-Overall, it's smooth but S3 is smooth too. No one can differentiate.

-The extra ripple effect when you release your hand while in the lockscreen is not present. This means that, that ripple effect that users have accustomed to in ICS will not be present in JB rom. Damn you Samsung!

-2GB of Ram equals extreme multitasking. No need to uninstall bloatwares.

-

Smart rotation.

a feature that can be easily enabled in S3 JB rom.

-

Quick glance.

while the phone's screen is turned off, user can put their hand in front of the top of the phone to summon notification for missed calls, and messages. I think this is useless.

-

Multi Window.

This is really a useful feature. Samfirmware tweeted that S3 will get it as well, but I'm not holding my breath. Samsung could say that S3 screen is not optimized for this feature or other ridiculous reason.

-There is no widget for "direct call, smart stay, voice cmd and S beam". this is really weird because S3 have it

So far, after trying Note 2 for a few minutes, I still love my S3. The reason is really simple, Note 2 is too large to be used as a phone. S3 is already pushing the limit, at least for me.
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
2Gb of ram is definitely equivalent to extreme multitasking. All those people who said "unused ram is wasted ram" despite my many attempts to explain how processors work, irrespective of the linux kernel, can't say anything about this now.

Anyway, multi-window is the only feature that I really want, but I doubt we'll get it.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Which is why the I9305 is perfect in my opinion.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Unused ram IS wasted ram.

Nobody said that more ram isn't better, but empty ram is useless to you.

Ram uses the same amount of power whether it is full or empty.

Having full ram means more programs loaded and ready to go, less clock cycles, more efficient system.

you could have 1TB of ram, but if there is only 600mb of stuff in it, its a waste.

So, unused ram is wasted ram.
[Galaxy S III General] Idan73:
Flipside of that is that most of us never argued that unused ram is wasted ram as to power cosumption, but that it should be our ram to waste and that i9300 is seriously lacking in multitasking department when stock, because of lack of free ram not even rivaling sgs2.

Or how easy it is to load slim rom, posting screenshots of freshly reset firmware without third party apps, or screen of ram usage before all the services are loaded, or screen of freshly cleared ram, none of which are representative of real world usage.

As I recall the original thread, that mantra has always been spoken in a way strongly hinting like we got plenty and don't need more, now just adding "we never said more is not better".

Waiting for JKay mod on GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Nobody ever said less ram is better than more, at least not that I know of.

If they did they were talking sh*t.

I'm speaking from a factual point of view, not a butthurt, trying to defend my purchase point of view.

I would love if the i9300 got 2gb of ram.
[Galaxy S III General] stfudude:
If only I9305 get as much support as I9300..
[Galaxy S III General] Idan73:
I am not targeting specifically you, as I know from your posts you're pretty even handed and factual person.

Referring to the whole discussion at the time of release of the phone when we found out nam versions are coming with 2gb of ram.

Ya we got a raw deal when it came to ram.

But that's touchwizs fault, my nexus 7 has 'only' 1gb of ram and it multitasks like a boss.

Samsung screwed the pooch when they put tw on a phone with 1gb of ram.

The S3 isn't the phone it should have been, it should have had an exynos 5 CPU and 2gb of ram.

From now on I won't buy anything Samsung because vanilla android just runs so much better than skinned versions and it isn't ugly anymore.

Plus the 4.1.1 update hasn't dropped for everyone yet and my gnex and N7 are on 4.1.2 for over a week.

With 4.2 probably being announced on the 29th I think the S3 won't ever see it.

[Galaxy S III General] IamIrene:
totally agree

me yesterday go play note 2 (officially release in my country)

everything is same, play until boring
[Galaxy S III General] disclaimernotice:
Not exactly. If you have less than 100mb of free ram, when you start an app, the processor has to close several background processes in order for the app to start and work properly. This causes a momentary lag. Similarly, if you minimise an graphics intensive game to read your messages, the game is closed to obtain more ram.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
That applies if you have too little ram, and I agree too little ram is not good.

My point is if you have ram and it isn't being used then it is wasted ram.

Ram is supposed to be utilised.
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Well Even with the Mods and tweaks available right now, It is more smooth and fluid then my BEST setup I had with the I9300. So I think about it like this. Everyone is trying to find the rom which makes there phone run beautifully. Well I already have the setup . And anything that comes now is going to be a bonus. It really has only been a few weeks since a few of the devs got there hands on the devices, and I think we are moving quite nicely. Soon we will have enough dev support to make us all happy. Soon as someone starts porting roms or Creating thats when the fun really begins. We already have 3 Roms which are Basic but its still a start :) And I can wait as the way my phone feels right now Is absolute butterness < if thats even a word :D
[Galaxy S III General] darksidefox:
Note2 jb no lag but think maybe due to 2gm ram
[Galaxy S III General] mustang2012:
If you have free ram then it will be reserved for more apps to be loaded which means more rams you have then more apps can be run smoothly so I wouldn't say its wasted ram. More rams you have then More apps can be loaded and stay on background and process smoothly by users input.
[Galaxy S III General] shahzaib.khan:
In my opinion more ram is more good for our devices because yes ram does run the applications and removes a lot of lag.....I have i9300 but I am very angry that why Samsung just releases their s3 new version and broke the trust of old s3 users.....
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Can you not read what I said?

