patriotaki: french and spain jelly bean is for unbranded/unlocked devices, so if we are now in september, i would say that real rollout already started, right?
[Galaxy S III General] Cyclosporine:
Hello, newbie here, my apologies if this has been addressed before, I searched but found limited info and nothing confirmed.

I'm running my GS3 on flash JB from Spain firmware unbranded, I was previously on the Poland version released almost a month ago which I had bad battery life and one or two bugs, supposedly this new Jelly Bean rollout from Samsung has fixed those but I'm still having battery issues.

All I could find is that some are not experiencing the battery issue and others (like myself) still are on the new firmware while others claim to wait at around 3-5 days for "the battery to settle in".

And then I see articles claiming that JB on the SG3 handles battery life better than ICS. So anyone has any clear word on what exactly is going on with JB and battery?

Thanks, loving this community, just came from a Blackberry a few months ago and still can't believe all the things you can do with Android phones.
[Galaxy S III General] wolvie_rs:
Well, for all people experiencing problems with stock "Continuous Input" Samsung keyboard after updating to Jelly Bean, here the procedures (i made it) to fix.

- Stock 4.0.4. CWM Recovery installed. Wipe / Factory Reset, Cache Reset, Dalvik Reset. Update to JB. Works fine after. With "stock" recovery, without Dalvik (i believe this is the difference) no way to works.

Maybe a stupid thing (Why he use the original swype keyboard?) but i like the offline google keyboard. With Swype or Swiftkey, no way to use it (until now). Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

Google Now and location services are draining battery more than default ics,because in ics,there wasnt google now.Try to disable Google now and you 'll see improvement ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Cyclosporine:
I have noticed that whenever I fool around with Google Now the battery turns into a water faucet. I'll give it a try, thanks :good:
[Galaxy S III General] Gramrock:
thanks.

I'm wondering... did anybody test the audio quality of video recordings yet on any of the latest jb releases yet ??

I saw few vids on youtube and the digital zoom's quality and audio quality were WAY better than now...

Can anybody confirm that ?

You can always flash any existing firmware on your international S3 using ODIN. :)

i9300 jb problem (minor-ish)

Hey, it's my first post, so I'll try to be concise and descriptive..

I have the gs3 i9300, and live in Canada. I got the phone off ebay from the UK. Had no problems until I went to JB.

So using Odin, I flashed an official JB and have some odd issues.. and I seem to be the only one as far as my research skills go.

Issues:

-On lockscreen, the 'Messaging' shortcut icon always shows the red '1' notification regardless of whether or not I have any unread texts

-I can't remove lock screen shortcuts in settings - upon trial, it fails and gives the "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped working". I CAN, however, move the icons around, and I was able to add a new one (not gonna happen again if I can't remove any)

-Charging on outlet doesn't work properly. It charges very slowly. If i use it while plugged into outlet, battery drains slowly. If I don't use it while plugged into outlet, it charges very slowly (went up about 20-30% in 8 hours). USB charging works fine, though.

I tried flashing 3 different LJ1 roms, and an now on the LJ2 rom. Same issue everywhere. Am I supposed to do a clean reset? Because I had understood that with the official samsung rom, a clean reset was not necessary - unless the fact that I'm in Canada is somehow affecting that (don't see how unless it has to do with that 3 letter region code - speaking of which, what is the 3 letter region code in Canada?)

Any guidance to getting it back to normal would be greatly appreciated.

PS: When charging, I the battery information is Settings says "Charging (AC)" - I forget if that happened before I flashed, or if that's odd as well.
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
First rule of flashing is, if you get problems, wipe all the settings and start again. By all means do a backup first but if start fresh and it works then you know it is in your settings, so it may be better just to set things up manually anyway.
[Galaxy S III General] solarbird:
Does france version have English?
[Galaxy S III General] BinaryEclipse:
yes, all of the roms generally have all the languages (that's a bit of a generalization, but all of Europe for sure)

---------- Post added at 02:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:11 AM ----------

Thanks. the lock screen problems are gone, so I'm assuming the rest are too, but I'll make sure later - just sucks that I have to redo my nice setup though.

