There is the load on the Kies servers to consider when rolling out the updates. Samsung know (at least roughly if not reasonably accurately) how many units of each variant there are and the rollout may want to consider the update server loading with each variant firmware they release.

Additionally, I think a carrier branded ROM only needs to contain the info for the relevant provider in its CSC, so 3UK's firmware only needs (technically) to contain the information for the 3UK network, whereas the BTU firmware has to include correct information for all the networks. Therefore if the networks do not delay approval of the update they might be faster. Do correct me if I'm wrong on this one.

I'm fairly confident we'll see the BTU update in a few days :)
[Galaxy S III General] goose2515:
No more waiting please!
[Galaxy S III General] wwatfa:
ok,

this is what i am planning to do

-factory reset on ICS

-update to jelly bean sweeden (since it seems most people are recommending this one)

-Root

now, how can i get all my contacts / apps / email settings back on ???
[Galaxy S III General] ste1164:
Lol the branded phones get the update first. Like when 4.0.4 was released for the S2. Might be because of the BTU that is a good shout.
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Screw Sweden it's old already.

This is what you want:

Base Firmware: I9300XXDLJ1(4.1.1)

Country: United Kingdom

You don't need Factory Reset btw.

But if you want then sync contacts with google and backup apps with Titanium Backup.
[Galaxy S III General] wwatfa:
cool ! thanks mate !

i will do that today and hope it will solve my battery problem !
[Galaxy S III General] ganucci:
When is it for India?
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Just note that H3G is branded. So it had some carrier bloatware. But it's the latest one as of today.
[Galaxy S III General] wwatfa:
will the bloatware affect my phone on another carrier ? will it affect it in any way ? once i root i can remove it?
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Will not affect, you can remove any app you want with Titanium Backup.

Or just wait for the Unbranded BTU if you don't want to mess with it.
[Galaxy S III General] PFC Hudson:
My S3 is branded to 3UK and I don't see any bloatware
[Galaxy S III General] PaulGG:
Using the Spanish update here no problems so far, amazing with Apex. General battery drain is greater in standby, but on screen time has major major improvements seems like a good good trade off, 12 hours with nearly 6 hours screen time all radios on.
[Galaxy S III General] leerock360:
What about dull leds when u have a missed call or when your charging ? Also when u lock the screen with the power button thw water sound is alot lower than on ics. all volumes on max on jelly bean. Phone is faster but idont like the dull leds and the grey status bar either. Sticking with ics.
[Galaxy S III General] P_Jazzy:
I have an unbraded S3. My understanding is that all carriers have to approve the update before it is released hence the delay in getting it at the same time?

Is this true?
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
Come on samsung!!! Not too far off UK unbranded... I hope. I can almost taste those smelly jelly beans, or smell those tasty ones, either way I want it!

Can't wait to not have to use holo Launcher any more - damn Icecream in the sandwhich melts from too much ram use and the screen redraws if I dont use the Hololauncher Icepack to keep it frozen!
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
Is it new though? The Spanish JB released yesterday was identical to the Swedish one, just with the correct CSC for Spain.
[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
Sweden/Spanish is I9300XXDLIH
[Galaxy S III General] anuragvivek93:
I today flashed the Sweden Version of JB.. but my baseband version says I9300XXDLID....... why doesn't it says XXDLIH??

EDIT: Why can't I see the new gallery and multi view? Is it there in JB or not?
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
DLIH changelist : 256827

DLJ1 changelist : 288630
[Galaxy S III General] P_Jazzy:
I have one question.

Will using Odin do the following:

void warranty

wipe device back to factory settings?

stop OTA updates

I have an unlocked S3 and amon THREE at the moment so was thinking of flashing the THREE update
[Galaxy S III General] Alestilohomer:
It's ok. That's because the compikation is DLIH, but the modem/radio is DLID.

On o2 forums at 12.42 today there is note from o2 social media team saying;

Hey guys

Good news! The wait time is almost over for Samsung galaxy s3 users. From tomorrow, 19th Oct, you'll be able to upgrade to the much awaited 4.1 jelly bean update over WiFi or via kies.
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Anyone else using dsixda's kitchen with these ROMs? I have an unbranded ROM which only needs one app removed. Awesome. :)
[Galaxy S III General] tomerstern:
I have an Hungarian S3, rooted and kept the stock rom.

