Wait!

It's not an official Samsung update

That explains that then.

I can recommend Slimroms though... none of the Samsung crap installed, just a nice clean Android install with the option to un-install any system apps you don't use.

Been using it for over 6 months without any issues.

To be honest, I am only just getting used to putting Magic Lantern onto my Canon DSLR camera... I might not tempt fate by accidently bricking my S3.

Have no idea. Wouldn't care if it existed to be honest.

Each to their own. I like the idea that you can remotely lock your device and wipe it if it gets lost or stolen, though.

I doubt that the s4 will get 4.4, but I hear the S5 may get 64-bit processor and more memory. Not sure if thay is a good or bad thing at the moment.

The S4 Play edition will come out about the same time as the N4 and N10 releases. Samsung haven't confirmed a 4.4 release date for the S4 yet but have said that it will do one.

Had 4.3 for so long I can't remember when I got it, I'm supposed to be getting 4.4 in a few weeks

Device manager is part of Google play services not the Android OS so most Android phones will have it (although it might need to be enabled)

But not all versions of Android take the latest play store, do they? As far as I know, my wife's Desire doesn't have it, but I may be wrong.

There was a recent update to Play which switched it off, so if you are using it, make sure that the latest update didn't disable it.

Does your wife know you're posting about her desire in a public forum?
