We cannot estimate an exact period of time, so for those who would prefer not to wait any longer, there is another way to enjoy all these improvements much faster. If you are one of them, then you have the possibility to manually check the update by going into Settings > About Device > Software Update > Check for Updates section, as our source also informs us.

Or, if you are roaming, you shouldn’t be expecting at any system update notice. This won’t happen and you’ll have to go in an area where Wi-Fi is available. After enabling Wi-Fi on your handset by going to “Settings” > under Wireless & networks and touching “Wi-Fi ON” to enable, you must select a Wi-Fi network and connect. The update notification will appear on your Verizon Galaxy S3 and if the system update fails to install, you will immediately receive an error screen. In this case, we advise you to remove and re-insert the battery and the smartphone will power on with the original software ready for you to try once again the installation process.
