I think that could be right seeing as this is a tiny update in general.
Here we go again...
Please, don't create expectations or start rumours about possible ETA's.
You've seen it with the 4.1.1 update, carriers can hold up the process undefinitely if they feel like it no matter the "size" of the said update.
I read about this last night too. There's no way of knowing when or if we will ever see this officially. Just as European S3's got the multi-window already it's up to the carriers. I'm sure they'll find some way to get it in a custom rom on here when its out.
We'll probably have the Galaxy S4 before this update even arrives..

What does this have to do with this thread???
Sounds interesting but I wouldn't get my hopes up for a release any time soon.
I'll go w/ my original guess of January 17th.
I'll go with my guess of A LONG TIME FROM NOW. Carriers are usually like hey, we just sent out an update a month ago, why send another one now? Let's wait for pigs to fly.

So far, it would just be the international i9300 version in Poland or the UK.
Nothing for the i747 yet. You will still have to wait a few weeks for the leak.
I've been toying with the idea of changing the CSC on my phone to trick Samsung Kies to download it to my phone.

Lol good luck with that. Might as well get the international version gs3 once you brick your phone.

I'll be leaving it stock as is and patiently wait until the update is released.
I just want to know "when" it will be released so that I don't have to keep checking daily.
they just look like apps can't it extracted from international version and installed through recovery?

I believe it WILL work as you've said. The APK files themselves would be the universal part.

it's much more complicated than just the APKs. you need the modified jar files as well, which will boot loop a Us Gs3. search for the GS2 tutorial on how to run multiwindow to see how complicated it really is. in theory, it is possible to modify the jellybean us GS3 files to get it all running on our phones. but, it will take some talent.
Just saw this.
Hopefully it won't be long for us....

The Galaxy S7 will be out by the time 4.2.1 gets to us.
The problem with the 4.1.2 update has multiwindow. We have a different processor in US phones which is making it difficult to get multiwindow to work properly. Im not saying its impossible but I feel like that is the hold up with US carriers. And it may even be they end up releasing 4.1.2 without multiwindow because of it.....

Meh. I'm really thinking about possibly trying to eBay my carrier unlocked GS3 when the GS4 comes around. I know it's apparently being shown on the 14th... but who knows when it'll actually be available after that.

Im speaking from what ive learned from trying to port over the note 2 rom. It has a exynos processor and our US version does not. Im not sure what the note 1 has as far as it having the same processor as our s3. But I would love to try and port it once released and see if it would work.

it has an msn8660 snapdragon with adreno 220. ( the US and Canadian variant anyway)
ps I'm running galaxymod 14.1 without issue so just because you haven't been able to get multiwindow working in no way means it is not possible.

Synergy ROM in the development section has Multiwindow. I tried it yesterday and it worked great...although a few other issues made me switch back. I don't think the processor is the issue.
Definitely not the power of our phones the grand had all around less specs and it's coming with multi window.

Synergy is a Verizon or Sprint base one I cant remember which. And im not saying its impossible for us to have multiwindow what im saying is it will need to be totally reworked to run on our phone as we have a dual core processor and the note 2 has quad core.
And I believe the different processor or maybe the kernel has a lot to do with why you haven't seen a ATT based note 2 port. Ive been working on one for quite sometime now and can only get it to partially work. So its not impossible but its not as easy as you may think and thats why I think its taking US carriers longer....

Yeah the others are probably right. Tmobile probably has decided that the 4.1.2 update isnt improtant enough to push through and since 4.2 with touchwiz will come out officially with the s4 they will just push that one instead of pushing both within a month or 2 apart. If you're asking in wonder of getting an official multi Window, then I'm guessing 4.2 will have it.

yeah it should somewhere around 2 months but I honestly think there will be a port from the s4 to the s3 so we'll get unofficially first from these developers. We already have some the the apps, sounds and such not.

No yeah oh course the official is always better anyday I'm just saying that even before the official one is released for us there will be an unofficial release here to play around with it for those who can't seem to wait on tmobile. I know that I will be testing it out unless tmobile somehow gets it out within a few weeks after release.

If we end up with a Snapdragon 600 chip, it will make porting from S4 to S3 a hell of a lot easier... Swap out Qualcomm drivers for the S3 in place of the S4 ones and build the kernel source from the S4... Most of the main hardware is going to be similar. Camera and other external modules might be more difficult but as long as we get full S4 source from Samsung, we will be able to plug a good bit of S3 code and precompiled code in there.
I imagine we will see some interesting blends happen with HTC One and S4 source code.
Basically, even if we don't get an official 4.2 or 5 release, it shouldn't be terribly difficult to port due to similar hardware. Qualcomm makes it really easy with their proprietary binary code to build a kernel for another Snapdragon device than the source kernel/device. I wouldn't worry about it.

I'd be very surprised if ATT released 4.3 before the i9300 got it... Usually there is about a 6 month or more difference between the i9300 and the US s3's in terms of updates.

If at all. I have a feeling ATT is done providing updates for this phone. And if they do throw one more at us, it wont be 4.3 cuz they just don't keep them updated that close to what the actual current version is. Prolly 4.2 will be the last if any at all. I hope I'm wrong, but their track record does speak for itself.