You are basically saying what I said, more ram is better. :rolleyes:

Un-utilised ram, is wasted.

What is so hard to understand about this concept.
[Galaxy S III General] shahzaib.khan:
Yes I read it already but if there is more ram the more apps u can open at a single time example when ever u open ur dailer first time it takes 3 seconds to open which feels so much annoying at some times but if u have More ram then the dailer would be covered by extra ram until u use a lot of apps together...
[Galaxy S III General] rsndetre:
In my experience, keeping the ram free is better. Your phone/tablet is smoother and faster. And there is a logical explanation for that. The OS is loading in background data from applications. If you use one of those applications, yes, it will launch faster. But if not, room has to be made, so in fact you have to wait more then.

You don't save anything by letting the apps load to full ram. In fact, you consume more resources like this, because you can have loaded apps that you don't really need/use any time soon.

It's just a gimmick. Let's load some apps, when the phone is idle, based on what ever criteria so when the user is actually launching that app, he will have the impression that the phone is faster. But your are depending on the accuracy of that criteria.

Limiting the number of background processes works wonders for me. Maybe not so much for my S3, but for other lesser devices it's very obvious.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Nonsense.

Ask anybody that knows anything about computer systems and they will tell you it is better to have a program in ram waiting to be used.

It DOES load faster, it is the basis of all os's today.

It gives the impression that it loads faster because it does load faster.

No you don't consume more resources like that, by keeping apps open in ram you cut down on clock cycles associated with opening that app every time you want to use it, yes sometimes apps are dumped out of ram but that is because the system needs more ram for a bigger app and bumps out whatever it seems necessary because of oom settings.

Limiting background processes beyond a certain point means you are losing efficiency, battery and performance.

Fact.
[Galaxy S III General] rsndetre:
Yes man , no dispute of that. It does load faster, and is useful if you really use those apps. If not, is wasted resources on loading useless data.

For example. I just opened ATK (medium security), and I have the following apps loaded:

- ATK (obvious)

- Apex Launcher

- Browser (I just used it)

- Clock

- iTriage (I have used it once, and kept it just in case. Wasted ram/resources since I am not gonna use it in near future, I hope :) )

- Email (I didn't setup it yet, and never used in last week since I flashed a newer rom. Wasted ram/resources)

2 out of 6 are completely trash. Here you go. Great management.

I don't want my ram to be full with trash. I want my apps to launch when I want and do what I want. Nothing else. Don't tell me you didn't had any slowdown because of an app working in background when it didn't need to do it, or because your ram was full. Don't tell me that your rom isn't faster after you removed the bloatware.

For me, disabling aggressive apps and limiting the number of processes to 4 is quantifiable better. Just run a benchmark on a stock, bloated rom, with no tweaks and compare it after with a run on free ram.
[Galaxy S III General] Skander1998:
Okay, we get it.

Not everyone needs LTE eating their battery (Same capacity as i9300), and no one wants bad/low development support.

Until these two issues are solved, i'll get the Note 2 or stick to the S3.
[Galaxy S III General] naveediftikhar:
brilliantly said..besides after all this open source debacle i seriously doubt buyin any samsung device in futute unless its a nexus device..but thats a diff issue...with i9305 do u really think those micro stutters that u see in transitions or widgets would be solved?..i had the widget lag issue even with ics and even note 2 has this issue..so basically samsung can throw out million of devices all circling around their flagship device and it wont count for **** as major developers only support the international version and with s3 even that is dying as many have moved onto better supported devices..!
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
Well my battery has been exaclty the same as the I9300, I am not on the internet on my phone 24/7 , I am on the net pretty much the same ammount of time as I was with the I9300 sometimes less sometimes more, all scattered parts of the day, when I want to quickly search for something or youtube, i am bored doing some browsing, XDA... and the battery is fine. Just like my I9300. If there is a difference in battery consumption well i have not noticed any.

Also you can switch it over the 3G anytime you want, but I havent even bothered as LTE hardly consumes much extra battery at all in my case. Honestly.

