Latest update - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone had an update on it this morning that took about 10 minutes to install so I'm assuming it was a big one.
Can anyone tell me what this update contained??
They should give a link after an update to show you whats new or whats been tweeked.

Actually, Samsung never do that, so you have to figure out yourself...

For your model i.e GT-I9100G the update is not yet available but may be around two three days you may get it.I own a xperia s not SGS2 but my friend has it.
I help him in updating via kies which is recommended as it backups all your data
You will get the notification for update

ICS is availble for I9100G, for several regions now, and has been for about a week or two. It's uploaded on various sites (Samfirmware.com is one) if you want to download it and install via Odin.
I got the update
Got it on my phone. OTA does not show any update though. IT was quite a hassle though what with Kies failing to download the update over over and over gain. It really took a long time (17 retries) for success. Worst of all it was downloading at pathetic speed.
Here's a short observation.
1. Data remained intact. This includes apps game saves etc.
2. Battery life is a little lower but it might be better after recalibrating.
3. The colour banding has been greatly reduced. Its still there, but you really have to look hard.
4. Overall coming from Gingerbread 2.3.6 it IS a lot more stable.
I'm testing other features now
At last i updated using kies but when i ran antutu benchmark its seems that the 3d graphics came down from 768 from 1120 in android 2.3.6, i dont know whether this is for everyone. Rest everything seems to stable and smooth. Pls update any new bugs or anything.

I installed a british ROM instead of waiting for OTA in US and rooted my GT-p7510. Now only hoping for a modded stable kernel for overclocking.

[Q] A new software update is available

So this morning the Easter bunny left me a present... My AT&T LGOG says software update available. Does anyone know if the bunny dropped off Jellybeans or just another egg?
I was trying to get a screenshot of the useless message, but the update tried to install and the phone rebooted. Then the firmware update screen reported a failure. After reboot my phone still works on ICS. I'm going to take a backup now and be safe as long as the update doesn't update recovery/bootloader...
Turns out my screenshot worked after all.

It's just the E97011c update people got back in December ...
What are the changes?
Got the same update notification but when I tried to install it, gave me a error message because I'm rooted. Was hoping it will be jellybean.

It isn't I woke up and installed it hoping it would be JB, turns out it is a minor update to 11c that was handed out to a lot of people in December.

Yes, I updated mine over my home WiFi
Can confirm OTA update fails if rooted and unlocked, even from stock ROM.

Was just wondering that. My E970 is rooted on the stock ROM. Doesn't seem like the update does anything useful.

were you rooted? If so, did you lose root or anything else for that matter?
Darn
Darn, I was thinking it would have been quite funny if AT&T released a candy named update on a holiday associated with said candy...
Yep, I am still on 10o so this is just the step to 11c.

Yes. Can you re-root it?
I'm on stock & rooted. Not unlocked.
Update notification went off this morning; read some of this thread; told it to let me know again in 8hrs.
Just went off again, I said ok, whatever, told it to update. It rebooted, & now it's just sitting there at the white, "rethink possible" screen.
Key combo reboot actually got it into the "software update" screen, but that then error'd at 1% complete. Error was something like, "01X03fed." It disappeared too quickly while I was typing this. Rebooted again, fully this time, and a, "Installation interrupted" warning is showing.
Hopefully the update notification will be gone, too...

Updated but didn't

I just updated To 4.3 watched it update and install but it still says this

My guess you deferred installing the update, try going back to software update and see what it says.

Same thing here. Strange. Spent 4-5 hours trying to OTA it yesterday, postponed the install a couple times until just now, and after doing its thing I'm still 4.1.2.
I have not yet being asked to update from AT&T Menu, I'm outside of US, (Ecuador), maybe will take a bit more time?
Anyway, I got the RUU thing, will wait a couple more days before doing it manually..
I dont want to lose everything though and do it manually

I'm having the same experience
I am also having this issue. Downloaded the update (took forever), installed the update while connected to power, rebooted and Voila!.....nothing. I went back into about phone and nothing changed. Even worse, now it says my software is up to date. What a let down as I've been waiting for this for awhile
I just checked and updated downloaded the 567 mb or whatever, and mine says 4.3 no problems at all. I checked for update under about menu and said no updates available, then checked under the att update and it said one was ready for d/l, not sure which u guys did it under.
The same thing happened for me yesterday. I did a software check from ATT on my phone and it said I had an update that was around 246Mb I think, downloaded it at the speed of molasses, installed it and nothing updated. I ended up having to jump my phone's date ahead 2 days and check for an update before it said I had one at 564Mb to download and install. After that I was at 4.3.

Little update: I did a factory reset then tried updating again, and that time I got the full 500+ meg download and am now running 4.3. So if you're stuck doing the OTA and it says you're up to date with 4.1.2, maybe do a factory reset and try again.
So, I think what's happening here is that there are a total of 3 updates needed. The first is only like 20 MB, the second is the 246 MB one that others have mentioned and then the final update is the 565 MB update that actually brings you up to 4.3. It seems that either AT&T or HTC has set a requirement that several days have to pass after installing one update, before it will allow the next one to install. So, I was initially told there was an update for my yesterday. I chose to update and it downloaded a 20 MB update that installed. Then when I checked the version and saw that it hadn't changed, I checked to see if there was another. After reading Shinryuu's comment, I manually changed the date on my phone 2 days forward and was then able to download the 246 MB update. I then checked again and the version was still 4.1.2. I then checked for another update and nothing. Then I manually changed the date on my phone forward another couple days and now I am downloading the 565.7 MB final update.
Yea correct that 246mb update didn't do much, but mine would say it was up to date, jump the time a day on my phone and I tried it again and said it was up to date BUTTT after I hit ok the download thing poped up and started downloading the 560 mb one.. kinda odd but it's 4.3
So can't really complain
