We all bought this classic phone for more than INR20000 and all we got was a minor android upgrade to 4.2 followed by a extremely good bnb2 update :/
On the contrary other manufactures like moto has already stated it will upgrade its 2012 series to kitkat.
Myself along with few fellow members here have been troubling samsung but all we are getting is a lame same response .
Its time we raise our voice
I am not creating a petition here as I have very well seen in xperia u and sgs2 section that petitions dont work.
So I am requesting for all our sake plz start bothering samsung for our most popular indian midranger device
Samsung mobile india twitter account is @SamsungmobileIN
Samsung mobile twitter account is @Samsungmobile
Directly email to samsung india executive team

Just select mobile phone/ smartphone/ grand
Well many may think this is useless some may be more optimistic about trying atleast.
Please Join the hands so that Samsung will be pressurized to look into to this...:thumbup:

Are you trolling?
1) Microsoft and Samsung are completely different entities.
2) India will never receive the first Jellybean update.
3) We ALL know that Jellybean is coming.
4) If he did, indeed, receive a call from customer support, one legally valid response they can give him is that the update is coming soon (which we ALREADY know is coming). They can't tell you more than that because Samsung India DO NOT KNOW!
As i wrote on the Ultimate GS3 Sudden death topic let's
make a TT like that( #SolveGalaxySIIISuddenDeath ) and maybe Samsung will care much about this topic.At least we can force them to explain the issue.

They do care, after sales care is just as important as getting people to buy a product in the first place. The sudden death could do a lot of harm to Samsung if they just sweep it under the carpet, they will be seen as a company that puts a high price tag on inferior products.
Something all businesses believe "a good reputation takes years to achieve, and can be destroyed in seconds" In essence Samsung has taken years to build a good reputation (it's why most of us bought the S3) now if they don't at least try to solve the sudden death it could severely damage their reputation, and people will not buy their products.
And let's not forget the warranty repair costs to Samsung, we don't know how much they make out of each handset sold, but motherboard replacements for a lot of devices will heavily cut into their profit margins.

what a childy thing you said..
is obvious that only the elder phones can die at that range ( 150-250) simply because phones made later haven't reached that date
so is only a luck question and yes, they sold 40m of devices and how many died?
So please do not alarmate

Thats the key to this problem 40 million devices and how many SD .
Very very small number so far .
Twitter and all the rest surely a customer would be contacting Samsung both via service center for repairs and via a complaint letter to head office .

I have to pretty much agree with you on this, as the issue will put people (well people who research before buying) off of at least buying the S II, SIII and note 2. As I'm one of those people, and I'm sure there'll be others. I already bought one Samsung Note 10.1, and because of it, andI was thinking of updating my phone, and was considering the SIII but now I've found out about this, I'm in two minds.
And I'm sure there's others who are now thinking twice about buying more Samsung products in the future, so it's definitely in Samsung's interest to fix it and do so as quick as reasonably possible to prevent loss of face.

Technically Samsung released the fix in their sources, so it's them that made the fix available to all of us through our developers. And OTA updates are slower because they need to be approved by regional operators.

The next version of Android version is "5.0 Lollipop". This is the last hope for our S3 GT-I9300. We can't say anything about it now. BTW, Samsung has shortlisted some SAMSUNG devices that are going to get the taste of the new Lollipop . Fortunately, our S3 is shortlisted

Dude , we are 100% most definitely not getting an upgrade, cant stress that enough , there is alredy 500 newer device models that are covered by 18month period , samsung has no plans to waste time on 3 year old device, especialy not now when we are overtaking apple on almost every market.

I think, if would have an update, this will come from independent developers, not from sammy.
At the end, is better that way, community is open to help and continue improving those ROMs.
:good:
AOSP maybe, official Samsung not. I think in order to port a Samsung rom it a device with our chipset would have to receive it, which i highly doubt since it is quite old.

