Apology accepted scilla.. although I must say even though I didn't provide any source it doesn't mean my answer to your question is not credible.

Having mentioned the topic, have you tested it? LED respond to the light sensor..

Samsung don't release changelog on every firmware updates now is there? .. Only Custom ROM Developers .. like the popular Cyanogenmod.
[Galaxy S III General] Scilla:
Don't worry, I never doubted your answer. I only asked for the changelog/source because, unfortunately, it didn't work on my phone the first time I tried it.

But today I tested it again and really put my phone under the light, and it worked. Thanks a lot, Crest. Much appreciated! I clicked the Thanks button for ya.

Cheers!
[Galaxy S III General] Crest+:
Good thing it worked fine.. as well as the misunderstanding..

Hey guys which anyone here using official phil jb? Hows the performance? Anybody tried the xte.csc? Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Cruze13:
I flashed back my s3 to ICS. the stock s3 dialer becomes so slow, it takes 5 seconds to open and also the contacts app after upgrade to JB. I was using the official JB BTU firmware. Now my dialer and contact loads fast (2seconds only). I will use ICS until there will be an update for JB to fix the s3 stock dialer lag. How about in XTE firmware, does anyone experience this bug too?
[Galaxy S III General] gian84:
I upgraded to jb via ota. Performance is smoother, though there is still a slight lag sometimes when swiping between homepages when there is a heavy live wallpaper running. What disappointed me though is that now the notification bar is gray instead of black. Does anyone know how to change it back to black without using custom rom or rooting?
[Galaxy S III General] acelim23:
I just updated to from stock ics to stock jb, so far so good, no lags, faster definitely than ics.. very snappy
[Galaxy S III General] C0NAN:
I don't know why some people are having this problem mine takes about 1 second to load using official Philippines JB.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
GLB SMA XTC XTE firmware are all the same. Only difference is in csc. If you're experiencing slowdown or lag the first remedy is a factory reset after an ota.
[Galaxy S III General] hybr33d:
Hi guys,

I havent received the OTA update for JB yet. All my friends are on jb now. Any idea what is the problem?

Software update keeps teelling 'no update available'
[Galaxy S III General] raykyogrou0:
What kind of carrier are you using? Or did you get it factory-unlocked?
[Galaxy S III General] hybr33d:
I got it factory unlocked.

My build number is IMM76D.19300XXBLH3 if its important.
[Galaxy S III General] raykyogrou0:
Globe isn't that bad. I mean the internet is quite fast compared to what I had before (nothing!). I often get 2-3mbps speeds from speedtest.net and this one time I got 7.2mbps. I almost always get H+ signal at home (I live in a very rural area). The only reason I didn't get smart or sun is because those two carriers have zero to no reception here, lol only in the city.

Globe is quite expensive and unreasonable at times. I got the P1799 plan with a supposed P800 consumable. Turns out the P800 can only be used for regular calling and texting and not for registering to promos. Apparently promos are charged on top of your bill. However the guy who sold me the phone told me that I could use it to register for promos. I explained this to them and they didn't really seem to care. P1198 charged extra for two months. ****ing waste of my money. If smart or sun finally gets good data reception here I will be ending my contract.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
That is a good strategy on Globe's side. That is called marketting. Imagine if Globe let us use the 800 consumable for promos, then I can register to unli call and text for 1 month (P599). With that, their company loses profit.
[Galaxy S III General] raykyogrou0:
Where did you buy it? FW updates OTA are released per country (and carrier)

Is it rooted? In that case, you could unroot it (temporarily). The update notification may not appear if rooted.

Here, read this:

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 PM ----------

Sure, it's a good strategy to lose customers! In fact, I intended to use the 800 consumable to register to that promo, otherwise I would have just gotten the P999 plan. It's not called marketing, it's called ripping people off! If they fully intended to show that consumable credits can't be used for promos, they should've shown that in the advertisements or flyers! I can't find that information anywhere!
[Galaxy S III General] hybr33d:
I bought it from glorietta. Gameextreme store. Factory unlocked. Using prepaid smart. Im not rooted btw.

