After the Galaxy S4 receiving Android 4.3 update in Europe and Asia, many U.S. customers who bought their devices from different carriers started to wonder when will they receive the new update, as most of the time carriers take a lot of time before rolling out a new update. Thanks to geek.com, we now have exact dates on which U.S. network providers will start rolling out Android 4.3 for the Galaxy S III, Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 Active. The Android 4.3 update will also add Galaxy Gear support to the device, as well.
According to the leaked Best Buy document, most of the above mentioned devices should be updated to Android 4.3 in the month of November. However, Verizon and Sprint will be updating the Galaxy S4 in the last week of October. T-Mobile will roll out Android 4.3 for the Galaxy Note II in first week of December. If you own an AT&T Galaxy S4 Active then you might get disappointed to hear that AT&T will be releasing the new update with Galaxy Gear support on December 24, two months from now.
Below is a list of changes and improvements which will be coming with the new Android 4.3 update:-
- GALAXY GEAR Support
- TRIM Support (Makes the device much faster)
- ANT+ Support
- Samsung KNOX Implementation (KNOX bootloader and dedicated application)
- Samsung Wallet comes pre-loaded
- Improved RAM management
- Improved Display colour reproduction (Display looks much sharper than before)
- Improved TouchWiz Launcher (Much less launcher redraws and less lag)
- New Samsung Keyboard
- New Samsung Browser (Full screen by default, new tab interface and more)
- New Reading Mode (Optimises display for reading, used by only a few specific applications)
- New Camera firmware
- Minor UI tweaks (Contacts app, Flashlight Widget, dialog boxes etc)

I'll believe it when I see it. All of the reviews I've read for the Galaxy Gear are pretty mediocre at best and I wasn't planning on getting one. CM 10.2 nightly's already a stable 4.3 ROM as it is and I haven't seen any additional functionality that interested me since Adobe introduced Flash for Android.

They are taking so long to push this update. So glad I ordered my Nexus 5

Already a bunch of "speculation" posts about 4.3
When it come it come.

It actually says 11/18. And there is already a thread about it below this one. Been known about for a week now.

Why another upgrade thread? Really?

The Galaxy Nexus is now available in Samsung stores in India for Rs 25,990. It comes with 4.1 onboard
This is for the 16GB GSM edition.
Samsung was supposed to launch this phone in India earlier this year but they delayed it several times before canceling it altogether. We assume that they wanted the consumers to buy their Galaxy S III smartphone instead.
Samsung Galaxy S III however is too pricey for a lot of people. Samsung does not have any new model in the 25-30K market. Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note are old models. This fits into this segment of the market perfectly.
If you are indeed looking for an Android smartphone for around Rs. 25000, this is the best device you can buy. It is a dual core phone officially supported by Google and we hear it is being shipped with Jelly Bean edition of Android!
Great!!
So we will get warranty which we bought from eBay

Umm, no. It is NOT officially launched. They are selling it in Samsung Stores unofficially without warranty (well, software-only warranty which means no warranty),

It was put out awhile back in semi official form that we were not getting anything past 4.1.2. I haven't kept up but it appears the i9100 is still on 4.1.2 and even if it got 4.2.2 it was still be HIGHLY doubtful not only 4.2.2 wouldn't be developed for our varient but that Sprint would choose to spend the resources on testing. On some occasions a old variant update is moved to carrier testing and the carrier rejects testing outright.
4.2 on AOSP is the last you currently get to see of WiMax. There are no WiMax phones with android updates in development.
As far as AOSP projects and roms go 4.3 is available sans WiMax and while the CM builds seem a bit rough (Mic volume is very very very low on speakerphone) the 4.4 CyanogenMod 11 build Dastin has is working great. I haven't had GPS working this will since 2.3. Its smooth and fast but 4.4 AOSP is the end of the road for this phone to be honest. Its out of system space so it gets hairy from here on out. Custom rom users will have to either put up with stripping out apps or attempt to re partition the device for more space.
Also Samsung and Samsung support will almost never know when a phone on a US carrier is pushing an update, especially a Sprint phone. US carriers do alot of testing with all of their customization's. Samsung pushes a build to Sprint and days to weeks later it might get green lit. Samsung obviously knows when a phone is still being developed for and has a time frame for international device releases. However tech support almost never has a schedule that is not already posted on every android site in existance.

What I think is that if you want your phone updated, dont rely on the manufacturer or carrier to do it

Sweet! But as usual, initial rls will be buggy

I still hope that it will arrive in December.
January sounds more reasonable. Its the time most OEMs will start delivering 6.0 Well I guess I prefer to wait a bit longer for a smoother experience and fewer bugs I guess.
I'm leaking right now.

