Android 4.3 for Non-Google Play Edition S4 Phones? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
HI all,
I have an SGS4 which is the NON-Google Play Edition phone, does anyone know as to when the update to version 4.3 will be downloading to these phones automatically? Or does it depend on the carrier or region?
I know in fact that the S4 Google Play Edition will the update to version 4.3 quicker.
Thanks
Depends off each carrier

Is this only for the Google Play Edition S4 phones that will get the update to version 4.3?
I just have the regular default version of Android version 4.2.2 that came when I bought the phone.
I guess no, Samsung keep upgrades in his phones by 2 years so hopefully we obtain android v 5 in our phones, but the installation is carrier decision

Will I still get the update if I use my own WiFi network at home?
So just to confirm, that even if I do not have the Google Play Edition of the S4 will I still eventually get the Android 4.3 update?

You'll get it when Samsung release there touchwiz version of it but at the moment its just the Google edition s4 that its rolling out for.

Hmm ... is it possible to switch to Google Play Edition from Samsung Stock firmware or does this fail because my SGS4 is an I9505?

Guys,we have still Write Protection Enabled! We can't flash the PIT,Baseband,Bootloader so i think OTA Updates are still a dream for us... we have to wait for a Method to turn off this ugly write Protection in Bootloader
BR
So those of us who do not have the Google Play Edition of the S4, we will not get the Android 4.3 update at all?
Until Samsung releases the Touchwiz version for your phone, no, you won't. Eventually they'll release it when they manage to implement all the touchwiz features on 4.3

Ok, I understand now. Thanks for the help on this.
I don't think Samsung will release a 4.3 update anytime soon. Like mentioned they will only use their own touchwiz version. Plus their current version works just perfect, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Alternatively there is a few 4.3 ROMs currently on nightly. And even direct ports for the 4.3 i9505G update so you can run it on your standard i9505.
Don't sweat it. If you want it there are always ways to get it.
Peace.

Perfect? Noooo..I have some problems with it lags and I can read a lot of bugs reported, and the Touchwiz eat a LOT of memory, my nexus 4 with the same installation eat 600mb touchwiz 1.5 gb!

Look at the Galaxy Note 2 it will not get 4.3... but it will get 5.0 and i think Samsung goes the Same way on the Galaxy S4 and yes if anyone needs 4.3 there are a lot of 4.3 Builds out yet (Not Touchwix but good old CM+AOSP) but this is a bit Offtopic:silly:
We get 4.3 after the Note 3 is launched which will come with 4.3 out of the box, hopefully Samsung will do the same for the S4 as they did with the S3 & Note 2 and add some new features from the Note 3.
So the earliest we could see 4.3 on the S4 is around October/November time.

Samsung Might Skip 4.2.2 Update for Galaxy S3, to bring 4.3 instead
Samsung Might Skip 4.2.2 Update for Galaxy S3 and Note 2, Plans Jelly Bean 4.3 Instead, along with Galaxy S4 http://www.sammobile.com/2013/07/16/rumor-samsung-may-skip-android-4-2-2-on-galaxy-note-ii-galaxy-s-iii-for-android-4-3/
i don't think so 4.3 is not on the nexus 4 yet so it would still be a surprise if we get it this year which makes plenty of time for 4.2.2 on our device
I am glad we have great Aosp Roms and we don't have to wait for crapwiz.
That is old speculation and rumor that has grown new legs today . Reports all tend to be identical . jje
Where did the leak 4.2.2 came frm? Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
O look!......another rumour.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! (It's an old man thing!)
They already skipped 4.2.1.... the 4.2.2 leak us much more advanced. It takes a LOT of effort to take google's source code and touchwiz it up. If they skipped 4.2.2 for 4.3, 4.3.1 will be on the horizon so they may aswell keep scrapping up to android 18.5... Nah, rumour = rubbish IMHO Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
My S3 updated yesterday to 4.2.2, Belgrade, Serbia.

It is the leak compiled in May. NO WAY would they release a 2 month old leak as a stable release. But, XX is not UK, Most of Europe use XX, Including Poland (who are usually first to get new releases) and Serbia, where the guy with the jokes is from. As you can see on sammobile.com, Serbia will get XX releases. http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9300&pcode=TSR#firmware
No jokes, really guys, I just shared this with you. My buddy got an upate to 4.3 on S4 same day. I don't know what is wrong with this, I am not joking with you. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4 Beta

4.3 with samsung apps?
hi, sorry for stupid question, but.. is it possible to get 4.3 on i9505 and keep original camera app, keyboard, alarm and some other samsung apps?
I believe you must wait for the official ota/kies update of 4.3.. Even though i believe 4.3 will be skipped for 5.0 which is roumored to be released in October 2013 Sent from my GT-I9500 using xda premium

If you have a google edition phone, then you are going to get the 4.4 update soon, Patience Grasshopper!

Kitkat phone dialer on Google play edition Galaxy s4 running 4.4.2
Not sure how many of you use galaxy s4 google play edition.... But I am interested if the kitkat update brings the same phone dialer as that in nexus phone? Also can someone tell what is missing in Kitkat 4.4.2 that's running on S4 vs. nexus 5.
You may get more replies in the international s4 forum. I believe that is where the gpe is officially supported. Running an att version with gpe software... I assume nothing missing if you are willing (i am) you can use the google experience launcher with no issues. Imo the only con to the s4 gpe is its price tag. Other than that its my favorite.
