I got my upgrade to jellybean aswell last night, I had to go through kies as ota was busy.

There's no major improvements but I am loving the tweaks so far. The notification bar is looking so much better with the date, new settings switch & open / close bar lighting up.

I'm not to fond of the black bar when viewing photos in gallery but will probably download a new gallery app tonight.

Dead rising is probably the strongest graphic using game I play and it runs as smooth as errr butter.

I've started setting up my Google now and will need to give it a week or so to see how it makes my life easier but I like the new layout for it and voice options available.

The new stock keyboard is also much better imho. All in all, I'd say it's a good update.

Hopefully the battery will improve with further updates but I charge every night anyway

[Galaxy S III General] banone:
For eons now all I've gotten when checking for update is "not available"

Now i get "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later"

Has anybody seen this? Does it mean it's just around the corner? I mean, I've been requesting this for quite some time now :)

Edit: nvm. It's probably the server which is busy. I'll keep on trying.
[Galaxy S III General] stunno:
It means that the update for you is out but they are rationing the download to save their servers. Your turn will be soon :)

Is it possible to flash this using Mobile Odin?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S III General] sids911:
I completely agree. XDA in the recent times has become a wild west. There was a time when the XDA-Developers was a real development community and could actually come across as noob friendly. But the amount of grossness that happens these days is unbelievably juvenile.
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
Ah ha! Hadn't noticed that. I did know it could be turned off, just not that you can choose a term. Thanks for that.
[Galaxy S III General] DoppelgängerGER:
I think you can flash with Mobile Odin, it also works with zip - Files
[Galaxy S III General] MrMarky:
Thanks again KennyLegend.

I wish I could answer yes to that, but alas it's all "greek" to this noob :(

I think (unless you guys can persuade me otherwise) that I'll maybe stick with ICS.

I really do not want to turn my lovely S3 into a "cuboid building block" :)

I may update the girlfriends and see if this JB is really worth the risk ;) Seems like some people are having trouble with it already !!!

Oh well, I'll just keep reading and learning about all this Flashing/Rooting etc and may be back soon :D

Thanks again, and carry on persuading me :D

[Galaxy S III General] Claytop:
Anyone had the problem off WI-FI disconnecting when going into sleep mode and having to scan again for it when waking phone up?
[Galaxy S III General] BOZG:
It's a very simple process!

Download ODIN from here. You'll need to unzip and launch the application.

Download the latest unbranded UK firmware from here.

In ODIN, click on PDA and locate the firmware file that you just downloaded. Make sure that repartition is not ticked.

Turn off your phone and put it in Download mode - Hold Home + Volume Down + Power button (in that order).

Click Start in ODIN. It will take 2 or 3 minutes after which your phone should restart. You know have JB.

You may however have to do a factory reset if anything goes wrong so it's good to have a back up of any important data. It's also recommended that you did a factory reset anyway because it reduces the risks of conflicts but it's not absolutely necessary.
[Galaxy S III General] neils31:
Its a feature, check your wireless settings in advanced
[Galaxy S III General] MrMarky:
WOW !!!

Thanks very much BOZG :good:

That's what I call a simplified guide (which is just as well for me) :o

I think even

I

might be able to follow that with success ;)

Just one other thing.... (maybe 2)

What is the best way to back up all my files, settings and apps ?

I've gone into the Backup/Restore menu in my S3, it's all ticked and states my Gmail account...is that OK ?

Lastly, will after doing this, my phone then think it's from the UK and be able to receive future updates, or will I need to somehow change the CSC which is currently I9300OZSBLI1 (Korean ???)

Thanks again for you help, it's much appreciated.

Mark.
[Galaxy S III General] Flash_Gordon:
Aahhh - so the exact same files I used last week, to re-root my ICS version (after small firmware update), I can re-use to root my Jelly Bean version???

[Galaxy S III General] danb21t:
Hi Guys,

I have an issue with simlock since updating to the Unbranded UK Jelly Bean.

The upgrade itself went fine but noticed that it unrooted and the sims lock is back.

Obviously I rooted again and exhausted the nv_data.bin hex edit work around. Sadly it has not worked now.

