[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
I'm excited. The ported releases showed a lot of promise but were just too buggy for me. They did however fix a major bluetooth bug that has plagued both Samsung devices I've used with ICS (SII LTE, SIII) my car.

Looks like we may get it before AT&T users too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bigjim1488:
Bastards!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
So does Samsung control the updates like they did with some of the galaxy nexus models? Or is this only for certain carriers?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
Samsung released the OS to the carriers months ago presumably. The carriers tested it and bloated them up. Samsung stated that it will begin rolling out on Monday so I would assume this means at least the Big 3 will begin rolling it out first.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] S7icky:
I asked bell a week ago on twitter and they told me 6-8 weeks..... and when i asked samsung about bell telling me that they didnt answer.... so iono i really dont think we are gonna see it monday...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I agree. Maybe one carrier will push the ota but all three on same day sounds too good to be true. I bought an unlocked telus model yesterday, knowing my luck telus won't release update until 2013 lol. Heres hoping it's all 3 major carriers!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
You can't take anything the carrier says as truth. Their reps do not know the answer and anything they give is purely speculation or a rumour they are pushing forward. Carrier reps always find out a day before or on the day of release for the most part about new services/features.

This news came directly from Samsung. Does this mean everyone will get the update on Monday? Probably not but we should start seeing some staggering rollouts to customers and to the rest with each passing day.

I'll start unfreezing my Rogers and Samsung bloat in TBP on Sunday in hopes I get the update on Monday.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zaghy2zy:
I'll wait for a CWM/TWRP flashable version... It's bound to happen shortly once it is released... Otherwise I'll have to unroot or something...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Curtox:
This is fantastic news, and great timing for all of us who snagged one over the weekend through the Black Friday deal for $0 from Telus. I already love this phone as it is!

GS3 Jelly Bean Release Date

Do you mean your work newsfeed at bell?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zehlek:
Hopefully we still be getting very soon. I was so used to 4.1.1 on my galaxy nexus
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yulet:
When I had Galaxy Note, Big 3 released the Ice Cream Sandwich update on the same day.

It is not something unbelievable.

Sent from my SGH-I747M
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mymusicathome:
Doubt it will be Monday. Doesn't the carriers have to add bloat and test it on the network? I would say close to the 15th.

Once it is released people will start complaining about when 4.2.1 will be released. Want the fastest android updates? Get a nexus. Want the best hardware? Don't get a nexus and go cm custom rom. I wouldn't be surprised if cm10.1 was released before 4.1.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747M
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Devhux:
If Samsung is announcing the availability, it means the carriers have already tested it and are ready to release it. It may be all of them, it may only be one or two to start, but some Canadian Galaxy S III owners should get the upgrade notice on Monday.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ejatds:
they said 'it will be available as an ota update on monday' meaning that it's already been tested my carriers. and it doesn't take a week for carriers to test it, more like months and months with the snail pace they usually go by. the update's been out for months internationally, and weeks for tmo and sprint.can't wait for google now! missed it coming from my nexus s
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lap777:
HD Voice

I hope that Bell will add support for HD Voice in this release! They support the Note II after all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
There is a hardware dependency for this. IIRC, the GS3 does not have a wideband receiver.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BCSC:
There are multiple reports that the S3 does support HD Voice. Many actually claim that the S3 was the first phone capable of it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
That's interesting. I read a report from Rogers shortly after the iPhone 5 launched showing all of the supported devices and the S3 wasn't listed. It would be great if it is indeed supported.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] otoolerc:
How did you "ask" Bell? And if you say you asked a customer service rep, simply do not respond so I can save you from ridicule. :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] S7icky:
A wonderful thing called Twitter.... Google it dumbass

---------- Post added at 11:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:33 PM ----------

Lol and even after Samsung said that bell still says the same thing.....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
They won't tell you, they simply do not know. Even if they did know a firm date, the carrier employees in-the-know are instructed to keep that information confidential.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pngface:
HD Voice.. that's just like the contact lens advertisement I saw for "Full HD Vision"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Hahaha
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RegBuckley:
That leak Bell had 3 months ago is probably when they got jb and began adding thier bloat.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
HD voice is a real thing and is a noticeable difference. It utilizes a wideband receiver to send/receive a wider band of audio.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Zehlek:
I dunno if this is for all LTE versions or not

http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...is-getting-hd-voice-over-lte-globally-1091695
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pngface:
I'm sure it is.. and I wouldn't mind any improvements to the sometimes horrendous call quality on Rogers.

