anybody notice your charging is going really slow. I mean really slow! I plugged it in at work at 64% and in 45min only charged upto 69%. Not normal speeds at all for me. Now 15 more minutes went by and it actually lost 1% charge. Switched on my WiFi during that time to see if that would help searching for updates via 4g as it is kinda weak 1 to 2 bars in the office here. Usually it charges up pretty quick.

I unplugged the charger from the wall and the Bolt still showed up in the battery icon. Not until I took the plug out of the phone did it go away but that still took about 5-10seconds to recognize. I find it strangely coincidental I am having these issues directly after 4.1.2 update.

If you still have the stock charger, put a different usb into it. Worked on mine

I was having that problem before the update. Changed out chargers, problem solved.

Charger at work and at home both are not charging at speeds they were prior to the update. I think the odds of that being the issue simultaneouly would be near nil.

Was on phone with Verizon tech support and they are pushing my a new PRL. We will see if that helps.

Had Media Battery drain issues before 4.1.2 & after ..... I even finally did a hard reset & still have Media Battery drain & now cannot copy files to SD from computer .... never had problems copying files to SD

I really did like ICS!!! NOT HAPPY with Jelly Bean at any level!

Cheers, Jon

Nope, same here. My wife and I both got new GS3s yesterday. Hers had the update waiting before we even got out of the store, and mine still says no new updates.

Same here.. my grandmother's new GS3 purchased yesterday is still sitting at 4.1.1 saying no new updates. My son's that was purchased today had the update waiting for him when we got home..

Ever since the upgrade my weather widget doesn't show the birth cake notification anymore. I really like this notification, i find it very convenient. Anyone know how i can get it back?

Guys!! The reason for Maps app battery drain can usually be traced back to one setting:
Go to Maps-menu button-settings-location settings-UNCHECK "Report from this device" helped me when I saw a drain in both 4.1.1 and 4.1.2
Hope this helps!

Bump

Still no upgrade. Does it have anything to do with my location?

Find a friend with a Verizon S3 who has gotten the upgrade. Put their SIM in your phone to download the update. Once it's downloaded swap your SIM back in and run the upgrade. This is what I had to do because each time I would check for the update I get the "Service Unavailable" message. This will only allow you to get the 4.1.2 upgrade but won't fix the software update check failing.

I believe this has something to do with the SIM or account provisioning on Verizon's side. Getting a new SIM from Verizon seems to be the only permanent fix.

Go to Verizon.
I had the same issue about a month ago, and they said it has been a reported issue, and some of their SIM cards have been acting wonky lately for some reason :s

OMG! I would rather slit my wrists than go into the Verizon store ... but, I guess you gotta do what you gotta do.

Finally got to pull the update down last night... yeah I won't be with Big Red much longer.. now to find a better phone.. Nex 4? HTC One? S4? ugh nothing really good out there right now.. this sux!

just got the upgrade yesterday. it installed without any problems, don't really notice any differences, but i do notice my bt devices seem to connect much quicker. btw, does anyone know how to disable that bt popup screen that shows up when you start bt?

 

[Hi_Tech_Redneck]

I usually leave bt on all the time on phone, so when i turn my bt device on, I don't get the pop up.

Went to Verizon store. Got a new SIM card. Upgrade downloaded flawlessly.

I just got the update 4.1.2 and i have split screen you have to turn it on most likely in the notification pull down screen to the right.

So.. I looked and my phone is showing 4.1.2 but I don't have any split screen option..
