I heard that the Skyrocket had an update to 2.3.6 but it got pulled because it was messing up some phones. I was wondering if anyone knows when it will be available again or do we just have to wait for 4.0?
it should be back soon
The stock 2.3.6 rom is available in the development section., and acording to at&t the update was only issued to those who needed it. I have not read anywhere that it was messing up devices. That is most likely just somones speculation.
No...from Samsung tech support on a phone call that I made
They had no details just that of was pulled.

I've read on many places where the update was messing up some phones, and when I went into the AT&T store they said the same thing. Is there any way to get the 2.3.6 update from here on my phone without rooting it? And thanks for all the help guys.
Wait for them to fix and really release it

Unfortunately, with any product, there will typically be problems with some batches. At least the issue is with an official rom, but just that batch.

I have no issues with google voice on 2.3.5. However, when I got the OTA 2.3.6 my phone would not stay connected to LTE - it kept hopping between 4G HSPA, UTMS and LTE at my house. It would stay connected to LTE about 30 seconds then spend 60 seconds in "Connecting" state. It was completely unusable for IM - popups 'unable to connect to server' etc
Finally took the phone back and they exchanged, have 2.3.5 again and no problems since.
Was there a radio update in 2.3.6? If not, maybe there were some manufacturing problems and they tried to deal with them with hardware. I do know that the first phone I had experienced major connectivity issues (under 2.3.6) that this one does not.

I figured out that it is the Google search app that doesn't work in 2.3.5 so when you would tell it to call or text someone it would just take you to the internet.
2.3.6 was horrible. it had serious bluetooth errors. I sent my phone back for a new on on 2.3.5

I can say that it does come from verizon and its not your everyday cs rep or a store employee. I have known the person since I'm 5 (41 Now) and they have been with verizon 15 years and has worked his way up from tech to a nice position.
I can also add that they were looking into making the maintenance update part of the GB upgrade but were having issues with it so as of now they are two seperate ota's.
Im sure some of the devs here can check and see if this has any validity. I cant get him to confirm a GB date but he said nothing will be set for GB until current issues are dealt with..

All updates have issues so it's going to be pretty much unavoidable. Factory resets can generally clear up most of them though.
Hey so I was watching a marathon of TV last night when all of a sudden my NS started acting sluggish and then rebooted all by itself. When it finally was up and running again an OTA notification popped up. I thought it was odd so I clicked more info. The phone then just began downloading the update, so I waited. All is said and done now and my system status is labelling my phone with 2.3.6.
Anyone know what this update was about!? Did I miss the memo on something!?

I assume the update deals with radios as that was the nature of the search bug so check your speeds and connection stability. Battery life will be affected as well.
Looks like KF1 is the new radio so tell us how it works.

I tried to update my Nexus S (2.3.4 Rooted stock ROM previously) but it hung at the restart(showing the bot and the exclamation mark !). So I took out the battery and rebooted it. luckily it wasn't bricked.

Someone dump the radio I wanna see if it's upload capped.
Does anyone know if the original Nexus S the I9020/I9020T will be seeing any further updates - I'm starting to feel a bit left out on 2.3.4 - lol.
I have a stock Nexus S on Bell.
About 12:30 Alberta time the NS asked to do an update. It said the update was to fix several issues with the phone.
All the update version info is the same as Wind784.
I was on the kb3 modem before, and it was absolutely terrible.
Connection wise it is an amazing change.
I have gone from being unable to even connect to the network in my home, i.e. no calls, wireless data (except wifi), no texts most of the time to all of these now appear to be working.
At home I was getting less than dialup download speeds via Bell at home, and following the update I am now getting 800-1100 kb/s with 100 ms latency. (using the older speedtest.net app)
Yeehaa Google!! I can make a call from inside the house now, and texts work.
I live in East Central Alberta, it is a very rural area. (-111db 1 asu to -100db 3 asu) in my home, much better just over the hills towards the towers.
I can't wait to try it out in a bunch of different places tomorrow, both in my 200 km work area, and on a trip to Edmonton and back tomorrow.

That thread was discussing the upcoming ota and being ready for it.
This thread is a post update discussion. Also that thread was cleverly and so descriptively named 'update'. I hope to keep this one uncluttered and on topic.
Plus this one is actually in the proper location. So you should probably go troll somewhere else that doesn't make you look ignorant.

While I get what you're saying, it's hard for me to remain calm considering how erratic my signal is. Sometimes the phone just decides it has no sim card even though it does. Data hanging? Yep, I got that. Sporadic text notifications or lack thereof? Check. Having my phone function just as a phone would ease my nerves a little bit but as it stands it does it's own thing and it seriously affects my day to day.

