Its true but in my opinion update and support to any device should be limited by its capacity and capabilities and not by a time duration from its launch. I don't think updating their best seller device will affect the sales of their new devices but they will earn more loyal customers
[Galaxy S III General] tmac31:
wakeup delay and long charge time also. touchwiz lag was always there too. and ram management at its best for s3 atleast can multitask better. people just mad cuz they didnt get 4.4 but im sure samsung was never gonna fix them anyway thanks devs we can fix all easy. but exynos variants of s4/s5 note 3 will suffer after 2year update cycle.

ps:gallery and touchwiz lag also exist on all samsung phones.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Touchwiz lag is the same in the s5

What a pity.

I bet Samsung will announce a lot of new models running KitKat and having 1GB of RAM soon. And i9300 users will see that what Samsung said might be a lie.

How about requesting the source code?
[Galaxy S III General] Curst:
We have a greater chance of getting Microsoft to release the source code to Windows mate.

[Galaxy S III General] georgedao123:
I see Samsung released kernel source, so why don't we give a try? Android is open source, right? How about a "pentition"?

About Microsoft, we have already had the source code of DOS. :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] Curst:
They have to release the kernel source according to the license since it is based on Linux. [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION] explained it in some thread a while ago.

What we really need is some good code theft from within Samsung. :P

[Galaxy S III General] ryansmth76:
Of course they are lying and if they are not then why the hell in the beginning they said that kitkat is designed to run fast and smooth on devices that have ram as little as 512 mb. Now they are telling us that 1gb ram of S3 is not capable to handle kitkat. They have made many wonderful devices but they can't even make a good excuse. May be I m wrong but if they are not lying then they should hire some developers from our XDA and I bet our developers will port any Android version they release to any device.

I mean with forcing that it deliberately doesn't put kitkat on s3 in order to buy s5 because the sales will be increased, yes as u said I'm happy with my s3 and it make,receive calls and sms and do almost everything .... i think that we have awesome developers that can port 4.4 on s3 .... in the end that is just views from the owners of s3.

For me i will not buy anew samsung phone .... it will Xperia Z2 or one plus one until that i enjoy with my S3 between TW and C-RoM-KK.
[Galaxy S III General] georgedao123:
Agree

SamMobile has insiders, they should do that and give us the source code. Developers here are too expert so they could do something about that.

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

It's what Google said, not Samsung nor any other OEMs. Of course, KitKat (and JB) is optimised for devices having 512MB of RAM, however that's "pure" KitKat. It's a different story about whether OEMs wants to optimised their customised KitKat for old products...

Last year, it happened with S III I9100. The reason was so similar to I9300 now. AOSP ROMs are the only choice for us now.
[Galaxy S III General] VirusPT:
This is my last Samsung smartphone, shame on you Samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Stealing source code. You know what kind of legal consequences this would have? I wouldnt risk it.

Its already ridiculous to even ask anyone to do that.

Another blabla post in here. The only devices that might get longer support than 18 month are nexus devices and even there its not a 100%. Manufacturers like LG, Sony and HTC have been worse than samsung regarding updates in the past. So, I wouldnt count on them.
[Galaxy S III General] techno-np:
Guyz bcareful before buying the S5 !! Bcuz after 1 or 2 months Samsung is going to release another S5 with 3GB of RAM. After 1.5 years they are going to say sorry Android 6 will not run on 2GB ram , sorry early adopters who paid a butt load off money for the S5 2GB ram is going to have to buy new device to run Android 6 !!!

May b my next phone will be the OnePlus One . Herd its really good and watching many reviews and I think to myself I can actually buy this phone. .and best of all its backed up by CyanogenMOD , so I am sure to get the latest updates as fast as possible !!! :D

F**K U Samsung !!!
[Galaxy S III General] georgedao123:
It seems like AOSP is the only way out for us.

Don't be shame on Samsung. See how HTC did with One S and One V? Except Google, Samsung is the best manufacturer that provide update for old devices.

