Is there any chance that Samsung will officially update the Touchwiz UI on S4 to match that of Galaxy S5?
While new Android versions have continued to be released for Galaxy S4, the UI has hardly changed. Even Note 3 has a different Touchwiz than S4.
HTC on the other hand has committed to releasing the new Sense 6 for the old HTC One. :good:

As for official update, I guess they'll push out an update containing the newer software features some time in the next 2-3 months.

Hopefully they do, theres no real reason not to, other than they want more people to buy the S5 than hang on to their S4.
The S3 got some of the S4 features/change when it got the last update to 4.3, so we should see some further changes, but probably not for a while as @modyt suggests.

Yes, I had read about the updates that came to S3 with the JB 4.3 update. But if Samsung is waiting to push UI changes with a new Android version update I think it will be quite a while (December 2014 or later may be).
@modyt - Thanks for those links. If I have to root then I am looking forward to CM ROM. Hopefully the sound bug will be solved by then.

Thats true, 4.4.3 looks like it is being tested at the moment by Google, so could be rolling out in the next month or so (obviously a bit longer to reach non-Nexus devices). Then there will be Google I/O in June (?) time, with the possibility of another update then. The next update could be around October/November when the Nexus 6 is likely to be released. Either way a lot of the S5 stuff has already been hacked to work on our S4, so if you're happy to go down the unofficial route for now you can.

The sound bug is gone, from what I've read. It was apparently a modem issue. And today's nightly has lots of fixes for audio recording too.

HTC One M7 got the new sense 6 :good: & this is really cool from HTC where updates for their UI is released in no time, but for Samsung they are really taking so so long for official updates !!!!!
That really let me feel so bad about Samsung, they just know how to release new smartphones but then they forget to update it.

What do you think the next s3 update will be? 4.2? 4.2.1? 5.0?
What new tw features do you think or hope it will bring?
When do you think it will come?
I don't mind if they skip on 4.2.x to concentrate on the next bomb they might drop (4.3/5.0) and as far as new tw features I'd like more social, like windows phone style baking in of Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Google plus, path, viber etc, they could make some deals and take it to the next level.
Saying that, i am more than happy with 4.1.2 with nova 2 prime, phone is sick, fast and smooth!
Sent via second class post, so I don't expect you to read this for at least a few weeks.
a 4.2 update would be easy for them, its a small upgrade in terms of what we're use to, So I don't think Google will announce another Android version until Google I/O which is in July I think so being Samsung I believe this 4.2 update will be in August and the 4.3/5.0 released in November lol.
No but really they should release the 4.2 update, they won't skip it.
Somewhere I read that 4.2 will be released... don't remember where, so they won't be skipping it
Im sure next update from android will be 5.0
Hope it's not 4.2 rather 4.2.1 as there been alot of problems with 4.2, which they quickly updated on Nexus smartphones and Tabs.
Tbh i be very surprised if we see 5.0 on the international Galaxy S3 due to it only having 1gb of ram, if 5.0 does come it more likely be for the LTE & Note II as 5.0 is rumored to need 2gb of ram.
The Galaxy S4 & Note III on the otherhand, will 100% get 5.0 update sometime this year

I still believe they will do an update this January (or February at most) with their own fix for the /dev/exynos-mem security hole And if they are able to use 4.2.1 with it then it will be a lot better for us - but I am not holding my breath
i think there'll be a 5.0 and we'll be on it with custom roms when 4.2.1 hits

And what do you think....??? And what changes going to be done in jellybean 4.2.x....... What features going to be add
Will samsung improve more (or) only make minute changes
Did you get any news (or) information about upcoming update or leaks for Jellybean 4.2

I prefer 4.1.x to 4.2.x so I'll likely skip that update if it comes. I'm actually on 4.1.1 now after reversing back from 4.1.2 and I'm happy with it.
When I had my Nexus 4.2 was slower and buggier than 4.1.