But come on.. HD voice? Marketing fail
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ranold26:
Someone care to post what the big differences/benefits between ICS and JB are?

Also, should I hold off a few days in downloading it, to see if there are bug reports/issues?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] HiKsFiles:
Just google it or search in the forums... this topic has been discussed number of times.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] twistanesh:
I wonder how long it would take for someone to root inject the update
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dx9:
Why wait? just root with Chainfires Auto Root. Takes secs to root. Yes it will increase your flash counter but if you are concerned about that use Triangle away to reset to 0. Best and easiest way to root. My flash counter is at like 7 or something. Couldn't care less. If I need warranty I use Triangle away.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thatsupnow:
yea exactly and plus if your on a forum like this, warranty shouldn't be a concern for you
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Bwyan Benton:
Lol sooo true
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
I'm in the process of putting the stock recovery back on the phone so that I can do the upgrade as soon as I get the notification. :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Altaman:
I contemplated putting stock rom back on so I could get the upgrade. I then thought I don't want to lose the lean rom with little/no bloatware and the customization allowed. Plus why go custom just to flash back?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
I haven't found a custom rom that satisfies me. They all have bugs or quirks that make it so that I always end up going back to stock.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
That was my issue with my old captivate. Stock was gingerbread. I wanted jelly bean. All custom roms had bugs and issues that drove me nuts. Now that I have an s3 and stock will soon be jelly bean, I'll be happy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
The update is now live and available for download on Rogers and Telus from what I am able to confirm!!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] NightSkylar:
Confirmed on Bell as well, Official Jellybean.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
I'm currently updating it via Kies since the OTA isn't connecting.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
OTA is going so slowly over WiFi. Even slower over LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TLS2000:
Kies went VERY fast. 15 minutes from start to end.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnM109R:
All is well did it OTA went pretty fast...But I'm downloading the full update from SamMobile...

Now we need to get this rooted..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Wisenos:
got the OTA (Rogers) an hour ago and worked flawlessly...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
"Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Please try again later."

That's the message I receive when trying to update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] arshad14:
Try using Samsung Kies on your computer. That will do the trick.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oilers2010:
Agreed, that's what I did and it worked with no issues at all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Worked for me too! Thx
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Anyone having network issues after updating?

When I select GSM only, I can only connect to edge. I need to select lte/GSM/wcdma in order to connect to 4G. I don't want lte though!

I also notice the keyboard no longer has auto correct working... its horrible! So far I'm not liking this update!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yulet:
Why don't you choose WCDMA only?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I thought that network was for verizon users only? What is wcdma?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yulet:
Isn't that CDMA?

WCDMA is 3G/3.5G for TELUS and Bell. Should be the same for Rogers
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Ill try that thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KSwiss15:
Same boat... my speed tests suck massive now. Switched it to WCDMA, and ping is now at over 800ms... used to get under 50. When I switched to lte/gsm/wcdma, it goes back to 40's, and download speeds are the same, but it has to be connected to lte... lte sucks ass son. I want it back the way it was!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
Wcdma seems to be working for me right now. Well see if my data cuts in and out. Right now it looks fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yulet:
I have no problems. First 3 tests are on WCDMA -different test servers. Last one is on LTE

Sent from my SGH-I747M
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] compro01:
No you're mixing up WCDMA with the CDMA2000 standards, otherwise known as 1x and EV-DO.

