Where is Android 4.3 for our S3?

[johnnysims]

So far no updates to SA Galaxy s3's ... what's up? Stuck on 4.1.2 for almost a year now. Now I know it was buggy, but seriously, can they not hurry it up? By this tempo we'll be upgrading our contracts before an update ever reaches the phone!

I gave in and flashed Omnirom nightly. Phone smooth and snappy.

Already running it since December 2013

You guys should really check out Team UB ROMS, best I've come across by far.

Been running 4.4.2 since it was first ported to the S3.

 

[Rocket-Boy]

Cyanogen running 4.4.2

Running resurrection remix, pretty awesome. Only app I've found that doesn't work is Uber which crashes right away, but I do need to update a bit...

My S3 just updated to 4.3 via OTA.

Don't see it available for Vodacon yet, not sure what XFA is (probably eMpTyN).

So, very shortly I would expect, if you do not want to root your phone.

 

[johnnysims]

Yeah, I don't want to root. I am on Vodacom. No Ota so far

 

[johnnysims]

Which network?

 

[Valerion]

My update was on MTN. I find that Vodacom's updates tend to be some time later, judging by my friend's old S3.

Can't seem to find XXE ?

Current rom on S3 is the std I9300XXELLA

I also don't understand those XXE and XFV codes. My Vodacom s3 still knows nothing about an update.. Nor does Vodacom. I don't get why our networks are so pathetic and don't know info about firmware updates.
