[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
Highly unlikely. They both still have the same commercial name, ie Galaxy S3. If the gt i9305 were the new flagship, it would have been marketed with a different name, like Galaxy S3 Plus or Advance.

Also, the majority of people who even know of the i9305's existence are those of us here on XDA, which make up a small minority of consumers. Which means that most people don't even know of the i9305 at all. So tell me again how the i9305 is the new flagship
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
2 gig of ram..Its faster less redraw..better multitasking.. pages load faster on the internet..jellybean out of the box
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
You didn't get my point. I only said the gt i9305 isn't the new flagship. I didn't say it wasn't the best phone by Samsung, because it clearly is.

Flagship = main product, though not necessarily the best. E.g.: Galaxy S2 was still the flagship even after the Galaxy Note came out
[Galaxy S III General] Jay Ssj:
Met a samsung guy. He said jb update coming next week end india
[Galaxy S III General] shethsa:
I'd think this is about right. Watch out for the note 2 launch in India. Jb update will coincide.
[Galaxy S III General] Stalkalainen:
Flagship

Also there is a serious lack of LTE around the globe, I am UK based and tied into a two year contract so i won't be going for LTE till all of the carriers have it and the prices are fair. I really don't want to pay £40-£50 for EE on 1GB allowance a month.

Yeah the 2GB might be nice when you really want to run TW based roms, since I moved to CM10 (Every nightly since like august) I have not seen one redraw. Granted its JB and until the memory leak and hwcomposer fixes went out it was a bit flaky, but my point is 1GB is more than enough for the newest Android version. It's a poor and seriously lazy option to just throw more RAM at something when there are people in the open source community who are doing a much better job of getting the most out of the hardware.

I for one am really thankful the S3 is so popular and that there are so many ROM's out there to try, and TBH there will not be more I9305's than I9300s at least not in the UK.

Maybe thats where the S4 comes in next year when the carriers know what frequencies they have...

[Galaxy S III General] riziger:
Sorry abit of a noob here who's out of the loop. So from what I gather no official JB has been released by Samsung? And all the roms here are based on leaks?
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
No thats wrong .

Samsung released JB but only to Poland Product Code so far .

Custom roms are mainly based upon that firmware as posted in General section .

[Galaxy S III General] riziger:
Ah alright, thanx for that!
[Galaxy S III General] AbuYahya:
how accurate are these rumours. previous there was supposed to be a release on 29th August and is was mentioned everywhere but nothing got released until the polish release.

so unless its an official samsung announcement take it with a pinch of salt!
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Yes, pretty much. Blog sites pull dates out of their arse and then people quote it here thinking it is a secret source or something. A couple of people have been accurate but generally you have as much idea as they do! :laugh:

You lose root when u flash a stock rom with odin ==> u need to root again afterwards. Flash cf-root v6.4 on top of ur rom and all will be good.

[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
The redraw will not go away because we have 1 gig of ram with android ics and touchwiz there's not much memory left Samsung made the biggest mistake by only putting 1 gig in and all the other versions of the galaxy s3 got 2 gig..

There are apps that keep the launcher Memory = No redraw. I use ram manager for that.
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Apex. It has keep in memory option. 0 redraw.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Everybody thinks that jellybean is going to solve the phones problems..there going to find out it isn't may be that's when everybody will wake up and realise that with android and touchwiz and multitasking you need more then a 1 gig of ram
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
You're partially right. With stock unmodified touchwiz, there's a lack of RAM which is very apparent. With a debloated (or super-debloated á la HyperLight) and tweaked touchwiz, then I would beg to differ.
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
You don't actually need a custom rom for that. Disabling most of the useless apps is sufficient for reducing ram usage significantly. For example, after disabling S voice and most of the Samsung hidden apps like Samsung Push, I hardly ever get the launcher redraw issue anymore.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
yeah well disabling doesn't delete them, and I'd like to think it's better to delete the stuff you don't want, rather than disabling them.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Where dose it say this in the instructions we shouldnt have to do this..so why don't we all complain to Samsung
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
Well, let's look at it this way.

