    no question but Samsung has delivered with the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update for the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note 2 and the Galaxy S4 no gloss piece

    .

    But while the protests regarding the Jelly Bean update for the Galaxy S3 were immense, it almost seemed as if the run Android 4.3 update for the Galaxy S4 reasonably stable. Officially, Samsung had so since announced that the rollout for the Galaxy S3 would be suspended after the protests until the problems are ironed out. A new schedule was not mentioned.

    ? episode ukonio.de on Twitter, Facebook or Google+ to 4.3 to stay current with Android for the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 to date.

    We would so as to announce that the rollout for the Samsung Galaxy S3 is coming back into gear – but once again the “fresher” Galaxy S4 seems “preferable” to be: how the very well-informed in the rule of colleagues Dutch IT portal SamMobile report, the rollout for the Samsung Galaxy S4 is now back in full swing. The build date of that apparently revised firmware comes from 27 November. But something irritates us that the Build Date that version, o2 roll out the network operator E-Plus and since one and two days for the Galaxy S4 is an older. The understand yet. But it must be noted: Samsung distributed a bug-fix update of Android 4.3

    .

    The firmware is so because once distributed for the Samsung Galaxy S4. It can be basically deduced that it would also go for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 phablet shortly on -. Possibly as early as next week

    Where Samsung has not set the roll-out for those two devices in its entirety: For Android 4.3 for the Galaxy Note 2 as in India or Canada was (that’s it then but even) distributed. And in the U.S., the network operator Verizon and T-Mobile have begun to provide the firmware Android 4.3 – here mind you for the Galaxy S3. And: In the U.S., it is not the international version with a quad-core processor, spread there is the dual-core variant – but with 2GB of RAM

    Android 4.3 and the anxious wait

    But the lack of understanding among many users stays – this show, among other things, the many comments that ukonio.de gets to the present day. Many users indicate that they have purchased the Galaxy S3 just last year for 600 euros, and not just since the respect of Android updates on the sunny side: So Android 4.2.2 was skipped for the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 . Supposedly there were coordination problems with the TouchWiz UI.

    The rollout of Android 4.3 for the Galaxy S3 launched so because although, as announced in November – but after it first from Ireland (Vodafone), the Austria (network operators A1) or Switzerland (Swisscom) were massive complaints was the rollout turned ado the juice.

    ? Google removed CyanogenMod App from the Play Store

    Many users make the most not unjustified question why he does not succeed the South Korean IT giant to roll out an Android update without any problems: Android 4.2.2, so to have bolted with the Samsung TouchWiz user interface (this is officially confirmed of course not). And those users who have 4.3 already play in the said countries, Android, complain of such massive problems that it is no surprise that those firmware ever released: The home screen hangs, the device crashes, battery life will become faster and the loading apps takes part an eternity, the talk is of 15 seconds. Also, incoming calls can sometimes not be accepted: That’s not quite as good for a smartphone

    . Stable Android 4.3 yet in 2013

    is not known, meanwhile, whether the Android 4.3 update in India and Canada is more stable. And also in terms of the Galaxy S4 is not so many negative reviews had penetrated to the outside in the last few weeks long. Rather, here holds the Galaxy S4 Mini “brave” in the headlines: After the update to Android 4.2.2 the sim card is on many devices no longer recognized and the device must be sent at times. So here also it tweaks.

But all those Galaxy S3 or Note 2 owners who play with the idea, the SmartWatch Galaxy Gear to buy will probably look irritated from the laundry. A Galaxy S3 users told us via Facebook that his Gear “useless in the corner” around lying. The clock is ticking.

    Once there is an official statement from Samsung or the starting signal is reported for further rollouts, we will promptly report to ukonio.de.

    The list includes the identifier “KRT16″ can be seen. This is the so-called build number of the version of Android 4.4 KitKat. According to our colleagues at iTechAddict is in the present document will most likely not a fake. In addition, the editors of GottaBeMobile assume that the release details of the update plan are correct. Should confirm the information is rolled out Android 4.4 KitKat in January of next year for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-i9500) and Galaxy Note 3 (SM-N900).

The firmware update is according to the information released in March or April 2014 for the two devices. Furthermore, also the online magazines Know Your Mobile reports that Samsung Android 4.4 KitKat will roll out for the older models around two to three months after the release of the latest smartphones.

    Since Samsung has Android 4.3 for the Galaxy S3 withdrawn recently due to massive errors for now and the version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean even ceased completely for the same reasons, currently remains to be seen whether the port of Android 4.4 KitKat will occur without these problems. According iTechAddict to Android 4.4 KitKat is currently in the testing phase. Once we have further information on this topic we will of course report back about it.

