*its a muct for you to root to get siyah kernel on your phone

*siyah is one of the best kernels out their, but the user opinion would change depending on the way you use it, you should try and see how it fits your needs.

*you get smoother UI experience, battery optimisations etc. etc. as per the kernel builders list of improvements they quote.

*check the siyah kernel thread for more details on audio changes.

PS - im using stock in SGS3 from the time I bough SGS3 and Im happy so far...my demands from SGS3 are optimum and sammy kernel is serving me OK, but have played with various kernels and custom firmwares on my old sgs2 though.

Dear S3 users,

I was out of the flashing scene, and i wonder if there is someone who is so kind to provide me a quick summary about the latest xxdli8 test firmware.

Can you please tell me what are the known bugs and how it works in comparison to the 4.0,4 stock latest.

Thanks very much
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:

Hey guys need your help on this one old time veteran been away from the game for years. Updated to JB from stock all went will till this afternoon. Didnt have my charger so battery died, found a USB cable and charging via laptop. Phone kept rebooting and staying around 1%. Did a home volume up and power press and rebooted seemed to have fixed it and it creeped up to 8% and then just starting to drain down even though its connected to the laptop USB. Never had this problem with ICS charged fine with the same cable etc.Thanks in advance for all the help.
[Galaxy S III General] EdgaBimbam:
dont charge via laptop usb. Others also have this issue. 220V charging ftw? :D
[Galaxy S III General] JAMIE1000UK:
Well had the test build s few days now. Noticed a few odd bugs which i will list for anyone interested

1. FC when deleting a home screen

2. Strange screen flash when reading emails

3. The latest flash player posted on these forums works but now and again the screen goes wierd. Can hear the video playing but picture is sooo distorted.

4. Samsung keyboard does its random any random letter. Have to use swiftkey which has zero bugs for me but others report problems

5. Dialer amd contacts 1-2 second lag when opening. (this for me happens the first time i switch between the 2, after that its instant..)

Other then issues stated this LI8 build is rather stable. Very very quick and the galaxy note 2 gallery app and camera work great and look rather nice too.

If i get any more bugs i will post them here.

This is on the international I9300 model.
[Galaxy S III General] art_arev:
U might have a faulty cable. When you put the phone into recovery the cable moved so it started charging...... There has not been any issues with laptop charging.....I have been charging very frequently with the laptop. No issues at all
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
Flashing time for me :D!
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
I haven't seen any of these except the dialer/contact lag, but after I opened them once after that it doesn't lag, and I haven't tried flash player watching videos yet, other flash works fine, with the version included fro stock ICS. This was after no wipes, going from stock LG8 to LI7, then LI8
[Galaxy S III General] benbalag:
This is kill my system UI. Always fc and my notification bar is disappeared (on DLI8). I need to flash my phone.:(
[Galaxy S III General] sohail_2k:
LI8 Battery time is great! Still 25% to go.

Only problem which I have found in all JB leaks is whenever I install an App from Google Play (which also create a shortcut on the homescreen), on returning back from Google Play there is always a FC on Touchwiz
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
Works so far ;)!
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
you can disable that from the play store, but going into the settings of the play store.

As for the problem - no idea.
[Galaxy S III General] sohail_2k:
Only happens when it creates a shortcut

Battery life on this is fantastic, only problem I am still getting on most of these releases in the wifi. If the wifi is turned on and I try to open, say Google Play, it wont let me, or if I use any app that uses a data connection it wont open. If I turn off the wifi, the app works fine on data, then if I re activate the wifi it continues to be ok. Anyone else having this or similar wifi problems?? Anyone got any ideas???

The router is fine as its only my phone that has this issue, my old s1, and s2 are fine, as is the kids minis and the htc the missus has.

Any pointers guys??

[Galaxy S III General] sohail_2k:
I think many of us are just restoring data through backup apps which don't create shortcuts. This issue is in the core application and hence a bug in the software. It is only affecting the Touchwiz though

Battery life

So far I have good battery life on these leaks. I forgot to take screenshots but I remember the stats well enough:

LI7:

Runtime: 1 Day 12 hours

Screen on: 3 hours

Usage: Mostly light to usage, such as texting, Facebook, lots of messages, some few minutes of videos, few minutes of gaming

LI8:

Runtime: 1 day 1 hour

Screen on: 3 hours

Usage: Mostly light to moderate usage. Half hour of gaming, few minutes of video, lots of messaging and texts.

For both I was on mobile data (4G) the whole time. Not Wi-Fi. So this is really good! Screen brightness was mostly around 30 to 50%. I have sync on with 2 Gmail accounts, browser, contacts, calendar, Google play music, Google drive, and Google currents.

This is how the battery life should be on all smartphones. They should be able to last the whole day (at least from morning to night; about 16 hours) with 3 to 4 hours of screen time.
[Galaxy S III General] android.francis:

[Galaxy S III General] fendushi:
Going back to DLI7 here too. Gave me a slow charging bug (30% after 4 hours), was OK after a reboot though. Then I totally lost confidence in DLI8 when it was still showing red LED at 100% charge.

Very minor issues, but I had none in DLI7 and battery life's better than DLI8 too.
[Galaxy S III General] 30Seconds:
I was considering going back to DLI7 as I don't find DLI8 smooth.

But it's probably pointless as DLI9 will be here soon I suppose.
[Galaxy S III General] barondebxl:
I do think that LI7 was a bit smoother than LI8, but battery life on LI8 is better than it is on LI7. I just want Samsung to fix the damn widget drawer lag!!!!!!!