Some awesome dev out there will probably come out with a stock JB rooted for all of us to enjoy. Not saying that people like us shouldn't try, we should make an attempt to contribute to the community.
It only took a short while for NoSympathy to make a version of the stock rom that was easy to modify (deodexed) and rooted. Roms based off of that will follow, and will also be CWM flashable.
Don't hold ur breath. im sure one of our great devs will get it to us way before VZW does.

First, the update will be released OTA direct from Samsung for the international version (4-core Exynos).
Next, the update will be released to GSM carriers (2-core Krait, OpenSource radios)
Next, the update will be released Sprint (2-core Krait, CDMA closed-source radios)
Next, the update will be released by GSM carriers via OTA.
Next, the update will be released by Sprint via OTA
Next, Google will ship the 'K' variant (either 4.2 or 5.0 likely) to GSM Nexus devices.
Next, Verizon will soak-test the OTA on 6 devices.
Next, Verizon will send it back to have new versions of their ****ware loaded into /system.
Next, Verizon will soak-test the updated ota on 10 more devices.
Next, Samsung will release the 'K' variant via OTA to international GSM carriers.
Next, Verizon will send the update back to tweak more nanny settings including making it more difficult for third party tethering and Nav.
Next, Verizon will release 2 new phones pre-loaded with the 'K' variant.
Finally, Verizon will release the OTA for the rest of their customers. This will happen around July of '14, right around the time when most people who bought the GS3 will be ready to upgrade again.

The worst part is most of you are right but we all hope your horribly wrong. Our phone doesn't even need JB right now, we need some updates that fix a ton of problems. Some of which are already fixed in the International versions. Terrible signal and music playback problems are my main ones.
Hope at least a stable Rom comes out when the international update is released!!

well that's underwhelming for people who like to use the stock firmware, wonder if verizon will get jellybean out for the s3 this year...was at my local vzw store yesterday and the sales guy was surprised to see a touchwiz-less S3 running jellybean. then i got an earful about voiding warranty when all i went there to do was get a sim for my wife's nexus. (my old phone, just replaced it with the S3 this week)
Happy to see that error being killed. A couple of areas around Rochester are basically s3 dead zones thanks to that. Not quite as exciting as jb but... enough to make me happy.

This is a Verizon only issue that NEEDS to be fixed. It is bull that Verizon wasted time locking down the bootloader that they screwed up their device... but to people who live in one of the "dead zones" the phone is all but useless as anything except a music player. Just because it's not an issue you have suffered doesn't mean it's not a necessary and needed fix.

The NO SIM error is ridiculous, and I am glad this will fix it. For those who don't know, some people can hardly use their S3 at times. I've had instances where every time I try to send a text for 20-30 minutes, it says sending, I lose all connections (no network at all) for a minute or two, then it reconnects, rinse, repeat. This happens when trying to send texts AND making a phone call. Imagine if you had an emergency and every time you tried to call your network dropped for 2 minutes.
But I don't know what else this will do to the phone. Disable current root methods? Bootloader issues?

Yes, many of us have the same issues, even in great 4G areas like DC. No new sim card or handset replacement would ever fix it. Took long enough for VZW to release this fix.
As usual if you are rooted/unlocked/running a ROM do NOT download the OTA update. Wait less than 24 hours for someone on the forums to debloat and flash manually. Obviously if you are stock, rooted, and locked go ahead and take the update VZW pushes out.

Yep, planning on it. I'll wait a little longer to be safe. But I would love to be able to use my phone where I have full bars on campus.
Anybody else surprised there was no leak for this build? Or any other build for that matter? Especially having it go live within the week. I don't know maybe seeing so many leaks on previous devices over the years has left me spoiled. Regardless I am looking forward to some new radios.

It is possible it won't include new radios.
I'm not familiar with how these updates work on a Samsung phone.....I had a droid x2 and when that phone received and OTA update it would prompt you to download and install the update. I am assuming this will work the same way? I'm stock unrooted but don't want to get stuck that way....I'll let a few people here download and install and say it's safe before installing

Don't forget it could install without you actively accepting it. Recent Verizon phones have been known to do this.

That's not good. I really have no desire to root the phone at this point but this may push me in that direction. I'm surprised that's legal.... When updating you typically lose all service briefly, which I would think is a choice up to the user. I would be pissed as hell if this thing updated without me ok'ing it.

phone search still nerfed, doubt that ones coming back in the USA.
I had this no sim error only in a few places around my home area... but one of those areas included my house. Two new sim cards and two new S3s later, I am extremely happy to hear about this fix! Oddly enough, I never got a no sim error here on a 2 week business trip to Utah.
Had to manually load the update tho, now all is well! Thx for the tip!

Hrmph. I buy and sell a lot using the ebay app. The update killed the app.
Just got the update pushed to my phone. Deferred until we find out if the new version is rootable/unlockable.
