The Galaxy S3 Android 4.3, JellyBean update started rolling out once again for the international version.
The company stopped the update not too long ago due to certain issues users were having. Galaxy S3 owners noticed several performance and battery problems with the software and complained about it directly to Samsung influencing them to pull the plug on the initial roll out.
The new version of the firmware is available to owners of the GT-I9300 model. The update will bring full Galaxy Gear support, but does not come with Samsung Knox features. It can be installed OTA over-the-air or through Samsung KIES.
The Android 4.3, JellyBean update also recently became available for the Galaxy Note 2 in Canada. Multiple carriers in the country have already begun rolling out the software to the phablet such as Mobilicity and Videotron. It is available OTA (over-the-air). The update weighs in at over 700MB and brings various improvements to the device.
Sprint Galaxy Note 2 users can also update to Android 4.3, JellyBean. The final version of the firmware began rolling out to the carrier's customers at the end of last month. Android 4.3 brings a slew of changes to the Galaxy Note 2 such as TouchWiz refresh to match the theme from the Galaxy S4 and Note 3, a new lockscreen with multiple widgets, adjustable clock size and personal message, actionable notifications and daydream mode.
Users will also be able to move apps to the SD card and will have new screen modes such as Adapt Display and Professional Photo. TRIM support will be added to improve performance along with Galaxy Gear support, Driving Mode, voice commands and Samsung KNOX compatibility.
