Samsung Namaskar! This is Kanika. How may I assist you?

michael lowra :

How come the budget smartpphone, GALAXY ACE STYLE, has only 512bm ram and it uses Android 4.4.2 KITKAT???? Why can’t the GSIII (GT-I9300) international model with 1gb ram can’t receive the update? Can you elaborate?

Good Afternoon sir.

Kanika :

Please keep in touch with the samsung websites for the coming updates.

Kanika :

We seek your patience and further solicit your co-operation for the same.

michael lowra :

4.3 has done nothing but cause some issues lockscreen wake lag, random lag, ram management is a bit crappy. As soon as a update comes to address lag on android (or at least reduce it) sammy doesnt roll it out to all variants. What bothers me is they produce low quality expensive phones that will not get updates. I will have to get a HTC next as they at least have quality and if they dont update it i can use custom roms. Also having variants of the same model with different specs is stupid…

Kanika :

I do under stand your concern sir.

Kanika :

We apologize for the delay in updating the device.

michael lowra :

I am forwarding your feedback as well as the request for the updat to the concerned department.

Your conversation was pathehtic and lame. Lol. Please dont do it again.
[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
To be honest, I don't know. I have no experience in porting other than knowing that its more possible (excuse the poor phrasing) to port from devices with similar hardware (eg, I9305, N7100) rather than completely different hardware (American variants). If hardware wasn't a problem then I'd guess a direct port from the Sprint SIII would have been done some time ago.

Please... its getting nobody nowhere if you keep complaining to a service centre. Stop.
[Galaxy S III General] IMMORTALKING69:
I installed cm11 4.4.2 on my original droid RAZR and it ran way better then previous versions. But now I understand that touch wiz is the culprit. Shame. I hate any skin over vanilla android. Google needs to really tighten them down with bloat. My gs4 gpe is way faster then my gf's new gs5 bloat edition!

---------- Post added at 07:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM ----------

Speaking of gpe... When is someone going to make one for the Verizon gs3. Someone please! Cm11 is the next best except the camera and BT will never be perfect on that ROM.

It is a good rom..very fast and cool features..but i had random freezes ,cam didnt work properly and google search crashing ....baterry is also not a strong point...now i use neatrom 4.4.3 its a bit more stable than rr ..fast also...try it if u want
[Galaxy S III General] sunny1234590:
I believe We will Get 4.4

I know it can be stupid to say this again but yes, i think we will get 4.4 kitkat update. obvious even i got no idea when but i think it will happen Samsung just cant let their users get away.
[Galaxy S III General] Steccas:
Hi huys, I'm going to try an s5 port for s3, but I can't choose between 2 roms: S5 Sensation and Hypermax. In your opinion which rom is the better?
[Galaxy S III General] shad0wboss:
Keep it touchwiz ;)

Also, I'm thinking of moving away from 4.3 stock to 4.4 stock now. Do you think it's a good idea, at this stage? I have read reviews that apparently the N2 port is faster than the 4.3 stock on I9300 because tbh the wake lag and a few bugs here and there, are pissing me off :(
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
Someone advise the omni rom?
[Galaxy S III General] Steccas:
I don't know but I want to try, if I will not be satisfied I will return to CM11. Do you suggest to try hypermax or s5 sensation?
[Galaxy S III General] shad0wboss:
I have no idea about those roms as i have been on 4.3 stock for a couple of months now but I've always been a flashoholic and i feel awkward being on stock so i want to give the 4.4 a try.

Another question: Can i flash the stock kernel on 4.4? because the battery life is simply the best, on stock or am i wrong?
[Galaxy S III General] Steccas:
Personally, i will install boeffla kernel v6
[Galaxy S III General] shad0wboss:
for 4.4 N2 port? Does it have a good battery life? Please pm me the configuration, if any.

EDIT: they're the test builds though
[Galaxy S III General] Steccas:
Well boeffla it's a very good kernel, you can also undervolt to save battery, has interesting misc settings and allows you to achieve a wonderful audio quality. I will post my settings ;)
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Personally,I wouldn't recommend to go to port. Yes,it's fast,but you will hit more problems than satisfaction.