    Follow ukonio.de on Facebook

    What is the precise plan has Samsung in view of the rollout of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for the Galaxy S3 and Note 2? The confusion these days is complete – and a clear structure is not visible. Take the Galaxy S3: About three weeks ago, the rollout was initially launched in Ireland, then in some Eastern European countries. In most cases, the network operator Vodafone had pressed on the tube. Since those firmware but “provided” with many bugs, there was talk that Vodafone was perhaps in the matter too quickly quickly. However, even in Switzerland – there rolled the Swisscom the update – or Austria, here A1 was responsible for the rollout, there were problems from the start. Samsung pulled the emergency brake and put the rollout in Europe ado. Not least in the UK piled up in the forums complaints.

    ? episode ukonio.de on Twitter, Facebook or Google+ to 4.3 to stay current with Android for the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 to date.

    but

    Up to a public statement by the South Korean IT giant passed again one week. And the rollout at once continued – but not in Europe but in the United States. It is there though to a different model (“only” two cores, but 2 GB RAM), yet surprising decision. The problems, meanwhile, also occur in the United States, as we have already reported on yesterday.

    IBTimes now has an article out that – no matter which update plans Android is targeting future – definitely a bug fix update expected to stand to get the problem under control. What is meant here are first of all those users who have already been playing around via the network operator T-Mobile and Verizon in the U.S., but also in Switzerland and Austria, the firmware. Because the Galaxy S3 is no longer “to use” often after the update. Users in this country can because basically durchschnaufen before.

    ukonio.de has received numerous letters from people who assert that resetting to factory settings does not help. This step advises Samsung – but it “‘s no good”: A bug-fix update must be found so that Android 4.3 still running stable on the Galaxy S3

    .

    Before the problems seem not solved, Samsung probably not continue for the Samsung Galaxy S3 to roll out probably. It is still unclear to many users, such as a – obviously – immature firmware could even be rolled out

    . Android 4.3 for the Galaxy S4

    the end of October, Samsung had announced to roll out Android 4.3 for the Galaxy S3, S4, and Note 2. During the yesterday about the launch of Galaxy was S4 devices including o2 branding in Germany, has neither regarding the Galaxy S3 still the Galaxy Note 2 done something, at least in this country. Or to put it differently: Still no white smoke rose

    .

    But the update policy on the phablet Galaxy Note 2 causes confusion: First, the rollout in India was launched just over a week ago, there then followed a few days before the launch in Canada. It almost seems as if first of all trial balloons are launched. Because even though of course in all countries at the same time a firmware update can not be started (the Samsung server would go on strike), so can not just be called a “rollover” of events.

    ? Google removed CyanogenMod App from the Play Store

    In addition to connecting the SmartWatch Galaxy Gear and spread of the Samsung Knox security package, the Android 4.3 update brings quite laudable features with it. For example, “multi-window view”, different programs can be simultaneously opened. The Galaxy Note 2 with its 5-inch screen is as natural as “painted”.

    The wait for Android 4.3 thus holds – and it is too early to forecast when the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note takes place 2. It appears certain only that Samsung may hold only in terms of the Galaxy S4 word. There are no less worse than an outstanding Android update, especially since Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean on the Galaxy S3 and Note 2 is stable.

    However, since Android was already skipped 4.2.2 because of alleged voting problems with the TouchWiz UI, of course, was for many users hope that the update would work on Android 4.3 smoothly. But those who look at all the problems with the home screen, with the discharge of the battery or starting an app, do: A few screws will have Samsung turn yet

    .

    Well, and a message that is not confirmed yet but lets hope: Android 4.4 will be rolled out in the first half of 2014 for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2. But then this is a whole new chapter …

    What do you think: Samsung gets the problems caused Android 4.3 Jelly Bean on the Samsung Galaxy S3, under control? Or is shortly to be expected with any bug fix update? We are grateful for any feedback.

While in Europe the rollout initially launched in Ireland and reached countries like Austria, where the operators A1, and Switzerland, Swisscom, or the UK, Samsung moved to less than two weeks the plug. The reason: The update seems not yet mature. Now, should first be improved, the rollout was officially stopped. But apparently only in Europe.

The network operator T-Mobile had provided for the LTE version of the Galaxy S3 in the past week, Android 4.3, Verizon put the update for the “normal” version after.

Furthermore, there is WiFi problems. In Europe also saw also the home screen for hanger – the whole system seems to be as yet under Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean unstable and sluggish

    in the U.S. is already assumed that Samsung is working on a bug fix update. This is notably not to Android 4.4 KitKat. It is quite possible that Samsung nachlegt an update Android 4.3.2. However, this is currently still speculation.