I was doing some google-search and the first link i decided to click on showed this in one of the comments, similar experience to me http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27544976&postcount=2

I dont think its bad dev support at all, Dev support is growing , plenty of mods already its only been a few weeks since people started buying the device, Most things can be easily ported since most of the framework is the same so its not hard to mod your own rom, Just pick and choose what you want out of the I9300 forums and edit. Only thing missing is all the pre-created roms. But they will soon follow. And the 2Gb ram makes everything open instantly with no lag just like the note 2, Only reason I would rather this S3 is because Its not a Phablet. Its the perfect size. And yes maybe you say that you wouldnt get the I9305 now but if you had the choice from the beggining you would have chosen the I9305 over the I9300 just like most would off.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
What he was trying to say is we are sick of you going on about it constantly.

you got it, you like it, we're happy for you, the party to celebrate is on Saturday. You aren't invited.

So please, shut up about it already, every thread I see you in you are posting O/T about how great the i9305 is.

You're the best, we're the worst. You win. Happy?
[Galaxy S III General] naveediftikhar:
lolz!
[Galaxy S III General] btemtd:
LOOL ok fair enough but I was only stating it in threads that were tlking about S3's and stuff, And it is an S3 still.. I didnt realise I said it so much.. But ok then. I just make my own party then since i aint invited :D

Edit PS i wont talk about it anymore..Unless theres a question directly regarding it. Happy ? :)

And it wasnt like people were talking about a new app, and I just pop in and say YAY i9305 is MADD. relax

Edit

I am over it! but cringeworthy? pfff now you seem to be the little kid chucking a tantrum over it. I get you wish the phone never existed but when i mentioned it it was because of someones comment regarding something that lead to me mentioning it. Never brought it up for no reason
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Thank you! :thumbup:

Edit:

Yes it was exactly like that, you were like a 10 year old with a new toy.

It was cringeworthy.

You have a new phone with 2gb of ram, get over it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lotusmaster:
From all the research I've done it would seem that all the US samsung galaxy S 3's have the same hardware. Different software and drivers seem to be all that makes them.different. In other phones the thing that made it hard to stock port was that one phone had a gsm antenna and another a cdma antenna, but unless I'm mistaken. Samsung used an antenna capable of both in order to save on the cost of having to buy at least 2 different pieces of hardware. So I guess the question is, if the hardware is the same why can't we wipe say the i535, not reset fully whip and load the full t999 phone image kinda like formatting a pc and then installing a whole new operating system?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Because the hardware has been found to not be the exact same. Even the motherboards are built differently. They may have the same parts but those parts are configured differently. Base CPU firmware is also configured differently. :cool:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillGoss:
If you are updating an existing ROM, then wiping cache and Dalvik is sufficient, though I prefer to also wipe system. If you are changing ROMs, then it is good practice to wipe data, system, cache, and Dalvik (aka clean install)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
If you've got, for example, CM9, upgrading from 9.0.x -> 9.0.x, wipe cache & Dalvik cache.

If 9.0.x -> 9.1.x, it's best to wipe everything & start from scratch.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirTheElite:
If you are updating a ROM of the same version class, for eg: A nightly version from CM10, It is enough to wipe Dalvik and cache. Moreover the ROM maker also puts in whether you need to perform a full wipe or a half wipe, do take note of that.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillGoss:
Opinions differ about this.

I always restore apps and their data using TB.

TB will not back up the app of system applications, but it will let you back up their data.

I backup a number of system items using TB. Here's a screenshot:

Sorry about that :o, forgot that if your browsing in the mobile app you can't see Sigs. But anyway I've attached the link below. I would advise against doing a " Dirty Flash " it can cause phantom issues. As for restoring Apps with TB, it is a great tool if used correctly. Restoring App Data from Games should not be an issue. But at all costs avoid restoring System Apps, and Data.

Ok here's the deal:

Yesterday I flashed Wanams JB 4.0.1 successfully. I plugged my S3 to charge over night at that moment it was on. I woke up in the morning and it was "not on" anymore. It stucked at Galaxy S3 bootlogo. No recovery but Download Mode was avaiable. I flashed 1File JB (Austria) from Sammobile via Odin. That worked perfect. But it won't still boot. No recovery either. Than I flashed 3 Files ICS with PIT repartition. That went also fine. But still stuck on bootlogo. When I try to boot into Recovery the bootlogo shows up but it reboots. I also flashed CF Root but no recovery. Should I flash Siyah Kernel or something like that? Maybe also interesting: When I plug my S3 to charge it won't show the battery symbol, just the Bootlogo! And when I get to the battery symbol it won't show the green animation just a grey circle! Please help me to revive my S3! I have 1 count and Systemstatus on custom!

It may also be an issue with the stock cable.

If using another computer doesn't work, you may want to try another USB cable. I have a couple other MicroUSB cables lying around that seems to establish a better connection, but I leave important transfers (ROMs, flashing, etc) for my netbook.
