Well, having downloaded the new Firmware, though it was obvious that you´d obtain a leak with a different CSC, I can confirm that the build is 100% identical.

Noticed bugs so far:

- Light flare effect still broken ( I´ve found the reason why and know at least a method to make it usable and will upload a fix later.. ).

- some menus are still missing ( eg. lockscreen shortcuts ).

Well, thank you Samsung ;)

[Galaxy S III General] Ouzo:
New Galaxy S3s have the region lock in place (I just bought one - the box has the much discussed warning sticker), so I would think that at some point Samsung will roll it out to older handsets too.... I wondered why the S3 was being so heavily discounted in shops at the moment, I thought it was just because it was old ;)
[Galaxy S III General] floxigen:
Well, thank you if you manage to do it, but, when i see that, I really think samsung is mocking at us, they do tests and they manage to release some buggy files ? OMG

Wrong thread, comment edited
[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
- If you encounter any issues with the firmware (Any FC, Bootloop etc)

- Boot into recovery mode (Home+power+vol up)

- Choose to wipe/factory reset. (THIS WILL ERASE ALL OF YOUR DATA INCLUDING YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD!)

- Then choose reboot and you should be good to go!

Always take time to read and fully understand what's stated in the OP.

So if you understand that I'm pretty sure you'll only have your device get formatted IF you encounter any issue. But as with any other firmware coming from a 4.1.2 base a WIPE is always recommended.
[Galaxy S III General] tridibsahabd:
Does the gallery fc for anyone when you press the share button?
[Galaxy S III General] rsndetre:
Knox ? locked bootloader ?
[Galaxy S III General] SignetSphere:
READ THE OP. Do you see any KNOX there? International S3's will always be bootloader unlocked... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] techno-np:
I think Samsung rushed the update as quick as they can. When they saw the Android 4.4 was released. so they can start working on the next big Thing !!!
[Galaxy S III General] rsndetre:
I didn't saw any mention of Knox, that's why I specificaly asked, to be sure. After I burned myself on S4, flashing a Knox enabled 4.2.2 stock rom, I can never be too careful.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
So the leak got official status, lol.

Can anyone confirm that the bugs have been solved? Or that the battery life is better.
[Galaxy S III General] dherre65:
It's the same firmware as the leak...
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
I think the main reason for the fast release was the galaxy gear support. They have already been advertising gear to work with the s3. So in theory we should still see lots of improvements
[Galaxy S III General] stider007:
Thanks!:)
[Galaxy S III General] nelsonw:
Yes, this is a fast upgrade. Knox, S4 Camera and all that software stuff will be released on a Premium Suite later...
[Galaxy S III General] simplyanin:
They dint even provide the 4.3 widgets like the weather widget n all other things..not even any change in camera ui..we were waiting so many days for this update and after everything we got nothing except a 4.3 fw wdout the main ui changes like s4.. To hell with samsung.

EMail Application

Hi,

I have a small request. Can someone check the EMail app (Not Gmail) and let me know the version number?

In the 4.2.2 leaked rom for S3 it was an old release of EMail and didn't work properly when trying to download attachments when using a Microsoft Exchange account.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] nelsonw:
Also, they will improve 4.3 on the next releases like they did on 4.1.2. Memory tweaks arrived very late.

Quite Honestly I don't get the point of all this moaning about not getting S4 features and UI... Be happy with Samsung giving you updates, at least We are still being updated.

I have been testing the leaked version for over 12 hours now and I'm happy with it...

So If you wanna have S4 features and UI just get yourself a Galaxy S4 and stop complaining all the time...
[Galaxy S III General] gengt:
Could anyone test the BT4.0, please? Mi Heart Rate Monitor Polar H7 only works with BT LE profile and this 4.3 rom doesn't detect the HRM. With CM 10.2 phone can detect the HRM but apps does'nt work well.

I don't know if this rom only has support for the smart watch or my HRM run out of battery
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
I hate this about the users of XDA. Always something to complain about. You got your 4.3, now it's not enough. Stop the complaining. Stop the questions. Search for an answer and stop being so lazy. It literally takes just as much effort and less frustration if you search for your answer. 99% of the time it has been answered before. Because when someone doesn't answer your question, then you get all twisted and pissed and start spamming the forum. Be content for once in your lives.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Yeah, thanks for nothing.
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
Exactly ... i'm happy with this firmware except with these 2 annoying bugs

1. the screen takes a few seconds to turn on sometimes

2. after you finished the call and you remove your phone from ear, the screen doesn't turn on, until you touch home or the opposite caller ends the call! this is most annoying bug!
[Galaxy S III General] jimbo77:
I'm not having any of those issues.. Could be because I'm using Seeder application which creates random entropy which speeds up the system and reduces lag overall including that annoying bug of the screen turning on delay..

You should give it a try :)
[Galaxy S III General] dherre65:
Lol, what did I do. I just answered your question.
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
What is that?
[Galaxy S III General] b-eock:
Use the search function and find it yourself.
[Galaxy S III General] johan81:
Seems you are not telling the truth here, I just bought Seeder and it doesn't work on this ROM, I rooted my phone and gave the app root permission yet it still won't work....

Did you had 4.2.2 leak and didn't wipe your device??

Most of Vdf apps, 3 or 4, can be uninstalled without root...

Maybe they are doing the same when they upgraded from ICS to JB, with the polish firmware... but sorry to disapointed you, we wont be getting the S4 goodies... they what us to buy S4 or S3 Note...

Also Mobile Odin last version can root without any problems...

Sammobile release Odin files and those files flash the bootloader.

Samsung are

PLANNING

KNOX which means a future release WILL have KNOX.

Guys on the S4 got royally screwed by using Odin, instead of flashable CWM zips, and are paying the voided warranty price.

Time will tell, but don't be one of the people caught up in it. Check JustArchi's thread in the General section as he's pretty quick with deodexing these releases for use.

I used Chainfire's CF Autoroot but with a twist, after applying the CF autoroof I delete the SuperSU application and downloaded it again from Play then IT asked to update its bynaries and that was all
[Galaxy S III General] aygriffith:
My AT&T Note 3 does the same thing. You have to swipe that empty field and then it launches into the messaging app. Not sure if it's a bug or a really poorly implemented feature. I just assumed it was because I used a pin lock on the device.

I'm going to wait for an unbranded official release for my old lady's I9300.
[Galaxy S III General] myshu:
Knox does not come fully installed. I played with a galaxy i9505 and it only has an icon that guides you to download about 150 mb of data to install knox and thats it.

And I have the sms preview missing aswell. Its better as privacy goes cause people that see the phone receiving the text can't read it cause of the preview. So having a pin unlock has more sense now.
[Galaxy S III General] Virtualsk:
Its not a bug...its by design...You are being asked to unlock you phone by urself.
[Galaxy S III General] punktnet:
Smart.
[Galaxy S III General] aygriffith:
As I said above, it's a poorly implemented feature. Having to touch the message, then swipe a totally different box below the the message to get it to load is one too many steps.

If I had to guess there's probably a patent on the interface gesture of swiping the message box to load the actual message app from the lock screen. Since Apple does this on iOS I'm going to assume they hold the patent.
[Galaxy S III General] MattBooth:
That S4 still had the KNOX bootloader and had the KNOX_WARRANTY_VOID marker in there.

We don't need this for the S3, so I'm hoping Samsung cannot fully implement it. But, if they plan on bringing it in, then they must be able to.

No-one here needs KNOX, since we're all XDA root users.
