[Q] When will get get the update? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When will galaxy s4 get the update 4.4 without being rooted?

Within the next 2 to 6 months. HTC have said the One will get it within 3 months. So probably looking at the same or similar time frame.

You won't see this update minor or not for maybe 2 months.
Yeah I know..it contains new power maintenance module and new kernel..once applied you can't go back to 4.1.1
And still majority of devices yet to get jb..
It will take 3 months to reach out any OEM except nexus..
This confirms new nexus/s getting launched next month at allthingD

Have you had a Samsung smart phone with Sprint before? If so then that should answer your question on how long it takes us to get updates after an international update has been released.
I've had all the samsung phones on sprint and there usually a month behind but we usually see a leak by now

People have been trying to predict unsuccessfully for years. It comes out when it comes out.
As soon as samsung is done releasing their franchise killing mulitple galaxy s4 models.

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.

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

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

I don't find any reason why s3 won't get 4.4 update

Hey
It WILL come, don't worry
As you probably know, the Korean version already has it. I think the problem is that Samsung just have to many models to update and therefore it has been delayed.

It is planned by Samsung or at least that is what Vodafone Spain said on its forum.
They suck at updates really. They think this device is a mistake.
Sent from my GT-I9506 using Tapatalk
Because I9506 is direct competitor to S5, Samsung will postpone update as long as it possible. I think there is a maximum time between Google releases new Android version and already-released phone receive this update. Be sure, I9506 will receive it in the last days of this time-frame.
E330S was the first S4 model received KK officially, so there is no other reason why I9506 wouldn't receive it at the same day since hardware is the same.

Kitkat for GT-I9506
Android-Update:
Kitkat for Galaxy S4 + LTE GT-I9506 comes in June
According to areamobile de
4.4.3 that says we should wait about a month or two.

I think your devices will update directly to android 4.4.3. I think it is a bit stupid get android 4.4.2 update if in 1 month you gonna get android 4.4.3 under my point of view.
4.4.3 will be coming for the i9506
