I have never experienced this problem myself, so it's hard for me to understand what has caused it. However it seems that there's a lot of discussion related to those specific keywords

Lost connection with device while launching

you may want to try each and every solution they offer, maybe something will work for you.

If you can post direct link to the solution which worked for you that would be great. Most of threads mentioning this error are quite long, so it would be great to have a link to solution which worked for you.

btw, off the record, am using a GT-i9300 s3 with android version, 4.0.4. i have heard rumors that it is possible to update this to jelly bean or something much better. do you know anything about that!

to jelly bean or something much better

I think the only "much better" was upgrade from 2.3 to 4.x.x

IMHO all other upgrades is just marketing, to produce in the crowd the following reaction: "Hey I have the latest android Jelly Cake Honey Sandwich! I am so cool!"

Usually the "Upgrade rule of thumb" is:

Is your android version less than 4 (ie. 2.3 or 2.2 or 3.x?) - upgrade
Is your current version of phone crashing all the time - upgrade (or often downgrade)
Are you a hard-code Android developer looking for a specific feature implemented in API17 (eg. Secondary Displays or Lockscreen Widgets) - ugrade

not any of the three above?

well, then whatever you have is fine.
