4.1.2 out for Verizon - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

http://briefmobile.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-update-4-1-2-now-available
Not going to lie... a little disappointed about what the update includes (or lacks) but what can you do. It is unfortunate that there is such a big gap in hardware between the North America model and the international s3.
I did hear that there were rumors that there would be one hardware model with different internal storage amounts for the s4. That right there would be a great reason to upgrade in my option.
Either way it's great to see an update and hopefully we will get a taste of some stock 4.1.2

I'm trying to learn how to port this over for the i747 without bricking it.

They didn't even add multiview as part of it?

I think this is processor dependent so that it doesn't affect device performance while multitasking.

Seems unlikely that Samsung would have a phone that could support all of the different LTE bands plus WCMDA and EV-DO and that the US carriers will allow Samsung to deliver a phone without crapware. Only Apple has that pull.

Screw retarded companies that work to only gain revenue. They turn a magnificent phone into ****. Just like a 4 year old i9000 galaxy s. Latest TW version is 2.3.3 latest XDA version is 4.2.2 screw Samsung, screw carriers.

I have an AT&T OTA being pushed to my phone RIGHT NOW?!?
I am on AT&T stock rooted 4.1.1 and looks like an OTA just hit....says about 330 MB. Any ideas? I haven't heard anything else on the news wire about this. So I am curious this isn't some reflash error that is going to BORK my phone. Guess we'll find out in a minute. The push is SLOW and I am on WiFi,

I don't buy that..
I'm using galaxymod with multiwindow and pop up browser etc.. and it runs smooth as silk while multitasking.
we do have an extra gig of ram remember as well, plus our processor is definitely no slouch

The Galaxymod has some optimizations (tweaks) done to it. I don't think the carriers would go this route to be able to make multiwindow run smoothly.

they wouldn't need to lol
it isn't like we have some weak old processor

I also have a Galaxy S2 ATT variant and since the international for 4.1.2 with a working multi view it works fine ported over to the i777 ATT SGS2. IT has a dual core exynos processor though (maybe why). But it is a 1.2Ghz dual core so the SGS3 SHOULD be able to handle it just as well. I would place my bet on the carriers...

This is definitely on the carrier. They know if they give up this feature, then we wouldn't have a reason to upgrade so to speak. It's really sad how they try and cripple a top-end device just so that they can make more money. It's like saying our processor was obsolete before it even hit the market. Come on, we here all know that our processor can easily handle multitasking. To state otherwise is completely false.

The point is that 4.1.2 does not come with multiview (for non-international variants).
I don't see the big deal of the 4.1.2 release anymore without the Premium Suite anymore either.
I think there is an agreement between Samsung and the carriers for the release schedule of these features, so we may not get it until 4.2.1 (which may also fix the lock-screen security flaw). Since multiview wasn't in the original AOSP for our variants, your carrier isn't going to cook it with our existing short battery-life (stock).
Sure, the processor can run it, but also dual-core processor has been known to sap more battery life than the quad-core chipset in real world use.

[Q] At&t Quadrant scores?

Does anyone know the quadrant benchmark scores. i have seen the international one get around 5700-5900, so i was wondering what are the scores the at&t galaxy s3 version. I'm seriously thinking of getting this phone but i don't want to make the wrong choice and regret it later

I I got 5025 on a stock rooted ROM. I may have been OC'd to 1890mhz but I honestly dont remember.
what do you think you'll regret? its a great phone and i've been very pleased with everything the phone can do.
is there a specific task you're concerned about?
also are you upgrading or buying it with out a contract?
I just read about a quad core 1.7ghz HTC ONE X phone coming to att. Don't know if its true, but if it is, I'll be kicking this GS3 to the curb real fast. Has to have 2gb of ram too though.

