It will supposedly be on August 29 when the Samsung Galaxy S3 is updated to Android 4.1. This would have been assured by internal company sources, although without having made an official confirmation. That day an event in which the company will present new products to its catalog in the anteroom of the be held IFA 2012, the electronics fair to be held in Berlin between days 30 August and 5 September, and would then when it was announced that the company's high-end would catch up, just about two months after its presentation, with the latest and complete Google for smartphones .
However, while the long-awaited update is coming, it must be borne in mind that the guys at Samsung have one last icing in store for Google's ice cream sandwich. In this case, it is a package of system improvements that appears almost like an epilogue in the story of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich on the Samsung Galaxy S3.
It is a set of solutions for Android 4.0.4 that repair some minor bugs in the operation of the platform. The package weighs about 27.4 MB, so the download and installation will be quite fast, and will not require the need to do it from a Wi-Fi network: if you wish, in a few seconds you can have it if you want to do it with her using the 3G connection of your Samsung Galaxy S3.
These improvements for the most powerful mobile in the South Korean firm's catalog will gradually reach all the devices in the series, although the rate at which it will be deployed is not known. To check if your terminal can already catch up, just try two ways. On the one hand, you could use the OTA system ”” Over the air , that is, wireless ”” of the device itself.
This will tell you if your mobile is ready. You can check it automatically or manually. This section is found, once inside the settings menu, in the Software updates section, which is accessed from About the phone. Once there, you can tell it to notify you automatically or scan the servers to see if the improvements are already available on your Samsung Galaxy S3.
The way to proceed with the update would be looking for it in Samsung Kies. Kies is, in case you don't know, the desktop application with which the Korean firm provides its users with a tool to synchronize content between their mobiles and the computer. It is, so to speak, Samsung's alternative to Apple's iTunes. And so, as in the case of the Cupertino program, from Kies you can also check the availability of system updates.
The idea, therefore, is to do that, in case we find new versions of the platform with which their devices work "" or the new package of improvements for Android 4.0.4 in the Samsung Galaxy S3, in this case " ”, Was downloaded through this application and I bridged the installation from the computer to the phone.
