I always force it by force stopping and clearing data of Google Services Framework non stop LOL. some times you get it first try sometimes you need to abuse it but eventually it will pick up the OTA. Trust me I've been doing it that way for a few years. (Note: It can mess up Google Service and cause misbehavior after updating you better perform a Factory Reset to fix misbehavior of google services.)

later guys/gals preparing for Night Shift over here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Yup :thumbup:

May not flash though
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Aww man. I've done that thing about 30 times now. No luck :(.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TrueRain:
I tried the Google Services Framework trick last time and it screwed up Play Store for me. Obviously, it may work differently for other people. Just a heads up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Omar04:
This^^^

You need to be full stock for it to flash and also the update.zip goes on External SD it won't work in Internal Memory from experience. But sometimes it does.

That's why I put the "Note" about it in the post. Factory Reset after updating is the fix. (Highlighted in red for everyone to notice the note)

Since my OTA updated failed earlier, I renamed it to update.zip, moved it over to external sd, flashed it with CWM, then recovered root with voodoo and everything is working perfectly, woot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ripley6:
don't sniffle to much...looking around. I do see multi window and page buddy under display. Now I need to figure out how the heck it works. Tried it on a note 2 but that was a bit back.

Paper artist is here.

Rebooting a few times. Just seems to help after an update.

Multi window is in toggle notification bar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Thank you!

If I factory reset my MB1, will it find the update?

Multiwindow is pretty neat, just hold the back button and it pops up to your left, wish the updates came with notifications letting you know about the actual updates and how to use them instead of having to Google them lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ripley6:

Help!! I can't download apps from the Play Store anymore!!! I'm getting "Error retrieving information from server.[RPC:S-5:AEC-0]". I tried clearing data on my play store and force stopping, and clearing my google framework services and all, and rebooted, and nothing is working. Someone please help. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TrueRain:
You didn't see mine and Omar's post huh? lol

When this happened to me, I had to delete my Google account and add it back. It worked again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
You gotta factory reset. If you look a few post back, it is said. I will include that in OP
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
No no no no...you gotta be kidding me. I can't lose everything... I have avoided rooting and all these things just so I didn't have to deal with this crap. There's no other way around? :'(

MD4 is AWSOME!!!

I've been running it all day and nothing but smooth. Every feature works mms, sms, calls, vmail, the works. The MW is flawless and all smart feature are as advertised. Oh BTW battery life seems okay, but I've been in and out on and off charger.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Costas86:
Maybe try updating your play store to the newest one? http://goo.gl/ZUkM5 It's what I use on mine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
I've tried everything. Right now I'm removing and adding back my google account. I was looking at some other forums, that seemed to work for some..please work...

EDIT: Oh my god, it worked!!!!! I am incredibly relieved...sorry for freaking out earlier...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TrueRain:
Glad it worked out for you :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
So I did the Google framework trick, but if my play store is working fine, does this mean I don't have to factory reset?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKenRob:

Agreed, as in two!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Thank you both. So you both liking the update?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKenRob:
Location of download threads

You can go to SEXTAPES thread on the XDA site and get it, be sure to download the correct one. There are 4 and an additional kernel and modem download.

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:09 PM ----------

My initial reaction was like wait, I don't even like touchwiz! Then after reading and debating about the value of leaving my customs behind I came to the realization that I love custom so much not only due to the freedom of access, but in greater part due to the upper level features that are denied us here in the states. After spending the last 11 hours with it I have "customed" touch out as visually as possible. So yes I do like the update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
So far so good. Multi-window works surprisingly well. Page buddy is nice and performance overall seems a bit smoother, although that could just be the placebo effect of installing a new update. Looking forward to seeing how my battery life will perform.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] babyschmoof:
Simple fix. Remove your Google Accounts and readd them. No need to blow everything away.

I like how the lock screen is 100% better now!

Sent From A Hue'd Cyanogenmod10 Galaxy S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
What's changed about it? Also, has anyone ever gotten the Facebook ticker to work on the lockscreen? It always just gives me "No data to display".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
The ripple effect use to have a faded look on darker wallpapers on the lock screen. It looks like a mist over it. Now it is crisp and clear, like on the home screen. You could notice it on black wallapapers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKenRob:
Page Buddy

You can access Page Buddy in the SETTINGS, DISPLAY turn, or slide ot on and bingo. (do you really want all of that clutter on your screen?)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
Wow you're completely right. It looks a lot better! Btw I figured out how to get the Facebook ticker working. Kinda lame though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
How so?

------------------------

Sprint Galaxy S3 :trooper:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TrueRain:
Glad they kept that ripple effect fix from MC3. Was worried they would revert back. Still weird that it was like that to begin with.

Still waiting on the OTA. I tried the Google Services Framework trick but it didn't work, just like last time. :(

Though it didn't mess with Play Store though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
First, go into Settings > Lock Screen > Lock Screen Options > Information Ticker > Facebook. Then, you have to log out of your facebook account and turn off your screen. When you're on your lockscreen, pull up the ticker and it'll ask you to sign into an account. By doing so, you're able to sign in to your account and turn on the permissions necessary for the ticker to work. Then voila, you're good to go. The only annoyance this process causes is that you have to resync your facebook contacts afterward (assuming you did so before). No big deal, but just a heads-up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
So what are the "bulk sms improvements"? Also - does md4 have customizable notification toggles like the international gs3 premium suite?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
I think it had to do with, you couldnt send an SMS to more than [Insert number i dont remember here] people on the stock messaging app
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKenRob:
Differences in both vers.

