Yes, tomorrow at 9:35pm EST. It will have new features like serving you dinner and dropping you at work. Seriously! No one knows when will the official 4.3 will be released.
All we know is that Samsung said it will be released this month. Also, a leaked i9505 build has been released so we are all expecting a leaked i9500 build soon.

Samsung said in October.
Don't expect them to release update in starting of month. But at the end.
Also, we might not want to update our devices to new update considering new update will come with Knox and possibly some region lock.

BY mistake

Hmm... the article is kinda weird though. It says 4.2.2 on the header but upon reading the whole article it says 4.1.2
And what's more weird is... if you search google, I9305XXBME3 has been released way back in June?
also... http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9305

Great news about official 4.2.2 update!!!

Hey guys, i've called Samsung Brasil and they told me that our S3 Mini will get the 4.2.2 update in the upcoming weeks, they are planning to make it before december 20th. Great news for us!!! They complete it with what's new: Some apps will have the s4 look, lockscreen with camera widget... So, let's wait.
This is NOT a joke, i've really talked to Samsung Brasil, try calling yours country's Samsung.

Did they finally updated drivers
WHile the other deviced got directly 4.3 we will have 4.2.2? At least something.
4.2.2 ...? i dont want to be negative but... 4.2.2 is already old, now we have 4.4 wating for OEMs to update his own skins... :silly:
At least samsung should update our device to 4.3 since they skipped the 4.2.2 as the normal S3, plus, our device have never received an android update beyond android 4.1.x.
Every update is cool, I know, but come on, other samsung devices are getting 4.3, why ours not?
Because they want us to buy new phones :thumbdown:

official yes - bugfree NO
NO ROM IS BUGFREE
Yes but it's bearable. In cm there are variate bugs as random reboots etc. Also stock ROM has Samsung apps and Touchwiz which I personally like it. I will probably go back to stock update if it comes and when cm 4.4 kitkat is released by maclaw I will return to it...
I really doubt they are going to release a update to our phone... But obviously I would love that to happen

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S4 software update

I just got my Samsung Galaxy S4. It is running on a 4.4.2 OS. But when I press software update, it keep on downloading new updates which ranges from 13.8 MB to 450 MB. Now it wants to download an update which is a 680 MB files. Should I download it actually? Anyone has any idea when will Kit Kat update be available.
It may help if you actually stated what Rom you are running?

I am using the stock ROM.
........Android 4.4.2 is KitKat. Its the latest version currently available. Are you sure you're reading the version number correctly?
If you are. When and where did you buy your GS4?
I personally install all system update. Just keep checking for updates until there are no more.

Sorry. It is 4.2. I read the number wrongly. I upgraded it to 4.3 yesterday. When I check for the latest update, it said it is the latest system. This means 4.4.2 Kit Kat has not been release yt?

Ahh that makes more sense.
4.4.2 is available, but it's through a "test release ROM". (Which I'm currently using).
Its good enough for daily use, it just has a couple bugs.
4.4.2 Official from Samsung is meant to be arriving in the UK and US very soon. Hopefully within a couple weeks.

Thats true brother, and it will be so great if we get a kitkat stable update, than this complete flop 4.2.2. But Nowhere in official documents from samsung, they quoted I9082.
Lol, still JB 4.2.2? in 2014? This Android version is already a year old.

You all do realize that Samsung NEVER releases any changelogs for any of it's devices. The closest thing to a changelog is the OTA pop up that comes up saying there's a new update available, that's all.
And like all other firmware updates this one probably only has bug fixes, Samsung and Google app updates and maybe few driver updates. No offense, but what else do you keep expecting out of the same 4.2.2?

It's not that they're not interested, Grand is already selling millions and it's one of the best selling devices is Asia. I'm sure they're interested in making money. They simply stop upgrading our devices because they want us to upgrade to Grand 2... The first Grand is a product of market experiment, just like the first Note. Its sequels are continuously refined. The first Grand, just like the first Note, was made to build a userbase. Once they fullfilled that objective, it's dumped and release a sequel.
As always some bug fixes and updated apps. No other differences found till now. Phones a bit laggy now.

Try to remove bloatwares after rooting..
If you dont want to root, try disabling apps in Application Manager which you dont use,(say Svoice,Ssuggest etc.)
It may help to a limit!

You can root and remove many Samsung unwanted apps and also Google unwanted apps. Then again if you want to return to stock if Samsung gives another update then revert back.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 Official LOLLIPOP Update!

Hi all,
I just need to know when Samsung will update Galaxy Note 3 (N9005) to Lollipop?!
ANY NEWS ?!
If there would be any news, don't you think you would've already heard about it?
Samsung refuses to give even a clue about a Rom release. If you ask they give the old response that the firmware is in testing and may be released at any time...
Well as Exynos devices (however only for Russia) have got the official update I don't think ours will be much further from release. Now whether I will upgrade to it or not is an entirely different question. I think the update should be available within one month from now.

Yes, officially. Here's the link, http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/42405/N900XXUEBOA6_N900SEREBOA6_SER.zip/
Do check for what version it is though, I mean 16 or 32GB, I don't know that. Again, that is for EXYNOS models only.
