Just a rumor, but glad to hear that at least it's a possibility.

With 4.3 just coming out I won't get my hopes up. Though I am enjoying 4.4.2 on PA BETA 3 so there's that.
This almost always refers to the international unlocked version and has zero impact on when/if the US carriers (Verizon) will update it. Nothing to see here.

Ports are a possibility, as limited as they are. I figure that we'll see it eventually. When is not paramount, I'm patient.
Noted
I remember seeing something on Android Central about April 2014 showing up on a spreadsheet. With this rumour, I'm more and more hopefully that they will be true.
Cant wait to see the differences in the theme although i will still likely run Beans rom over all!
Wow this is exciting news!

After the knox stuff. I am in no rush to upgrade.
I will wait.
Some more substance to this but more than likely these are for international or GSM versions of the phone, no specifics to US carriers. Indeed VZW will be dead-last to get anything like this but thank God we have the developer community to port/develop ROMs for them eventually!

I'm hopeful but won't hold my breath for a verizon version. I was using Beans' rom then moved to CM 4.4 to see what I was missing.
So you will see a update around July!

AT&T never release official date on updates. In rare case they did, they typically blew it. For example, AT&T promised GB update for Captivate last fall. It ended up released in Feb., 2012.
PCWorld Australia says by the end of March, and Eldar Murtazin from Mobile-Review.com said rollouts are supposedly beginning March 1.

Bummer! Whatever I'm satisfied with what I've got!
Samsung's Update and ATT update timelines are completely different. The i7000 will probably get it April time frame. Don't hold your breath for a carrier update.
We will be looking for custom roms well before ATT.
When it comes out for the international version, any chance those can be modified by devs to work with the lte version? With a working camera lol

Not likely at all, otherwise we would already have a million roms ported over from the N7000 forum.

I actually thought it meant, "Our original ICS version had at least 1 major bug that we discovered when testing in real-world situations and we aren't going to release it until it is ready for everyone."
Of course, they could have also meant, "At least one of our 'content partners' (who are paying big bucks to get their advertisement disguised as an application inserted into our release) hasn't actually sent in their app yet and we aren't going to release it until it is monefied for everyone."
LOL im so surprised people are surprised by lack of updates from telus/rogers/bell
we may get most phones before the usa, but we pay for it with our carriers holding back updates

throw on one of the highly debloated roms in the dev section based off LE2 leak.

I don't like AOSP ROMs, I was using OnlyOne HYFR B4, and it still has those AT&T things in Wi-Fi settings, and carrier name on the status bar.
Actually they were not big deal but it had some kind of bug, when I try installing an app from APK file, I can click "Cancel" but I can't click "Install".
So, I will be staying on rooted stock Gingerbread ROM with the holoNote kernel and wait for official ICS from TELUS.

Gnex is ICS out of the box.
@JamieD81, we're in the same boat with bricked N7000's. I bought another N7000 with a cracked screen just for the motherboard, since the only place to get N7000's fixed is in Europe. Plus I went thru 3 mainboards on my I9000M. I still buy Sammie's crap, but I'm being a little more careful about flashing roms now. I'm waiting until the official rom is released, and played with enough before I throw my i717 on the line this time.

Maybe Verizon is starting to realize they're assholes and trying to remedy the situtation?
Nah, it's Verizon, they'll always be assholes.

I Will Believe When It Is Downloading
I've been thru this so many times with so many phones thru Verizon. I now only believe when it is downloading.
It sounds so pessimistic but that what they have done to us.
So for me seeing is believing.
Sorry to be so pessimistic
Not going to happen. I'm a pessimist too and I am nearly willing to bet this will not happen on 10/28. I think we should bug the hell out of verizon though....pointing them to this leak to make sure it gets out ASAP.

IIRC GPE later then 4.2.2 (or what ever the current one that works on safestrap) uses a different kernal then the regular touchwiz and will not work until kexec is developed.
Though hopefully 4.3 does come out soon, I get the feeling that having a new update to android that cannot be installed w/o a new kernal will help push kexec along...
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2
I think the 10/28 date is when Samsung is submitting the 4.3 update to Verizon to review and approve. It makes no sense that Verizon would update first out of all of the US carriers based on their past history.
Look at the rest of the S4 and S3 dates, most of them are slated for mid to late November, which seems more likely for a Verizon release. The other carriers don't really have a reviewal process like Verizon does to my knowledge, so they get the update and just push it to devices almost immediately. Therefore, Samsung built our version of 4.3 first and is submitting it earlier so that all of its devices get 4.3 around the same time.
Of course, I could be completely wrong and Verizon is releasing the 4.3 update on Monday. I won't complain if they do
I wonder how many of you will say lol woot when you download the update on 28th or 29th whatever the date is
I'm not getting a woody over this atm. It will likely be so locked down as mentioned that safestrap & roms will be out of the question for who knows how long. I'll stick to the customizations that I have now via ME7 & safestrap/Hyperdrive Rom.
Updates to me are useless until at least root can be obtained.

The people on all forums about the VZW S4 are a very small number of VZW users. Almost all people will not get a new phone until their current plan is up. Therefore the S5 coming out is irrelevant to when KitKat is released. The majority of people will update to KK when it's pushed and most have never heard of it, let alone care.
VZW taking longer also means Samsung has worked out some bugs in their initial releases. Bloatware doesn't have much to do with it, IMO, most apps are tweaked to work with new software fairly quick.

This is getting annoying. 4.3 update fixed none of the issues or bugs really.... and then they make the flagship phone wait for kitkat.

VZW has been known to only care about the brand new phones. I had a HTC Droid Incredible 2 and at the time the Inc series was their flagship, but the Dinc2 was still 3g. ICS was getting put on everything and they had their lists out showing what would and wouldn't and our Dinc2's were on the confirmed list just never received nothing . VZW passed blame to HTC and of course HTC passed it right back to VZW. Then about 6 months or so later or so VZW comes out and says our old flagship isnt gettin ICS at all, stated communication errors with just that phone. Wouldnt even release source for it. Now if it was the 4g model, which was the Incredible S, we would've had ICS and source. I dont trust VZW as far as updates and they'll probably state same excuse and offer us a discounted S5 or a free upgrade to switch our plan totally and for us to pay more in about 4 months. If KK drops just be amazed if we get passed 4.4.2. this phone probably wont see 4.4.3
