EMR2 have bugs

it killed my sandisk 32gb microSD card.

Media had a battery drain everything i unlocked the screen says the card was removed when it was not.

it eventually killed by card,

go back to ELLA roms!!!
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Too.....much......nonsensical.......gibberish.

1. No rom breaks your SD card. Sounds like you had a lemon.

2. The media scanner bug has been around for some time, and the only known fix is to manually kill it. (e.g. by using media scanner/media scanner root) apps on Play store.
[Galaxy S III General] jgalvez21:
i been manually killing all since i updated to EMR2 and it did not happen in ELLA
[Galaxy S III General] LenAsh:
Well, you're one alone.

No issues here.
[Galaxy S III General] Mikulec:
I will try to repeat it one more time: no rom can damage SD card.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Unless of course you're booting CM on your phone when your sd is formatted to exFAT. A reformat should solve that thought but as you say no rom physically breaks your sdcard.

I'm sure that guy had a lemon.
[Galaxy S III General] Mikulec:
That must have been some awesome lemon, "me want lemon".

Re: [Stock Official Firmwares] I9300XXEMR2 (4.1.2) - Germany (VD2) [07-02-13]

1.I agree that it's unlikely to be a rom issue. But it may be an issue for some of our devices and there is an entire thread dedicated to sd card issues with the s3.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1906058

Galaxy S3 - the sd card destroyer

2. I also agree that the media scanner issue is not rom related but the issue does tend to appear when you flash a new rom. There are plenty of known fixes though. Disabling media scanner is ok as a temporary solution but finding the cause and eliminating is more advisable. Most likely culprits are nandroid backups or thumbnail caches.

Some, but not all of the fixes, can be found in this thread.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2016202

Get Maximum Battery Out of Stock JellyBean ROM (plus fix Media draining much battery)

My advice to the original poster would be to check out these 2 threads and ask for advice on them as going back to XELLA is unlikely to resolve his issues

ROM Sotmax Ultimate V15

Kernel Yank555.lu-V3.2
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
The media scanner does what it's intended to do, i.e. scan the internal memory at every boot. Some times, though, it goes nuts when scanning and that's most likely if you have a gazillion of small files on your internal card, like if you have a few nandroid backups in the blobs format (which generates millions of small files in millions of random folders)
[Galaxy S III General] ricnar456:
the fix of media scanner is

delete videos of the phone, making this, media scannner return to normality, is not a bug is a video corrupted in your phone. (or a mp3)

When you solve your problem and media scanner return to normality, copy the videos and mp3 little by little to your phone seeing the media acanner, for detect the corrupted file, when media scanner return to eat your battery, delete the crafted file and you solve your problem.

why do i have the feeling that samsung wont release a new firmware for a long time.....and one another thing...do you think samsung will roll out update 4.2.2....i think that, that will be reserved for the 2GB ram version..

PS: have you noticed that the proximity sensor emits red light...you can see it in very dark.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
I'm certain we will get 4.2.2. I mean, it's "around the corner" now (for non-Nexii of course..). Look at the S2, it got Jelly Bean and we all thought it'd stay with ICS.
[Galaxy S III General] xbranex:
anyone else experienced blocked notification bar :) it happened to me 3 times..always when wifi on and some notification will appear during a call. after that is blocked, wont slide down. only restart fixes it.
[Galaxy S III General] Mikulec:
If it will come, it will be after the S4 is realeased to market, definitely not sooner.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Sounds about right. I think the S4 will come with 4.2.
[Galaxy S III General] xbranex:
just released MB1 for united kindom :) its the last on sammobile...always wondered if its better mb1 or mr2...i was on mb1 for 4 days and it was oky..best battery life and all but i kinda hated it cuz it was for taiwan..mr2 gives me lot weird'er problems than mb1 so downloading and flashing :)

Android 4.1 wasnt released yet when the S3 was released ;). Android 4.2 is so the S4 will be released with Android 4.2.

Does anyone know the changelist for MB1? I'm downloading it now but I'm not gonna flash right away, had loads of problems with MR2... So I'm waiting for some feedback here :)
[Galaxy S III General] Bidshelf:
What's the higher changelist MR2 (Germany) or MB1 (UK)?
[Galaxy S III General] xbranex:
i was wondering that too but the MR2 have bigger changelist than MB1 taiwan...but that can be due to cloud service and some other vodafone apps and lot of nonusefull, nonworking apps outside vodafone german network..plus add that to the weirdness of the MR2 (im sorry but i have much more problems in MR2 than i had with MB1 )

[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Theoretically, MR2 should have a higher changelist. Samsung's following the alphabet style naming, I think, so MB1 should be newer than MA2 but older than MR2.
[Galaxy S III General] gchindi:
anyone flashing latest UK rom released today - MB1, please post your feedback and any more details you notice...thanks in advance(TIA)...!:cowboy:

I will flash MB1 as soon as it is downloaded and report back here but i have to keep it quiet from my girlfriend as she says she will report me to the police as i have become a serial flasher and its getting out of hand :rolleyes: this may be the last rom i flash unless Samsung come up with some magical new firmware that revolutionises the phone lol

[Galaxy S III General] AinsCrowbar:
I noticed that the new UK MB1 firmware on SamMobile doesn't have the Kies symbol next to it like the other releases do. Makes me think that it's not an official release or something. Interesting anyway.

