I got samsung galaxy s3 (i9300) which in specs and on the box says smart ready (4.0) however no BLE, I searched and read and all I came up with was that it is but google and samsung are not matching so it is in the hardware but the software does not enable it.
I might got it, but my main question is, did someone already enable it??? it's been out on the market for so long and it such a popular product, why is it not enabled yet? can anyone help please?
What? S3 has Bluetooth. Can you explain what is not working more deeply?

Bluetooth Low Energy comes with android version 4.3. I suppose its already integrated and your normal bluetooth works like BLE.
The S3 4.3 firmware uses the 4.0 Bluetooth (BLE). I have a Polar H7 sensor and is working fine after the upgrade to 4.3.

I have Samsung Galaxy S III and Nokia 603 (Belle) of my brother. I am on CM10.1 on my SGSIII, I tried NFC on my S3 with Nokia 603 but nothing happened on 603. S3 vibrated, beeped and even sent the image inward when I pressed on the image however nothing was going on with 603.
I even tried with stock ROM too but to no avail, so my question here is whether it's possible to get NFC working on Android with Symbian anyhow or it is impossible and if it's possible then what am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

I already have the HTC one which has both of these
But it's too big to carry running and I don't want it to get. Nicked
Aren't the phones you mentioned quite big?
There must be small phones running 4.3?

Hi,
i think you should really see the Sony Xperia L.
Runs 4.1 Jelly Bean , but there are even Custom Roms out based on Android 4.4 .
Xperia L has Bluetooth 4.0 and is very good looking

Xperia Go or Samsung Galaxy Gear (there is a Custom Rom for Galaxy Gear out which let you use the Galaxy Gear like a smartphone and does not require a Samsung Phone I would recommend Galaxy Gear since it is a nice looking watch for a good price for that was it does
Hi !
Are you still working on miui rom for galaxy pocket neo ? I have been running the miui rom on an older Xperia mini and it looks great !
It would be great to have it on samsung galaxy pocket neo too. I hope you have not given up yet.
I'm Brazilian and own a S5312B phone: have tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/pocket-neo/development/how-to-install-custom-rcovery-root-t2836581 but with no success (I don't know how to get temporary root in the phone, to use rashr)
Hello All,
I've heard from many sources (also official) about BLE availability on Android 4.3 (from software side) for Samsung S3, so just after last update of my phone I've just bought Sigma R1 HRM but... it doesn't work on ANY (I've tried five different) 4.3 ROM. Only CM ROM (4.3.1) could pair properly with this HRM. So this functionality was included in 4.3 or not? Maybe someone could help to pair BLE accessories with SGS3 4.3?
What's more interesting. my girlfriend's Xperia V could pair with Sigma on Android 4.1.2!!! I don't know how it is possible if it is one of key feature 4.3?
P.S. Just for info: Endomondo on Android cannot handle BT Smart, it is not connected with android version.
I'm new in Android world, and I have to buy cheapest Android phone that will be able to handle Android 4.4 or newer.
I have found that the best option is Galaxy S3 and that there's one on Aliexpress. I'm aware that it might be a clone but it will not be my primary phone. It just has to be able to handle newer Android.
Can't post a link, search for the top ordered Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 on Aliexpress.
Has anyone tried it? Will software see it as genuin S3? Thank you!
if it's a real i9300 then you are only able to upgrade via custom rom. Official support via samsung stopped at 4.3
If You need official KK (4.4), then You must search form S3 4G/LTE (9305). Basic S3 ended with 4.3 (as maultasche said).
This must be S3? If not, try search Moto E - it's cheap and small chance to buy fake one - in S3 (generally in Samsung phones) it quite ease to buy fake/copy when your search for cheap phone.
You are right, thank you! And I will check Moto E but what about S3 Neo?
S3 Neo has 4.4.
You can check every Samsung phone here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
Just type model name/code (S3 or 9301) and it will find all/latest version of firmware.
It you want a phone for calling/texting (and using in general), you should list your needs/requierements/max price and ask what to choice - XDA probably has a place for it.
If you want a phone for testing/development Android apps, you should think about Motorola/Nexus or some new models with offical long support (ie Xperia family).
I just need a >4.5" phone for general use, with at least 4.4 (to use with smart watches and bands). With as low cost as possible. Galaxy S3 Neo is my leader now.
I don't know where I You from, what models ara in your country and in what prices, so it's hard to suggest any model.
I suggest You to use some kind of price comparation site (in our country), choice your requierements and list devices. Then choice what you like (what looks nice to You) and has a good price.
Then paste list of interesting devices.
For example there are couple of cheap models named "Core" or "Grand" (from Samsung) with screen size obove 4.5 inch and new Android.
Downsides are: not so "strong" CPU/GPU (for games) and lack of light sensor - it shoudn't be a issue as You want to use smartwatch anyway.
In my opinion s3 is best choice As long as there is ANY chance to get some cm (official/ unofficial)

You can upgrade it even to marshmallow why KitKat?
As we are expecting the official cm to release tomorrow so I think that s3 is the best choice. And if you just like touchwiz s3 has 4.4.4 ports from touchwiz and you can install them. But I recommend you to install lollipop 5.1.1 rom if you buy a s3 device. You chose the best device if you want any help on how to flash these roms just reply my post.

Samsung galaxy S10 ( SM-G9730 ) china update to Android 10 receive app Samsung FM Radio
information:
https://doc.samsungmobile.com/SM-G9730/CHC/doc.html
Hmmmmm. I'm curious on this. AFAIK none of the recent S-Series features Radio FM chip (don't know why, it is a inexpensive chip and easy to implement, IMO), so don't know for what that app would serve, unless it features internet radio.
Mine is a G973F EU spec. Meanwhile I use the Open Radio app from the Play Store. It is small, easy to use, convenient, ad-free.
Cheers!
EU vrsions on Exynos does not have fm chip, Snapdragon does. You will Find every station in internet streaming form on numerous apps - “tunein” for example. Sound is a lot better on FM then streaming so if you have Snappdragon device you can try next radio which use fm chip.
