Rogers Samsung Galaxy S3 SGH-i747m

**ChuckeeDroid** · 09-04-2012, 06:47 PM

Just got a firmware update today. Will check for changes after the update is complete.

- OS is still 4.0.4
- Notification colours appear to be fixed. Apps that use the LED's show the right colours.
- baseband version is different so I guess the phone software is updated.
- brightness slider and auto brightness toggle added to notification shade

I don't see anything yet... :-(

**Madness87** · 09-05-2012, 12:18 AM

Me neither... Why would you get the update but no one else?

**ChuckeeDroid** · 09-05-2012, 01:25 AM

Use kies. I didn't get it over the air.

**mzanette** · 09-05-2012, 06:34 AM

I connected to Kies and I see the update as well

**mzanette** · 09-05-2012, 07:39 AM

This is what the update said. I'm new to the S3 and updates, weird that it doesn't really tell you what is being updated.

"Upgrading *may* improve the performance". Way to go out on a limb there.

**Roboticz** · 09-05-2012, 08:11 AM

Ok I see it now too... but I wasn't able to download before work...

**snoopyandroid** · 09-05-2012, 08:26 AM

I connected using kies and it says my current firmware is:

PDA:LE8 / PHONE:LE8 / CSC:LE8 (TLS)

Looks like I don't have the latest firmware and I'm not getting it, at least not yet.

Anyone have any ideas as to why?

Thanks.

I notice in brackets you have (TLS) whereas I had (RWC)..are you with Telus? I'm trying to decipher those codes and I assumed TLS = Telus while RWC = Rogers Wireless Corp

**snoopyandroid** · 09-05-2012, 08:37 AM

Yup, I'm on Telus.

That could be it. Maybe it's a carrier specific thing to do with Rogers version of the S3? Who knows, they didn't tell us much of anything about the update.

**mzanette** · 09-05-2012, 08:47 AM

FYI, there's a thread about the Rogers update on XDA.

**snoopyandroid** · 09-05-2012, 08:53 AM

People on Telus have been reporting getting the update, so I don't think so. I guess I'll have to wait and see what happens.

Can you post a direct link?

It's funny, I have no ota update and no kies update. There are several links to download the file using Odin, but I'm not rooted, so I don't think it'll work, or will it?

What Carrier are you on?

**linoleum87** · 09-05-2012, 09:54 AM

I'm on Telus, and am updating currently.

I am on Rogers and got the update on Monday night...also noticed some differences in the camera. There are a few more options on screen it seems.

Plus in addition to what others have posted of course. If anyone comes across anything else please be sure to post it up.

**bassmig** · 09-05-2012, 01:57 PM

I am on Telus and got the notification for update yesterday morning. Have updated and the only difference I had seen up to date is a brightness slider on the notification pull down and a seriously deteriorated battery life (yesterday) seems fine today. I had a 17% SD card battery usage.

Does any one know what the update was for?

I could not find any release notes regarding it.

Hmm... Kies keeps telling me... "Failed to run firmware upgrade. Unknown error occurred."

**ottawaxblade** · 09-05-2012, 04:20 PM

I've got an SIII that I bought outright from Bell, had it unlocked and using it on Fido.
I got a notification yesterday of a firmware upgrade... I was about 50% completion of the firmware update when I decided to kill it, as I didn't back up my data. Now that my data is all backed up, I can't seem to get the phone to check for the update. It keeps telling me that there is no update. Kies?

**canuck82** · 09-05-2012, 04:24 PM
