Samsung has recently confirmed the suspension of the Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 update following its introduction earlier this month due to a couple of bugs.

Weeks after starting the rollout of Android 4.3 OS update for the Galaxy S3, Samsung stopped due to a couple of complaints such as increased battery drain, random freezing and not working Wi-Fi. The problems even went as far as preventing some apps from straight out working.

Having been rolled out a couple of weeks ago, bringing a number of new features to the Samsung Galaxy S4 predecessor, a bunch of consumer complaints prompted Samsung to react and halt the rollout of the latest Jelly Bean OS update.

As a matter of fact, far from the user standard teething problems, the Android 4.3 Samsung Galaxy S3 update has seen a mass of high-profile issues introduced, with users reporting everything from random handset freezing and Wi-Fi issues to severe battery drain. All these issues were never reported prior to the most anticipated software release.

Currently, Samsung has already acknowledged the issue, with an official spokesperson for the Korean manufacturer revealing the S3's Android 4.3 update has now been pulled.

"As we are currently investigating the reported issues with Galaxy S3 4.3 Jelly Bean update, the upgrading service has been temporarily suspended," Samsung stated. They added: "We are committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience, and will ensure to resume the upgrading service at the earliest possibility."

Although there are some problems reported that are associated with the software update such as freezing during incoming calls and disrupted music playback, the issues have not been reported on the Android 4.3 update introduced to the Galaxy S4.

Those who have not already made the jump to Android 4.3 now face an indefinite wait to add the new features especially after the reports that suggest that Samsung could have rushed the Android update to market in order to add Samsung Galaxy Gear compatibility to the S3.

Since the Jelly Bean OS update has been pulled out of Samsung's servers as well as KIES, users will not be able to get it until the Korean company finally releases a bug-fixed version of the Jelly Bean OS update.
