Hey Guys,

Good news! The wait time is almost over for Samsung Galaxy SIII users. From tomorrow, 19th October '12, you'll be be able to upgrade to the much awaited 4.1 Jelly Bean update over Wi-Fi or via Kies.

If you have activated the 'auto-update' feature from out of box, you will be prompted to download the 4.1 Jelly Bean update.

Hi guys,

It's still the 19th, so I'm not sure why you feel you're being lied to. I'm assuming it'll be available today and just to be sure, I'm trying to get you the latest information on it.

Cheers,
Leonard

No official word on it may be the reason people are querying it..

You all need to calm down, just because your phone hasn't received the update yet, it doesn't mean that other S3 users haven't, just imagine how many S3 O2 phones are out in the field so it will trickle down to yours sooner or later and anyway, there is still 11 hours left of the 19th so stop behaving like children and get some perspective.

Right.. shall we wait till 23:59:59.999 today & then voice our say???? only to find out.. ohh it's sat now & won't be anyone to voice to until Monday business hours...?

Yes

And the reason we feel lied to is because of the inconsistency of information which is being given out by the support teams. Transcript of the chat I just had, the people on the phone seem to be saying the same thing too.

Ashley :

Hi, I was wondering when the update for the Galaxy s3 will be realeased?

Ashley :

from 4.0.4 to 4.1

Amy:

Whenever a new software is launched by the manufacturers, we investigate and make sure that there is no issues in it which may affect the phone. Once it's done, it's shared for all our customers on our website. As of now, the investigation isn't done, so you'll have to wait for a few weeks until it's launched by us. Your patience and understanding is appreciated.

Ashley:

There was a post on the community about it being today. That was from an O2 rep. Could you expand on that?

Amy:

I'm sorry about this but we'll be updating the O2 website soon with the details to the Software Update.

Don't be daft, just stop whining about it so much and give O2 a break!

[Anonymous]

I think this is a prime example of too many cooks spoiling the broth. And the one and only place where Apple is miles ahead of the rest.

[Anonymous]

Is O2 worried about 3rd service outage in as many months after jelly bean 4.1 push?

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

Just double checked and we're still okay for today, so nothing to worry about.

I'll hold you to that
