4.3 bound to happen soon regardless of carriers? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

So from my understanding, the new galaxy watch relies on android 4.3 to work. Since this is the case, doesn't that mean that carriers NEED to push android 4.3 to our phones for the galaxy watch to work with it? And if that is the case as well, shouldn't we be seeing hints of an update really soon?

Not really. I can eee carriers hoping to release it for smart watch but smart watch will be targeted to note 3 first
I sure hope it comes soon though. If only more companies were like apple in the software control.

It's rumored AT&T is pushing 4.3 out for the S4 as soon as Samsung publishes it.

[Sarcasm]No, because it makes sense for Samsung to not update their latest flagship phone...[/Sarcasm]
They indeed have to update it at least once., Every OEM has a contract with Google to provide updates for at minimum 18 months.

I confess I used this exact argument for the S2 not getting an official ICS update yet it got it anyway.
Both the I9505 and I9500 will definitely get 4.3.

yea well , eventually both will but as dr.m0x said the question is when..not like i cant live with it, but i always preferred pure android .I'd have bought the GE one if i waited a month after the release of the S 4 touchwiz.
it will get it but expect to wait a looooong time

Indeed ... also 4.3 does have some interesting features but nothing major from my perspective ... also i think they won't separate the editions for those major updates and they'll roll out them for all s4 together ... but that's only an assumption ... and i would be shocked if any s4 doesn't get 5.0 KLP update at all ...

Are your kidding buddy. Means now Galaxy S3 has rumored about 4.3 JB & you are talking about No to update of S4 to KLP.?
i saw somwhere that s2 got jelly bean update ... and s4 would not get an update that really matters? yes that would be shocking news indeed ... either from the community or from samsung eventually s4 will get that update ...
and also i noticed someone in this thread said something about a 18month commitment to google that OEMs should provide updates? never heard of that before ... is it legit?
Now with aosp support you can install yourself too.

Ok, so you want to support this fuc..king behaviour of Samsung by buying another phone from them....great idea....
The Note 1 got the 4.1 update around August or June if I'm not mistaken, while the Note 2 released in September last year.
The Note 3 released in September this year, luckily we've seen leaks or I would assume a similar timeline.
Surprising the S3 already has 4.3 rolling out before we do, they've already seen a major update, while all we got was 4.1.1 -> 4.1.2.
Granted, it sold in vastly larger quantities.
Even lower devices like the Grand, Mega have already seen major updates to 4.2.2 in their relatively short lifespan.
/frustration.

Note 2 will get 4.4 by April 2014

I think Note 2 will not see KitKat, the JB 4.3 update arrived very late and the device will dead on it.
It's frustrating my Kies keeps telling me it's downloaded the latest update as I bootup the laptop, sadly it's the 4.1.2 this is a worst tease than than hearing about Kitkat

So we can expect 4.4 cust rom for note 2
Sent from my GT-N7100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I remember reading on an official Samsung notice that the note2 will be updated to at least 5, which was expected to be released in October, but 4.4 arrived in its place.
4.4 is designed to work on lower spec devices, which should free up some resources to allow for the resource hungry note 3 apps to be ported over. so 4.4 certainly WILL make an appearance on the Note II. and a high probability of at least one more update to 5.0.
then we can start threads crying about the lack of ported apps from the note4 and note5....

Judging by how they bungled 4.3 (the S3 update was pulled and the Note 2 update put on hold in the UK) I wouldn't hold my breath. My contract will be up for renewal in February and I'll be off to another manufacturer.
This was my first and last Samsung.

More than enough. Even phones with 512mb ram can handle 4.4 so there is no excuse. The note 2 can handle 4.4 without any problem but if samsung will update it only time will tell

It will surely get kitkat. Why it wouldn't? 4 months are ahead,so it will be shocking if Samsung won't do anything in these months.
S4 and Note 3 will get their Kit Kat and then it will come to S3 and Note 2 devices,I'm 100% sure.
S3 & Note 2 will get the KitKat bar !! In 1 or 2 months S4 and note 3 will get kitkat (stock roms have already leaked ) ..the in 3 or 4 months S3 will get kit kat ....dont 4get the great and mighty S2 which got a lot of updates and compared to S2 , S3 users are more !!

Hi, there is already a quites stable beta version of SLIM-KAT available for the GT-i9300.
It is based on AOSP 4.4.2 and more information you can find on the XDA-forum "[ROM] [4.4.2] SlimKat i9300 [beta Weeklies]" and their website "slimroms.net".
S3 is the father of mobile . its better than i9500 - and yes with cm you will always be updated and better than stock one.
I am on 4.4.2 and ART its fabulous fast with 1.6 Ghz

Nope. Anytime between now and christmas. More times than not, we don't know what's happening until it's actually happening. Occasionally we will know if a leak happens to get out, but that is happening less and less frequently.

Cm11 kit kat was a huge improvement on my original droid razr. Ram management was awesome compared to stock. I hope samsung gets it right and it's not bogged down like 4.3. I've seen my note using 2.2 out of the 2.4 gb or ram available for no reason other than samsung apps running in the background. I know I shouldn't be too picky about it but thats also why I bought a phone with 3gb of ram so it would be a non issue.
KitKat has started release in Poland via Kies and official source code available now for developers. May be just around the corner. But we will just have to wait and see as usual.
