Well, I wasn't asking. I was commenting that now, that question will be asked, whined about, and debated. The real answer: we'll get it when we get it. I don't use stock, so it doesn't matter to me. It just tickles me that most people are insatiable.

+Cool story, bro!

+Dumb chicks, they're bummers. If you would have read the post above the one you just quoted, you would see I agree with you.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scoutingwraith:
I know this will sound stupid but are there any slowdowns to this update? Or any changes in reception for the S3? I know it is based on area location but i am curious if anyone is experiencing any issues. Also does the new update waste the battery faster?

Thanks for any feedback you guys have.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
Will need a couple days battery cycles to fully test battery, I've noticed no difference in speed but that doesn't mean much cause I rip these roms apart and remove as much as possible, abi ut 60 things from /system/app and other places. I haven't read many reports of being slow at all though. Can you describe your issues?

Pretty good so far. Updated about 6 hours ago- working great so far. New gallery I could care less about, but all the other new features make up for it. Happy so far- multi-windows is useful, and burst mode is now easier to use. Thanks Samsung/T-Mobile! Bout time though.

Quick Question

I have Tmobile- SGS3 4.1.1 is rooted, if I go to system setting about device and software update I get error message ( YOUR DEVICE HAS MODIFIED. SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE NOT AVAILABLE) how can I update my phone and keep the root or can I use Voodoo OTA RootKeeper?

My wife received the update the other day on her stock, nonrooted S3. I'm running a rooted stock rom, but every time I go to settings>about device>software update, it just says "Checking for software updates..." and never d/l's the update or says that the update is not available.

Normally I just wait for the ota, and then use OTA rootkeeper and use the OTA update (so I keep root without flashing), but I'm wondering if there is something screwed up with my phone and I'm not able to get the OTA update. Any ideas? I'm currently using 4.1.1 T999UVDLJA.

Update failed...!

Guys, I have a rooted S3 running Stock Software. Don't know why but i kind of like TW.

Anyways...I tried updating 3 times from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 and it keeps failing. I rooted via this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1771687

My baseband version is t999uvdljc. So yea, it simply keeps failing. I installed Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper prior to my attempts of updating in order to retain root after updating but I don't know. I even tried temp unrooting using the app and then tried updating...same fishizzle. Anyone know wassup? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It means that there is already rooted roms up for the update in developers section . Why should devs come up with a new way to root a new stock update everytime one comes out when there is already a proven way to odin a recovery and install what ever you want after that.

In other words

The s3 does not need a rooted rom to flash anything just a custom recovery.

Where is that file located? Can't find Dev section.. when I try to check update it just searches and does nothing
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
nor really sure this is just me or not but this update has problem. When I went to task manager, in the downloaded tab, press the menu button then select "most frequent use" (a new feature of this update), my phone now freezes everytime I go to task manager. Dont even have a chance to select another option since it just freezes :(( any help??

P/S: I figured maybe I have too many downloaded apps and the phone just froze counting how many times I use for each app. just restored my nandroid before the 4.1.2 update and the downloaded list is already laggy due to too many apps...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MIKEYSAKZ:
Go to the stock recovery volume up home and power after powering the device off and try clearing the "cache partition " and then reboot your device see what happens
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
I should have done this first ... anyway I just restored my backup and updated to 4.1.2 again. thanks anyway. :)

I noticed now when I restart or power up the phone, right after the Samsung logo disappears, it says "android is updating apps" or something like that. Before this update, I never saw that. Anyone confirms this? I got paranoid after getting the freezing problem :mad:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] MIKEYSAKZ:
Even now I will try wiping the cash in the stock recovery
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kingston73:
That happens whenever you clear cache and make changes. If you flash a new kernel or new rom you'll see it, perfectly normal and nothing to worry about.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
It appears even with a simply restart or reboot... I'm not sure if this is specific to this update or the update file I used causes this (I used a rooted image flashed via odin)

After a couple of days of using the new version im getting annoyed with it because the keyboard always shows up for up to 3 seconds later when i need to type something.

You can Odin an older version.

Right- if you can, I'd just wipe cache & dalvik cache before booting if you just flash over your current system files...

