Consider this thread your one place to chat, moan and guess when the jelly bean update will come out, or anything else related to jellybean on the SGS3.
I need everyones help to keep this thread somewhat sane, report any trolling or flaming and don't respond to it.
All other threads on this topic will be closed.
Keep all your posts in this thread polite and make sure you follow the rules. I have bolded a few points.
For all your JB OTA needs, see this thread
1. Search before posting.
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Member conduct.
2.1 Language: XDA is a worldwide community. As a result what is ‘ok’ to say in your part of the world may not be ok in someone else’s part of the world. Please think about who is reading what you write. Keep in mind that what you think of as acceptable use of language may not be acceptable to others. Conversely, while reading member posts, remember that word you find offensive may not be to the writer. Tolerance is a two way street.
2.2 Nudity: XDA is used by people of all ages, including minors. It's not acceptable to post nude/pornographic imagery, which includes exposure of the male or female genitalia or of female breasts.
2.3 Flaming: XDA was founded as a group of people sharing information about certain mobile phones. Sharing does not involve virtual yelling (flaming) it does involve working together to solve problems in an environment of mutual respect and understanding. Losing your temper and flaming another member, or group of members, is not acceptable behavior.
2.4 Personal attacks, racial, political and/or religious discussions: XDA is a discussion forum about certain mobile phones. Mobile phones are not racial, political, religious or personally offensive, therefore none of these types of discussions are permitted on XDA.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.
2.6 All members are expected to read and adhere to the XDA rules.
3. Post only using a clear subject and message.
You're most likely to receive a helpful answer to your question if you use a short subject title that describes your problem and a message that explains in detail what your problem is and what you've tried to solve it.
4. Use the English language.
We understand that with all the different nationalities not everyone speaks English well, but please try. If you're really unable to post in English use an online translator, You're free to include your original message in your own language below the English translation.
5. Post a message only once.
As a large forum we don't need unnecessary clutter, You're free to edit your message as you like, so if you do not receive an answer revisit your message and see if you can describe your problem better. Not everyone is online at the same time, it might take a while before you receive an answer.
6. Do not post warez.
If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community
7. Do not spam.
If you wish to advertise a product, contact us we provide ads. But do not post it in the forums, it will be removed and you're likely to receive a ban.
You are however allowed to sell used goods like your own device, parts of your device or accessories for your device in the marketplace forum, please read the rules there before posting. (This rule includes signatures, if you use a signature it will appear in your post)
8. Donations.
We appreciate all donations to xda-developers.com, it keeps our forum online and well maintained. As a user you're allowed to ask for donations in your signature as a thank you for your hard work. However donations up front are not allowed, this forum is about sharing, not about getting paid to do something, that's what your job is for.
9. Don't get us in trouble.
Don't post copyrighted materials or do other things that will obviously lead to legal trouble. If you wouldn't do it on your own homepage, you probably don't want to do it here either. This does not mean we agree with everything the software piracy lobby try to impose on us, it simply means you cannot break any laws here, since we'll end up dealing with legal hassle caused by you. Please use common sense: respect the forum, its users, and those that write great code.
10. Help others if you can.
If you see posts from others where you can help out, please do. This place exists because people are helping each other, and even if you are relatively new to the matter, there's probably already quite a few people newer than you that would benefit from what you've learned. Don't be shy.
11. Don’t post with the intention of selling something.
Don’t use XDA to advertise your product or service. Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar/substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.
Do not post press releases, announcements, links to trial software, or commercial services. unless you’re posting an exclusive release for XDA-Developers.com.
Encouraging members to participate in forum activities on other phone related sites is prohibited.
Off-site downloads are permitted if the site is non-commercial and does not require registration.
Off-site downloads from sites requiring registration are NOT encouraged but may be permitted if the following conditions are met:
A) the site belongs to a member of XDA-Developers with at least 1500 posts and 2 years membership who actively maintains XDA-Developers' support thread(s) / posts, related to the download,
B) the site is a relatively small personal website without commercial advertising/links (i.e. not a competitor forum-based site with purposes and aims similar to those of XDA-Developers.com.)
12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission, and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails then you may contact a moderator with clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence you created the work then in the spirit of sharing all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by the dev or freely share it. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the dev decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use.
In regards to permissions, same rules remain for this but if permission was already given, unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under severe circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.
13. Advertising and Income Generation
Commercial advertising, advertising referral links, pay per click links and other income generating methods are forbidden. Do not use xda-developers as a means to make money.
14. Create only one User Account
You are allowed one User Account at xda-developers. If you create additional accounts, Moderators will disable them and your original account may also be disabled or infracted.
15. Keep posts/threads on-topic
Whilst a minor amount of off-topic posting may be overlooked, the general rule is your posts / threads must be relevant to the Forum / thread in which you are posting.
16. Bumping Threads (posting simply to force a thread to the top of the thread queue)
Do not "bump" a thread more than once per 24 hours.