Ohhh so its possible that the update has not been released for my phone yet.

I am worried that there is something broken with my phone that is why its not receiving the update.
[Galaxy S III General] raykyogrou0:
Oh, game extreme? I think that they buy all of their products from a supplier in Hong Kong. I got my ps vita from their store through ebay and it's from Hong Kong. But it's all authentic though, so don't worry. It's possible that JB for S3 unbranded is not yet released for hongkong.
[Galaxy S III General] hybr33d:
Wow. Its nice that you know the store.

I just checked availability of hong kong JB and you're right. Its still pending for hong kong.

Well thanks man, that makes me feel better

:)
[Galaxy S III General] raykyogrou0:
Sure thing;)
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Yeah, it's more like some low level deception.

That's also why I never go for their loyalty plans/promos. On the surface they seem like a good deal, but on further scrutiny, the the only one who gets any advantage is globe. Gone are the days of a truly subsidized phone and true unlimited text /calls.

Smart has offered better deals on average imho.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
I agree that Smart has better deals. I don't have any choice though because I cannot give up my long-time Globe number. I just thought myself how to accept things here in our country. If one compares the subsidized plans in the US from the ones in our country he/she would realize how bad our carries are. But again, we just have to live with this. Right?
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Gamextreme is a good shop. Reputable. If you haven't rooted or hacked your phone just be patient and you'll get the ota eventually. Also plug it into kies just to be sure.

I'm sorry but I really can't defend globe or say something nice. I've had missed meetings etc and so many problems with their service. The only reason why I'm staying is because I don't want to change my number and literally 99 percent of my contacts are globe. Their Internet is slow compared to Smart and unreliable at that.
[Galaxy S III General] baste07:
Disagree globe is okay. Its unlimited data is the only true unlimited one out there
[Galaxy S III General] happyfingers:
+1 I never really had any problems with Globe.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Really well you guys are exceptions to the general rule. Every one else I've talked to for the past 6 months regarding their service have said otherwise.

You guys are lucky.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
Aux contraire, the "unlimited data" is truly unlimited if you're on Postpaid. On the other hand (Prepaid), it is limited up to 800MB
[Galaxy S III General] JeoffJimena:
Any workaround on the 16gb internal memory nearly full? Apps can't be moved to external in ICS... Was this resolved in JB?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Agree. Problem is with smart even if you're on postpaid there is a 1.5gb cap per day.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
hmm. too many apps? i havent filled mine.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
You can transfer some applications with DirectoryBind.. search it here in XDA. It us fairly easy to use :)
[Galaxy S III General] JeoffJimena:
I think so.. Have nova3. It's 3.6gb already....
[Galaxy S III General] Cruze13:
Sir, I had flashed it to BTU JB firmware and then I experienced the dreaded lag on s3 dialer. It was not slow on my previous stock ICS BTU firmware. I tried to reflash, factory reset and wipe partition cache but still no effect. I flashed back to ICS BTU firmware and its now working fast. I will try to flash to unbranded official JB PH firmware and see if the s3 dialer is fast.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
You may choose to meekly accept poor service, bad deals etc. That's your choice.

I myself don't. I make it a point to complain, talk to the manager etc albeit in a polite manner. Make sure they know their customers are not happy. Many of people I know do the same. To make these companies understand that not everyone is okay with the status quo.

If we just sit back and do nothing, then you get nothing. If however you do believe you deserve more, you have to let them know.
[Galaxy S III General] baste07:
As if that makes a diff with them
[Galaxy S III General] droidsm:
Hi JB users, did someone able to get rid of the paper clip button on the messaging app?
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
i believe it does. it takes time and effort, but eventually it does.

they did upgrade their systems after years of complacency, and just like politicians, they are afraid of the power and influence of social media.
[Galaxy S III General] emwhy12:
I'm currently using a Smart Prepaid sim and subscribed to 1week unlidata. I'm downloading huge files daily. Max that I downloaded so far within a 24hour timeframe was 5gig. CustomROM's, Movies, MP3 etc.

I don't know for the others but mine seems to break the 1.5gb cap per day that u are mentioning.