I think that ill probably regret the fact when I see a person with the international version, and I see how fast that phone is, its going to make the SGH-I747 look slow. I'm a major gamer so that's where the 4 cores will truly show off how great the phone is, and I'm worried that the att galaxy s3 just wont be as good. The unlocked international version cost like 600 dollars, and that is wayyyyyyyy more than I'm willing to spend on a phone.
Basically I want to know how the art compares to the international one, especially in high 3d graphics intensive gaming. I understand that it wont be asssssssss good as the international version, but its still preety good right?!
My sprint contract ends in August and I'm switching to att ( I'm getting 3gb of data, and I live in new York so I get LTE)
Also one more thing that keep forgetting to ask is, how much bloatware is on the phone?
Thanks to everyone in advance

Yeah I just checked it out myself, if HTC announces it before I get the s3 than ill wait for it, but if I already bought it I can't, because att has like a 18-20 month upgrade period.
Still this all just romoured, and if it does come out and it becomes the international version(it probably will because I don't expect a quad core LTE compatible phone for the next year or year and a half),not the us version I'm going to get soooooooo angry. I really wished that at&t gave me a choice between international and us version and allowed me to pick if I wanted the LTE compatible one or not, but sadly they don't

i dont do enough gaming to know if the international version is better for that. i do however do alot of media (music, videos, and photos), and this phone is great for that. If your goal is to get the international version have you considered getting the ATT gs3 and trying to sell it for the unactivated price still new in the box and use that money to buy the i9300?
just my 2 cents

Show him pop up video play and then hand him his jaw from off the floor.
bone stock, the sgs 3 blows the 4s away in everything. the "advantage"(for less tech-savvy folk, like your typical iphone user) for iphones, is that they're easy to use. they have an easier, simpler interface- which is better for people who are not into running customized ROMs or anything.
if your friend doesn't care about modding or playing games, he would not be utilizing the better hardware and software on the SGS 3. he'd be drawn into the excellent marketing of apple, and stay content with the iphone, no matter how much they charge for minor updates.

exactly. your average iphone user has no idea what they're missing out on, they just know apples marketing. you'd be wasting time, unless they actually utilize the plethora of features and hardware superiority of android.
i converted 4 of my friends from the iphone(3gs) to android(amaze 4g, sensation, sgs 3, etc) so far, and that was only because they realized how superior even my old htc g2 was.

2) Floating video thingy.

I think you mean wicked.
The most effective demonstration I have ever done for why I prefer android to iphone was probably also the simplest. I was in a location with no cell phone service, but that did have WiFi. Simple demonstration, my phone rang theirs didn't. My phone was able to make phone calls, theirs couldn't. That forced 5 iphone users to use my galaxy S3 to make phone calls, and they all decided to play with the phone after their calls were through. That led to many questions of "what else can android do that iphone can't" and statements of "I just assumed iphone was better, but I have never really looked at android phones". They are all looking now.

There should be an update from Samsung with the multi-window support.
There's a report of a new update to 4.1.2 to release ota in the next few days for our device ( based us carriers) but no report of multi window is listed, just sound correction and version base is listed.
Seny from the one and only GS3.
4.1.2 is just android software update.
Multi windows falls on premium suits updates. Which is lil bit far I guess. They need to sell s 4 too.
So we have to wait till they sell 10 million s 4s.

I have serious doubts we will see multi window with official support from T-Mobile on the gs3. I had heat issues when I ran a ported version. The code may be designed around the quad core.

That could be true and I'm sure us carriers don't see it the way we do but like mentioned before its a gimmick at best, yeah its cool to show it off and might come in handy every once in a blue moon but no one will use it like their lives depend on it. If it happens cool if not oh well.
Seny from the one and only GS3.
As was said, you won't be seeing MultiWindow on the US variants of the GS3 - its an Exynos-optimized feature.
I think your right after the s4 is out they will give us what the s4 features. On a seperate note I understand that the reason this phone did not get a quad core processor is because when it was relesed they had a problem with getting quad core and LTE to play nice together. They have since figured that out for the note2 but does this phone have a lte modem that is just not active like the n ote2?
We didn't get the Exynos quad because it didn't support LTE in the US and Qualcomm's quad was not ready yet, correct.
Its been debated on whether or not the T-Mobile version supports LTE. Some have said with the latest radio update, LTE was activated, however, I doubt that is the case as the chip doesn't support LTE in AWS as far as I am aware.

Are developers bored with this phone?

Its gotta be boring for developers with the lack of att support right? Can we get a developers opinion on this? I imagine theres only so much a developer can do. It sucks I threw down 249.99 for a phone that's poorly supported by at&t..