I dont see any diffrence between the 4.1.2
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note II using TapaTalk 2.
personally, i dont really mind when we get 4.2.1. there arent that many add ons that i would consider significant enough to warrant an update.
want lockscreen widgets? most music apps already have them and some of the other apps on the market already do too.
want photo sphere? i dont see how samsung (or other app developers) wouldnt be able to add that themselves to their own camera app.
improved keyboard with gesture typing? we already have that.
multiple users? dunno about you guys but im the only one using my phone. sure, would be nice to lock out friends with a guest account when they borrow my phone, but not a necessity or something i'll use everyday.
wireless mirroring? cant we already do that with allshare?
daydream? not something i'd use since it pretty much stops the device from going to sleep, which will reduce battery life.
4.2.1 is mainly an improvement for those who are using unadulterated aosp and aokp, but for someone like me who doesnt actually mind touchwiz, its not significant enough for me to shout out whoop dee doo.

You folks do know that there has already been a 4.2.1 leak for the S3 a while back. Most likely they will start rolling it out after the S4 becomes commercially available.
The firmware wasn't very stable as it was a development build but it did contain many of the features that ship with the S4.
I imagine the Note2 version will contain some extra stuff.
You can get the S3 firmware from Sammobile.

I am talking about 4.2.2..... Not 4.2 or 4.2.1
Hi.
I saw official launch of mega series on samsung site.
Mega 5.8 and 6.3 are using dual core processor with 1 gb of ram. ( 1.5 gb on gsmarena)
They are launched with 4.2.2.
So by this I can assume that sammy will roll out 4.2.2 for note as well. Though wait will be long.
What's your take on this. Any views?

Hardware is NOT an issue.
Sammobile received news from an insider a few months ago that the Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy Note should both be getting updates to 4.2.2.
Their insider isn't always right though, so this could just be a load of bollocks but still. You never know...
Another faulty update process made with no interest and no real testing at all? Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick to 4.1.2 after a clean flash, which will surely be the peak for this device in terms of performance/functionality/estability.
But of course will be interesting for the dev community, if we all live enough to see it...
Enviado desde mi GT-N7000 usando Tapatalk 2
While I hope we can get one or two more performance updates (especially regarding the S-Note application!) plus an updated unlock screen, I don't believe the phone needs anything else. My aging N7000 has served me well, especially after a fresh battery replacement.
I doubt that the update will be of any use if it isn't released any time soon. This fall the Note will have been available for 2 years. That's a very long life circle for a phone. Very soon people's Notes will start to die, one after another. And by the time the update will be published there will be hardly any Notes left
Sent from my revived Galaxy Note
4.2 should come for our Note: Galaxy S4 Mini and Galaxy Tab 3 have a dual core proccesor and 1 gb RAM Specs. Samsung sold more than 15 millon of GT N7000 so, its not an unknow phone like the Galaxy Fame or others and they will bring still a lot of support. I guess the 2014 will be the last year of updates for our Note. Dont wait to a major update this year, they first need to finish updating the 4.1.2 to the whole world, then will start the 4.2 updates. You might wait to a November/December leak...
Sorry my bad english
I do not beleive for any future update. SAM forget about his childs after the year. I faced with this already with my Galaxy Tab 10.1. Spec is the same like Note. But last update comes more then year ago, it was 4.0.4
The Note WILL receive Android 4.2.2. It will, however, be the last official update that it'll receive.
There's no date for the update. Samsung will update both the Note II and the S3 before, so when they receive it, we can expect it in about a month or two.

My statement, as you say, is based on history and facts.
First off, SamMobile already confirmed that the Note and the S2 will receive Android 4.2.2, and that it'll be the last official update. Do a simple search and you'll confirm it. They have the track record to back this.

Then, this is exactly the same situation that happened with 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.
Rest assured, we'll receive 4.2.2. It'll come after the Note 2 and the S3, and before the Red Sox wins another WS.
Well I hope your right. But sammobile has been wrong many times in the past. Maybe when the dodgers win

However, SamMobile said some devices will get Android 5.0, while this android build wasn't showed by Google or even leaked. So we dont know if SamMobile's source was saying the truth or not. We dont know if 4.2.2 will be the last update, if will get S4 UI, if will be more faster, we dont know ANYTHING about this. The best thing we can do right now is look at the S3 leaked 4.2.2 firmware, because i think it will be the same rom that could have in our phones. I expect we will have the update (or the leak) in November or December.

