So when is 4.3 officially released?

Still on 4.2.2 but know people that have 4.3 already.

I'm on Orange.

It's being released now but nothing for the UK. I suspect that as usual we'll be at the back of the queue.

still not got the 4.3 update on my s4 yet ??? do they do it in stages or is it down to the carrier

They've done unbranded and Vodafone so it is just a matter of waiting. You could tries KIES.

Anyone getting a security message (An application attempting to access system on my device without authorization) popping up since the 4.3 update?

It's just that you now have the KNOX bootloader after updating.

It's coming from Knox Notification Manager 1.0 when wifi comes on.

Do a long press on the notification and will tell you which app.

+ blurring unless ABSOLUTELY still = missing image stabilisation.

If there is one thing flaw with this phone it's this. Unless the S5 has a considerable improvement in this area then I won't be considering one.

4.4.2 leaked firmware with screenshots.

At last, hope the wait for the official doesn't go on for months.

Cosimo · 13 Jan 2014 at 12:15

KitKat rolling out to GN3 in Poland so we shouldn't be too far behind.

Cosimo · 23 Jan 2014 at 08:57

Just had a 16.28mb stability update from Samsung. It appears to be a KNOX update:

Yup, I've just had this on my unbranded version. Though my "SE For Android Status" is at _0014

Mine was on _0014 before this update.

Does this update stop the lag on the S4?

I've not noticed lag on mine and this is a security update.
