Well all I can tell you is that a notification appeared on my phones software update icon which I had put on my screen to make daily checks easier as a letter 'N'. I tried to update OTA but kept getting the message about the update being available in the order it was requested or similar. So connected to kies on my pc and it stated that a software update was available and hey ho it was 4.1.1.

Long press on the homescreen
Select shortcuts
Select Activities
Select Settings
Select Software Update

Alternatively instead of settings/software update select Software Update/Disclaimer

They will give you these shortcuts

I am in the queue! I can't stand kies so will happily wait for OTA now I know it's actually genuinely close

I've just updated my S3 to Jelly Bean but notice that the camera app is just the same as it was on ICS.
I don't have the new animation when taking photos and cannot swipe to the left to enter the gallery and have no filmstrip mode to allow for swipe up deletion of photos.

Is it just me or does the S3 jelly bean not have these new features??

Thanks for any help.

The s3 on ics didn't have stock camera software so why would it in jb?
Samsung have made their own camera app to handle their zero lag camera

I got fed of waiting so got thE BTU version from Sam mobile and flashed via Odin. I thought it would wipe the phone completely but didnt, when i boot up i had JB and everything else from the previous install of ICS.

To be honest, I don't know what the stock and non stock cameras look like in ics. I've only had an android phone for 3 weeks.
So basically the S3 doesn't use the stock jb camera/gallery app, it has a samsung one instead. Hence not having the filmstrip mode etc.