It's hard when carriers have control over updates. Ports can only get you so far and since they're not designed for our device it's hard to get everything working 100%. I personally don't like ports and try to stick with what was released for our devices, but some ports turn out better than others. You'll see a lot more development on newer devices and a lot of aosp based development on older devices because aosp bypasses the carriers but can be finicky sometimes because of the closed source proprietary libraries that carriers use.

As AT&T has always been the last to get updates if at all, the best way to send a message about that is to stop using AT&T. I have a work phone and tablet on AT&T that have never been updated from Gingerbread or Honeycomb respectively, yet the manufacturer has the ICS updates on their site.
At&t is pretty bad but nothing is worse than Verizon. I was with them for a long time and att is much better imo. It may be different is this case but historically Verizon gets updates last. I am going back to prepaid or tmo when my contract up though. I love all the ROMs we have for the gs3, even if they are ports they all work pretty good to me. I truly appreciate all the developer support this device still gets.

Definitely appreciate the developers for doing all that they do for us. Couldn't ask for more.
I may be leaving AT&T behind as well. I was thinking of heading to Sprint next year when the contract ends, depending on if Sprint's LTE coverage has improved. I'd really like truly unlimited data for the same/cheaper price than AT&T gives for pretty sad amounts.
Hmmm just buy the nexus its only $300 retail. Those are always up to date

I feel like 4.1.2 (If we ever get it) will breathe new life into this phone, definitely.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Well if one is rooted there are totally stable 4.1.2 touchwiz ROMs and 4.2.2 aosp roms. I have ran stable versions of both. No need to wait for att.

Wow, AT&T still hasn't updated to Android 4.1.2? I'm Canadian, so I didn't know that. I thought AT&T would have updated by now....

You obviously don't know how bad ATT is on things like this. Be happy your in Canada.
They are very good at being last on everything when it comes to updates.

Does it really matter when samsux releases the update. T mobile still has to push it. And dancing on the broken record line, as long as people selling new phones control the updates..........

Sigh, still kind of vague. I'm waiting for the push backs of December then they will say early 2014. Feels bad man.
Just smoke signals. It is getting old to be left behind on updates with new phones. Time for carriers to focus more on updates rather than sales.

While I tend to agree,
Updates don't make money for carriers, phone sales do. Why would they change that dynamic?

Because happy customers=repeat clientele. Although I've never been a big Apple fan, I now realize how important Steve Jobs was to the tech industry.
If you want updates get a nexus, otherwise be happy with your cool big screen phone with a pen

Maybe it's just this will be the third time I have gone through this. First with the behold 2, was promised to us that we would get froyo, which never happened. Second with vibrant, which was promised gingerbread, which also never happened. After that I went through nexus s, nexus s4g then galaxy nexus. Gnex was a bad daddy phone that still can hang with the newest. I was on the fence whether to get nexus 4(which my wife has) or the note. I decided that the screen and pen were more important to me then having newest software. I knew 100% what I was getting into. In the past I have complained to tmobile, signed petitions, complained to samsux, with null results. You may call me a corporate sheep, while I call myself an educated consumer.

Although Samsung is grosley behind the Nexus line up. To be fair Samsung probably has the best track record in terms of updates. The GS2 is still being supported and rumored to get 4.3. And T-Mobile ain't bad seems like we get updates faster than the other US carriers. Although I am using At&t note on T-Mo. Who cares I am sure I will get 4.3 long before official update from any carrier.

one scenario would be once samsung releases the final build -- cyanogenmod gets ahold of it and and puts together a tmobile port for it -- and they start charging for roms maybe. they are in business now to make money and their stable roms tend to be just that.. i'd pay a reasonable amount for a stable rom with all the bells and whistles. I said CM since they went public as a corp- other modders have great roms too

Doubt cm will port an OEM ROM, and especially now that they are technically a OEM. Their goal is to sell the cm experience. Now that they are a corporate they are now for profit. Now no one knows exactly how they are going to acneive that goal. Ads, teaming up with an OEM like Google does with lg and has done with Samsung and HTC. Maybe they will have their own app store. Maybe charge for the installer. Who knows

Some what good news, there is a 4.3 leak for att note 2. No root method yet. I definitely don't recommended flashing if Cuz it will have ARF modem. I plan to flash soon. I have unlocked att note. Pretty sure if a leak doesn't come out there will be flashable zips soon which will make its way to T-Mobile