The reason why I am disappoint here is 4.3 TW is buggy and unstable. At least, Samsung should make stable builds for old devices before saying good bye.
[Galaxy S III General] Carthus:
I have yesterday read an article in the internet (Sorry I dont remember what for one) and they mean,its not the the amount of ram wherefore samsung canceled the update,its a thing with touchwiz or so..Of course is one gigabyte of ram enough for running kitkat..But Im relative sure that one of our resourceful developers find a way to make a port and then we have the roms on CM- and AOSP base...so the wheel of the world dont stop to turn...
[Galaxy S III General] Bazilli:
Guys, stop crying! This phone is two year old. What did you exept from Samsung? Endless upgrades?
[Galaxy S III General] ryansmth76:
Yes I know it was said by Google and they are the one who releases different android versions but if google had already said that kitkat is optimised to run on devices with low ram then why samsung is saying 1 gb ram of S3 is not sufficient. Its simple that they are not interested and they just don't want to optimize it for our S3. Samsung makes bestselling devices every year do you really think that its too hard for them to optimise kitkat for their best selling galaxy S3.

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:31 PM ----------

Not endless upgrades but at least they should update till our S3 can handle it
[Galaxy S III General] memebr:
I was kinda expecting a ROM update to KK or at least a premium package update to fix this stock 4.3

This 4.3 update was the worst update ever for the SIII, my cellphone was great till the 4.3 came, i'm using a partial debloated 4.3 rom now and it is still laggy in some applications.

Waiting for some port or partial port from the Note 2, and maybe get a new phone till the end of this year, but this time I'm making sure to choose one with a Qualcomm proc (dat source releases, son!)
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:

But the sprint s3 is also a touch wiz phone and almost as old as int. S3 but samsung have updated it to kitkat the only plus point of sprint version is that it has 2 gb ram
[Galaxy S III General] Carthus:
Now I found the article,on golem germany; They write,that samsung has problems to implement their own apps,they are working unstable with the touchwiz.The problem is NOT the Ram.(said samsung) .But thats right,why work then the LTE (US) devices with the update?Im not so confirm with posting links from websites,but search in the net for golem and read self...

I kind of get where everyone's annoyed. Yes, it's a couple of weeks from 2 years since release, but, kk is like 6 months old now. Saying that, I though sammy's were on a 18mnth update cycle.

Only ril and sensors are not working at the moment. You can check the port and install it if you want.
[Galaxy S III General] tmac31:
i like how sammobile defend samsung on everything and say they are independent from samsung...

"Samsung can’t remove features and push out an official update, as that would be troublesome for users as some of them might be using those regularly."

like 1 gb of bloatware is neccesary... so samsung can make a poll next time and ask people that they prefer live wallpaper , youtube or chrome as system app or android os update... and every1 knows note 2 firmware has spen and knox bloatware too which s3 doesnt...
[Galaxy S III General] gieffe22:
justarchi fixed the ril...
[Galaxy S III General] LordBass:
The worst part is that the debloat wasn't because of a RAM issue, but because of a storage issue. Samsung stated it was a RAM issue, so it had nothing to do with the debloat and sammobile was just saying bull**** to defend Samsung. KK for GS3 would likely come without the extra bloat from note 2 anyway, like it already has with KNOX and others.

Download the boeffla Config to make the appropriated changes. I'm using -75 mV undervolting in the cpu and -50 mV in the gpu.

Here Are the Devices That Will Supposedly Get Android 4.4.3 KitKat

Here is a list of the devices that will supposedly be getting the Android 4.4.3 KitKat update. None of these updates have been confirmed but at this point, most of them appear likely. Here’s what we got so far:

Nexus 4

Nexus 10

Nexus 5

Nexus 7

Google Play Edition Devices

Moto X

HTC One M7

HTC One M8

Samsung Galaxy S5

Samsung Galaxy S4

Samsung Galaxy S3

Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Samsung Galaxy Note 2

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo

Samsung Galaxy Grand 2

Samsung Galaxy Mega

Keep in mind, non-Nexus devices typically get Android updates long after Nexus branded smartphones and tablets. So while Android 4.4.3 KitKat might land for the devices listed here, release dates are going to vary and they’ll probably be dramatically different.
