i've just done the update, seems like there isn't any noticeable improvements for now, not until we upgrade to kitkat

Just noticed the update too, nothing noticeable except maybe some placebo smoothness, it seems much less jittery? At least it's a sign that Kitkat is near.
Also, notice how the screen shots have the Kitkat white battery.

Well they did say kitkat would be out for the z1 early Feb

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxUJy4PO8czMU3VFaVp3RTdkdzQ/edit?usp=sharing

Seems kit kat shouldn't be too far away given the Z1 and Z Ultra get the update then the Z/ZL/ZR so seems like there's some progress in getting Kitkat working and out to the public.

This app is still useless until it allows excluding folders and file types. QuickPic is 100x better.

Whether it's "useless" or not isn't really relevant to anything.

Annoys me as well...I would prefer the native album to be fully functional, rather than resort to a 3rd party app for a simple but important feature.

Hmm.. This is interesting

If the 'Album' update came with KitKat support, then something good is arriving, don't you think guys?

4.1.1 Jelly Bean is unlikely until Samsung releases new binaries

Seeing as the comment made by Codeworkx was made in the development forum, I thought the discussion over CM10 and Jelly Bean should be handled over here.
The statement in question: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28610881&postcount=1871
Incompatible binarys.
Will result in no audio, no camera, no hwcomposer, no video codecs...
Enough said?

It looks like we'll have quite the wait before CM10 or Jelly Bean is available for the S3.

same story with cm9 and android 4.0 update for sgs2 few months back...
Sounds good to me. By the time we get it most apps should be stable on jellybean. At the moment I'm having a lot of compatibility issues on the gnex.
Anyway this phone is already smooth as butter and Google now sucks.

I wouldn't say Google Now sucks, I'm looking forward to it.
As for smoothness, I've only had the device running extremely smoothly while on CM9. On stock and modded TW, it is quick but nowhere near your average Jelly Bean device. CM9 still has issues with camera quality but I've been running it due to the improvements in performance elsewhere.
You'd have to have been living under a rock to even contemplate the idea of Samsung releasing Jellybean within the next 2 months given their history.
Maybe I'm also the only one in the world who can find their way home without a map.

Zing!
Seriously though, I think Google Now is very interesting. I've been hearing about it's behaviour for a week or two on my friend's Nexus. It seems to me that the more this gets worked on, the more intuitive it can become while it's "watching" where you're at regularly.
Already he's noticed it prompting him about traffic around the times he leaves for work in the morning and for home in the afternoon, to tell him about traffic conditions & ETAs.
Pretty amazing possibilities if you can get the phone to passively offer helpful information without asking if you ask me...

Why? ICS was released in November, Samsung leaked the ICS-based stock ROMs in December already, and in February I received an OTA.

HTC Pulled the 4.2.2 Release!?

According to Three UK, HTC has pulled the 4.2.2 release for the HTC One. The tweet is quoted and linked below. Does anyone have any further information on this?

It wasn't officially released in any variant of the One yet. So technically HTC didn't pull anything.

Three haven't exactly been spot on in the past, so take it with a pinch of salt until something more official comes along.
The super-optimist in me thinks HTC got a peak at 4.3 (due to the nexus edition) and figured it was worth waiting for, but I put him back in his cage.
Yea they will probably take another month to release this, I really hope they are more prepared for key lime pie, I'm getting impatient with this because once again I passed up Samsung because of it's ui, I got it on my note 8.0 and it's perfect for tablet but I prefer different for a phone, I just want quick settings back

It's Three. Rough translation: Damn! We can't cripple 4.2.2 with all our in-house additional features (that we object to be called bloatware) so we better start a rumour that it was all HTC's fault.

Z2 launched officially with KitKat. The version numbers in this new certified firmware went down, so this might be a step backwards.

I'd say it's highly unlikely there will be any new exploits.
Could this contain the fix for the dreaded overheating issue that's plaguing this device? I really hope so. The overheating is the only issue that's making me consider another device.

Id say you should return it if you have issues beside extensive 4k recording.
Heavy use untill it died, and i can only make it "overheat" with 4k camera work.
(Edit) Scratch that, just did another run with 1080 and just goto to 10m, now I am actualy alitle dissapointed.
As far as root goes, there will always be a way to exploit software. Just be happy we have the best minds on it.

I was testing the Xda app on my new d6503. In fact it is my first post on XDA. I've learned a LOT just be reading. Hopefully this new firmware fixes the 4k recording issue and low volumes (notifications and speaker) . I get an "unknown error" immediately after I start recording in 4k. Once a firmware is certified does that mean it will be made public via OTA or PC companion? If so, how long does it normally take from certification to rollout ?

I ordered mine to Australia from Hong Kong, it arrived and had an update to 17.1.A.2.55 out of the box, after a few hours of tinkering I connected it to my PC and installed some of the Sony Mobile Companion software which notified me I had another update to 17.1.A.2.69.
I couldn't tell you what I noticed to be different as I had only had it for 2-3 hours, most of which consisted of downloading most my old apps and signing in etc.
