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?

Rumors say Q4/early 2013 for jelly bean

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.

Hmm when is the s4 coming out?

That is a plausible answer

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.

from what i read it will not resemble the smoothness the gnex jellybean has and look like there's not to much to be excited about. Appy geek app for all the info and video of the official jb I'm not impressed.

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.

November 2011-July 2012 = 8 months. Really 7 since VZW didn't get gnex till December. Two thirds your quote.

Dec 2010 to Nov 2011 = 11 months. Less than half your quote.
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?

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

I miss my Amaze. That being said... it is taking some time for me to have the S3 feel like an extension of myself. The way my Amaze did. I honestly don't miss this phone when I leave it at home or in the car. Plus the whole issue with not being able to move apps to the external sd (grrrr)!
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Yeah, the question wasn't if it's cooler, it was if it's worth it.
I mean, don't be blind, you add so and so money and you get less than so and so value. That was my intention. To tell the truth.
It is cooler, but it's more breakable, my phone has similar features, bla bla bla.
Don't get all "Appley" on me but with Samsung, it's also wrong to be blinded by one company... Even if it's not Apple...
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app

Absolutely I think its worth it! I was skeptical because I loved my old htc, but I am so glad I moved up to the GS3.
If it were me looking for a new device, I would check out the Note 2 before making a decision. I think itll be out soon.

Moved to the S3 from the s2, and I'm loving it, and my sister got my old phone. Wins for both of us.

YES! Im coming from an S2 that was running Jedi Mind tricks rom, and i loved it, but my S3 was pretty much perfect out the box. havent had a problem yet which is why im not in any rush to root and throw a rom on it yet.

Can't go wrong with this phone!
Apsolutely worth it. The S3 is the best smarty phone I've ever had! I just paid $177. to have my screen repaired after I dropped and cracked it. I love this device. Love it.
Did I mention how much I love it?

Well I came from the Gnex and I really like this phone. Touchwiz wasn't too bad but I needed that AOSP back. After flashing Paranoid Android I'm loving this phone a little more than my Gnex. It was with the switch to me. Don't get me wrong though, having the nexus was awesome!

+1. Got the S3 and slapped ParanoidAndroid on it with faux's Ultimate kernel. Hybrid mode on the size of this screen is wonderful. With the dual core S4, and PA with faux's kernel, I can't think of a better phone to have right now.

Galaxy s3 or Galaxy Nexus

I have somebody offering to trade a new Nexus plus 100 for my Galaxy s3. I don't know much about the nexus so could somebody point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Thanks for the the sight on the nexus. But in your opinion which is the better phone for medium user. Surfing the web, text, YouTube and email. Battery life means a lot can't get around a charge for most of the day.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

for a medium user... battery life is best.. so s3

Never used a nexus, so i couldn't objectively compare battery life. But i get moderate to good use daily from my s3. For example, today I've got almost 5hrs if screen time, but a lot of that is on wifi, only a small amount of mobiledata and an hour and a half phone of calls

SIII
SIII is better IMO. my GF have the Nexus and it is a great phone, but to me the SIII is more phone.

I am just unsure my wife has a galaxy note and when I was comparing my s3 opens apps faster but when I hit the home button hers is fast at getting back to the home screen. Could there be something wrong with my s3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium

I'd say keep your SIII. The hardware is more powerful plus like paniro already mentioned you can root it and install cm10 or AOKP on it and you have stock android but with the more powerful hardware. Plus if you ever want to go back to stock Touchwiz you can still do so.

that is because it's waiting for a second press to initiate s voice, it's totally normal. You use to be able to fix this by disabling s voice but I don't think it works anymore (don't quote me on that). there are apps that allow you to re map keys and I think this circumvents the lag "issue" but it doesn't bother me so I never tried it.
Op- keep the s3, the only thing nexus had going for it is jb... which we unofficially have now.

Keep your s3....We will see a new nexus later this year anyway.

Yeah people always wanting new update. But in my opinion even from ics to jelly bean it wasn't a big deal, but more battery drain. The big change is going to come when 5.0 arrives.

Project butter also brought huge battery drain. More importantly with a dual core 1.5 ghz I expect this phone to perform fast with any operating system, Just like any other high spec phone.

Maybe so touch wiz Sucks but still these phones are advance and all but battery still remain behind its kinda like a afterthought. I don't worry much about battery because you can always get another one but I'm just saying most of the high end phones are really bad with drainage. Maybe in the future we can go for a whole a day without having to charge at least once. Those days with flip phones it could go for a whole week without charging lol.

Or we just won't get them at all.
Samsung has a well established track record of stating that a phone will get such and such, but then never releasing anything. Or if they do release it it's half-assed.

Samsung has said that they'll update the Note 2 and Galaxy S3 with all of the software features from the S4 that aren't restricted by hardware. I'm pretty sure we'll get a lot of things, but it won't be until the initial sales rush of the S4 is done.
