Android 4.2 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm making this thread to see if people think we will get the new Android 4.2 on the sprint S3. I hope we do. I know we just got 4.1 but with all this talk about 4.2 I am already getting anxious. Lol

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?

based upon the newest leaked info 4.2 is still jellybean meaning it should be easy to update

I've read different things on this too... some are saying 4.2 will just be an upgraded jellybean and key lime pie will be 5.0 and others are saying 4.2 will be key lime pie.

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.

I think they will they are trying to get more customers and keep more if its 16 months than I'll have a new phone by than and hope it will come stock with
4.2. I hope the S4 does come with it because that is my next phone. I will never own anything els I love the Galaxy S series
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

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.

I'm sure the S3 will continue to get updates for awhile longer. Its not like the HTC phones that get released and don't get any updates lol. Even if there are no other updates I can't ever see myself getting bored with this phone.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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!

Doubt "one day later" is really "been out much longer than", but yeah I wanna ***** and whine, too. I was hoping since the Intl. version had been out "much longer than" the TMO version, that we'd get the latest and greatest firmware with it included. Major let down on that front, but the phone kicks ass regardless. At least, this is good news, because it means our phones won't take much longer to get updated...hopefully!
You could also complain "everyone else sells accessories for the Note 2 except TMO" which is irritating, by the way (I've done my own *****ing and whining about that, too)
Summary: "Well, it's not for us; not yet. But can't be far now..."
Those who wait get good things..doesn't matter of your first or last!

No you do t have to make a new page. They have a page where you go on THEIR support google plus page and post requests and comments and withon a couple minutes they post back a reply.

Just got the full confirmation from my Samsung mobile rep yesterday that sprint will be dropping the 4.2.2 firmware for the S3 in mid June. Anybody hear anything differently of can back up what he told me?
Edit: it's mid June and we've seen nothing yet lol *(clearly)*. Either my rep was mistaken on the ETA or the rumors are true about the delay for the S3 and the Note II. I apologize for the mixed information.

That would be cool and I wouldn't be surprised if Sprint did release it as they are pretty good with updates. But like someone said, the international version will probably get the update first.

This is great if it is true.
Interesting but history doesn't lie... usually international will get it then the US gets it months later. So I would not be surprised if you have been told false info.

I feel like quite a bit of people on XDA already are rooted and have a custom ROM that is already 4.2.2; is there a reason to unroot and go back to stock when 4.2.2 comes back?

No, check the thread in my sig (everything OTA)
Very common misconception

Right now only AOSP based Roms are on 4.2.2 for our phone. Some people like Touchwiz Roms better. You don't have to unroot. When OTA drops you can just flash a rooted version of the OTA update or other OTA based TW Roms when they update.

Is your Samsung contact actually from Samsung or just a 3rd party marketing partner like MarketStar or Marketsource?
MarketStar and Marketsource folks don't know squat.
This will be validated if we start seeing rdfs drop in the next couple of days as this has always been the cycle in the past.

All I know is that my note 2 is rooted but my wife's s3 is not and I still find myself using her phone all the time. It's a great phone and if it's updated to 4.2.2 that will definitely hold her off till her upgrade.
And like someone said, Sprint is getting better with updates, probably the best from the 4 major companies.

These samsung reps that travel from store to store know what they are talking about. I've gotten early ota's from them in the past.

Should prove to be interesting.

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.

By then I'll have the Note 3 myself! Oh well I guess.. I just wanted some of those promised S4 features.

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.

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.

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!!
