Samsung will update US Galaxy S III devices to Jelly Bean 'in the coming months'

We won't get jellybean until the note 2 releases and is out for a while. I wouldn't expect jellybean until November or December

I place the blame for this squarely on T-Mobile. Anyway, CM10 is great!

Okay..... its the same case for other oems. Why blame one carrier wheb they all go through the same process of pushing out updates. Complaints about updates are getting old here. Cant wait a few months? Is your phone unusable now as it stands?

here's another site.

This happens in every phones forum. Everyone gets sooooo mad that phone manufacturer's don't release immediate software updates for already released phones because for SOME STRANGE REASON, they ACTUALLY want you to buy their new devices. People need patience

Question for all you experienced custom ROM installers: is there a custom JB rom in the wild that has everything working? I've been thinking about JB since it came out, and now I am reading that it might be another few months before we have the official T-Mobile version. I am finally tempted to root and do a custom rom.
So, is there a fully working, stable Cyogen Mod 10 out there? I am not interested in nightly builds. I would just like the experience one gets from a Nexus phone that is running vanilla JB.
Thanks!!

I say T-Mobile because the article is specifically referencing them. I've gone through all of the recent roms created by great devs like DJIntrigue which seem to be quite ready for prime time so it doesn't make much sense that there needs to be more "months" for a final release. We're not talking usability here as I assume most of us root our devices but it would be great to have faster availability of the latest Android firmware in case we wanted to run that.

The problem is carriers want to add in their own apps and "test" the update for compatibility with their networks...not to mention the majority of users aren't text savvy (or rooted, for that matter) and the carrier doesn't want to be flooded with "I updated mai fone and it's no worky no mo'" calls....
We may want faster availability, the carriers want people to pay upgrade fees (and/or buy devices outright) and less headaches....

Dj's and Wild's jb roms are fairly heavily modified. The leaks they are based on are still buggy and horrible on battery life.
I for one would much rather wait a few more months and get a solid release.
Besides, I'm willing to bet that most who are getting impatient waiting for the official release will wind up going back to custom roms within a couple of days anyway.
Plus, with how good Frosty and XquiziT are, you could pretend its based of the official release and be just as happy! (If I wanted to blame anyone it'd be them for raising the bar and forcing Tmobile and Sammy back to development!)
I honestly don't get all the impatience. With how hyped some folks are getting over it I can only see them being disappointed! Then we get to read all about how lame Sammy and Tmobile are for not taking the time to make it better!

Who cares JB isnt a big update over ICS anyways. I have a i9300 and the official JB update is weak. if youve used Frosty Jb you wont see a big difference

Blame tmo samsung sent the update 3 weeks ago smh
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Three weeks ago and no leak?

No leaks anymore from samsung period! For any device.
It'd have to be leaked from tmobile for us to get it now.
That's how I understand it anyway. If you follow the build versions, there would've probably been about 9 other leaks by now, had they kept their systems up like they were.
(Last leak was LI8, new ota is LIJ) 9 builds in between. Also I'm guessing the jb update must not actually be ready. (Maybe they found something they didn't like)
They seem to be doing what I expected with having another official ICS update before JB.
I could be wrong of course. Time will tell.

I think that could be right seeing as this is a tiny update in general.

Here we go again...
Please, don't create expectations or start rumours about possible ETA's.
You've seen it with the 4.1.1 update, carriers can hold up the process undefinitely if they feel like it no matter the "size" of the said update.

I read about this last night too. There's no way of knowing when or if we will ever see this officially. Just as European S3's got the multi-window already it's up to the carriers. I'm sure they'll find some way to get it in a custom rom on here when its out.

We'll probably have the Galaxy S4 before this update even arrives..

What does this have to do with this thread???

Sounds interesting but I wouldn't get my hopes up for a release any time soon.

I'll go w/ my original guess of January 17th.

