I received 4.3 OTA, and I can say I have the same problems (I`m in Lithuania).

Wake screen is laggy.

Apps become laggy... They never were laggy on 4.1.2.
[Galaxy S III General] Lci:
Hi just wanted to share my eperience with the new BTU ota.After installing it and doing a factory reset(and a wipe cache) it was running fine.The problems started to appear after adding the google account and then downloading the usual updates from playstore.Sometimes the lag was quite annoying also after ending a call there was a black screen for a couple of seconds.I have tried almost every fix from this thread and non of them worked so i uninstalled every update from playstore and disabled the apps (ChatOn,Chrome,Flipboard,Google Books,Google Play Music,Google search,Google+,Hangouts and Samsung Link) since then phone is running great and scored 19003 in antutu.My guess is that one or more of those updates from playstore are causing the wakup/call lag.While not everybody can live without those apps it is ok for me , overall the phone feels much smoother and faster.
[Galaxy S III General] topnoch:
I did as you say, moreover, disabled GameHub, GroupPlay, S Voice. Antutu score after this - 19055. Unfortunately, wakeup and apps lag still remain.
[Galaxy S III General] wickedmx:
I was having the same issue. Unlock lagged terribly, and often the screen would flicker a few times while unlocking as well. I even one time where I had to reboot the phone to get the screen running again.

However, since I changed my screen timeout to higher than 30sec(1 or 2 minutes) I have not had the problem at all, and it's now been a couple of days. It's still a bit slower than it was on previous rom (4.1.2), but faster and much smoother than it was when set to the 30 sec timeout.
[Galaxy S III General] Lci:
Well time to go back to 4.1.2 BTU :) at least with that i dont fall asleep until the phone wakes up :)
[Galaxy S III General] eugenedfourie:
Worked for me

Thnx for the advice. Changed screen timeout to 1 minute, and although there is still a slight lag, it is much more responsive than previously.

Hi guys. Has anyone tried the Chinese one?
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:
Yeah, and I also saw that were some countries that got updated to 4.1.2 just 13 days ago!
[Galaxy S III General] karcio:
I just install new build for BTU (UK) and AnTuTu told me 18k on 4.1.2 I had 17k, But this is what I get after 10 minutes after update. So this is not important. I've heard lot of bad things about 4.3 from Samsung :(
[Galaxy S III General] Bryan_B:
So far nothing bad with Omega 51 + yanks kernel. The room feels a loot smoother than 4.1.2. Greenefield/freezed many apps and the batery is nothing that bad at all.

That's exactly why you shouldn't post in dev thread. Questions go to Q&A thread or discussion thread (in General section) of the ROM, not in dev thread.

Dev thread is meant to help the development of the ROM (bugs reports with logcat mainly).

1st July!
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
At the time of writing that post, there was no 4.3 for the i9300... Try checking the dates of the posts you quote, why don't you? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] shabtab:
i did i never found anything with searching 1st july in google :silly:

---------- Post added at 08:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

ohhh m sorry but really i did found one 4.3 that time posted by codeworkx and named as cyanogenmod 10.2 really it was available for download also me not lien ...
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Exactly, there were no ports of 4.3 to the i9300 on July 1st, when [MENTION=3655508]Theshawty[/MENTION]

The first i9300 build was July 27th, (CM10.2) nearly an entire month later, by Xplodwild

The first i9300 booting work was July 26th (also by Xplodwild)

The AOSP sources were first release July 24th

The first 4.3 Leak for the Galaxy S4 GE was 28th June (hence this thread) - and this was not ported or portable to the i9300

So when you quote a 1 month old post saying that there were no 4.3 leaks / ports for the i9300 (which was completely true), please becarefull not to insinuate the poster was wrong by using phrases such as "try googling it". You've only made yourself look foolish.

my mistake.... i just said what i saw,,,, but right now i'm in a search for elegant theme for gs3 im using xxemg5 firmware can you please me out suggesting anything,, 'ive tried chaoshd and purelook all full of tweaks,, i just want a stock rom with elegant theme which is by thilinac any idea...:confused:

and this is the post i was talking about http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2382573

and i posted about the 4.3 yesterday which means 30 july i think there is some misunderstandings going on anyways m really sorry..
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Yes you posted 30th July about port on 28th of July, but quoted a post on 1st July, essentially indicating the poster was incorrect. Our point is at the time he posted that, he was correct.

