Yes, I know that with the Nexus it is easy to see the difference, but I heard that it´s Samsung touchwiz that dosent allow for Project Butter to function proper. And let me tell you that I truly consider my 9300 S3 very fast when opening stuff or doing something but when you compare the transition and animations smootheness sometimes it is not that smooth at all and I see some lag of framerate droping. So I really wished Jelly Bean would fix that...

Does anybody out there already uses official Jelly Bean Rom and can say if there is any difference regarding smoothness?
[Galaxy S III General] lensfuuma:
From what ive been reading the early releases of jellybean is halfbaked :( still a lot of issue.

LTE or not, I guess we need to wait for a period of time before the network is stable. I never really understand how mobile data works, and yes, HSDPA is said to be up to 21Mbps, I do get fast speed surfing at times, but sometimes, in certain locations (e.g. khatib - yio chu kang station, or some places in the east) the connection seems a bit screwed.

Personally I do not see the need to go LTE unless you are doing some massive big downloading, which is almost impossible unless you are on a data plan with bigger cap. I am on 3G Flexi Lite from SingTel, and just by whatsapp and fb-ing and occassionally surfing the net and updating apps from Google Play, the most I hit is 300+MB. So having 2GB cap for me doesn't affect much. It was mentioned last year I think, by the Telcos, that they considered decreasing the cap for data limit because most people are using whatsapp and lesser people are using sms. Well, they do need to make money, so from their point of view, it's a good move because it'll force heavy data users (I heard if you join a lot of group chats in whatsapp, you can hit 2GB every month) to go on a higher tier plan.

Do we have any official words on JELLY BEAN release in Singapore?

Not yet, but it's rolling out in S. Korea, so hopefully we get an OTA update on our shores soon! :)
[Galaxy S III General] amosljl1995:
Should be end of October.

But if your are hurry to get your hands on Jellybean, you can definitely try out custom ROMs such as the CM10, AOKP.

Moreover, what is Jellybean when Key Lime Pie (Android 4.2) is rolling out soon next year?

Personally think that Samsung is weird or maybe they have special plans ahead.

Btw, the next release is not Rain Lime Pie, but Key Lime Pie... They always follow alphabet, after J is K.

incomplete notification tone

Hey any of you guys experienced incomplete notification tone on samsung stock ics? I am using Harmonics for my default notification, and i realises sometimes the ringing will be incomplete when I have sms notification.
[Galaxy S III General] amosljl1995:
I use to have that problem but ever since on custom I don't experience any.
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Purchasing just the phone only.

Hey guys, just a curious question. If you need to get a phone without any contract, where would you get it from? Would you get it from official Samsung shops, where prices are all at its RRP, or will you get it at some 3rd party shops? If 3rd party shops, do you guys have any recommendations? Because what I am afraid of is those 3rd party shops selling imitation phones.
[Galaxy S III General] lensfuuma:

[Galaxy S III General] drhonk:
Try Sim Lim Square ..
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Checked out, hmmm why is their iphone 5 pricing $300 more than what apple store offers?

As for Sim Lim Square, I know where to get trusted people for computer hardwares, but not mobile phones or cameras. Too many shops around and you never know which are the bad ones.
[Galaxy S III General] lensfuuma:
Most probably because of the demand. With telcos you have to wait afaik. Not sure though
[Galaxy S III General] simplon:
Yeah.. I think if you buy the iPhone 5 from the online Apple store.. it is a 3-4 week wait..
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Nah not interested in iPhone haha. Just casually asking because I remember I used to get my phone from 3rd party store because they sell at a lower price than RRP. And when the thing about selling imitations, I just want to get to know more trusted 3rd party store.

Hi anyone having battery drain problems after updating to jb 4.1?
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Not for me. Able to provide further info on this issue that you have having? E.g. how long did your battery last?

After my first charge, my battery lasted me 1 day 8 hours before it his 4% when I woke up this morning. But then again I was at home the whole of yesterday. It will be different if I go out as I can be quite a heavy user when I am out, e.g. facebook non stop while on train or when I am bored, or using various apps to search for stuffs. So it will probably last me around 10hours++ before my battery hits below 15%.
[Galaxy S III General] mzlan:
Phone not in use after leaving it for 10 mins battery already drain by 2% is this normal after update.
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
That is a tough question. Got to depend on what apps you have running in the background. E.g. your widget, or any monitoring apps. I mean, even when your phone is not in use, the system is still running, unless you off the phone for 10 minutes.
[Galaxy S III General] mzlan:
Just off the phone for 10 mins and thats it. Is it?
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
No, what I meant is, as long as your phone is on, your battery will be in use, unless you shut off your phone. My battery is in use when when I let it go to sleep.

