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.

Why do I torture myself with Verizon?

We'll probably get it next year and that is wishful thinking. I think my wife's Fascinate got Gingerbread at the end of our last contract while my DX got it a week after we got our phones lol.

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 hope so, I'm in Nashville too and can barely get 4G in my apartment. NEVER switched to 3G on my Bionic and it does all the time with GS3

Not disabled, just not able to be installed through Play. You can still load the .apk and it'll work fine

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

worst fear, cdma (sprint) data issues already?

so stock is great but we all know we love our custom roms and have our favorite devs. i saw cataclysm rom pop up the other day and flashed, all working fine (data provisioned like it should, etc). this morning i noticed a good number of custom roms appeared for us. so i naturally wanted to give them a run (alpha or not), 3 different roms (omni, unofficial carbon, and asylum) all with the same result. it will sit on the provisioning data service screen until it times out and asks you to try again. now somebody in omni replied saying it was a known issue.
here is my concern/question i guess, are we going to see issues bc sprint didnt actually get out of the way and just give up binaries to google? my understanding was one rom should work on all variants. i am not foreign to data issues and sprint as i had the sprint gnex but this was me giving them one last chance before taking it to tmobile, which we can fortunately do with the n5.

Definitely frustrating today for sure. There's a lot of cool ROM's that we're not able to enjoy yet.
I've been sending some PM's around and I can assure you that there are people looking into it. I see the following scenarios as possibilities:
- We may need to create a flashable zip of the Sprint APN settings. It would need to be flashed after every ROM/Gapps install. AT&T and Straight Talk already have a thread for this.
- The devs (except for Rascarlo who already said he will not do this) may start to take notice and try to fix it when building their ROM's. It may be a HiddenMenu issue.
- Worst Case Scenario - we have a separate Sprint Development Forum. Because we have the same model number, I doubt it will come to this though.

well this is really dissapointing then. this "one phone for all" seems to be a bill of goods. will probably just be switching to tmobile when i can and not having to deal with sprint being in the way. if it is this way already and there hasnt even been an update, i do not have high hopes for us cdma users.
edit: i am sure devs are working on this and will get it working in some way. just stinks and its weird that cataclysm is working just fine when it comes to data but 3 others didnt.

nice...i remember slimkat having working data when i gave it a go the other day. i am happy to test the fix if you or he wants to pm me. i used to test for sourcery on sprint gnex so i am good at putting things through the paces and can run logcats if need be.

I also think someone is going make flashable zips that I'll be testing later as well. That way we'll have options for ROMs where the devs don't build the fix in their ROMs.

Honestly the devs need to post roms compatible with cdma or not post them in this forum. nexus firmware is the same for both variants and custom/aosp roms should follow the same rule.

patience, padawans. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47396073&postcount=192 answers you will find.

Is anyone else losing hope we'll see an official lollipop update from at&t?

I've been searching all over and ive found nothing. It's the begining of a new year and I'm starting to think we're not getting a lollipop update anymore..

I always believe all model branded by us carriers will get any update last of all other makes.

Yeah, it's been that way pretty much with every phone I've ever owned. I wish phone manufactures wouldn't allow carriers to intervene. But at least usually an international ROM is ported over to the us models.. I wish someone would do that

I just want it to come so i can get the latest cloudy.

Right. That's the ROM I wanted to use.

Custom Roms.
That's why we use custom roms. The unofficial cyanongen is a good substitute for a lollipop update.

Really??? When have you ever known AT&T to let anyone know about an update until it is in process? I think we will get an L update for two reasons. AT&T has always seemed to allow at least one major upgrade of versions and the phone is barely 6 months old.
Besides that, the rollout of L for international G3s started less than 2 months ago. U.S. carriers typically take time to "test" (i.e. install their bloatware and figure out how to lock down the phone) the new updates.

Yeah I'm getting very fed up with all this too... I use liquidsmooth in the meantime and it works great, but I just miss the LG camera... Also other features but mainly the camera... I had the nexus 5 before this phone and I loved the timely updates... Too bad it don't work the same with this phone...

I was being a little over dramatic. I know eventually we'll get an update, but instead of trying to add all that bloat and strip things from the software they should be trying to get it out for the users as soon as possible.

Unfortunately this is the case with all android phones and tablets. The latest and greatest hits the Nexus lines first. Other phones are at the mercy of the phone manufacturer (as well as the carriers in some cases).

With all the custom roms and cm12 for our phone right around the corner. Who needs an official bloated at&t L Rom. Custom roms run so much better than stock anyway. .....and L is good but very over rated K.K. 4.4.4 is working great. Be patient you will get your stock at&t L by the latest March
********************************
Update today I got a notification to update I am ON stock d85010d
I have the phone a week this was my 1 st notification I wonder if this is the 10f or something else I haven't rooted yet. Did anyone else get this today and if so what is it ?

It's 10f I got the notice today as well. If you are rooted it will not break root.

I believe it'll come to us soon but I can care less if the update comes. I'm fine with what were using now.

the only problem with all the Lollipop Roms we currently have is that the camera app sucks, we loose 4K recording, Laser Focus, Slow motion and front facing flash. Plus the quality of the pictures is not even near to the quality of the stock camera.

1cwolf has been rooting the stock roms and tweaking them I am sure he will do the same when L drops. He is making debloated ver also. That's prob what I'll stick with cause the stock Rom does run very good. I always get better WiFi with stock roms more powerfull WiFi signal

What size was the 10F update? I am betting that is a small update before lollipop comes in...
let's not forget...the AT&T G2 was one of the first phones to get KitKat. Besides Nexus devices are there any other devices with Lollipop? LG is moving pretty quick to get the international version of Lollipop out. Where is Samsung and HTC with Lollipop for their devices?

