When they show a new statue it usually means the release is imminent, been like this before.
It's a new name, I think it will include new features: "It's our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody. "... Maybe it's made for smartwatches, Google Glass oriented devices?

So, that basically means that Samsung will scrap 4.3, like they scrapped 4.2 for their older devices (S3, etc.) and just start working on 4.4 for the S4.

Here's more from Twitter: https://twitter.com/KITKAT/status/374934929412337664/photo/1

So much for Kie lime pie, well kitkat does sound better

KitKat sounds great

It's a name!
I personally don't care what they call it, I'm more excited for the chance of winning a Nexus 7 and/or google play credit from the specially marked kitkats!

sooo this was Google and Nestle's love child.. Not sure if I like the name

Interesting...

So this probably means the S2, S3, and S4 won't see Android 4.3 at all. Meh, Nexus 5 is right around the corner.

1 billion android activations, damn that's a lot

So when can we expect Android 4.4/ Nexus 5? October? November?

We get 4.3 around November or December & some of the features from the Note III, same as the S3 got some of the features from the Note II.
4.4 KitKat we not see on the S4 until after the S5 is launched in Spring i can bet you my socks on it

Thank god we have S4 Google Edition! We will be able to flash KitKat at launch.

Doubt the S4 will ever see 4.4 (considering S3 is still stuck on 4.1.2). Gonna stick to Nexus devices in the future.

Really!? Seems more likely we'll get both 4.3 (which is probably close to finished) and 4.4.

Because the one that leaked the leak should be to blame.
'Leak' sure. If a company wanted to keep a tight leash on their stuff, they can do so without a doubt. It's less of a leak more of a preview. If it does get leaked, you can be sure that Google will be monitoring it to know what the XDA community and other dev communities say about it. Same with the Nexus 5 lovely photo cameo during the KitKat reveal.
I'd like to test the leak

I want the leak offen the person who first leaked it then I'll leak it on here

Statusbar problem after update to 4.3

Hi,
And yes I tried to find any other similar posts.
I recently updated my galaxy s3 to Android 4.3. Successful and it runs really smooth.
But in my Statusbar the "eye-symbol" from the smart stay feature is always visible.
I guess I just need to clear the data & cache of this system app. But I can't figure out which system app it is!
Can somebody help me out?

You just asked that in the Galaxy 3 (not S3) forum.

Oh damn I'm sorry, thanks for letting me know

Verizon Galaxy S6 root?

Sorry in advance, I couldn't find a definite answer. Some say it can be rooted and others say it can't. So can a Verizon Galaxy S6 edge be rooted? Model number is SM-G950U and it is on software version 8.0.0. If it can be rooted, what is the best method?
Edit: what is the latest software version that can be rooted? I can keep it at 8 but if I can update it and root I would like to do that
Android 8.0.0???
Really on a S6?

It's an old phone so that's the update it was on when I got my new S10+. So I figured why not root it if I can.
I never heard of an official oreo relese for a s6.
On a 920 i can only find android 7...
Btw g950 = S8 not S6!!!

Edit: I do have an s6 edge. I don't remember the firmware version but if that's rootable for Verizon I can try that too ??*??*
I'm sorry, my bad ??*
