It hasn’t been long since an official test build of Android 4.3 for Galaxy S3 was leaked online, this build was said to be quite similar to the one Samsung was due to publicly release. A few days after the leak, Samsung started to roll out Android 4.3 for international variants of the Galaxy S3, it was the very same build that had previously been leaked. The update roll out didn’t go so smoothly though, as numerous users who had updated their devices complained about issues caused after the update. As a result, Samsung halted the roll out. The company has said in a statement that it is currently investigating these issues.

The issues included reduced battery life, random device lockups, Wi-Fi connectivity issues and more. It is believed that Samsung might have rushed to get this update out the door, as it caught quite a few people by surprise when the update didn’t come with Samsung Knox security suite as initially promised. Samsung confirms that it has “temporarily suspended” the roll out and that the issues reported with the update are currently being investigated. No word as yet on when they’ll apply the required fixes and start rolling out Android 4.3 Jelly Bean once again for last year’s flagship smartphone. Its certainly a major update for Galaxy S3 owners, who’ve been waiting for quite a while to jump up from Android 4.1.2.

Late last month both Verizon and Sprint rolled out the Android 4.3 update for their variants of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and now its AT&T’s turn. That’s right, the AT&T Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 update has finally been released today. Samsung started rolling out the update to the international variant in mid-October, carrier branded variants usually have to wait a little longer. The update will no doubt please Galaxy S4 owners on AT&T, even though this isn’t the latest release, Android 4.4 KitKat has grabbed the spotlight now.

The AT&T Galaxy S4 Android 4.3 update brings a number of new features, including support for the Galaxy Gear smartwatch as well as the Samsung Knox enterprise security suite. The update, build JSS15J.1337UCUEMJ9, is a whopping 719 MB, so make sure you’re connected to a decent Wi-Fi network before downloading it. Since it is rolled out over the air, the update can be downloaded and installed on the device itself, no need to hook it up to a computer. Its best to update to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean right now, given the fact that it will take quite a while before Android 4.4 KitKat is released for Samsung’s flagship smartphone. Hopefully this release won’t be as bug-infested as Android 4.3 for Galaxy S3.

Earlier this month an official test build of the Android 4.3 update for Samsung Galaxy S3 was leaked online, it was said back then that the company was in the process of testing the update and ironing out bugs. A short while after the leak, Samsung started rolling out the same build for international variants of the Galaxy S3. It appears that there might be a few problems with said update, seeing as how most users who have installed it are now complaining about various issues. The issues seem to be quite major, users are noticing reduced battery life, performance lags, app crashes, Wi-Fi connection drops and even lockups of the device on the lockscreen which are only fixed by removing and reinserting the battery.

In light of all of these issues, it is possible that Samsung might have halted the rollout of Android 4.3 for Galaxy S3. Phones Review reports that the update was previously available for their device, but they initially ignored the notification to install it. They attempted updating today only to be told by the device that all of the latest updates are installed. Judging by this, it would be safe to assume that Samsung has halted the rollout. It wouldn’t come as a surprise if the same has been done with Android 4.3 for Galaxy Note 2, given the fact that both devices are almost identical in hardware and software. It would be best to hold off on updating the Galaxy S3 to Android 4.3 right now, even if you’re able to, until word from Samsung comes in.