WCDMA (wideband code division multiple access. Short explanation is it's a better method (compared to the old TDMA method used by GSM.) to run multiple transmissions on the same channel, without them scrambling each other.) is used for UMTS, which HSPA runs on.

[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Of course it s possible, but i dont know, who already did it/which kernel includes it... however it doesnt really make sense, since our graphics is sooo slow, that an oc would hardly give you more performance, but a serious battery drain...

[HTC One X] hardmaninc:
Oh Great :( see I have tried doing a firmware update but it just fails I have 001 but still it doesnt like it :(
[HTC One X] spikeydoo2006:
It wouldn't as you need to have the HTC__001 CID (just using as an example). And we have H3G__001, so the firmware isn't compatible with our handsets :(

We'll have to wait for official OTA to be pushed by Three, before we can even think about trying JB or JB ROMS.
[HTC One X] cameron666:
i ahve a htc one x that came from Tmobile UK, it has a cid of T-MOB005. is it possible for me to change the cid to HTC__001, and make it take the OTA update ?
[HTC One X] spikeydoo2006:
Not currently...You need an S-OFF device to change CID, which is not yet possible for the tegra version. You'll have to wait for the T-Mobile JB update to be pushed to your handset.

Only a lucky "few" received devices with factory ship S-OFF
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FaDeGFX:
Ok now when the s3 came out, every single major case company released their cases for it within its first week. WTF!! i havent seen any major company release anyThing for the Nexus 4, WHY?? The problem I see is that how is the company that develops Android, how is it that there flagship phone is not getting as much attention as samsungs or apples? ****ing Propganda Bull****!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] AshtonTS:
The nexus 4 isn't available in retail stores, that's why
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mariolouis:
I know how you feel but that's the way marketing research goes. Did you know that Apple device's third party accessories are already available as early as its debut?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Emama:
Though It sounds like a big hit here in this nerd forum,

no one else know what a Nexus 4 is.

This is why no companies care about it.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Disastorm:
I'm sure one of the main reasons is probably that not many people have it yet. For whatever reason the stock of the phone in the play store has been so low.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] muyoso:
Uh, the Galaxy S III is on every major carrier in the US and there is an international version. It was going to sell tens of millions no matter what. That's why there are cases for it. The Nexus 4 will never have anything even remotely close to the GSIII with regards to accessories, even if it sells ten million, which it won't. If the Nexus 4 does extremely well, then maybe the nexus 5 will have a bunch . . . .
[Nexus 4 Accessories] threeclaws:
Already stated but gsiii sold like 5M phones in 2 mos, n4 will probably sell 100K in 2mos, for the case makers it's a no brainer.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] richteralan:
Nexus 4 already did extremely well, if Google/LG have enough inventory to meet the demand.

So the problem is not Nexus 4, but Google.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] svengalis:
We don't know how many units they actually sold though. I am sure if it was anywhere near a million or so units though they would have announced something by now.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FaDeGFX:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] abe in space:
Google*
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mb3030:
According to some of the vendors, Google did not release any information to them in regards to specs etc.... This is why we didn't see any leaks from case companies like we normally do. This is also why we're waiting now because they had to start from scratch when it launched.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
I see an SIII commercial at least once a day. Google has yet to advertise the N4 other than YouTube videos. That's why.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kanetheninja:
Also, I think a few big case makers have said they are going to make something, no?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FaDeGFX:
lol you honestly think its the software producers fault not Hardware MANUFACTURER?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mackster248:
Google engineers played a huge part in designing the N4.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] swordstrength:
I heard from someone that Google didn't give any pre-release phones out to case manufacturers before launch. That would definitely explain the lack of case options. Also, the lack of stock on the phone is probably not helping case manufacturers get their hands on a device.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] takgeun68:
I dont think this is a matter of blaming someone, its just google being to secretive with their Nexus line, and manufacturers have no idea how to roll out with nexus. I am sure we will hear something sooner or later....I really want the Case mate pop case!
