chances are a fix permissions woulda fix that
I tried but nothin'.
I'm not going to pretend I know what that means (even after googling it) but I moved the .apk into the system apps then went into recovery mode, fixed permissions, but still can't open it. I'll just pay online, the old fashioned way.

pnut had a metro s3 but gave it to his wife since he got a note 2 from sprint its safe to say he does have a metro s3
So is it true that the update is being rolled out or not?
It seems like it's not being rolled out anywhere, nobody here can get it to work as of now.
I don't really care too much for JellyBean right now though, I just want to know if there even is an OTA floating around out there. Also I remember someone saying that it changed from February to March. So I don't know what to think of that.

My wife got the update yesterday
Edit: forgot to mention you have to be on 100% stock to received the updated if your on a custom rom and you get the notification that theres an software update and you except it you wont get it, it will send you to your custom recovery (twrp or cwm) wat ever recovery you flashed.
So your wife is the only person with a MetroPCS gs3 to get the official update?
You mind uploading a picture of her about phone log?
Do you have to be unrooted as well?

no most of us use twrp recovery its like clock work mod but on steroids so for me i made one stock backup of ics rom with all bloatware that comes with our phone. then i have 5 other recoveries of roms ive personally used such as bb6 bb7 and aokp and cm10 and metropolis roms. when the official jb firmware is released that will just be another stock rom for my collection.
i take it you havn't installed any custom recovery? if so i highly recommend twrp.

Yea, now that i think about it music hub and help is in 411 and i think 412
Suggest to put samsung apps and more services in data folder like in #2 if thats possible so you can easily uninstall if you choose to. Perhaps mymetro as well. I dont know if its possible. Again, just suggestions.

even though my phone is rooted, under device status, it shows "Normal" wonder if that will effect the "update to JB"? not sure how I got it that way but this is what I did. returned to stock unrooted, rooted phone and loaded TWRP for recovery, did a back up, and then tried Carbon ROM... few days later decided to go back to the backup that I had, and after reboot, checked device status and it showed "Normal"

thats just saying you have a secured boot.img, still might want to put on the stock recovery before agreeing to anything
MetroPCS Hello Giovani - We expect to have the Jelly Bean udpate available this month, February. Anyone with a GS3 will be able to upgrade at that time (current and new customers). Stay tuned for more updates! Thanks, JM.......... this was on metropcs facebook page 3 hrs ago.... so we will have JB in the next 8 days...
At this point, I think most of us just want to get anything. Although you can get JellyBean with a ROM already, there's something about a nice stock feeling that I just like compared to ROMS (no bugs obviously), I would guess 4.1.2 though.
Leaving from the the Indulge has left a horrible imprint on Metro for me though, we got nothing. Although I know this is a new phone, and it's clearly better in every way, it can still happen. Although there would be more people to piss off this time, unlike the limited people who had the Indulge.

yes and no, there is no stock jellybean rom. metropolis 1.0.5 is based off the official metropcs software i got, didnt do anything major to it besides convert it to flashable zip. so any bugs in it are so far from samsung (and my crappy script :O)

The ROMS here are good, but I just like to wait for OTA updates myself. Though if they fail to come through by the end of March, I'll start using Metropolis.
