I was hoping to have multi-view feature on JB update (4.1.1). I would love to have it on my i747m.

This is for 4.1.2? (yes)
I just wanted to ask that so the search function of this forum picks it up. In case anyone searches for firmware version before making a post.
Thanks for posting the news OP.

We just had a leak for ICS. So if anything it will be ICS. And don't expect official jb for about 2-3 months after international gets it. At&t is really slow with it.

Here's a quick Youtube video of the new Galaxy S3 update that will trickle out eventually for US carriers. This should answer most of your questions. It's only available for International as of now:

[Q] AT&T Note 2 and multitask?

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to buy one (off contract...sigh) but want to make sure I know what I'm getting.
There seems to be conflicting information in multitasking on the US Note 2's.
I know when it was released, there was no multitask, but that a recent software update enabled such "premium" features.
However in reading some threads on this forum, it seems that some people are using custom roms because they can't multitask?
Has AT&T phones not officially have this update yet?
Thanks for any info!
MultiWindow? Yes, its available on stock.
G●Note~2 {Jedi X5}
No it is not available on stock AT&T yet. Several of the devs have ported the International rom which gives you the multi window capability.

This will apparently be a feature tomorrow 12/27/12 according to Engadget.

Samsung Galaxy sII X t989 (Telus) Jellybean update?

Hi, we have waited a long time for this update and most of us are getting fed up. Telus set a estimated release date for around the end of December 2012. Is there a known reason why this update is getting so delyed? Im very curious why its been almost a month over then it was said to come out. Theres isnt a jellybean 4.1 touchwiz rom out there that I know of. I have tried most of the jedi jelly roms and some skyrocket ports all of them have problems.

If anyone knows anything about this or a good rom your comment is greatly appreciated thanks

And OP please the read the Forum Rules on posting in the correct section.
i've only had my phone for a month now aand have been on a custom rom since dayy 1. just keep testing out all of the roms, even the ones that are not touchwz based and soon enough youll find a rom that works for you..... the only big difference feature wise with the latest j bean are the lockscreen and the notification drawer. you ain't missing out much with what we have right now

[Q] 4.1.2 update missing premium suite and more

I just got the 4.1.2 update on my galaxy s3 today and well its really not an update the only thing i got was the Group Play App..No premium suite, no split screen multitasking, or any of the other things that were supposed to be in this update. Has anyone else had this problem? I called Sprint and they said they couldnt help me...(no shock there). I dont know whether or not I should hard reset my phone or what. Any suggestions or what not would be greatly appreciated.
Sprint Galaxy S 3
Model # SPH-L710
Android Version 4.1.2
Baseband L710VPBMA6
The 4.1.2 update for Sprint does not include the Premium Suite update. I think I read somewher that they don't plan on realeasing the update in the US until after the S4 comes out. But take that with a grain of salt.
This update is 4.1.2 it's just an update of the current 4.1 JB. It is not 4.2 what your thinking of is 4.2 JB which is what Google has released already for the Nexus devices in its AOSP version. I'm sure as stated previously Samsung is holding off and working on that for a future S4 device. What this update is a bug fixer, and some ground work for when actual 4.2 is updated to the S3.

He is referring to the 4.1.2 update that was released in Europe with the Premium Suite (multi-window.. other things I didn't care to remember LOL). Who knows when we'll get 4.2.. My estimate is probably end of summer or beginning of fall so hopefully like sometime in September

Should I upgrade to S4 or not?

I have the S3, and S4's 441 ppi Screen is tempting me, but won't our GS3, have those features through a ROM? So should I upgrade or not?
Probably not. Unless you want Touchwiz running on the latest and greatest android build the GS4 is probably not the best way to go if you already have a GS3. Not to mention all those new features will be gone the minute you flash an aosp ROM. So YES if you want Toichwiz on the latest android version (4.2.2) but NO if you're an aosp guy or if you can handle waiting for the new features to be released on the GS3.

If in fact our tmobile s3 do not have an LTE radio then I myself might switch. I currently have the note 2 as well and I'm not 100% happy with either phones.

hmm feel like not worth to upgrade it
too few improvement
S4 is too much like the note 2.
Only plus for me is the quad core.

I'll be upgrading to an S4, without replacing my existing S3 phone.
Outside the 1080P display, the TV remote and some biometric sensors, I'll have the same phone!
Samsung has already been quoted as releasing the software apps that do not require specific S4 hardware for the S3 and Note II. Look for it later this year.
Well if you're getting it for development don't count on many also Roms as cm team have already mentioned that they are not supporting the gs4. :/