Question: In the future, what should I do to prevent having to reset everything again? Any tips on not messing up again? or does that kinda thing just happen if you're unlucky. I didn't want to admit it, but on my first flash, I didn't turn my phone off before putting it into download mode, and I didn't disable lookout security. Could one of those have caused the problem?
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
It is probably just an incompatibility between versions, not much you can do about that. I would recommend an app called Titanium Backup which lets you keep backups of apps and data. You can restore the whole phone or just the data or even just one item. Have a look, it does need root but it's makes life so much easier.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Is there any good replacement for the CM10 camera? I am currently o så touchwiz but the only thing that keeps me back is the poor camera. :/
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Only waiting on orange and t mobile
[Galaxy S III General] avatar7:
I've got Vodafone UK 4.1.1 which I installed yesterday.

Can this be rooted?
[Galaxy S III General] Poshdaz:
So if you are unbranded you have to wait for the lowest common denominator to get their sorry acts together.

Just pleased that in the UK we don't have to put up with the sort of control freak retard networks our US friends have to suffer.
[Galaxy S III General] bobsie41:
Will this now be one EE rom??
[Galaxy S III General] chaz81:
Doubt ee will be concerned with a Rom for a phone they see as outdated already , hence the reason orange and t-mobile are last to release
[Galaxy S III General] DrNet1983:
waiting for any middle east version....

anybody knows what will be included in JB 4.1.2 ?
[Galaxy S III General] bobsie41:
On the nexus 7 it was homescreen rotation and minor improvements.

Don't hold your breath though. ;)

Default voice app

Hello,

with JB I'm unable to change anymore the default app when I would like to make a call with a bluetooth handset. I prefer to use Cyberon Voice Command instead of SVoice (it's faster and works offline) but it's possible to do this only with ICS. Any Suggestions?

thank you,

Max
[Galaxy S III General] shr95:
I guess so I guess! Thanks Theshawty! :good:
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
I think MX Player is at fault here. It's only briefly got JB support.

As i said works fine for me on all JB roms but their is a new Beta release .

jje
[Galaxy S III General] markn73:
The new stock rom Dli1 works beautifully. Smooth as silk and Google voice as well.
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
I really hope the JB update fixed the redraw problem, that's pretty much the only thing that stops this great phone being the perfect phone
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
I wonder if the 2 gig version has the redraw
[Galaxy S III General] privateryan:
I still get it when I exit Play Store now and again... anywhere up to a 5 sec cold launcher reboot/redraw... I'm pretty much over it now though lol! the rest of the S3 experience for me is superb and I really feel like it zips around on navigation between screens etc..

If the redraw gets no better than I'm finding it in LH8 I'd be ok.

One thing I had heard JB fixed that I've not found is that I'm still getting Notification sounds playing over music (i.e. music STOPS, notification sounds, then music resumes) - I prefer it when the music dims slightly, you get your bing or bong or whatever and the music volume returns...
[Galaxy S III General] ididnt:
ha ha ha!!!:laugh:
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
You may be fine with it but I'm sick of having to wait 5 seconds everyone I want to do something, and for a2012 flagship that cost me£500 I expect a lot better, my iPhone doesn't do it, my old Nokia n95 with no ram or processor to speak of didn't do it and also could multitask better, I'm pretty disappointed with this handset so far and if such a minor thing that could easily be ironed out isn't fixed I'll never be buying another android handset again. I am very pleased with many features that ICS has that my iPhone and wp7 phone don't, but ask of those features will be coming to wp8 with the beauty and smoothness of wp7 and android/Google/Samsung should really pull their finger out. This phone has more processing power and ram than my first Windows xp computer or laptop and it should behave like it.
[Galaxy S III General] jbakers:
You, my dear Sir, are definatly doing something wrong if you are experiencing this problem.

Mine is running on the latest JB leak and its purring like a little kitten!

No lag whatsoever, and much more userfriendly as ICS!
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
If returning to the hometown is"doing something wrong" then I do something wrong a lot... just like iPhone 4 owners tend to hold their phones wrong...

That though is some good news that JB fixed it for you. Which build are you running? I haven't bothered to root and flash since the official release is supposedly so near, and I hope it is.

Edit= you said already which build lol oops
[Galaxy S III General] firomero:
my experience

dsp manager FC

samsung keyboard FC

random restart

so for me 4.0.4 is way more stabe i will however stick with this one and hope for an OTA fix
[Galaxy S III General] PaulGG:
mine is completely stock, put Apex on it on day 1 as did not like TW, had it 2 months, had all the OTA updates, never had re draw still get it on my HOX though, even with Apex.
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
That's good,I wish I didn't get it at all.

