When are we getting 4.2?

When will the S3 get 4.2?

Some time in May/June

Some time after the S4 is released, so May earliest.

Do you think we'll get everything the S4 has provided it isn't hardware dependent? Or will they hold back on some stuff?

We all waiting too.

What we have heard is we will get everything that isn't hardware dependant, but Samsung can always change their minds.

I can't see them giving us everything, if they want people to upgrade from the S3.

that's what they promised... I know, I know

If you like android 4.2, them, flash cyanogenmod XD
I have had android 4.2 since december 2012, with cyanogenmod, but i think oficial android 4.2 of Samsung will arrive when samsung release his S4
Sorry if i have the worse english of the world :silly:

S2 got most things the s3 has. I would assume the same will happen with s3. Things like screen resolution, 13mp camera, air view, pedometer, barometer etc won't come across due to hardware - these are the reasons you would upgrade. Exactly same as s2

Can you not upgrade your phone to the new Samsung software which is coming with the S4?
I am afraid the new software would bog down the S3 and I want my phone running fast and don't really want any of the new software features I have seen.

Running fast and Touchwiz don't go well together. It's kind of either or.

First we wait for 4.3, then we wait for GS5 which should be out by next Spring when we are all going out of contract (early adopters of GS3).

There is hope
Well There's good news that there has been a branching from cm 10.1 to cm 10.2 on the github code for p3100.
here is the link: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_p3100/tree/cm-10.2
Although at the moment there's no change to it. So hopefully we will get 4.3 through cm.

Google is your friend. 4.3 hasn't been announced for any version of the S4 other than the Google Edition.

I heard they were skipping that 4.3 for the s3 and s4 and updating those straight to key lime . 4.3 is just a small update. Google need to let the os sit for a while instead of update after update it's getting hard to keep up unless you update your phone allot and no one likes a old phone no matter how good it works.

After yesterday's news, I guess we should now look for Kitkat?

Guess we are getting 4.3. The us version no telling.

Next month for the international versions. No word as usual for the US carriers. Probably Nov/Dec.

Given how Samsung wants folks to buy their "gear", I suspect it won't be too late even for the US carriers - should be within 2 months (my guess)

The only thing I'm interested about this phone is whether it will get a new design language that doesn't scream cheap. Knowing Samsung I fully expect the fingerprint sensor to be a half-baked ass feature like their past and present special feature crappy bloatware.

They pushed the GN3 out the door pretty darn quickly so its very possible we could see the GS5 out the door in March.

With the TWIN BIG EVILS AT&T & Verizon a locked down bootloader is a given. They claim its for security and network integrity, but we know its to keep us from gutting their crapware.

Android Lollipop Ports?

Saw that quite a few devices like the SIII Mini and Xperia L were getting Android L ports and was wondering if any devs were planning to make this happen for the S4? A Samsung update to L is supposed to be released soon but I want that Google feel lol.
