its actually a good headline if it means more people dont blindly install that abomination of the android OS that samsung farted out to their customers.
A company that can spend so much on marketing cant afford better devs than the amateur hobby-devs who have been giving us perfect 4.3 for months now!

i TOTALLY agree with that comment. I dont want a buggy ota update but the 2nd paragraph of your comment speaks to my reason for posting that pic, i am astonished a 40-50+ billion, BILLION $ company who can push out a galaxy s4, a smart watch and a note 3 all in like 6 mos of eachother but cant get a OTA right for a phone they were boasting and bragging about 12 months ago. how would that inspire me to buy a s4? a year from now they wont give a shit about the s4.
Exactly mate. This was my first samsung (other than a Galaxy Europa [bad] that i had to use for a month) and im pretty sure itl be my last. I have zero loyalty to them. I dont even use samsung firmware anymore lol. Im going between an amazing 4.3.1 rom and a nearly (getting there) perfect kitkat rom.
I dont respect samsung one bit. Theres a few things theyve done to cause that but #1 for me is probably the infamous Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) bug in the international s3 that it took them long enough to admit.
I really love the s3. with a good custom rom on it and totally disconnected from the whole samsung thing, its still a beast of a phone and judging by these pathetic updates its lucky the s3 is SO easily hackable the s4 isnt so lucky
Well its good they didn't just continue to push it :banghead: That would have caused headaches on here for months. Nobody checks before taking an OTA, only after when they're having problems
I will never take an official OTA after the 2.3 "gingerbread" mess that rolled out for the HTC EVO 4G years ago. I'd rather wait (actually it's usually earlier) and get a debloated custom ROM than wait for any official OTA.
It's the same for any smartphone. The manufacturer won't support the phone when the next iteration is out. Just buy a Nexus and be in piece for 18 months at least.
Also, Apple screwed too by updating the iPhone 4 to iOS 7, which made it basically a brick slower than crappy low end Android phones.
