It seems like all the other major GS3 carriers have gotten updates which alter the google search function, but they all also got new radio/modem updates.
I wouldnt mind a radio update. Any thoughts/ideas when and if tmobile will get a similar update?
Hopefully when the really important updates come along like jb we're not last in line as well.
t-mobile sgs3 stock rom/rooted

You mean the slider in notification area? Did we ever had it in the first place?

The update brings it from the gs2. The other gs3 models now have it.

Not the same experience as stock imo. Some don't like cm such as myself.

So I think its pretty obvious we will get an update to strip the search funcationality, but i wonder why the other carriers did it so fast (considering the issues with apple now) and Tmobile gets away with being allowed to wait
I'm not complaining I like everything the way it is right now. I like the search bar and am not hoping for an update to remove it. The brightness thing doesn't bother me that much as I keep it at almost max most of the time.
Some updates I do want to see though are of course Jellybean, and maybe if it's possible an update to improve 4G and WiFi connections.

Well I just got another gs3 the 32gb and gave the 16gb to my wife, the one I got 7/6/12 from the t-mobile store. And to me with the updated sticker on the box I've noticed that the battery life and data speeds has improved can you guys confirm from the pic that is the update build # or is this the old build number and I still need to wait to get the new one.

That's different than mine. Does the slider status bar work if auto brightness is off?

Doesn't matter 16/32. Mine is a 32 and says the same as yours.
anyone else have a phone with this updated software? And if this really exist, what is preventing Tmobile from pushing it out the rest of us?

I have uvlg1 as well. Received my warranty replacement today and it had the "new firmware" label on it. Haven't noticed any difference myself between the two.

Someone will dump their stock rom/radios on xda for the devs to disect and add whatever fixes Samsung has updated to their roms bro. Just be chill.

Sir yes sir.
And will the same thing happen when the official jellly bean comes out for the s three?
Ive read all over the internet that the OTA update for the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 is a leaked version...so when does the REAL official update get released??
No one knows for sure, not even Samsung. It was said to be 8/29 which obviously didn't happen. Now they're saying possibly this month. But who knows.. these things change all the time. My guess is about a week before the iPhone 5 hits.... cynical? Perhaps...

I live down the street from T-Mo headquarters here in Bellevue, WA, and I have a couple of friends that work in the dev department and they said within the next week. Before the iPhone5 announcement is actually a very very good guess.
Seeing as we have had a couple of decent leaks, the last one being pretty stable, it shouldn't be too much longer.
No one not even Samsung or Tmobile knows when its going to drop.

Figured I would post this, didnt see a thread on it yet. (Other then rumors and so)
Wonder when we can get some good official custom roms then. =D
Damn its about time, I've been wondering if they were going to get away from the leak updates and put out the official release. Thanks for posting.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
They say October for the unlocked S3 variants. I bet it will be at least Christmas time before we see anything from T-Mobile.
Seeing as we already have a couple of leaks and the last one was pretty well polished I would not be surprised if the official update got leaked ahead of the October timeframe.
Awesome find. Although it was kind of a given that the JB OTA would be coming soon, considering how smooth and almost perfect LI3 is.
Kudos to Sammy and Tmobile for making this happen!

It doesn't say October is for unlocked S3 variants, it does say it's likely unlocked ones will get it first. You also have to take into consideration that website is just an unofficial blog filled with rumors.

I'll still bet $20 that we won't see an official JB release until the holidays. Between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I am willing to bet you those $20, I can assure you we will see it at around the same amount of time as the international version.

Yea i don't think they will either, hopefully it won't take weeks to get and will be the first batch. Hell they should atlease turn our 4G on. 3 weeks ago it turns on for about 10 minutes when I was at gulfcoast hospital but speeds were around .3 mbps, not good. Since then, nothing anywhere.

Is lj7 really the official Jelly Bean update? I've saw that the build numbers were just a little different with the official with palj7 and the leak is pblj7. Some people saying they just changed the number, nothing was actually changed or fixed
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Possibly A would be a test build before B and they liked A better or something. Who knows.

it has nothing to do with your geographical location...it's more based on when you got your phone....I got all the other OTA's immedietly before..but i exchanged my phone and now it comes a week after it is announced
I drive a truck cross country and have been all over the west coast in the last 2 days no update here yet either
Ill let yall know if i get it
I agree with the last guy dobt think location makes any difference

Guys go over to general chat, theres like 3 different links to the official OTA update. Download it onto your SD Card, then go into your recovery, and update via external hard drive.

Colombia appears to be the soak test.
I would wait for a proper update before flashing as there are already several issues with the existing update.
