[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhoffy22:
I gave this a try but I'm not able to update. I'm rooted with stock everything. Whenever I check for an update I get the same message that I am already up to date. I show version L710VPLG8
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
Wife did the update and now clock force closes when she tries to click on the widget to go into the alarm settings. Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it. The phone is unrooted.

Edit: Went in and cleared the clock out and that has seemed to fix it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
These roll outs usually take about 3 weeks to get to everyone.only a percentage of users get the updates each day.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tft:
anyone else having problems with the POS sprint connection optimizer? after the update it keeps forcing me to "agree" to the connection optimizer, despite disabling it, it enables itself again and agreement reappears..

i wish they remove this garbage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] NoHousePhone:
I haven't had that happen. Did you go into the settings and disabled it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fzammetti:
I got prompted once after the update, not more after that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Eric1985:
Hey guys I can't check for it no longer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galexandr:
Heu guys. Did anyone notice after the uodate the battery does not hold the charge as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Teczeus:
I do not have root... and this is what worked for me... someone posted link a few pages back to manually install update.

Is it possible to access the recovery on a non rooted phone...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zanderman112:
You can access stock recovery. Hold Volume Up + Power when turning on until you see blue text on the top left corner of the screen, then let go.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mababer1:
All right.... That's what I thought... Now is there some fast boots option I need to unchecked.... Ya I just traded my evolution 4G lte in for this phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zanderman112:
Nope. Nothing like that

Posted by Mr. Z's Galaxy S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mababer1:
That's what I was starting to see... Cause when I hold volume up plus power button the phone only boots normally and doesn't take me into stock recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zanderman112:
Oh *face palm* I'm so sorry. Its Vol Up+Home+Power.... I'm so sorry.

Did freeza's update via CWM. Is the build number supposed to still show IMM76D.L710VPALG8? My modem shows L710PLI3.

[Edit]

Nevermind, I drudged through the whole thread and found out you have to flash the odexed or deodexed zip to get the ROM. The other zip is just the modem, baseband and kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] llfloyd79:
Finally got the OTA Update pushed to my phone this morning. No issues. Everything running smooth. I had the zip file last week but wanted to see how long it took to get the OTA the old fashion way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] PlayYourPosition:
alright, i'm trying to give this a go...

rooted stock gs3 and have followed qb's tutorial. I think I made a slight error when I rooted initially, so I did the stock recovery and loaded the cwm. I rooted before I did a cwm backup, does this mean i no longer have stock recovery unroot? Meaning, I should have done a cwm back up before I rooted thus no longer having a stock recovery to flash so I can unroot and load the LI3 update?

So what are my options? going from rooted stock s3, would I be better off going to blazer's ROM or another custom rom with the update already applied or loading a stock recovery, unroot, load the LI3, and then re-root?

Apologies if my terminology is off, I'm trying to map this out in my head. I'm happy with stock root, but think it's time maybe I should go custom ROM. Now if I go custom ROM, I have a titanium back up of all my user data. Is it as simple as loading the custom rom, installing titanium backup, and then reloading the back up on the custom rom to get all my apps, texts, phone numbers, all user data back on the custom rom?

Sorry for so many questions, I've read a bunch I'm just trying to grasp the concept in full before I start diving into the custom rom section.

I'm actually digging this version of Swype, the beta world make my cursor move all over the place in go sms and email
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Straticus:
Anyone else have any character preview/predictive text issues on the keyboard? I'm running stock on the GSIII and got the OTA update yesterday. Since then my phone has been sluggish, no character preview or predictive text and it's been terrible.

Anyone got any clues? :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tqpolo:
Can I update the moden version when if I'm running AOKP rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeremiah.rs:
does anyone know where i can get swype from the latest rom? i like the layout more than the beta, and i use cm10 so i was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to how to do that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dragon_rckr:
Check the app and theme section, it's over there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dr. Fed:
Anyone notice a difference in GPS accuracy after this rom +firmware?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] a2tz:
Yes. Clark44 made a good modem flasher. Should work for you. Modems are independent of the Rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Eazail70x7:
The update still hasn't been pushed to my phone yet. When can I expect it to come?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tsquared_903:
Try this: Go to Settings > Apps (or Applications) and select show All. Then find Google Services Framework and click the Clear Data button. Then click the Force Stop button.

Might have to do it a couple times but that should work. Think I did it twice before my phone sent me the notification.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stevesprivateaccount:
It you do the above gSF clear, and then go to updates and check for an update you should be able to grab it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] crazymook:
First post but I lurk a lot. Rooted s3 but stock otherwise. I woke up randomly last night and checked my phone and noticed I had an update. Being half asleep, I hit reboot and install. Phone rebooted but instead of installing anything, it rebooted to recovery (where I have the option to reboot, flash, etc). Again, being half asleep, I just hit reboot and it rebooted the phone like normal but no update took place. Everything works fine.

