No Official JB Update for Verizon S3 Coming! Woah, that was close!

So Samsung offically announced the US devices getting JB and while reading the article is says it is coming to the Galaxy S3 on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and US Cellular. I was like WHAAAAAAAAT!
Then when you scroll down to the chart, is has the Verzion S3 JB update also listed as coming soon. Man, a typo like that can give someone a heart attack.

Somebody is going to misread the thread title and freak out...

"coming soon" could mean 2013.

"Coming soon" gets put through the Verizon Wireless translator and becomes "coming way later."

I bet verizon will be the last to update to jb. By then key lime will be out. Rumor has it, it may be announced this november with a few new nexus devices. The cycle just never ends.

Must be nice to have a Nexus device

VZW has a different definition of 'coming', and esp of 'soon'

Unless you're on Verizon. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus just got its official JB update like two weeks ago or so.

By your sig, it appears you have a Vzw Galaxy Nex. Therefore, your comment was irrelevant...

It's hard to be patient for newer better operating systems. But I'm loving cleanrom 2.5 and the Google now mod I found here on xda. This phone runs well on pics so I'm hoping jb by Xmas.

Yep. Apparently the ota is coming later as in 2013. Thanks Verizon. Love you cyanogen

Does it really matter? It'll look just like ICS with the same fugly touchwiz all over it. Maybe it'll scroll a little smoother. The only other important addition (google now) we can add already.
JB is such a tiny update I don't see what everyone is getting so worked up about.

We can hope. I doubt it will be 4.1.2 but you never know with VZW.

Where in that article does it say 4.1.2????? I only see it mention 4.1. How do you jump to the conclusion that it will be 4.1.2?

If I'm not mistaken does it even matter? I thought the x.x.2 update was basically patches for the nexus 7 with an update for power management and then just very minor updates to the rest

What makes it important to us, is the changes Samsung made to the TouchWIZ framework in 4.1.2:
Multi-View Multitasking - The ability to run two different apps simultaneously on one screen.

Do any of the US variants even have that? Pretty sure they reserved that for just the international version and the note 2 because of the quad core.

I saw an article from tom's hardware about the Samsung suite pack. It should be released later on. The international one, I believe is what got the updated features.

Well, we don't have any 4.1.2 US variant builds yet (even leaks), so it's hard to say whether or not we will get the Multitasking built in. What is likely though, is that we will get the framework changes that support it (even if Samsung doesn't provide the actual application to do it). In that case, it will be a simple port to get it up and running.

I'm pretty sure we'll get it. There's lots of stuff in the framework that's associated with the multi-view feature such as images and XML files so it's a safe bet that it'll come to the US variants.

Regarding multi view, scott on the clean rom forum said its definitely in the framework, but its "turned off" in almost 180 something files, he said it would be painstakingly time consuming , byt someone with the time and knowledge could definitely turn it on.

I highly doubt that it will come to Verizon anytime this year... which is a shame

LOL Verizon getting 4.1.2
WOW you have your hopes high, they still haven't released 4.1.1. and I'm using a leaked version and there are still bugs in it. I highly doubt we will see 4.1.2 before April.

LOL at some of the funny comments - I'm sure if its coming to the US, Verizon will get it too - seriously - I can't stop laughing.

Yeapppp! Still don't even have jellybean update. Lol
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

4.1.2 is unlikely. Support docs have started shipping out, and K3 is the official Verizon build #, so the K3 we're seeing around here should be what's pushed out via the OTA when it starts:

Friday for 4.1.1 But maybe we can get the leak of 4.1.2 this year.

You realize there is only like 2 weeks left in the year?

It was told that 412 will release 2nd week of january.So for the leak 2 weeks is enough if that is real.

I need help

I love Android! Had hero-evo-photon-3d-evo lte-s3 and now I'm getting kind of bored with it..
Considered WP but no apps is a major no no. And well I've been considering iPhone 5 until s4 comes out or next big android.
Is this normal?! Please help me!

There are tons of new phones out that are great as well as many new ones always around the corner, just take the plunge and pick one that suits your needs and has a good ongoing development. Good luck my friend.

What is an i5? or i4?

iPhone 5 and iPhone 4

Ah ok, hows that going so far? I can imagine everything "just works" as they say, lol

I mean yeah it works but so does android... First off I love iTunes! It's so cool plugging in phone at night and it automatically copies itself, the iPhone 5 is just so insanely fluid and fast! Camera is same as my Evo lte. Overall it's just nice having something that never stutters, no missing pics of kids due to lag, or anything like that. Idk just want something new until android is completely fluid.

I hear ya, hopefully the next version is smooth

Man I honestly love iPhone... Never thought I'd say that

Verizon S4 releasing a week early

Not sure if this thread is necessary but Verizon moved the launch date a whole week earlier to May 23. That means a whole week less to wait for bootloader unlocking

Yea just googled, multiple websites confirm it. No surprise considering AT&T rushed their launch. Hopefully this means Dan will release before the end of may cause as it stood before, we weren't gonna see the unlocked bootloader till at least a couple days into June

I hope this means faster bootloader unlock

Should I buy the next nexus or the Oneplus One?

Hey,
Around July i will have enough budget to buy a new smartphone.
I've been looking at the Oneplus One and I liked it, but I don't know if i should wait to the next fall to buy the next nexus phone (if there is one).
What should I do?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Either should be fine. The most important thing is to wait for reviews before buying any of them.

The next nexus will most likely have a faster processor and wireless charging. If that is important to you then I would wait. Also, I wouldn't put an ounce of faith in Cyanogenmod giving timely updates to the software of the phone. I would be very surprised if they were able to get an update out 6 months after the next version of android is released.

CM builds from AOSP source. They'll have whatever Google updates in just mere hours up to 2 days. CM11 kitkat was out so fast after it was released. Just cause they didn't decide to make a thread on xda right off the bat doesn't mean it wasn't out.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Well, it depends on how they plan on updating it. Are they going to build the nightlies directly for the OnePlus One? Or only release "stable" milestones? Since the site says that it is a customized version of CM you may not get those customized features in nightlies if they are released.

I am sure they will allow you to unlock the phone and flash the CM nightlies if you want same with the nexus. If they were smart, they would know people like us would do that considering that seems to be the market in my opinion. It probably won't have the customized features but I am sure ROM developers will jump on it, especially with all of the CM ROMs floating around.
To the OP: It won't be availble for sometime, you have to be invited to buy it or join the smash deal. But if both phones were available I would definitely get the oneplusone (I was sold on the JBL stereo speakers).

There is a stable version of CM out there? They aren't going to be releasing nightlies for a retail product. There literally still isn't a CM stable out for our phone. The next version of android is a month away and every OEM has already updated their flagships to stable versions of 4.4.2.
