Hi,
I have been starting to look for information about a JellyBean 4.2.1 official firmware from Samsung and I tought it might be a good idea to share the information in one place.
So far i have found that Samsung said that they will release a 4.2 firmware for some devices including our S3 Mini but it will be the last update it will get.
The S3(I9000) will get this update as well but unlike the mini it will also get Key Lime Pie in the future.
S3(I9000) already got a leaked firmware!

Wish we had such a leak.
Expected New enhancements:
Improved Ripple effect on Lockscreen
New Android 4.2.1 Lockscreen with widgets
Daydream (Settings>Display)
New Additions in Notification Center
Notifications are more actionable
Voice Command (Let’s you control various parts of the phone using voice commands)
Quick Settings Tiles Layout
for me the biggest feature i'm looking for is the "Quick Settings" tiles layout feature(trigger by two finger swipe from the top)
but! if Samsung implemented this great feature why did they keep the regular quick settings in the notification window? it take space for no reason in my opinion but i'm sure we will be able to get rid of it...
Anyhow, hope to see a leak or official firmware soon, if you have any more information to add pleas do
Will it also contains some stuff (camera 360°, sound&shot, smart pause,...) from SGS4?

I think not... and google photo sphere is also not in the leak.
so let's wait for CM 10.1. I hate Samsung! It just a software feature. must be very easy to add features of they do it. What I like is the photo sphere camera
im also looking forward for the new 4.2 update,especially i want the ripple effect back since samsung for unknown reason removed it with the last 4.1.2 update....hopefully it will come soon enough

someone said after it disabled, battery draining is much slower. Maybe Samsung disable it because of battery life.

well,if it drains battery you could always disable it...why to remove it from the features in the first place when u can disable it? the ripple effect got me into buying this phone instead of a similar spec htc or sony(which both were less expensive)...
so they should get this feature back for non-heavy users like me..to be honest i didnt see any difference in battery drainage with this stupid locker thingy now...
and its not fair to remove a feature when it is there when you buy the phone...how about you buy the new S4 which has dual camera recording/shooting and after a month samsung updates it and removes that feature saying it drains battery,when u can simply not use that

Oh well I don't know if that can disabled... but yes, the system needs to ready the effect fastly. I think yes it drains battery.
But you are right too, if it can be disabled, why they remove it...

well, your device status is custom. use "Triangle Away" app from chainfire. Free in his thread on XDA. just search. Then perform a factory reset.
If you have rooted mini, just wait couple more days after release to custom roms.
Not sure why samsung removed the ripple effect. It is kinda cool stuff.
You can get ripple effect back with 4.1.2 update. Aslong as you are rooted and have cwm.

exactly.
someone on a video on youtube said "you can expect it to be released after the S4 will come out, don't expect it sooner"
which make sense since the S4 will be released with 4.2
well according to gsmarena: "Exp. release 2013, April 26th"
so i'm guessing we should see an update in a month or so...
Ya that's right I agree with you. When I used Wonder, the galaxy SIII was coming. a month after it, I got the latest 2.3.6 update from Samsung for Wonder which contains "face unlock". face unlock in gingerbread. That time, that feature only in ICS.

Hey everyone. So I've been offered the lollipop update but I'm worried that the update will give me more problems than solutions. So I'm not updating it just yet. I have concerns about battery life getting worse, like how lollipop does to some other phones. So I'll be patiently waiting to see what you guys think, if you've tried it out already.
Also, the update is ~800MB which is kinda crazy. Guess I'll be deleting apps.
Anyways, please tell me how Lollipop is so far! Hope everything is smooth and fine.
Cheers.
Battery life is worse then on kk..

I confirm that the battery life is way worse than kk.
And the power saver notification (card) is so annoying.

By the way the lock screen is updatable on play store after the lollipop update.

Just installed, so far I think it sucks. STILL can't use a different wallpaper for Lock Screen. Thought it was because of 4.4.2 but I was wrong. It is stupid how other HTC phones can do this but this phone can't. Stupid I have to use 3rd party lock screen to achieve this feature. World clock earth is gone also. So far I hate this update.
this update is good we now hav the new stock htc camara the one with the photo booth mode i didnt really tried it out yet but i hope it dont crash which im sure it wont oh and theres no clear allwhen u click on the recents apps button

This is just a maintenance release. It includes an update to the monthly Android security patch level. Android M is coming in a future update.

