I'm loving the home button. Why so much hate, people!!! :) I dunno... I've always preferred to have at least one button, hence the home button.
[Galaxy S III General] pruhster:
Most people on XDA maybe, but I imagine they are a small percentage overall. Looking back at how slow Samsung rolled out ICS updates my hopes are sinking (~6 months for GS2), then again the fact that it's not such a major update could help.

We'll see what teamhacksung do.
[Galaxy S III General] Motogp1:
I have no update option on mine, orange UK decided to remove, orange would take a further 6 months to release it and then they would mess it up . Can I do this through kies .

Nice, but now i'm wondering about the development of the AOSP roms, i think them could be broken. :o
[Galaxy S III General] Aimara:
with the casing put on, I have to admit it's quite hard to press the home button, but I think it can be solve easily with a button sticker, still waiting for nice cut ones for sgs 3
[Galaxy S III General] @xDeepS:
I dont get why people use ROMs.. I mean I know why but you use functionality. Do these people prefer looks over functions?

Which ROM out there supports stock camera as it is? CheckROM did in S2 but theyre still working on their ICS ROM.

Verge has an article up about some S3 variants having 2GB RAM. I am 95% sure we'll get an update. But after like 3months of source code release.

What's wrong with the home button?
[Galaxy S III General] spncrmoo:
I think you're a little confused an misinformed. What functionality do you think we lose with custom roms? I'm running a custom rom on my S3 and I have only gained functionality, and lost none. My stock (and slightly improved) camera is working perfectly :S
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
Yep that HOME button.....its the reason we will not be getting Jelly the Bean<<<<

Great, my S3 just became outdated by the S3... perfect sense.
[Galaxy S III General] binaryanomaly:
think thats BS...
[Galaxy S III General] pruhster:
The camera was one of the first MODs for the GS3 and it's just the stock app with a superior quality option which rocks. A lot of GS3 owners use stock based ROMs which offer the best of both worlds. That will probably change once Jelly Bean ROMs start coming out. I'll happily trade S-Voice for the new Google alternative and TW for the buttery jelly bean launcher.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
Of course it is, Samsung would have known exactly what was planned with Android 4.1 and more than likely already have the sources.

[Galaxy S III General] msaraiva:
Total and pure BS. Google itself said it shared the PDK with "key partners" several weeks before. Don't you think the manufacter with the best Android handset qualify as one? Also, Jelly Bean is an incremental upgrade. And if you still want to believe that crap, just remeber that GNex/Xoom are getting JB in just two weeks, and they all have 1GB RAM.
[Galaxy S III General] Thor:
That's possibly BS, but either way it might be a good thing.

If Samsung really did want to make sure the SGS3 was going to be perfect with Jelly bean, it really makes one think that they won't take long to getting Jelly bean on the SGS3.

The fact remains, the SGS3 is still very new and samsung should realize that a lot of people looking to buy the SGS3 will want Jelly bean as it will be all the craze now.

So hopefully they know this and will work hard to get Jelly bean out soon. Now since Sammobile posted it should be Q3. That doesn't mean we won't see some decent leaks before than.
[Galaxy S III General] androidpixar:
Exactly!
[Galaxy S III General] Blomkungen:
Wait what?

It took like 3-4 months in Europe.

And I didn't even get the first release.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
aosp should be coming faster this time.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] nickpraeger:
pretty sure samsung will have had it for several months

i just read that google are dishing out android pdk early to manufacturers so that they can speed up new releases. so samsung likely had the jelly bean pdk weeks ago. (this is different to sdk)

hopefully they will be on the ball with updates then (especially as its just a minor one)
[Galaxy S III General] pruhster:
Well the PDK is itself in beta so it probably won't speed things up that much now but it's a good move.
[Galaxy S III General] toughcookie:
im going to assume it will be quite some time given i just received ICS update on my AT&T s2 a few days ago!

