Good news for Telstra Samsung Galaxy S III owners as it seems the telco has approved the Android 4.2.2 ‘Jelly Bean Plus’ update.

HTC One users also have an update which has been approved for a roll out to your device expected to begin November 25th for Android 4.3 which appears to be updating devices to Android 4.3 JellyBean, with the update commencing for some users as early as today. The update too will be a phased rolling out to your device.
However the news isn’t good for Galaxy Note 2 users, as the Jelly Bean 4.3 update has been delayed by Samsung with Telstra now expected to begin testing this version from November 23rd with an expected rollout to begin 23rd December. However this of course is only the expected approval date and is subject to change.

Or just flash your own rom. Pick and choose what you want or don’t want pre-loaded and inlcuded in the rom. Like the Samsung camera app, then you can have it. Want to add tethering, (if your carrier charges normally) then you include it. But from Samsung’s… Read more »

I thought 4.2 for the s3 was being skipped in favour of 4.3…even though theyve halted that fail of an update anywho
HTC really have to speed things up on their end. 4.4 is already out
I think you mean Telstra ; P The HTC one will have 4.4 in the next week or two, well for the Google Play Edition at least.
exactly! The manufactures have their update sorted pretty quickly. As you pointed out, look at the GE HTC and Samsung phones.
