[Seanjohn2239]

[SUroot]

Only the international version has 4.1.2 so far (and not all of us).

Probably couple of months for USA users

I received 4.1.2 not 30 minutes ago, sadly I don't see any multi-page view... (Fort Bragg, NC, US)

Hmm is it not in the notification bar toggles mate?
Cant remember if you have to enable it or not....
....woohoo first thanks welcome to the forum :thumbup:

I have mentioned this before sprint has not rolled out the premium suite 4.1.2 yet which is the multi view verison thwy released there own 4.1.2 for as of right now with some little minor none noticeable stuff

 

[funkylogik]

Ahhh.. so it was only the internationals that got the new features with 4.1.2?
Thats crazy what does 4.1.2 bring to the US phones then mate?

The sprint GSIII has 4.1.2, but not the premium suite that allows for multiwindow support

Android 4.2.1 brought about a few bug fixes that were present in android 4.1.1


Remember, android versions are google, not samsung

 

[funkylogik]

Right true man.
So the US phones are getting the android part of the update first and then the new touchwiz features once the carriers have farted around with it?
..i suppose it made sense to get a cure for SDS out there ase soon as possible

Not really no.

Its just being noted that 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 are google android released. Carriers cannot update their phones without samsung first building it for touchwiz.

Samsung are like cyanogen. They get AOSP code, make their own changes (called commits) then release it as a completely different ROM but the base (or the code that makes up the base) comes from Google.

When there's a bug on a samsung or HTC, its 50/50 as to whether its an oem bug or Google.

Usually, samsung fix their own bugs (created by them) in their own build numbers (XXELLA, XXEMB1 etc) where you notice you were android 4.1.2 both before and after the update.

Usually you will see Samsung package their new features in line with the Google versions they are releasing.

It just happens that they didn't in this case, release what they call the "premium suite".

Btw, no SDS in the US

Also read MetroPCS has gotten 4.1.2 without the Premium Suite. Looks like the US being treated like the Redheaded Stepchild again.

Thank your carriers. It takes them months of quality control testing

 

[Knightmare69]

Yea, the international phone get it but truthfully I don't even use it. Only certain stock apps are usable with it. I ended up turning it off all together.

 

[SUroot]

Yes its a shame that you need to root to get all apps to work. What were you thinking Samsung?

Yeah. Whats their reasoning behind that one??

 

[bearballz]

I suspect if we do get the Premium Suite here in the U.S. at all, it's going to be after the S4 is released. Which will probably be in May, so we have about 4 months to wait for this update.

There's been speculation that U.S. carriers may just go right to 4.2 and just forego this update altogether for the S3. Personally I would love to get the update but I think the chances are 50-50 at this point.

But you never know

 

[Rxpert83]

Even I'd they skip to 4.2, sammy will be giving them the update with the premium suite

Android version numbers and samsung features updates are completely different

Am I the only person on sprint that has not received any kind of update?

You're 2 otas behind. Have you tried manually checking for updates?

 

[jo1020]

Yes, to get 4.1.1.. I had to force it. Don't remember how i did it.
Something with google sevice framework.

Yep, clear the data.

But I meant have you manually checked for updates by going to settings>system update>update samsung software
