Interesting...

It seems there is a build for the GT-i9300 but samsung struggles to implement their apps. The system fails to load the system apps after booting. RAM IS NOT THE PROBLEM!!!

As you can see the document says "Cancelled for NOW". That means MAYBE they will start working on it again. Other than that the build is called I9300XXUHND1 with Android 4.4.2 and probably with 3.4 Kernel like the other updated S3's.

"Samsung is having a bit of trouble implementing its TouchWiz applications, which is stopping the device from loading system apps. At least one thing is clear that RAM is not an issue with the Galaxy S III"

from sammobile and just wondering what is difference between 9300 and 9305 probably they just want to delay or maybe knox issue like they couldnt add it on 4.3 or something we dont realy know in deep.

This is quite strange because of that

http://ukonio.de/samsung-galaxy-s3-...kitkat-ende-mai-rollout-mobile-digital-46973/

Samsung says that they will rollout KitKat in Germany for the S3 (GT-I9300) at the end of may.

"Now even the Galaxy S III is concerned with the Android update to 4.4.2 KitKat. The rollout for the Samsung Galaxy S III to be launched end of May."

We should be happy that Samsung is at least trying to update the i9300.

The problem is mostly software related.I suspect it is knox or a major samsung system app causing the problem. I contacted my friend in samsung and he says that development is in progress already there for 10 countries but nothing is finalized yet.

Sure, unless you actually use and depend on almost all the stock functionality(stable BT and camera just to name a few).

[Galaxy S III General] goughymachine:
This for me. Haven't had one yet where my BT works perfectly with my car (does in stock) and have had the odd camera crash, not the end of the world but nothing worse than having to reboot to try and capture something in a hurry.

I wonder if it's got to do with them actually wanting to implement Knox in it, and that doesn't play with the 1gb. Aren't all the others (including i9305) getting Knox in their builds?

I'm not surprised to see this happening. I don't really think any other companies with phones from that period are getting updated?? So I don't think sammy is any worse than any of the others. Doesn't make it any less annoying. And the fact sammy keeps stuff secret so we can't get fully functioning cm/aosp builds is quite annoying. I understand why they do it, but still annoying.

This is probably my last sammy phone, but because my wife and I have decided to purchase our phones outright (we're in the land of Oz) where many many people will get their phones on contract plans, and you are limited with choice. I will look at cheaper outright phones like the Nexus or something and take into account whether fully function aosp builds are available for the phone for when it's update cycle ends. Heck, even Nexus phones have a limited update life, but i'm assuming that cm builds for them are fully working?

+1 I think Samsung tried to implement knox on it
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
RAM? Start using logic again guys, SGS3 was the "last" model without KNOX on Jelly Bean 4.3 update, i9305, Note II and all new models got Knox. Why? Because Samsung didn't have time to implement e-fuse into SGS3 motherboard, they planned that back with Note 2 release, that's why we're the only device with Jelly Bean 4.3 and no Knox by default.

So where is problem you ask? Why they should release another update if there's no possibility of implementing Knox? :D Maybe because Android 4.4 is far more optimized than 4.3 and consumes less memory? Yeah, definitely this is the problem with the update :D.

Just my theory and 3 cents of course, you can trust whatever you want.

[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
Its possible that they just made a typo or that their engineers don't speak perfect english (remember Samsung's Sotuh Korea based and all updates start there). In that same way if they did speak perfect english they would probably have said "App implementation" as opposed to "Apps implement".

Also I agree with your last statement.
[Galaxy S III General] eskorpiao112:
I think not
[Galaxy S III General] memebr:
I'm just in this thread for the lulz, he he :laugh:

[Galaxy S III General] .NetRolller 3D:
I would say this most likely *is* a RAM problem. Probably by the time Android loads the last Samsung (cr)app, the ones loaded firat start to get closed by LMK.

Once I9305 gets an update, the I9305 FW + N7100 baseband + ported I9305 kernel with zram added should work on the I9300. Heck, a debloated I9305 FW could even run without any kernel magic.

I wonder if any of Samsung's built-in apps is being updated (through Samsung Apps) for I9305, but not I9300 - that's the most likely culprit.

I think I'll switch to either HTC or LG when the S5 fails to impress. It's got nothing to do with the update policy on Samsung phones as I didn't expect them to release 4.4 for the S3 in the first place. The premium look of the One does appeal to me and I'm curious to see what its successor will look like.
[Galaxy S III General] -Aatif-:
Yes that's true that Galaxy Grand has also 1 GB Ram so how will Samsung update it ? then why Samsung is not going to Update our S3? i think The reason being this that S3 has completed his life circle of 20 months... or We may Hope for Good News on Monday from Mr. Samsung's President .. he also given the news about 4.3 update on Note 3 unpacked Episode . I hope We will get The update which will may be be last Update or we may get any value update like Galaxy S (Android 4.3 but it themed as KK)..

Doubt we will get the update. Seems like we didnt get KNOX and the overhauled touchwiz widgets for a reason. Samsung decided right there to kill the SIII. Stupid move though, its the phone that put them on the map and probably has a larger user base than the s4.

Well... i'm a HTC fanboy, usually i like their devices. But Samsung is so vast and outputs so many "Galaxy Sn" devices with n being the latest iteration, but with so many variants that it hurts (mini, mega, wonder, fagot?) that, and considering i cannot afford a new device ATM, i had to buy one of them. Luckly, i got a i9305 for a good price.

It's not what you, me, or the rest of XDA does. We are the 0.001%. It's the rest of the world with their sheep mentality in buying the "latest and greatest". Just look at the iPhone and you'll understand.

[Galaxy S III General] astankov:
Till now I was only reading this thread. Now I decide write something. I don't know why you people are so upset by the fact that there probably won't have kitkat update. Let's face it - for me that I see from Note 2 update this is no real update. No 3.4 kernel , heavy bloated like 4.3 and lack of almost anything new. Ram consumption is the same because of the bloatware and this kills the idea of kitkat. For me this is useless update and probably the last update for S3/Note2 so there is no point of being angry. If you like stock roms use them but if you want to feel the real power of kitkat you should install some AOSP rom. Yes there are some problems with them but otherwise they work great. Yesterday I tried last CM nightly and it worked great and they work on it constantly so it wil become perfect.

Just my two cents.

Best regards!
[Galaxy S III General] showstopper1:
sammy is playing with us if they cant get system apps running on our device how the heck did they make it run on note 2 which sas the same overclocked chipset as s3 and an extra gig of RAM?

The reason for their act is that they are trying to tempt us getting a s4,note 2,note 3 or any of their newest devices with kitkat which automatically gains them profit also if people hear about this about s3 they will automatically go for those devices thats the reason and also in my region the international version of s3's price is decreased to an extent i think they are trying to stop their official update support for s3.

Also in the update list by sammy there is kitkat support for the s3 2gb version that is LTE which has the same specs as the international s3 but an extra gig of ram so is there a possibility that the firmware can be ported?? can any one clarify me??

Good day.

As it seems, looks like I9300 will not get kitkat, (it would be nice if samsung overcome the problem with the touchwiz).

In the case that the update doesn't come out, and the XXUHND build is leaked, think is possible that could still be used as a custom rom?

Just a newbie talking, but it would be a better rom with the proper wifi, cpu, gpu, drivers. (like a google play edition, lol)
