Those are all leaks we got nearly 2 months ago.

I have a thread with all leaked and official firmware and OTAs. Here's the link but you can find it in the development stickies.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1949687

There is no word on when we will get the JB official release. The only official word we did get was "in the coming months".

UVALJ4 was officially released a couple of weeks ago, I believe partly as maintenance update in preparation for JB. Trust me, once its released you will have to TRY, really hard, to not know about it! Within an hour of just the announcement you will see threads about it everywhere!!!

None of the JB leaks we have could really be considered daily drivers. Each one has its quirks and while ok to use, they just have issues that need addressing. If you are willing to try a custom rom, our devs have put together some amazing ones based on the leaks. And while they still have little issues are quite capable of being a dd.

The biggest issue plaguing the later leaks is battery drain. There are other bugs too, but that's the biggie!

Consider this, many of us here don't quite get all the impatience and eagerness for JB. Our current ICS builds are really very good as is. And JB isn't going to add a lot to it imo. From a dev standpoint I am very much looking forward to the release to play with it, but from a user standpoint, I'm perfectly happy with ICS!

Hope that helps!

Nope. Well we sorta did, but in the end the info we got about the official release was wrong.

I am fairly sure that its more in the hands of tmobile than Samsung at this point. Which would likely mean that if we were to luck out and get an inside person, they would have to be with Tmobile. Remember, tmobile will decide when JB is released for us, not Samsung. The other carriers leaks and releases really can't give us much insight into tmobiles workings. They are all different with different policies and goals. Tmobile could just as easily be next as they could be last for all we know!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scifan:
I concur...

For the most part, the leaks leave something to be desired when it comes to battery life in particular... but there are other quirks with various applications (camera/gallery) and other quirks... (OR they're ported from another device/platform and have a kernel that may have minor issues... )
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Ive been around to understand that flashing a ROM has sometimes been the better choice than waiting for an ota specially coming from OEMS. I guess the reason I'm waiting instead of flashing is because the stock features are more attractive to me than the features of cooked ROMs. I've been following the threads of some of the jb ones and get discouraged when I see things like imei getting lost, or broken functions, etc. Nothing against that but after going through trial after trial with the sgs1, the sgs2 and all the processes that are required for trying out every ROM, ive gotten to the point that I need stability. Its not that JM impatient. I agree with you 100% when it comes to ICS functionality its perfect for my everyday needs. I don't need the job update bit just poking curiosity. Thanks for the insightful reply.

But I aqm still on 4.0.4 ... I want to get Jelly Bean... which I believe is 4.1.1 could you please tell me why I can't get JB over stock?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Jb hasn't officially been released. We only have leaked/experimental builds. And to apply any update you must first be on the build required by the update.

Look over my firmware thread. Everything is listed including install instructions which will explain exactly why you can't update to jb when your on the latest official release!

Its stickied in the dev section.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kpdadroid:
Thanks, I will.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] adracup:
If we have one of these leaks, will we still receive the ota?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Nope. You will only receive the ota if you are 100% stock UVALJ4.

---------- Post added at 12:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:31 AM ----------

And don't worry, id say there's a 90% chance we will know when its coming before its actually released.

And as soon as I get my hands on the ota and firmware for it ill have it posted in my fw thread for download.

Cool thank you :)

I'm annoyed, my brother has the Note II and keeps sticking it in my face with 4.2...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
I thought the note two launched with 4.1 not 4.2. The only phone with that is the nexus lg
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
True, the T-Mobile note 2 is released with 4.1.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Linofer:
Does anyone know when Tmobile is going to release JB ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scifan:
I've had a reputable source tell me next Wednesday... take that with a grain of salt...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Boweezie:
He meant to say 4.1.1 not 4.2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
So this wed huh? Wonder if that's true when Tmobile will release the documentation
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Tomorrow is the big day. Haven't fpu d a post online about it. Tmoneqs isn't reporting anything. Tmobile forum nothing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
I'm sure it's all hearsay but it would be nice, HTC has a history of publicly announcing releases like this a week or two before it actually happens as a roll out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scifan:
Well... sales reps don't always know when things are due out, however I thought that the info was legit because she seemed to have asked someone else to verify. Whatever the case, we'll see...

Reality is I won't be very surprised if it doesn't drop tomorrow...

Can this be flashed over a custom rom using mobile Odin? And if so, how can I prevent losing root?

Yes. Thats the full fw not the update.

Mobile Odin pro, EverRoot option will keep you rooted.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
Yes.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] pcriz:
Wow the only thread talking about the new 4.2 OTA is closed and the last post in this one is from November.

Seems kind of asinine to force the all OTA discussion to one cluttered thread.

Ahh well Yes Mien Further!

This was originally posted by TheSeanTeam but his thread got closed *eye roll*

http://www.sammobile.com/2012/12/05/...-new-features/
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Actually, I believe many here would agree with closing the thread. Once the first one comes up, dozens tend to follow. For some reason a lot of people either don't want to search, don't want to post in existing threads, and I'm sure a few just want to be the one who breaks the news. Either way, every time a leak or official release is rumored, or other devices get an update, we end up with tons of duplucate threads. That gets cluttered and kind of annoying to a lot of people.

