Samsung Breaks Silence About Galaxy S3 4.3 Update Problems

After a new update was Android 4.3 updated was released for the Galaxy S3, it was quickly pulled as many bugs were reported and then afterwards Samsung was oddly silent with no word on the subject being addressed. From randomly freezing handsets, Bluetooth audio issues, battery drain, WiFi issues and lost calls the update was more fail than anything else.

• Random Freezing
• Huge battery drain
• Bluetooth Audio issues during playback in car
• Stuttering music playback with stock Samsung music app
• Device freezes as soon a call is received (Black screen issue)
• Poor RAM management (very difficult to multitask)
• Wi-Fi issues

The folks at Sammobile were able to get an official statement from Samsung as to just what exactly happened with this update, but regardless of reason the update was not at all in the best interests of their giant world-wide user base who experienced nothing but problems with release 4.3. See below what Samsung had to say on the matter.

“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.” 

So basically a blow off to their consumers with no answer in sight as to the why this happened as well as no new official date as to when and if the new update will even be released. Being a Samsung owner I hope that they make the fix pretty quick and get Android 4.3 back on track and working. For now all us Samsung users can do is sit and wait. This is a very strange move for Samsung a company that is usually a bit more forthcoming about their products and updates. Thanks for reading have a great Monday everybody.