I then tried to go back to 4.0.4 but the phone hung at the boot screen; oh crap!

I'm back on JB but need a work around for my simlock problem.

Any ideas?

TIA

Dan

How do you change the Google now voice from Male to Female on the UK Samsung gs3?
[Galaxy S III General] septix:
I think the update made my phone more laggy, I don't ave any apps running. But it's not as smooth as ICS
[Galaxy S III General] cakahraman:
Thank you very much. i really needed that.
[Galaxy S III General] bedouin1995:
Hy everyone, so i bought the allshare cast dongle back when i was on ics 4.0.4 and it was working perfectly,but when i flashed cm10 jb on my sgs3 it didnt have the allshare cast option.is there a way to get allshare cast on jellybean please respond i need for my work
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Why can't you restore back to the ICS that worked for you?
[Galaxy S III General] bedouin1995:
My phone was laggy and i didnt like the user interface in ics. but jb is smooth and really fast ;)
[Galaxy S III General] beaver2233:
Use a Samsung based jb, not CM10.
[Galaxy S III General] boki33:
Jelly Bean comes around 11,12 September.
[Galaxy S III General] manny315:
No, don't think so... JB will come when SGS4 is released next year.
[Galaxy S III General] InsteadWoolf:
I hope that Samsung releases the final and great JB FinnaLLY release 'til September 12th! I can't stand no more flash a new ''Leak'' everyday. This is not funny!!! But is funny... (bipolar)
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
I think I've found a fix for the redraw...

Go task manager, lock touch wiz in the ram. Just this alone doesn't fix it, but then find all the other apps you mainly use such as browsers, chat apps games etc that you frequently use so that they remain in the ram more and there for, when you open them they don't kick touch wiz out of the memory and it doesn't need to redraw, that's my understanding of the theory behind it... whatever, tried it an hour ago and been power using since with no redraw yet.
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
so i went to task manager but can't find an option to lock TW..
[Galaxy S III General] Snappy Phoenix:
Someone said he got the OTA update for JB so we should expect it soon

I cant post links >> http: / /ww w.android.gs/update-samsung-galaxy-s3-to-android-4-1-jelly-bean/
[Galaxy S III General] ausdim:
After other thread's closed i post again here one more Google Drive link.

[Nandroid][4.1.1]-XXDLI2

The Nandroid is already Rooted..

Also the kernel from XXDLI2 with 833Mb Ram.

And the modem.

(All is extracted by me)

Thank's
[Galaxy S III General] ohyesman:
:cyclops::eek: WWWOWW

I think the main thing that needs to be addressed is the horrenous ram useage TW uses - its far far to much and straight after boot your lucky to have 150/200 mb of free ram left. If JB update resolves this and we get more ram available then i'll be happy!!!

Extra free ram in total shows that its at least heading in the right direction - should give more free ram at least

Sad that no note2 new gallery for leak so far, but the original note got an update with s3 launcher and note2 gallery

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HkixyhGDbGA
[Galaxy S III General] radeonxt:
don't worry.

i know samsung will surely do everything to beat icrapple in every aspect.

spiral and that other one effect of scrolling in gallery is beautiful, they have to put it in our beautiful,sexy phone too.

people who are still about to buy and see nice and beautiful things will buy it.

they want more people to buy it? put em all beautiful stuff in there so that they won't look anywhere else.
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
FM radio has been the same in all these leaks
[Galaxy S III General] kersey:
Very impressed with the latest LI2 leak. Haven't encountered any problems from using since earlier today.

Have actually taken a liking to the Touch Wiz launcher too (due to Nova's transparency issue).

More than happy until the 'official' upgrade is released :)
[Galaxy S III General] NIK516:
has anyone mentioned that the new optus Australia s3 is running 4.1.1 jb , it is 4g . And should be out in a few weeks so I assume if that is coming out soon so will jb for us ?
[Galaxy S III General] garyd9:
All these leaks are coming out every 2 days, have changes and are recent compiles (at least of the kernel.) Based on that, I'd take an educated guess that the official release is still a few weeks away.

