[Verizon] "OFFICIAL" JellyBean Speculation

[Vin]

Just seen on DroidLife: http://www.droid-life.com/2012/12/11/verizons-galaxy-s3-page-highlights-the-benefits-of-jelly-bean-Ina-version-of-android-its-not-yet-running/

This, to me, not necessarily confirms the Friday the 14th scenario, but certainly makes me feel a bit more confident. I am checking OTA three times a day instead of my usual two.

There's certainly no doubt that it's coming and will be arriving fairly soon.

If you like to check regularly, here's the page that Verizon revised just before issuing each of the last two updates. You can see that it still has info on the last update for now.

That link is for the current version that is out, not Jelly Bean. When you click "Benefits of Software Upgrade" it lists IMM76D.I535VRALHE which is the latest build that is available.

Yep...that's what the guy said...He said that is the page they've been using to say when there's an update available...As in they should (based on history) update THAT page again just before JB comes out.

My bad. I misread it the first time around.

Yep, it's on the page Wnrgway listed...Should be interesting to see how VzW did on this one.

Maybe they're just fixing their mistakes...Like calling Google Now, Google Plus and putting up a pic showing on-screen buttons...Worst case is they got hacked and there's no update coming anytime soon.

The amazing galaxy s3

I downloaded and installed Kies just in case, do you folks think that Verizon will allow you to upgrade that way? I believe all other upgrades were OTA.

Kies has a note, when the device is plugged in that says, "your firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies".

The AT&T version showed that error about "your firmware version is not supported to update via Kies", right up until the update was available. So, that is the message you will see until the update goes out.

I guess not.

Did anyone get the version of JB it was supposed to be before the PDF got reverted? Irritating Verizon.

Edit: Nevermind, just saw the PDF and it's the VRBLK3 build.

Thanks. . . . looks like its going to be ota based on the instructions doc.
