yeah i kinda jumped the gun..no source at all i'm getting my hopes too much up.
Yeah source is lacking. I've followed all the rumors and at&t and Verizon have been pretty quiet in the rumor mills.
Sprint have officially announced a Oct 25 release date though
T-Mobile has a leaked image stating the 24th, but that was a week and half ago, but supposedly another leak shows that demo devices are being sent to stores
Heard T-Mo confirmed in stores this week.
Anyone hear same thing for At&t?
AT&T just announced Pre-order Oct. 25th with it being available Nov. 9 in all stores.

But I am new to the Droid world. Aren't sprint and verizon looked down upon for late/slow updates and locked phones?
That and Sprint plans don't include mobile hot spot..which puts them on par cost wise with the new shared plans at AT&T and Verizon.

Due to your newness most DROID users root their phone so upgrading is not up to carriers, and I have sprint and I get upgrades as soon as a rom permits

I called a sprint store and talked to this sprint rep that i had a conversation at the store with a while ago and he seems to be quite up to date and knowledgeable. he called the october 25th release before sprints big announcement. anyway he said earlier today that sprint stores should be getting the phones either tomorrow or thursday. the rumors of the 25th being a preorder date are most likely false, and i trust this guy enough to believe that we should be able to stop in at a sprint store thursday morning and pick up the best phone to date
hope you guys are as excited as i am
Does anybody know what the full price will be for the phone on sprint? Thanks

Verizon makes it pretty hard to get into the cookie jar while Sprint lets you in.
Sprints Galaxy S2 leaks flood development thanks to member "Sextape" thus xda development is pretty busy on device.
"Sextape" dropped Sprint leak for Sprint GN2 a couple weeks ago device not released so that's a good sign for things to come.

Yes...i am trying to learn the droid terminology. I've had an iPhone for 5 years and have only been concerned with Jailbreaking that.
Could you explain what people mean when I read "Verizon's phone has a locked bootloader". I took that as saying you couldn't root it to install the new rom.

Verizon makes Samsung put up roadblocks that delay development from cracking bootloader / obtaining root.
There's always worry crack cant be achieved but it does so no worries.

Locked bootloader basically just means you cant flash a custom kernel (i know its more im trying to keep it simple). Devs sometimes have workarounds for roms like kexec on the GS3 for instance.
With the note 2 i dont think ill be flashing it despite being a flashaholic for 4 years now. Just root to get rid of the bloat.
Thanks for the info everyone. Sorry of this is getting off topic.
So Samsung wants us to be able to do this, so there aren't any warranty issues? Where as Sony/HTC track who does it? Or are there work arounds for that too?

I was with Sprint about 15 years and they barely tried to stop me. Was promised 1 more upgrade in 2012 after I bought my E4GT with the premier program. Customer Service even noted my account. Told me in 3 months I will see my upgrade eligibility for Oct 2012. Didn't see it so called Sprint. After going up the chain and speaking to supervisors, the last person I spoke to actually saw the note on my account and even read it back to me. Said I was lied to and the rep gave me the wrong information and he cannot honor it.
He said usually I would let someone out of contract ETF free for this but since I can already get out for free because of the discount change there is nothing he can do. After being on the phone with him for 2 hours not believing he won't honor what I was told with the proof written in my account, he said I can give you a $50 credit if you want to stay and for your time on the phone just now. I said piece out and canceled mine and my wife's line.
Sprint used to care about their long time customers, not anymore so I saw no reason to stay with them...
Nice to see you over here!

Long story short I called sprint just to see when the jellybean update is going to hit the galaxy s3. The rep told me they will be pushing the update out between today and tomorrow. Do anyone else call BS on this?

Sprint told me they would wave the activation fee, put a note in my account and all I would have to do is call them after purchasing the SIII. Called the, they said no note existed, they said they wouldn't. Meh. the phone costs 235, no 200 guys.
The Sprint reps saying the update is coming I'd bet are thinking of the Nexus S update, which n ow DOES appear to be coming this week:

Not true in this case. Google does not support Sprint's version of the Nexus since the drivers are proprietary. Sprint will have Google's build to work from, but its up to the carrier and manufacturer to do the update in this case...

Let me start off with saying sorry if this is the wrong thread/forum to locate this:
I have an upgrade with AT&T that I can use and I am highly interested in the Galaxy S3, however I am more cautious than my last upgrade because I previously upgraded to the Nokia Lumia 900 and just a few weeks later, they released no windows 8 upgrade, etc for it. I am worried that if I plan to get the S3 somehow I will miss out on the next S4. I guess what I am asking is should I wait or go ahead with the upgrade. I am interested in it now, because I can get it for 149.99 and get a free $50 dollar credit to the google play store. Any advice would be great, thanks!
The S3 is a great phone with really good dev support. The S4 hasn't even been announced yet so that means it's going to be over 6 months before the US ever sees it. If I were you I would get the S3 now. At $150 +$50 play store credit that is a pretty decent deal.
We just got 4.1 jellybean and 4.2 (I think) is looking promising, hopefully. I mean, we still have approximately a year left of support from Sammy.

If any kind of SIV is releasing in April, it would be the international version, and even that is highly unlikely.
An announcement of the international version might come in April, but I highly doubt that the U.S variants will be in stores before June at the earliest.

If that's the case, I will most definitely not be purchasing it. I can only imagine the update delays when there are multiple carrier variants floating around. In fact, I think I'm done with carrier-branded phones altogether. As noted by another user, the GS3 is not going to become obsolete any time soon, so I may just hold out until the next Nexus, in hopes that it'll come with LTE. ::fingers crossed::

Samsung will be launching this device in 4 or so versions (Storage/Color wise).
My guess is that the device will launch in late April 2013 (Next Month)
So, Let's go ahead and talk!
(Ps. I'll update this thread when I get the device release date)
Worth a bump since I haven't seen a thread like this.
It will most likely have its own section

Well, It'll end up being how the T-Mobile/Verizon etc split up into different sections.

Not sure, it kinda makes sense though.
im kinda excited about this Android 6. Korean buddies are the 1st lucky guys who already received M 6.0.1 for their S6 2 days ago.
M is reported to have better performance, none (or less) ram leaked, longer battery life and, one of the most importance for me, much faster finger scan response.
I doubt it, its usually 1 month after next iteration of the phone is released (S7)

How is it "confirmed" if some dumb/clueless rep guesstimated it's release date?? No, just no guy... SMH
Leaked documentation that has been covered at a number of sites (here is the first that I saw http://www.mobipicker.com/galaxy-s6-s6-edge-s6-edge-s5-note5-note-4-android-marshmallow-update/ ) shows that the release will be going out to carriers between February and April, so this isn't that unrealistic. And it has already rolled out in Korea.
The unknown part about this is how long Sprint will take to have this out via OTA. If they are already working on a build and are just waiting for a final update, this could be spot on.

I have never understood why it is considered bad form on XDA to rush a developer to get a new ROM out; but the very same people expect Sprint to rush out an update to millions of people across multiple countries.

If you are going to get an LG phone, why not a Nexus?

The fundamental difference in your statement is that XDA devs do it on their own time for free. Carriers, not just Sprint, make millions off their customers. So they should be held to a much higher standard. However in my opinion, Sprint, compared to other carriers, has done a good job at keeping updated. I would say no worse than any other carrier. I mean look at the mm update on the Nexus 6. Every carrier got the ota update months before ATT finally put it out. And that was on a Nexus [emoji33]