The best way is to go for AOSP and enjoy the phone. Sure,camera isn't as good as on stock but it's isn't THAT BAD either. Video recording is also smooth,so nothing major. Also,after some time on AOSP,with that speeds you will find that you don't care about the camera while you are having so fast and smooth phone,unless you're a photographer.
[Galaxy S III General] antukecik:
which aosp rom is the best for i9300?

:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] ur710:
HyperMax

hi

i have installed HyperMax v9 on my s3 everything is good but I cannot connect to the wifi.

how i can fix this :(

[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
What about casual photo-taking on AOSP? I'm no hardcore photographer but I do use the camera often to take photos (and selfies with friends, I will admit). Is the quality decent enough for everyday use at least with the fixed libs patch?
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
For me the best rom for galaxy siii it's cyanogenmod 11

[Galaxy S III General] aaz03:
The i9300 WILL get kitkat , not now but it'll get it , because there was people from SAMMY who worked on it , who compiled the rom and done the tests , all this people was paid by sammy for their job and if samsung didn't want the I9300 to get the update , it wouldn't have hired people to work on it , simply logic , plus they know where is the problem , they're close to their objective , they just have to optimize a bit touchwizz to make the update available AAAND , in the monthly update status bill , they marked the I9300 as UNSTABLE , not canceled , UNSTABLE , so just wait ;)

For the I9305 (that i got ) , i'm waiting now for 2months but nothing , idk what the **** is sammy doing but WE WANT THE UPDATE
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
To be fair enough,that's what I'm talking about. I use the camera exactly how you said.

So,after 5 months of being on aosp with that cam,I can say,that the only difference between stock and aosp cams is the noise. I mean,on stock cam you see some kind of like noise on screen when capturing. It looks nice,yeah,but on aosp you don't get that,but that doesn't mean that it's worse. It's still an 8mp goodie. Camera is usable for everyday use and for just quick unlock and shot. For me,the ONLY flaw of aosp camera is SOFTWARE.

Believe me,it's just that. To get nice effects,you need a decent third party app (though new libs added oneplus one camera,which is pretty great),but if you just don't care and only make a quick shots,then you won't even notice any difference vs stock. And video is capable of full 1080p video recording.

Also,second BIGGEST difference is the lack of anti-shake option in aosp cams,so taking pictures is laggy like with hdr on on stock camera. But in overall,if you don't care about anything rather than quality,then you have nothing to worry about.

Oh,and btw,front camera is kinda smoother than on stock,also. :)
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
In cyanogenmod there's one bug with retrica. I touch the part of the image from camera and the app stop working and i have to reboot. This is stupid and i don't know why it happens but it's only a nightly version. Have daily updates and this is amazing, because you receive the android updates so fast as the other people that have motorolas or nexus.

For those,who want fast stock 4.3 ROM to keep all it's benefits.

Download archidroid 1x,install boeffla,choose intelliactive governor (smooth and fast,zzmove moderate is also like that,but it never worked good for me),row scheduler for most,but sometimes needs a change (when downloading hude files). Touch boost off or 700 will make the best job (touch boost on eliminates scrolling lag). Then it comes zRam,the biggest tweak which does really big changes! So,if you don't care about heavy multitasking when apps are reloading constantly after being closed,then turn this off. Without zRam,phones flies,no doubt. But if you hate reloading app (fast process,really. I don't even mind that,if you ask me),then you should leave it on in cost of some lags,but don't forget to set it to 600 mb (best).

Then find pureperformance x mod,download it and flash it. And here you go,you got a lag free android 4.3! Believe,I'm using this now and in no needs of aosp speeds,everything runs beautifully in cost of some crappy multitasking which is noticeably changing. So,again,as I mentioned,reloading apps is fast proccess and not annoying + I'm using multiwindow pretty often and not changing apps often,too,but this is my personal experience.

Trying to help. =)

GT-I9301MBIDBT will bring Kitkat for all S3?