Just because the last post was a few weeks ago doesn't mean the thread is dead. Especially when its been stickied for a specific purpose. Not arguing, just informing. This is directed at all, not just you.

When you have duplicate threads you wind up getting asked the exact same questions over and over. And for those who do search it makes it harder to find their answers.

Hope that helps to clear it up a little. And thanks for posting here rather than attempting yet another thread!

So, does anyone ever heard anything about a 4.2 OTA? Do you guys think Samsung is going to release a new update do S3 ?

Next OTA is going to 4.1.2

hey guys! I have a galaxy s3 from tmobile hungary and about a month ago I have updated my phone with odin to the official hungarian 4.1.2 rom for the unlocked devices. The question is: in the future will I get ota updates or not? If yes then the tmobile hungary roms or the unlocked roms? Thx for the help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rcsrich:
Is this really the case? The only Kies app I see on the Market (besides some podcast app) is Kies Air- wouldn't think this has anything to do with OTA firmware updates. The Market lists this app as being current on my S3, but no dice with getting the OTA update to work...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jay4mont78:
OTA 'bs?

Anyone think the new OTA is BS? I only ask because battery is crap after it. Does anyone have the modem link update flashable in odin? I ash cause even though I have a rooted phone, I dont feel like having to flash any zip with a custom boot loader like CWM. BTW does anyone here have 4ext yet? Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Update kies on computer and you can update your phone.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Nope. Have better reception and non issues. I am running completely stock though. Oh and battery is objective. Its going to suck if you use your phone all day constantly. I use my phone mainly foe calls, browsing and minimal things like maps, etc. Battery lasts me a good day and a half.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jay4mont78:
I object, before, I would get almost two days with my battery beforw the update, now I get about a day with it, and thats with minimal use. My question was if anyone can.extract the modem/ radios update to flash with odin. I reverted back to the uvdlja updaye when it was back In oct 2012, when jb was updated from the stock.rom from 4.0.4, this new one is bs, batt is terrible, I dont even use my phone that much and it drains with barely any use.

I got my s3 about two weeks ago I was also getting that message when I looked for update . I kept trying and it eventually went through BUT IT WAS NOT 4.1.2. Supposedly its a update that fix some security issues, I think its a update that preps up for the 4.1.2 update

please any tellme why?

thanks...

Well arw you using a non tmobile sim card and service. If will only push updates if you are registered on the tmobile network. There is a firmware thread in the stickies section of development. Ypu can find out how to manually update that way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scifan:
Perhaps he has an international S3 w/ an Exynos quad core cpu which Samsung already pushed 4.1.2 out for?

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] =JSG=:
I have had a Xperia ION for about 2 months, couple days ago I received my Xperia S because it is factory unlocked. One thing I noticed the Xperia S screen looks washed out, colors and details are not vivid compared to the ion. Has anyone else noticed this? I am looking at them right now side by side.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dyjin:
Yeah same! thought for a second my xperia s was defective or something lol

i compared it with my old xperia Arc, and the arc color contast was more vivid.

very strange..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] =JSG=:
So looks like Sony decided to put a cheaper screen on the S and to make us happy they installed an illumination bar :mad:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dpk1:
I've checked my XS and Ion side by side with display brightness at 100% and i don't find any difference in the screen (with bravia engine off), but there is definitely some difference (on ICS) with BE on, as the photos are enhanced in Ion but not on my XS coz BE doesn't work for photos in my XS (on ICS) :(!

So, i think the difference is not due to the difference in screen quality but perhaps owing to the BE bug in the XS ICS rom!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] keewanchoapsss:
It's comon knowledge that the bravia engine on the xps doesn't work as Sony made a mess of the software. That's why it doesn't look as good. If the s did have a working bravia engine then there would be little or no difference in quality, except the better density in the s.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] s-X-s:
For all those mourning about BE not working in photos (album) check this... on .45 stoke rom... image taken by xperia s..

Bravia Engine On

Bravia Engine Off
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] =JSG=:
Bravia engine probably has something to do with it but I think they are two different LCD panels. I have an IPS LCD screen and a TN LCD screen sitting side by side, Comparing the two you will get same color/detail loss on the TN panels.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dpk1:
So, are you saying that we should see your screenshots and pretend that the BE is working fine for all of us too? Or are you saying that Ion screen indeed has better quality that XS screen (with working BE)? Actually, there are many XS owners who have BE bug on ICS, and only recently i have found that there are those who don't & have BE working fine.

I pointed out the BE bug because i think that it is probably the reason why OP finds a difference between XS & Ion screens, as when I tested both with BE off there was no difference.

P.S. I will compare the two again and confirm if I find any difference.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dyjin:
NO no guys..no

He means the LCD Screen itself. Bravia engine does not run on homescreen. if you compare the Ion Screen with the Xperia S, you will see the Xperia S has more gamma, therfor color seems to be a lil bit washed out.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] strongful:
I've had my xperia s for about six months now at first I really used to like this phone but now my love for xps is fading fast, first and foremost the browser is painfully slow it doesn't matter which app I use to substitute for the browser the problem remains sony have not done nothing at all to improve this, this is my first sony mobile and it will be my last.

Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] =JSG=:
I am talking about the LCD panel, you have to put two phones side by side to notice the difference.

I don't have any browser issues, I think it might be your connection. This is a great phone, Sony always thinks creatively and this is why they always have the best looking phones in the market IMO.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] s-X-s:
I just pointed the BE issue... i dont have Ion or never seen a US released phone here ... from Ginberbread to all updates to ICS i have been checking BE.. it never not worked... May be u own xperia s with BE bug
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] =JSG=:
I thought BRAVIA engine is only for pictures and video?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] s-X-s:
Your thoughts are right... its for enhancing pictures n video viewing experience.. i donn these guys are refering it to home screen where launcher is in action...

More over here http://developer.sonymobile.com/2012/06/21/mobile-bravia-engine-explained-video/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dpk1:
Of course the BE works only for photos and videos!

NO, i never said BE enhances the homescreen or launcher appearance. With BE on/off i'm only referring to comparing the two LCD screens while viewing photos/pics in the album. Moreover, i don't compare the homecreens but rather photos/videos for determining any difference (in quality) between the LCD screens :cool:!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] =JSG=:
Exactly, so why is everyone talking about BE when I am talking about the LCD screen itself lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Dpk1:
^ Had you been specific in your first post that you are referring to plain homescreen (and not anything else), i think nobody here would've mentioned/ talked about BE!

And btw i checked again today and i can't really see any difference between the XS or Ion screens (i.e comparing just the homescreens). Also, slight difference in screen temperature even between same phone models is normal.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zodiac100:
Sorry but bravia works fine on mine with. 453 uk Rom. I can tell the difference immediately with it on or off.

I seriously doubt the ion has a better screen because it's bigger with same resolution. It might have better viewing angles. Who knows but the higher pixel density of the S gives it an advantage in my view.

I think the S has just become the phone everyone likes to bash. Justified or not. It's a great device just one that's crippled by poor software.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] =JSG=:
I'm not bashing the phone, I was just curious to see if anyone else noticed the same thing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
Personally I think the Xperia S has the best screen on the market. Nothing I have seen even compares to it. Sure other phones may have better viewing angles but the brightness and sharpness on the Xperia S screen are second to none.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thejosetree:
Best display so far is iPhone 4&4S screens. Their only problem is that are too smalls.

I would say the S screen is easily one of the best on the market. Can't tell any real difference between this and the ion tho.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thejosetree:
unfortunately the Xperia ion has also a much better screen than the Xperia t (Better contrast and viewing angles) :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] louis.b:
LOL Xperia S' display and best in the market can never be in the same sentence. Sure it's very crisp and bright. But colours look washed out easily and just a slight tilt the whole screen looks washed out. Best screen on the market: iPhone 4s/5 = HOX > Ion = LG optimus 4x HD = Motorola Atrix HD (never seen them in person but have seen a lot of videos about them) > Sony Xperia S, not taking into phones that havent been released yet.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Daniel_GB:
i think u should really watch that video...

Xperia S is totally better than iPhone 4S...just watch that comparison!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] louis.b:
I dont need to watch a video to know which one is better. I work for a phone store so I have a lot of exposure to iPhone 4s and I personally own a Sony Xperia S.

[HTC Sensation] cmangalos:
hi guys,

im planning to swap my phone to htc sensation 4g. tmobile. im currently using optimus 3d p920.

the question is, are t-mobile 4g sensations are somewhat different to other sensations when it comes to flashing? i meant there are somr carriers who does not support tethering right? or you can flash any rom on tmobile htc sensation?
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
as far as i know if you S-OFF your device and supercid then you can install whatever rom you like
[HTC Sensation] cmangalos:
thanks for the reply.

i saw a thread before, though i cannot find it now, and based on that thread, there is a different way to flash roms to at&t sensation phones.

i am physically located in the philippines and i havent tried international phones ever since, i always use the local ones.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi there, I am T-Mobile sensation 4g. I can confirm that yes as long as you are S-off you can flash any Rom to your sensation you like. Just make sure you have the correct firmware for the Rom you are wanting to run. Rule of thumb is ICS roms run on android 3.32 or 3.33. Firmware. Very important. 3.33 is the newest firmware but most ics roms run on both . As long as your soff and have the correct firmware your good to go. I highly recommend you using 4ext recovery also. It's a easy to use recovery that most of us use . Some roms actually are not booting unless 4 ext is installed. It's extremely easy to use and you will love it. It makes flashing a breeze. Remember before you flash to always do a nandroid backup . This is for your protection. If you have an issue you can easily restore your backup. Hope this information has helped you some. Don't worry about T-Mobile. I enjoy any Rom I want whenever I want to flash without any issues. Best wishes !

sent from HTC sensation, soff, 3.33 firmware, viper Rom, sense 4.1, mugen battery. please press thanks if I helped in anyway. :)
