Wonder when the OTA will go live. I'm sure we will cripple the server. Lol

Quick question. I haven't used kies since I had my cappy, and that was kies mini. So is kies mini still around or do I need the the whole kies program??

Is the only way to update through Kies, losing root? What's the best way to update coming from some random ROM? (In my case bacon)

You could try flashing it via Mobile Odin pro with everroot if you have it. I may try that coming from one of the TMo JB ROMs since I don't feel like messing with all the OTA garbage...

    4.1.1 is out and, contrary to what Samsung said, the update is available on Kies and OTA! Yes, OTA is here!

    Congrats to Corey_r and longcat14 for winning the pool. No one else even had a chance, haha. :)

    Instructions: Post all yo rumors, rants, and revelations about the upcoming AT&T Jelly Bean update here.

    Official release date from Samsung: "Coming Soon!"
    (last checked on 11/30; source)

    Official release date from AT&T: "...very near future."
    (last checked on 11/30; source; thanks, Randun)



    Anonymous Source: Samsung's AT&T GS3 Jelly Bean User Trials started in May and have been completed; we're just waiting on AT&T. The ROM should be in its final stages of testing soon.

    Jelly Bean Version: Most likely 4.1 Before 11/28, chatter from multiple official AT&T sources stated 4.2 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6) However, then AT&T quietly released the above Support Article, which stated 4.1.The Support Article is the most concrete evidence we have, so it will probably be Jelly Bean 4.1. :)

    Confirmed Jelly Bean TouchWiz features:

    Camera
    • New camera/camcorder filters: warm vintage, cold vintage, black and white, sepia, color highlights(blue, green, red/yellow), and many more.
    • Pause and resume recording
    • Low light mode (uses HDR)
    Phone-wide
    • Pop Up Play can be resized and paused
    • Introduction of Easy Mode: large Easy widgets (for first-time smartphone users)
    • Introduction of Blocking Mode: disable incoming calls, notifications, alarms, and LED indicators for a designated period of time
    • Introduction of Swype® Keyboard (bundled)
    • AllShare® Cast Wireless Hub support
    • NFC One Touch Pairing Support: pair a supported Bluetooth device via NFC

    Complete noob.. I finally got kies to connect to my phone, but now it keeps asking me upgrade Kies to the latest version and then upgrade firmware. Once I click the Update Kies button right next to it, it immediately says the latest version is installed. After I do this, it doesnt seem anything has changed and it tells me the current firmware version is android 4.0.4. Anyone else having this issue? Is there a different way for me to update since ive never rooted or messed with stock settings? thanks

    So i was able to update my rooted stock ICS phone to the JB but i lost root. Im tempted to try rooting again via odin but worried of messing up my phone.

    Could flash stock rooted image here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

    Maybe if I shove a actual jellybean in my usb port my phone will update itself.

    This seems to be a thread for ranting and wild speculation than what the OP has intended. Maybe we should get back on topic before a mod is needed...

    Idk why you guys are hassling ATT about the release date. The only people who would know best would be the programmers at Samsung...Just my two cents

    Yeah, but unfortunately, we're under a contract to pay AT&T for service. They aren't under a contract to provide updates to our phones unless they are essential to maintaining daily function of the device. This is why carriers shouldn't be determining if/when android updates are released. There is no value added to any tweaks that AT&T makes on the devices.
