Okay so I just traded my T-Mobile galaxy s2 for the international note because of the terrible Dev support. I was browsing thru the development section over here and I saw that the be west from was updated over a month ago. Should I be worried that no new rooms are being released?

No bro, everyone's waiting for ICS. After the final version is released it will explode.

Thanks bro... Saved me lots of heartache
Yup, just like original s2, when more leaks arrive then more roms will be.
Devs don't worry to keep development gingerbread now since all works will going to ics.
It's just about time.

i may just have to switch over to a gsm carrier.
Is there a reason Verizon did not get its own forum for the S3 like the other carriers did?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
I don't know.... kinda weird.
Guessing it's because the Verizon S3 hasn't been released yet while the others have
Rogers don't have one either .. but everyone saying Rogers and Telus have the same version as Att..
So I'm guessing VZW and Sprint will be the same

It's still currently being discussed and we should know something in the next two days of how it's going to all play out.

When do you think we will receive the new ota and do you think all carriers will get it at the same time?

From my experience with my Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, VZW users will get an update about 6-8 weeks after everyone else.

Even though this is for International version, would devs be able to take anything from it and implement things for us?

The ota is for the intl version not for the usa version. The devices r completely different.

Well that brightness slider would be a GREAT addition in my opinion. I also wouldn't mind if the fixed the standby battery draw reporting glitch. Also, they could ACTUALLY fix the standby battery draw so the phone doesn't suck it self dry through the day from standby.
Oh yeah, the desktop background doesn't scroll when you flip screens. Don't know if that's a glitch, but it's just stupid and should be changed.
Another thing, the phone seems to just drop reception randomly even though it's in a fully covered area. This constant drop and pick up is suuuuuper annoying when you're surfing the web or using some messenger app. Also is a battery killer as well.
Improvements can always be made. It's nice to get the updates and nice to know samsung/att cares about our experience. (For sure ATT doesn't give two ****s so I hope Samsung can persuade)

Not sure if serious...
This phone's wireless/data radio are a complete pos. WiFi drops constantly, and it's just weak. I can't even believe how weak the signal is. You guys are worried about brightness...lol .
I've personally have had an issue where callers from my contacts list show up as Unknown. My Dad, with the same GS3, called me and asked if I was having this issue as he had been noticing it as well. Also, some others on xda have reported the same or similar issues.
I called and talked to a rep at tmo and was told that it was a known issue being worked on by tmo and sammy. Not sure when (or if) this will be fixed, but I'm hopeful.
So anyone else miffed that everyone but us has the update? I am amazed that Verizon got it first. Sprint is usually pretty good about timely updates.

Us cellular is still waiting as well. I'm guessing Motorola is going it one carrier at a time each business daddy so hopefully we are tomorrow.

Yeah can't forget USC...I'm back on stock unlocked boot loader waiting for it...within the week I'm sure we'll all have it.

I just went back to stock today too. I can't imagine it not being this week.

I'm not miffed yet. It's been less than a week since Verizon got the update. I'll start getting annoyed if it takes more than two weeks after the Verizon roll out.
The weekend probably stopped them from releasing any more updates for different carriers. If Monday comes and goes without another Moto X update then I would worry.

I'd trade the 4.4 OTA for an unlocked bootloader.

Yea, that's definitely a perk of being on Sprint or T-Mobile.
Still waiting here on Claro Brazil aswell. I think we use the same version than Rogers, so I'm waiting for that.

Take a nap, relax, go to beach, make a trip, go to university cause Kitkat for us Brazillian will be released in the same time that Motomaker will: NEVER. Its a damn shame this.
