Android 4.1.2 update for Galaxy S3 now out

We’ve been seeing the update alert for Android 4.1.2 on our Galaxy S3 for several days now but the update is still queued by request. This morning, we finally got our turn to finally download the update.

Android 4.1.2 fixes some bugs and minor enhancements into Galaxy S3. The update is about 153MB in size.

To update your device, just connect to a local WiFi and go to Settings -> About and hit Update.

I got mine updated last week pa. The update brings a lot of improvements and it’s got few new features like multi-window and you can already change the things to put in the notifications. So far so good for me.

Where did you get your S3?

Samsung is sending the updates by region. Its possible that your region is not yet supported by the update to 4.1.2.

The toolbar appears when you started s3.

Hi Yeye,

try to turn off the “delete old messages” option.

Go to messaging > message setting > delete old messages.

And/or try to delete some for your messages as well.

Hope that works for you too.

Guys ,

Any feedback on the battery performance of your S3 after the update?

Some people are saying their S3 battery drains faster now in 4.1.2 than in 4.0

If i click install all, will the latest update erase all my data and reboot again or my apps would still be installed? PLEASE. i need answers. Thanks! :)
