:S Am I the only one who seems to be having no problems with this rom at all? Battery life for me has been the same if not better than when I was on 4.1.2

I do have the screen delay but its maybe 1 second at most. No where near 3
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Just keep using it, I said the very same at first.

One time it took 5 seconds to wake.
[Galaxy S III General] ciprigeorgiu:
well you can't say you used your phone to much. I mean in twelve hours you only used it once for a short amount of time.
[Galaxy S III General] bender_007:
Might be you overbloated your dear smartphone with facebook, twitter etc etc etc so the whole time something is active and it doesn't have time for it's weekend.

For users which deleted all the crapware and don't use tons of cpu killing apps it works like crap. The delay.
[Galaxy S III General] tqgia2:
I assure you my phone is very much bloat free. I take a lot of time to debloat and am using greenify with tasker profiles, which is hardly a task killer. Xposed startup module has taken care of anything that starts up with my phone.

Phone is running pretty clean. All I use is bbc news, tapatalk and whatsapp atm. Exam period hasn't given me much time to install much else. But I'd probably install Facebook and that's it.

To update however, I am getting delays now. But still it's only one or two seconds and not all the time. Personally it doesn't really bother me but I guess it could seem annoying to others

Modem issue

Ok, i installed the firmware 4.3 from vodafone germany and every tutorial says to put the modem file... here's my issue, now i'm getting the annoying message "emergency calls only". i have no idea what was the original baseband or region from the modem or the firmware. i bought this phone from the internet (amazon). i've tryed every solution posted, ariza patch apk, ariza_jbv02, Galaxy Sim Unlock, and nothing.... still got the original imei but still... pretty expensive BRICK

ANY HELP???? PLEAAAAAAAAAAASE!!!!

Wake up delay...Why ?

The CPU Governor takes the cpu in the deep sleep state (to save battery)

when you press that button, the cpu have to wake up and load the heavy water effect....

How to fix ?

DISABLE THE WATER EFFECT!
[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
You don't, apparently they hidden some settings (or remove it)...

I saw a guy on the official thread of the rom, that had those settings, but he was with a custom rom based on the new official rom.

By the way... this thread doesn't make anysense no more... better to lock it forever...

android is defenitly been updated far too fast, 4.2 isnt even out the door and is 4.3 on the horizon. and it seems all you guys are constantly craving updates even when they regress, eg. I think 4.1 is clearly better than 4.2

---------- Post added at 08:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

The flagship phone's have never sold huge numbers.

I read on here and some android sites that apprently the S3 sold 10s of millions. But the truth is nearer that 95% of people buy lower models like the s3 mini, in fact uk retailers often said peopel came in, thought the s3 was too big but liked the s3 mini and got that instead. I have never met anyone in the offline world who owns either a s3 or s4, I am the only one in my social circle. XDA is a bit unusual in that hey really making roms for the devices that in the real world not that many people have but are popular on XDA, eg. S3 gets much more dev support than S3 mini. But in real world many more poeple have the mini over fulkl sized S3. Of course devs on here make lots of cash from donations so can update phone every year.
[Galaxy S III General] markuz85:
No way. I know tons of people who have the S3 and I see S3 owners everywhere, all the time. The S3 Mini though is pretty rare.
[Galaxy S III General] palito1980:
So is there a way to port 4.3 from images uploaded by Google for Galaxy Nexus?
[Galaxy S III General] JJEgan:
Thanks for the laugh of the day post.

I hope you made the stupid comments on purpose for a giggle . Be very very sad if you actually believed your own comments .

jje
[Galaxy S III General] chrcol:
believe what you want but check financial reports, the flagship phones are there to generate the wow factor, publicity, advertising etc. But the backbone bread and butter of sales is the mid end and low end phones. and yes seriously I have never seen someone holding a s3 or s4 out in the public, the phones are very big so they stand out. Round here tho the iphone is incredibly popular most people have an iphone, 2 members of my family have a nokia luma

I am the only one who even owns an android, outside my family most people I met own an iphone4 or s2 or s3 mini. Of course different social circles have different people, another circle may be dominated by s3's I accept that. But the financial reports dont lie on the overall picture.

I apologise tho as this is off topic.

Back to 4.3 my only reason for really maybe to try it out is that devs here tend to abandon quickly android versions that are not the latest, thats the only reason I would upgrade. The lock screen on 4.2 feels like its in beta a half done job. I expect in the android version after 4.2 the lock screen will be changed again to be in a better state as 4.2 feels like they have half done something. 4.2 also slower and faster battery drain than 4.1, will that regress further in 4.3? dont know.

Knowing Samsung, we can rest assured that they'll beat other manufacturers to the punch and probably be the first to start rolling out the update, and we'll be sure to try to get our hands on test versions and make them available to you whenever possible.

guys, coming from XXUGMJ9, would flashing CM 4.3.1 cause any problems regarding efs?
[Galaxy S III General] Nickthegr8:
would flashing CM 4.3.1 cause any problems regarding efs

No .. your EFS has already changed to V2 so no problem as long as you use a modem with EFS V2 post MG4
[Galaxy S III General] guerouig:
Thanks bro. So, to be sure, If I flash CM 4.3.1, it will keep the baseband version presently in use, i.e I9300BUUGMJ3
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Yes, cm neither touches the efs nor the baseband/modem
[Galaxy S III General] tahasmarty:
I am very very disappointed we all wait for 4.3 long time like hell :( and what we get is a bug full firmware :( seriously i dnt believe that these are official firmwares how can they be? lock screen have no shortcuts no lighting effect no s4 theme nothing :( 4.2.2 leaked is far far better then this :( i think we will wait for Nov ends may be after that we get something for what we are looking in 4.3 .. right now i am not happy at all...
[Galaxy S III General] X301:
Ok, I know that the 4.3 official firmware for S3 I9300 has started being rolled out )via kies) and its already out in Switzerland and Ireland

