Yeah, when I checked today, it also took longer than usual, something about contacting the DBA server? Unsure. Maybe because we're all checking at the TMo update, haha.

Said I can check back in 18 hours and 59 minutes. Doubt that means anything

It doesn't mean anything.

You can only check every 24 hours, which means you checked about 1:16pm (EST).

Just clear data on the at&t update app and you can check whenever you want.

Well, now Sprint and T-Mobile have their SGSIII JB updates, we should be next, right? They still have Verizon, U.S. Cellular, C-Spire and Metro PCS to go as well.

I want the update as much as the next person but, they can't pick and choose who to send it to "test" it. Most people just update because it tells them to. They just want the phone to work. Friends at work have gsii with Sprint and their recent update is causing the phone to shut off on its own, the prior update caused extensive battery drain. Take your time att and get it right. I'll get my jb fix elsewhere for now. I want it as bug free as possible when it arrives.

Oh, is this referring to my idea? Well, if so, I was thinking AT&T would just open up a thread here on XDA and start pumping out stock ROMs and we'd give feedback (we'd play along and say the bloatware is fine, etc., but also give bug feedback).

Then, when all is good, they release it nation-wide, OTA-style.

Good point, though: better to make 2% of users get angry about waiting then making 50% of users angry about a crappier battery or now their WiFi doesn't work, etc.

But...what if?

If it means anything, I too just got the 'Communication Failed' error and normally it works. In fact, I had to replace my previous S3 as ATT couldn't figure out why mine was the only one having the issue when the last ota update came out. Either way I know mine works normally, so there *could* be something to this.

LordGeek · Nov 15, 2012

Well .. as I have posted in the Q&A thread .. if anyone has contacts at AT&T, or knows someone that is testing .. here is a complete listing of ALL the JB builds that are supposedly out there for our AT&T SGS3's.

Hmmmmmmm... hope that is a sign. I posted something on their FB page, but I'm sure it will be overlooked like everyone else's.

This is exactly the reason why I pray for the day that Google will finally release an unlocked Nexus with LTE capability. When that day comes, I will never purchase another carrier-branded phone with a UI overlay.

I agree. I was || this close to ordering a Nexus 4... but after having LTE, I just can't do it.

spartanrob · Nov 15, 2012

Very sloww update for me also, hmmmm.
Question, my buildprop is modified for Google Wallet so my Model Number for my S3 says Galaxy Nexus, will this impact an OTA JB update?

I am not sure if it will affect an OTA, but if it does, you would most likely receive the Nexus update, which is likely to have different drivers and probably won't work on the S3...

Maybe i'll change it back, just in case. will have to see what impact it has on GW

Here's an interesting article from PopHerald, the same source that originally made claims of the AT&T update rolling out this week.

http://www.popherald.com/2012115_samsung_galaxy_s3_jelly_bean_update_t_mo-20784

The article was posted 2 hours ago, and they are now stating that "AT&T and Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy S3 models will need to wait for few more days or weeks for their own Samsung Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean update". That's quality journalism right there.

Does anyone know if PopHerald is a legitimate site, or are they just click-baiting?
