When will sprint get Jelly Bean update for GS3?

Just wondering when sprint is going to push the Jelly Bean update to the GS3. I have a friend who got it a couple weeks ago on T-Mobile. Also anybody in the STL area know when we're going to get LTE from Sprint. And how to change Mobile Network to LTE. I have it set to CDMA/LTE I guess that if it's on LTE it will say 4G instead of 3G?

Rumors say Q4/early 2013 for jelly bean

To my knowledge no galaxy s3 has gotten the official jelly bean update, i don't think the international had gotten it, and i know no US variation has gotten the official update.
Everything that's it had been out are leaks or ports.

Hmm when is the s4 coming out?

That is a plausible answer

I have come to the SIII from an EVO 3D. With all of this talk about when jellybean will come out reminds me of ics for the 3d. So knowing sprint and how history repeats itself, get comfortable folks. It will a while. Not being pessimistic, just realistic to sprints delay habits. Took them greater than 8 months for ics once promised.

from what i read it will not resemble the smoothness the gnex jellybean has and look like there's not to much to be excited about. Appy geek app for all the info and video of the official jb I'm not impressed.

You probably have few media files.Put some avi,mkv,mp3,ogg files and you most likely will.
Google "Ics Media Scanner" and see how many people have this problem,not just on our s3 but on every android phone running ics.
Oh and consider yourself lucky,you might not have it now but but it doesnt mean you want get it later.

Yeah i know i got one,lol.That was short compared to og Epic which took almost 2 years to update to gb and its still on gb.
I think i like my Epic Touch little more than my S3 but its crippled because my son threw it in the toilet,so i let him have it,it just needs to be pluged in but everything still works.

From what I'm seeing from the developers, the Sprint Samsung Galaxy s3 will have a functional (not official) jelly bean rom very soon. In fact, it seems they are very very close. The only things that are not working yet are screen rotation, mms, and some browser issues. Seeing how quickly every other issue has been resolved, I wouldn't be surprised to see a working jb rom this week.

Dec 2010 to Nov 2011 = 11 months. Less than half your quote.
Not saying your point isn't valid but you don't do the argument any favors with such hyperbole.

The code differences between jb and ics are much smaller than gb to ics. They'd better have JB out before end of year. No excuse otherwise

Thanks for the answer guys. Not looking for a rom really since I haven't rooted my S3, yet... When I for my OG Evo I immediately rooted and flashed. It really needed to run better though. I stock sense for the OG Evo sacked. It was laggy and such. But so far. My S3 has been running like a top. Don't see a reason to root and flash, flash yet..... Although being able to tether for free would come in handy. BTW answered the LTE part of my initial question. No news on that one either huh?

Project Roadrunner? 4.2

Has anybody heard of this? I did a quick lazy glance here and didn't see it posted so I thought I would. Looks pretty amazing with new features and improving Gnow and improved battery life for Android users. Of course the main concern is in order for us to experience we might have to switch phones or of course wait on our devs to do their amazing work. Thoughts??

To be honest I have no idea if I will but if it's still holding up I might be. Either way I'll probably still own it and use it for a backup! Unless It's lost or breaks I don't replace my phone every year.. I got mine in March which makes it only about 7 months since I first bought it

Lol I know what you mean. But this s2 isn't just any phone, it was built for things beyond what it came with. All I'm saying is if you want this new OS then of course Nexus will be the phone of choice not Samsung and etc. But this phone is good for 2 years in my opinion. I'm also cheap and don't switch phones every few months or every year lol

Your point? We all have to move on at some point. By the time this phone gets 4.2 we'll have some really amazing devices on the market that will make this phone seem like it was from the stone age. Just like this phone makes that HD2 seem like its from the stone age. Idk how people are still using that thing. That snapdragon CPU was a boat compared to other SoCs like hummingbird during its time.

I think my next one will be a nexus.. There should be some nice ones coming out soon..
I was thinking.. I'm sure that the galaxy Nexus is a shoe in to get 4.2 and if it can handle the software I am sure that this phone can too!.. It's unlike that tmobile will put in the resources to update this phone after JB but it might be a slim possibility.. Especially since we will have the option whether or not to have OEM skins

Officially I don't think this phone is getting past ICS. I have high doubts about an official TW JB update for it. Only the international GSII has been officially confirmed. As we all know that phone and every other GSII has the exynos SoC so I wouldn't doubt the others can get it easily. But since we have the s3.. idk.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

And I just wanna state that it's obvious that Google is listening to what people want and trying to add it to software updates! We have all been talking about how nice it would be if we had a choice of AOSP or OEM.. And voila! Google goes ahead and appears to be implementing it!.. This is totally opposite of other mobile operating systems (not naming names) that always hold back the features... This is why I will probably stay loyal to android for a long time!

