I got tired of trying to get the official update to work on Kies. Wife and I both have S3's, mine is rooted, and her's is not. Since I never got Kies to load JB correctly on either phone, I just flashed the ParanoidKANGdroid Rom onto my phone, and left her phone with ICS... :D

why not flash stock with odin

I had similar problems I jsut flashed the stock rom with odin for both mine and my wifes. was easy and I think better than kies as you only have to download the file once takes less than 10 min to flash. so once I had the file it was 20 min or less for both phones.

worked well the only thing that got changed was my playlists got deleted. music is there just not the playlist

It's all good except for the fact that touchwiz crashes whenever I exit a homescreen folder or try to move something out of one....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I have stock Telus jb updated through kies:

1) battery life is worse than ics. I use to get about 4 - 5 hours screen on time, now I get 3 - 3 1/2 hours.

2) had to download SwiftKey for a keyboard because my auto correct no longer works with the stock keyboard

3) xda app does stutter even more now

4) interface is smoother in general, but still get the odd studder or lag.

4) at first I didn't like what was changed with the network settings, but now understand it and am use to it. I still wish there was a simple toggle for LTE rather than going into network settings and changing the network type.

5) disappointed there is no screen shot option under the power menu.

6) disappointed there is no customization for the notification bar widgets/toggles.

7) camera does not have the typical jb feature of swiping the screen to go straight to the gallery.

That's really all I can think of off the top of my head.

The only thing I have to complain about is the vibrate settings for the native messaging app. Its either on its off. I don't want it to vibrate with sound on. Only in vibrate mode.... any fixes besides third party apps?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bdithug:
I have the opposite of that. Mine only vibrates when it's on vibrate. I have only sound when the phone has sound enabled. I want to have it so there are 4 settings :

Sound

Vibrate

Sound and vibrate

Mute

That would be ideal.

Pretty happy with the update overall, however I have gone back to ICS at the moment. I didn't see any of the frame drops/stutters/etc the op mentioned. Maybe slightly less battery life, but hard to say always need a few cycles to start getting good comparables...

Anyway, there are a few items I have in ICS that haven't made it's way over to JB - A nice custom touchwiz launcher, for one, and some notification mods (wifi) as well. Also I haven't been able to get an inverted Google Now working on Touchwiz on the JB release. These are all pretty minor issues, and I'm sure will be available in one form or another in the next week or so (except the TW mods, the dev has moved on to another device, so I many have to look at that on my own).

Anyway, nothing really wrong with JB update from what I saw running it for what...two days - But back on ICS for the time being.

Sorry to hear this.

I experience none of your issues. I run it rooted and debloat stuff I will not be using. There are many forum posts concerning this.

I usually format my phone, and use ODIN to flash what essentially is a GHOST of an image. I stick with Samsung stock.

Sorry to hear you installed Facebook as well. It does not play nice when I track it's actions on my phone(s).

Best of luck, just wanted to reply to tell others that it's not all bad. It can be tweaked to run nicely.

I reallly like the JB update..I am however pretty annoyed at how I need to turn on both GPS and the 'Location and Google Search' for Maps/Navigation to work as opposed to only GPS being on in ICS..it tends to drain battery since it's sending location data in the background.. Are there any workarounds for this?

Followed instructions for installing root66_BMC_I747MVLDLK4.7z and now touchwiz does fc whenever I open an app from inside a foolder.

I got a little tweaked when I noticed the calendar had deleted all the entries older than 1 month when I updated. I was able to put them back in the phone by exporting and re-importing google calendar on my desktop. Apparently this makes the desktop see them as new and send them over on the next sync. I read that deleting the calendar storage would cause it to reload a years worth of entries on the next sync. That did not work. Might be a necessary if not sufficient maneuver though. Other than that, no problems.

I've noticed a bit of keyboard lag.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Capa1970:
I am honestly disappointed with the JB update. I was looking very forward to it because on GSMarena the JB update added over an hour of screen time to the international GS3 while losing 5 minutes of talk time and half an hour of video time:

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii_jelly_bean-review-823p6.php

Alas, instead of gaining an hour of screen time, I have lost about 1/2 an hour. I have gone through three battery cycles and nothing has changed. I keep on asking myself what I have gained in exchange for that precious screen time? ICS was as smooth for butter for me with the Window animation scale, transition animation scale, and the animator duration scale set to 0.5x.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radeon_x:
This I agree with. After giving JB a week to "settle in", there's still something not quite right about it.

Yes, there is still a nice "60fps" smoothness some of the time - but the rest of the time it actually seems to stutter more frequently than did ICS. Also, to my eye, the animations at 0.5x in JB are not as smooth as the ones in ICS. Also, inexplicably, Apex stutters badly when in landscape orientation where it was perfectly smooth in ICS.

Add in the other annoyances like the home key wake with no lockscreen bug, the wacky browser zooming mechanism, haptic vibration disconnect with certain 3rd party apps, etc. and I'm happy to be back on ICS where (most) everything just works better.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] carbon12:
Eh... home wake works just fine, only stutters a little if I flick down a long page or thread.

My phone was doing the same thing! While driving home, my phone restarted itself six times - about a 30 minute drive. So when I got home, I backed up everything I could and then did a factory reset from the settings. The phone has worked great ever since! Not sure what was causing it! My wife did the upgrade the same day, and her phone has worked flawlessly! We are both stock and neither phone is rooted.