There are two types of consumers: tech savvy ones, and non-tech savvy ones

The former would already know how to do these things and they would therefore be able to avoid the problems only they would care about.

The latter would know nothing of these things, but at the same time, they wouldn't even know or notice things like the launcher redraw.
[Galaxy S III General] pähkinä:
Well that's not entirely true. Many of my friends ("non-tech savvy ones") who switched to s3 from an apple, are complaining about the redraw issue. They may not know what to call it, but they do know it's there. I mean, it would take a blind person not to notice that, and it's not something you would expect from a 600 € device. I really do hope that samsung would fix this, since i don't want to go for rooted or custom roms (anymore), nor do i want to change my launcher or disable apps that samsung included in the rom to be used. Besides it is fixable, so i kinda do expect it to get fixed, or my next phone may not be samsung-made.

And "hardly ever" isn't good enough, in this case never is better.
[Galaxy S III General] shethsa:
Completely agree. I'm in this camp as well - ie the slightly lazy and tech savvy who doesn't want a custom rom.

Can anyone list out what all I can deactivate / delete to prevent redraws.
[Galaxy S III General] PaulGG:
Just install Apex Launcher, you can even keep it looking stock, no redraw and no need to root.
[Galaxy S III General] shethsa:
Thx. Will nova do the trick as well?

[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
i still think samsung are having problems with jellybean and touchwiz with just 1 gig but we will have to see is sammobile is right about the rollout starting on the 9 0ct
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
If thats true then that is ridiculous - a laptop with a 1.3gz processor and 256mb ram can run windows XP, the iPhone 3GS doesn't suffer running iOS 6 on 256 ram and the s3 with 1gig ram is a superphone, why the hell shouldn't it run nicely with 1g ram? The engineers need to work on fixing the system to work on the current/past devices rather than making more powerful phones to handle unoptimised software. The rom should be perfected to easily run on the current S3.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
so why do i get redraw every time i go back to my home screen if this phone is this good i shouldn't have any .. im fed with every body saying use this launcher or this one i shouldn't have to use any its not in the instructions..Ive got a nexus 7 and that don't have it so its got nothing to do with android
[Galaxy S III General] neo6776:
Oh for God's sake stop whining...

The redraw issue has absolutely nothing to do with the S3 only having 1gb of ram. Nothing at all. The redraw issue rarely happens for people anyway. Your making a mountain out of a molehill.

Why do you keep bleating about Samsung having issues with jelly bean? Is it because it wasn't out on the 1st October which is when you started whining in the first place demanding to know why it hasn't been released? Samsung said October. That could be anywhere between the 1st and 31st.

It will be out when it's out.
[Galaxy S III General] sids911:
Although I agree with the first part, I dont agree about redraw. Happens almost everyday on my S3.

And I believe its the implementation and integration of TWlauncher to be blamed, not RAM.
[Galaxy S III General] neo6776:
I rarely ever got it before I started using nova.

But agreed, it's nothing to do with ram.
[Galaxy S III General] Bbott:
For those of you useing TouchWiz, try going into Application Manager and disabling "Weather" and "Weather Main". I found that once I disabled both, the home screen redraw issues went away. Let me know if that helps.

Unfortunately or fortunately, that process isn't showing up in my apps manager.

Great, everybody here knows that though. But that's not the point, the point is that Samsung screwed up the software (once again) and that they should fix it. In top of the line phone like this you're not supposed to tune up the device in order to make it work as it should, period.

Updated via the Jellybean update posted on here and now running 4.1.1 (Build JRO03C.I9300XXDLH7)

However, watching the video here..http://cnettv.cnet.com/android-4-1-j...-50127109.html

shows a camera gallery that doesnt work on our S3s and the offline Voice as you type doesnt seem to work either.

On the video as shes talking its updating the text as she says it, try that on my S3 and nothing.

I know the feature of swipe up to Google now wont work as there is no soft home button.

Wondering whether we have "crippled" versions due to samsung rom?
[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
You need to set your language to a specific language in the Google Now/voice search options. If it's set to "automatic" it requires a data connection.

