[Q] Android 4.4 will we ever get it? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

We got 4.3 now, but will we ever get 4.4? We are already done with our 18 month update window..
What do you guys think?

In 6 months.

From Samsung and the carriers...I doubt it. If they get galaxy gear sales up for the holidays then the goal has been met. As far as I am concerned I will get the update (AOSP)...all thanks to the excellent devs here.

I doubt it. Our carriers are too lazy. In never buying a carrier specific phone again.

Agreed. That's why I've got a Nexus 5 on order. Although it's currently stuck in Dallas due to the weather. Original delivery date was tomorrow.

Most likely not thanks to the stupid carriers out there! In the meantime imma enjoy the work of these fine devs that deserve a couple of beers for their hard work.

I'm a tad more optimistic than my fellow S3 owners. Yes, it may be a long time before we see a 4.4 rollout but I don't think Samsung nor AT&T are stupid enough to not give their best selling smartphone at least one more update. More than likely we'll see the next iteration of Android out on Nexus and GE devices but that's how it was when 4.3 was released and we were all stuck on 4.1.1. My guess is anywhere from 6-12 months until we see a Touchwiz 4.4.

We'll get 4.4 about 6 months after Google released 4.5...

Not really too sure but it should be soon. Maybe within the first month of next year? the note just got it and we should soon follow. Its not easy either because there are a lot of updating that needs to be done and they test everything so it takes time. It will be some time before we get 4.2 and by that time, google will probably have released another OS in google IO. Ill be real, JB is great on these devices, i actually want google to slow down the updates so that manufacturers can somewhat catch up to the latest one in updateing capable devices and then move on forward. Also you have to look at the fact that they well you your S3, they make money. zthe already worked ICS onto it and were paid for ICS and the S3. when they have to develop and work on JB, Thats on their own money and time. But yeah, im getting off margin here. I belive that the s3 can probably see one more update after 4.2. after that, well it will be pointless as the GS5 may be in the horizon which aint bad. After my s3, ill probably go for the GS5 if im not too compelled by the note 3 lol

It really comes down to the manufacturers to release the update OTA, samsung has been putting all the updates out pretty quick.

That is NOT the Stock OTA update. That is CM10
If that were the OTA Update, we'd say share the File with others , so we can MOD it to death!
Once the OTA update hits The east coast of USA or where ever it hits first, someone will upload the stock file! I herd it was suppost to hit Poland Dec 21, 2012
I just bought mine yesterday and the update was available when I get home with it.
Dont you have to be rooted for that?

U mean u have 4.1.1 Right ? If u have 4.1.2 then share it... show screen shot ... I don't think it's out yet (Dec 22, 2012)
we would be flooded with Posts that it hit last night at 3:00 am in NY or east coast etc. and many would post!
I heard that 4.1.2 should be out for update sometime in Feb 2013.

Cant wait that long!! :crying: Think its worth it to root and instal the leaked 4.1.2 or should I just wait? I feel like battery life sucks on stock 4.1.1 that im running. I might reset to factory settings(where I had best battery life) and just wait for word on 4.1.2

I get the same battery life I did before.
Use BetterBatteryStats to determine what's the cause of bad battery life. I had problems when I first updated - found out it was Google Now trying to use GPS all the time for the most part. They really ought to tell people about that and make it more clear since many don't seem to realise what's going on.
I know that the eBay app is also a battery hog, but I can't part with it.
I'm happy to have JB...I was on ICS previous with the HTC One S (long story but good ending). My question with 4.1.2.....will it come with Photo Sphere camera app? I'm completely stock unrooted...not ever going to root...so don't even tell me to root please.

4.1.2 does not have photosphere dude, that's a feature of 4.2 AOSP. Most likely will be integrated into the sammy 4.2 update but who knows.

Haha this is comical good one... well from what I know 4.2 obviously international markets would get it first(maybe they already have it?) Maybe someone can chime in on this. Since these updates take so long I bet most carriers are just skipping 4.1.2 and go straight to 4.2 next year. Consider most US carriers just got 4.1 lol
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
The only devices that have 4.2 is Nexus devices at the moment. They always get stuff as soon as it is announced because they are pure google devices. 4.1.2 is incremental and the international Note 2 already has it. 4.2 is still some time away bro. I mean you can flash a CM10.1 ROM and that literally is 4.2, but it is missing all the Samsung packages. Samsung's actual 4.2 official release is still far off. Expect to see it leaked before the OTA hits.
My bad....I posted that very early in the morning....I confused 4.1.2 with 4.2. Still hope we get photo sphere at some point though. Never understand why carriers get rid of some features.

I've had 4.1.1 now for a few weeks and I do not see the buttery-ness of jelly bean at all that everyone is talking about. I actually notice some severe lag whenever I use the keyboard. Anything from typing in text messages and searching in the browser makes the keys sticky as can be

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.
Not trying to **** in anyone's Cheerio's but like most things involving US carriers, I'll believe it when I see it...