Additional:

I also sometimes use my phone as a wifi hotspot inside our house.

I think the jellybean update is quite laggy but tolerable. But I can't accept the fact that my friend's galaxy nexus is faster. :banghead:
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Did the speed decrease at any time during the 24 hour period? The last time I hit the cap was a few weeks ago. Maybe they removed it? My experience was once you hit the cap the speed decreases a lot.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
You, most likely, did not do a full wipe before updating.

It is almost necessary to do a full wipe when upgrading to major builds (ie ics >jb) of Android. Most symptoms that people complain about after the jb upgrade can be attributed to this. Samsung should include a cleaning script in their fotas, but they don't. Be aware though that a proper full wipe will totally erase internal memory. So be prepared to tb and backup/sync important files and contacts.

And btw, a factory reset is not a full wipe.
[Galaxy S III General] fatbuccha:
Hello guys to all who updated to jb did full wipe? Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
it is very much advice to do a full wipe to prevent unnecessary errors or whatsoever. just like the conversation up your post.
[Galaxy S III General] fatbuccha:
Can you confirm if the status of your phone became modified after flashing jb phil using pc odin?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] vinbaure:
I full wiped my device after the update. I even rooted my phone to wipe the partition and dalvik cache but no good. Maybe my wiping method was wrong. Could you help me out on this? :fingers-crossed:

Change your language to English (United States). Google Now doesn't support English (Philippines) right now.

Hi does anyone know if there are additional charges for internet tethering on Globe? I'm subscribed to Supersurf for ONE DAY only. I read that for those subscribed to the monthly unlimited surfing tethering does not incur additional charges.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
I don't know about the tethering thing. I am subscribed to the monthly "unlimited" surfing which has a limit of 800MB/day.. i think it serves the same limit with the Unli Surf thing. Hence, there are no additional charges. (I think)
[Galaxy S III General] emwhy12:
Did not notice a decrease with the downlaod speed at all. I don't know why but a lot of my friends are using Smart as well and they also don't have any problems with daily cap. Heavy data users here.

Alabang area, Muntinlupa proper area, San Pedro Area and my work place Makati Valero St. No issues with Smart

Hey Guys,

How's battery life after the JB update? Noticed mine turned to worse until I turned off Google Now (which is practically not too useful in the PH). :(
[Galaxy S III General] vinbaure:
The device status is still normal after flashing thd jb rom via odin.
[Galaxy S III General] vinbaure:
Mine turned better (I think). Have you noticed any slowdowns in your device? I suffered from it even after a full wipe. :(
[Galaxy S III General] adrian08:
None actually. I'm using Nova Launcher. :)
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
Phone Status will not change to Modified since it's a stock firmware. If simply rooting your phone (No CWM recovery yet), status will still be Normal.

P. Status will change initially once you flash CWM Recovery via odin.. :)

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 PM ----------

Are you rooted? Perhaps you have UVed too low.. also, flashing a custom kernel might do the trick
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
No slowdowns for me too.

What rom were you on before you upgraded to jb?
[Galaxy S III General] vinbaure:
I'm from stock ICS rom before I upgraded it to jb. :(

Nope I'm not rooted. What custom kernel could you suggest? :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III General] randolph2000:
Hi there!

I just flashed JB on my S3 via ODIN using the firmware at (sammobile.com using i9300 Globe).

To make it short, i dont have problems running apps, everything is smooth (wow) problem is i notice that the Internet (mobile data) seems to slow down. Im using I9300DXDLI5 (baseband) i already did clear the cache and factory reset so everything is back to scratch.

Anyone having the same problem?
[Galaxy S III General] vinbaure:
Too make it specific, I encounter lags from the following:

-widget drawer (very often)

-keyboard

-settings

-sometimes in switching through different applications
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
could be symptoms of a bad install. but if you followed my full wipe instructions you shouldnt be having these issues.

did you have to reinstall your apps after you upgraded?
[Galaxy S III General] vinbaure:
I followed the instructions for full wiping. Yes sir, I reinstall my apps after I upgraded.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
thats definitely not the stock jb experience. if it was just the app drawer and home screen i would just recommend you get nova launcher.

what bothers me is your lag in the settings page.

if youre up to it, i suggest you reflash it again.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
What happened to your Globe plan?

