Hello.

I have multiple widgets ON with the Dashclock widget. When i receive a message or call, in the lockscreen i have 2 pages : The dashclock widget page which i like and the other page which shows me that i have a missed call or message.

Can i set the dashclock widget page as standard so when i hit power i see first the dashclock widget page?
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
Thats not possible. Unless you rewrite some codes in the firmware. ;)

Please review it. Any improvements than MK2.

What is the kernel version/date?? is it pda??
[Galaxy S III General] Aditya Keri:
I'm sure many of you are already on 4.3. I'm just one of those curious users who just want to know whether or not to make a shift from 4.1.2 which is pretty solid and stable.

Is 4.3 (the currently available best stable version of 4.3) definitely better than 4.1.2 ?

I haven't rooted my phone yet. So depending on the answer, I'll decide whether to root and remove the bloatware or wait for 4.3 OTA.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Games got 50% boost in performance,same with real life performance. In some moments,using some graphical Live Wallpapers were making S3 lag,now most of them don't do that.

But other than that,you may dislike some things.
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
I'm on ML2 and I'm loving it. Battery, performance and stability all have improved. Free ram is around 350+ earlier it was 200+.

Just go for it.
[Galaxy S III General] gabrymr:
I was surprised by the 4.3 actually, the battery life is stellar, I think it's faster than 4.1.2, plus the big thing you can disable every samsungs bloatware in app's manager, you won't need to root if it's all you want to do. The only thing I hate about stock is the sound quality and volume... everything else suits me well.

Edit: Also I haven't seen home screen being redrawn in 4.3 which was quite common in 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III General] danierakes:
Use boeffella kernel...then tweak ur sound...
[Galaxy S III General] mertzi:
4.3 is IMO worth the update just for getting app ops. I didn't need to factory reset but I had wifi drainage which I solved by giving my phone a static ip. I'm doing a battery evaluation now by not using my phone at all and after 24h I had 77% left. Now I'm doing 24h on mobile data just to compare.
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:
In my case, I don't see a big difference between 4.1.2 and 4.3 on battery life. In some cases, it leaves me with the impression that it drains faster. Maybe it's just an impression; running MK6 BTU.

[Galaxy S III General] Smirge:
Then try and setup an exchange active sync - and watch your batteri drain almost faster than you can charge the phone...(almost :D)

Hi, do you use the Xposed framework? There is a Xposed module to accomplish what you want. I can post the detail if you use Xpossed and need further assistance.
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
Battery is definitely better on 4.3. You will notice when heavily using the phone.

I got a battery life of 48 hours with 3.5 hour screen on time and 15 min calling and wifi almost 60% of the time. Isnt that awesome.

I'm on ML2 btw.

Bettery life singinicantly improved since installing 4.4.2 GSIII

I used to be pushing >15% bettery by the end of the day with low usage now I'm getting around 20 - 30% even with slightly heavier usage
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
As I understand,you're talking about Custom 4.4.2 ROM?
[Galaxy S III General] hoggydoggy:
yeah but its happened on multiple roms which I've seen
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Well,decided to go with Custom ROM until Samsung releases it's Kit Kat.

Just can't choose which one to install. Temasek and CM is what I don't really like. Btw,I heard that OmniROM has multi-window feature,just wanna know if that ROM is worth installing. I like more close to stock ROMs,just NO Touchwiz.
[Galaxy S III General] canicula:

Hello,

First post on this forum and didn't know where to post really.

Had some problems flashing my GT-i9305 UK T-Mobile 3G and this forum has really helped me out, so thanks.

I am now successfully running cmw-Recovery-6045-i9305 with cm-11-20131224-UNOFFICIAL-i9305 and gapps-kk-20131209.

All running smoothly, no battery drainage. If anything its a lot better! I was running stock 4.1.2 is this a common performance change?
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
CM ROM's rock when it comes to performance,but not for me,it seems.

Just ended up installing stock ROM again.. Temasek CM: same speeds,don't like new look (though while holding Nexus device,it's pretty sexy for me,but not in my device). No BLUE Led.

Meh.
[Galaxy S III General] chimpi:
what is your problem?? cm seems really good, but my only problem is the battery life, i need more battery life in my device and i have it with stock rom
[Galaxy S III General] clapton86:
Go with Neat ROM 6.2. Based on stock, great battery life and performance.
[Galaxy S III General] baptiste28:
It keeps the interface Samsung ^^

AssassinGEO want a rom without TouchWizz. Try MIUI ^^
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Oh,thanks for replies,guys. Will try them out!

