Ive read all over the internet that the OTA update for the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 is a leaked version...so when does the REAL official update get released??
No one knows for sure, not even Samsung. It was said to be 8/29 which obviously didn't happen. Now they're saying possibly this month. But who knows.. these things change all the time. My guess is about a week before the iPhone 5 hits.... cynical? Perhaps...

I live down the street from T-Mo headquarters here in Bellevue, WA, and I have a couple of friends that work in the dev department and they said within the next week. Before the iPhone5 announcement is actually a very very good guess.
Seeing as we have had a couple of decent leaks, the last one being pretty stable, it shouldn't be too much longer.
No one not even Samsung or Tmobile knows when its going to drop.

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
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
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.

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.

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.

I have faith , why ?
S2 came with gingerbread right ? then ICS , and last at JB
why would S2 be better than note 2 ?
we still on 1st version or going from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 is huge upgrade !!!!!
still more to come , just dont think about it , like many who just want update and dont use 30% of what note 2 can do
I guess the 4.3 will be the last update... Samsung doesn't play fair with updates
Well you can always go here to get the latest version of android lol anyway been such a long time since I last touched stock ROM that using it makes me feel like a fish out of water.

Many people requesting = showing Samsung the big demand and make it hard for them NOT to make an update
4.3 is likely to be our last official update. 4.4 hasn't even been released yet and our model just got superseded. Samsung has little vested interest in keeping the Note2 fan base up to date. Furthermore 4.4 has been documented as a major upgrade, so the cost will be significant for Samsung and the carriers to put dev time into it. It will be comparable to the GB to ICS upgrade which saw a lot of superseded handsets miss out.
Well, we should wait and see. The SGS2 has been receiving updates, hasn't it? Slowly, but sure. It's getting updates and fixes.
Sometimes I want to buy the next nexus phone because it's Google so no worries about the updates..

It might be late but we will definitely get the 4.4 update. Samsung might be slow but never leaves its flagship phones without updates so soon.

Does your phone not work with the current firmware? Did you purchase a license agreement with Samsung or your mobile carrier saying that your phone would ever receive more than bug fixes?
