has anyone looked into or started a class action suit against Verizon. According to ppl on Verizon Wireless S3 support page Verizon didn’t get upgradability for there version of the S3. (don’t bother to go there and look at them, the moderators there censor the S# support page pretty heavy) this means ppl that bought the phone beacuse they were told it would have jelly bean soon..were lied to.

I’m having issues with Kies (go figure). When downloading firmware upgrade components… it gets stuck at 99%. I’ve tried restarting the computer and the software..

Well it finally happened…uninstalled then reinstalled Kies plus it’s update, then deleted any cookies in my temp files, then rebooted my laptop, Then I opened Kies, connected the phone to the pc with the cable it came with when I bought it. Then waited for it to connect, followed all the prompts and gave the necessary permissions, then waited….patiently. And low and behold it worked!! It takes quite some time but it worked. So if you have AT&T GS3 and are having trouble, go to this site, http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00050358&fm_seq=55362 and follow the directions, plus doing the Kies update and restarting your computer before you plug in the phone. Remember, be patient. The update is 207MB and takes time. Good luck!

Why dont you guys email Verizon with these complaints. I have been emailing them for a month now. If it were thousands, they will respond.

Kies is garbage…I’ve been trying to download this update since I received the notification email. I’ve had absolutely no luck. After chatting with Samsung’s online chat help and them telling me that my puter has to have Windows Media Player 10, .Net Framework 3.5 SP1, DirectX 9c, Adobe Flash Player on my windows 7 puter I thought yeah right buster….what program requres an outdated WMP? So it’s off to Best Buy for me. I’ll have them do the update for me.

I thought going with the best.carrier in big red we would have the quickest updates not happing guess.i should have went with the Note2 instead of s3.

It doesn’t matter who’s server hosts the update, you’re still using wireless bandwidth to download the file. When you download from Kies, you’re bypassing ATT’s network all together.
