Sorry for my bad English.

I see strange behavior in the contacts application.

When I start the phone after flashing, the application opens with minimum delay.

Successive openings are perfect, the application is loaded into RAM and obviously has zero lag.

But on the next reboot of the phone becomes the long lag, I think it's a bad application programming in the beginning before displaying the contacts, try to connect to look for new contacts in google, and the delay occurs while connecting.

Other contacts applications, as Exedialer or TouchPal, open and show the contacts without any delay, and when the list shown, then find new contacts in google.

Hi. How's the battery life of the new German ROM? Hope someone can make a post. Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] xbranex:
first a question then thoughts but the german rom :)

Will the S3 get 4.2.1 update or no, that will be reserved for the S4 ?

This rom (MR2)...it feels exactly the same as the hong kong one..and the one before that and the one before that..even i think that the hong kong one was better than all of i flashed...(i didnt root that one nor did i removed half of the blotware as i did on the mr2). i just know that to much firmwares and big changelist that probably has nothing to do with the firmware itself but with the country-operator demanding. Really is a shame. I have my i9000 and some simple stuff like PHONE APP work 90% faster and the battery lasts and lasts....

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

Battery in S3 is better than the battery I had on my Captivate (amazing phone...).

Phone app is definitely slower but Jkay fixes.
[Galaxy S III General] j0sefuz:
Maybe it is caused by a mod i flashed which is black notification bar.

If you're rooted. Worked for me.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Yes, they've not done a proper job with it. That's why it's still in my list of negatives. It opens up quickly once it's loaded into the RAM but a restart or a close will make it slow again. Thank goodness we have replacement applications and JKay's framework (I haven't used it myself but JKay mentioned that nearly all the negatives I've listed are fixed with his framework- which is awesome!). :)

I think that's the reason. :)

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

I had a really really really bad battery drain last night with this latest firmware. It's the first time this happens to me, the apps on the phone are exactly the same as before (I restore them with titanium as always, only users apps) I did full wipes as always and the phone was on airplane mode for 8 hours while I was sleeping.

When I woke up It eaten up almost 50% of the battery in 8 hours on airplane mode :eek::eek:

Also when I charge the phone using the original wall charger, instead of charging, it discharges the battery!!!

And only when I replaced the stock usb cable that connects the phone to the wall charger with another one I had (from a blackberry phone) it charges again! That is not normal.. Could maybe the stock usb cable be damaged?? Is that even possible??? It has 6 month old and it's in a very good condition!! Is it safe to use another usb cable (from any other phone or tablet) but with the genuine charger?? Are all the usb cables the same??

Thanks in advance for the help!

Is there any firmware after XELL4 (XEH) that is worth updating bugs/speed/battery wise, what do you guys recommend? I'm still on it, and don't know if i should update now or wait some more, I'm new to S3 and as far as i can see there are soooo many firmwares coming out every other week with all different problems/fixes, and its kind of frustrating :p
[Galaxy S III General] AinsCrowbar:
I found the stock adapter that came with my phone had a tendancy to kill cables. There's a whole thread here on XDA about it, there must be a bad batch of adapters floating around. I suspected mine was one of these so I threw it in the bin. I've been using another wall to USB adapter that I had around the house and it works fine. However I also had to chuck away my original cable. It's fine to use any microUSB cable to charge your S3, no problem. However I found that some cheap cables won't support data/PC sync with the S3. Most will work fine though and I found OEM ones were always better.

[Galaxy S III General] cammel:
Re: [Stock Official Firmwares] I9300XXEMR2 (4.1.2) - Germany (VD2) [07-02-13]

OK, thanks for the data! The stock adapter seems to be working fine here but not with the original microusb cable that came with the phone. That's the strange thing. I been using my motorola xoom's microusb cable with the stock Samsung charger adapter and it was working fine, but I sold the xoom yesterday (so that microusb cable is gone) and when I tried to charge my phone with stock microusb cable again it actually discharged the phone! So I pick up a blackberry microusb cable that was here at the office and with that cable and my genuine samsung charger adapter it started to charge the battery just fine, But I was worried that with that cable not being the Samsung official one it could do some damage to the battery or the phone itself.

There should be no problems with using non original cable with SGS3 as long as the cable itself is a good quality cable. My SGS3 stock cable is also piece of CRAP so I am using my Amazon Kindle 3 cable which is perfect and also it is much longer than short SGS3 stock cable. I even ODIN flash through that Kindle cable... I think that if I try to flash a firmware through original SGS3 cable it could damage the phone.

I think the one of value is the AP number. It tells us your base is EMA2, but the CSC tells us you're using the one for the Nordic region.
[Galaxy S III General] robogo1982:
Re: [Stock Official Firmwares] I9300XXEMR2 (4.1.2) - Germany (VD2) [07-02-13]

I flashed my phone numerous times with the USB cable provided with the phone and have never had any problems. Not only that, but I charge my phone with it every day and still no problems (for about 6 months or so). So whatever issues you people have with your cables... try using the warranty.
[Galaxy S III General] ToddeSwe:
Does it says what contry?
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
The CSC does, yeah. The AP number doesn't, it's just the build number and the various numbers and letters (EMA2) tells us when it was built.

NEE = Nordic region

EMR2 is somewhat newer and VD2 means it's for Vodafone Germany (carrier-branded release)

Search about C2DM. Whatever you understand, GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) replaces it.

(another example: Whatsapp - it uses C2DM to receive messages and notify you [the PUSH method])
