different

hello guys

is the polish jelly bean different the uk jelly bean ?

coz i want to update my S3

and i live in jordan (arabic Region)...

so i want an advice to update or wait my turn

sorry for my bad english
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Yes, Polish is unbranded but UK is newer.
[Galaxy S III General] avatar7:
Thanks for that.

So for example if I am currently on stock UK 4.0.4 unlocked and update to Three JB image doing the update via Odin3 would I loose all my settings and apps or would all my settings and apps be kept when I update?
[Galaxy S III General] stunno:
I rooted, flashed the Omega ROM but had a few issues so flashed the stock 3 rom and everything is exactly as it was on ICS
[Galaxy S III General] gfreeman86:
I had ICS, ITV stock version. Flashed Italian JellyBean HUI (H3G carrier) with Odin without wipe. Everything gone right, no problems at all.

Greetings

I have tried a lot of different android OS version on SGS II and SGS III, but I do have to charge to phones every night when using it during the day frequently. Perhaps someday SAMSUNG or another brand will bring out a phone with a 8000mAh battery...?
[Galaxy S III General] P_Jazzy:
I would do a backup just in case. You shouldn't lose any of your settings/applications/emails/photo's etc. It would be an upgrade as though you did it via Kies.
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
Come on unbrandeeddddddd
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
We have to wait for all the locked and branded phones to be updated first
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
... you assume. It could come out at any time the button is pressed by the Big S.

Or do you know something for sure?

How is the battery life on jelly bean?
[Galaxy S III General] mossy1963:
:) I know, its hilarious isn't it? Everyone has become an expert on Samsung Android upgrade policy since someone said "this is what happened with SGS2 upgrades".

Might be true...might be bollocks....but it is purely supposition based on statements made elsewhere on XDA which are now being pedaled as fact by people wanting to sound "in the know" but who are really no better informed than the rest of us.

It'll happen when it happens... but these forums would be a better information source if people quoted known

facts

....not hunches and urban myths
[Galaxy S III General] tedulus:
while browsing on JB is faster i encoutered all sorts of problems with JB, TW force closes, laggy transitions, sync problems on all apps that i use that need to sync, battery is the worst ever, while on ics i got almost a full day with one charge and moderate use, now with JB i got FC, lag, frequent droped calls and call related problems, and a half of day of moderate use.....wtf upgrade is that ?

i use I9300XXDLIH in vodafone romania
[Galaxy S III General] thyttel:
None of those problems here! You sure you did a full wipe and reinstall when going from ics to jb?

new firmware with older changelog?? (According to samsung-updates.com)

H3G - 288630; Build Date 08.10.2012

VD2 - 256827; Build date 28.09.2012
[Galaxy S III General] xpandnz:
H3G is great so if its LJ1 then should be in business.
[Galaxy S III General] ixon2001:
With Vodaphone finally getting their JB update out, this could finally mean the International I9300 will see JB hopefully sometime this week, probably tomorrow fingers crossed.
[Galaxy S III General] flashflash:
Nobody knows for sure, only Samsung does. However, since the upgrade pattern is taking exactly the same route as the S2 update, we can say with a high degree of probability that the reasoning for the unbranded delay is the same. Below is an extract from a CNET interview with Samsung UK regarding S2 ICS update.

SIM-free S2 owners will get the ICS update "once we've got all of the operator pieces on board", said Simon Stanford, VP of Samsung Telecommunications and Networks for Samsung UK and Ireland, speaking exclusively to CNET UK today.

The upgrade process Samsung has used to push out ICS to S2 owners means SIM-free devices can't be updated until all mobile networks have tested and approved ICS -- and since some operators are still testing and approving the update, some SIM-free S2 owners are still waiting to get Ice Cream Sandwich.

O2 confirmed to customers that they would get the update last Friday. It never happened! Not a lot of happy people on the O2 forums. No reason has been given from O2 as to why the delay.

Update: looks like O2 users getting OTA update this morning.
[Galaxy S III General] Arthur Hucksake:
My next phone will have to be a Nexus or I might jump ship altogether if Win Phone 8 is any good.

Samsung & HTC are both too slow with their updates and putting network devices to the front of the queue is simply wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] mroshaw:
My Vodafone 4.1.1 OTA update just downloaded and immediately failed to install - just got a blank message box with an 'OK' button. Is that because I'm rooted?

Can someone please post up a link to an Odin Vodafone UK 4.1.1 firmware?

[UPDATE]: Downloading now from sammobile! :)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Try samfirmware

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
[Galaxy S III General] Crafty77:
So I got the OTA from vodafone UK and installed it, when it had completed there was a new software license/disclaimer. You have to go in and click "I agree".