I can say after (rounding up) 12 solid hours on MD4 appox. 3 hrs on MC3, there is an uptick in performance. I have to admit I also went with the trick kernel and modem. I did note earlier that the battery was okay, but I've been home the last hour and a half phone on the charger and just got to 90%! a bit unusual I would think. A few different possibilities calibration, a little colder than usual in my area, possibly needing to do a few tweaks, but basically 90 minutes to charge to 90% when it started at 60%. There "may" be an issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Omar04:
Yes removing and re adding Google account works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
I did the google framework update trick and my play store still works?

------------------------

Sprint Galaxy S3 :trooper:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phyba:
Did the "bulk SMS improvements" add support for group texting?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TrueRain:
It's different for everyone. Mines still works from doing it earlier (though I didn't get the OTA)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] babyschmoof:
It works, but you can't download. Just remove and readd the accounts to fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Good. Now people don't have to factory reset.

------------------------

Sprint Galaxy S3 :trooper:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
Awesome fix I just discovered. Some apps before installing this update would have the graphics glitch out and kinda duplicate (ex. Dead Trigger), but now that seems to be gone. Before you had to go into developer options and Force GPU rendering, but that isn't necessary anymore. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
Noticed that too! So much better!

i apologize for the lnog post just seem alien to me now lol the lte does it differently
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] darknatas:
does any1 know how to get multiwindow to work with all apps on md4? btw this room is working great so far for me,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
So one thing I notice on MD4 is the RAM runs way lower. About 200mb.

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:25 PM ----------

Just watch qbking77's video on how to update to mc3 but use the new md4 files. Your statement is correct though.

Not all apps are supported for multi view, you can get more options from a ROM that supports more apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2249386

Should be very similar, if not identical on MD4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
Really? The lowest I got was 450mb.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
I meant 200mb less than it normally ran. Lol, I don't think the phone would even work if it was that low. Not very well anyway. My average now is around 700mb compared to what it used to be in the 900mb range or above. This is with the stock launcher. My guess is the kernel has been optimized and updated since now we can multi task with apps, they optimized it a little more. The kernel says April 15th even though the ROM is from April 4th?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] || Acer ||:
Ohh gotcha. Yeah my average right now is about 815MB w/ stock launcher. That does seem a bit lower than usual for me actually, so I think you may be right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKenRob:
Losing Apps and data

I tried for the first time today, super backup and it worked after I did this. I did use the "rooted no data" load, but I usually lose everything on cache, davlik, and factory. With that app I just reinstalled it and went into archive and reloaded my apps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] saiyen2012:
once your rooted go to the play store and dwnload multi-window, you will then be able to use multi-view with everything.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clamknuckle:
I'm totally stock, unrooted.

I updated to MD4 from the link, renamed to update.zip and flashed via recovery.

Everything seems to work fine except for the swipe to the right on a contact to make a call. Swipe to the left and message works fine, but to get it to make a call, I have to start about halfway, then swipe, then swipe again from the far left to the right.

Anyone else have this, or know how to fix it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dodgepot:
Hello Mr Knuckle. Did you lose data when flashing through recovery? Just thought I'd check before ballsing with my semi work phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clamknuckle:
Nope, i didn't lose anything!

Make sure you do it from an SD card though. It didn't work on the internal storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] broncop3t3:

I installed the downloaded zip (thanks QBKing77) and with CWM kept root!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stevetrooper:
I have the same problem, this was in MC3 as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dodgepot:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Slomodrop:
You should try a themable custom TW rom like MOAR 3.0. We've had page buddy and multi window and unlocked options like group messaging in MMS for quite a while now, plus cool features lifted from HTC and Sony etc, and with the built in morphology engine you can customize the entire visual experience. Plus tons of useful mods. Fewer bugs than Sprint's own version. Not to mention custom kernels with over clocking...

Then use the launcher of your choice. I love Nova Prime and I don't even have the TW launcher installed on my phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] titans1187:
So far so good with the update for me using the download link on the first page. I was having battery drain issues along with the battery taking a real long time to charge. Thankfully a fresh battery seems to have solved my issues so I am very happy at this point.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dirkdigles:
I haven't updated to MD4 yet, but I think they left a few premium suite features out of this release. Namely disabling the brightness slider and customizable notification toggles.

Please correct me if I'm wrong (I hope I am!)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Whiplashh:
I haven't found those options.. sadly. But in its defense, I haven't dug around much. Its been a day and I just figured out how page buddy works.

If not, it should be up within a day or two.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Omar04:
Edited. Sorry my bad.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] archtech3d:
Was experiencing this as well... but then I noticed that the contacts' pictures are now buttons of their own that pop open an info box. Since the image is a button now, the swiping isn't working on just that part. I think this is annoying, but I'm training myself to start swiping to the right of the contact picture and it works every time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TrueRain:
It was one of the features added in the premium suite update for the international GS3 in 4.1.2.

However, I readily admit that I am no expert, especially when it comes to ADB, so a bit of help and direction would be greatly appreciated.
