How heavy is your usage though honestly?

I was initially getting just under 1 day of use and after I started using Juice Defender Ultimate I've been getting up to 2 days of usage with LTE on at all times.

I wouldn't classify myself as a heavy user by any means. Surf the web here and there, text and whatsapp here and there. Pretty avg usage I would say but 1.5 days isn't a problem for me.

Just ordered this extended battery after a lot of research:

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B008BVIV06/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Pros:
-Purportedly extends heavy usage of the phone up to 2 days with 9 hours of screen time
-Might be easier to hold in your hand with added thickness
-Build quality is excellent; the new back cover fits perfectly
-Camera Lens, flash, and speaker are recessed which offers slightly more protection
-Relatively cheap price point, if you want to ship it to a P.O box in the states using Amazon.com, its only $20.00 with shipping

Cons:
-Adds about 5mm of thickness to the phone
-Subjective, but possibly less visually attractive
-Limited selection of cases out there fitting the new dimensions

Conclusion:
If you don't mind the look and feel of the phone with the extended battery, its definitely worth it if you don't want to switch batteries and buy an external charger.

Found a flash player too

Newest flashplayer for jelly bean - xda-developers

Seems to only work with the native browser though, but now you can stream sports, TV shows, and movies with flash.

The pebble blue one is cheaper on amazon.ca... $30 + tax with free shipping, which isn't as bad - it would save you a trip to the states.

My power button has a little bit of play from side to side, but I wouldn't classify it as "wobbling". However I have been noticing my home button getting more and more loose lately.

One slightly annoying thing: they moved the attachment button underneath the send button in SMS

How do I download Jellybean? I didn't get a notice on my phone for any updates. I went to settings -> about device -> software update -> update, I keep getting this message popping up. "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later"

Anyone else with a Rogers S3 getting this? How do I get this official version of Jellybean on my Rogers S3 guys? Am i supposed to wait until my phone notifies me?

Thanks in advance.

Jesus, calm down.

It's probably busy from many requests and they only have so many download slots opened.

If I'm update do an OTA update, will I lose all my data?