I'll go with my guess of A LONG TIME FROM NOW. Carriers are usually like hey, we just sent out an update a month ago, why send another one now? Let's wait for pigs to fly.

So far, it would just be the international i9300 version in Poland or the UK.
Nothing for the i747 yet. You will still have to wait a few weeks for the leak.
I've been toying with the idea of changing the CSC on my phone to trick Samsung Kies to download it to my phone.

it's much more complicated than just the APKs. you need the modified jar files as well, which will boot loop a Us Gs3. search for the GS2 tutorial on how to run multiwindow to see how complicated it really is. in theory, it is possible to modify the jellybean us GS3 files to get it all running on our phones. but, it will take some talent.

Not really too sure but it should be soon. Maybe within the first month of next year? the note just got it and we should soon follow. Its not easy either because there are a lot of updating that needs to be done and they test everything so it takes time. It will be some time before we get 4.2 and by that time, google will probably have released another OS in google IO. Ill be real, JB is great on these devices, i actually want google to slow down the updates so that manufacturers can somewhat catch up to the latest one in updateing capable devices and then move on forward. Also you have to look at the fact that they well you your S3, they make money. zthe already worked ICS onto it and were paid for ICS and the S3. when they have to develop and work on JB, Thats on their own money and time. But yeah, im getting off margin here. I belive that the s3 can probably see one more update after 4.2. after that, well it will be pointless as the GS5 may be in the horizon which aint bad. After my s3, ill probably go for the GS5 if im not too compelled by the note 3 lol

Once the OTA update hits The east coast of USA or where ever it hits first, someone will upload the stock file! I herd it was suppost to hit Poland Dec 21, 2012

I just bought mine yesterday and the update was available when I get home with it.

Use BetterBatteryStats to determine what's the cause of bad battery life. I had problems when I first updated - found out it was Google Now trying to use GPS all the time for the most part. They really ought to tell people about that and make it more clear since many don't seem to realise what's going on.
I know that the eBay app is also a battery hog, but I can't part with it.

I'm happy to have JB...I was on ICS previous with the HTC One S (long story but good ending). My question with 4.1.2.....will it come with Photo Sphere camera app? I'm completely stock unrooted...not ever going to root...so don't even tell me to root please.

Haha this is comical good one... well from what I know 4.2 obviously international markets would get it first(maybe they already have it?) Maybe someone can chime in on this. Since these updates take so long I bet most carriers are just skipping 4.1.2 and go straight to 4.2 next year. Consider most US carriers just got 4.1 lol
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

The only devices that have 4.2 is Nexus devices at the moment. They always get stuff as soon as it is announced because they are pure google devices. 4.1.2 is incremental and the international Note 2 already has it. 4.2 is still some time away bro. I mean you can flash a CM10.1 ROM and that literally is 4.2, but it is missing all the Samsung packages. Samsung's actual 4.2 official release is still far off. Expect to see it leaked before the OTA hits.

My bad....I posted that very early in the morning....I confused 4.1.2 with 4.2. Still hope we get photo sphere at some point though. Never understand why carriers get rid of some features.

I've had 4.1.1 now for a few weeks and I do not see the buttery-ness of jelly bean at all that everyone is talking about. I actually notice some severe lag whenever I use the keyboard. Anything from typing in text messages and searching in the browser makes the keys sticky as can be
Where is my butter!

So is T-Mobile late on a update?

I know you guys are saying that maybe T-Mobile is waiting for 4.2 update and not 4.1.2 reality is that we dont know. Well Sprint just released another 4.1.2 update with premium suits MD4 to be exact. When the S4 is recently out for Sprint they release this update. One thing I though that US variants will never see an official premium suit update. I though it was meant for quad-core or Exynos. Anyways I have noticed that T-Mobile been pushing updates for our S3 every 2 months. Last update was in January and now is May thats 4 months in compare to the past of 2 months.
I know this is another thread about that. But we may soon see another OTA or who knows we may have to wait more months. Anyways I attached a picture so you can see what im talking about.