One thing, it is recommended to do a full wipe BEFORE upgrading to a major build. And just to be on the safe side, do another one AFTER.

What happens to Google Now if you opt to stay at English (Philippines)?
[Galaxy S III General] vinbaure:
Yeah, everyone is talking about how smooth the update is. I guess i have to reflash again and hopefully it"ll be as smooth as yours. :D

Thanks for your advises sir. :thumbup:

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:03 PM ----------

Actually there is no google now option when you opted to use English (Philippines) and the voice search won't talk back. :p

Copy sir, i'll do a full wipe before and after the upgrade. :D
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
guys!

i just received an OTA upgrade to JB (285.07MB). if my reading is correct.

now the speculation that you wont get an OTA if unit is rooted and shows "modified" is not true (for me that is).

i am on stock root with SU and CW and the details on my phone is modified. but hey here is my update...

now my concern is, why is my battery draining even if im plugged on AC?

edit:

update complete, now officially running JB. still it shows MODIFIED in status.

and i thought it would be a green jellybean (would look like picolo from dragon ball). but its a red jelly bean. still wish its a shade of green.

edit2:

and then after reading the policies agreements etcetera...hit confirm.... poof! "your unit is modified, you cannot receive updates" lol.

then as expected, i lost root privileges.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
If you switch to english us and activate Google now and switch to English Philippines after Google now will still be there.

Finally someone shares my problem....

Hi guys, professional forum lurker here. I have never found a reason to post anything since I usually find a solution to most problems if I search hard enough; till now...

I am having the exact same problem as above. Fresh wipe/reset before flashing JB thru odin. Everything is fine except for mobile data. It shows have H+ connection but it is extremely slow, sometimes up to the point that no data is transfering at all (speedtest shows network connection error). It can't be data cap since I am on Globe postpaid. It's not the area either since data is working fine on my other phone. I am thinking it's the LI5 modem.

Anyone else experiencing this? Would greatly appreciate your inputs, thank you.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
i also remember the ics lh1 modem getting better reception and being better on data speed.

im thinking of flashing it back to that, i look for the sgs3 modem repository thread and link it here.
[Galaxy S III General] acelim23:
Hey. exactly my problem. Can't seem to find google now. I flashed official JB from a complete wipe. Then, I chose English(Philippines). And I really don't understand how to activate Google Now. Can I activate it after I change language to English(US) and how, can anyone please give me the steps..

FIrmware updating...

Hi... hope someone can help or answer me..

My phone is not receiving yet the jelly bean update despite the fact that jb is already out in philippines.. My baseband is XXLFB and after researching i found out that my phone's firmware is from Kenya. Does it mean that i still need to wait until the jb update in kenya is out? can i just bring it to samsung service center so that they can update my phone? Also, If i root my phone and flash jelly bean for s iii- Philippines, will it cause any problem since it's not originally for the Philippines?

Thanks..
[Galaxy S III General] wtfshouldidonow:
Solutions:

1. You could simply download the jellybean firmware for the philippines at sammobile.com. Just search for it under the firmwares section.

2. If you reeaally want to update through OTA, download the ics firmware for philippines then check updates through settings (solution 1 is the most practical though)

You do not need to root in order to flash the official jb because you would be using odin for that. As for the problems, as long as you READ carefully the instructions and FOLLOW all of them carefully, then there shouldn't be any problems :)
[Galaxy S III General] putibuhok:
yup, noticed that too. I'm currently testing a couple of modems. might take a couple of days before I get good results since I need to rule out a few factors like weather and network issues. smart recently had some problems so I want to test the modem I just installed for a bit longer. I'll post a recommendation as soon as I have more reliable results.in the mean time, why don't you try different modems and lets compare? ;)

[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
No modem is a different file from csc. There are 3 files. AP, CP, CSC. The csc files contain information about the region, apps for customization etc. Radio is the file which tells the phone how to communicate with the network.
