[Galaxy S III General] fema90:
Its nice, but until then they just leave us struggle...?
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:
They are supposedly working on a fix for the official 4.3.
[Galaxy S III General] fema90:
Supposedly?
[Galaxy S III General] jgmccabe:
It's not safe to assume the developers had any choice over when this version was released.

Look at Ariane 5; the first launch exploded destroying over $300m worth of satellite. The majority blamed the developers for reusing code that (in hindsight and, if it had been tested) shouldn't have been reused, some even (bizarrely) blamed them for using Ada but, when you read through the full report on the failure it turns out it was a management decision not to test the IRS functionality (where the code had been reused) because it had been proven on Ariane 4. The fact is that, had management not decided to avoid testing that functionality fully, it would've been found to have been a faulty decision to reuse Ariane 4 code BEFORE launch!

So - I'm not saying it's not the developers' fault, but we can't be sure about the decision making process and, in particular, firing the lot of them isn't going to help them get an improved version out any quicker!

I'm not surprised really - I only recently got my S3 and chose that based on what appeared to be relatively minimal differences in the S4 but with a significant jump in cost.
[Galaxy S III General] ApresVu:
The problem is that everything is like made in china $hit
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:
Yeah, they also said they work on 4.2.2 and they ditched it for the 4.3, which can also be ditched for the 4.4 and so on....

Like any new phone... That's exactly why they want to release the S5 quicker than usual. Though, this time I'm expecting the S5 to be much more different.
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
I'd get an S4 today if I could. The IR Blaster and Ambient Temp Sensor are a huge plus for me.
[Galaxy S III General] saulee.:
The plus is its snapdragon processor that the developers can work with it because they have the drivers...... of course 2gb ram and screen xD.
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:
The only bit of problem I have with S III is that it has only 1 GB of RAM, otherwise it's the perfect phone for me. Since KitKat is said to have a very good RAM management, I hope i will cope better with this when it's released.
[Galaxy S III General] saulee.:
I think that s3 will fly with 4.4. Truth be told that I don't have 400 apps open simultaneously so 1gb of ram it's more than enough for me, at least for the moment.
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:
I also don't have many apps open simultaneously, at most 3 (Tapatalk, browser and SofaScore for example), but if I switch between the apps they keep reloading. Maybe 1 GB of RAM would be decent with a good RAM management, which Android is known not to have, at least until 4.4.
[Galaxy S III General] saulee.:
Let's see what android 4.4 can do with our phones. I believe that with 4.4 our phone will be a beast. It is already a beast but It needs to be smoother.

Let's see how it moves gta San Andreas next month :)
[Galaxy S III General] donalgodon:
What are the problems with the 4.3 release?
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
Battery life ranges from bad to terrible. Wake up lags. This is with the stock Samsung 4.3 release. I'm running Archidroid with Yank555's kernel and it's smooth and has good battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] popoyaya:
Why wait? There are several AOSP kitkat roms available now.
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
He isn't referring to the availability of KitKat when the talks about "next month", he's referring to San Andreas which will be released in December.

He knows that there are several KitKat roms available now, that's why he says "it is already a beast".
[Galaxy S III General] ajay.d96:
but that doesn't have support for 4.3
[Galaxy S III General] castortray:
unfortunatelly we need to wait for next year :(
[Galaxy S III General] s14sh3r:
Fortunately, next year isn't far away :)
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:
I would try one but they don't seem stable enough. I mean there can be idiot bugs which you don't see in a official ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Another week nearly gone and still no fix from Samsung
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
No idiot bugs in official releases then ??????.