This is going from memory of what I've read here, I don't actually have the firmware myself.
[Galaxy S III General] ejatds:
can anyone confirm these features on jb for s3?

- lockscreen music controls

- drag and drop for folders & new folder icon (i like touchwiz launcher better then stock ics/go launcher/etc)

- wifi fix (repeatedly getting "connected to ______ wifi network" notification when i was already connected anyway)
[Galaxy S III General] KennyLegend:

Does anyone know if this new jellybean upgrade will fix the dumb picture text messages showing up as 'slide show' which is the most annoying thing ever and i cant even fathom why it repeatedly keeps rearing its head from samsung and they can NEVER fix it?!

(would also be nice if the call activity log could permenentaly only show calls and not have to show me text message activity too?!!?)

Beyond that, i also believe we will not see jellybean for a MININUM of 2 weeks, probably more like a month.

[Galaxy S III General] LBTaylor1984:
Samfirmware has it listed as a OTA update, does this not mean a general release?
[Galaxy S III General] _JKay_:
Don't expect the first official JB release to be bug free!! There will be bugs... I was hoping for an optimized ROM. Faster and using less memory. But unfortunately it seems to go the other way!! Bigger apps and more services running.. same old story.. we need more RAM etc etc... it's sad...
[Galaxy S III General] umberto.sulla:
Last leak is a little buggy, but it is less memory hungry... now I have more than 300 MB free at startup... before I only had ~200... with same stuff running.

I think that working on unused services and disabling them we will have a lot of ram for multitasking purposes...
[Galaxy S III General] thunder8yte:
One question about the memory leak, it's correct that it's only on the AOKP and AOSP roms right ?
[Galaxy S III General] jonstatt:
NOT released. The firmwares appearing as a Kies available firmware are the released ones. The ones with the big exclamation mark are test firmwares "at your own risk" but in the form of an OTA update (patch rather than full image code.
[Galaxy S III General] ganucci:
It's 4.1.1
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Not what I meant.

I mean the baseband version.
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
I'd love it if you bought a new £500 phone, got it out the box and it was dead. You took it back to the shop and the guy (or gal) says to you "Oh for God's sake stop whining..."

People pay a lot of money for these devices and the software is flawed enough to cause problems using it, and when that happens, people go to the correct place to see if they can find a solution, only to have a half-wit with a cactus jammed up their rear end treat them like they are being ridiculous. Now, I get that this could be an off day to you, but if that is how you generally react to/treat people doing the sensible thing when they have a problem, then good luck in life, mate.

and back on topic, I really do hope that JB fixes this issue once and for all, and I'm optimistic since many users on here have had positive experiences with the leaks.

this thread is funny now...some complete bollox coming out due to the tedium of waiting for official global JB release, but it does make me chuckle.

Oh and for the record I don't get this redraw problem which I very much doubt is due to RAM limitations. Been running jellyBean on my Nexus S (2 year old phone now) for months, and admittedly it doen't have touchwiz weighing it down, but half the memory and still chugs along nicely.

My SGS3 on the other hand is flying along thank you. Any delay releasing JB is very unlikely due to memory limitations on the world's 3 month old #1* smartphone

Ok so im hoping someone can kind of lead me in the right direction here, i've had my S3 since launch and never bothered to root it, but now im starting to get the itch of putting a custom ROM and playing around a bit :D So can anyone tell me, what is the most "stock" type JB ROM going at the moment? I'm guessing there are far too many to define a definite "best" but are any most advisable?

And what about a ROM that doesn't use Touchwiz, im liking the idea of using say a Nexus build or something and just having the Android OS as Google see it, rather than using Samsung's own stuff smothered over the top

In my opinion, custom roms on the S3 don't hold much advantage over stock roms, which is why I stick with stock odexed . Battery life, smoothness, speed all seem to be similar.

For an AOSP rom, u could try CM10 by Team Hacksung or Super Nexus build by Faryabb. Both get great reports and have stock Google Android jelly bean sources.

Way smaller roms too and less bloat.
