AT&T Jelly Bean Update FINALLY Available via Kies!!!!!

[pounder001]

Don't think you can use Air, you are gonna have to plug your phone into your computer.

Oh ok thanks

HOW FRUSTRATING! D/L and installed Kies, connected SIII, selected upgrade to JB, D/L "firmware upgrade components". Upgrade screen closes, then Kies closes. No other activity reported, and phone shows home screen the entire time. I was able to backup phone using Kies, but upgrade doesn't work!
Uninstalled/ reinstalled Kies- same as above. SMDH!!!

Finally, after about 5 hrs, got it! If I had to guess, server congestion was causing it all...

Any ideas if backing up and then doing a factory reset will make me lose all my app data? I didn't 3 star all those damn games only to lose it. I feel like a lot of these bugs and jitteryness will go away with a factory reset.

Okay I finally got it.. Turn off WiFi and use 4g. It worked perfect.

On a side note. In the browser, typing in Swype does not auto space. Swype is buggy and the browser is buggy.

Any other issues or bugs people are having?

Latest version of Kies for Mac(Lion) doesn't work. I'll wait for the OTA from AT&T.

I used Kies on my MacBook Pro and everything worked fine.

I don't like that too much either, that was one of the changes I really liked with GB, the black notification bar.-

My notification bar is still black.

Don't forget, gang. There were like 30 Million of these phones sold. I don't know how many were on AT&T, but we could guess probably 5M to 10M units. That is a lot of people pinging the servers. You might encounter slow download times.

On the other hand, I'm very much looking forward to getting home tonight and updating.

took me about an hour last night. My internet speed sucks

Update is really slow for me. It's taken over an hour to get to 50% and nothing has happened with my phone yet.

Finally got it to work, but "driving mode" is not cooperating. Enabled it, but no voice reading the text messages. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a quick question. When I bought my S3, it was already rooted. Do I have to unroot before I try to install JB?

I think you can still update, but it will remove your root

It will remove root if I'm not mistaken. Just re-root after updating. Just ensure to find a good guide for your phone.


Enjoy JB though guys! I'm glad att finally is pushing it for yall .

Agree with smooth. Check by going to system settings > about device. Make sure it says 4.1 (see below post)

I'm liking this so far, in fact, the phone seems a bit snappier and memory footprint is smaller by a good 10%. The Google Now thing, or whatever it's called, seems a bit wonky, but after doing a required update for it, even that seems ok, but I haven't really worked with it a lot. I did notice S-Voice is still default when you double push "home".

Thanks. But I have it (Flash) now. Will it stop working after update? Just want to make sure.

 

[sk8mdw]

My flash still works after the update to JB.