Why would it have gone to the recovery screen first? I 100% new to rooting and such so have mercy. Double checked and I'm still on LG8. I would like to see if this update does anything as, shockingly enough, I do get LTE outside Chicago (30 down, 10 up)...so if this helps further with LTE, I'm all for it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Wasn't the direct link to Google posted for this update? So anyone can go grab it at anytime, correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phqchevys:
I have yet to see an update on my phone... I guess i"m at the bottom of the list :crying:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Has anyone experienced the phone not wanting to connect to known 4G/LTE signal with the new baseband? It seems to be happening to me. I know many people don't have LTE yet, but now I am wondering if I want to flash the L8 baseband back. Optimizer on or off, restarting phone or not, doesn't matter. The only thing I can do is cycle mobile date or airplane mode or restart phone to get it back but even then it seems to not want to hang onto the signal as well as L8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zanderman112:
Yepp. All they have to do is search. Hint: its in this thread.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jhuff83:
I just got the update but I'm rooted and dont want to break it. I'm use to the HTC. What do I need to do so I can get update and not break root?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Moricon:
Because you are rooted the update didn't flash it was looking for the stock recovery which you don't have any longer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bondosho:
I just got my update this morning. I'm in Anaheim, CA.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
That isn't right. You can flash with CWM. I did but the flash will reinstall the stock recovery unless you flash team epic's root from recovery zip right after you flash the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] paul85:
Ditto, but I'm in NE Kansas. I went down to breakfast, looked at the phone, had the notification, flashed it, and boom, its working the exact same as before the flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uribees:
I have google now installed so it won't let me update properly. Anybody know how to revert back so I can get it updated?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
Just restore the old GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk in the /system/app folder and rename the Now version to .bak. It may be called velvet.apk. If you don't have the original search box apk then download the flash able restore zip from the Now thread and pull the apk from it and place it in your system/app directory.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] uribees:
So I was able to get it working by flashing a nandroid backup I had (sans Google Now) and running the update zip through CWM. Once I got the update installed the Google Now install found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1823194 no longer worked. I found out I wasn't able to install Google Now due to the universal search being removed in L710VPLI3 (I had previously reinstalled it after it was removed in the previous update). Once I reinstalled the old universal search apk in system/app and reflashed the Google Now zip everything was back up and running. Attached is the Universal Search Apk if anyone needs it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
All this was not neccessary at all. I have a Sprint S3. I had originally installed Now manually because I like to know where things are going and what is being replaced rather than flashing it. So all my original files were there still just with .bak at the end of them. I had lost universal search a long time ago because after installing Now I didn't give a crap about fixing that, but that has nothing to do with getting google Now reinstalled. I just renamed the GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk to .bak and just replaced it with the Now version of the apk that I had saved as a .bak and everything was back to normal for the update. All the other files that flashed originally with the now zip file were still there and this update did nothing to them so all you had to do was replace and then re-replace the apk's.

All that stuff you did was not neccesary. You just needed the stock L8 version of the searchbox apk in your system folder which is a non-universal search version of it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] poit:
Install OTARootkeeper, before flashing back up root, after flash restore root. You may have to rerun superuser to totally clean things up afterwords. it's free on google play. follow the instructions.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FancyRabbitt:
Is there anyway to get rid of the inferior swype that sprint just had to push to our phones? Can I uninstall it and go back to swype beta like any normal person should. I knew the swype was coming when I updated but if there is a way I can go back, I would do so in a heartbeat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MobDad:
Yep. This will work for only rooted phones because you need to access files from root. I moved the 3 original files to my SD card so if I want to uninstall Swype Beta, I can replace all the original files.

1. Go to Settings/Language and input and set Samsung as your default keyboard (if it is not already)

2. Open your favorite root file manager. Make sure your file system is set to R/W.

3. Delete, rename or move \system\app\swype.apk (I moved them to safe location so that I can move them back at a later time)

4. Delete, rename or move \data\dalvik-cache\system@app@Swype.apk@classes.dex (might be .odex depending on your ROM)

5. Delete, rename or move \system\lib\libSwypeCore.so

6. Reboot

7. Download and Run the latest Swype Beta installer

8. Go to Settings/Language and input and set Swype Beta as your default keyboard (Voila)

If you get FC's after installing Swype BETA then remove Swype and the Swype Installer under Manage Apps, re-boot and install the BETA again. Might be some stuff left over from the old version that can cause this problem. Mine worked fine though with no FCs.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay5583:
That's how I did my update...didn't even have to change the file name
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
To clarify...I'm stock and rooted and have the modified search apk so I can have universal search.

I want to update and keep Root...

1 - Download the update posted earlier from Google

2 - Revert to old search

3 - Boot into recovery and flash the update

4 - While in recovery re-flash CWM recovery

5 - Reboot

Is that it? For the last update I had to unroot and flash the stock recovery, update via the phone/sprint (not in recovery), re-root and flash a new recovery. That was pain, but it worked.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
As long as you download the update instead of letting Sprint push it, you can use CWM to flash the update, just have to have he L8 version of search there instead of any modified version. Then once you flash the update before you get out of recovery flash Team Epic's Root from Recovery zip file that is in the Sprint galaxy s3 development section (search for it) then reboot and you won't lose root. Then just re-patch whatever search you want.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] myn:
If you are stock rooted, here is the easiest way to upgrade your device with latest radios/modem and ROM while maintaining root. This assumes you are currently on LG8 and wish to upgrade to LI3. If you have altered apk files on your device (example google search), push the original which came with LG8.