Nice!
I'll start. I dont think JB for our devices will show today for some reason. I think it will be a week or 2 yet.
Somehow,i have the same feeling about this also...
But i'll just keep checking the forums...LIKE A MADMAN!
As much as I'd love it if the update comes on the 29th I won't hold my breath. Updates never seem to happen when they are rumoured to be happening unfortunately.
I could be wrong but I can't personally remember any that came out on the date they were rumoured other than Apple crap that is released on known dates
Hi everyone. Wanted to know..will I lose my pictures and other files if I upgrade to Jellybean?

Unless you choose to do a factory reset then no.
However, as always with updating firmware, always back your stuff up. You never know!
Thanks for this sticky lets keep the boards clean
On topic: I'll be checking for JB tomorrow in case the rumors are true, here's hoping (watch an ICS update come with a version number similar to the JB leaks just to troll us)
Good idea with the thread :good:
I was getting a little frustrated with all the "Jellybean update now!" threads that had me thinking it had arrived!
I am looking forward to it though, I'm guessing within the next few weeks...
I've played around with a couple of the leaked JB ROMs, but I'm currently going through a phase of enjoying a completely stock experience, so I'm eager for JB to arrive.
Good job, admin! The SGS3 forum desperately needed some cleaning up! Try going over to the HTC One X forums. Theirs is all clean!
I've heard that the Stock JB for Galaxy S3 I9300 will be released today. But nothing came out but the Latest Leaked Version: LH8...
What's happening????(((((
I'm currently running LH8, seems pretty stable. Only one issue found so far AllShare Cast is on and if I try to turn it off it turns Wifi off as well. Turn Wifi back on and AllShare turns back on as well.
With Touchwiz I can now add apps to folders inside the app drawer without it pooping itself everytime (seemed to be a common issue with the other JB's)

i wonder why that is. teehee
:victory:
seriously, theirs is clean because they are all currently enjoying 4.0.4
I love the fact that samsung is now really working hard to bring us the best possible flavor of jelly bean. If I remember, there were not much leaks for ICS. Overall, I am loving the improvements.
We are waiting JB and we will get it soon. Whats after JB?

It's official from today but it will be pushed within next days, so have a little patience. After a month you won't remember if it was We or Fr wen you got one.
Just moved from HTC Desire JB custom rom to S3. There isn't sooo much new compared to Samsung addons in stock rom. Google now is cool, maybe some more smoothness will come along as well but no big leap as from GB to ISC.
Just wait til it's 6pm in germany and the samsung press conference at "IFA" starts.
I am almost certain that samsung will not be releasing the update today, and I am even more certain that they won't officially mention it at IFA today, it was all a silly rumour thats got way out of hand.
The update will arrive in the next 2 weeks (IMO) but today is nothing special.

Inspired by the fellow member on the wpcentral forum, I have started the online petitions to force the top developers to review their position on Windows Phone Platforms and consider bring their popular iOS and Android applications to the Windows Phone Platform.
First Petition Posted
Second Petition Posted
Please support and spread the word on these petitions. If you would like to request an App and the Developer added to this petition, please review this post and post your preference. I will work with the post owner to gather your requests and post to the petition.
Here is the direct link to post your App requests.
Windows Phone 8 has the momentum at this time and only way we can force the developers to reconsider their position is talking to them directly and show that there is a good user base who will use their apps on WP platform. The petitions expire January 28.
Thanks everyone for your support.
Ahahaha this is the stupidiest thing I've ever seen in ages

You'll do better to petition microsoft to release sales numbers, and present that information to develoers as a possible user base. As is now, there are no official sales numbers, leading devs to believe sales are very weak. If/when microsoft posts a positive forecast, you'll get your apps. Until then, its pissing in the wind.

How's it going everyone my name is Roel and this thread is for my newly released app on the Playstore HQ Papers
(Since I can't post links yet, get the app by going into Playstore typing HQ Papers
This is my first app to put on the Playstore but I'm really happy with it, especially since after only a couple of days it is already ranked #77 in the top new paid for personalization, and I thought it wouldn't even get under 100. Currently when you get the app it comes with 239 wallpapers that I made all myself. In the app you will find ten different categories , starting with Android, Batman, Diamond, Football Teams, Parallel, Random Triangles, Smokey, Stripes, Square Triangles, and Two Tone. The thing that makes my wallpaper pack unique is the variety of colors it has for each category. If you looked at my stripes category you have two decisions to make: Which color do you want the stripes to be? Either black or white. Secondly what color background? A lot of other packs might only give you a couple of options, but I give you 18 different colors to choose from. I made it like that so that you guys can make sure you have your favorite color to show off, and if you still don't find your favorite color, then e-mail me, or also make the request here in the HQ Papers community .
*For this app you will see plenty of more updates to come in the future, with endless wallpapers!
*Please support me by rating 5 STARS and also giving the app a plus one! If you really enjoy my wallpapers then go ahead and tell your friends about this app!!!
Newest Update: What's New
Now there is 239 wallpapers in HQ Papers.
The following categories have been added:
*Android
*Batman
*Parallel
*Stripes
This is the first app I've put on the Play Store, and it surely will not be the last. Talk to you later : ]

Proprietors of for-pay products or services, may use XDA to get feedback, provide beta access, or a free version of their product for XDA users and to offer support, but not to post with the intention of selling. This includes promoting sites similar / substantially similar to XDA-Developers.com.

