Does anyone have any kind of update on this? Is there any release schedule for 4.3 or 4.4?
The S4A is now 2 releases out of date and Samsung are still leaving their users in the dark.
Such a bad decision to get the active because it's so badly supported.

I heard somewhere that was problems with 4.3 and they go straight to 4.4.2. Cant find it again. Samsung i dont like this, we payed almost same price like S4 and we become much worse support.
from S4 Active Blue Ocean

Another month - still nothing. Anyone heard any news?

Slimbeam ported 4.3 is available. Running it as daily

What do you think guys? Could samsung update our Note too? Or the incomplete and horrible battery optimized "official" jelly bean was the last update?. I think the last update will be Key Lime Pie, then the Cyannogen team will keep our phone alive for some time...
Sorry my bad english!
I guess there's no way we will see that update. I really hope im wrong, but we can thank god for having jellybean, knowing samsung...

And if we are lucky to see that update from Samsung on our Galaxy Note, then it will be after the Galaxy Note 3 is out.
I'm pretty sure on that.
Or it can be the same as with 4.0.3 and 4.0.4
We all know that 4.0.3 was like "beta" but 4.0.4 solved the issue. Let's home that our new 4.0.4 will be 4.2.1
I'm actually still trying to get a full working JB update on my phone (some laggs, etc... compared to a LG Optimus L9 which I got of my contract yesterday my Note with 4.1 seems to be working on Froyo... And the LG is on ****ing 4.0 on which my Note seemed to be on 1.0 compared to that speed... Why can't Samsung just do it right like LG? Actually trying to sell the LG though^^)
But I surely hope that we will se 4.2 on our Note. 5.0 Would be pretty amazing for Samsung... If the Note 1 gets 5.0 I will wait to buy a new phone. My plans were to buy the Note 3. But if my Note gets 5.0 I see no reason why... I love 16:10, 5.3", etc... 16:9 just sucks imho...
But if we think about it, it is already amazing that the S2 and even the old S1 (Advanced) got some Beans... Maybe it is not impossible for the Note to get at least one major update like 4.2... I'm really excited to see what Google will show us on the I/O about Android 5...
Oh, No. For God's sake, Not again.

Google are supporting handset makers with 4.2.1 in a way they haven't with previous upgrades, so chances are slightly better than normal. I wonder if this has anything to do with 4.2.1 crippling most ad-blockers...
I heard galaxy note will skip 4.2.1 and jumps to 4.2.2 lol jk! even the nexus10 struggles to 4.2.2

Which is why "officially" you'll probably not see 5.0 on the Note1. Two reasons, hardware probably can't keep up, and the main reason, it
would go against their bottom line. They sell hardware, and if they keep adding features, making the original better, faster stronger, why would anyone bother to purchase a new one? Same thing for a carrier locked version. Keep it at the old level long enough, and when people come into a store complaining, push them into a new one, extend the contract, and do that over and over again.

Tx. V. T. Tl Android 5.0

Since Sony been releasing alot of devices and we still in begning of 2013 do you think that we going to be dropped like 2011 series or be delayed this long as xperia s users? Any idea or info for me im tottaly sure that our series was a flop for Sony uz they releasing a midrange series just few months after our series i dunno i just wanted a stable jellybean not buggy ics like what happened with last year flagship

Well maybe Sony is planning a 5.0 release but is not saying anything for now.
We have good CPU and 1GB of RAM. We don't have 4 cores and 2GB. SGS III has 4 cores and 1GB RAM too and it will be updated to 5.0.
Samsung announced 5.0 for some of its Galaxy devices. Some of them will stay at 4.2.2 and some of them will be updated to 5.0 for sure.
We have to wait. Some of us just received 4.1.2 and it's still full of bugs and glitches. Let Sony fix these problems first and then think about the possibility of receiving the update to next version.
I am not sure what you mean by v5.0

I'm saying this is too far fetched. We would never officially get 5.0. Sony if famous for releasing devices with outdated firmware. I mean the Z was released with 4.1 and still hasn't got 4.2. the GS3 got it on Feb. AFAIK
And currently that is their flagship. Not us
Also you can't blame Sony for their delayed releases because their firmware is so far away from pure AOSP. They do put a lot of work and themeing into it.
I hate those people proclaiming like Sony's CEO, that "Xperia T will never get Android 5.0" etc. This kind of bullcrap, one sided, motion, is pure nonsense and childish. Those people must be removed and banned from XDA.
And the Galaxy S3 did not receive the 4.2 update. Do not spread rumours to gain personal fame.

