakes. Im sure. Just believe it.
[Galaxy S III General] Robin2:
I'm not saying fake news... But it wouldn't be the first time that they confirm a release date, which later is postponed again. But anyways, let's stay optimistic! :)
[Galaxy S III General] anamika:
whatever or whenever they will dish out, it cannot be better than temasek...
[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
Yeah, unless you want to use half the features of the phone, MHL, FM Radio etc, none of which work on a none stock rom.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Personally,I think I won't go back to stock. The features which custom ROMs got are fantastic (ex.: LED botification light when screen is on)! And in overall having pure android look in my phone is kinda nice because when I show my phone to people, they are liking that look more than cartoony TouchWiz.

Sure,some features are lost,but I don't use them anyways,that's why "personally".
[Galaxy S III General] tomsi91:
The important isnt the official rom, nobody wants to use poor stock rom. Custom roms made from official kitkat will be awesome and with all functionality like mhl, etc.
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
Ill stay away from AOSP as long as they dont have working HWC , expirience without it is terrible , visual glitches and extreamly bad web brwosing performance ..............................just cant handle it.
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Actually we have some good stock ROMs such as ArchiDroid 1.X or Neat. Even if I really like KitKat and ArchiDroid 2.X, I still keep using my ArchiDroid 1.X based on stock only because the battery life is much better.

You can't say that it doesn't matter because apart from sammy roms, this will also benefit AOSP because of updated blobs and perhaps some changes in the kernel. Nothing to lose, everything to gain.
[Galaxy S III General] ayoubij:
They do sometimes mistake I remember a Samsung facebook official page posted we are getting 4.2 update but we never got it :p
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Only because 4.3 has come fast enough.
[Galaxy S III General] Havoc-X:
4.3 came too fast. It was buggy and slow. After running an AOSP kitkat rom for a week, i tried to reflash a 4.3 sammy cause lets face it, AOSP battery is bad, but i just couldnt get used the 4.3 jelly bean. Its really much slower / laggier in comparison.
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
You didn't try ArchiDroid 1.X, did you? :)
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
True. Use archi's rom if you dont know how to tweak stock rom.

Galaxy S III 4.3 update isn't Satisfactory

Im Agree With you man when i updated my Friend's Galaxy S III I experienced following things.

1. Handset acceleration decreased

2. Lags Much

3, Overall not much satisfactory.

It will be better if we get 4.4 Update with Super Performance not lags like 4.3 do
[Galaxy S III General] gieffe22:
guys WIPE WIPE WIPE and use latest release (na7-nb6)...its obviuos that the first version of 4.3 (mk6) was not mature as latest release of 4.1.2 that were developed for 1 year...but the 4.3 is a huge better step mostly in gpu power(up to 35% in 3d performance)!
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
True. Just install NA7 or NB6 then factory reset. It is super smooth.
[Galaxy S III General] techno-np:
Yup NA7 & NB6 much better than any previous 4.3 release. ..

I am now rocking ArchiDroid 1.7 !!! Super fast with bofella kernal ..love it with dark theme ...

It does work, but reliably with a lot of BT devices, that includes a great many carkits and headsets. That is my biggest problem, here in the Netherlands you and I need to use a carkit or otherwise we get a fine as big as the price of a new SGS3 ;)

Guys, the truth is, even if we by some miracle got KitKat, it would probably screw up our devices more than it is. Its funny how every time there's a new android update, Samsung manages to always make the news with headlines like "Users experiencing battery drain and lag issues after XXX update"

He ported 4.4.2 kit kat to our s3 but he didnt published. I dont know how but he has done.

EDIT It can be also a port from Note2 4.4.2 testfirmware
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
If he did he would post it on forums, but all i see is some bloat ported from s4 to s3...

Only chance of S3 ever getting 4.4 ported roms is if Note 2 gets official 4.4.

