Also wanna know. I think I will do it now myself. Stay tuned.

Some people say it has wake-up lag,while others say it doesn't. I think it's still there. They're just unlocking the phone fast after locking and don't wait some time to test.

Btw,flashing the MK6 OXA BTU (No vodafone) one.
[Galaxy S III General] white-bird:
Please do that. Waiting for your post.
[Galaxy S III General] Falster:
With the test build "Open Europe" everything is ok, no wakeup lag, no battery drain, phone is fast and smooth. Battery is awesome, I have 46% left with 1d 5h running time and almost 2h display on :D

I did one wipe before and one after flashing 4.3 and have turned wifi scanning off. Everything else is stock, no root or custom something...
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Alright,I can confirm it works.

Flashed with Odin 3.09. :)

Now,it's time for some testing of the firmware. Will post about wake-up lag if it's fixed or not soon,and other details hopefully.

---------- Post added at 03:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------

Today I got 4 hours of display on with 1 hour game playing (OTA MK6). So I think,that's not really a good result.

EDIT: DAAAAAAAAMN!!! So freaking fast and fluid!!! Animations finally don't lag,everything is smooth and fast! So enjoyable! But wake-up lag is still there guys.

Come on Samsung! ._. Just one freaking waking up went out as so big problem.
[Galaxy S III General] Falster:
Did you do a wipe after flashing? My phone turns on after 1-2 seconds every time. With wakeup-lag it took a lot longer, sometimes it did not turn on at all.

And for the battery: don´t forget to turn wifi scanning off, it helps a lot
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Ofc I did. But you are right,seems like it turns on slowly first 2-3 minutes and then it goes fast.

Just unlocked it after 5 minutes of no using and it took 1 second.
[Galaxy S III General] Pokerboy11:
There is another bug, when you open Google Chrome and a few more applications at the same time and listening the music, when it isphone locked after a few minutes the song stops for a second and maybe a less but noticeable.

Im on MK6.
[Galaxy S III General] samkent6:
I have no wakeup lag on my 4.3 anymore
[Galaxy S III General] white-bird:
Which firmware you are on?
[Galaxy S III General] samkent6:
Amazing there is no wakeup lag in the test version either :D
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
So you mean you are on BTU one and there's no lag like in the test version?

I have it still,it's nearly 1 second (mostly 2 seconds,just tried again),but it's still there. Maybe you think that that's normal,and that's why you say that? :D
[Galaxy S III General] Lammy696:
Right so this version from Sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=23211 seems to be working as well, if not better than the last patch sent out to fix the ****ty MJ9 build? Really don't want to faff about with it all again only to end up going back to 4.1.2.

It's becoming more of a "If it ain't broke..." scenario every time something crops up
[Galaxy S III General] flither:
playing with MK6 VOD for almost an hour

-battery down to 89%

-no lag on wake-up

-screens color palette improved, colors are...how to describe it....softer

-sligtly improved shutdown time

-sharing photos from gallery not hanging

-overall sleek

on the minus side - screen usage was not shown at all for first hour of use, apeeared after that. hmmm, strange. more bugs for sure to come:fingers-crossed:

worth downloading, even for 4.1.2 users like me:highfive:
[Galaxy S III General] Worlor:
Hello

Is that the new modem is better?

I'm on CM 10.2. If I flash the modem, will I have problems?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Lammy696:
May have a play. Did you encounter a boot loop and have to do a wipe or did it update fine?
[Galaxy S III General] flither:
no, just made all wipes before and no probs at all. I used Kies not Odin btw.

after more playing still no probs, battery down to 85% after 90 mins, with screen usage around 55%
[Galaxy S III General] white-bird:
Can anyone come up with the mirrors for the built of 28 Nov.

Preferably gdrive or dropbox.
[Galaxy S III General] Lammy696:
I can confirm you don't get into a boot loop going from 4.1.2 to 4.3 through Odin. I haven't wiped anything yet and shall only do so if I get issues. Best to note that I have previously updated to the crap MJ9 version.