the only thing apple does right is not letting the carriers screw with the software, wish google would do the same so we could all get sooner
[Galaxy S III General] ciscostud:
Verge sources are bull ####. Nexus S has 512MB and will get jb. It's amazing how fast fiction turns to facts because of the media. Samsung S3 had to have 2gb ram or it would have looked like every other phone with the same snapdragon processor.
[Galaxy S III General] stuff:
This. It's pretty apparent that ICS, let alone JB, does not need 1GB or more of ram. 2GB is just straight overkill (but awesome). I'm leaning more towards the reason for Sammy wanting the SGS3 in the U.S. to have 2GB of ram is to shove it in Apples face. Because the iPhone is a huge device in the states, and Samsung and Apple are in fist fights over a lot of things.
[Galaxy S III General] twoashj:

[Galaxy S III General] qhinton:
Samsung makes the Gnex so they have had the jelly bean for a while now. This is why I always hesitate to by non nexus devices
[Galaxy S III General] joshnichols189:
The on screen buttons are infinitely more useful than a physical button.
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
Not hardly.

Not to mention those on screen keys are just plain ugly and don't match the rest of the screen.
[Galaxy S III General] joshnichols189:
Not hardly? You can change them to launch apps, or rearrange them, or be whatever buttons you want. If you want search, you can have search. If you want to long press home for recent, you can and you can remove the recent button. You can make long press of any of them launch anything you want. You can toggle widgets to pop up on the screen.You can even theme them and hide them at will.

You know what I can do with my physical home button? Reprogram it and its long press.
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
My point is, they are ON the screen and IN the way and EASY to accidentally press and VERY ugly.

At least the physical button makes it much easier to wake up the phone, much easier to go into download mode or recovery mode, much easier to take screen shots, etc.. etc...

My big gripe with the OneX, even though it didn't have on screen buttons, was that it still had those on screen ICS menu options. Ugly.
[Galaxy S III General] joshnichols189:
I agree with the one x sentiment but I never had any problems. To each their own I suppose, sir ;)

Came from an EVO 4G LTE and I LOVE THE HOME BUTTON
[Galaxy S III General] micxploed:
Everyone has their likes and dislikes about the GS3. I personally like my GS3 more than any other phone out there and tho this home button will take some getting used to, I think I will get use to it. I think some people are too quick to judge a phone when they find something they don't like about it. Bottom line is, the SGS3 right now is king. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] huzz:
Stay on topic guys. Thread is supposed to be about Jelly Bean.
[Galaxy S III General] micxploed:
About 4.1 jelly bean...It agitates the carp out of me when I got a phone that JUST came out and now android announces the new version that almost makes my new gs3 software seem outdated when we should be getting the update first and not the stupid nexus. (Lol, I sound like a spoiled brat.) But it's true.
[Galaxy S III General] joshnichols189:
The point of nexus phones is they get updates first.

OTA for play store nexus phones..
[Galaxy S III General] Tomatoes8:
Sounds like someone made that up for a story to me. Trusted source, sure. Haha

It is obvious, to me at least, why they are doing it. If all their mobile customers are ordering 2gb of ram, most of their factories are set to crank out 2gb chips, and their goal is to make 2gb of ram standard by 2013, then their latest high end products will have 2gb of ram. Plain and simple.

Also the home button is much better simply because you can use it to wake up the phone.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
wow, thats a site made of apple fan boys... hope you know that. Better they can start writing stories instead of articles.... how dumb

[Galaxy S III General] sids911:
I still dont understand the rationale for 2 cores = 2GB and 4 cores = 1 GB Ram. After all, you cannot possibly compensate the need for extra memory with a beefier processor!!

That said, I am thinking Samsung now finds the cost of manufacturing 2 GB chips and 1 Gb chips to be almost same. So it may not entirely be about Jelly Bean - it could be just about reduced costs!
[Galaxy S III General] pruhster:
I think 2GB is mostly a marketing decision. Nothing to do with Jelly Bean as it will run fine on 512MB RAM (Nexus S). The time will probably come when RAM will be e limiting factor on the international GS3, but it won't be for a while and by then you will probably want to upgrade anyway.
[Galaxy S III General] RabAusten:

[Galaxy S III General] pchoi94:
wow really? at first i was turned off by it (haven't used it yet) but i figure with custom ROMs you can probably enable soft buttons and never have to touch the physical one, or remap it to something else, like a dedicated camera button!
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
This is why the nexus line is always relevant.
[Galaxy S III General] burner07:
are you blind? TW IS 80% SAME AS ICS LAUNCHER WHY DID U BUY SGS3 IF YOU WANTED stock android launcher?

ps i had galaxy nexus with this"awsome" launcher and it was the most laggy phone ever...

and of course we will have atleast 2 major updates...don`t tell me htc one x will get more updates same 1gig ram

iphone4s has max 325 free ram and gets its job done smooth till you reach 85mb ram:)):D

i think 2 gig of ram is to much for a phone .. what is the idea to run 3 games + music facebook browser etc in the background if you don`t need them? do you leave your diablo 3 in background in windows then play another game?(i don`t think so)
[Galaxy S III General] norpan111:
What? I don't think you really got my comment but anyway.. I did that the other day actually! I was playing mw3 and i was about to tab out to check Facebook and BAM crisis 2 jumped on me lol.. I just forgotten i was playing that.

I have no idea why you are trying to lecture me about ram and launchers.. I hope you will find peace in whatever you are trying to achieve.
[Galaxy S III General] biffsmash:
Personally I think home button on this is fine, the nexus is crap and lagggy as hell and this phone definitely needs 2gb of ram as apps are always having to reload what they were doing g when you use a couple of apps. Far too much running.

Jelly bean sucks.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Troll.

Jelly bean makes the nexus smooth as butter, its obvious you haven't used it.

Multitasking is fine for me, you obviously don't know how to use your phone and make it run properly.

2gb of ram is not needed, it would be nice, as would a 12 core CPU, but not needed.
[Galaxy S III General] Junglenutz:
Well Im pretty sure the S3 will be getting JB but when I dont know but hopefully before Sept 20ish because that is when i go on vacation. I thought ICS was a bigger ui update so i think it will be shorter then we all think
[Galaxy S III General] androholic:
Whether Samsung does or doesn't push JB to the gs3, it basically adds a few features and speeds up the ui, which is great, but the gs3 is already sooo fast! I won't feel left out being on ics with a gs3. This is a top notch device, so sit back and enjoy it. There will be jb roms for those of us that want to toy with it, but it's not going to be a reason to get rid of this phone, even if it didn't get jb. I'm hona order a Nexus now, but mostly based on the price drop. Most of us on XDA are power user, phone junkies, that have more devices than any normal user could ever want or need, so I'm sure all of us here will be playing with jb one way or another, and most ppl upgrading aren't going to be worried if the gs3 is on jb or ics. They probably wouldn't even notice the difference, and I'm sure Samsung knows that.

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:00 PM ----------

Ics was a very difficult update for manufacturers & carrier's, basically because gingerbread was scrapped & android was given an entire system overhaul. Just my thoughts anyhow, I'm no developer...
[Galaxy S III General] joshnichols189:
This phone does not need 2GB of RAM, you wouldn't even know what to do with 2GB of RAM. Do you see how much free RAM the US versions have? They have an extra 1GB of RAM that does not even get used. Unused RAM is wasted RAM. The reason you have so many reloads is because of Touchwiz, so deal with it. You probably haven't even used a Galaxy Nexus because you obviously don't know anything about it. I bet you didn't watch the keynote either because you probably don't even know the features of Jellybean.

Do people really think a flagship phone won't get an incremental update?
[Galaxy S III General] YoungAceAtlanta:
OK I love my Nexus and its features and benefits of updates ... but if someone ask me to choose a phone to live with for 2 years I would choose the GS3 over the Nexus ... better hardware and battery .. plus removable storage .. idk how a simple home button can bother people .. no one had that probly on the GS2