So whats your point? It keeps updating it.. Because it respects its customers.
[Galaxy S III General] szotaa:
If I had a big phone company I would update my phones as long as possible, because this move would bring me a lot of customers dissapointed by HTC, Samsung and LG update policies. And thats also why apple updates their smartphones, to make their phones more attractive. (Who wouldnt like to have a phone with update guaranteed)

[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
If you look at it the othet way, Samsung has a truckload of different devices. (Perhaps to their downfall) The amount of resources they have to push to provide updates for many of these products are massive. In one week alone they push out upwards of 150 or 200 different firmware updates for different models. (Take a look at Sammobile's weekly firmware list)

I agree with you in what you said, don't get me wrong though.
[Galaxy S III General] szotaa:
I doubt that this is a problem for a worldwide company. I also doubt that updating process is expensive from company point of view. The reason they dont update is because other companies also dont. (why spent money on updating, Samsung doesnt update, HTC doesnt update, nobody updates their devices so customers wont have any choice anyway).
[Galaxy S III General] patrickslee:
I won't be surprised if samsung doesn't update s3 to 4.4. It's a 2 years old device after all. 2 years in gadget's terms today is like last century.
[Galaxy S III General] syamsoul:
The period of 2 years of update is bullsh*t. Every company should update their device, at least their flagship device untill no one is complaining, and free of bugs.
[Galaxy S III General] patrickslee:
I too wish manufacturers support their devices long into the future. But from an economic point of view the better way is to build new and better products.

And also, having worked as a software developer for over a decade I have to say "bug free" is something that is never going to happen.
[Galaxy S III General] Warrenforfree:
Maybe It's a business strategy not to give updates to a certain device for along period of time bcoz if that happen, we the people, owns I9300 will hisitate to upgrade

to higher end models until support are still rolling like just my self, so let's wait for the magic happen, there's still the month of april, lets don't rush things just like 4.3 is

being annouce, maybe it's the same goes to 4.4 if there is. who knows one day on the next month updates are starting to roll.
[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:

s3 getting kitkat
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
Is it about international version or US version.
[Galaxy S III General] Klejdi90:
Im guessing its the US as its confirmed by some networks.
[Galaxy S III General] Cristi10:
Why do you all guys think that only the us version will get kitkat? I mean it doesn't make sense for Samsung to update the s3 in only one region. Remember the htc one s? Because of the different models htc didn't update neither of them (the snapdragon s3 version didn't received new drivers from qualcomm for higher versions of android). So it will be like that with s3 or all of the versions will get 4.4. But in my opinion i think we will get the update so you need to chill a little bit.
[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
Is this thread now just a post a rumour from a random site no-ones ever heard of

Completely different hardware and double the amount of ram, although I don't believe that's an issue as KK can run on 512mb easily, but it could be samsungs BS excuse.

If what you say is true, then that means he got the rom to boot on a GS3... So then he would already have overcome the obstacles from the bootloader and emmc.

I also believe that he began porting from the recent GS5 4.4.2 and not the Note 2 leak.

yes the rom is booting but hardware acceleration is broken and the rom is unusable. This is the maximus he can reach without samsung code.

He start obviusly from note2 because the hardware is the same of s3 and still most of drivers not work . Gs5 is totally different hardware and it's a totally impossible.

Anyway he's working on new glamour rom v6 that will have many apps of s5 working!

[Galaxy S III General] shoalinagent:
I'm just surprised they are pulling their fingers out on this one. Remember how long we waited for 4.2? And we were flagship at that stage. Heck if they do a decent enough job (and 4.3 wasn't too bad) I might even go back to stock.

i9300 | temasek 4.4.2 | boeffla kernel
[Galaxy S III General] ballsofsteel:
To be fair they skipped 4.2 to go straight to 4.3, which they delivered. The S3 is a really lucky phone with regards to software updates. It may not be the first priority of Samsung anymore, but Samsung still does give a toss about it. I really do hope the 4.4 update will fix the S3's multitasking problem.

Heck, not even the Galaxy Nexus, which debuted the 4.0 software, got 4.4 officially!
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
I really hope that samsung releases 4.4 for s3.

But 4.3 is also amazing, after rooting anf debloating almost completely I have no multitasking issues.

I have used AOSP (CM11, temasek, omni) for almost a week and found free ram is almost the same on stock and AOSP around 300-350 mb.

So for me stock is working really good for me, better than AOSP, maybe in the future if there is no 4.4 for s3 by samsung then I might go to AOSP roms.

But for now s3 is rocking with 4.3 stock.