Why? Just use this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=23211
[Galaxy S III General] frankatboy:
4 and a half hours in,

Battery down to 52% with screen on for 2 hours 20 mins
[Galaxy S III General] samkent6:
Yeah one thing I found (and you by the looks of your screenshots) is that battery life seems to have dramatically improved since 4.1. I flashed at 80% and down to 15 % I had 3hr screen on time. I used to only get 2 and a half hours from full with 4.1:P

[Galaxy S III General] rebilith:
Any word on the sd-fix on 4.3? I'm having freezing problems on 4.1.2, any chance I get some luck with this new version?
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
I am using a rom based on CM 10.2 version which has newest Android 4.3 version and noticed significantly worse multitasking on it, even if redraws are gone now to me but I have another even worse problem - that my phone lags now if I have some heavy apps opened (when on Android 4.2.2 I didn't have that lag problem with the same opened heavy apps) I had redraw issue but I could to lock these heavy apps om the memory and my phone worked like a charm and now on Android 4.3 I don't need to apps in the memory but my phone lags now and I need to completely kill these apps to make it work fast again. So I hope this problem wil lbe fixed (and as I read not only me have similar problem with performance on Android 4.3 version)

[Galaxy S III General] tmantanner4:
I'm on temasek's CM10.2 and I have been using it as a daily driver for the past 2 weeks. It has gotten a lot more stable and snappy. I recommend anyone who wants to use 4.3 to jump onto his rom and give it a go.
[Galaxy S III General] danieldp1990:
Ok so in other words, we the users of GS3 are goint to be stuck at 4.1.2? and not 4.3 ore 4.2.2? can someone explain ? :S
[Galaxy S III General] tmantanner4:
Samdung is skipping 4.2.2 for the s3 and going straight to 4.3. But knowing Samdung's timeline, we may not get an official 4.3 until the s5 is released.

Not far from September and still not a peep from Samsung.

Even the HTC one is getting leaks of official 4.3 now.

http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2013/08/25/htc-one-android-4-3-update-rom-leaked/

What the hell are Samsung playing at?!
[Galaxy S III General] UrbanDrawer:
They're waiting for us to buy more S4s. Since the specs aren't that much better (except with i9500) they use the newer OS as a bait. Oh, and because Samsung doesn't care about their customers...
[Galaxy S III General] x92:
Another possible reason could be knowing that Google will announce Android 5.0 KLP in Oct or before the year end. Samsung want to skip android 4.2 and 4.3 update altogether and provide android 5.0 update next year. Above are just my logical guess. :laugh:

What I actually hope for (and I think samsung knew and holding on purposely) is releasing kernel source for 4.2/4.3 so that developer can work on custom kernel for stock or AOSP.
[Galaxy S III General] HC4Life:
This is bad for Samsung's reputation. HTC starts rolling out 4.2.2 update for the old HTC One X.

Here the info: http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...pean-wwe-cids-includes-sense-5-and-blinkfeed/
[Galaxy S III General] Alex---1:
It's really not good enough for a company as big as themselves.

The second HTC release a phone similar the the 'One' with a removable battery, expandable memory and a slightly better camera I'll swap in a heartbeat.

I was playing on my old HTC Desire earlier - It bloody opened messaging, camera, dialer and maps faster than the S3 on stock. That says something about Samsungs shi*ty touchwiz!

Diabolical.
[Galaxy S III General] rafu997:
I just talked with Samsung's consultant on LiveChat to ask about IPv6 support and he said that probably IPv6 is going to be supported in next 4.2 update. So I asked is it really gonna be updated to 4.2 and not directly to 4.3 and he said that first it's gonna be 4.2 (MAYBE somewhere in the end of september).

I thought, it was confirmed that i9300 is going directly to 4.3...

To me all 4.3 versions including S4 , S3 have wifi issues such as poor connection and sign-in required messages , this is very annoying to me .

I already did every tip and trick to avoid that but it keeps coming back so I went back to 4.1.2 version more stable and 0 bugs .

Hi,

I have a simple question, how to delete any system app in 4.3 like in 4.1.2 have use to be easy with ES file explorer?

When i install ES and try root option it says it could not be done?

So i can't edit anything...
[Galaxy S III General] Faber-92:
Are you sure you successfully rooted your phone after upgrading to 4.3?

Now this is also strange...I have tried a JustArchi_I9300XXUGMK6, and since it is suppose to be rooted i still cannot delete any app in system/app folder...

Already flashed the latest BTU.

Liking it so far, but I want Helvetica back!!!
[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
I have a question...

I'm in NZ with an international S3 (obviously) with a NZ CSC.

I'm about to head overseas for a month.

In the instance that the official rollout begins while I'm overseas, and the NZ version is released, would I still be able to receive it via OTA (I don't think I'll have access to Kies) despite not being in NZ?

if not, I might just flash MK6 before I leave, then maybe reflash the NZ version.