LoL yeah I've noticed that. I presume that sensor uses infra-red which is probably why it has a red glow.

Here's a link for those who want it: https://mega.co.nz/#!I1cSGAjI!WeSZHwved057aQYeuyuB9AxialcoG1BRfX5FjOiuXeA

It's untested, but I'm flashing it currently to test it. Btw, it's just the zip name that's ShawtyROM_v2. The build.prop still says JZO54K.XXEMB1 or whatever it's supposed to be called.

EDIT: I guess I should give credit to you Perka. I removed the system junk based from a text file you made of junk to remove. ^^

EDIT2: Note that my rom doesn't have any Samsung account crap. I removed everything relating to that.

EDIT3: Those who want S Voice back in full glory, flash the S Voice package from Vikingway: http://lunsarn.se/vikingway/mods & apps/samsung apps/SVoice_Package-CWM.zip

I downloaded it from Perka's stash. It's a .tar file. Shouldn't it be an md5 checksum file?
[Galaxy S III General] gchindi:
i think its time for you to give it full stock treatment...wiping both before flashing and after...! bad timing...ah..?
[Galaxy S III General] Perka:
Rename it to .tar.md5 :) forgot to add the .md5 again. :p

As I needed to rename it to open it :) same file just add .md5
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Sounds like you need to do a factory reset.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
I guess I have to wipe. Darnit! :crying:

Well, the file doesn't change to .md5 by renaming it. I think I have to change the .tar file association and remove it from Winzip. Let's hope that lets me rename the file.:(

i think thats norma then...it would be 550MB used as soon as yu turn on the phone...so that makes 300+MB free...on ELLA UK official firmware...we should observe the new firmware after opening most of the apps and see how the ram behaves...it would take atleast 1 hour to make it busy I guess...but thanks for the input..
[Galaxy S III General] kornelius1982:
What about mobile ODIN? I just installed and seems OK so far.

Try clearing contacts data. Fixed it for me.

Not sure if you need to clear "Contacts" or "Contacts storage". I did both and one of them obviously fixed it.

[Galaxy S III General] Galinha1:
Good updates in I9300XXBLFB, i live in brazil , and the firmware supports language and all, but one thing i have notice just today, that many times when i go use Data, in some app that requires it, the H+ goes out, and reconnect, so im getting a delay until i can use data network.

I installed this firmware thru odin, and than a factory reset, and a fresh start, no backup from samsung or google play, all new. Because when i did the backup , i got that message (sms and stuff) not working.

..One more thing, i have 2 SIII, one white made in Brazil, and i bought a new one from UK-made in china and an iPhone 4s. I was testing my connection (H+) in all thoses phones with the same gsm sim card.

My results :SIII both about the same,5350kbps download and 800~1100kbps Upload.

iPhone 4S : 5300~5500 kbps download and ~2600 kbps upload.

I tried flashing 4 different modems in the galaxy S3, and none of then i get better upload speeds.

Did somebody did this same test?

[Galaxy S III General] ianjd:
I've got a rather odd problem. I've got a Vodafone S3, flashed the BTU LFB ROM, and all was well, but the CSC still showed as VOD, which confused Kies and I presume OTA updates. So, to make these work, I thought I should change the CSC to BTU. So I tried the S / S2 CSC chooser, selected BTU, but when the wipe had finished, the CSC was actually set to KOR. A bit odd, I put it down to maybe the chooser app, so then tried the *#272*IMEI# technique, but with the same result. Whatever CSC I choose, I end up with KOR. Very puzzled, anyone got an idea what's going wrong?

How can i know that version is better for me?

For example, I'm from Peru and i found a new version(I9300UBELL6) but looking in the "top 10 lastest" is Hungary(I9300XXELLA) the last.

So please, what is better or what is the diference in this versions?. Maybe now i will understand how choice the right option.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
I was on the German EMR2 firmware. I've just flashed the latest BTU EMB1 firmware.

Differences

:

1) Cloud: The Cloud option has been removed from settings. I think this is a step back from MR2.

Negatives/Unresolved issues/Bugs

:

1) Home button to prevent screen timeout still tied to S-Voice.

2) Widgets drawer still has the initial lag.

3) Multitasking with games is still broken. You can't run two or more medium/heavy games in the background. One of them eventually restarts (if not instantly).

4) Launcher can still redraw.

5) One finger expandable notifications are not present.

6) Contacts/Phone doesn't open instantaneously.

7) Shadow redraws on Touchwiz icons are still present (they occur a lot less frequently now).

8) The Recent App tabs may still forget your most recent app (it occurs less frequently now).

9) When recording a video, left and right audio is switched.

Recommended or not?

:

Nope. Unless you want the latest unbranded ROM, there is no extra reason to flash this ROM. I can't see anything new.
