In light of major technical problems, Samsung has officially stated that it's pulled the Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update from the air.

This isn't the first time we've heard of this — reports began flooding in that the Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 rollout had bene suspended as early as Nov. 12. Still, this is the first official comment Samsung has made on the matter, and it finally puts to rest the question of what has happened to the Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 update.

According to one Facebook user by the name of Matt Smith, Samsung Mobile UK sent him the following message:

"Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Support.

As you can see, Samsung provides no new release time frame, and it's now clear why certain Galaxy S3s still haven't received the update. Expect Samsung to roll out a fix as soon as possible since Android 4.3 brings Bluetooth 4.0 LE support, a necessity for full connectivity with the Galaxy Gear smartwatch.