In fact, I wouldn't expect an official release until at least one week (and more likely 2-3 weeks) after the leaks slow down and/or stop showing significant changes.

It's poor development practice to "officially" release untested code, and we can see that any "new" change in a leak is, at most, 2 days old when it's being leaked to us. A decent dev shop needs at least a week to finalize any builds, make archival backups, clean up any typos, get approvals from whatever product chain of commands might exist, etc. This assumes the build has already passed any internal quality control. In most shops, that process can take several weeks...

IF samsung releases the JB build officially in the next week or two, I'd expect that there will be a followup "bug fix" release very soon afterwards...
[Galaxy S III General] gavinfabl:
I reckon the official release will be on the same day as Apples iPhone 5 release.. Plus Samsung will add some nice extras into rom.

[Galaxy S III General] Tilgi:
Please tell us, this is a joke? :eek:

You are able to run CM10 on you SGS3 but you don't now where to find a Stock Samsung JB Rom around here??? Seriously? :D
[Galaxy S III General] bedouin1995:
No it's not.i never heard of samsung based jb, i just want to know how to get the allshare cast option on jb
[Galaxy S III General] Tilgi:
Mhh okay... here you go: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

Take the first Rom, XXDLJ4 and flash it like described.

Remember there will be wiped everything, because you used CM10 before, so Backup everything you want to keep (for example with titanium backup in play store).

But please tell how could you be able to flash CM10 etc. from here and you weren't able to notice that there is Stock ROM Jelly Bean available since 2 or 3 weeks... no offence, but very weird ;)

Just checked for any software updates on my phone (o2 branded) and it started downloading an update 286 mb) this must be jellybean right?!
[Galaxy S III General] chaz81:
Rub it in :) that would be right
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
do it with kies
[Galaxy S III General] chaz81:
I'd love to. But some bastard stole my laptop. So just gotta wait :$
[Galaxy S III General] shorty_blitz:
Lol yes I can confirm I now have jellybean

Haven't played around with it yet!
[Galaxy S III General] punkyguy:
You aren't! I'm on a UK unbranded phone and i'm still getting "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later". I didn't want to risk downloading a firmware from hotfile etc and try flashing it but looks like i'll have to,
[Galaxy S III General] ste1164:
Why don't you use kies?
[Galaxy S III General] Smartie36:
I suggest you give up with ota, I was getting that same msg all yesterday afternoon and even when I tried late last night it was still telling me try again later, I ended up using Odin to update my s3 to jelly bean.
[Galaxy S III General] septix:
Yes Sir, that's the update!
[Galaxy S III General] slashnburn:
That's what md5 checking is for. If you load it as a .tar.md5 into mobile odin, it will ask you if you want to check the file. Allow it to do so. Never had a corrupt file from Hotfile...

[Galaxy S III General] Willie_Heckerslyke:
I'm not gonna rush to update to JB coz I've unrooted and gone back to stock and can now use/update through Kies (not that I ever will though....), so it's a kosher phone again :)

I've been able to use Sky Go on it 'trouble free' since unrooting about a month ago. Sky have been dragging their feet about supporting JB, but I had one of those online 'chat' sessions with a Sky rep the other day, and he confirmed that JB was going to be supported on their currently supported devices "before christmas".....though he didn't say which christmas!! :p

I think I'd miss it now tbh, so I'm gonna hang on until it's officially supported by Sky before upgrading..... TBH though, I'm quite happy with ICS anyway, so it's no big hardship...
[Galaxy S III General] nicky041192:

I am on vodafone uk and never got an OTA so decided to do it via kies and i get stuck for hours at the "preparing upgrade components "Window.It just freezes there .But unlike you i dont get the notice in the little window.

Dont know what else to do.
[Galaxy S III General] punkyguy:
I didn't know it had CRC checking built in to it. Thanks for letting me know. :good: I thought the OTA update was coming so didn't think it was worth worrying about getting the right dirmware and making sure it flashes OK.
[Galaxy S III General] patriotaki:
I just flashed the cm10 ROM on my gs3 all worked perfectly until I installed the adobe flash player for jb from xda and when I take a picture with stock camera app gallery crashes :( anyone ha king the same issue?