Will I get the JB update OTA or with kies,

OR because I rooted the device, will I never get the update and have to flash it myself?
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Remove root by reflashing the stock rom or use KIES .

jjue
[Galaxy S III General] Jack Barrett:
I had awful battery drain on all leaks before, thats why i kept my ics. Since DLIH battery is awesome!
[Galaxy S III General] Richies113:
No. Sim Lock and ROM's are not linked

[Galaxy S III General] septix:
Anyone knows when Samsung will roll out the official JB update OTA in Sweden? Haven't rooted yet, and don't know when I will. Waiting for the official update for now :)

[Galaxy S III General] SpaceGooner:
What sweet irony. I flashed my phone months back from O2U to BTU to ensure I'd be first in line for stock updates and now it looks like regular O2 UK customers will get JB before me. Oh well at least I haven't got to suffer the crappy jerky O2 boot animation any more.
[Galaxy S III General] xpandnz:
This jb update seems to be causing a lot of unpredictable battery experiences. I also found heavy battery drain while others experience better. Very odd.
[Galaxy S III General] ImS0Raw:
Please do a wipe and install Jelly Bean. After booting into Jelly Bean wipe again in CWM and now start using your phone normally. Worked good for me. My batterylife is sick...
[Galaxy S III General] xpandnz:
Mate, I have done all this stuff before. I have had all sorts of JB updates on my phone during the leak phase including the polish rom. Everytime it goes on my phone, the battery drain is damn awful. So, either Jesus doesn't love me (very likely) or I am one of many who are not getting the battery life that other people are reporting.
[Galaxy S III General] Ush1:
I defaulted my phone before and after I flashed the swedish ROM and the battery drain is significantly worse than on the polish ROM. The Swedish ROM seems smoother but battery is much worse for me.
[Galaxy S III General] mossy1963:
no its not.....its quite normal.....battery metering is often very unpredictable following a flash. it'll settle down after a short while. try fully charging while powered off.

In fact most of the gripes reported are fairly normal after a flash and can be rectified by a reset
[Galaxy S III General] Matcarroll:
Haha, I flashed the latest jelly bean last night as fed up of waiting and then changed csc from o2u to btu so spent 3 hours resorting my phone last night and when I saw this on o2 forums this afternoon was pretty pi$$ed off to say the least!
[Galaxy S III General] xpandnz:
Yup, as mentioned here a billion times, nearly everyone here who has this problem wipes and resets. What your logic suggests is that when I install a ROM, not just JellyBean, my battery may suck and then get better. This argument does not stand up because the moment, not 2 days or 2 weeks later, the moment I or someone goes back to ICS, the battery is fine again.
[Galaxy S III General] wwatfa:
ok

just flashed the UK version of JB

phone seems OK, just turned it off and charging it ... signal was ok and everything else seemed very smooth ! well i will let you all know how it goes when i full test it !

one thing ... i really dont like the boot log of the UK carrier !! any ideas on how to customize the boot on s3 ??
[Galaxy S III General] ImS0Raw:
Try choosing at settings sthat your phone chooses automatically what network it connects with for calls. If that doesn't work try choosing the good one manually. If that doesn't help I wouldn't know what to do...
[Galaxy S III General] wwatfa:
by the way, the upgrade when VERYYYYY smothly !! no issues what so ever to report ! i even rooted it straight away !! all OK !
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:

[Galaxy S III General] fasty:
I assume that a hoard of engineers at Samsung must still be debugging, tuning, tweaking, refining and polishing the BTU code to ensure my utmost ecstatic delight when it finally arrives :laugh:.

[Galaxy S III General] croco-:
So samsung where is the next round of updates? What are you waiting for?
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
Maybe the UK one will be 4.1.2 since Google just released it?

(yeah, right)

I think I saw an article about Android 4.2 offering enforcable encryption or something, which might make some workpalces take it more seriously!

Hope so.
[Galaxy S III General] Snow Monkey:
I'm going to stick my neck on the line and and say that I don't think we'll see UK unbranded update untill the operators have approved their updates!

Logically if the UK unbranded rom has to work on all UK networks then if samsung wait till O2, Vodafone, Orange, T mobile and 3 have all found Jelly bean to be working correctly then the unbranded rom = all the settings from the operators - the branding and bloatware?
[Galaxy S III General] masterex567:
It's already October.

and a final version hasn't released yet.

I'm sort of tired downloading new builds every day.

Any ETA when the final one will be out?
[Galaxy S III General] brainimpact:
unlocked unbranded sim free version does Not have to get carrier approved and it does not have to wait for carriier settings

you can shove a sim in it from any GSM network does that mean we have to wait for all european and NA settings to be added too? of course it does not as its not sim biased it does not care about country it auto detects network and fetches settings non are pre-loaded.
[Galaxy S III General] Andymagyar:
Looks like Monday is the day for Vodafone JellyBean release (according to their community manager)

[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
final of what? final jelly bean? you'll be waiting for a long time - samsung will continue to update the jelly bean roms probably until Android 4.2 - if you mean official samsung release, well that's already happened.

I want to no why Samsung have started to update this way when you had the unlocked version on a phone you used to get the update early but not any more
[Galaxy S III General] croco-:
From what I heard is the same story with htc. Maybe I'm wrong.
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
Tired of waiting but I'm sure it will be worth it =)
[Galaxy S III General] flashflash:
Samsung announced that the ICS update for unbranded S2 handsets would only be released after all the networks approved the firmware. This was to stop complaints if an unbranded handset stop functioning correctly after an update. By waiting, Samsung covered their arses. This never used to be the case, as unbranded always used to get updates first.

Unfortunately it looks like Samsung are doing the same with the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
samsucks at giving us 1 gig and now sucks at updates
[Galaxy S III General] Snow Monkey:
Sorry I was not saying that Samsung had to wait for operators to approve update, Samsung can release ot any time they want but I believe operator settings are pre loaded on device and not fetched! I have unlocked unbranded handset, i have several Sims some contract and some pay and go. If i insert a different sim the handset asks me to confirm for instance pay and go on O2 or contract because settings are different. I have an unlocked i9305 from t mobile and if i put a Vodafone sim in it there are no settings, when my Vodafone sim connects to the network i get a SMS from Vodafone who then send the settings for my handset!

Why wouldn't Samsung wait for all the operators to prove the update and then roll out the update to unbranded as of course the unbranded rom must support ALL networks in the uk. If for instance Samsung push out the btu update today but have got something wrong for one of the operator settings say O2, then everyone on O2 will moan and Samsung will have to push out a fix to all unbranded handsets in another week or two! If it was my choice, my money and my reputation i would let operators do the testing an face any complaints, then when all operators are happy that settings and functions are correct roll it all up and send out the update to unbranded handsets!

Of course that's just my view and time will tell.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
So it looks like some time in November for the unlocked
[Galaxy S III General] neo6776:
Does it?

Where have you seen this? I count 13 days including today left of October....
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
so we have to wait for all the locked version to be sorted out first
[Galaxy S III General] Snow Monkey:
Not necessarily, it's down to Samsung! It looks like we will have to wait and see. If Samsung rush it out and get something wrong like settings for Vodafone for example, it will probably be the Vodafone support lines that light up like a christmas tree with complaints from all the people with vodafone sims in their unbranded handsets. If I were samsung I would wait until the operators are hapy then push the update with confidence that the update will work on all UK networks.

Also if a carrier does not support the S3 (ie sell them) officially then samsung will not wait for them!
[Galaxy S III General] flashflash:
Yes its down to Samsung, but if they are taking the same route as they did when updating S2, they will only release the unbranded version when all the uk operators have approved it. That way they pass the blame onto the carrier if there is any issue with the firmware. There was a huge fuss over the S2 unbranded ICS update and they were forced to release a statement confirming the above.
[Galaxy S III General] brainimpact:
Samsung just like to force people not backed by carriers to void their warranty by going down the modding root, potentially could save them S*** loads
[Galaxy S III General] ganucci:
Any idea when is it for India guys
[Galaxy S III General] mihqke:
Looks like I have to change my S3 to nexus. I didn't bought One X because bad battery and now looks like Samsung is also turning backs to us with updates.
[Galaxy S III General] Jens Christensen:
Why? Does the last third of October not count as October?

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

No, they're not. They can't be held responsible for what other people say. And, just for the record, I don't like waiting for JB either but this thread is turning into a hissy fit.
[Galaxy S III General] neo6776:

[Galaxy S III General] neo6776:
Its still October. Its being rolled out already. Plenty of people have it already.

Why do people seem to think that software development is easy? They have to make sure everything works like smartstay, S voice etc etc, CPU drivers, GPU drivers, modems, wifi drivers etc etc etc etc. The list goes on.

[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
The AOSP stuff strips out touchwiz doesn't it generally? Hence me wanting something official.

4.2 sounds like THE version for tighter, security conscious business to allow Android devices on their network. It's the one thing I miss from my iphone. Damn msuite.
[Galaxy S III General] wizzbang3:
I've seen some articles discussing why Android as it currently is, will never be as smooth as ios unfortunately. Some posts on Google+ about a year back from some pretty cluey developers.

I think Apple stops EVERYTHING going on in the background the second you touch the screen, so you get 100% UI focus and smoothness.

If you touch an Apple display while a web page is still loading and you scroll it down, it won't continue loading that page until your finger lifts.

If you do the same on Android, it will continue doing stuff in the background, means Apple 'feels smoother'

Also Apple takes a screenshot, when you quit a program it takes a tricky screenshot, when you re-open the app, it just displays the cached screenshot instantly then the program loads behind into it seamlessly, by the time your eyes have found what you want to press, it's actually lie again - all seamless.

You have to hand it to them, it is clever design.

4.2 has more security focus, there's 2 good articles over at AndroidPolice.
[Galaxy S III General] mossy1963:
KIES has just informed me that some components require updating for firmware management...a precursor of an imminent event?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Android will never be like iOS and thank f*ck for that. iOS prioritizes UI fluidness, that's why all background apps are frozen when left, and that breaks true multitasking. Android keeps apps in memory when pressing the home button, which makes for awesome multitasking. If too much ram is used by apps, android will successively kill some apps to free up RAM. I believe the UI can be smooth without breaking multitasking, and Jellybean has proved that to me by at least 95%.

I've had a Gnex with Jellybean, and my S3 is nowhere close in fluidness.

My take on JB, after I have tested Poland, Sweden and now UK version (battery issues ok for me)

No Note II like Gallery nor Multiview

Project butter's like makin phone 10-20% fast although way better than ICS

Still taking time to open Phone App and Contacts app and not fixed.
