[Q] Samsung or Sprints fault?

As you know we dont have ics source yet for our phones :/
but other samsung phones like the GS2(AT&T) and the Note are already using ics.
So my question is, at this point, who is to blame for our ics not being released?
BTW, if im wrong about something, tell me cause im kinda new at this

Samsung controls the source code and the ROM.
Sprint only controls if we get OTA update.

Historically, update around 6 months after the new android is released is normal for sprint android phones. Takes longer for cdma phones because GSM gets worked on first due to the much larger user base

Could be that Samsung won't officially release ICS for the epic touch until S3 is out? The could be copying what HTC does for their devices. Release the update after a new model is launched.

Is it really that big of deal. We will still be getting ics before a lot of other devices and some devices that came out around the same time won't get it all. Samsung/sprint don't even need to release ics for this phone. I am just happy we will be getting it at all. It sounds like its very close anyways.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

There are good reasons why ICS hasn't gone OTA just yet... And in the end it will be a win for everyone. Those that have been working on addressing bugs and trying to ensure the major ones - like the "superbrick" or eMMC bug - are addressed before OTA are doing so in the hopes that our release is the best that it can be.
But don't take my word for it... Just look at the most recent threads in the General forum. You will see the effort that the XDA community, Samsung and Sprint have put in so far to have this roll out with as few issues as possible.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

I really dont understand why everyone is complaining so much about this ota update. Some variant of ics has been available for this phone for months. Its been fun to flash the leaks and try out various roms with a stable gb base to roll back to just in case. Samsung and Sprint could have dumped a decent ics leak on us several months ago but they decided to work it a bit more and give us some 4.0.4. If you want ics now then flash el22, its awfully nice.

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.

No word from Verizon. Have been running CM10 on CM nightlies .just reverted back to 4.0.4 in case they release this month. But if not I'll re-unlock and re-root and just wait for keylimepie. But hope to get it within the month or I'm done re-waiting for ota.

Verizon doesn't push the updates for Toro. Google does. Big Red does, however, need to sign off on the update prior to it rolling out, especially given that it will include new basebands. It also bears mentioning that Toro has, at times, been first to receive an update

Yes, that is correct. My point is, Verizon is the rate limiting step in the process, and if OP really wants Jelly Bean, then he might as well flash it himself. After all, isn't that the beauty of a Nexus?

Only custom rom that is running the leaked "customized" version of the verizon rom is thuderstick red Bull. It's a nice, verizon friendly rom

Only rom that is Verizon friendly? I've ran several roms. The toro roms work. Some have issues that some do not. Bugless beast works, so does CM nightlies. There are many flavors of jb just try and use the one that works for you. Its not a contest. Its your phone play, test, find the rom that works best for you. Saying one developer is better than the other. Its all user choice. And developers deserve appreciation its their work that make customizing possible.

I was speaking to vzw tech support today. Direct quote, almost verbatim : "I was just checking on the status of the software update that addresses the issues you're having with data connectivity. The reason it took so long is I was checking several third party websites. I wasn't able to find any information about a release date..."
This translates roughly to "I had to search Google, because Verizon is retarded. "

I never said that there is ONLY one Verizon Friendly rom out there, there's almost 100 of them that work perfectly fine. There's plenty of "toro" roms out there, but the specific question was stability and if he didn't want to veer too far away from Stock, while still maintaining a working set of Verizon apps. I use the Verizon apps as well, but it's always a manual process and when it breaks there's always a procedure.

I too like the Verizon data usage widget comes in handy. I totally agree that there are alot of roms that the app gave the log in issue before Verizon's gn update. But like I posted in other posts I reverted back to the k ota. But after today that sprint is updating today we will be soon to follow. So I will half fast for a week or 2 more before I never look back on OTA again. :banghead:

I was ticked for the slap in the face from Verizon. Letting Sprint beat our phones to JB. So I changed my mind on waiting for the ota. Loaded JRO03O. Seems solid and fast. More bars in radio than I ever had both WiFi and lte/cdma. I can say this my last damn contract!

I believe that they have said that they will in the past. howwever, there are at lease 3 different JB builds in the development stages. i am currently using the CM10. it is working well. there is also an AOSP and an AOKP builds also. So you have your choice If you want to root and go custom.

AOSP based builds, combined with ICS proprietary components ought to work pretty well... it's not like the GB to ICS jump, although some would disagree on that as wel..

Since the International versions are getting it, but it would be very lame if we didn't, but so I'm pretty sure we will. I the question is when, when. I got this phone the day it came out and will be able to upgrade in January for a small fee.

Anonymous Source: Samsung's AT&T GS3 Jelly Bean User Trials started in May and have been completed; we're just waiting on AT&T. The ROM should be in its final stages of testing soon.
Jelly Bean Version: Most likely 4.1 Before 11/28, chatter from multiple official AT&T sources stated 4.2 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) However, then AT&T quietly released the above Support Article, which stated 4.1.The Support Article is the most concrete evidence we have, so it will probably be Jelly Bean 4.1.
Confirmed Jelly Bean TouchWiz features:
Camera
New camera/camcorder filters: warm vintage, cold vintage, black and white, sepia, color highlights(blue, green, red/yellow), and many more.

Honestly I hope not. This is hurting sales for AT&T GS3s. Especially with the Note 2 coming with JB. Samsung has some control over when the update is pushed out, but just like with ICS they wanna make sure their newest phone sells before updating the previous model.