Sorry if its a question that's alreay been asked - I've never had a device that's received an OTA before. :P
[Galaxy S III General] hmbarbosa:
Doenst matter were you are mate if the update NZ ota is availeble you should update here in nz or uk usa...... im from nz as well and I have already flashed Btu ages ago :) because NZ not receive update as faster than BTU. And BTU work very well here in new Zealand. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
So it wouldn't matter if I'm overseas, as long as I'm on wifi I could get the NZ OTA?

Might just flash the BTU version of MK6 and be done with it for now... Lolololol
[Galaxy S III General] hmbarbosa:
Yep. If you flash the btu dont forget to change the csc too

Been using the latest update for over 12 hours now and it's going really well. Still a few minor hiccups with the lock screen but it's vastly better than it was. Battery life is as good if not better than 4.2.1, but I'm a super heavy user so I suppose 7-8 hours battery life with the screen being on for a lot of that time is pretty damn good. Not tried having music over Bluetooth yet but fingers crossed it's good news on that front and the skipping has gone

[Galaxy S III General] white-bird:
Installed MK6 BTU, but there are still some problems. Lockscreen lag seems to be fixed mostly, but sometimes it is there while unlocking. Lag in gallery app is still there and the animations in gallery are little jerky in power saving mode.

I guess I would move back to Wanamlite 4.2.2 for now. God bless Samsung. :rolleyes:

[Galaxy S III General] flither:
on the other hand - does anyone knows what happened to installing custom fonts from .apk? I can install them but in the font selection menu it says "font not supported".

Is there any other way to install custom fonts on 4.3 for non-rooters?

Why? BTU is not for United Kingdom? For branded phones ? I didn t receive 4.3 from OTA.

I have csc COA and from reading sammobile is Romanian network but unbranded . Where should my update come from ?
[Galaxy S III General] Falster:
BTU is unbranded for United Kingdom, so you can flash that. Or you can wait until there is a firmware for COA available via Kies or OTA. So what´s your problem? You asked for an unbranded firmware and BTU is unbranded firmware...

Anyone else had the issue of the phone randomly restarting and getting stuck on the "GT-I9300" screen and bootlooping? Able to bypass this by entering recovery and rebooting from there but this is the second time its happened now just wondering if anyone else had experienced the same issue?
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
I've found that the lag in the gallery app is wifi related. Disable wifi and open gallery, see if it lags then.

I have an issue myself, but I'm not sure if it's related to mk6 or not, since it's something I don't do very often. I have an issue with voice search when using it to call one of my contacts. Voice search works fine on everything except when I say "call xxxxx". If recognizes the name, then freezes. Then I get a message that google play services has stopped. I click ok, then it calls the contact. Weird. I can ask it all sorts of stuff and it works fine. Anyone else seen this?
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:

Hello. I have an unbranded s3 on csc COA. I see a lot got the update, not me. I am thinking of flashing the BTU firmware with ODIN. What s the difference between waiting the update OTA for my csc zone and flashing the BTU firmware ? Are there any risks? I dont want root. Only firmware. Is it difficult? Where can i find a tutorial, i am a big noob. Thanks,l in advance.
[Galaxy S III General] Imuo9:
I have the same problem as the above poster. Should I wait for the ota update to my area or should I flash the uk version through Odin?
[Galaxy S III General] KGB1021:
Still waiting

I think if you want to update or flash the BTU version you have to change csc! For that you have to root the phone than change the csc code or region (app available on play store) and after that you will be available to update or flash BTU. Or you can wait for official update for your csc. If iam right.

I have to join you people because i cant wait until update comes out.

I am a little disapointed in samsung and their updating sistem.

Possible to get the camera widget?
[Galaxy S III General] Lammy696:
Yeah I noticed with just the mobile data on it barely even lowers. WiFi on it still drops 25% over 9 hours idle (tested whilst sleeping). Is everyone who had excellent battery life running totally stock then? As in touchwiz etc. Personally I'm using ADW launcher and 2 UCCW widgets on my home screen to get around my phone and I'm just wondering if that's eating into battery life a little. Should also note that I've had this phone since day one of release so the battery is getting on a bit. Think these factors plus the fact I pretty much use my phone as a PC could just be considered pretty normal/good for me.

I've included a few screenshots of usage down to 26% (including one of the front page just because it looks awesome)

Finally, is it just me or has the issue of 'x number of things in the clipboard causes the phone to restart' vanished?
[Galaxy S III General] jacowannabe:
For me is quite the opposite - wifi uses less juice than mobile network does. But the 4.3 MK6 (open Europe variant) is way better than 4.1.2 ever was.