When I did so it came up with a message that said "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available".

So just to check I went to Settings -> About -> Check for update. I receive the same error here.

My phone is not modified in any way - no ROMs, no root etc.

I suspect there has been some issue with the branded firmware, maybe it isn't recognised properly and therefore the system believes the phone has been modified ?

Pain in the ass, I wish carriers wouldn't screw around with firmware, it isn't their core business.
[Galaxy S III General] purger155:
Germany (probably unbranded) on sammobile in download progres :)
[Galaxy S III General] Joschi75:
Very likely the unbranded german version, it's already rolling out in Germany via OTA
[Galaxy S III General] tedulus:
Nope i did not do a full wipe prior updating because it came ota and just installed, and after installation 2 wipes. What should i do, full wipe and then install from sammobile ?
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
They release German unbranded but delay the uk one that's taking the piss
[Galaxy S III General] NeoDJW:
My sgs3 is from germany ( t-mobile ) but I live in croatia, do I depend on my operator or the germans t-mobile ?

[Galaxy S III General] middlep1:
I just updated through Kies, my handset is a German SGS3 import (bought from a UK retailer and located in the UK):

Now running XXDLIH, can't really tell the difference Project Butter has made to the speed and fluidity of the UI!

The wait begins for 4.1.2 / 4.2 ................ :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
Once again, why is the UK more deserving than anywhere else?
[Galaxy S III General] Manafa:
Because they was mighty empire and have a queen :)))
[Galaxy S III General] mroshaw:
That's right - everyone knows we're best.

Seriously though, why ***** and moan about who gets what when? In case you hadn't noticed, Jelly Bean will not abolish hunger, bring world peace or save the cheerleader. Just be patient.

You'll soon have it and we can all look forward to the threads moaning about how rubbish the update is and how we can't wait for 4.2 etc etc etc.
[Galaxy S III General] circuit89:
France unbranded it out. Hoping for UK unbranded to be released soon.
[Galaxy S III General] ~semsem~:
XDLJ2 Coming Guys :) Enjoy!! with much more changelog 319653,

http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
[Galaxy S III General] alexp999:
I personally am not bothered which countries get it first, but it is pretty annoying to see a branded handset in the UK (3, O2) getting it before unbranded.
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
There seems to be a quite a few here who are under the impression that the Empire still exists, that Brittania still rules the waves and that as a result, they have some preordained right to be treated preferentially. And as for Lizzie, à la lanterne with them all.
[Galaxy S III General] middlep1:
No one said the UK deserves it more than anyone else, if anything it is asking why do the territories that have it already deserve to be first over everyone else, there should be a single European rollout at the same time.

I would guess it will be rolled out over today / tomorrow, so everyone just chill!, it isn't that amazing to get all worked up over, marginal gains at best, most people won't even notice the difference day to day.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
"I must be the only one" to not give a single F about which countries get it first, unbranded or not. I am happily rolling CM10 until unbranded UK (BTU) or unbranded Nordic (NEE) drops, after which I will try either/or.
[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
I think,from now to friday, they will release for all carriers and unbranded.. i'm just waiting for unbranded italian version, hope to see it soon!
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
In fairness that hasn't been the tone of those who are constantly whining about JB being released. They have very much been suggesting that the UK should, for whatever reason, receive JB above everyone else.

Edit: I absolutely agree that there should be a single rollout for the International model.
[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
XEF it means it's the french unbranded?!?
[Galaxy S III General] Roadrunner100:
Received OTA 2 hours ago. Installed with no errors. No App or Data loss, on a stock unrooted SIII. Device purchased in the US (German Origin CSC as far as I can tell).
[Galaxy S III General] JAMIE1000UK:
NO SAVING THE CHEERLEADER!

Screw u Jellybean!!
[Galaxy S III General] Tilgi:
Can anyone give details about the differences between the three Roms they are rolling out at the moment?

XXDLJ1, XXDLIH and now XDLJ2

I am very confused? Thought in Europe every Land receives the same ROM and only differs in CSC.

But here are three different ROMS active...

Which one is the newest (XXDLJ2 i guess?!)

Thanks to anyone who can clarify this a bit to me ;)
[Galaxy S III General] nbdc:
I think it probably has a lot to do with people on here changing their imported international to the UK version as they assumed it would be updated first/early.

Mines a Romanian import but I don't even know what country I updated to when I first got my phone, but I'm grabbing that German version now, and now I want that French version as it appears to be newer.

Personally I don't understand why they make it so hard on themselves by having so many versions.
[Galaxy S III General] ~semsem~:
Newest is XXDLJ2
[Galaxy S III General] Tilgi:
Then I really don't get Samsungs Update policy... why don't they release XXDLJ2 to every country?

