When will we get Update kitkat? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Do you think we will be updating kitkia for the month of March. Thanks

If the rumors are true Samsung will push the update to carriers in March. Don't expect kit Kat on our s3 till late April or may

International first, that's usually how it works. Verizon seems to always lag way behind the rest.
I wouldn't hold my breath.

Whats weird is yesterday early morning I looked for a update and it said it there was but then I had to take a phone , lost signal and it never came up again.
Yesterday Slayher tweeted that the next tb rom fixes all known, root exploits. I would guess that for him to say something as a matter of fact like that would indicate someone has a leak and that it's already confirmed to be true.

Just got off the phone with tech support and he told me they are pushing out an update on the 18th. But you know how that goes! I will believe it when I see it!

The way Check Updates responds to your queries has nothing to do with an OTA coming out soon. Posting speculation on it is a waste of time, same as the twenty other times I have seen a thread on this. Wait for someone with a proven track record of reliability to post that one is coming.

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.

"coming soon" could mean 2013.
"Coming soon" gets put through the Verizon Wireless translator and becomes "coming way later."

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
Sent from my SCH-I535
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.

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.

Official KitKat 4.4.2 OTA Released (Sprint)

Upgrade notice popped up and my device automatically downloaded the firmware to be able to upgrade.
Process ran smoothly... auto reboot, upgrade running, etc.
In case someone didn't realize: this is the official stock (unrooted) upgrade.
Edit- Added pics after upgrade.
Noticed
Lock screen with new camera icon and a white battery icon instead of green. I believe some tweaks are in order...
This update came out last week. Wonder why your update came late

Yep looks like people aren't all getting them at the same time. Should be an ease in thing.

Very important PSA!

DO NOT ACCEPT OTA UPDATES!
if you like to hack and mod that is. If ralekdev and other devs find an exploit for boot loader unlock chances are it will be in the release firmware. Remember Loki on the S4. How many of you still have that?

I wish I could be done with VZW. Wish wish wish.. I just need the the coverage. I'm so tired of them. The only time I have to deal with them is when I have exchange a defected device.. Which happens every time I buy one but it's enough. I pay $90 a month for unlimited data/txt and 450 minutes. So I'm happy about that. Oh yeah, I deal with them when I want control of my device. They don't want me (or anyone) to have it.

The only update I've ever dealt with was last year with my S4 when it upgraded from the MDK baseband. I don't remember the original one, but I remember I lucked out big time and when I ruined my phone and got a new one when I turned it on it basically almost immediately did an OTA to which I put in airplane mode to stop. Now I'm not 100% sure but I don't remember having to click yes or OK for that OTA

But if people have already accepted OTA before now, they are OK, right? Because this exploit is very new so I doubt it would've been fixed before that. The first fix I see for linux was on June 4th and I have no idea how that translates to phone OTAs

Most likely you are correct. The OTA they have been pushing is older so it's likely that the exploit will still work. I wouldn't accept any at all however if you can avoid it. I'd imagine they'll push the patch for this soon.
How do we know if our phones have the update already? I got a new s5 and have had zero Ota pop up since I got it 3 weeks ago.