---------- Post added at 07:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:02 AM ----------

Re-read my post :)

Yeah,battery life also sucks. Installed it with 97%,ended up with 50 in 1 hour.
[Galaxy S III General] gxg10:
Hello. Thank you for your message but i dont use Xposed framework. I don't even know what is it. So this is the only solution? I am more like a stock kind of guy when it comes to my phone.
[Galaxy S III General] rekenaar00:
Sorry, to my knowledge, it is the only way :(

I use imperium rom v22 based on latest official 4.3.

Xposed integrated. Very stable and very close to stock.

Hello all,

Just a quick update ;). Finally, I decided to update my S3 to 4.3. I only backed up my SMS/MMS using SMS Backup+ app since Kies managed to backup it but then said when I selected the backup that it couldn't be restored!? :eek:

I finally update using Kies (v2) to 4.3 (my ROM is a romanian one, with CSC = COA). No problem while updating and for the moment, no problem using the S3. I use Nova Launcher but I looked to Touchwizz and it seems smoother, less lags in the app drawer. Battery consumption seems ok for the 6 first hours.

For the moment, I haven't done a Factory reset and I am going how it looks like without doing it. If all seems ok, I won't do it :fingers-crossed:.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Gotta agree about Nova. Touchwizz really seems to be smoother.

Btw,you're lucky that you're using and getting good results without wiping. If you will encourage issue,wipe immediately,I think doing that will make you even more happy still.
[Galaxy S III General] stephg27:
Since I have my S3 (august 2012, coming with Android 4.04), I have always updated it using Kies and I never did any factory reset after the updates. Maybe I am lucky indeed for the moment! :fingers-crossed: But as I updated it this morning, it is too early for the moment to have a good feeling ;). But sometimes I read about the 4.3 update that some people had battery draining starting on the first hours after the update and for me, it is not the case. Low and normal battery usage. I hope it will continue like this without having to factory reset and reinstall all apps!
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
Factory reset will definitely improve performance and battery life for sure.

I recommend doing a reset.
[Galaxy S III General] patriotaki:
Hello ive been searching the internet on how to upgrade the international S3 from 4.1.2 to 4.3 and ive found this thread http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1835931

I noticed some guys saying something about backing up the EFS and stuff like this, which i don't understand :S (i will appreciate it if someone can explain it to me)

Anyways im running 4.1.2 I9300XXEMG4 and JZO54K.I9300XXEMG4 and i still didnt got an update for 4.2.2 or 4.3 ;/ i bought the phone from cyprus .

How can i safely upgrade it to 4.3 ?

PS: I've rooted it in the past and flashed custom roms but now i flashed a stock rom, i just dont need root or anything i want Stock Official roms without flash counter if possible.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
As far as I know, MG4 I'd EFSv2 so you won't have problem. But just in case you get unlucky, backup your EFS (I'm sure there are threads in XDA to guide you that). If EFS messes up, your phone would be pretty unusable.

Download the files in that thread, check md5 sum (to verify you have downloaded the file correctly), and follow the indicated instructions.

Also do nandroid backup in custom recovery.

To reset flash counter, you can use Triangle Away by Chainfire.
[Galaxy S III General] patriotaki:
Why do i have to worry about the esf? Why isnt it simple as it was with older versions? :s

I dont want to mess up with that kind of things i think i will screw up :/

I just want a safe way to update it to 4.3 with stock firmware
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Then just download firmware from Sammobile and flash it through Odin. Nothing is simple and safer than that. Flash counter won't increase,everything will be stock and official.

People,don't worry about flashing ROMs. Especially official ones. Phone will never brick after installing official ROM,but if it will,there's always a way to unbrick your device (reinstalling or installing other firmware).
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
Flashing doesnt cause efs to get corrupted. It mostly happens when downgrading from 4.3 to 4.1.

Flashing customs roms is safe, they wont mess up your efs partition as they dont have baseband included.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
And this exactly.
[Galaxy S III General] whitelyon78:
Anyone know when the 4.3 jump:D
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Just search the identical question on XDA for the answer .
[Galaxy S III General] x92:
While most of the android manufacturers out there only update their flagship, I think Samsung did a good job in updating all their mid/low end devices.

But I feel that there should be priority on which device should get the update first as everyone knew samsung have more than 1 flagship and dozens of mid/low end android devices.

S3/Note2 is last year flagship and I feel that they should get update first compared to cheaper devices.

If you could spent sometime looking at those devices 4.2 update, you will realized they are very minimum update. For eg. there's no new camera feature/UI.

From the 4.2 leak, it seem that samsung is not intent to update S3 with new camera UI as well.

Customers are going to be disappoint if 4.3 update for s3/note2 doesn't get the new camera UI. Imagine we waited so long for an update but it turn out to be not much different to current one.

It will be sad to see devices not getting new features update, not because of hardware incapable, but due to manufacturer unwillingness.

