Does anybody know when we'll start getting S4 functions?

[mikes1]

I'm on Verizon US so my guess is I'll be last but the news I heard a long time ago was that the update would be ready by July...so far I have seen nothing. Has anybody heard anything? I think it would be 4.2.2

The update for the international version has been moved to November or December. The US version would be several months after. There is a rumor that they may skip 4.2.2 and go straight to 4.3.

Theres rumours now that samsung are gona hold back until 5.0 KLP before giving the s3 a rom update
What s4 features would you like?

There are many S4 based ROM's available based on the leaked 4.2.2, check out xda developers.

i would like to have the same camera features as the S4. well the editing part so to say.any ideas?

The North American updates for the S3 or so slow, that I'm thinking it's time to get into the custom ROMs and leaked updates. I've tried to avoid them for a year, but the delay between the international updates and updates here is ridiculous.

Blame the carriers bro :beer:
If it makes you feel better, rom development for the US s3s is very strong :thumbup:
