Unfortunately the bold parts from your post are the main reasons for delay of S3 & Note 2 JB 4.2.2 update I guess :/ making\forcing people upgrade to newer models or wait a long time for a new software update.If you plan to use the S3 for another year or two get used to this mate.

Most of major android oem's do this a lot including Sony,HTC & Samsung of course,but so far I've noticed that Samsung is actually a little better & faster comparing to the other mentioned oem's.
[Galaxy S III General] ballmead:
Most regular users don't give 2 stuffs what firmware is on their device. Most are happy with the way their phone works and complain when an update changes the way they used to do things or has too many changes.

I doubt that,I have my elder sister,few cousins & friends who got no idea even what is root but heartbroken that their Xperia Sola's & Xperia U's not getting JB update & how late Sony been to release 4.1.2 for Xperia S(well I agree with them on this one,Xperia S ICS update was a one hell of a sh!t firmware comparing to S3 regarding daily use and performance),some even vowed to never buy Sony devices again due to these reasons.Non of them are tech savvy people but due to the hype,bragging rights and advertising by oem's regular users(Younger generation,not the older generation) are starting to get interested in having the latest firmwares in their phones that have latest gimmicks.Or at least I must say this is the situation in my collage,family,working place.I gave the Sony user's as examples cos most of my friends & family are using Sony products.

I've upgraded more than 30 handsets(around 30-ish I think,cannot remember the exact number) in around 1-1.5 years already to the latest firmwares present in internet for various non tech savvy friends\family of mine due to their requests :/ and today I updated 3 of my friends i9300's to this leak after they seeing it in my phone,god bless Chainfire and mobile odin :laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] sherlock5545:
That's still a minority, I have friends and relatives with Android phones, none of them knows anything about the version running on their phones or why, despite being of different makes, they look so similar, etc.

Most of them don't care, just as they don't care if their computers are running fine or not, and then they get mad when something stops working, and there comes the whining, etc.

Stop saying that bad sales from S4 slows down the development of S3's updates. The S4 has better sales than S3, with 20 Millions devices sold in 2 months, versus 20 Millions in more than 3 months for the S3.

The bad info came from some financial analysts that made forecast with lower sales for Samsung, but they were wrong. Samsung's revenue are lower than expected for the beginning of the year due to the market's collapsing, but the sales of Galaxy S4 are still above expectations.

Factory Locked

I installed the this new leaked released Android 4.2.2 on my galaxy s3 gt-i9300. Everything works great except it has locked my network. When I bought it, it was factory unlocked and now i can't make calls and texts because it says "not registered on network. I've been looking for solutions since 2 days now. Please help me. :( :( :(

I had the same problem and this fixed it for me: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1918601

Read the instructions. Especially this part:
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
But it's true. And you have to know that Samsung hasn't sold 20 million device. Various reports show that 20 million devices have been shipped, but not a single one claims these 20 million shipped devices have been sold. A lot might still collect dust in a store, you know.

Shipped != sold (An exclamation mark before an equal sign means "is not equal to")

So this thing have a better leak than our Galaxy S3 ! Let's not even talk about the Note 2 --"

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/07/08/android-4-2-2-for-the-galaxy-grand-duos-leaked/

I really hope that all firmwares for S3 and Note 2 are done internally
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
Is this version stable? is everything working fine? because i heard that some of the users had heating problems!
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
That is kinda contradictory. It's called a leak because it is a leak. ;)

Leaks are betas, my friend, thus not stable.
[Galaxy S III General] stshhh:
No $hit? :) im running cyanogenmod nightlies on my s3 for 10 months and it's stable as officially stock ROM!
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
No, nightlies aren't stable. If it works without issues, you're in luck. A nightly is just the latest code merged and compiled, nothing more. The CM devs don't touch the nightlies themselves, they're compiled by a build bot. A stable CM build is branded stable, although that is just a rebranded nightly with unchanged code from a certain date anyway..
[Galaxy S III General] brouwerchris:
This leak has it's problems ( batterydrain & overheating ) but it's very stable:good:
[Galaxy S III General] Taubin:
Why would we talk about the grand duos, note 2, or any other phone in the I9300 forum, especially in a thread about a firmware SPECIFIC TO the GSIII? These threads never seem to stay on topic for more than an hour.

[Galaxy S III General] fcasoli:
with previous I9300XXDLH6

I cannot install Android Sync,

the issue comes from the non-official Android system. It prevent the Android-Sync service app from being instlaled to the Android device.

It may due to “file permission” issues of the “/data/local/tmp/” directory.

[Galaxy S III General] azunic:
I'm using this leaked firmware from 21.06. and today something strange happend to me... My phone was on my desk in front of me when I hear sound like it has rebooted... I look at him and he is booting up... After that I has to use it like first time I bought it... All settings like it is reseted to fabric settings... Strange things too is that I loose all my content on external SD card?!
[Galaxy S III General] rlucasrn:
Normally the factory reset doesn't format the external SD Card. But, as you said, it was a quite strange reset, involuntary. So, maybe it's more one bug to be fixed.
[Galaxy S III General] dugsoft:
is anyone else having problems with memory on this version?

mine leaks crazy sits at about 80mb left most of the day which in turn slows down and freezes the pone

don't want to go back to 4.1.2.:confused:
[Galaxy S III General] Alex---1:
Same issue, mines also been quite unreliable, locking up, black screens, gallery randomly closing to home screen.

I dont want to go back to 4.1.2 either after being on this haha. Running out of options though :(
[Galaxy S III General] HAAAAAATIUUUU:
Try V6 supercharger and Crossbreeder on this leak rom and promise everything will be buttery smooth ;)
[Galaxy S III General] :
thanks

The ROM is stable, my girlfriend is using it daily and she's very happy with it, the freezes are gone for her, although the battery drain is not sparkling she says.

And for the rooting process:

That's how I root anytime with every ROM possible, cause I don't like third party apps for rooting, if not urgently necessary, imho. :cowboy:

So you can keep your original kernel and upgrade the stock ROMs disabling supersu ;)
[Galaxy S III General] HypnosUY:
i know it´s a n00b question but i can be really paranoid when it comes to install firmwares on devices...

i have a i9300 rooted and with a custom rom (jellybam). can i install this firmware ??
[Galaxy S III General] Madhuresh:
Does any body experience random freezes for 5 seconds? It happening to me...
[Galaxy S III General] bilo1000:
Yep, Lag ... Too many ... Screen redraw each time i quit an app..... Stuttering when listening music.

So finally i decided to install AOKP Slim Bean

And ... WHOUAHHHHHH !!! gosh !!!!!! I think i'll stay on this rom until sammy release an official 4.2.2 ....
[Galaxy S III General] rlucasrn:
REALLY?!

Tell me more about it.... Benefits?!
[Galaxy S III General] bilo1000:
Well, SlimBean is based on AOSP ... So u have pure android experience like on Nexus.

4.2.2 without ToucchWizz !!!! That means no lag, no redraw, better memory improvement

Moreover, you can customise it with Pie launche, power widget (widget in status bar), you really can configure whatever you want.

One of my favorite is that you can choose the led color for each notification (Gmail, mail, FB, G+, SMS, Game, ....)

You can have multiple widget on lockscreen, and it really works, it's not limited with TW

For comparison, the SAMMY ROM is about 900Mo when SlimBean is only 100Mo !!!!

You can have a look here : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2106471

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------

Quoting myslef :D

Speaking of led notification color : I want to say it's directly integrated in the ROM, so you do not need to install a third party program like lightflow (so no problemes with talkback) .

And ... Photosphere is working with SlimBean
[Galaxy S III General] Cezar`:
Let's get some things straight for AOSP: no bluetooth A2DP, sound cuts off and only a reboot will bring it back, graphical artefacts, camera sometimes gives the error "Cannot connect to Camera" and only a reboot will fix it.

It's insanely fast though.
[Galaxy S III General] brouwerchris:
Was on Slimbean 6.9 happy for two days,went to 7,had to go back to de-bloated XXUFME7 leak Stripped down to the bone and on Nova Launcher its just as fast as AOSP,without its problems .

Only the heating issue remains,
[Galaxy S III General] markuz85:
A2DP works fine for me on AOSP fyi. I haven't had any other audio problems either, nor the camera issue.

I'm using Illusion 2.0 and it's flawless if you ask me.

Sorry for OT.

A2DP does not fully work, streaming works and changing tracks but no information will be displayed on your car's head unit display about the track that is playing and you cannot use special controls like shuffle and repeat. As well, the sound issues are there with many AOSP ROMs (sound just gets cutoff and only reboot will bring it back). Camera as well, especially when using multiple camera apps.

As for the latest report, Android 4.2.2 is coming this month so, within 2 weeks we shall have it.

Wth I can't quote. Regarding 4.2.2 being extremely delayed, didn't we get 4.1 much faster after the nexus release?

I've been using the leaked ME7 as my daily rom for 14 days now. It's been pretty stable considering it is in effect a test rom. These are the few problems that I have encountered.

1. Battery overheating in heavy use.

2. The modem is all over the place. Data jumps between 3g and H+ fit fun. Drops connection on voice calls regularly

3. Bluetooth headset keeps losing connection

4. Battery life is pretty awful.

5. TW lags when pushing the home button. About 5 seconds to redraw.

6. Keyboard keeps doing silly things especially in swipe mode. Disappearing is one of the most common problems.

Despite the problems I love some of the changes and will stick with it until we get an official 4.2.2 or 4.3.

If anyone has any "Fixes" to the above issues I'll try them out

people are now saying its not going to be released (4.2.2) (all over twitter) they think its a waste of time as the 4.3 is "being" tested by Samsung insider's but think 4.2 should be out by the end of August/September at latest but with the s5 being released at summer/autumn/winter next year i can't see 5.0 coming out on the s3 too but never mind they have our money and now dont care about updates for our devices whether we paid big £££ for it or not but you can hope like me for hell to freeze :( and get 5.0 next year

[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
Whether to skip 4.2.2 update or not is still not decided. Currently it's a "might skip it" (according to the source article).

But to think of it... the 4.3 & 5.0 update will take longer time because then Samsung will have to make the update for 4 major devices: S III, Note II, S 4, Note III. And who knows if there's gonna be another hot device (maybe S5?).

Not two devices when talking about 4.2.2. And even though it's being released July, just look how much time of waiting for two devices. And how much would it be for 4 (probably more) major devices for the next Android versions...

Samsung already struggling selling S4.

Doesn't make any sense if they keep S3 n S4 on same version of Android.

We would probably get 4.2.2 just after or near 4.3 on S4

Sorry to say when it comes to business, only important for any company is its revenue. Keeping S3 n S4 on same version will only hurt Samsung's sales!