I was working on the review of the device and now I have to wait till my device gets the update
will it fix the lag issues ?
I have had no lag issues with the device so far. Been using it all night. Only ever used it with B140
Sent from my KIW-L24 using Tapatalk
No real lag issues here either, but I don't use my phone as a PC. Hell I'm even running smart mode and no issues.
Has anyone tried to pull the update file so that it can be uploaded to XDA?
Same here, no lag issues at all. As soon as I got the phone I did eliminate animations and set power saving to normal. No lag and battery life is excellent. My old HTC One + needed 2 full charges to get through the day. On this I get a full two days.
I have a 0.5 amp desktop USB - I know almost useless, it came with my bluetooth headset. I am too lazy to crawl under the desk and replace it. A few hours during the day and the Honor is topped up. I don't charge at night anymore. Nor forget to charge at night.
Can you post a TWRP recovery of the update?

Well it seems in the moment there just are no updates...
Normally you should get your update via ota (you should see an update option in your "main menu"), except for beta/leaked versions, if they should leak anyhow/anytime...
For now, there are no leaked or official updates for our mediapad m3 :-/

If you Google nougat for Huawei mediapad M3 there are several sites that claim they have the download you can Flash
The only thing in the about phone setting I can find about updates is updating the emui
As I know the update emui menu will also update your android (for example to android 7 + emui 5.0).
I know these sites, but as long as I do not see a link hier on xda, on the huawei news pages or on the huawei homepage itself I think these links are just nonsense.
(For example some of these pages just link every phone available and say "download XXXXX android 7 here"... I would not try to install these... But I also suppose you won't get a real package anyway there.)

Rally don't know if we ever see 7.0 for the M3.
The M2 never received 6.0, and what I heard is that Huawei just doesn't give a fu** about tablet software.
Huawei generally doesn't give a fu** about software updates. My Mediapad X2 GEM 701 never received an update. That's why I had to undergo a hugely complex updating procedure with chinese ROMs modified sh1t.
I just got the new update with October patch. They removed the navigation bar too.
How did you get this patch for your m3? Mine can not find any updates...
Chinese version only perhaps?

Correct,also it said better chrome operation,so maybe people that had problems running chrome in small format ,now can. I always had mine set in medium text and didn't have a problem. There were other things it said ,basic improvements,etc... I can't really notice any change other than the ability to disable the new buttons. Which like I said ,disables the ability to start split screen. Unless someone can tell me how to do NB it with only the fingerprint scanner......I'm also running Nova free launcher.
Plainly,this tablet is sick as F. I'm coming from a wifi only Xperia z3tablet compact though...... the only reason I bought this just because the camera Hardware had a malfunction on the Sony.

Haha haha,
Yes in a very good way. It's heavier than the z3 compact,and no water resistance,but it's smooth ,fast,and the LTE connectivity is incredible. I always have 5 bars of 4g. Now ,I live in Thailand,and the internet is crap here compared to the USA,so in the states it's probably even better. It was half the cost of a normal flag ship phone too,and it's basically a huge phone. It comes with a screen protector and a case,however the case is Carmel color and hard to look at,but it's growing on me. This tablet charges very fast too.
If your on the fence,buy it for sure.

I figured out that it was my sim card/provider is causing the trouble. when I tried with another sim provider, it works flawlessly.
I got tired of waiting for official N release so I've decided to flash LOS instead (never liked the stock MiFavor anyhow). I have to say it fixed some issues for me and for now I'm quite happy with it. Even my LTE issue is fixed (previously my device could not locate a 4G network - tried several operators). I'd recommend you guys giving it a try, at least for those who are not afraid of experimenting with the phone

I haven't tested it yet as I have flashed the LOS just several hours ago. Still trying to get a hang on some other things before I get to the camera.
I don't think it will be much worse (or much better for that matter). It is a phone camera and I've never expected much out of them and for the occasional use it should be enough, for taking good photos I'd pick a normal digital camera any day of the weak. And besides, if you don't like the LOS camera you can always install some other camera instead.
In any case, I'll take some photos with it tomorrow and post them here for your reference.
Thanks Jedi.Tester