Anyone has any idea historically speaking or factually when 4.3 will roll out for BTU (unlocked England) for S3 I9300?
[Galaxy S III General] stephg27:
No, it's impossible to know because the roll-out order is never the same from one release to another.
[Galaxy S III General] sergini:
And if they don't manage to improve that 4.3 version from a: "take this and stfu s3 users" to a proper "the wait was long but it worth it" version you shouldn't even care.

At the moment 4.1.2 is far superior than the current 4.3.
[Galaxy S III General] X301:
Well I ask because often when phone has around 15% battery with 4.1.2 When I get a call it doesn't ring so after restarting phone it works again...

Im more concerned with fixes then with all the other superficial stuff many comments here seem to be concerned with and bashing on anything that comes down official vine.

Your reply is heard though, if you feelings are that way inclined then when the upgrade comes to your area, then dont.

However if anyone knows when BTU or if at all BTU will get this 4.3 please do post about it.
[Galaxy S III General] Yehazkel:
Hey,

My signal with this modem is very poor...

Can I flash other modems? In that case, which one?

[Galaxy S III General] sergini:
That seems to be a rom problem. Just change or update your rom.
[Galaxy S III General] X301:
Well Im sticking to Official only for time being and I have no more updates available. Again this is why I asked about BTU and 4.3 availability via kies or OTA

Is anyone supposed to guess what hardware/phone/existing software you have? Noone is a mind reader here. Granted this is for S3 but thers quite a lot of rom available on custom end bit and csc requirements.

Hi all,

Currently on XXECM2 baseband running PA 3.99 here and in anticipation of the UK BTU 4.3 firmware release I just wanted to check the process I need to follow in order to upgrade smoothly – especially given the issues with EFS/IMEI some people appear to be having.

I am aware of this thread which explains that the EFS is modified to EFSv2 after XXEMG4 upgrade:

STOCK FIRMWARE I9300XXEMG4 -> Changes EFS Folder

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2377731

The main problem I have is that I don’t know if I have an upgraded EFS (i.e. EFSv2) or how to even check this. I just want to get my device ready in time for when the BTU 4.3 firmware fw is released by Sammy. I have nandroid/EFS backup already, but would ideally like the whole process to go without any issues at all.

I would be grateful for any advice.
[Galaxy S III General] KillerbeeNL:
I was on the same boat with XXEMC2 modem and flashing firmware 4.3 VDI with Odin there's no problem as it is official rom and no CWM version.

always backup your EFS.

I did that prior when flashed 4.3

I used K-tool for that and made a copy to my laptop.

the 2 files are in root of sdcard (internal sdcard memory)

Backup your internal sdcard to to be sure some pictures etc. just to be safe

Then just got the latest mobile odin on playstore.

I guess flash the 4.3 bootloader gives the problems on 4.3 lags.

downgrade from 4.3 leaked - Galaxy S3 I9300

Hello guys,

I have a small problema. I've flashed 4.3 leaked version for GS3. It looks nice but it has huuge lag. And now i want to revert back to 4.1.2 wich is most stable for me. I've already did that revert but my IMEI had give me some emotions when i read it ... 0049. That's wasn't a problem. I was able to resolv it but i'm still on 4.3 version and everytime when i try to go back to 4.1.2, my IMEI ... 0049. Now my question is, how can i revert like i want without screew EFS?

P.S

I'm not rooted and i don't wanna root my phone so i can not do a backup to EFS folder

Thx in advance and sorry for my poor english language :)
[Galaxy S III General] blazevxi:
You need to flash to a version of 4.1.2 that uses EFS v2. For example, EMG4
[Galaxy S III General] ErnestoD:
My problem and others too is not to be ablo to move to 4.3 becouse it uses EFS V2 and in our cases is not possible. This is the case for the ones that are using 4.1.2 roms depending on ariza patch to get network.

Thanks for the info anyway.

[Galaxy S III General] tahasmarty:
In my opinion dont flash it... its waste of time 4.2.2 leaked is far better then this....
[Galaxy S III General] bogddy87:
Wake delay it's huge. 3...4 seconds. And when someone call me, phone is ringing but display remains black. It will turn on and i can see who calls me but like wake delay, after a few seconds...

That's not comfortable at all...

My advice, don't flash this crap. I will wait for a stable release
[Galaxy S III General] bornlivedie:
Too bad it's just a leak and it will never have a custom kernel or other significant developments.
[Galaxy S III General] abihakim:

[Galaxy S III General] btrst:
i've done all of those too. no wake up delay but still not snappy like older roms.
[Galaxy S III General] plymptonpilgreen:
My wake delay was huge. Sometimes it wouldn't come on at all until I pressed the home screen. And im on 4.1 2

The reason for this I discovered was not the rom but in fact the front camera and prox sensor that are one unit within the phone.

I found this out because I had a front camera fail and when I replaced the camera and prox sensor it was perfect.

Just saying like get the hardware checked.

I never use smart stay anymore because thats what has burnt my camera out with it being on constantly.