Also... I think I read something about multiple Nexus devices on their way? Very exciting!

Yes I've heard of at least 2 nexus devices!.. An LG nexus device will be released by the end of October..The name Samsung Nexus 2 has been thrown around a bit. and I think there will be one by HTC as well..

It'll happen, but it'll definitely be on AOSP first before you see it on tw roms. AOSP already has 4.1.2, like AOKP roms.

That's what I figured it will probably be like 6-8 months maybe longer before witch I'm good with. I hope the S4 comes out before to be hones. Lol. I'll be picking that up when it comes out. If I have the funs?

Its only required to get updates for 18 months after launch date. Considering sprints track record, we'll probably get an update right before that 18 month period and that'll be it. They did surprise me with this update however. Very timely and first of the US carriers. Hopefully they keep this kind of support up.

Considering that 4.2 is just an update to jelly bean and not the next version (key lime pie or whatever they end up calling it), I think we will get an official update. Sprint seemed to get some good PR out of being the first to release JB, so hopefully they'll continue the practice.

Well, it's goodbye!!!

With a heavy heart I am here to confess I am leaving the world of Vivow... :crying: The waiting game for updates and empty promises from HTC and Verizon both, I have made this decision to sell my Incredible 2 and never look back. With that said, I am also saying farewell to HTC completely. Not enough backing of their current lineup in my opinion. I shouldn't have to upgrade to the latest phone just to get the new build of Sense or latest build of Android. I should also not have to depend on community developers to get what I want. Oh well, it's time to cut the strings.
Dev's.. from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you all for giving us your personal time and effort into developing fun, useful, and up-to-date roms that just make us flash-aholics happy!! You will never be forgotten!!
So long!!:highfive::highfive:

Ah.. those issues if I remember were ROM related.. The phone has always been 100% using stock or CM7/9 ... but it's very picky about what other roms I use.. very strange device I have.. but un-rooted and stock it will be good as new.. cosmetically just a few blemishes and only one 1/4" scratch on the screen... not bad for having it and using it almost non-stop for almost 2 years now.. I have it on eBay but I'm thinking of pulling it.. almost 40 views already and 3 watchers.. unless that grows I'll probably yank it.. maybe.. I don't know..

Already got that liquid smooth 4.2.1 on the nexus
Honestly, I think the best way to go would be an unlocked gsm nexus device because Verizon screws even nexus owners with updates. The gsm version already has official 4.2.1 yet us toro (vzw) owners only have official 4.1.1 and have to rely on custom roms for 4.2.1

I've honestly been thinking about dropping Verizon, going pre-paid, and getting an unlocked phone.

Looks like no 4.2.2 for a while.

I guess anyone that had high hopes we were getting it soon should reconsider lowering their hopes. And to top it off we don't know how long Sprint will take once it is out so it might be a even a longer wait! :banghead:

Cool. But not everybody is a flashaholic and wants to install custom roms every minute to see what works and what doesn't or what's better on battery. I don't flash roms and haven't done so since the OG Epic with the keyboard.. I don't find it necessary as it was years ago. I like stock rooted and being able to take OTA updates.

Well they said postponed. I'm not sure but the note 3 will be out what Oct or Nov? I doubt it will take that long. Hope so anyway.

So we're getting the new TW with 4.22 down the line?

Yep

I think IMO we might see it in about a month or two. At least I hope Sprint is real good about putting out the updates and from what I heard at work they are working on it for the Note 2 and the S3

Sprint and samsung do a very good job with phone updates imo. It could always be worse, remember the g2x situation lol.

Cool. But not everybody is a flashaholic and wants to install custom roms every minute to see what works and what doesn't or what's better on battery. I don't flash roms and haven't done so since the OG Epic with the keyboard.. I don't find it necessary as it was years ago. I like stock rooted and being able to take OTA updates.

i might be new to this site, but i'm not new to these devices and I agree...no flashaholic here. Its pointless to keep going around and round the rom tree when something new is going to come out next year and i'll be switiching my device again.

I love my Note 2, but this is why my next phone will likely be a Nexus. For a lot of people, having the most up to date OS is not that important, but I like have the latest and greatest. I do like to flash ROMs and do so often, but sometimes I don't want to have to do that.

maybe when they have a nexus with a 5.5 inch screen.

Incremental updates are overrated and IMO I feel I ain't missing much now.. If so Ill just flash an aosp rom with 4.2.2. to satisfy the feeling of being left out.

That's why I only buy Asus tablets!! They are a superb manufacturer at releasing updates! It's been on my Asus Infinity for a while now!!
