I've Got Jelly Bean on My GS3 and This Is What I Think!

This guy is right. I JUST manually updated and Google Now prompts you to turn on location.

I haven't received my update, but I'm waiting (im)patiently. However the recurring notification for messages is still being utilized on ICS, for it is nothing new. Glad you are enjoying the JB goodness!

I had S-NOTE sideloaded onto the phone and it is now non functional.

how do you change the folder settings i don't like the new ones thanks

**HoldFastHope** · 10-27-2012, 04:11 AM

I manually updated to Jellybean and I see that the notification bar is now gray. Does everyone else have a gray notification bar? When I pull down on the notification bar, it turns to black, the way it should be. I'm really not liking the gray.

HoldFastHope, thanks for mentioning this. I noticed this last night when I was using my phone in lower light situations. I thought I was seeing things until I noticed that there was a difference between my background and the notification bar. The bar itself is grey (and I've even noticed that icons on the left side look a little "washed out") while it does appear black when I pull down. I'm also not crazy about the gray and was actually concerned something was going wrong with my display.

The gray is ugly.

Can't say I'm a fan either. Maybe its something that will eventually grow on me a little bit, but right now I'm not crazy about it.

Side note, just wanted to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread as it made the Android Central "From the Forum" posted last night, at least I thought it was kinda cool :-). A lot of really good information and I'd like to continue as more and more people experience Jelly Bean and find all the little hidden treasures.

Has anybody noticed that there is a HUGE improvement to S-Voice?

And the voice got a lot more sultry!

I love the new folder settings, the old ones were so tacky looking IMO. I haven't seen any way of changing them though... Sorry

Damn you ATT. Why do you always have to be the last to update. Sprint smoked you on JB for GS3.

**jordo487** · 10-27-2012, 09:37 AM

I have loved pretty much everything about the update. I use a lot of folders and I love how the new folders look, open and close. Very clean and good looking. I also love the new wifi icon, as I can tell that there is no connection if I can't get to the internet. Not a big change for me, but really like it. I like the snappiness of everything opening and closing. I also like the new layout when you hold down the home button to close all programs, go to google or the task manager. I also like how notifications show in the top now when you slide the bar down, showing you most of the message if not all of it. Obviously there are a lot of changes, those are just some so far that I have really liked.

Mine seems to change from Grey to black and back randomly. I'm starting to watch to see if there's a pattern. I thought maybe it turned Grey when I got a notification but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I told you never to call me that in public.

Webpages load much faster. New color theme in the browser (though, I'll be likely changing to chrome soon). Alarms have cloud backgrounds. Camera has new effects. A small caption appears in notification or app reminding you can use voice commands (if enabled). I think I missed a few more tiny new things, but that's what I found for now.

Where do you see the voice command thing? I don't see where it can be enabled.

Start S-Voice and press settings. There should be an option for "Control Apps." That's how you enable voice commands.

It works great for me!!!

My battery life is horrendous now after the update

Lost 14% with two 3 minute phone calls and the rest idle time on 2hrs and 46m since it was unplugged

**smooches680** · 10-27-2012, 12:25 PM

I am on 92% while using 2h.42m.52s. I am in Ga

Frosty, I'm also seeing what looks like pretty rough battery life right now. As has been noted I certainly want to give it a couple of battery cycles before I think its a problem, but so far I do have some concerns.