I meant home screen in my last post not home town... Swype autocorrect haha

[Galaxy S III General] matttye:
Anyone else think JB will be released on or around September 12th, when the new iPhone is being announced? :P
[Galaxy S III General] boulek:
Before that i guess...Or i hope so...

When the OTa update is out all the devices receive together like iphone or it has to do with region and branded-unbranded device like HTC??
[Galaxy S III General] chavocarlos:
Anybody have this issue, i didn't notice before, i noticed it since DLH9 JB leak and now in DLI1, is when I switch to other home screen, looks like a bug in transparency, like a remain/cached image for previous transitions. Sorry if cannot explain well, English isn't my native language ... but an image talk more than words.

See my attachments.

Ah, it happen with all this lauchers apex, nova, TW, dont' happen withn golauncher ... maybe an stock launcher bug, seems like nova, apex, an TW are stock ICS/JB based, make sure to switch between home screens two o three times to see the fade bug.
[Galaxy S III General] the2rrell:
Mine does not fade at all.....no matter how many times i switch between home screens.
[Galaxy S III General] chavocarlos:
Really? what version of JB use you? Screenshoots was uploade in wrong order, the 14:38 screen is the first, the 14:39 is the second, this fade/transparency bug shows only during transition between screens, when the transition stop, the transparecy goes ok again.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Samsung is being retarded in the UK because they send the networks unbranded firmware they could release for them to add there crap
[Galaxy S III General] bobsie41:
This is the case however, I don't understand how some networks appear to have recieved newer firmware than others on which to add their bloat to. :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] hells_dark:
Maybe all of this is for load balancing on their server. I'm french and still can't download the update via OTA because of the server load (message "try later").
[Galaxy S III General] Kangburra:
Maybe the UK will have to wait until everyone else has their as the load would be too much while others are updating? <- Kidding :D
[Galaxy S III General] alchopop:
I have decided that from now on I am only going to whinge, whine and generally moan on this forum. I am no longer going to post anything useful nor help any other member in any way.

Please don't try and stop me because all efforts to do so will be futile.

[Galaxy S III General] chaz81:
your upgrade is at the same time as your unbranded jelly bean update
[Galaxy S III General] avatar7:
Any one who has updated to 4.1.1 Vodafone UK notice increase in battery drain??
[Galaxy S III General] alchopop:
:confused: how did you gather that from my post? I wasn't referring to upgrades or otherwise, just reflecting the general tone on this forum lately and trying to be tongue in cheek
[Galaxy S III General] AndyClough:
Yes. I am going to give it a few days to settle down and see if it gets any better.
[Galaxy S III General] chaz81:
From your signature :) if you hadn't noticed I was also being very tongue in cheek in relation to the wait for the update in reference to your next upgrade date :)
[Galaxy S III General] alchopop:
Oic, i'd forgotten my Sig. I mostly login from my phone these day's.

Have a nice day
[Galaxy S III General] ixon2001:
T-mobile & Orange/ EE now still haven't released their JB update, so does that mean until they release it, we won't see it until they do?

As we all know T-mobile are crap when it comes to releasing updates, so we could still be in for a long wait before we see it on sim free. :crying:
[Galaxy S III General] bobsie41:
Not sure. For some reason, updates in other countries don't seem to obey this release criteria. :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] avatar7:
Hmmm ok. I was thinking since I have updated to 4.1.1 Vodafone UK. Could I update to 4.1.1 Stock France by same method using Odin3 to see if that is any better?

Also do I need to change my CSC or could I just leave it intact.
[Galaxy S III General] gfighter:
I ran the 4.1.1 update through Keis yesterday. Seems really nippy with nice new animations. Does anybody know if it able to use split screen applications now? I cant find an option for it.
[Galaxy S III General] AndyChecker:
Are you on an unlocked phone with BTU (UK) settings?
[Galaxy S III General] bobsie41:
This feature is not present in sgs3 jellybean (so far) :(
[Galaxy S III General] gfighter:
Nope, locked to O2 UK. I haven't messed with it yet. Runs great as it is.

Awww man..... That is annoying. The split screen feature and some lockscreen controls for the stock Music Player would have been great!
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
The more annoying thing is that they still didn't fix the black bar bug in the galley. Try to zoom the photo. you'll see.
[Galaxy S III General] gfighter:
At the top of the screen where the notification bar is/should be?
[Galaxy S III General] brendonwardmusic:
I am sorry bro but could you stfu, every single post you have made in these JB threads has been nothing but moaning and demanding.