4.1.2 or 4.2.2........It doesn't matter much until and unless samsung stabalizes the update...........they released 4.1.2 update so late...and it was not smooth and performance wise it's so power hungry.
Also the touchwhiz interface is so slow with 4.1.2 update. So samsung must stabalize it before jumping it to 4.2.2
Well note still is a very capable phone. But its true that it has almost served its purpose. Spending time to make its update will need more workforce and distraction from focusing on newer devices. We will also get bore from it soon. But i still am happy to have this device and it was a nice decision to opt for this device. Though it will get the 4.2.2, but not the KLP...

now.note 2 willnot have 4.2..direct 4.3 here is proof
Australian carrier Telstra has received a confirmation that the Samsung Galaxy Note II 4G model will skip Android 4.2.2 and will be updated straight to the 4.3 Jelly Bean. It doesn't seem to be a regional thing either - all Galaxy Note II units might be treated that way.
Here is the official quote from Telstra's support page:
Samsung have elected globally to skip the 4.2.2 update for this device and will instead go to a newer version of Android. No schedule has been provided for this update.
We already know that Samsung Galaxy Note II will live long enough to taste the Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie, so owners shouldn't worry about the Android updates.
Meanwhile, Samsung still manages to keep the upcoming Galaxy Note III under wraps, but a picture taken with it popped up in Picasa yesterday. It hardly gives us much info, but it does confirm the device model number - N9005. This will most probably going to be the Snapdragon 800 version of the phablet with the revamped Exynos 5 powering the N9000 version.
The Note III will be announced on September 4 ahead of IFA in Berlin. It's expected to bring 5.7" 1080p Super AMOLED display and 3GB of RAM.

Breaking: Samsung has just started testing Android 4.3 for the #GalaxyNoteII.
Now that we finally know that Samsung started testing the Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S3 and Note II. The big question is: When will Samsung update the three devices to Android 4.3. We expect that Samsung will update the Galaxy S4 in October. The Galaxy S3 is expected to be released around October end / November. We expect Samsung to update the Galaxy Note II around November end / December. Samsung probably want to give the Note III a couple of exclusive months before the Note 2 will get those features. All three the devices are expected to get more functions and the latest Touch Wiz interface.
We also can confirm that Samsung is busy to test Android 4.3 for their Galaxy Mega series.
Samsung promised to bring Android 4.3 as fast as possible.
Let’s hope everything goes according to plan.

That would require they have to stop the work they're doing on 4.3 and restart it all for 4.2.2. Spend weeks certifying that before finally releasing it, and then eventually restart 4.3. We'd end up getting 4.3 sometime next summer.
Why would they waste months of work for a version they've already said they've skipping?
dont be happy or excited..
if you love root then it will come with bad news which is """"KNOX"""" :crying::crying::crying:
there is still no way to void knox warranty and if you upgrade to newest fw then you even cant downgrade or flash same fw again.
just looked at s4's forums...
they have a knox research thread.:silly::silly::crying:

doubtul as haven't they been working on 4.2,2 for ages anyway and was due out a couple of months back but then since 4.3 was announced they went towards that? since they can build a 4.3 for the phone that quick anyway

Companies like Samsung are not single man ROM bakers that can just throw a ROM together and toss it out there full of bugs in a day or two. They have to test everything very carefully and it has to be signed off on, and that takes at a minimum, weeks of effort.

yes I am aware of this but the 4.2.2 update was due for months back anyway wasn't it then they decided to not release and skip stright to 4,3 surely if it was meant for release months ago it was near ready anyway
Not necessarily. They've been working on several new devices in the meantime so I'd be surprised if they'd even started on 4.2.2 when they decided to skip to 4.3 instead.
question , why you think they will update S3 before Note2 ? while Note2 is newer than S3 !!
only answer i think of is for selling more N3 or maybe because it has more feature than S3 ?

The source says to give time for the note 3 to have the exclusive features. That, and the S3 has 4.2.x, whereas we don't.
Nice ,waiting until
