Develop Bugs

[Q] thederekjay

First off dam he busy and does great work, my question is why is he still working on a at&t rom when we now have a tmobile. I see he has 3 roms going at the same time, some carzy **** I think he suffers from insomnia or is just that good and quick. He just updated a buggy at&t leaked rom he made and not the tmobile one. Just curious if anyone has a answer didnt want to clutter up dev section.

He created the two separate threads (one for Tmobile leaks and one for att leaks) Because the att leaks are generally further developed, meaning its more stable and the att leak is 4.0.4 vs 4.0.3 for the Tmobile leak. However, the Tmobile leak has functioning wifi calling and the quickpanel toggles, which are a big deal so he created the two separate threads. Both the art and Tmobile leaks have their draws and flaws so that's why he's not ignoring one for the other.

Thank You makes sense.

Really the buggy at&t rom seems to run better for me than the tmobile one since his last update.. really not very buggy

Try correction on his name.. respect the man...

I did it in short format, I think he is well enough known, to know who I'm referring to, but to appease you I will change it. Also if I did not respect the man I would not donate to him. I think I have given enough praise for his hard work.

at first was buggy and needed patches to fix this or that , that the t mobile release had built in working. Lol to each his own but at least I learned something today.

I would just let him work like he wants to work.

Still good news. Sooner that is done the closer we will be to getting it here.

I'm going to guess ATT will launch JB in late September. Hopefully the process will flow faster since recently taking heat,and pointing the finger at Google for being slow to push updates.

I remember it took AT&T months to put out the gingerbread update for my infuse. The last leak from samsung was I believe 3 or 4 months before official rom came out and it was the exact same rom.

If you are on xda the leak is when the rom is released, who cares about official at&t release.
I had froyo and gingerbread on my captivate months before at&t got their act together.

I don't think AT&T would release that as they don't want to mess with iPhone 5 roll out and steal that thunder. However the smart thing is for Samsung to push the crap out of this and put pressure on all carriers to release JB before iPhone 5 comes out.

my pessimistic prognosis
is it will be next year for AT&T SGS3 JB. Based on Cappy expreience. Then KrispyCream in 2014.

With an official or leaked release of 4.1 of s3, will that improve the "original dev" section with faster development since the developers will have access to drivers they didn't before?

I think the carriers will defintiely slow the process down. However, I really don't think it will take as long as it did going from GB to ICS for SGS2 variants. If you recall, some SGS2 Variants in US and Canada just got their ICS around the same time SGS3 was released (LOL). But the upgrade from ICS to Jellybean is fairly small and I know that Google and Samsung (as well as other manufacturers) are trying to make updates a ltitle more timely than they have been in the past. Whether or not this will hold true is yet to be seen. However, seeing that there is already a leak for i9300 so soon shows me that Samsung is making more of an effort. I don't recall the ICS leaks for my i9100 coming out this soon

I'd be surprised if AT&T even releases JB for the Galaxy S3. Doing that would only benefit the customer, and it is strictly against AT&T's policy to do anything that might benefit the end user.
I'd say there is a 90% chance we will all be stuck with ICS unless we root and flash our own JB custom ROM's. AT&T doesn't care if you use ICS. Hell, 98% of people with the Galaxy S3 in the United States don't even know what ICS and Jellybean are, and they couldn't care less as long as the phone functions.

You get an A+ for positivity, but unfortunately, you're giving the carriers too much credit, especially AT&T. In the end, Samsung pushing out updates in a timely manner is as useful as rubber lips on a woodpecker because the frigging carriers are guaranteed to slow sh*t down so they can bloat the software up to their liking.

Our SG3 will upgrade to Jelly Bean 4.1 in October

We have both european SG3 as well as US-ATT SG3 models. Our EU carrier has notified the 4.0.4 version will be updated to 4.1 next month, Oct 2012.
What is the published US-ATT schedule for update from 4.0.4 to 4.1 ?

You think that a&t

I gave up the wait in September and switched from ICS to JB based off the TMO and Sprint leaks. Even with the bugs and random issues, I like it and don't really want to switch back. Now I have to impatiently wait for an official release so the rest of the bugs are worked out.

Too many of you have ADD....The phone has only been out since June/July ...Im riding the stock rom till JB comes out, which I will bet will be November. After that I can mess with custom roms, but for now, too many bugs and TW is not bad, on JB I figure it will be even better so will hang with it till I get bored. You guys that already jump around from rom to rom are the type to ditch the S3 when the Notes 2 is out or when the S4 is out in June/July next year anyways.
I will admit I am ready for JB though already.

I disagree, I like TW enough. But I feel I have more control over my device without it using another launcher. I doubt I will go to the Note 2, 4.8" is pretty big - but I went with this phone over the original Note because the 5.3" was a little awkward. I won't upgrade to the S4 next year either. I'm not going to pay full price. Just because I jump around from ROM to ROM doesn't necessarily translate to jumping around from one phone to the next.
As for JB, I'm glad to be running it. It's pretty smooth.

I understand this is a completely biased statement as I only have one perspective on the subject, but as an AOKP JB user since i got the GS3 (about a month) I have not run into any real issue with bugs, instability, or anything otherwise not expected from a stock ROM. Anyone who is 'waiting' on JB has already missed their ride, although there are hourly shuttles to catch you up with the rest of us....hop aboard.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.2 Jelly Bean Update Gets Stamp Of Approval
http://www.autoomobile.com/news/samsung-galaxy-s3-android-42-jelly-bean-update-3/10011064/

Honestly, I remember back in the Epic 4G days when Samsung had the reputation that they did not support their devices, but it appears they've changed their attitude and now they're releasing updates like mad, even more efficiently than HTC is (at least for CDMA-based devices.)
If this is true, then the Samsung devs in charge of CDMA development will start porting it over to our devices. Perhaps we'll see RDFs in the next few days?

Very interesting... I'll be following this thread closely.

I had an Epic as well and it seemed like Samfirmware was our only hope. I share your sentiments and look forward to any changes Samsung is willing to make with regards to device updates.

I'm from the OG Epic as well (from its release to the s3 release); It is really refreshing to see them pushing out the updates for this phone!!

I too am from the OG Epic. People continuously blamed Samsung for the slow updates for it when in reality rdfs were being generated and test releases sent to Sprint almost daily and within weeks of the international update. I think the less intrusive touchwiz allows for faster updating. So hopefully we will see some rdfs reported soon.

Also a fellow OG Epic user ... boy I miss that phone (still drooling over that keyboard), but also love my GSIII. Nice to have the OG Epic family reunited here. If Samsung releases a 4.2 update for the GSIII in the near future, I'll take back all the bad things I said about them

hah what are the chances that 4.2 gets released before the s4 marketing train comes rolling through town

That's because this phone is available for all major carriers. The Epic was only for Sprint thus Samsung relied on Sprint to advertise who decided to push the Evo instead.

Android 4.3 instead of 4.2.2

It seems Samsung may have decided to skip 4.2.2 entirely according to the article I linked below.The S4 will still get the update although you won't see it until mid August. On other news a new Note II has been spotted in Antutu sporting a Snapdragon 600, hopefully available to the US with Tri-band support.......

I picked up N4 and it certainly isn't a big jump to 4.3 from what you have in 4.2.2
Its just a lot harder to follow through all the threads something because it has a much bigger base of users, plus it's hard to know what you can and can't flash compared to our phone.

4.3 runs smoother in terms of scrolling smoothness and lag...and at least for AOSP ROMs the battery life is much better.
There are the other little feature blings. But as Android system upgrades go it is kind of minor.
