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
I tried looking around but couldn't find anything, maybe searched google with the wrong keywords or IDK. Thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else knew any better.
No...
We have no ETA for either official version.
Rest assured if leaks are released, or official versions drop, you will see a flurry of activity regarding those builds.
Meanwhile...enjoy the fine builds we do have....IMHO....g

Ahh okay must've been one of the blog articles I got it confused in thinking KLP would be released for the Note 2.

4.2.2 can pop up any day now for s3 and note2. 5.0 wont be available for a long time (probably will see 4.3 first, and 5.0 will be the last update for note 2).

Isn't the latest official release 4.1.2? What happened to 4.2.1? I'm sure I'm out of the loop on this.
They'll skip over 4.2.1 because it's unnecessary now that 4.2.2 is out

The real trick, is to watch for international release leaks...
Our friends on the other side of the pond will get new releases first, every time. And those builds are generally leaked.
If you see an international note 2 leak that boasts a 4.2.2 build number or higher, then you have cause to celebrate. And only hours later our devs will post the findings.
This info is of course, subject to change without notice...LOL....g
Do you think that the galaxy nexus will still be updated to android 4.3 and 5.0?
Definitely get 4.3 with gnex as its still jellybean an its not exactly a major update just a couple of tweaks here an there, why would they discontinue the jellybean updates with the gnex while we are already on jellybean that's just stupid as for android 5 i seriously doubt we will get it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i think we will get 5.0 also since majority of the phones in the market are still on gb and ics and single core phones, ours is still dual core and i feel its got enough juice to run the future os versions
I think the nexus 4 and 7 will get the 5.0 update, for the galaxy nexus probably only 4.3 hopefully also 5.0

Hey man, how are you? I'm kind of new to this thread so I'm sorry if this question already exists. Ok so I bought my galaxy nexus in South Korea and now I'm in Mozambique, In Africa and I am on android 4.1.2 and I don't get notifications to update to 4.3 and when I go to check for update it says your phone is up to date, could you please help me? Thanks :fingers-crossed: oh and I got the phone like 3-4 months ago

Our hardware becomes older and older day by day so is there any point to Android 4.4 on our S3's?

I had replied to Cnexus 2 above your response in that thread. I actually posted in another thread beating on when it would be asked if we would get it.
My 4 year old OG epic 4g has CM10 running on it, a phone that stopped receiving updates at gingerbread... So hardware while it is a factor can still run latest android versions. It's all up the creative minds of developers.
Have a great day!
I have cm 10 but it won't update because I need to reflash md4 bootloads

The galaxy S3 will be getting 4.3 in October
But I don't think it will officially get 4.4. However does officially really matter, when you can just get it unofficially?
Also by the time carriers actually start releasing 4.4 the gs3 will be a third or even fourth tier phone in the series
Also I like the idea of KitKat it was Google one upping all those people who thought they could predict them in a creative way that also set up more advertising ect...
Eh, not holding my breath. I would rather get it unofficially IMO. Nice to brag to my friends or others
"here look, I'm running the latest of android"......and your not:laugh:

The Galaxy S3 will but ours won't. Always always always when they announce updates forthcoming they are talking about the international versions. It is then up to Samsung and the carriers to invest resources to put them on US phones. Typically this takes several months IF the carrier is interested. AT&T just got 4.1.2 and it is not a pushed update.
As for 4.4 I have no doubts about the S3 getting that version but you will be asking the same hypothetical question then about 5.0.
I could see the s3 getting Kitkat, but not for a while after all of the other phones. Just because the s3 was a very successful phone and they're still being sold like crazy. Anyways, I hope I'll have Kitkat on my s5 on release .

Galaxy S phones have always had two major updates (Galaxy S1 got Froyo and Gingerbread, S2 got ICS and JB. Since Android has had multiple versions of Jelly Bean, it is hard to say whether or not they think of Jelly Bean 4.1 and Jelly Bean 4.3 as two major updates for the Galaxy S3, but if not, then it is likely we will get Android 4.4 KitKat.

Since we don't even have a clue about a release date for 4.4 I would not venture a guess.
KitKat has been confirmed for the Galaxy S3 as I had suspected. Use this to discuss Kitkat, and post any relevant information to the release.

So I read a report. May not be real but I don't see what lends it to being fake. The AT&T Galaxy S3 may be updated to Kitkat.. Which means us here at d2tmo should also get it if this holds true.
You decide. Also post anything you find relating to Kitkat on the S3 officially. Thanks!

Samsung has confirmed that the S3 will get kitkat. Now its just a matter of waiting for the update to be finished, sent to T-Mobile to be approved, and then pushed out.
So apparently I cant post links yet but if you go to the android and me website, they have an article with a link to the press statement made by Samsung.
Based on the devices on the list, we will probably have to wait a while, at least a month or two is my guess, just considering how new each device is.
Sidenote: if you have a Nexus 5, why do you care about the S3???
Not a rumor, its been confirmed that all U.S S3 variants will be 4.4.2 It makes a lot of sense for samsung to still update firmware on the still pretty popular and 2 year old device like ours. The only thing that could knock my S3 off its pedestal could be the S5, so I'm waiting for Feb 24th to come and see if it seduces me enough to jump on it
They started rolling out kit kat yssterday. I dontvknow how long for the s3 to get it. But its about time we get it.
Updated to reflect the current release information!
What's the over/under on the likelihood that Knox has undergone a major revamp to try and make it harder to crack in the next release?
I really like my SGS3, but after all of the crap Samsung has pulled against the modding community, I think this will be my last Samsung device.

I appreciate that show of support against samsung. I approve of this message.
I'm just curious why anybody cares about touch wiz kitkat? I've used a few different kitkat roms now including cm11 and they all work pretty well. A few have some quirks but overall they've been easily reliable enough to use everyday. Other than wifi calling what else do you like about TW versus anything else?

I agree with your sentiment. WIFI calling is the only reason I use TW and now, with multiboot, I can have a TW ROM as a secondary ROM and run CM11/AOKP KK as my daily driver.
I'm sure there's a lot of other folks who prefer TW to AOSP - different strokes for different folks.
I've never really liked TW but I'm curious to see how they integrate TW S voice with kit kat Google now.

Its not that TW is bad by all means...rather its KNOX and the excessive bloat it comes with. There are much worse things than Touchwiz trust me.

Since I posted my other response I've ended up going back to TW 4.3. I didn't know this until I tried it but aosp doesn't have tv out like TW does, at least not using the hd I cable I already have. I miss some of the aosp features but I really don't notice any difference between kitkat and jellybean.
kitkat is officially rolling out for the S4. So its the Note 3 and S4 already with updates. Could the S3 be next or would they go for the Note 2 first and leave us last?

But when will kitkat finally be available for the s3?
I would say a couple months the most
Now is when the s4 is getting kit Kat wow. It's all about market strategy. We probably will get it at the earliest by June. Samsung probably doesn't want a 2 year old device running the same thing too close to when the s5 releases.

Shouldn't be to long considering sprint already released 3 build versions on there device manifest. The sprint galaxy s3 kitkat build is now at NC4 which means it should release this month or the next and t mobile shouldn't be far behind.