I'm loving the update, either I'm not experiencing any issues that anyone is saying or they are just small enough that it doesn't bother me, either way I'm happy. And it is running a billion times better than any of the Roms I was using that were sprint based.

I can't really compare to ICS though, I've never had it in this device, actually I haven't had ics on any of my devices since I was able to get any type of jelly bean on them. I'm all about having the newest version, if it has a few minor bugs so be it as long as they don't cripple use.

+2.

After a few days of letting the phone "settle" with the new JB direct KIES install, I have not had to reboot, or have I had any of the issues that some of you have been experiencing. Now granted all I did was root the new JB after it installed and nothing else, so that may be part of why I am not having the same problems.

I do run Google now, but have shut off several items on it, such as Traffic, Flights, Public Transit, Sports, Stocks, activity summary, Event Bookings, Bar codes & Packages. In a 24 hours period, leaving Google now as it is, and leaving Blue Tooth on, wifi off, gps off, I will end up near of 36% battery life. I did however take my battery out after a FULL charge, dropped it into a vacuum seal bag, put it in the freezer for 24 hours, THEN put it back in the phone. When I did that the phone came to life showing 75% left on the battery, and took an additional charge to get to 100%. This seems to have increased my battery life by about 15%.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ecip:
I think maybe u freezing the battery caused it to lose a 15% charge lol. The cold is no good for battery's. If you put it on a heater it'll gain a bit of a charge.

I'm hoping that when I get the JB update here on AT&T in the US that it is smooth and fluid. Not sluggish and glitchy like in your case. Although from the majority of the posts on this thread it seems like most folks are happy with the update and think its an improvement.

It is very good from a factory reset Odin flash which you'll then have to root and install a custom recovery on. In my case it sucked when i did a direct upgrade.

This is not correct. Heat is bad for li-ion batteries which is the battery type used in cell phones. Freezing temperatures aren't great for them either, however, for long term storage, putting in the refrigerator may lengthen the life. Better in the refrigerator than the freezer. High heat is one of the worst things though.

Battery life is def less and my lte download speeds are slower but uploads are faster..go figure?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jjameson:

speeds are network related, nothing to do with your phone.

freezing apps one does not use, fixes the battery drain. I'm pretty sure it's the 'samsung apps' service, or chaton - both Sammy.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thepepperman:
FWIW my Telus S3 is running just fine on JB, battery life seems about the same, no stuttering that I can see. Only thing I dislike is the lock-screen bypass with the home button - using Home Helper on Widgetlocker is annoying because the homescreen flashes very briefly first, and every restart requires you to re-set the Home Helper defaults.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nizda1:
I also used Odin to upgrade from ics to JB stock rooted and battery life is better than before. Also switching to nova or apex launcher, made the phone unequivocally faster/fluid. Especially with transitions and animations, it's a big leap from touchwiz. All though touchwiz isn't that bad on the s3, it felt very sluggish in comparison.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] speghead:
I did a wipe and install via Odin instead of an upgrade and had little issues. High media usage which I got around by stopping it with an app. Waking up my phone to my last screen and then not having the lock screen kick in until a second later was really annoying tho.

Oh and I'm pretty sure the new modem decreased my signal. As I'm typing this I have no reception don't think I've had this issue before !

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nizda1:
Yea those speeds are serious! Some modems do work better in different areas, which is why its always good to try others if your in an area where you normally get good speeds. Im averagin around 30-40 down and 10+ up, as the ul seems to fluctuate every other minute. Although now in south Florida, the LTE network is getting used a lot more than a year ago or whenever they did all the work, speeds used to be higher. Thank god for my unlimited plan, I used over a gig the first day i got the phone testing it out all over town.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] justsignbythex:
About one week since I had updated to JB from ICS on a 100% stock AT&T GS3.

My thoughts:

- Overall, JB lags more compared to ICS

- Keyboard is extremely laggy

- Keyboard "app"/notification stays open if I don't exit out of the message box

- JB Swype keyboard is worse at predicting words compared to ICS

- Battery life is worse than ICS, even with location services turned off

- Notification and charging lights are dimmer on JB

I've read that there might be a patch coming out soon, but I'm probably going to root + jump on a custom ROM such as CM nightlies or Task.

I'm not disappointed with the official jb update. It worked very well. Everything was quick battery life was the same.

However I'm just disappointed in touchwiz really. So I'm back to cm10. It's just so much cleaner. I do still have the wifi dropping issue that's been fixed in the official roms but I'm willing to deal with it. I have come to the conclusion if I will be sticking with android my next phone will be a nexus.

Also the ui I find cleaner looking. Everything seems too big in touchwiz and I really don't like the icons.

It's just personal preference. I know people who really like touchwiz.

I also want to add that Swype worked horrible with jb. It doesn't auto space when typing, only when you are texting. If you are on the web, it won't do it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KentuckyHouse:
I'll definitely admit that JB has more "choppiness" than ICS. The only fix I've found is disabling overlays in the developer options, but you have to recheck the box after every reboot because it doesn't stick.

The choppiness is very apparent when I have multiple notifications in the notification drop down. The animation when sliding it down is really slow and stutters.

Other than that, I like the update. I may try a reset or even a clean wipe and reinstall this weekend to see if it helps.
