I am going to buy the Google S4 when it is released on the 26th. Does anyone know what time Google normally puts up new devices for sale? I want to make sure I get one early in case they sell out.
Also will XDA have a Google Edition Device forum?
It should be up in the play store tommorow.

Save your time and money, get a i9505 and flash AOSP.

Official AOSP also be devices that were purchased through Google?
Lol can't wait to build it for my i9505
I'm betting it will be released around noon, US time. (GMT-6 to GMT-9) I think.
Hello , i was wondering if theres going to be android 4.3 for the international I9500?
Sorry, for creating a new topic about this but ive searched in plenty of threads and none got the answer.Thank you.

[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.

Samsung never really cared for their custumers,its all about money for them, make sense why they wouldnt update their latest flagship.
Thanks anyways mate.

Lol. They will update. The question is not if but when. It could be as long as a year before they get around to it.

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

Lolzzz.. I think question must be like "Will S4 get Official KLP 5.0
Coz i have seen 5.0 structure in google android. they are working on it.

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.

Why would you go from A Galaxy S4 to a Nexus 4? Loss of usb otg makes it seem like a downgrade to me.

Nexus has otg but it needs power for it. I have an external battery source so it wouldn't be an issue. I am absolutely bored of my s4. Nothing new is going on with it. Because of the locked bootloader it is an issue. I don't feel like I'm getting anything out of my s4. I'm done with branded phones. If my s4 doesn't sell now then ill just buy the n5 whenever it arrives in October.

This was what happened when I went from my Galaxy Nexus to S3, although it was an international version so it didn't have problem with locked boot loader. I think if you have gotten the international version there would be plenty of roms to play with.

There are roms to play with but I just don't feel that I am getting everything out of this phone that I could. I haven't even flashed a rom in weeks. I don't feel like I'm using a quad core because of lag. I played a few games and I lagged. I am just going to wait for the n5 and swap out.

How's that S4 Google Edition?

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.

I think it relies on 4.4. But idk for sure.

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

Probably not , they have dosens of S4 versions Note3 ,upcoming S5 versions and note 4 to boost to Kitkat.
S3 is 2 years old device , 4.3 seems apropirate.

The device was announced & released on May 2012, how is it two years old already? 1.5 years.
Samsung usually push 2 updates to their phones we got these updates so it would be a miricle to get kikkat from samsung

excactly my thought
iphone 4s gets the newest ios form apple and why sould the s3 dont get kitkat? kitkat was made for lower devices and s3 is quad core or am i a noob and the s3 is now a low device
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
everything is possible with CyanogenMod
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 !!

4.4 update has been released for note 3
next device getting it will be S4
and as of S3 ,it will be surely getting 4.4 but it may cross the estimated time of april

Don't worry,we will get kitkat.
lets hope we get it i love my s3 and touchwiz it would be great if we get kitkat

Btw,don't expect lower RAM usage. That will be optimized for low-end devices,but not for us.

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
Sent from my GT-I9300
I don't find any reason why s3 won't get 4.4 update
