Just searched Google for S3 Jelly Bean as always, and it seems like phones in Europe are getting their updates now.
Just to share.
http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/24/jelly-bean-ota-update-for-samsung-galaxy-s-iii/
From the above link
----------------------------
The long-awaited roll-out appears to have commenced, with lucky GS III owners in Poland being among the first to get an early official taste of Android 4.1.1. If you hadn't heard, the update will bring a host of subtle yet powerful improvements, including Google Now for anticipating search queries, smooth UI improvements from Project Butter, as well as some Samsung extras already seen on the Galaxy Note II, such as a resizable Pop-up play screen. Hopefully this means the update will soon be sent on its merry way to GS IIIs in other parts of the Old World, and maybe at some point -- dare we suggest it -- those in the US too.
Yea but us Verizon customers will get it last.

That's the only thing I dislike about Verizon. That and locking down bootloaders. but with the great devs we have here, we will have JB Touchwiz months before Verizon releases it

Since we are on the subject, when the Galaxy Note 2 is released on Verizon, wouldn't devs be able to base JB touchwiz ROMs off of the Galaxy Note 2 JB base? I know the Note will have that S Pen thing but I'm sure that's removable

Does anyone know what carrier is getting this jb update?
Edit. Nevermind. I read Portland. But it says Poland. Haha!

When I worked at Verizon we used to test software deeply and daily. Verizon is very picky and minimizes as many big as possible. Honestly, the updates are never perfect as the manufacturer will read the reports we sent in and approve what bugs are left based on time frame for release, if the manufacturer says release it, then Verizon hq gives the yay on it. These oems sometimes allow huge bugs to get out there. (Eh hem, moto before google) I think the other carriers may not test as hard core as vzw. I miss that job.

Yes and thats exactly what I suspect will happen...The only way were getting a non-leaked TW JB rom in a timely fashion, will be from the Note2.

Can't believe this if this is true, anybody know how reputable that site is? I haven't seen any other sites report that It definitely won't be out this year.
Samsung hs their own site that specifies when updates are coming out. All of the major US carriers EXCEPT Verizon said November last time I checked (Monday). Verizon is listed as pending or something like that.

Doesn't the faulty grammar and horrible syntax in this article make you slightly skeptical as to how trustworthy it may be? Typically I distrust full page articles that present themselves as one huge run-on sentence.
Also he doesn't cite any sources, and his other articles cover a huge range of products from cell phones to cars, making it hard to believe he has the inside track on any industry, and just roams around the surface discussing whatever he feels like.
The fact that none of his articles have generated any comments should tell you how seriously his articles are taken.
Android Authority says the same... what a shame, best to start using one if the many jb ROMs we have, of course a vzw leak would be nice too.

I was with Sprint before Verizon and I thought Sprint was bad at releasing updates, so it seems each carrier is bad at releasing updates. Glad there's custom ROMs.
Wow this is crazy, I get on the forums everyday of hoping I see a JB update talk ar something. Guess I'll stay on ICS because it seems like every JB Rom has something broken or something. I'll stay on my stable ICS ROM.

Mountain out of a molehill. You guys are putting way too much emphasis on spotty sourcing and broken english.
How does "in the coming months" and them letting carriers announce dates on their own turn into 2013?
We already have fully working JB roms both touchwiz and AOSP With rooting there's no need to wait on silly verizon to get us jellybean
So after jelly bean, it's up to manufacturers to post updates and not carriers correct?

No point of owning an Android phone without rooting, IMHO.
Well depending on how awesome the RAZR maxx hd will be I will probably be selling my s3 for one

This is why we want the "Official" because all those bugs and quirks that are not working properly can be hammered out. I agree that Stock blows, but stock source is the key. Especially if we get the kernel source. Then all will be well with out custom ROMs/Kernels.
FWIW, this was posted on the TMo SGS3 side from engadget:
Samsung will update US Galaxy S III devices to Jelly Bean 'in the coming months'. Again, no time lines, just more carrier dependency.

LiquidSmooth for a fact, i say that because its been my daily driver the past couple weeks and i haven't had a single issue with it. Granted its AOSP and some people may not like that. But gps, bluetooth, nfc, data, wifi, etc all work
While I agree that most of us root and don't really need to wait for a carrier to release an update I can't stand when people say that. We shouldn't need to do that. These damn carriers and OEMs should be supporting their devices, that we spend our hard earned money on, in a better manner.
So everyone knows that today was the official announcement of android 4.2 and the devices that will have them pre-installed. How long do you guys think it will take to get a ROM up for the GS3?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well depends when the source is released then complied and bug tested and posted here. I would say 2 days to 2 months depending how much it has to be tweaked to run right.
Samsung has a headstart probably because of its galaxy nexus series phones,so probably other galaxy series phones will get it fast too?? i would say less than one month from now.SGS 3 is still one of Samsung's flagship models still though. :good:

Offical ota? Probably late 2013 or something stupid like that. I have no clue why Verizon sucks ass with updates but its annoying. iirc they released JB for the Nexus like 2 months after every other carrier had released theirs.

Did you mean big news? Yes, very much so, you'll probably see 976 threads labeled "4.2 source code released!"...........and then 985,456 people flaming them because there are 975 too many threads about it, lol.
Regardless, you'll probably see some AOSP merges in roms including 4.2 within a week of then, I'd be willing to bet. Whether they're stable or not is a whole new question......

yes

Sent From My JellyWiz S3 Using Xda HD App
I agree with tech as soon we can get our hands on it someone will have the success to port it, but it won't be anything like a regular rom until the source is released. I'd say it shouldn't take no more than a few weeks for us to see 4.2

Well when I owned a gnex they skipped an update and went to the most current one. I believe it went from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4? Guess they may do the same thing? Would be nice to see Verizon be first of the major carriers to update. But let's not hold our breath.

The majority of Verizon customers want stable and SECURE ROM's. Important to remember 99.99999999% of customers don't even know you can load custom roms.
This would be great to receive but with VZW we may have a better chance of having implanted bio phones before we see this update.

Secure maybe, in theory everyone wants a secure system. Whether its your phone, laptop or front door, but not everyone knows what secure is.
As for the updates, the majority of Verizon customers (99.99999999%) don't even know what JellyBean is let alone what this Premium suite upgrade is.
I agree that we likely won't see this update or any other from Verizon anytime soon but very few people care about the updates and even fewer are willing to leave their carrier over it.
For those of us that do care I'm sure it will be ported over hrs after release (if it hasn't already happened)
The premium suite will be $19.99

I just got my vzw s3 today. Coming from a gnex. I cracked the screen last week though I'm planning to root and unlock tonight. Hopefully we will have some awesome devs that will port these new features over to our roms quickly. I'm planning on installing the stock jellybean 4.1.1 leak tonight but might switch to Scott's rom in the future. He seems like a great dev who will get us this new suite quickly
I really like the low light settings.
thats probably one of the most attractive features
Verizon is the slowest carrier to send out updates... Idk why. Lol
The premium suite, I'm sure like jellybean, will get *fingers crossed* leaked on here!
