What phone are you talking about? GS3 is not a nexus device and has never been marketed as such. Also, it’s not even a year old…

For anyone wondering, I had a completely non-functional GPS even after a total system reset (ALL data including SD card (internal) wipe, total factory reset) and this update fixed it. Thank god, I was just about to order a refurb, I thought it was completely fried.

So, ANYONE WITH GPS PROBLEMS, FLASH THIS! IT’S GREAT!

Verizon screwed us all by using the nexus name to sell the phone knowing damn well that it was not ready for use upon release.Also they knew that if there was more exposure in advertising for the phone,no one would want any other phone they had to offer,due to it specs at the time.What kills me is that this phone is still powerful enough to be at least 3 to 4 years behind newer phones and still keep up without breaking a sweat.

Finally got it downloaded and installed last night. Initial impressions are positive. My battery drain DOES seem a bit less than it was with 4.1.1, though it still seems to drain faster under the exact same circumstances than ICS did. Yes, I have every batteryu-saving feature and trick enabled and I have my screen set to 25% nearly constantly.

Only major new feature I have noticed in the 4.1.2 leak aside from the new bloatware group WiFi share thing is that the camera app seems to start up a tad faster and has the shutter hold for burst mode borrowed from the Note 2. I will gladly take any battery and camera improvements. So for now I am leaving this leak on my S3 and will see how the new radios perform.

No, I’m doing the $50 unlimited everything plan. I would have picked the $30 one, but I use more minutes than that.

1) Tmo has great service in my area and with the lack of LTE, Tmo’s HSPA network is faster than ATT. 2) Every since 4.1 I saw no need to root or flash custom roms. Using 4.2.1 sealed the deal. I am more than happy with pure stock android without having to dick around with root blah blah blah.

if the GSIII gets 4.1.2 before the GNex on Verizon that’s the final proof that Verizon effed up the Nexus lol!