As above, was wary about downloading from uploading sites but also worried about getting the right ROM etc. Was hoping the OTA would come sooner rather than later
[Galaxy S III General] ste1164:
Kies is official Samsung software you download it from their servers. You will get the right version.
[Galaxy S III General] oliseo:
I wouldn't get too excited about JellyBean.

I got minimal improvement at the expense of the WiFi bug.

In that, I had to disable power saving mode by going into *#0011#, WIFI.

Otherwise whenever my WiFi disconnects, I had to reset my phone to get it to reconnect.

You cannot believe how annoying that is.

Especially as it drains the battery so much.

Do a Google Search for "Jelly Bean WiFi Issue"

Annoying as...
[Galaxy S III General] mossy1963:
that message is nothing to do with the firmware upgrade. Its trying to tell you it needs to replace some components in Kies. You should NOT have your phoned connected. Let Kies upgrade. turn PC off and on (shouldn't be vital, but no harm).

Then load Kies, connect phone and see if it connects and offers a FW upgrade
[Galaxy S III General] chaz81:
Mine didn't seem it were doing anything. Just put it on and leave it mate. It sorts itself out

---------- Post added at 10:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 PM ----------

Got to say. Much snappier. And if you actually use your phone then Google now is going to be a great assett. Especially if you travel every morning :) also the calendar is much much better. If you've not got the update yet, it is worth the wait :)
[Galaxy S III General] patriotaki:
How much different it is from cm10 ROM?
[Galaxy S III General] uxaar:
I understand that you want to help but you got all the things wrong.

First of all i've done the kies updtate before everithing else.

Once that has finished it told me that there is a firmware upgrade for my phone.

Then i connected the phone and once it has been recognized a little window poped up asking if i want to upgrade.And this is the message i am getting.

" A new firmware version is available.Upgrading may improve the performance of GALAXY S III .Do you want to upgrade?"

I press "start update"

On the next window it tells me

"downloading firmware upgrading components" and then on next window

"preparing firmware upgrading components" where it gets stuck.......

Can anyone tell me if on ICS roms, the stock Music Player would retain the position on a music after stop/pause it for a while or even after a reset of SGS3 ?!?! When I go back to play a music, if a large time has been passed or if I reset the SGS3, the music starts from the beginning...

I never had a ICS rom installed so I don't know how was the behavior of this on a ICS rom...

This behavior was is like pre-historic !!!! I had this when I had my old Desire HD, and the Sense music players did this, and it was on Sense 2.x, it was corrected if I remember on Sense 3.0...

Wake up Samsung!!!

I'm now using Google Play, but I would love to use the music stock player cause I feel that the equalizer from the stock music player is batter than the stock equalizer, MusicFx

Nothing yet. I've got a very good feeling that we'll get the best one and everyone else is beta testing it for us. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
Despite how funny that may sound, I've actually found it to be quite true for Ics roms on my S3 and my brother's S2. In general, roms from Asian regions tend to be much more stable and lag free compared to their western counterparts probably because they're released much later so the bugs have been ironed out. I've never tried Indian roms, but I've tried several other regions and they were always the best

So I'll expect this to be true for jellybean as well
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Because Kies is a failed excuse of a program. It's ****.

Use ODIN or Mobile Odin to flash an odin tar of the latest ROM. The only things nowadays that Sammobile is useful for, is uploading odin tars of the latest softwares.
[Galaxy S III General] uxaar:
Well...it worked ...eventually.

But it took longer than i have expected...around 90 min.

Dont get me wrong.

90 min is not that long but i have expected it to upgrade within 30 min as they claim.

Yeasterday seeing that nothing moves after 30 or 40 min i presumed that is not upgrading when actually was runnning in the background allright all that time.

But today i've decided to let it run much longer and see what happens and it worked .
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
By the way, I thought jellybean stock roms used a grey status bar. Why is mine still black? Is it because I didn't do a wipe? Or does the DLJ4 rom simply use a black status bar?

Edit: Nevermind. It is grey; just hard to notice unless you compare side by side with a black one.