My sincere apologies for the s3 4.2 thing. My mistake. Regardless the Nexus 4 came out last November with 4.2. BUT sony released Z a month ago with only 4.1
And as for your other bull****. Try and get me banned will you? I am only being realistic. One sided? Buddy even I have Xperia T, so I'd love an update too

None. But I know about Sony release cycles. Hence I am deducing. I do not like false hope. But since you are so keen about it.

Leaked Release Date for 4.3

According to this article on Android Police, AT&T is scheduled to officially release 4.3 for the S4 Active on Christmas Eve (12/24). This is just a leaked schedule so take that with a grain of salt, it could be sooner but more than likely it will be later. If you would like to try out a leaked pre-release of 4.3 for the S4 Active you can download it from this thread. Just remember that if you flash the leaked version of 4.3 you probably won't be able to get updates when 4.3 is officially released as has happened in the past.

Lol 12/24 is 2 months out.... I been sitting on the AOSP thinking I only had to wait till the end of October to get on the official release..... Looks like I will be running the 4.3 leak now.... By the time 4.3 is official on the S4 Active it will be obsolete.... Sweet. Thanks
I'm normally not patient, but 4.3 Doesn't have anything that I have been chomping at the bit for, so I will call it a Christmas Present. Yay!

I'm not seeing anything on 4.3 that makes me want to upgrade either. I would be wary of the official update though because I'm almost positive there are going to be issues rooting it which would cause problems with SafeStrap. If SafeStrap ever gets kexec working I doubt I will ever accept an official update.
I'm not sure where exactly this guy got his information, but his post seems to suggest that taking the new 4.3 update will make rooting exponentially harder.

Yeah I have automatic updates disabled since I rooted the phone and will wait until some other rooted beta tester makes sure it works and doesn't break root.

Do you have a link to that? I can't seem to find that date anywhere. The closest thing I've been able to find is that the regular AT&T S4 is getting the 4.3 update on November 13th.

You need to search and read. It's one of the basic principles of XDA and you'll find people saying that over and over.
For example if you start reading this thread from the beginning you might find your answer.
Well not to be an ass, but this thread mentions three different dates. So the question may have been for clarification purposes.

[Q] What about ports from Note2 and Note3?

HI all,
So Samsung has decided that we won't get any more updates, which means no official 4.3 for us, which is a bit disappointing but can't say I was surprised.
However I was thinking, how come no one is porting the Samsung 4.3 firmware from Note2 or Note3 to our original Note? Would this even be possible and is it something that might happen in the near future?
Many thanks for your comments.

[Q] official samsung 4.4 firmware

Hi all. Just a quick question. With the latest from sammobile saying Samsung will release 4.4 kitkat to i9305's I was wondering if anyone knows a source to get the firmware. Also is anyone going to develope said firmware on xda for more useful stock based roms.
Just read an article online saying the firmware will roll out end of may/beginning of June.
So will there any developers willing to create stock based roms when this is finally released?
So its still not released yet. Anyone any info as to when its being released?
no info yet...i'm checking daily for 4.4
i check on http://samfirmware.com/
Nothing yet. I fear that even when Samsung release it that possibly each Network provider may need to test/add all their branding to it before it gets rolled out which will add even more time to the release.
Looking forward to it however.
not released yet, i'm also checking daily on sammobile.com
hello everybody
does anyone else get the feeling that samsung are just draging there heals for some reason.
what the reason is, is anyones guess.
its almost like they know that we are waiting for it and they dont want us to get it, because the people on here are doing a better job of creating a firmware than they are and they get paid to do it LMAO ROFL
dont you think it s funny
just my 2 cents
So I read that Samsung have pushed out 4.4 to american phones but still waiting for the international release. The mind boggles as to why this is taking so long!
Damn you Samsung. By the time this gets released I'll have upgraded to the note 4. . . probably.