Please read this guide "A Guide to Paid Work on XDA-Developers"
Also this thread should be in the paid app section, but to post there you must be a member of XDA for over a year and have 100 posts.
Hence thread closed.
Just stop around & have a look to this thread. A thread for the devs & themers who contribute a lot to the forum, & can become a Recognized Contributor/ Themer because they are worth the title, as they work so hard to bring the users with something new to xperience & that too free of cost.
Special Thanks to the XDA Member @Zatta for his thread to explain the process to become a Recognized Contributor/ Themer as stated below.
So over on the Recognized Contributors forum, it has become clear that most members of XDA don't know that you can apply for the title of Recognized Contributor (RC). I have also included the same for Recognized themer, as I am assuming that it's not well known that you can apply.
What is a Recognized Contributor?
Recognized Contributor is a role intended for members who produce some of the best original and helpful guides for users, as well as helping other users who have problems, in a friendly manner. Recognized Contributors will get a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Contributors, should you feel deserving of this title.What is a Recognized Themer?
Recognized Themers are those users who work (often tirelessly) on designing new theme graphics and user interface overhauls for ROMs. Users who aspire to be Recognized Themers should be creating original graphics work for their themes being released, demonstrate a commitment to crediting other users’ work when applicable, and seek the relevant permission in advance from the original creator. Recognized Themers will receive a custom user title and the faster ad-free XDA template, as well as access to developer tools currently being created. Any Senior Moderator on XDA can add Recognized Themers, should you feel deserving of this title.Pre-requisites
1. Been a member for at least 1 year (willingly following the XDA rules) with consistent and acceptable activity in the last 3 months.
2. Posted good original threads:
a. Threads that are guides/ index / collective information.
b. OP of ROM threads and have a good support within the ROM thread or via a separate thread in the Q&A section, and some activity in Q&A section or other threads besides their own.
c. Place holder threads (discussions of home screens/ wall papers / Off Topic, etc) are NOT accepted.
Exception: A proper place holder for a new phone with details and other important information and further maintaining the Q&A on the device.
3. In case of no independent threads, the following may be accepted:
a. An FAQ (or support post) within a ROM thread.
b. Generally moving around from thread to thread to help members – the "Post Count Vs Thanks" could be used as a means to measure to this.
4. Good quality general know-how around XDA forums (not necessarily developer standard)
5. Thanks count broadly expected given the forums they are in.
6. Posted regularly enough (complementing point 1) to provide continuous support or less frequently but good high value support
7. Contribute to a good over-all general atmosphere.
8.You have read, understood and already adhere to the Recognized Contributor Code of Conduct.
How can I apply?
You can apply by sending your application via PM to:
A member of the RC-RT Committee:
ApriliaM3, KennyG123, Mr. Clown, PG101, Judge Joseph Dredd, Woody.
Any other Senior Moderator
Any FSM.
Any existing RC, who will pass on your application forward.
Choose whichever route you are more comfortable with, the end result is the same. All list of moderators can be found here.
Best way in which to apply through your PM
When you are writing your application, you will need to include:
A polite hello
Your username with a link to your username, they will want to check your history.
Why you think you would make a good RC/RT, including a little about your time on XDA.
Links to your work including Guides, Ref, Roms, Projects, Apps(Themes for RT) etc
Do not forget to include 7/10 links of threads/posts which would be helpful in assessing your application.
A thank you for their time and good bye (Manners are free)
Please note only apply once to one committee members, do not send 3 applications to 3 different committee members. Also be patient, the committee members are very busy people and have other work on XDA and in personal life. I would recommend a waiting time of upto a week; and if you receive no response within a week, then a reminder PM.
Please do not bombard the committee with PM's.
If you are having a problem with your application or you would like to appeal a decision made on your application, then you can contact the RC-RT Committee through PM.
If you do get accepted as a RC/RT then please come and visit the RC's forum and help contribute to our work and cause to make XDA a better place
If you have any questions then please ask, myself or the other RC's/RT's will help in anyway we can.
WHAT THIS THREAD IS NOT: A PLACE FOR PRE-ASSESSMENTS.
Press Thanks :thumbup: If I Helped