What ???
From the leaked photos I didn't like the blur effects. Some people didn't like the white color on the notification drawer but I really liked it. Its much more cleaner now and more materialistic. But some other parts are reminding me of iOS. Surprise eh? I wish Samsung could adopt the material design in every aspect of TW and not creating these hybrids. From the other side the Marshmallow TW solved the memory management problem according to the reports and it is smoother and faster now so I can't wait to get it. Starting next year though our next Android update will take months to arrive just like S5 now.
we have what you call those that are lucky to have you
it is possible to be buggy

is it safe to use Note 7 Hongkong Version SM-N9300?

Today Samsung requested all the Samsung Note 7 Owners to Switch off their phone and stop using it.
I have a Note 7 Hongkong version SM-N9300, Which has a Green Battery and the Faulty Tests shows that my phone is NOT among the Affected ones.
My Question is "IS IT SAFE TO USE MY PHONE NOW?

As far as I know the actual recall is currently in the US only (Not Australia, according to Samsung. I asked them) however I'd guess it's going to be worldwide very soon. And this includes all the replacement ones that were deemed "safe".
So, your Note 7 will /probably/ be recalled soon enough. Nobody can tell if your phone is safe though. Impossible to know.

All would include you but it's your choice.

Samsung Hong Kong just announced earlier for all people with HK Note 7s to stop using and return the phone. To be honest, the potential battery problem ALWAYS included China and HK phones, Samsung's HK and China divisions were just shady as hell and kept selling on September 2 when Samsung headquarters first announced they made a huge mistake. Samsung HK has been getting killed online by people for weeks for seemingly apathy. I'm surprised they acted so soon this time to echo what the rest of the world is doing.
so long story short, no, your HK note is included in the call for return. All note 7s are. the phone is done.
Well my Note 7 is perfectly fine. The battery and everything is perfectly fine. NO HEAT ISSUE. i am trying to contact the person who sold it to me to check what the supplier stand on this.
Anyways thanks everyone.
I just wonder the problem is not the battery but rather the processor.
The one in China are not exynos which produce more heat
The Recall is GLOBAL, as in INTERNATIONAL. NO SAMSUNG NOTE 7 IS SAFE! RETURN IT!
Seems to me this forum is frequented by Samsung-haters and/or trolls.

Don't see the One UI 3 update on my S20+

Hi all,
I recently bought an unlocked S20+ from the Samsung store and am using it on T-mobile. I have been trying to check the "software update" but I can't seem to be getting the new One UI 3 update to show up. Do i need to wait for T-mobile to release/push it since i'm on the t-mobile network or should the unlocked version get the update directly from Samsung ?
Just be patient, it will come in december.

I'd like to know the same thing, an unlocked phone on Verizon who will my update come from?
thanks much for the info. So i suppose its just a matter of waiting. It will be good to see where my update is coming from eventually - Samsung or T-mobile.
I have the S20 Ultra direct from a Sprint (now TMobile) store with firmware TK2 and still see no update to One UI 3.0 even though they have been saying for a whole week now that it's rolling out. Seems more like a smoked bee crawling out of cold honey. I even tried the stupid Smart Switch on the Windows desktop and it says there is no update. But yes there is, people are already getting it, so obviously there is. Surely there must be a file you can download from somewhere to do it manually?
EDIT: Looks like there is a program called "TMobile Network Experience" that would give me a SIm swap that would immediately upgrade me to Android 11. I also ready that people are simply swapping in TMobile sim cards, updating to Android 11 and then swapping back in their Sprint sim cards, and apparently that works great. So now the question becomes, can you safely download that TMobile ROM for the S20 variant in question and flash it yourself to your S20? If a simple tmobile SIM card swap upgrades the phone to the TMobile version, it seems all you would really need is that tmobile ROM download.
EDIT2: Just spoke to a Sprint store manager and they are giving out free TMobile Network Experience SIM cards and confirmed that my S20 Ultra will get the Android 11 update almost immediately after doing so. Those SIM cards are free too. So that is one way of forcing the update for us Sprint customers.
Well my S20+ is on a T-mobile SIM and i'm still waiting for the update. Also it seems like T-mobile has paused the rollout - no specific reason cited so far so looks like it might be a while.
It's funny i moved from a Pixel 3 to S20+ and went backwards in software.
You'll get the update from Samsung, when they release the U1 version, not when T-Mobile releases theirs. T-Mobile rolled back the update due to issues, so when they approve the new release, the U1 will receive it shortly thereafter.