Is there a changelog anywhere?
[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
i think is due the date they sent the "unbranded version" to carriers.. for example, seems that they sent the newer version ( so far) to france,after the others.. and the changelist is also 319653 respect to the lower 288630of LJ1 ( and for sure,there are a good part of changes)
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
lj3 rom for note2 had multi view, early testers do you see multi view feature in lj2 rom?

long press back key to activate it(if its there ;))
[Galaxy S III General] The S3 Kid:
LJ2 has multiview?
[Galaxy S III General] thyttel:
It's already been answered a few times in the forum now but I'll do it again. No there is no multi view.

And I highly doubt you will see it at any time. It's a feature of the note 2, not galaxy S3 original edition.

Yes I'm aware some 2 gb Korean edition showed it, but that's still not the same phone and I highly doubt you will see it in the 1gb edition.

Claiming the 1gb edition can run it just fine don't change you won't get it:)

And yes I'm on lj2

[Galaxy S III General] Poshdaz:
Windows Phone is hardly a good option if updates matter to you, no Win7 phones will get Win8.
[Galaxy S III General] gsmallfree:
Hello,

with JB I'm unable to move anymore the option app when I would same to piss a phone with a bluetooth handset. I promote to use Cyberon Articulate Compel instead of SVoice (it's faster and totality offline) but it's practicable to do this only with ICS. Any Suggestions?

impart you,

Max
[Galaxy S III General] AndyChecker:
Got an unlocked Galaxy S3 from e2save in the UK a couple of weeks ago and was seeing no updates which upon further investigation I put down to my CSC being set to KOR. I changed my CSC to BTU which I believe is the correct one for unbranded UK from the attached options yeah?

Now that I am set to BTU am I also right in thinking there is still NO UK unbranded 4.1 update yet?

Thanks in advance for your help!
[Galaxy S III General] pähkinä:
I guess phones coming with wp 8 included will have far better support, or wp shall be doomed!

---------- Post added at 02:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

Um, what?
[Galaxy S III General] Richies113:
Quick question.

If I have a Nandroid backup of my phone and I change the CSC (which I know wipes the phone), can I restore the Nandroid and keep the CSC or will it change my CSC back to what it was when I made the backup in the first place?
[Galaxy S III General] patriotaki:
jb update release date for unlocked galasy s3 phones?
[Galaxy S III General] Tilgi:
Good question, was asking this myself, but haven't had the time to try out and in bad case restore everything... ;)

But I guess this will not work... nandroid should restore everything, even csc
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
good question no body knows could be this week or next month
[Galaxy S III General] kenyw:
It seems to me that part of the reason for the impatience for the BTU version while seeing the operator variants roll out is if you bought a SIM free set with the rationale of not being at the mercy of the network's timing to get updates. Except with the policy of testing with all networks it ends up being worse because the rollout for the SIM free phones now is in accordance with the slowest network to approve the firmware, which in the case of the UK is EE/Orange/T at the moment.

On the other hand I can imagine why Samsung would choose to do so if they got burned with network specific issues in the initial rollout of ICS for the i9100 (that got pulled back for a bit).
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Unlocked/unbranded jellybean coming November

http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...locked-Galaxy-S-III-devices-by-Early-November
[Galaxy S III General] Snow Monkey:
My Impatience

The only reason I'm waiting is because I got my s3 from Mobicity as unlocked but it was an Australian model with Yes Optus branding! I hate branding so I flashed the UK ICS firmware and then found Kies would not recognise the firmware, so after changing the CSC to BTU kies found and installed the latest ICS update. I'm just waiting to see if I get OTA update as well as it showing on Kies. I can't see why it won't as the device status is normal, Flash counter is Zero and the two status on flash counter screen show samsung original!
[Galaxy S III General] kenyw:
If we're talking about just the UK, maybe, but France and Spain have already seen unbranded firmware become available.
[Galaxy S III General] sarbe:
If you restore the nandroid it will change your csc back to what it was before the nandroid.
[Galaxy S III General] stunno:
I'm not sure that that is correct as Orange were selling the i9305 with jb 3 weeks ago. So if it wad good enough for the i9305 why not the i9300?

I'm sure there will be logical reason for the order of the roll out, but i dont think that's it
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Hmm.. I seem to have an unknown CSC from flashing the french unbranded JB odin rom. Is there any way I can regain my CSC without wiping data?
[Galaxy S III General] erto90:
how i can check scs? seems the codes aren't working.. i flashed LJ2 over a stock ICS..

and i want change csc

or better, *#272*IMEI# IS NOT WORKING:. it just remain written in dialer..
[Galaxy S III General] Poshdaz:
Oh FFS, seriously?