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 agree with your last sentence - it's almost criminal the way US carriers act towards this.
It wuold be awesome if AT&T release the update promptly, but, I think it's gonna have to wait.

^^^This is the joke of the day.
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.

So when should we see the updates rolling?

I know it's a stage update as usual but, does anyone know when Google will start sending the update to people? Are there people that might have received it?

The rollout will probably happen when Google officially announces Android KitKat. I believe this will happen within the next week. In the meantime, I suggest we all wait patiently as there isn't enough difference between 4.3 and 4.4 as to warrant throwing a riot.

I am guessing Nexus start getting it next week, Already restored mine back to completely stock(except it is still unlocked) to wait for the 4.4 OTA.
Well, as long as they push out the update soon so we can then start whining about when 5.0 will come.

I don't seem to recall saying this was a minor update. I said that the difference wasn't drastic enough to warrant throwing a riot over. There are some minor UI adjustments, some under-the-hood adjustments, and a hidden feature that enables a new JIT compiler that will probably replace Dalvik at some point. The new JIT does break the emulator though and that is why it is hidden in developer options. This is by no means a small release but it's not like we're stuck on Gingerbread still. From some of the people around here, you would think that JB is worthless and unusable now that 4.4 source is out.
Also, before you call someone out for posting incorrect info, make sure that their post actually contains incorrect info.
4.4 till 15 Nov confirmed

Most likely, they'll start pushing it on Monday to some English-language devices. If those don't blow up, everyone else will get it once they finish translating 4.4 to all other languages, probably within a week or two. Be patient :fingers-crossed:

I'm using the current 4.4 build. The ROM itself is running extremely smooth. However, if you choose to flash I STRONGLY suggest that before initial boot, you make sure to hit "Yes" next to the message that says to disable auto-recovery flash or whatever it is. This prevents the ROM from overriding your custom recovery with the stock one. I accidentally hit one of the 10 "No" options and now I cannot boot into recovery and ADB/Fastboot pushing a custom recovery doesn't work.
I'm sure I could just revert back to the 4.3 factory image and start again but I don't think it's worth the hassle since the ROM is working perfectly. So for now I am using the 4.4 ROM as is and just waiting for the factory image to come out so I can Fastboot flash that and start on a clean slate.
But again, the ROM is definitely smooth and worth flashing. I'm loving it.

I love my note 2 but I think from now on ile just stick to nexus device. I bought this phone based on the screen size really. All I want is a stable kit Kat cm or cm based ROM which seems unlikely at this point.
I keep thinking is it too late to buy a nexus 5 or just wait for the n6.

I ran beanstalk 4.4 for about month also. I really like the ROM I don't really understand a lot of the settings but for the most part it ran smooth. I was hoping for a volume bug update but there hasn't been one. And battery life fluctuated.

It is a better longer term option for everyone...Especially given how Samsung has chosen to ignore their formerly flagship phone wrt updates. Further the much waited 4.4 update is probably the last if I had a=to bet.

I'm thinking about getting a galaxy gear watch to play around with till I get a new phone

Galaxy Gear only works, so far as I know, with unrooted stock (yuck) touchwiz ROMs on select devices of Samsung's arbitrary choice. You're better served both now and later with not spending the $200+USD on Samsung locked hardware.
I have seen users with smoothest claim gear works. Smoothest is a n3 stockish rooted ROM.

It is a better longer term option for everyone...Especially given how Samsung has chosen to ignore their formerly flagship phone wrt updates. Further the much waited 4.4 update is probably the last if I had a=to bet.

I don't mind running stock touchwiz. I actually recently unrooted and returned to stock 4.3 when I was planning on trying to sell my baby and I don't mind it one bit. I have never been a fan of aosp so staying stock isn't the end of the world for me

I didn't mind TW but I really got tired of waiting for Sammy to release a 4.4 update for us, and then having to wait on Sprint again... It's nice to be able to use KitKat on the Note 2

Galaxy S6/Edge Update

Small update coming for us for ram issues. Here's the link: http://www.cultofandroid.com/73361/samsung-fixes-galaxy-s6-ram-issues-in-latest-software-update/
Has anyone actually got this?
The international version got it. Not tmobile.. Kinda wishing I was patient waited a month for the international version to hit ebay lol
I wonder if there will be something for us too.
We need this so bad....... I wouldn't mind getting this while we wait for 5.1.1 in the mean-time wonder how long it will take tmobile to push this
Looks like Sprint is starting to get it today too. Come on TMO!
Sprint had it a couple days ago already
ATT is getting it today. I have a feeling tmobile is just going straight to 5.1
That awkward moment where T-Mobile is settling for 4th place in terms of updates.

Well, the leak has nothing to do with OTA timing. 5.0.2's revised update should've been out by now. No excuses.