JB has been released officially if you can't wait for your precious unbranded uk version to be released then flash one of the others and remove the bloatware its the damn same thing!

Oh wait you expect everything to be given to you how you want and when you want it.

When it finally gets released you will still find something to moan about just because that's the kinda person you are.

I am waiting for the same version as you.
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Yes. It stuck there in both portrait and horizontal modes. :eek:

They should just replace the whole thing with Note II gallery.
[Galaxy S III General] gfighter:
Oh yeah! I see your point. Havent actually played with the Note2 yet. Might have to check it out at lunch....
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Not sure if you have S3 and Note II or you think Note II is an app on your S3. :silly:

Also there is another annoying bug, when your screen goes dark but before the screen locks if you press the home button it will exit the app instead of waking up the screen.

But if you press the power button it will wake up as it should do.
[Galaxy S III General] gfighter:
I have the S3. I can walk into a shop to play with the Note2 handset. :confused:

The S3 has wifi issues; before my update last night the Wifi would switch off at night when on charge, even though it set NOT to do that in Settings and loses internet connectivity walking around between APs in my office.

With the screen locking, it gets dimmer then brighter before locking.
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
Not when it goes dimmer, wait until it's black then press the home button, it will not just wake up. It will close the app you were in.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:

[Galaxy S III General] DrNet1983:

[Galaxy S III General] carrd:
This is the one thing stopping from from upgrading, aparently its a feature I know that the power button wakes without closing the app, but someone must be able to fix this in the JB rom, like I say its the only thing keeping me on ICS

The last few hundred posts have dealt with the releases of JB. Try and at least read one of them before you post.

JB is out officially for some networks and for some countries, it's not out everywhere or for everyone yet.

Edit: I see you're in Bangladesh. It is not out there.
[Galaxy S III General] wolvie_rs:
Hello my dear friend. Take a look on this website:

In the firmware section, you can check wich releases (distributions) are ready to download and flash.

I called samsung UK support about the JB for unbranded (Sim free) phones,

I was told it is most likely going to be out late this week or early next week.

Im not sure how accurate the support operators word is, but thats the only info I have.

The person did say to check everyday as the update is due very soon.

Hope it helps,

Just flash French unbranded now and then UK one when out. Simple.
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
Have there been many cases of bricking when flashing jb roms to s3?
[Galaxy S III General] avatar7:
I may do this. I have just put Vodafone UK 4.1.1 on my unbranded S3 using Odin3. Can I simply update to French Unbranded using Odin3 and not mess about with the CSC stuff and the once UK is out put that on after using Odin.

Would I loose my settings, files and apps by doing this?
[Galaxy S III General] prasadns26:
Samsung UK facebook says the same.....:) should be accurate....
[Galaxy S III General] circuit89:
If you flashed the Vodafone update, your CSC might have already changed. There should be no problem in flashing the french unbranded using ODIN and flashing the UK unbranded when it comes out eventually. You wont lose any settings, files or apps.
[Galaxy S III General] BlackMonkey:
Open S-voice go to Settings and activate "open with Home button" and the Home button will behave like in ICS. Not a real fix but a good workaround.
[Galaxy S III General] FDisk80:
I know. Only I don't wand S-Voice and it also adds a delay that is annoying as hell.
[Galaxy S III General] dodgebizkit:
There's no reason why the UK unlocked version should be held back any more :S anxious to try it!
[Galaxy S III General] Black Dawg Down:
Can anyone answer this:

I flashed my Middle East phone to the Polish JB. Didn't change CSC, did not root. Since the CSC is different to the original Middle East CSC, does it mean I won't get any OTA updates ever?

If that's the case, will flashing to Middle East JB in the future mean I will get OTA?

Or does it mean the only way I can update from now is via Odin?
[Galaxy S III General] pähkinä:
Yes.

Yes, as long as you set the csc to match your country.

No.
[Galaxy S III General] Black Dawg Down:
Thanks,

But the problem is I bought the phone online and don't know which country in Middle East it came from. Is there any way you can pin it down to the specific country now that I'm on a different ROM?

Edit: The original CSC was I9300OJVBLF3 which is multi CSC
[Galaxy S III General] circuit89:
Check the box. It should say I9300RWD--- where (---) is the CSC.
