Handset updates - 19 January 2013

[carowi]

Hi Craig,

Do you know if there will be a Jelly Bean update for the HTC Velocity coming in the future?

[Freakazoid]

Aww no updates on the HTC One S situation?

Love to also know when 4.1.2 will be released!

4.1 has been released for a while now for the Samsung galaxy 3. When will 4.1.2 be available? I notice that it has been released for a week on other network providers.

I would love to know this too! Just read that Vodafone have the update and starting to test.

Optus just finished testing of 4.1.2 for Galaxy S3:

As shown above Vodaphone have a build in test.

So how about Telstra?

If my S3 dies from this known issue that should have been released already, Telstra better do a direct handset swap for new in the shop and not screw me around for weeks

you can always install the XSA Jellybean 4.1.2 from SamMobile (http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=1061) using ODIN, which will give you the latest and greatest Jellybean experience on the Telstra branded S3, without the 2 Telstra apps...

let's not get carried away with calling it bloatware - I'm no fan of carrier branding, however the Telstra mods are minimal.

• Boot Logo
• Navigator
• Quickflix (a.k.a Movies & TV)
• Telstra One

oh, and if you have a PocketNews enabled SIM, you get that icon too...

I had massive stability issues with 4.1.1 and rolled back to 4.0.4 (Baseband I9300TDULH1) using ODIN, and have been stable since...

Vodaphone have approved the Galaxy Nexus update to 4.1.2 and are awaiting the roll out to be done by Google.

All we can see on the Telstra update page is a bunch of TBC's. Hmm.

[DeanM]

They approved it over a month ago and gave it to Google. Google wouldn't take that long to roll it out, so if you thought about it for a minute you might decide that maybe the deployment is on hold due to the same issue Telstra and Optus have found, and that they've just failed to tell anyone so they don't have to admit they did crap testing.

Thanks for sharing that, while that article does hold extremely true I feel it doesn't hold water in the Galaxy Nexus case. For a "Google Experience" phone with little to no customization required, how did something so simple become such a huge farce? while I understand Telstra are working hard to bring the update to us soon as possible, can't help but laugh at the enormous mess this has become.

The RAZR M JB was meant to be approved today; any news whether this is correct?

I'm super unhappy with telstra with the fact it's taking so long for the "Nokia Lumia 920" update to get approval. This is a critical upate because the phone is unuseable with out it.

Just to recap all issues with nokia Lumia 920.

• Restarting and hanging on a black screen where you forced to do a power off with 3 keys that normal user would not know this issue happions 5 or 6 times a week.
• Can not send text messages get a "Can not sent" message with no error log what happions around 70%
• Battery go flat super quick with in 2 hours.
• All photos are blured unless in low light and it takes around 1 min for the phone to save .
• NFC has to be turned off or handset hanging 10+ times a day.
• Skype Causes the people hub to crash and incoming calls to not be ID.
• long text messages are send as mms what fails around 99% of the time.
• Facebook APP crashs around 100+ times a day. If the phone go on standby the facebook app just shows the actions bar at the bottom and crashs.