---------- Post added at 01:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

I think it's the clearing of the dalvik cache specifically that causes this- where on previous versions of Android(pre-JB maybe, can't remember...), you would just get an extended splash screen while it was rebuilding dalvik, now it has the decency to tell you that it is at least doing something... :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scoutingwraith:
You can only use ODIN for the older version or can i do recovery as well with the OTA?

I've seen this posted before but a couple things I've noticed since the update.

1.) Folders and general tw have become laggy. In those terms I mean scrolling through apps at utters more than before. When opening folders the animation is sluggish. Sometimes when hitti ng home sometimes there is redraw. My ram seems to be filling fairly quickly and phones seems to get hotter when there is significant lag. I've done factory reset after updating so don't know what the issue it

2.) Multiwjbdow is good but limited to apps that can be added. So far used it the first few days then just done use it.

I'd hate to have to root again. But I'm feeling I might just have to try something else.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Cainmadness:
Everything has been snappy as with 4.1.1 for me. And what is wrong with rooting? It's pretty simple with the Toolkit.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Its more than just about simplicity with rooting. Its the fact that I have to install custom firmware and trust that everything works . And I hate having to continuously update my ROM when there are bug fixes and such. Meaning backups . I keep important texts from work as well as other things. That also adds to the time is have to back up everything. So no yes I'm capable of rooting but for me its just become tedious. I'm mainly subscribed to these forums mainly now for advice as well as any apps reviews.

All you have to do is get the update with multi window enabled and then reroot using the latest method and then once all that jazz is done there is an app in the play store multi window manager it's free and you can then do not apply the patch and then enable all apps to the multi window bar and it works flawless

Well I guess I'm just frustrated and it sounds like its bad. I only have a couple apps I've installed and the rest are bloat. Its just the stuttering here and there but others have repotted no lag. You'd probably benefit from flashing the rooted update. You have an advantage because you can create a backup.

It sounds like a mixed bag right now. I can tell you that when I was running it the ROM was just as smooth as 4.1.1. I do know there is a ton of bloatware as well, so that can be a huge memory hog. Especially if you are already rooted with custom recovery, it's probably best to flash a pre-rooted debloated stock ROM. Jovy's is a good example: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2279790

You can always cherry-pick stock apps from the ROM if there are ones you miss.

I'm having a lot of connectivity issues. Usually I have great signal, but since flashing the 4.1.2 rooted zip I can't get calls/text unless Wi-Fi calling us on. My email keeps logging out and I am roaming...

I was on 4.1.1 rooted. Didn't do a factory rest, but I did wipe cache and D-cache then flashed 4.1.2.

I would re flash wipe all again wipe system and wise data factory reset. I would even format internal memory as even wiping doesn't remove certain files left behind by certain custom firmware. At least try that before Odin. Because it sounds like you have data issues because it's a completely different base 4.1.2

I had a few issues when I upgraded...

Well, actually, I had issues before upgrading.. my phone would say "Touchwiz stopped" or something like that..

I upgraded, did a factory reset and wiped cache...

My phone rebooted a few times, talked to a Samsung rep, and after troubleshooting, they wanted me to send my phone for a repair... which i didn't want, so I tried to figure out what the problem was, and indeed, I did... every time Kies Air tried to update, the phone rebooted, so I uninstalled update and disabled it just in case -it's not like I use it anyways-.

And it's still laggy every once in a while... but let's hope it gets fixed.

Extremely disappointed!!! So much time patiently waiting for this update and results are BAD!!!

1- Why change the gallery? Before my folders would appear as the most frequently updated, now the show only by alphabetical order.

2- Share via: before it would create a icon of the most used one next to the share via icon, and also organized the options by most frequently used, now the are sorted alphabetically and not extra icon for most used.

3- And this one makes absolutely no sense, they removed the personalized words from the Samsung keyboard, now it would not suggest any words out of the default dictionary.

These are a few that I have identified since updating only yesterday night!

I had the same problem on my GS3. My phone became really laggy and i was having performance issues with the whole phone with the 4.1.2 update. I actually flashed one of the Official roms 4.1.1 (i am unrooted and pure stock) from the Official Rom thread and performance and everything is probably 3 to 4 times better. Plus i think my phone has better reception than the 4.1.2 update. (not sure if it changes radios)

Which reminds me if i root the phone will it still try to search for the OTA update because i do not wish to update.