A new version of the S3 Neo is being released in Germany right now (GT-I9301MBIDBT). It obviously has identical specs (including Mali and Exynos 4412) like the int'l S3, but 1,5 Gigs of RAM. Kitkat ports for the int'l S3 should come soon.

Can't post links yet, but google GT-I9301MBIDBT.
[Galaxy S III General] obdan_van_darg:
Yes. When I first read about that device, this has been the first thing coming to my mind. Since this two devices seem to be exactly the same except for the memory, we'll finally get an almost official KitKat.

Although I have to say: The Glamour S4 ROM is so damn good, it almost transforms your S3 to an S5. Sammy has to come up with a very good firmware to make me switch again.

[Galaxy S III General] aaronsomek:
With Samsung's track record I think you'd be wiser to just flash custom ROMs from day 1. Otherwise but a different device.

CM11 or CM10.2 ?

Hey guys, i am planning to flash CyanogenMod on my S3 for first time, i have it on my old galaxy s advance and it was waaay more smooth and light compared to stock TouchWiz so i think the same will be here too. My question is which version is better CM11 or CM10.2 ? I will install a montly CM11 build not a nightly one since i dont want to flash roms every day but CM10.2 is absolutly stable and i cant deside which will me better for me. I am a casual user and if CM11 (M7 build is the latest montly now) is ok for a daily driver i will flash it. Also want to ask you how is the battery life compared to stock roms. I've heard its a little bit worse. Now ot stock with 3g/wi-fi always on i managed to take 10-12 hours battery life with moderate use. How worse is battery on CM11/10.2 ? Thanks for the help and peace. :)

P.S: Sorry for my bad English.

i heard a phone that has 512MB of RAM is getting kitkat?
[Galaxy S III General] xda_Noob.:
Its not getting kit kat it is released with kit kat (if you mean galaxy ace style)
[Galaxy S III General] hinuk:
I just don't get that why is samsung releasing kitkat to any 2gb ram s3 variant but not 1gb variants, I am currently running a archi's excellent note 2 port and it's WAY more staple and smooth than any official 4.3 jellybean rom from samsung.

Not bad for a rom that was originally in note 2 with 2gb ram, not bad at all.

Only problem that I have when I try to charge my phone when it's turned off, when I plug it in to charger it automatically turns on.

Other than that I would say that this rom is ready to be pushed to kies as official kitkat update for ours beloved gt-i9300, hmm... mayby someone sought try to hack it in to samsungs update servers :D
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
I prefer cyanogenmod. The only bad point it's the camera that works pretty bad :s
[Galaxy S III General] hinuk:
I am more of touchwiz guy myself, but mayby I sought try cm or slimcat when we got that new android L version out.

Mayby samsung is just waiting this out and releases that to our s3's :rolleyes:

But if you ask me that new android "L" is bit too white, just think what it would do to our amoled s3's that fancy new battery saving thing wouldn't help much with so much white on the screen.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Battery is not any worse. Even more,I get 3.30 scr time max with touchwiz colourful UI while on AOSP with that blacks I get 4.10hrs scr time.

Also,CM11 is a little faster than CM10.2. And even though CM10.2 is considered as stable,CM11 is still more recommended.

The only benefits of CM10.2 over CM11 are no graphic glitches and better camera.
[Galaxy S III General] obdan_van_darg:
Because Samsung is not interessted in current users, just in new devices and new buyers. Unfortunately they have a very bad reputation when it comes to updates, and they are not trying to change this at all.

When the S1 came out they really tried harder. More than 2 1/2 years after that device came out, they were still leaking roms. Normal users were not able to get them the easy way (KIES; OTA wasn't supported with the S1) but they didn't stop developing.

When Sammy skipped 4.2.2 I already had a bad feeling. 4.3 came out and it was a mess. Fortunately the next 4.3 patch made it a lot better. But that's it. Nothing else since then. They did not even leak the 4.4 version before they canceled it. If they had done this, at least the community would have had less work then they have now.

