Has anyone attempted this or is this even possible? I was just looking around the forums to see if it was possible or if any dumps were around.
I would be interested in this as well.

Why? Sprint and Samsung worked together flawlessly to get 4.1 to us so fast. The unbranded Galaxy s III is still getting the update in some parts of Europe, we are not behind at all. And of course there is the fact that we are the first US carrier to get the update. I'm impressed, and excited to see how Samsung and Sprint can continue with speedy updates to their flagship devices.

Although this update was fast the next one might not be as fast. We will see either way bring on the updates!
hey guys i've recently purchased the gnote2 (really angry about the multiwindow not yet availble...)
carrier-bell
model number- sgh-i317m
is it safe to root my gnote2?
I'm quite new to android.. since i've been with fore quite a while now, so this whole rooting thing is brand new to me,
i sort of heard that i can somehow enable multiwindow on my phone, so thats the big reason im going for it.
Can you tell me if i should or should not?
thanks!
this is a forum for the sprint version, not the bell version, go to the international version forums

i believe that is the same as the AT&T version. i would check that forum and the international forums as well. i feel you on the multiwindow. i'm on a US Cellular note 2 which doesn't actually have that update with it yet. so i had to modify sprints update to work with the us cellular note
Is there any chance we ever get multiwindows future on our t-mo s3? Why USA never gets such a good devices as Europe? If u See there is a great difference between I9300 quad core and snapdragon s4. They have this function Already long time.

I think it may come. Already got pop-up play and pop-up browser. Might just take a lil time.
It'll probably come with the 4.1.2 update we are supposed to get.

I know it comes with 4.1.2 but i dont think we will get it in near future. is there any way that comunity could force samsung or t-mo to make it faster?

I seriously doubt it!
Rumor is that itll be released sometime Jan-feb. But its just rumor. Though I have to admit thst Sammy does seem like their trying lately. Holdups come from T-Mobile btw.
Best advice is be patient. Someone will port it.

Cause Samsung didn't make one. Actually, 4.1.2 is more than likely all we'll officially get. I think they're done upgrading S2's....aside from perhaps the international version I read somewhere.

Mainly because Samsung lost the suit against apple, so they've gone back to the drawing board in many ways. To continue investing in devices that led to them being sued would just not be financially intelligent.
I really hate tw. I'd agree with others. I don't think Samsung it's going to be updating our phones anymore.
There will be no more updates for the Galaxy S2, I saw this confirmed not long ago, but I forget where.

You guys will have to excuse my stupidity, I just don't fully understand how the galaxy s3 has a factory touchwz 4.2.2 rom and the galaxy s2 doesn't. the specs aren't even drastically different. one has 2gb of ram and a higher resolution screen. both are 1.5ghz ...

If Samsung were to continue to update thier older phones no one would buy the new ones. It's all about money.

But with that logic, the s3 is OLDER than the s4, and yet it was updated AFTER the s4 was released....
the galaxy s2-plus (almost as old as the galaxy s2 itself) also has a 4.2.2 update as well. So, tell me more about this $$$ theory of yours :cyclops:

Guys....its simple. Had Samsung not made 100 different S2 variations for some dumb reason, they would have updated us I'm sure. But as there's so many different models out there and the device is 2 generations behind.....they drew the update line in the sand. That's it.
Except the newer one I guess, and I heard the international one....yet to be seen.
That's electronic life. Very short support life span. At least with phones. Maybe if the phone builders didn't put out a new model every 8 months things would be different. But they just love milking the techy's that gotta always have the latest and greatest.
Plus....I agree with the $$$$$ reason too.

the s2-plus came out after the s3(jan 2013), which was a really surprising move for samsung(but in my opinion it was just another way for them to rake in the cash). and pretty much all of the android phones will have ended up with at least 2 system updates from thier respective manufacturers. our phone actually got 3 system updates, it came with 2.3.6 went to 4.0.3 and then to 4.0.4 and now to 4.1.2, if our phone kept getting updates there would be no need to buy a new phone, so once again it all comes back down to they want to make more money. and in this world that is all that any successful company is going to do, try and get you to buy there next new product(even if it means that they have to stop updating a perfectly good device to do it). If they didn't, they wouldn't succeed as a business.
In short our phone is not going to get an official 4.2.2 update because samsung wants you to buy a new phone so that they continue to make more $$$.

buy a new phone.. ok, buy an S3 (which is NOT NEW) BOOM 4.2.2 update. and that works out good for who? Especially if you buy one 2nd hand, does samsung make 2nd hand money? nope. I get the whole it's all about money thing, but apparently nobody gets what I'm trying to say. IF those old, non new phones have it....why not this one. It's old, not new, similar specs. Oh well, If I knew how I'd make my own TW 4.2.2 build lol
I don't think the s3 is on 4.2.2 is it?

I dunno what carrier, but I know I saw one with a 4.2.2 build, that was touchwiz. Very similar to the S4.
maybe it was unlocked/international? Google it.
My questions were somewhat answered, so pointless thread now.

Anything you saw was most likely a leak at best. No S3 model has an official update from Samsung, even the International, I checked.
Cool news today from Samsung! :victory:

Of course, this is subject to carrier's approval...
Good news. The best part of this news is that is was confirmed by Samsung US so us here in North America will be getting this update.
YAY!
Thanks for the update.

I like all of you was happy to hear the news. However, with kitkat comes a new way (sounds not good for people who like to move items to removable sd cards) for us to manage our files. Im still a little confused on exactly what this means, but I guess time will tell.

Should we start a pool on when it'll actually come out? I'm betting something like 8 months from now.
The only problem with that article was this statement....
"The full list is below, and of course they are subject to carrier approval."
You know AT&T will be the last and Verizon will be first, hopefully AT&T will decide to release the update to the S3.
For god sake, please remove the 4.3 Knox bootloader in the KitKat update.
No more official updates for S3, Android 4.3 was the last update.

That's from Samsung Poland regarding the international i9300 version.
Pretty sure the international i9300 will get the 4.4.2 update elsewhere in Europe.
And unless Samsung USA backtracks on its commitment to bring Android 4.4.2 to the North American SGS3, I'm confident we'll see it.

The problem that I have is that the official announcement says "select carriers" leaving me to believe that there is a possibility it could never happen with AT&T. Of course since AT&T is so large I think it will go through to avoid a massive swarm of complaints. It really comes down to how quickly they will push the release.

Good, now they can release the stock 4.3 so those of us that took the OTA update have a way back to stock.

Pretty sure Sprint releases the first update, followed by T-Mobile...then AT&T and finally Verizon. It's been that way for all devices. Ex.: the 4.3 update.
WOW, ANOTHER TOY TO PLAY WITH. OH MY GOD. WHEN DO WE GET IT? WHEN DO WE GET IT? HURRY UP AT&T. I CANNOT WAIT. OH MY GOD! WHEN DO WE GET IT? WHEN DO WE GET IT?
Look, if we ever get this update, can at least some of you hold off for a little bit and see what the update does to some of the other phones first (does it lock the bootloader, does it make battery life worse, what apps might have issues, is there a way to go back in case something goes wrong) and not make the same mistake that so many of us make with these phones by rushing to these toys, oops, updates impatiently the very first day that they come out. I call these updates toys because with the exception of the phones that have major issues, all these updates are around here is just something new to play with.
BUT WHAT IF I WANT TO, SHORTYDOGGG?
Forget it. I see that I won't get through to everybody because we are all different. Carry on everyone.
