Just as T-Mobile’s network is graced with its first Android 4.2 device, another is dipping its hand in the Jelly Bean jar. TMo’s Samsung Galaxy S3 (SGH-T999) is now receiving its update to Android 4.1.1. While it isn’t the latest version of the Jelly Bean software, users can still expect plenty of enhancements, including Google Now and the performance-enhancing Project Butter. As part of tweaks to Samsung’s TouchWiz UX comes an improved pop-up play experience with resizable second window.
The official designation for the new software version is T999UVDLJA/JRO03L. It will reach users as an over-the-air update, but can also be installed directly using Samsung Kies. T-Mobile is the second US carrier to deploy Jelly Bean for their Galaxy S3 handsets, following Sprint’s launch of the OS refresh last month. The remaining US service providers are expected to roll out the update in the coming months.

Verizon hello ??
You should be saying Verizon goodbye. High rates and slow updates make their LTE speed not worth it. Getting average 9M down with T-mo and reduced my bill by 45%
Everything ain’t about updates. When you’re someone who tinkers with their phone you get those updates from leaks. And until the real one comes down the pipe you get excellent coverage(depending on where you are) and fast lte(I generally get 30mbps – 50). With unlimited data..
Premium price for premium service good sir.
And the more people support them, the more they can justify a closed off network.
How long until they find a way to stop non Verizon certified firmware / kernels from authenticating on the network?
Wanna play the ‘open’ card, then play the ‘open’ game!
Of course big red probably would want to do it but there’s things in the way of that.

Shocking, isn’t it?
i’m already downloading them right now from xda forum!!! Woot! can’t wait to flash them tonight
Oh the ROMs that will come from this
Great TMO. Now where is my multi-window for my GNote2?
Here’s hoping that the Note 2 update trails Sprint’s in a similar matter- ergo, within the next couple weeks.
wohoo! got mine! I did mine ota 340mb!
To those of you on Tmo, is it TRULY unlimited??? Or does Tmo slow your speeds when you reach a certain amount of GB’s?
Yep, truly unlimited. And loving JB!
It is truly unlimited but there is one caveat on the network. If there is a heavy load on the network, the unlimited plan gets “managed”. I’ve had areas that can reach as high as 13-15mbps with the Note2 suddenly run down around 3-5mbps during peak usage times. TMo states that they will do as much in the fine print.
i think thats pretty much any network. i’ve seen Verizon phones get 15 mbps at night and 4.5 mbps during the afternoon
So, those that pay the most, get the slowest speeds?
Is that what’s happening, the capped accounts will still get 15Mbps? Or aren’t you sure as you have unlimited?
I realise that there’s a finite amount of bandwidth, but slowing the people that pay the most, generally because they the data seems rather backwards!
You actually don’t “pay the most” for the unlimited.

This does not include the Straight Talk TracFone Galaxy SII.
Is it worth flashing the roms from T-Mobile over using Frost Jelly as my rom? I don’t want to lose my wi if tethering and hotspoting for free.
You probably wont be able to flash it OVER any other ROMs, The instructions I’ve read thus far and what I’m in the process of doing will likely wipe your phone, mostly because of how the update affects partitions (or so I hear, I don’t know the truth). Either way I’d recommend a full wipe just to avoid any possible issues.
What about losing root access and Wi-Fi Hotspoting for free?
its about time!!!!!!!!
What a good day my s3 got its update and my n7 also got its update
I actually restored my device last night due to an issue installing cyanogenmod now my question is the rooting method still the same or will I have to wait for a new method
upgraded a stock T-Mobile SG3 with no problems but just realized that
USB mounting isn’t working. Charging works fine but the phone nor laptop
sees that something is plugged in. Is this happening to anyone else?