Both of these reference the i9300 (i9305), not our phone...
The first article is supposedly an insider tip from a Deutsche Telekom employee: "The Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 have been rumored to skip the Android 4.2.2 and get Google’s latest Android update instead, although Samsung is yet to confirm it. An Australian carrier (Telstra), answering to questions about the Galaxy Note 2 updates, has also hinted that the device will go straight to Android 4.3"
The second article also mentions the same DT employee and is talking about the i9300 for DT networks.
Your 1st comment said Samsung confirmed it and they have not.

This, we know. What I'm trying to explain to everyone in another thread is that support for the US variants died after the release of 4.1.2
We should consider ourselves lucky if we get 4.3 (officially) at any point.
Samsung doesn't need to confirm anything that the US carriers choose to do with the 4.2/4.3 source code (if they ever do get it). I'm still convinced that carriers are only interested in selling new flagship devices.

I'm now getting bored of the Premium Suite as I thought that I would have wanted all those fancy features when they first release.
Now, I'm trying to find a stock AOSP 4.3 ROM to flash. My only reason for staying with this is the fact that I need to use Samsung KIES as I'm a MAC user and have no other way of using MTP to transfer files to my device.

Sorry bro but I wouldn't hold my breath for any tmobile update. They always have some lame excuse like we're testing for months and months...good news is you can have 4.3 and apps to sd NOW if you root and install a custom rom. Look in the roms change log and it will tell you if its 4.3 and all other features it has. i have apps to sd now with my current rom. So if you don't want to wait for God knows how long you can get these things you want now by rooting. Also you can change back to stock and unroot if you like so its not a permanent thing. There are some wonderful how to root threads in tmobile android development section. Look in the forum for tmobile Samsung galaxy and find the development section where the roms are kept and you should find a how to guide.read read read and when your comfortable with the procedure proceed to root your device. You won't regret it for a second. Best wishes. Otherwise you can wait on tmobile which is likely just going to frusterate you. Ive been with tmobile ten years and my only complaint is their update process.its always one excuse after another why we're not getting our update. So you do have options. You can root and run these things now or wait on tmobile. Its up to you. Best wishes. If your already rooted and just wondering when it will come out my guess is after a newer device is announced. Tmobile is awful when it comes to updates!
Surprisingly the moto x on Tmobile was the first to get the camera fix update. But I guess it's more a patch than an update.

What ticks me off is that this slow update crap is one of the reasons I left Verizon, only to find out it's an issue with t mobile.
Right now I am seriously considering the Nexus 5. For now, thank God I am rooted.
Yes I understand. I went through this with my htc and it makes me furious. It is ALWAYS the same excuse. We're testing and it might take awhile. Its total bs. I honestly think its a marketing strategy of sorts to hold the update as long as possible until the latest and greatest comes out. Then we no longer even care about the update and want to move on..I just don't know why they are this way. I've been with tmobile ten years and I've seen this over and over. Always the same excuse.its really my only complaint about the company. They just won't give us our updates ever so small or large. Until we don't care anymore because we're moving on to something else anyway. Its ridicoulas. So many complain but it seems they turn a deaf ear to our pleas.i was hoping this device would be different and they would send out the update in a timely manner. But its looking like that's not the case. Very frustrating. ..
If you really want bleeding edge updates, check out what happened to the 2013 Nexus 7 and its updates: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2380866
It's bad enough when a tablet reboots randomly; I can't imagine a primary communication device like a smartphone doing the same... you know, like in the middle of a phone call.
I agree with realsis, don't count on T-Mobile. Right now you have 4.3 roms but they might not be perfect, I'm sure when Samsung releases the update with Touchwiz and everything, someone will figure out how to port the features to our S4. This seems like it's been repeated a million times, but latest updates can only come from 2 sources: XDA or directly from Google for Nexus devices.

By that time. .in the meantime I'm going to enjoy what we have available here on xda... tmobile ALWAYS uses the same excuse every update. "Oh were testing it" or " there was a issue with it" having been with tmobile ten years ive heard this over and over. Different device SAME story. This might sound odd but I think they hold their updates as a sort of marketing strategy. They will wait till something even greater is released by the time the updates comes out its so old it does not matter and we jump ship to the latest and greatest... think about it..if they gave our updates as they should be given we might actually be happy with our device therefore less likely to buy the latest and greatest new device... I dont know I can't help but think that they hold these updstes for their OWN reasons.. hopefully I'm wrong but ive seen this before....
Correct me if I'm wrong, the "WATCH " is only compatible with the Note 3 when it's released. I could seriously see T-Mobile waiting to see how many S4 owners are desperate enough to go out purchase the N3 just to get the watch before releasing the update.

No the watch will be compatible with the s3 s4 and note 2 IF they are updated by T-Mobile/Samsung to 4.3.

They wouldn't do that as marketing strategy because the only people that care about updates are people that know a lot about the phone so if they continued to never update any phones customers would eventually go to other carriers that care about updates versus buying a new phone again that will never get updated

I still think Samsung is in a nice position (in regards to market-share) to push the telcos to release the update. Seems kind of silly anyway since Samsung are the ones creating the update. One leak to SamMobile would put the pressure back on T-Mobile. Samsung has a lot more to gain from watch sales with multiple compatible devices in the wild than they would hoping that people would upgrade to a N3 AND get the watch.
I'll probably still be running CM, but it'll be nice to have an official 4.3 release
I saw a thread somewhere on xda an hour ago about a leaked Sammy 4.3 for the i9500/i9505 trying to find it again to share the link.

I saw this and was wondering is there anything special one needs to do before flashing. Like should I wait for a CWM rom or can I just use the download as is?