But to stay on topic we won't see JB official for a while ... but we will have leaks and ports from the AOSP
[Galaxy S III General] dhoshman:
I cant wait until JB is ported by some wonderful developer. For those that are going crazy for the Galaxy Nexus and tryiing to trade their GS3 for one think how much better it will run on the GS3 when its ported. We hands down have a more powerful device.
[Galaxy S III General] Brosa:
Exactly. I was fairly disapointed in the features other than project butter that was due to get a look at. But other than that some updates to the AOSP tree with some camera and other framework updates. I quite enjoy the "new" touchwiz and the only thing I would look forward to in JB is the theoretical responsivness improvements.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
Im super happy with my GS3 the way it is right now. Im so happy with it that i havent even rooted the damn thing yet cause it does everything i want flawlessly, fast as hell with very good battery life. JB will be nice but theres no rush. Ics came out just a few months back too. But i think samsung said there should be a JB update in Q3.
[Galaxy S III General] Byakuya88:
whats wrong here ???? you talk about the Sgs3 as if it was a phone that was released a year ago ..... this is the best phone available on the market .... if you were a little bit inteligent you will understand that this: http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/27/3121569/galaxy-s-iii-variants-ram-upgrade-jelly-bean is B.S......Nexus S with 512 ram can run J.B 4.1........

When you guys get some sort of jellybean aosp build I might jump ship.

Samsung still giving free phones to Cyanogenmod?

Sent from my jellybeaned GNex
[Galaxy S III General] esist:
Based on what?

Galaxy S II CM9 is still only a release candidate.

Samsung released a final version like two months ago.

The difference is you can obtain non-final unstable versions of CM and other custom ROMs whereas you can't obtain Samsung's internal builds. Well... not all of them anyway :D

Also dunno why people are doubting the GS3 will get JB. It will, Samsung have already confirmed it. But they didn't need to, it was patently obvious. Since the first GS I haven't ever heard of Samsung promising an update that doesn't come. They've come late at times, but I've can't think of ones that haven't come at all (US GS and GS2 variants don't count since other forces are at work).

And everyone PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT THE STUPID BUTTONS!!!!!!!!!!!! Saying "Oh I (dis)like the buttons but this is off topic" doesn't help. Someone will just reply to it to say what's wrong with (not) having the buttons. Talk about it all you want, in a different thread. I don't wanna have to look through 10 pages of comments half of which are about the stupid home button.
[Galaxy S III General] micxploed:
I think the purpose of having more ram on the gs3 is to make it future proof. When the os gets bigger and better we are going to need the memory. Might be pointless now, but this Will allow the gs3 to compete in the

future.
[Galaxy S III General] micxploed:
Also, people are talking about the quad core being over kill. It may be at the moment, but in the future I know for shure they will be utilized. Hopefully JB will utilize more of the cup and ram in an awesome way.

[Galaxy S III General] micxploed:
Lol, well, I certainly did not mean future like in Terminator future terms. I was referring to the specific future of the gs3's life. However, I do agree with you about having a different phone within a good length of time. As soon as something comes out better than the gs3, so long gs3.X) It's too soon to be thinking like that right now. Lol

[Galaxy S III General] Sensamic:
They cant and wont take off the new Google search and Now. They are part of the update. Users will be all over them. If they screw this up I wont buy another Samsung phone ever.
[Galaxy S III General] jonathanyong:
I'm hoping that if they insist on including touchwiz versions of apps they stop screwing them up with stuff like:

converting to mms after 4 smses,

smses in call log,

general poor sms app compared to gosms (lack of options eg repeat vibrate every 5 mins),

terrible email client (compose message field screws up text selection and copy paste) ,

laggy contacts app (sliding finger down right side alphabet takes ages to start rendering),

Inability to swap homescreen icons by dragging one over the other on home screens even though it's possible within folders,

s memo is rubbish for taking text based notes

Video player unable to play 720p videos smoothly when mx player can

Looking forward to jelly bean nonetheless and I love my gs3, it's a beast of a phone and I'm glad I can easily replace most of the above with custom roms, 3rd party apps and aosp apps. But a lot of the touchwiz customisation really ruins the overall experience. I am glad, however, that they stuck with a physical home button and a menu key so we don't have the pesky 3 dot button.
[Galaxy S III General] Scared27:
I think everyone is getting their hopes up with the changes Samsung could make with Jelly Bean.

Going off past form (SGS1, SGS2) everything will stay almost exactly the same when the phone is updated to 4.1. The messaging app won't be changed on the S3 (only changed for newer models). I would love to see Samsung continue to improve their software and then rollout those changes to their recent devices but it's not going to happen.
