Here's a post. Thanks for keeping it simple AC!

Re: Fives days, five free phones: Win with Android Central, Poweramp and Negri Electronics! Free phone? I'm there....er, in...yes, sign me up! Thanks AC, Poweramp, and Negri for putting this together!

I love my cat, Cobalt. He's a (close enough) flame point siamese. He sits with me while I relax, he sits with me while I work, and he sleeps with me at night. He's an awesome cat/dude/friend.

As Twiztid put it..."Free is like my favorite word!" Thanks AC!

Hey Quadruckus...any update on the "janky-ness" of FoxFi on JB? As in...are you still receiving the IP address conflict every now and then? I too have FoxFi, although now I use it within the merged PDANet+ app, and am also using a Galaxy SIII with JB. At least once a day I receive an IP...

Thanks for the replies, folks. It definitely threw me for a loop...1) to be awoken at 1am!...and 2), to have Jelly Bean just automatically update out of the blue. Again, I was delaying the update so that I could continue using Foxfi for tethering, since I am on an unlimited data plan. Now...

Last night at 1am, I was awoken by the sound of my Galaxy S3 restarting. I first thought that my battery had died, and it was powering off. But no...it was restarting, after installing Jelly Bean. I purposefully have been avoiding the JB update so that I can tether with FoxFi (with which I...

139 Jellybeans

Thanks for the contest AC!

Here's a screenshot of what I get. As you can somewhat see in the background...there is no date associated with "Status last checked on". It has not been able to "connect" since day 1. Even though the Status says "Software is up to date," I'm sill on version I535VRLF2.

I'm not rooted...100% stock GS3 here as well. Again, the issue is not that it is not seeing the update and just can't pull it....the phone just cannot check for an update at all. My wife's GS3 has been able to check for an update since day 1....and her phone would actually say that the...

Thanks..but no. It did not work, at all. I tried the "Force Stop" multiple times...still receiving the "Service unavailable" error.

Yesterday I ended up calling VZW customer service...since it's been over a week since the GS3 update came out, and I am still getting the "service unavailable" error when I check for an update. Customer service had no clue, and just had me restart. I was then transferred to tech support, who...

Same issue here, Akakurt. Any luck finding any answers elsewhere? I've tried restarting my phone, pulling the battery, switching from CDMA/LTE all different ways...none of it works. I noticed in a couple other threads that people were unable to check for updates...but I take it this isn't a...

Why yes, I'd be glad to take one of those Nexus 7's off your hands. Thanks Android Central!