Download ea5d7d1ce298.update_SPH-L710_LG8_to_LI3.zip (Official LI3 OTA Update)

Download TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip

Copy ea5d7d1ce298.update_SPH-L710_LG8_to_LI3.zip and TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip to sdcard or internal storage

Reboot into CWM recovery

Nandroid backup

Flash OTA Update (ea5d7d1ce298.update_SPH-L710_LG8_to_LI3.zip) (DO NOT REBOOT - Doing so will flash the stock recovery and you'll loose root)

Flash TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip (this will rename the install-recovery.sh file that flashes stock recovery and root ROM)

Reboot into ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zanderman112:
Thanks myn! Doing this now.

Posted by Mr. Z's Galaxy S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
Awesome, thanks. Now to find the LG8 Google search instead of the modified universal search. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] polkadots:
After not being able to find the old .apk I remembered I had it backed up with Titanium...reverted back, followed the steps posted above, and boom...all updated to LI3. Many thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] danbre123@yahoo.com:
Thank YOU! This worked amazing well. Swype Beta rocks compared to whatever Samsung put on there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
This was so easy since I am stock and rooted. Downloaded file from google, renamed to update.zip and put on root of sdcard. Booted into CWM recovery and ran nandroid, update.zip and then team epic's root from recovery.zip. restarted and it finished install and I was good to go.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] os2baba:
Not for me. The GPS lock in on this phone is simply amazing. It takes less than 2 seconds for the GPS to get locked in - inside my house!! After the Vibrant, that couldn't lock in the GPS on a clear day without a cloud in the sky, this is a welcome change. The GS3 is faster than my Garmin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Kevin K:
I finally got the OTA this morning. Looks like they did something with the Kernal- 3.0.8-1092716
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dscott5683:
They either need to remove Swype so we can install the version with audible dictation, or they need to restore it... And do something about that God awful Samsung keyboard! The Swype style word prediction is awful
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SirSparkles:
Other reasons for Status 7 error?

ugggh, tried this today (still waiting for OTA), but it failed with a 'Status 7' error on the install 'check'.

Others have mentioned this might be due to other system mods that don't match up during the install check, such as the modified Google search.

I haven't done that one.

All I've done is change a PRL and system font via an .apk install (flipfonts).

Is this enough to make it fail?

Last time around, when I did an LG2 to LG8.zip update (also performed as described above) this didn't happen.

Is there the chance the 'check' is more involved/detailed this time around?

Any ideas on what else might be causing the Status 7 error?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] galexandr:
Try a different sd card. I had the same problem. May be its a Coincidence butnit worked for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jjdevega:
Finally received this update. Here in Seattle Washington:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SirSparkles:
Status 7 code reasons?

I'll give that a go...

Nope, didn't work. Dang. I tried from internal and external .zip

Any ideas out there why I'm getting an Status 7 code?

What else would cause it?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nacron:
Supposedly the newest betas can install over carrier installed Swype. I'm having an issue where the last word swyped will double up if I hit send in instagram or other apps is I don't select the word in the suggestion box. Maybe it's because I didn't wipe the dalvik cache after replacing it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chiefplt:
Anyone else still not seeing this? It's been almost two weeks now -- shouldn't I see this? I'm still on LG8.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SonicMZ:
Could you please guide if there is any way to get s beam working on non-Sammy based ROMs. My girlfriend and I have both SGS3 phones but we absolutely hate the Samsung ROM look. So I use AOKP ROM that doesn't have any S-Beam.

Beats Audio on Windows New thing

Real Steel
[HTC One X] PhilipL:
Hi

Beats Audio is nothing more than marketing, it's just taking compressed music and applying equaliser settings to make the music 'pop'. It's little different to any other settings you get on audio devices that claim to make some improvement, which anyone really wanting good audio quality would defeat straight away.

Nice looking phones though, bet they would run Jelly Bean just great ;)

They look nice indeed but scarily similar to the Lumia 920 aesthetic..... Almost to the point of where you would wonder what would make one person go for HTC over the Lumia ?

Windows 8 phone OS is looking very sweet though...
[HTC One X] nikzDHD:
Lumia > 8X.

Lumia has the exclusive Nokia apps which are very good, including the free streaming app.

Lumia has 32GB vs 16GB of the 8X.

Lumia potentially could have the better camera with its OIS.

Lumia probably will be better supported.

Lumia possibly might edge over SLCD2.

Lumia has the bigger screen which makes a difference.

Don't get me wrong I'm a HTC fan but I don't think these will do that well, pricing and marketing will be the key!
[HTC One X] nookcoloruser:
I mean this is how scary it is

There has to have been some agreement over standarised aesthetics. If Nokia were Apple ;) lol

Good points indeed though you forgot wireless charging too ;)

I have an upgrade with my carrier and whilst I'm keeping my One X i'm seriously tempted with the Lumia 920 (or an iPhone 5 - resale value later will be a lot better),,,, But Lumia 920 is so so tempting me right now.
