So verizons definitely trolling us. I called za to see where the update is L2 tech said they have no idea they said to ask samsung, which they then forwarded me to samsung. Samsung says they released the 4.3 build to verizon in October... so VZ has had it since October.

Hey guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HF4L:
That's the S4 update not S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gwhizkids:
That appears to be for the SCH-1545, i.e., the S4. I think this is the minor update referred to yesterday.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] greaseman2:
Yeah but under the processing it said i535 right before I took the picture. But was gone almost instantly. Grrrr
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] parth212:
You might've seen something else BC I checked the firmware on the site it says the current one is still MF1. I double checked it the same way with the ones actually posted above the queue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] greaseman2:
Doesn't matter now. I'm sure we will get it soon. Hope they can get that 4.3 pulled from that soak test.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
Yeah we are probably just going to end up staring at weiners instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Macrodroid:
Here's some other examples of slated upgrades that went the wayside because of Verizon's politics and lackluster perspective of it's customers:

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/09/17/android-2-2-not-coming-to-droid-eris/

http://www.droid-life.com/tag/incredible2/

Keep in mind that XDA development made the "missed" OTA's on these devices happen, all without the problems that Verizon used as an excuse to NOT get the upgraded OS pushed!

Don't feel bad that we're waiting, we're Verizon customers! We pay to wait, expect what we deserve and accept getting nothing in the end (except for a new jar of Vaseline and numerous excuses!). :mad:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
Similar happened on the Fascinate. First every update was ridiculously delayed. Then due to its ~384mb of usuable ram, Samsung simply wouldn't port ics. Of course that didn't stop [MENTION=2562109]jt1134[/MENTION] from reverse engineering the ril (among many other things) and bringing us a very nice version of ICS and up. I think the fascinate is on 4.4 now based on jt's work.

Carriers and manufacturers mostly kinda suck.

Tldr: Samsung stater it would be "impossible" to run 4.0+. Its now on 4.4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cammykool:
Yeah.... Bulls is gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
I believe he messaged another Dev about getting the image. Maybe he isn't hitting refresh on this forum like many of us :D

Galaxy S3 Android 4.3 Update Nearly Complete By Cory Gunther | 12/12/2013

"With the last major US carrier Verizon pushing it out this week, we have a few more left."

Are they misinformed or do they know something the public does not?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
maybe they know something... or its our soak test pull lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] parth212:
I have been noticing that sammobile has been uploading quite bit of 4.3 ROMs in the past few days hopefully that means something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cammykool:
has there been any updates with the rom pull?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zachf714:
no
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daimerion:
The leaked schedule says the 22nd but I'm sure it will be delayed. I'm surprised there hasn't been some kind of leak yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/10/2...tes-for-gs3-gs4-note-2-and-gs4-active-leaked/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
You are probably right. If 11/22 was real, we'd probably have seen a leaked build by now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
Probably.

But, at the same time Samsung's desire to sell its galaxy gear is a huge motivating factor in getting this update out well before Christmas and the gift giving season.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rhplusa10:
Samsung already made 4.3 TW for SGS3 and released in Korea.

However people experience a lot of serious bugs like battery drain, and Samsung just pulled down and deleted it.

I hope they will fix it and release new version soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsachi:
At&t rolled out pretty much on time, but today they pulled it because of bugs. My guess is we will see a delay on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] K20Z1:
Question, shouldn't Samsung have updated the 3.0.31 kernel in the 4.3 update? I thought, though I could be wrong, that the kernel was updated to 3.4 back in jelly bean 4.2? Wouldn't this help with a lot of the issues they are having with the Galaxy S3 4.3 update? Although, I am curious to see how it preforms on the 2gb of ram variants, as I believe the 1gb variants were the only variants to receive the update before it got pulled. Shouldn't it run a bit smoother with the extra ram? Maybe the 2gb variants could get the newer launcher with less redraw that the s4 is receiving with the update? Of course, I would hope that the kernel gets updated too since it's still not out for our Verizon variant and will likely miss it's rumored / leaked November 22nd release this Friday, as I'm sure there are the same issues with the software as the international and Korean 4.3 builds. What do you guys think? Anyone seen 4.3 running on any flavor or carrier S3 with 2GB of ram? Any better than the 1GB variants if so? I know that the AT&T update leaked out awhile back but never heard anything about it and it too missed its rumored / leaked release last week I believe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krazie1:
So it looks like Tmobile GS3 is getting their 4.3 update today like the leaked list said. We have 3 more days to wait and see if Verizon comes through for us.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jhssal:
Maybe that's the date you'd see a leaked build...:laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
A little surprised tmobile got it pushed today considering the AT&T rollout is on hold. Maybe the AT&T problems were specific to their device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsachi:
Not specific to them. There were issues with international S3 as well and the S4 had similar issues.

I wonder if some of that has to do with the repartitioning of the sdcard to support multi users. Suddenly every app needs to remap file locations for audio, pictures, and videos. Everything lags due to excess background work and battery drains super fast.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lexluthor:
Then why did tmobile push the update today?

Seems strange that they would if at&t's issues weren't specific to just them.

The tmobile release does give us some hope for a Friday release on Verizon, but these things always seem to skip, especially on Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Afro Samurai:
Based on posts so far in the T-Mobile threads I'm not looking forward to this update at all. Time will tell.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Is it full of bugs or something?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Afro Samurai:
On the T-Mobile side they seem to be having problems with knox. It kinda looks like the S4 update that locked that down. As of now they're advising people don't ota unless you want to deal with the knox/warranty issues. I'll add a link to the thread in a few minutes.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47668357

As of right now over there three RC's and a moderator have advised against it. Maybe our devs can figure something out.

Sent from the S3 of The Afro Samurai
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
We were locked down at release and I honestly am not the slightest bit surprised they're locking us down in what should be our final OTA.

I've heard that Knox is tough to get around. I think for one of those other variants or even S4, someone posted a Knox version and a Knox-less version. I'm just hopeful we get a release tomorrow. I've been checking the Samsung website to see if they posted the changelog almost everyday the last two weeks.

Edit: Oh and I am well beyond my warrantly lmao, I'm rocking a first day S3 so mine delightfully expired in July. I've already resolved my first post-warranty part replacement (headphone jack).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Afro Samurai:
If they lock us down they lock us down, I haven't flashed a rom in quite some time and I'm not really a aosp guy but I would miss having a bloat free rom if we were to get locked down. If we do maybe safestrap is an option. I think they were able to knox free the leaks but we don't even have a leak on our side.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] parth212:
One can only speculate my friend. After seeing that article on gottobemobile it kinda of makes you think like what someone said about that article here. It says : The update to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for Samsung Galaxy S3 users hasn’t been extremely smooth, but by now almost all users have received the update. After countless delays and multiple issues the new software is almost finally done rolling out for everyone. "With the last major US carrier Verizon pushing it out this week, we have a few more left."

Now from verizon i keep getting mixed signals, like in the past few days tech has been giving me the runaround. I get responses like oh wait there was an update planned for the s3? or yeah its in the final stages of testing... but i have got 2 in a row saying its close and is coming shortly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
I don't think anyone really wants stock 4.3 TW, but the custom roms that iron out all the manufacturer shortcomings. Driver updates are good, too.
