Hasta La Gadget!

It was just last week that we talked about how T-Mobile has rolled out the Android 4.3 update for their Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE smartphone, news which will most probably leave Verizon owners of the Galaxy S3 wondering just when will it be their turn to enjoy the most recent operating system update. Well, it seems that all of that patient waiting has finally paid off, as we now know that Verizon’s Galaxy S3 is the next recipient of the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update, bumping up the software version to JJSS15J.I535VRUCML1.

Inside this update will also come with the same features that can be found in the AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile Galaxy S3 models, and that includes support for Samsung’s Galaxy Gear smartwatch. Assuming your Verizon branded Galaxy S3 has yet to receive the update, you can check out Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Updates. The moment the update is installed and everything is running fine and dandy, give it a long twirl to make sure that everything is all right. Other than support for the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch, this update also lets you access the Verizon Cloud and gain an open door to 5MB of free storage that will be conveniently made available on your device, now how about that?

A few weeks back a schedule was leaked online which detailed when major U.S. carriers will roll out Android 4.3 for several Galaxy devices. Most of the updates were rolled out according to the exact same schedule, however some took their time, AT&T is a perfect example. The carrier today rolled out the Android 4.3 update for its Galaxy Note 2 subscribers. Not only does it brings a major core OS update, it also adds support for the company’s smartwatch, which was released earlier this year.

Slowly but surely the Galaxy Gear support has been added to a variety of existing Samsung devices, including those that were released over two years ago. When it was initially launched, the Galaxy Gear only supported a handful of the latest Galaxy devices. The update also brings performance improvements and bug fixes apart from support for the Samsung Knox enterprise security suite. Premium Suite features are included in the update too, such as PEN.UP, Group Play 2.5, Multi-Window from Note 3, Group Messaging, New Easy Mode and more. AT&T’s Android 4.3 update for Galaxy Note 2 is being rolled out in stages so it may take a while before the update is live across all regions. Build I317UCUBMK6 should pop up on your device in the near future if it hasn’t already.

It has been nearly one month after the original Samsung Galaxy S3 on T-Mobile was on the receiving end of the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean mobile operating system, which means it should not be too long after that that the LTE-enabled model of the smartphone, too, would want to pick up some Android 4.3 Jelly Bean goodness for itself. Well, we are more than glad to announce that T-Mobile has already announced the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update will be arriving on the Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (t999L), where it will feature baseband version T999LUVUBMK4. This particular update will be making its way through Over The Air (OTA) as well as via Samsung’s Kies computer software.

Once you have updated your Galaxy S3 LTE smartphone to baseband version T999LUVUBMK4, you might just realize that your smartphone now supports Samsung’s very own Galaxy Gear smartwatch alongside its Knox security software. Samsung also did mention that the Premium Suite update will be accompanied by advanced camera options and a slew of other new features. Better late than never, I say. Oh yeah, and one more thing – if you are about to make that update, it is always a good idea to perform a backup of the existing handset just in case. [Press Release]

T-Mobile Galaxy S3 LTE Receives Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Update original content from Ubergizmo.

About a month back the much awaited Android 4.3 update for Galaxy S3 was leaked online. Build XXUGMMJ9 was officially released a couple of days after it leaked, however Samsung ended up having to pause the roll out because users who had updated reported various issues. It seemed that Samsung had rushed the update, so then the roll out was halted and users’ patience was tested. Android 4.3 for international Galaxy S3 has started rolling out today, this time the build is XXUGMK6 and it won’t cause issues that its predecessor did.

Stock international variants of the Galaxy S3, GT-I9300, should receive the update over-the-air in stages, so it might take some time before the update becomes available in your region. The update brings support for Galaxy Gear, reduces lag, improves battery life and also features some camera enhancements. Despite the fact that the previous built featured Samsung Knox enterprise security suite, XXUGMK6 doesn’t seem to come with the suite. While users complained of Wi-Fi issues, poor multitasking, battery drain, random freezing and more when they updated their Galaxy S3 to the previous build, so far those who have installed the latest Android 4.3 update seem to be pretty happy with it. If you were scarred last time, its pretty safe to tap that update now.

Now the update is being rolled out across the world for all variants of the device, the release notes call it a stability update which basically means that the problems caused by its predecessors have hopefully been taken care of.