Do you think is a waste? I mean there is no difference in releasing 4.1.2 and then 4.2 later when is done.
They prolly already been testing the 4.1.2 since its been out for other phones way before. It doesnt hurt em to release it and then release 4.2 when its ready for them to test and approve it.

I highly doubt our S3's with ever see an official 4.2 update from T-Mobile.

You really think that Samsung won't push a 4.2 update? The S3 is their best competition to people flocking to the HTC One instead of the S4 - I bet it gets an update.
As for 4.1.2, I just don't see the point in releasing a 4.1.2 update but you're probably right, they'll drop 4.1.2 and keep us there until January.

Oh yes we will see 4.2!! Look at the S2 it got 4.1.2 and it was a gingerbread phone! the S2 is the only old phone that tmobile have that released 4.1.2. I remember back when the Amaze came out it was about the same time that the S2 did. The Amaze got ICS and that it. Loot at it this way. The HTC ONE S doesnt have JB yet and the S2 does.

Since the 4.1.2 has been out for so long I bet ya samsung has probably gave to tmobile to test already. And then release 4.2.
When its ready. Sure wish my friend were still working with tmobile. He used to get this updates to test. I remember back with my G2X not after a month it was out my friend got one with GB to test.

T-mobile is not releasing 4.1.2 to us because they feel it is not really a major update (it eeally isn't, only with the premium suite). The carriers are charged for these updates, they don't come free. We would have got 4.1.2 along with the s2 if they were going to. Now 4.2 comes with major updates that no one can deny so they will release it because they know it will be an appriciated and much more noticeable update then 4.1.1 to 4.1.2.

Yeah apparently all carriers have to pay for these updates. I believe is mostly for the bloatware and extra carrier modifications each carrier wants implemented into their version of the OS.

I'd be very surprised if ATT released 4.3 before the i9300 got it... Usually there is about a 6 month or more difference between the i9300 and the US s3's in terms of updates.

And if they do throw one more at us, it wont be 4.3 cuz they just don't keep them updated that close to what the actual current version is. Prolly 4.2 will be the last if any at all. I hope I'm wrong, but their track record does speak for itself.

Samsung said that there will be no 4.2 for the S3 just 4.3
Obviously, there will also be no 4.3 for the S3 until after it's been released for the flagship S4

Do you have articles to back up this claim? Or just your wild speculation?

Both of these reference the i9300 (i9305), not our phone...
The first article is supposedly an insider tip from a Deutsche Telekom employee: "The Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 have been rumored to skip the Android 4.2.2 and get Google’s latest Android update instead, although Samsung is yet to confirm it. An Australian carrier (Telstra), answering to questions about the Galaxy Note 2 updates, has also hinted that the device will go straight to Android 4.3"
The second article also mentions the same DT employee and is talking about the i9300 for DT networks.
Your 1st comment said Samsung confirmed it and they have not.
Not trying to **** in anyone's Cheerio's but like most things involving US carriers, I'll believe it when I see it...

This, we know. What I'm trying to explain to everyone in another thread is that support for the US variants died after the release of 4.1.2
We should consider ourselves lucky if we get 4.3 (officially) at any point.
Samsung doesn't need to confirm anything that the US carriers choose to do with the 4.2/4.3 source code (if they ever do get it). I'm still convinced that carriers are only interested in selling new flagship devices.

I agree with your last sentence - it's almost criminal the way US carriers act towards this.

It wuold be awesome if AT&T release the update promptly, but, I think it's gonna have to wait.
I mean, we were the last ones to get the premium suite :C

^^^This is the joke of the day.
I'm now getting bored of the Premium Suite as I thought that I would have wanted all those fancy features when they first release.
Now, I'm trying to find a stock AOSP 4.3 ROM to flash. My only reason for staying with this is the fact that I need to use Samsung KIES as I'm a MAC user and have no other way of using MTP to transfer files to my device.