Getting back to it.

Hello xda friends,
I've dusted off the relay 4g & playing around with android again to keep my hands busy.
My Question of the day is, are there enough people still using this device to be testers? I've been looking at porting since that's just what I've always done for fun, and currently I'm using the LG G3 on verizon so I won't be able to do network/data testing on tmo.
The other thing, I left off on 4.2/4.3 and wondering if anyone can fill in the blanks regarding issues going to KK/LP.
I've already read some posts regarding memory leaks in LP, and Recovery issues I think..
Happy Modding!

Kk was more battery friendly than Lollipop is...in its current state...there's still all sorts of source floating around for it

Dude, drop in to IRC. Dev is pretty close to dead on Relay right now, since Nard and I don't *have* relay's any more, and Magamo's busy in his new parental role...
Before I got rid of mine, I did get 5.0 running on it reasonably OK. Some of the inherent 5.0 glitches made the experience slightly.... crunchy, but it was fully functional. 5.1 would probably work pretty well on it.

As of the last time TeamApexQ's repos were touched, CM12 booted, but audio was borked due to a CM change that I never had the time to figure out. -- Never did get around to starting with Android 5.1 on this thing. Nor did we touch Omni after the 5 upgrade, because for a long time their CAF trees were... inadequate.

Eugene, did you gave up on our relay? I hope not.

Just found this thread. Been hoping for signs of life (although this thread is looking pretty dead). Still using the relay until it dies, and would love to see LP or MM on it.

I'm still here, though I agree things are looking pretty dead. Within the next few weeks, I plan to either be gone from here, or be looking into becoming a new nightly provider.
My wife's Relay is having problems, and I fear it's a hardware fault. The proximity detector seems to get stuck. When she takes it away from her ear, the screen stays black, and I'm really not sure what lets it clear its state and display the screen, again. If it's a hardware fault, we're buying two new phones in the next few weeks. I've tried all sorts of things, except a factory reset, and that's next.
If the factory reset works, and I'm able to get it running again, then I want to see new nightlies, even if I have to be the one building them. The sticky part will be getting enough assistance to where I can start building them.

I still use my Relay 4g as my main phone and I'm trying to port LP to it. But I'm still a noob so it will take some time

My main too. I really need to find the time to poke around the code for this thing..

Just noticed this thread now (ha!). I'm using my Relay as my backup phone - but hey, sometimes I do need a backup! Happy to do some testing if it helps. I'd love to have 5.1.1 on it.

Im still rockin the relay also as my main device, but I'm probably gonna get the priv for Christmas.

If there will be cm12.1 I will install it.

Dos the rooted of7 kernel work on this?

somebody pull the update.zip..and upload it..if u didnt flash it already..so we can get the boot.img out of it

Just got this this morning. Anybody have a clue what it did, other than bug fixes?

There is a new Samsung bloat app in the drawer now. Also the unread counts color is now matching the theme I am running. I am running Black Gold from the themestore and instead of the ugly Samsung orange unread count it is now gold to match the theme...a very welcome addition imo. Only thing I've noticed so far.

I took the plunge. I can say it worked in my phone. I got the ofe update this morning and installed the of7 kernal. Rooted for me! Installed root check and gave me I have root. Note tho this is a risk and I am not responsible if you or anybody else has issues. I maybe just a lucky one. If unsure please wait till ofe kernal with root is released. I am just sharing my experience

its a different kernel in there....i looked..i also pulled the update myself..should have a proper root once i hand it to the kernel dev

To get root we have to build it from source! The source is not released at this time. Just because the kernel is ofe doesn't make it a different kernel either. Only thing you would see is changes in the ramdisk which i doubt there are any

I've seen better battery life and even more LTE in places where I barely even had 3g. And my apps close in the background slightly less often.. So this mini update was waaaay better than the last major update we just got.

I say partially fixed. I'm still getting refreshes, just not nearly as often. But my RAM is still always close to 80% full even with all the fun stuff disabled.

Is it hard to unroot to take the update? Or should i just wait for a custom flashable ROM? I've always jad HTC phones haha. Thanks guys.

Ohhh.... I may have to bite the bullet an actually update then. I was going to take a "wait and see" approach and try to maintain KNOX. But I really dont give a crap about maintaining KNOX anyway TBH - I wont use Samsung pay so who cares? I may just go ahead, take the OTA and Root 5.1.1. The sounds like the update we've been waiting on. It integrates LTE carrier AGGREGATION which is better for people in spotty LTE coverage areas.
Any last minute words of wisdom/advice before I take the 5.1.1 plunge and cant go back?!
I dont really see 5.1.1 getting root that wont trip KNOX like PingPong anyway. The Flashfire method has never really materialized. I have yet to see a tutorial or FAQ for Sprint users to update to 5.1.1 Rom with Flashfire and avoid modifying the bootloader to spare KNOX and keep pingpong root. Not sure it will happen... I mean I know its theoretically very possible. I just have not seen it confirmed that a Sprint users has FlashFired to 5.1.1/OF7, new firmware and all, but kept old bootloader/boot partition and maintained their KNOX free pingpong root.

so is the original 5.1.1 supposed to be done rolling out by now? I still have not received it....I went to a local best buy asking for a manual update and they told me "you already have the latest version." so that was obviously no help. anyone know where or how i can perform this update manually? everytime i check for updates it says "error connecting to server at this time"

I gave in and just updated to OFE. I must be in the 5% initial rollout! Root incoming.
