“As we are currently investigating the reported issues with Galaxy S3 4.3 Jelly Bean update, the upgrading service has been temporarily suspended. We are committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience, and will ensure to resume the upgrading service at the earliest possibility.” – Samsung Mobile UK
Issues Reported by Users
The issues reported by users were quite significant and varied. Random freezing of the handset was one of the most common complaints, making the device unreliable for daily use. Bluetooth audio issues were also prevalent, affecting users who rely on Bluetooth for hands-free calls or listening to music. Battery drain was another critical issue, with some users reporting that their battery life was significantly reduced after the update. Additionally, the device freezing on incoming calls was a major inconvenience, as it disrupted the primary function of the phone. WiFi connectivity issues further compounded the problems, making it difficult for users to stay connected to the internet.
Samsung’s Response and Future Updates
Samsung’s official statement indicates that they are taking these issues seriously and are working to resolve them as quickly as possible. However, they have not provided a specific timeline for when the update will be re-released. This has left many users in a state of uncertainty, as they are eager to receive the benefits of the Android 4.3 update without the accompanying issues.
The Android 4.3 update was expected to bring several new features and improvements to the Samsung Galaxy S3, including better performance, enhanced security, and new user interface elements. However, the bugs and issues have overshadowed these potential benefits, leading to frustration among users.
In the meantime, users are advised to remain patient and avoid manually installing the update from unofficial sources, as this could lead to further complications. Samsung is likely to conduct thorough testing before re-releasing the update to ensure that all issues have been resolved.
As yet Samsung have not given a specific date on when the update will be released again for the Samsung Galaxy S3, let’s hope it does not take them very long to fix the issues and release the Android 4.3 update for the handset.
