Anyone who has followed the news of the update to Android 4.4 KitKat for the Samsung Galaxy S3 will not believe this. A new internal document from Samsung, which would be legitimate, confirms that the update for the Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.4 KitKat has been canceled. It is indicated that it has been due to problems that they have not been able to solve.
Not even for me, who have had the opportunity to write the different news regarding the update to Android 4.4 KitKat for the Samsung Galaxy S3, it is easy for me to remember the amount of news in reference to this new update. Many of them indicated that it was not going to be launched, others indicated that it was. There were tests in all of them, but none were official. And this new internal document from Samsung would confirm again that the flagship of the South Korean company will not update to Android 4.4 KitKat. It was reported by SamMobile, whose informant claims that the document is legitimate.
In the United States it will update
The document not only informs about the updates to Android 4.4 KitKat for several smartphones of the company. The Samsung Galaxy S3, whose model number is GT-I9300, is on the list, which confirms to us that the update was worked on, but was later canceled. In fact, they state this at the end of the document: "The GT-I9300 update has been canceled due to unsolved problems." However, it will update the Samsung Galaxy S3 with model number GT-I9305, the version that had 4G LTE connectivity. In the United States the version with 4G was sold, but in Spain the International version with 3G was sold. The United States version has a 2 GB RAM, and the International version has a 1 GB RAM, that could have been decisive.
Is it possible that there are still changes?
However, nothing should lead us to believe that this is a definitive confirmation of the cancellation of the update release. The same informant who has sent the information to SamMobile, has also indicated that Google has pressured Samsung to update the Samsung Galaxy S4.4 to Android 3 KitKat, given that when the company launched the new version, the smartphone had not yet been 18 months in the market. the market. In theory, Google cannot force any company to update a smartphone. But we do know that Google may demand some actions from Samsung after having assisted the South Korean company in the lawsuit against Apple.

Hello, I am from Vodafone and in Spain it brought the GT-I9305, so I hope it updates because I get caught one and I do not intend to change it.
A chavon in Spain appeared to update it. Has the samsung galaxy 3 gt i9300
I am currently downloading a new update. What will it be, will it be?
🙁 hopefully send it soon
Yes hopefully
Well although the image says April 25, 2014, we may hope they will resume the update on the i9300 model!
It sucks SAMSUNG. So they don't update it because they don't know how to fix the errors? HAHAHA but what are they telling us. But what the fuck is it that they don't know how to fix it?
If they are not going to update it, do not say anything from the beginning because the same thing always happens. They say it and in the end it is canceled, and for that do not say anything. What a disgusting company that doesn't even know how to fix some shitty bugs.
On May 1 I received via ota an android update notice to kitkat version 4.4, I downloaded and installed it and to my surprise at the end of the update I saw that it was again version 4.3 that I had already installed in December. but with the difference that now my battery lasts less than half than before. bravo for samsung
The update that has recently come out in Spain is a minor update of 4.3
Solve version 4.3 Sometimes it turns off and turns on until the samsung sign and turns off until it turns on again it takes a few minutes and the state of the low battery quick mallet please fix the defects of 4.3 if you still are not going to sakar the kitkat
And another thing I say; If they did not know how to do 4.3 well, they did it full of errors. Imagine 4.4, maybe we have to thank him and everything. Samsung shit ...

It is about stopping buying Samsung terminals, I have already hit it twice 1 with the nexus and now with the s3 in short, my next mobile will not be Samsung
How are they not going to update the S3 that they think the phone is cheap or what? I bought it because an anigo told me that the android update was going to make the cell phone better but what a disappointment ...
Hello, I have received an update notification. he has
downloaded the data pack and then asked me if I wanted to reboot.
I have accepted, and after the typical starting image of the GTI9300, it returns me
the android doll will appear on a green bar that is filling in and at the
reach 25% or 26% the doll falls with a signal of attention on it and
restart again. This process takes more than an hour repeating itself, I have not
tried to do anything with the phone.
CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME ? PLEASE !