There will be AOSP 5.0 roms for i9300 ofc, s3 was and probably is still most downloaded CM rom.
And once again, samsung stopped manufacturing s3 and dropped support for any software updates months ago. S3 i9300 is a dead device in samsungs eyes .
If you had company that sold milions and milions of devices daily and you just unveiled two of your best newest flagship devices what would you do ? Update 3 year old device or never update it and force users to move to s5/note4 that have the latest OS?
People need to stop making these threads and raise hope for those googlers out there.
You can make new thread for android 5.1 and 5.7 and android 100, but no more updates will happen.
Its time for new device.
2yrs old Nexus 4 gets lollipop.and our best of best ? S3 ? gets ??????? LolliPop

Not all of them installed for me.
Your post makes no sense at all.
I installed the camera and gallery.
What did not work?

The ones that do not install were meant for lollipop and don't install on 4.4.
That said, no, this is not an indicator for us. Many of these(all?) are meant for those already on lollipop.

I know for a fact when lollipop will get released. Was told directly from a verizon rep and motorola rep.
They stated we will get it when its released for our device ..... Hope that clears the confusion for everyone.

No really... I did read it. You stated that you know for a fact we would get it. Why would we not get it? I can see a galaxy s3 not getting it as of is no longer sold in the stores. So, that being said, why would a new phone, less than 6 months old, not get an update.

Maybe. Two of them were compiled with the lollipop sdk.
The layout changed when I updated the services that was included on the link from android police

What is implied here is that not all will update because some are meant for lollipop. Also yes some may update because it may be able to run on both versions.

Looks the same to me. I haven't updated anything and even that looks the same as to what I have now.

(Quoted for the reference of the reader.)
Guys...what it appears he is saying is that he was told that we will get it when we get it.
As for the apps in the OP, if a little time is taken to read through the information about any specific app generously supplied by Android Police/APK Mirror, it is stated what the Minimum Android Version is needed to run that particular app. :highfive::good:
Why is this so hard....

Thank you!!
Well I tried the camera apk yesterday hoping that it would reduce the lag but it didn't. I don't even notice what the update did yet. Oh well. Worth a try.

Lag? Its not lag. This has been mentioned before its called delay focus. This is a phone with a camera. If you want a good camera buy one that isn't a phone.

Wasn't complaining . just hoping the update added some benefit.. I love the camera and this phone but after it focuses it lags for a second. Don't care what you want to call it and I have read every post on this forum about the camera. I have also used other cameras on high end phones and it doesn't do what the turbo does. Damn dude. Get off your high horse.

I can't wait that long, I think I will install CM13 soon. I can't stand the battery saving of this phone which make the phone kind of useless for me. Even when I add the apps to Protected mode and locked them from being cleared, the Google Clock app's alarm doesn't turn on, almost woke up late for work, and at times the S-Health app stop counting steps. Everything else about the phone is good aside from this behavior.
They confirmed via email? Take anything customer service says with a grain of salt. He didn't post the contents of the email either. Other regions with similar hardware are already launching. I doubt it'll be later than mid January.
Perhaps they'll make it 7.1 instead of 7.0.

That would be a reasonable explaination why its so far away as the beta I am running is great. My daily driver with no issues, so it seems odd that they won't release this until Feb 17...

Sorry mate but that is simply not true.
Honor are putting millions & millions into this brand.
They are really pushing for a development scene by getting XDA and the likes of MoDaco involved.
They have promised 2 years of updates for this Honor 8.
They know that alot of the selling points of a new phone is how long it's going to be supported via updates.
We might have to wait a little longer or not Samsung are still doing thier beta N program.
I don't think that we are that far behind & I think we will get 7.1.1 and beyond

Yes mate I think that is exactly what is going to happen.
Why else would they go to all this bother ?
They have gone out of their way to set up aforum over at MoDaco ?
It would make no sence to produce a great phone, set up a development community and no keep the phone updated.!
I don't think so. I really do think that we will get our 2 years of updates