Fact is many of the custom roms are stable but suffer from unstable users who don't have a clue .
[Galaxy S III General] youssefhf:
Any idea about when is the update coimng fully stable and fixed ?
[Galaxy S III General] lettu74:
In your next life, I think.
[Galaxy S III General] got-petrol:
Ive had enough of this lag cant wait for 4.4 from cyamogenmod
[Galaxy S III General] Imuo9:
Disappointing

Oy. I'm so tired of waiting. I really want stable 4.3 for the international s3 before the end of December, but knowing Samsung, that's a pipe dream :(

Was hoping to get a galaxy gear before the end of Dec but now there's no point. Don't want to have to stare at my new smartwatch without being able to use it. Samsung has really let us down.
[Galaxy S III General] alexmihai92:
I didn't said that official ROMs don't have bugs, but when you install a custom ROM you also take a risk installing it, because the warranty is voided , so, if I take this risk, I want to take it for something fully stable if possible. If not, I stick to stock (even if this is not an ideal option either).

[Galaxy S III General] wickedmx:
I've got temasek's Android 4.4 V10 installed(still running on Dalvik not ART) and it has been the most stable release I've installed for ages, including having tried 4.2.2 leak builds. Camera is working fine for me and battery life is great so far. Plus the fact it is so much faster and smoother from an operational stand point.
[Galaxy S III General] LordBass:
Here's a nice rumour:

It seems like the Brazilian version of GS3 4.3 update is scheduled to December 11 (for the unlocked version, carriers to follow). So it shouldn't be long until other international updates start popping.

I've been following the blog for some time now and I don't remember them posting any false info. They claim the information comes from Samsung Brazil. We shall see about that.

[Galaxy S III General] hvlav79:
I agree, if you want a fully functional system stay away from 4.4 for now. I think 4.3 is also a safe choice since it's mature enough and there are many stable release out now.
[Galaxy S III General] phoberus:
Use Archidroid Rom:

The next stable Version is Omni Rom (4.4) based

Very smooth with 3 or 4 perfect boeffla kernel presets

I could use my i900 for 2 days without charge and lags
[Galaxy S III General] arghness:
Does it do MHL? That's one of my requirements and I'm not sure if there are any ROMs not based on Samsung stock that have the feature (including this one). I use my phone with the Samsung Smartdock to run XBMC.
[Galaxy S III General] saulee.:
Aosp roms don't support mhl.

Sorry for my english
[Galaxy S III General] sanefirst:
And it's a shame...

Also Bluetooth on AOSP ROMs is very unstable...

CM10.2 back to stock 4.3 (when fixed)

Hi

early adopter of the 4.3 OTA last month, so frustrated with the phone so went CM10.2, phone now stable but I cant use it with my Sony car head set any more (DriveLink), so I have to revert back to stock when its released and fixed.

Question is, how do I do this?

Installing CM10.2 was a piece of cake, but I guess reverting to stock will need more magic to happen?

I was familiar with LG Optimus flashing, but havent played with the S3

Thanks

Steve
[Galaxy S III General] d1rekt0r:
S3 i9300 is easiest device for flashing / rooting / everything i ever came across, well its basicly the same for almost all Samsung phones (i once owned a HTC device , in order to unlock bootloader you had to literally hotwire it ffs :D, and now i see its all the same for newer HTC devices).

You just need to download Odin >connect phone via usb to PC>Chose firmware you want to flash under "PDA" section and click start, there is alot guides on this around the forums.
[Galaxy S III General] Robin2:
Backup first.

Download the stock rom you want from XDA.

Download and install Samsung drivers if you haven't already.

Download Odin and open it.

Put your phone in download mode and connect it to pc.

Select the correct file(s) and press start.

After it's done: boot in recovery and factory reset.

Reboot and profit! :)

[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
Well, 4.3 was originally planned for December so it's ok as long as they bring it by this year.

Samsung really hurried up too much bringing this early November, that was not a smart decision.

And we know that Samsung is in another test phase, there's a new build going through testing according to faryaab few days ago.

Surfing from Tapatalk in I9300.
[Galaxy S III General] tomashaker4e:
Anyone know when can we get a leak for the new build I9300XXUGMK6 that Samsung is testing now? This information is from SamMobile.
[Galaxy S III General] Robin2:
There is no release schedule for leaks, hence the name "leak". I also think that official update is close, so we might as well wait for that.
[Galaxy S III General] jopancy:
Not really. Time is relative. What I post now is a valid response to a question asked in the past somewhere in another earth in the Multiverse!

:D
[Galaxy S III General] revan17:
Hello Sammy owners. I'm gonna buy my girlfriend her Christmas present today, the I9300 and I was wondering what's the latest FW for the phone? I see 4.3 has been released than pulled back with problems, then I read somewhere the FW has been fixed and here I see disgruntled users so I suppose no proper 4.3 has been released yet, right? So the latest version is 4.1 or 4.2?

Also, I was wondering is it possible to debloat the phone without rooting/installing any custom recovery? On my SXS you can disable stock apps via settings, is it possible here as well? I heard stock Samsung FW is bloated like hell; I just wanna do some initial tweaking so she can switch between Facebook and Candy Crush without apps reloading. :laugh: Then after a few months if I hear her complaining, I can install a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] tahasmarty:
4.1.2 is last official firmware for i9300 for now... 4.2.2 leaked version is also good.. but dont install 4.3 its sucks your new phone...
[Galaxy S III General] jopancy:
If she's going to complain later why not save yourself the trouble and just root and flash a custom rom?:silly:

she will love you more for it.:D
[Galaxy S III General] revan17:
Well, personally, I always keep a phone on stock for the first month, in case it's defected or something. Secondly; I've never had Samsung phones and it's a chore to download all the drivers, Odin, FW, etc. for something which isn't mine. :P At the end of the day, she don't know the difference between 2.3 or 4.3. :D I was just wondering what's the smoothest option for a start. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] ApresVu:
Smoothest option? Buy the nexus 5..greater, betterer and maybe cheaper option...and much smoother and less bugs and lags :)
[Galaxy S III General] revan17:
If I were to buy a Nexus 5, it would certainly not be for her. :P Besides, it's like 40% more expensive here as compared to the S3. And for her, the looks of the phone are just as important and it seems the white S3 is the most beautiful phone ever. Probably has something to do with her best friend having one. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Dude, the Moto G is $179 unlocked and it's smoother than the S3. Can't go wrong.

You seriously wanna pay more than 500 hundred for a Nexus device? She won't use 20% of it.
[Galaxy S III General] revan17:
Dude, I'm not buying anyone a Nexus device, let alone her. But if I were, I'd be buying it for myself. Like I said, she's got her heart set on the S3 and nothing else. She's a girl for crying out loud. :rolleyes:

As for the Moto G, that'd be great...if I were living in the US. So Moto G going for 179$ in USA means nothing to me. With shipping, tax, customs, etc it would go well double over that.

For reference; I'm spending 500$(converted from Croatian currency) on the S3. So the nice USA prices only make my head hurt. :crying:
[Galaxy S III General] danierakes:
Buy her nokia 3210...
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Sorry, didn't check your country. Prices are crazy over here aswell, but the Moto G is at the right price.

I've paid a pretty penny for the S3, twice... It's a love-hate situation :D
[Galaxy S III General] Hanzo.Hasashi:
Go for the S3 if you have already decided and leave it as it is. 4.1.2 works almost perfect. No need to change anything for a normal living person. Also, root is easy if you decide to do this. Bloat can be removed with bloatware removing apps but needs root as far as I know (haven't done this yet my self because the whole planet waits for Santa to bring the update)

Sent from beneath my cloak of magic
[Galaxy S III General] revan17:
She already had one. Got into problems with the police, they claimed it could be used as a cold weapon. So she had to get rid of it.

Yeah, prices are generally crazy, at least when technology is concerned, pretty much everywhere apart from US.

Paid a pretty penny for my Xperia S as well. Now there was a huge disappointment...the phone flies with CM10.1, but has sucky video drivers and camera. Stock ROMS has everything working great; but multitasking is a pain; 2 or 3 apps can't stay in darn memory. Everytime I see the dialer reloading I wanna smash the phone to the wall. 1GB RAM my ass...when you take away the RAM for GPU and the crucial Android/system files, you're left with like 300MB for yourself. Now there's a love/hate relationship.

Thank you. I think that's how it'll be. Personally I don't think the improvements between 4.1 and 4.3 are all they're cracked up to be...especially when OEMs put their own "icing on the cake".