I’m sorry you are having issues with your device after upgrading the firmware. I can understand your frustration about this as updating your device should be an easy process.*

Old systems settings can be left on the phone after an update occurs, which is why we usually recommend a full factory reset after updating. If this isn’t done your device may begin to give false readings from system resources, or experience technical problems, which may explain the issue you are having.*

We would advise on doing the following, which is designed to reset the settings on your device. Please back up your device using Samsung KIES before you do this.*

1) Remove the battery for at least 40 minutes, put the battery back in and allow it to fully discharge. Afterwards, perform a full battery charge with the device turned off. Do not interrupt the charging process.*

2) After the battery is fully charged, we would like you to perform a full factory reset, which can be done Settings > Backup > Reset.*

This process will reset your device, remove old system files that are no longer needed and enable your device to operate normally again.*

You have to remove sboot.bin from the firmware (or just flash with Heimdall and not include sboot).
[Galaxy S III General] Falster:
Actually you don´t need the chinese firmware, you just need the chinese kernel. And that is available here (green box - flash with odin): http://samsung-updates.com/details/15803/Galaxy_S_3_International/GT-I9300/CHN/I9300ZCUBMK2.html

Just flash any 4.3 (e.g. BTU) and after that this chinese kernel and all problems should be fixed :)

Let us know if it works ;)

In other news here are 4 simple steps to improve android 4.3 performance :

5.(bonus) enjoy your phone.

Hi Guys

After one day on BTU (UK) 4.3 I can say, no reboots, all I can see is 1 sec wake up lag. Yesterday I was recording some video, no problem with that. All stock, no root. Someone said about some light issue, to be honest I do not know that issue.
[Galaxy S III General] KillerbeeNL:
testing the Chinese kernel flashed with OdinLite and and data is preserved ?

Let's test this for a couple of days ?
[Galaxy S III General] karcio:
What about knox is it exist in that build (4.3 BTU) ?
[Galaxy S III General] Soryuu:
The light issue probably refers to the light-effect not being functional - selecting it in Lock Screen settings comes up with the same pattern as the one for None (the circle lock)
[Galaxy S III General] karcio:
Do you mean Unlock effect? If yes, there are only two options: None, Ripple effect
[Galaxy S III General] jgmccabe:
I agree it needs complaints to Samsung to try to get this improved. I've already emailed them through their UK Support site and would encourage everyone who's seeing these issues to do the same.

As far as the wake-up lag is concerned, I thought this appeared to be related to notifications; I use Aqua-Mail and when it's flashing the LED I've often found that I press the power button, wait for a few seconds, the screen lights up then goes straight off not giving me a chance to slide down the notification bar. I switched the LED Notification option off in the phone settings and I got the impression that improved things a bit, except there were no LED notifications any more!

As an aside, I've had a quick look at the "Wake My Android" app and would appreciate anyone who's used it to let me know a bit more about whether it does improve the wake-up lag, whether it's been sustained, and what settings they've used.

Many thanks

John

As far as i know it has the same build number but if you flash the kernel over any 4.3 firmware it seems to solve the lag issue.

4.2 BTU Stock - Just Installed

Just for info... I wanted to flash 4.3 BTU over my 4.1.2 ITV MG4, but i was afraid by the large number of problems this BTU rom seems to cause.

Well... I've just flashed it with Odin... NO PROBLEM AT ALL.

Screen lag not present, free memory about 662MB... , graphics seems to be more slow but is going better using it .

App seems to run well.

Only one note... regarding old notifications that appear on the top bar, after falshing. Download notification.

Problem resolved by Manage application -> All -> Download manager -> Clear cache, Clear data, Stop process -> Reboot tel.

Everything seems to be OK now.... I think I've been lucky :o

My google play store has stopped working i get no connection message.

Tried all the tricks and nothing works so hard reset is my only option but i cannot backup anything because for that i need to install the backup apps from play store.

I have connected it to my computer and installed and it says will be installed soon but nothing comes up on my phone it just isnt connection to google play store.

anyone have any advice/tips?

Tried al the google play cear cache/data, changing google account aswell but nothing seems to work.