[Galaxy S III General] skim0322:
That's the thing about flagships of large OEM's. Honestly, they can roll out 4.3 in just a couple of months time. They have the capital and resources to do so. While this would satisfy their current customers, it would most likely cannibalize the sales of their newer or upcoming devices. If they feel that they've sold enough S4's they'd release the 4.3 for note 2 and s3 right away.
[Galaxy S III General] chrcol:
actually I got the s3 due to the new hw capabilities of it, newer bluetooth spec etc. plus bigger screen. Nothing to do with android version.

I actually very nearly considered keeping the s2 to have GB as I think android has been regressing since ICS personally. But this S2 I got is so roughed up I wont be using it for anything other than testing stuff.

When I got my s3 the latest out there was the s4, and also the newer s3 lte model, I have only had my s3 for a short time.

However with that said I do agree with you that there should be wider accessability to android OS versions. In my view this whole system where google codes a new version, then the manufacturers have control of who gets it at their own leisure is very wrong, if you compare it to say the OEM computer market where you buy a laptop it comes preshipped with a windows OS and all the OEM bloat, you can still out of choice wipe the OS and install whatever you want on there ith drivers been publicly available to download for almost all hardware, whilst with phones its nowhere near as simple and we now have a fragmented userbase split across various android versions, with OEM's using the android version as a way to sell new phones, so yeah for sure on that issue I agree with you.

[Galaxy S III General] fstomaz:
Is there such a difference from 4.1.2 to 4.3 that the ordinary end user would feel?
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
Well you could look at the changes in Android site... But surely there are more visual changes from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 than from 4.2.2 to 4.3
[Galaxy S III General] fstomaz:
Thanks, I see what you mean but I am afraid some users, who do not have deep knowledge in the system would be "frustrated".

First time I saw the premium update from Samsung, in which they introduced the "best face" feature and etc, I thought it would be a mazing, but I did not feel any improvement in the usage, speed, neither these features were things I'd use frequently, they were kind of a showoff.

I hope there are good improvements, like google now was. (in my humble opinion ;) )
[Galaxy S III General] -A-P-M-:
I agree, CM10.2 with latest Nightly ( cm-10.2-20130830 ) works great - is stable, very smooth and battery live is great - for me better than on stock firmware. I haven't found any bug yet and everything works very fast. Also GUI is much nicer than Touchwiz. Now it will be easier to wait for next Nexus.

[Galaxy S III General] BelgianEvo:
Hello guys,

I'm from Belgium, and i just got a notification on my Galaxy S3 that there was a new firmware available (approx 450mb if i remember good).

So i download this update and the phone installs this.

But now it's stuck on the "Samsung" logo for over 45 minutes and will not reboot .....

I have tried to clear the partition cache thru the recovery screen but this did not help unfortunatly.

Is there anything i can do without losing my data on the phone? It holds some movieclips and picture from the recent birth of my son and they are very important to me.
[Galaxy S III General] Marcovanbasten:

Try flashing 4.1.2 firmware back if you don't care about EFS,otherwise,there's no other "maybe will work" solution.
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:

Hi folks,

yesterday I updated my I9300 to the latest official 4.3. Does anyone know where the legendary "Mute all sounds"-widget has moved?!

I cant find it anymore, but actually I'm using it very often and want it back! :crying:

When I manually change it to mute, sounds like whatsapp, youtube etc. still play sounds, which is very annoying -.-

I want to mute everything just by one click at my beloved widget :/ If Samsung deleted it, can someone port it from 4.1.2 please?

I also want it back,but still got used to it. Go to Settings,My Device tab,Accessibility and tick Turn Off All Sounds. This will mute everything (at least it does for me).

[Galaxy S III General] darkshaft:
So after trying MK6 and ML2 I reached a decision that all Samsung's firmware are laggy but still have a better battery consumption than custom roms, I tried multiple kernels, closed all unneeded apps except facebook and its messenger, viber, whats app, also tried to hibernate all apps except whats app and viber but still at the end of the day the phone becomes laggy. I don't know but now am on CM 11 (which is also defective compared to Samsung concerning camera which sucks and system sound much lower and less clear than Samsung's). Any help would be appreciated.

PS: I do full wipe before installing any rom or firmware.

With a custom kernel like Googymax isn't the sound the same on any rom, CM11 or stock?
[Galaxy S III General] alexferdean:
Adapt display only works in gallery, camera and 2 or 3 other stock apps.

The big difference however is the professional photo, which is a but more saturated then the old natural setting. I have 2 S3s and I tested this. On 4.1.2 I hated natural mode because the colors were dull, but on 4.3 the photo setting is the best for me.