The li7 is so perfect for me that i will stick to it since you guys are having problems with the li8
[Galaxy S III General] kEvinErd:
Hmm I'm on stock ICS and my keyboard cursor jumps about too. Typically happens when I'm using SwiftKey in Chrome and on forums when quoting other people's messages. Can't figure out where the issue lies in. But it certainly doesn't seem to be caused by Li8 since I'm on ICS.

Heads up, those of you who are rocking to the South Korean version of the Samsung Galaxy S3, which is also known by its model number SHV-E210K. It seems that the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean Test OTA (Over The Air) update for said handset can be retrieved, although it is not yet available to the masses. Word has it that this particular update will also be able to assist 3rd party Android Developers such as CyanogenMod Team to further improve their Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean custom ROMs for Samsung Galaxy S3. Again, we must stress that this particular Jelly Bean Test is meant for the South Korean version of the Galaxy S3 only, try it on other Galaxy S3 models and it will not work.

The entire OTA update weighs in at a massive 323.9MB, sporting a build date of September 18, 2012. You will need to be on E210KKKALH6 firmware before the update can be flashed properly. For the uninitiated, you might just want to play it safe and wait it out for an official Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean update for your device and save yourself from any potential heartaches and headaches.

Just a quick heads up for you guys out there that are having problems with the NatWest Bank app not showing the account balance. NatWest has just released an update that fixes that problem. On a side note, this also goes some way to confirm that the so called transparency bug that people have been complaining about does seems to be a problem with the individual applications rather than a JB issue.

[Galaxy S III General] Shadamehr:
A truly massive list of things that you claim "I claim to say..."

When in truth, I've never said half of them, and moreover, vurtually NONE of those things, in my original simple posts repeatedly about this issue itself in the first instance.

If that's the case, and you speak for me so much, is it even worth me responding at all to deny those claims...?

Not really. You'll just respond with more things you'd "imply I say, mean, or do..."

So I'll simply say this...

My purpose in posting here about this matter, my single reason for doing so, and the only thing I pointed out, is this...

When people repeatedly posted to say that the transparency bug (or bugs, code-change, or WHATEVER the cause it, it's irrelevant after all, in the context of what I say next) is such that it/they only affect 3rd Party Launchers, and as such, was unlikely to see any work or fix from Samsung, I merely kept reminding people that this is foolish thinking, as the issue or issues, affect more than just 3rd Party Launchers, that Samsung might well have no interest in.

Indeed, the exact issue may (and I'm not very convinced of that at all, but it's matterless anyhow in truth) be slightly different between 3rd Party Launchers, than official apps from multi-national brand companies. But that's genuinely irrelevant, as you could as easily say that they may even be two different issues, that then affect two different 3rd party launchers...

The end result/user experience, is all that counts, and all my posts ever did were point out that "The problem (or problems), are a bit more in depth than just 3rd Party Launchers, for which Samsung might not have much will to fix..."

Tell me in any way how my last sentence is untrue... then tell me in any way, what is wrong with me highlighting that fact..?

Then tell me why this argument, totally unnecessary, has dragged on for so long, just because Sammy fanbois perhaps wish to jump to the defence of Samsung, when it was wholly unneeded anyway, as these are just BETA versions for now, and NO ONE, me included, has the right to besmirch Samsung for anything at this point.

Why...? Simply why...?

People will likely dislike me now, for having dragged this out so long, or at least appearing to be the one who has.

But again, when all I ever did, was point out that the Transparency or Graphics Bug or Bug, affects more than just 3rd Party Launchers.

Now it's time for ME to ask in all honesty... where is the politeness... fairness... openness on this forum, that a member since 2004, cannot even post a simple sentence as that, without being pulled up over it, belittled over it, and have claims made as if from them, that simply are not true...

[Galaxy S III General] Shadamehr:
I don't see very much at all "reasonable" about someone who claims I stated "the issues MUST (your own capitals) be the same", when not only have I done no such thing, in previous posts I have repeatedly been careful to use words such as "bug or bugs, issue or issues (plural), or code change (a pluralisation).

As I have gone to great pains to stress that I do not in any way insist the issue is one single issue, and as your whole argument now, seems to be based on how I DO claim the issue is singular, then I fail to see either a) How you've been reasonable in any way, or b) How you even have an argument at all, if you are claiming something I have repeatedly went to pains to stress is not my view.

I trust this reply itself is "reasonable" though...

---------- Post added at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------

A very good post - and indeed, following an update yesterday to NatWest App to "be JellyBean compatible" as per the changelog, what do you know, but it's working now!

So there is every chance that some of this, or even a lot of this, is going to rest with the App Developers.

And just before anyone jumps in to say "told you so", no, no you really didn't - you've only listened to the untruths and made up implications of what OTHERS have said I am stating.

All I ever did, was point out that whatever the bug or bugs, issue or issues, or (and this is the key bit) code-change (as that now looks to be the case here), it was affecting more than just 3rd Party Launchers.

And so again, as now looks most likely... whatever the code-change in JB, this issue affects more than just 3rd Party Launchers.

That's what I have said previous, and the same I say now, and as your post indicates, indeed does seem to be the reason or cause...

One has to ask, why World War 3 on the forums, all for that...? I remember back in here in 2004 or 2005, when there was never so much as a fear of having anyone leap in to have a go at anyone.... how times have changed. But that's not aimed at you Sir. You sir, are entirely correct!

It's Titanium Backup, similar things to what has been said, if you aren't sure of some of these things it may not be the best idea to mess with root, custom roms, leaks and mods. If its just the abbreviation that was throwing you, then feel free to mod away :)

And perhaps try to fix permissions in CWM, it can solve problems like this.
