It's very strange! That's why I used the word "strange". lol! :D

I've also had the Media scanner bug. Force-stopping Media solves that issue. The Android OS/System is a different issue.

Maybe someone should look into that.

I have an urge to flash this release after work but I'd hate to have to betray Ultima ^^
[Galaxy S III General] boz:
I've now installed XXEMA1 straight over XXELLC after making a back up, the only issue I had was that the Play Store didn't work until I went into settings> applications and uninstalled the update for Play Store, it then worked straight away. There were a couple of Italian apps that I uninstalled too.

The dialler and contacts now open instantly for me in XXEMA1, and the whole OS seems a lot smoother, I'll see how it performs over the next day or so. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] supreethms:
Waiting for a small review like this for XXEMA1.

lol
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Okay. I just switched from the Taiwanese ZSEMA1 to the latest Italian (ITV) XXEMA1. No wipe.

Differences

:

1) Extra Applications: BuonAppetito and LunAPPark. Both are in Italian and look like games. They can both be uninstalled.

2) Play Books: Play Books is installed along with three books to read: Wonderful Stories for Children, Frankenstein, or, The Modern Prometheus, and Pride and Prejudice.

Positives

1) Contacts and Phone: Both open up fast (sometimes they open instantaneously)! They also exhibit the same behaviour as ELLC.

2) Gallery: Zooming and loading of photos feels a bit faster. Scrolling through albums may be a bit faster, too.

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. Although it is a lot quicker to redraw itself.

5) One finger expandable notifications are not present.

6) Contacts/Phone doesn't open instantaneously. It has become a bit better, though.

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) The Samsung keyboard doesn't show the characters when you long press on alphabets in the keyboard (landscape mode only).

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

11) NFC toggle bug: When you put the NFC toggle in the notification panel and restart the phone, the NFC icon disappears and you cannot select it. If you then go to settings and enable NFC, the icon appears again. Then, if you disable NFC through the toggle, System UI restarts. (There might be a different behaviour if you wipe but the end result is the same).

Recommended or not?

:

Yes, go for it! It's smooth, scrolling through the pictures in Gallery feels a bit faster, and the two extra games can be uninstalled completely. The higher changelist indicates that they've accomplished a lot more!

OK, I think I found one problem... I was on spanish ELLC witch has only one csc code (PHE), and after flashing this new Italy firmware when I go to stock recovery it still says PHE CSC, so... I don't know if the csc wasn't successfully flashed or if this Italian firmware has multi csc codes and one of those csc is PHE and that's why it remained the same..

Can anyone give me a hint about this?

Who are we to say what you should and/or shouldn't do? It's up to you what firmware you want to flash, and best of all; no one's stopping you.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
No, no. Not at all! :)

I keep an eye on my battery. If something is disabled, it shouldn't consume any battery.

If something is enabled, it would show up on the battery stats page (if it is using 1% or more of your battery). These apps don't even show up. I think they're actually a part of the Android System and Android OS.

So, if they're enabled, wouldn't it stand to reason that they would consume more battery? Very strange behaviour! :o

Largely irrelevant as the point of the post is to illustrate the battery endurance on mixed (real) use, as I stated. You can guess from the activity bars if you really need to...

The issue most users with battery drain problems have is rogue apps or poor flashing regime or using backups (pick any or all) preventing deep sleep. Clearly, this should not be the case.

Hi, i'm on Italian S3, so this new one is my "regular" rom that i upgraded to via kies.

I noticed a bug in the samsung keyboard, if i keep pressing a vowel to bring out the popup for accent letters, all i get is a popup with empty squares, the letters are not shown.

If i select one of the squares it still writes the letter in the textbox.

I noticed it in the Italian keyboard, tried the EN-US one and it was the same.

I tried hard resetting the device but the problem persists, I had one of my colleagues with the same phone try it out and he had the same bug.

Can anyone confirm the problem? Maybe the kies update is faulted?

Are you guys sure it's multi-csc? I had LKC (Polish) stock ROM installed with XEO (Poland) CSC. Today I flashed this new XXEMA1 and tried to change my csc with the app from Play store, selected the root method (I am rooted) but it gave me some error about preConfig UI not supporting single CSC's.

I also have another problem. I have a different default notification than the ringtone I use for messages and whatsapp. I've noticed that everytime I restart my phone, it forgets which notification tone I set for those two apps, but every other app stays normal (FB, default ringtone, gmail, hotmail).