But if you take a look at such finde roms like Glamour, you can see that the community is going to bring us all the things Sammy hasn't been able (or willing) to do.
[Galaxy S III General] hinuk:
Do you think that is galaxy note ii going to get android L update, and if so would it be quick and easy to port it to our s3's

After all all the work has been done already with 4.4 port, could we use that possible note ii L rom as our base again.
[Galaxy S III General] xcicciox00:
I really believe that now is the samsung small updates to version 4.3 just to make fun of, confirmation is the galaxy s3 neo
[Galaxy S III General] obdan_van_darg:
I don't think so. There's already a Note III out there. The fourth version is already around the corner. And when L comes out much more than 18 months have passed. So...I really wouldn't expect an update.

Samsung has announced a quartet of smartphones aimed at lower tier market segments although all of them come loaded with Android 4.4. The Samsung Galaxy Core II, Samsung Galaxy Star 2, Samsung Galaxy Ace 4 and Samsung Galaxy Young 2 will help Samsung expand their Galaxy line across a wide swath of market segments and price points.

The Galaxy Core II is the “beast” of the four devices if one considers a smartphone with a 1.2GHz processor to qualify for that label. The Galaxy Core II also comes with a 4.5-inch display, a 2,000mAh battery, 768MB of RAM and a 5MP camera. Samsung did try to dress it up a bit by giving it a faux-leather back similar to their high-end devices. The Galaxy Core II does have a microSD slot and is dual SIM capable.

The Galaxy Ace 4 is a step down with a 1.0GHz processor, 512MB of RAM and a 1,500mAh battery in the 3G model. There is a 4G LTE version available that bumps up the specs to a 1.2GHz processor, a full 1GB of RAM and an 1,800 mAh battery. Both versions of the Galaxy Ace 4 come with a 5MP camera and a 4-inch screen.

Continuing on down the spectrum, the Galaxy Young 2 comes with 512MB of RAm and a single-core 1.0GHz processor powering a 3.5-inch screen. Meanwhile, the Galaxy Star 2 is similar in size with a 3.5-inch screen and 1.0GHz processor to go with 512MB of RAM.

All four of the devices will be available in shades of either black or white. No pricing or details on availability have been announced for any of the devices, but we expect they will be dirt cheap.

Really? Single-core 1GHz CPU, with 512MB RAM? What was it about the Galaxy S1 being too low spec for ICS then?

If a Galaxy Wonder with updated exterior design can get KitKat, don't tell me the S3 can't. And now they are even dragging their feet with the I9305.

[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
"Project Svelte isn't going to magically make older devices compatible with 4.4 - even Google's own Galaxy Nexus (with 1GB of RAM) isn't getting an official update, likely because of the aging OMAP SoC. But this will hopefully help devices like the original Nexus 7 and Nexus 4, not to mention upcoming low-end phones that will launch with 4.4, to better handle resources as apps become more hardware intensive."

Not directly aimed at you, but for everyone I think its something to bear in mind...
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Only a complete idiot would trust Samsung when they said that our device is not powerful enough to handle KitKat. Same with S2 and S1. It's obvious that they don't have any profit from supporting old devices, it's a COMPANY, the first objective of a company is to MAKE MONEY, not make clients happy. Making clients happy is somewhere around #9 or #11 objective ;). Either you deal with it, accept us (developers) as your saviors and support us, or you better go buy Galaxy S5.
[Galaxy S III General] Unrealwolf:
Well, actuall, they had sorta good reason not updating SGS1 - its hardware was too bad, i don't remember too good, but i think that it had too little of fast system memory, the device did lag on any firmware with any kernel and any filesystem, ICS would have only made it worse.

Anyway, were those "i9300 firmware test failed, i9305 firmware done, release scheduled for may" leaks fake? Because its july already, and there is still no news about official 4.4.

The samsung it's a ultra capitalist brand that only care with the users that buy one new phone every year.

That's nothing to do with the actual specs though, that's because OMAP no longer exist so google can't get drivers or source code. Our Exynos is made by Samsung so they could do it if they wanted.