I should have known that not buying nexus was a mistake.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I'd take anything Youmobile posts with a mountain of salt.
[Galaxy S III General] Smartie36:
I'm also using an unbranded s3 in the UK awaiting the jb update to be offered ota but my csc is OXA which upon checking on Google that csc appears to be the European unbranded handset, I wonder if I need to change my csc to BTU if I want to receive the jb anytime soon!
[Galaxy S III General] Poshdaz:
Yep, you're probably right. Frustration that we seem to be waiting for something all the time is boiling over. Just release the relevant sources please, then CM10 becomes a no brainer.
[Galaxy S III General] chaz81:
Is xabgl8 an unbranded csc? Just realised its OXA. Does that mean the European unbranded version will be last in line?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
That depends on what they'll actually release. I'm fairly certain they'll leave out something crucial. After all, it's Samsung and keeping promises isn't their strong side., while being a tad ambiguous is a strong side of theirs.
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
I've never really worried about CSCs before but I've just flashed the XEF ROM, went into recovery and let it set NEE which went fine and which Kies sees the phone as. Yet when I check CSC through *#1234#, it still says XEF. Any idea what that's about?
[Galaxy S III General] avatar7:
I just updated my stock uk 4.0.4 to Vodafone UK 4.1.1 using Odin3. Worked a charm. Kept all my files, settings and apps :)

Now when stock UK comes out should I be able to update the same way and not loose any of my data and files?
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
Considering doing the same.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
I'm not buying a unlocked phone again what's the point
[Galaxy S III General] mroshaw:
Well, I have updated to 4.1.1 on Vodafone UK and, quite frankly, the rest of you are right to be jealous / miserable / moaning - it's possibly the best thing that's ever happened in my life! After installation, the world is literally a better place - I'm not joking! On completion of the upgrade, my wife immediately became a super model AND I won the lottery! Not only that, peace was declared across the planet and famine has been banished forever! All because of Jelly Bean - thank you Samsung, it was worth the wait!

Seriously though, it's almost exactly the same as ICS - the S3 is so blisteringly quick anyway, you won't notice a jot of difference bar a few extra menu options.

Enjoy the wait though! ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Poshdaz:
Very true, I would bet that camera sources and HDMI will be left out for starters. I'm getting very cynical in my old age!
[Galaxy S III General] Andymagyar:
Really impressed with the smooth new jelly bean through Vodafone, even smoother than on my nexus7.
[Galaxy S III General] chaz81:
I just want Google now!! Don't care about the rest of it other than no redraw and maybe a little extra juice in the tank! It's nearly 6 months old now anyway, I'll be upgrading as soon as the next big thing comes out that isn't Samsung

[Galaxy S III General] gfreeman86:
I upgraded to JB brand H3G.

Honestly, ICS was smooth and fast, but this JB is much smoother and faster!

It's really a great upgrade. No problem in 3 days.

Thank you Samsung, it's worth the wait (but the next time, a little bit faster plz :)
[Galaxy S III General] boulek:

Anyone having problems with "Continuous Input" from Stock Samsung Keyboard when update from 4.0.4 to 4.1? Even you "swyping" the characters don't appear on the screen.

[Galaxy S III General] Tilgi:
Why don't you just take the french unbranded Rom XXDLJ2?

Its the newest official Samsung Stock Rom you can get...
[Galaxy S III General] Ryaninja:
All good except roaming notification...

I've just upgraded from the stock unbranded UK ICS firmware to United Kingdom (H3G) 4.1.1 (I9300XXDLJ1) Jelly Bean ROM and I'm constantly getting data roaming error notifications that I never had on the stock unbranded firmware although I do have terrible signal in my house, so sometimes I lose connectivity altogether.

What's strange is that apparently there was a bug in ICS that caused this, but I never had that on mine, however now I've upgraded to Jelly Bean and a branded (Three) ROM, I get this message all the time, despite roaming being disabled in the settings.

I should also note that I am currently on the Three network but bought the unbranded phone outright with an O2 sim card. I wonder if flashing an O2 branded ROM might be the way forward?
[Galaxy S III General] wolvie_rs:
Maybe try to change the modem file.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
i bet when samsung release 4.1.2 unlocked will get it first just like when lh1/lg8 was released so why couldn't they do that with jellybean
[Galaxy S III General] stunno:
I've done much the same but my problem is that my sd card keeps being recognised as being read only. If I Unmount then remount it is Ok again for a few minutes then it goes RO again. I think I will have to wipe completely but will wait until the full unbranded Rom is out
[Galaxy S III General] wolvie_rs:
I just formated mine using the phone itself (Format SD Card) and stop to appear this errors. My only problem now are with the stock swype keyboard (continuous input).
