[Q] When will 2.3.6 come back?

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

Ya I guess that's my only option My dad wants this phone but since the Google Voice doesn't work right with 2.3.5 I told him to wait a little bit before getting it but I don't know if 2.3.6 will be ready next week or next year.

I have no issues with Google voice

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.

who cares about 2.3.6 I'm waiting for 4.0! that should hit first months of the year.

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

Jelly Bean release date?

I'm either imagining things or illiterate, but wasn't today supposed to be the release date for the OTA official Jelly Bean patch? I browsed some of the other forums and news articles but haven't found any mention of it.

yeaa i been doin the same thing man

There was word JB would be pushed to International Versions of the S3 but I guarantee Verizon will be the last US Carrier and probably the last of the S3 phones to push the JB OTA.....

Samsung, vzw, and google all have to sit around in a room and stare at a gs3 that is sitting on a table in the middle of them for 6 months. They will literally have a team of engineers and marketing people just sitting there staring at it. The vzw guy on the team will have a thumb up his ass for reasons unknown. Their budget will be nearly unlimited. Meanwhile a few guys in their spare time and no budget will have a port running almost perfectly 2 days later. That 2 days happened the other week so we have over 5 months to go for an official release.

My bet is that the build's done. It's probably 95% identical to whatever is on the Note 2, with S-pen stuff being the only difference.
Now it's on to the carriers, which as we know (T-Mobile leak) some already have it nearly complete.
I bet a month for everyone but Verizon.

If I'm not mistaken, doesn't JB disable flash or has that been fixed at this point??

I called Verizon yesterday time complain about my poor signal strength, less than -100 DBm in metro Nashville, and he told me there was an update that improves "network connectivity" coming in the next two weeks. Now he was probably just telling me something to get rid of me, and nice one mentioned JB, so take it for what it's worth.

<3 roms. Much less waiting from a group of enthusiastic developers eager to push out the latest and greatest for the enthusiast community

I just read a couple Google articles that said jelly bean will be out in September for all versions of the s3. The caveat is all the carriers get to sit on it to ensure adequate bloatware comes with it.

The machine they use to cram the bloat up the phones ass takes a lot of power/time to get all of that crap up there.

Well I just came from the gnex boards and a new leak is out for vzw gnexs with new radios and possibly jb. So I'm gonna say we will get jellybean 2.5 months after all other s3's have it. But oh well....running paranoid android on my s3 right now and pretty darn stable. Also got 20 hrs or so with only 2 hours screen time but I was tethering for approximately 8 of those hours which IMHO is amazing.
Was going to have a couple screenshots of battery life but then playing that new space shuttle landing game which glitches out and caused a reboot.

Same here, PA 2.0 is pretty damn good. I had a few issues on restore but a quick reflash and everything is runing pretty well. I just wish App Devs are quick to optimize the Apps to JB.
The voice engine on JB is awesome, a lot less errors

Update coming

None of this sounds too exciting.... Never had the no sim error personally.

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.
galaxy. s3. synergy. yadda yadda.

The JB upgrade will most likely come in late 1st Q.

No new radios? Nothing updated that needs to be?
Typical verizon and this ****, didn't a UK Update come out in July that fixed some issues? Where the hell is that one...

I had a sim error once, when I went to install my SD card I realized the vzw rep didn't fully insert the sim card... never again since then.

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

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.

Just got the update pushed to my phone. Deferred until we find out if the new version is rootable/unlockable.

Countdown to 4.4.3

Now that the international version has gotten it, how long do you think before us verizon users get it? I'm guessing 6 months if history is any indicator.

On 4.4.4 now just flash a rom

What phones was Verizon last to get updates? People have been saying this before VZW even started getting the same phones as other carriers. It's like comparing oranges to apples. VZW has only had exclusive phones like the droid line and the incredible /rezound before the S3..For the S3, note 2, S4, ALL carriers INCLUDING VZW had them and I had updates same time as anyone else.
Can someone elaborate on what phones Verizon took months to update?

In my personal experience, the DroidX, Galaxy Nexus and Motorola Maxx. Google would release a version, the manufacturer would have to apply their changes and then Verizon had final approval. Not only does the handset manufacturer have to update for their kernel, UI (Sense, Blur (back in the day), etc.) but they would then put VZW's crap in there as well. 6 months was typical.

Those are VZW exclusive phones. We don't know if it was the manufacturer's fault or Verizon. It could've been Motorola's and Samsung's fault for the delay. That's why I said you can't compare exclusive phones.
I'm pretty sure a manufacturer would work harder and faster to update a phone that carriers across the globe have versus a phone that only one carrier in the world has. Example: Motorola X vs Maxx

GNex was by no means VZW exclusive.Sprint had an LTE version and GSM models were available in the Play Store.
But your point is valid - the bulk of the delay is with the manufacturer putting their crap on top of Android. Verizon has nothing to do in this process but approve - they're accepting delivery of the product when the manufacturer is done with it. That can still take a bit - I participated in several soak tests with Motorola where they are done with the update and they're testing the delivery. In a few cases there was a 2 week gap from the time of the completion of the soak test to the time it was released and that's Verizon, at least according to the Motorola employees in their forums.

Are we still talking the m8? I've had my m8 since day 1 and the first update we got was AFTER a few other carriers already got EPSM. And I was stoked we would have it. Then I updated and realized it didn't include it and was disappointed. Not forming hatred at all. But wanted to at least have the option for espm on our phone.

Nvidia god damn Shield tablet lte at&t

So, Nvidia has final re released marshmallow for k1, thanks to at&t tho, the lte model still hasn't been pushed through. What the hell at&t? So I have to do a bunch of crap to get the update unofficially, (root, unlock bootloader etc.) I feel like I shouldn't have to do all this just to receive an update that should have been here already. The only reason this makes me angry it's because my Shield tablet is having touch screen issues out of nowhere and I'm hoping the new marshmallow update will fix this. I swear, I'm never getting a carrier branded device ever again. Looks like I should have gotten the pixel c.

Apply for the US LTE Developer Vulcan 6.0.1 and get the update within a few days - done
It works better than 6.0 too..

Yep, I used Personal and N/A for company and url when applying and got approved without issues. Update applies with TWRP, and latest SuperSU beta seems to be working great.

What kills me is the original LTE wasn't a "carrier branded" device. It was sold unlocked LTE yet ATT bloatware comes as standard and after it is enabled can not be disabled! My non rooted stock 6.0.1 can no longer SMS after the 4.1 update, I have no relationship with ATT as I use an mvno. My text and data plan had been working flawlessly til now! Are you folks able to SMS on the 4.1 update?