You might want to take a screenshot of your battery usage.
[Galaxy S III General] Conflict94:
Get better battery stats and check your partial and kernel wake locks. My guess is that your phone did not enter deep sleep.
[Galaxy S III General] inscythe:
I have been using JB since the earlier leaks, then the Polish release, UK release, before finally ended up with the official Singapore JB. I gotta say there's no battery drain issue whatsoever. I think some issues that several people experience may just be some background process or some third-party utilities installed, especially if you are updating from ICS. Some of these apps and utilities may not be updated yet for JB or need to be reinstalled after the update to JB. Either way, it varies.

However, I gotta say there is a larger battery consumption from ICS to JB, due to the fact that JB has more features, but it is still very little...

So, I just bought an S3 with model number GT-I9300. The guy at the shop said that it was made from Singapore. How can I be sure which type of S3 I'm having? Is it LTE or not? How to check?
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
I do not know where is the phone made from. Apple iphone is made from its foxconn production plant in China. Anyway I9300 is the non LTE version. I9305 is the LTE one.
[Galaxy S III General] whiteshadow1606:
I need to know coz I can't seem to root my phone. That's what's been bothering me for the past few days. I can't enter the download mode. Do anybody know how?
[Galaxy S III General] solitudinal:
Go to Settings > About device. Look under "Model number" Since you mentioned GT-I9300, it means you have the non-LTE version. The LTE version has model number I930

5

, and in some cases there's even a big "4G" on the back-cover.

You can enter download mode by holding Volume Down + Home + Power buttons, release the power button when you see the "Samsung Galaxy S III GT-I9300" text when your phone boots up. You'll get some warning message about the dangers of flashing custom firmware etc. Hit Volume Up to confirm and you're in download mode.
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
A bit of education for you here. Apple is an America brand, and its products, from iPhone to Macbooks are all made in China. If you are looking for a phone that is made in Singapore, I think you got to wait for someone to have an in-house phone brand in Singapore.

Anyway, if you can't enter Download mode, it's either your phone is a fake android, or you simply did it wrong.

As mentioned by the above people who replied to your post, OFF YOUR PHONE FIRST, then hold down the Home and Volume Down button and the Power button ALTOGETHER. Do not release until you see a Warning telling you to press Volume Up button to proceed.

For the simplest of all rooting methods, go look for the CF-Root thread in Android Original Development section in this forum.
[Galaxy S III General] whiteshadow1606:
What's a jig?

I already done that. And the "Galaxy S3" screen doesn't appeared. Instead, the "Android" screen appeared. When I pressed the 3 buttons, it enter the recovery mode (it shows an android with warning sign at the droid stomach). Why is that?

CM10

Bros

Just got a SGS3 LTE. Would like to get the cyanogenmod 10 into my phone. Are there any guides I can read up? Someone can point me in the right direction?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III General] ch33kster:
Look at this http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1822

And search for CF-Root. It is the simplest rooting method, fool proof if you are willing to read the guides and follow the instructions. As for flashing a custom rom, firstly download the rom on your computer and transfer it to your phone. Then reboot your phone to Recovery mode after rooting, and then select the option Install from zip, and select the custom rom file which you downloaded earlier. There you go.

To add on, I am not too sure if CM 10 is available for the I9305 variant. I was using CM9 until I got bored of it and restored it to stock rom. Since updating to jellybean, i've been using stock rom and kernel without much issues of any shorter battery life. I only rooted it because certain apps i'm using needs root.

Hi all, I just updated to JB through OTA, everything seems fine without factory reset. However, when I click on checking software update again, I got this message "Your device has been modified.

I tried it without rooting and it doesn't have this error. However after I root it, I received the same error. I suggest factory reset, because I did a factory reset and things seemed much smoother.

For those who are having issues with rooting or want to have a rooted and deodexed ROM, you can try downloading this:
