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.

When you do the update does all your personal preference data stay the same or go back to factory? e.g. Home screen layouts and settings.

Thanks....

Your settings etc remain when doing snow OTA update

Well it's been updating via kies for about... an hour now and I'm on 62%.

And Kies very nicely puts the stupid updating window at the forefront of all the windows so it's just sat there... infront of everything!
