November 5, 201213 yr Any specific phone model? Maybe the SGS3 (I9300)? http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=GT-I9300 Edited November 5, 201213 yr by lomatopo
November 5, 201213 yr Ooo thanks for the heads up, I just did a Software Update on my SGS3 and it's downloading a 287.28Mb file.... (In the Middle East that is, not DTAC!).
November 5, 201213 yr Author He's had can't reach server for best part of a week - Why is DTAC so far behind?!?
November 5, 201213 yr What does DTAC have to do with it? Mine is set to "Wifi only". If you think it's the SIM, why not borrow someone else's just to do the installation?
November 5, 201213 yr Assuming an SGS3, the DTAC (and TrueMove) versions would be I9300T, and as near as I can determine there has not been a 4.1.1 release for the I9300T yet. AIS would likely have sold an I9300, which has a 4.1.1 release for THL I would attribute this more to Samsung than DTAC. But I'm still not sure what model you're talking about.

November 5, 201213 yr Mine is the vanilla GT-I9300 and it's now officially Jellybeaned. I suppose I'll have to start pining for 4.2 now.
November 5, 201213 yr Author yup going by above the I9300 - mine is the I9300T Is there that much difference? Is it purely a radio thing?
November 5, 201213 yr Maybe just wait a few days? The I9300 (official, for THL) release has been out for at least 3 weeks and people are just getting it now. You can check the site I linked, and flash yourself as soon as it is released. Is there some desperate need to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1? Is there some feature in 4.1.1. you require?

I feel the need, the need for speed... Nope and actually haven't even rooted my S3 as thought I'd tick along nicely on stock until Jelly Bean
November 5, 201213 yr http://www.android.com/about/jelly-bean/ Apart from the obvious performance improvements: Android 4.1, Jelly Bean Android 4.1, Jelly Bean, is the fastest and smoothest version of Android yet. Jelly Bean improves on the simplicity and beauty of Android 4.0, and introduces a new Google search experience on Android. Everything in Jelly Bean feels fast, fluid, and smooth. Moving between home screens and switching between apps is effortless, like turning pages in a book. Jelly Bean features improved performance throughout the system, including faster orientation changes, faster responses when switching between recent apps, and smoother and more consistent rendering across the system through vsync and triple buffering. Jelly Bean has more reactive and uniform touch responses, and makes your device even more responsive by boosting your device's CPU instantly when you touch the screen, and turns it down when you don't need it to improve battery life. That link describes everything else.
November 5, 201213 yr I've been using 4.1.1 for nearly three months. Yes it's an improvement over 4.0.x. Has my life been somehow altered? Eh. Is it quite as dramatic as it is portrayed on the linked Google website? Eh. The OP could flash a stock I9300 ROM if he didn't want to wait. It might even perform better than the I9300T ROM?

November 9, 201213 yr Author Manufacturers of Android smartphones or tablet devices often get blamed for the late rollout of new versions of the operating system, but it can often be down to the individual carriers for holding the updates up PopHerald are reporting that they have been tipped off that the Jelly Bean update will be arriving for AT&T users next week, and will be the Android 4.1.2 version of Jelly Bean as well. http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2012/11/08/samsung-galaxy-s3-jelly-bean-4-1-2-update-may-hit-att-any-day/
November 9, 201213 yr In some markets service providers subsidize, brand, market, sell, service, support phone models and have custom software with branded applications. AT&T in the U.S. adds a ton of extras onto any phone they subsidize, so it may take the a while to develop, QA and roll-out a release. Obviously, with a gazillion customers they have be a bit more careful. I think AIS sold a generic I9300, maybe with some separate stand-alone bloatware/apps. I think DTAC and TrueMove H sold the generic Telstra I9300T so they may be waiting on either/both Samsung/Telstra to QA the release before rolling it out to their customers. I've looked at an I9300T closely and do not see any, in this case DTAC, bloatware. AFAIK the I9300 and I9300T hardware is similar with any 850 MHz tuning for the T done in firmware so a 9300 THL 4.1.1 ROM should work fine on an I9300T. Maybe better.

November 9, 201213 yr Thanks for the info, not in any hurry for this update so will wait for the OTA. Cant be bothered messing around with my phone for a non-critical update.
November 9, 201213 yr Author Thanks for the info, not in any hurry for this update so will wait for the OTA. Cant be bothered messing around with my phone for a non-critical update. Agree, if it's 4.12 bonus, if not its no biggie. Initially I thought it was dtac lagging AIS which becomes annoying (roaming alliance, 3gb v 2gb on contract) but as its due to the "T" one waits.

December 14, 201213 yr 4.1.1 no Premium Suite functionality such as multiscreen etc Not sure but I think I like "Multi-Window"?

January 18, 201313 yr Author AIS phones have started getting the 4.1.2 firmware with the dual screen feature Over The Air... a friend received it today on his I9300 Edited January 18, 201313 yr by 2unique
January 18, 201313 yr The 4.1.2 update has also been made available to I9300T models. Evidently includes a new Thai keyboard, and greatly enhances performance.
February 2, 201313 yr Author Came through today. Battery life seems better, multi screen is brilliant and the Gallery quirks are slick.
February 2, 201313 yr Got it yesterday, haven't had time to really check it out yet, but battery time seems improved!
