hello everyone.

can someone give detailed feedback for the latest 4.3 samsung rom?

Is it as buggy as when 4.3 was first released to the public?

Edit: Never mind. I got it.
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
4.3 NB6 is just perfect. If you are upgrading from 4.1 do a factory reset for optimum performance.
[Galaxy S III General] Or1994:
what is the newest firmware with the newest change list?

which firmaware works perfect?

i saw a lot of new firmwares in sammobile

It just tells me that there is new functionality added with this update.

EDIT: I just connected to Kies3 and it tells me there is a new update available for PHN!

Hi

I installed few days ago the xxugna5 and result is catastrophic.

Battery behavior is totally erratic: I gave the phone the time to reinit the usage statistics (few recharge/ discharge cycles) but still it passes from 60% charged to 1% in minutes... When battery is low GPU is unstable... Nothing of that with the previous official 4.3 ROM.

Also, camera is now giving very poor and noisy results in lowlights whereas previously was working far better...

Well, I'm upset by the results

Any suggestion?

Full reset? Go back to previous official ROM (possible)?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] Robin2:
Try a clean install/full reset. If that doesn't work, then you might be having some hardware issues.

Gna5 works flawlessly here.

[Galaxy S III General] wis38:
Thanks Robin2

It was sounding strange to me too, given no bad returns on this ROM.

Finally, yesterday we changed the battery and the phone now works like a charm (in the meantime we also got a card corruption). The old battery looks a bit fatter... Breaking. Bad coincidence the old battery broke when we installed the ROM :mad:

For the people curious (I saw the question in an other post) I installed a Korean battery in an European phone. Size is not identical (Korean is 4mm smaller on the long side than the European one, but works -same pins, same voltage, same Ah-). Of course the contrary would not work.
[Galaxy S III General] Marcovanbasten:
Hello,

I got the same problem than you for the update. Could you let me know how did you resolve the problem ?

Regards.

Anyone on a newer 4.3 answer a quick question for me.

When we first got 4.3 I updated but there was an issue with text message previews.

IT was either have your message displayed on the lock screen or have it hidden from everything, including the notification panel even when unlocked. Is this fixed now?

IS it possible to see the message in the notification panel when unlocked, but NOT have the message shown on the lock screen.

Want to know if it's safe for me to move from 4.1.2 back to 4.3.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] Marcovanbasten:
Thanks for your reply.

Not working for me with kies. The update is downloaded but it stays on 0% for installation.

If someone finds a solution...

I got my update to NA8 via Kies, even if my GS3 is rooted. Is there anything wrong?

I know that if your Galaxy is root-ed, you can't update via Kies / OTA, only via Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] JustArchi:
Lie, you can't update if you have "custom" status, however "custom" status usually is connected with two things - recovery and the kernel. Therefore you can be rooted and receive update, as long as you have stock recovery and kernel.

[Galaxy S III General] elcabone:
Or waiting for 4.4 for easy closing 4.3 Support?! ... Who knows..
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:
Neh not even Nexus devices have 4.4 yet so most probably that will come next year late Q1 or early Q2. Or probably no 4.4 at all just to make customers buy newer devices. Yeah... most of the early 2-year contracts of GSIII will be over by launch of GS5 so Samsung will surely want us to by the new one.

Music stuttering :(

hello All,

I have read hundreds of post related to the music stuttering, but honestly, I still don't know if there is any fix or workaround for this issue.

My device is 4.3. (MK6) and no root.

Please can you help me with this matter?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] winuxguy:
A friend of mine has this issue that we found to be caused by running a lot of apps in the background and is eating up a lot of memory. We ended up running CM11-M9-Snapshot-kitkat-4.4.4 to fix it. If you want to stay with stock Samsung ROMs, you better root your phone and read some forums about de-bloating your ROM.
[Galaxy S III General] winuxguy:
Updated to NH4+Debloated Blazing fast!

Hi All,

For those having issue with performance of your ROMs, try flashing the NH4 updates and make sure to use the NA8 modem if it did not come w/ it then debloat it. You have a great working ROM.

Only bug I experienced is the MyFiles crashing when deleting or renaming a file. Just install a third party app for it like EsFilexplorer.

I've attached a few Antutu Benchmark results.
[Galaxy S III General] winuxguy:
Use CFAutoroot. Search for it in google. It should be easy for you to install via Odin.
[Galaxy S III General] Meebsy:
I would be satisfied; not happy, with being stuck on 4.3 if the battery drain wasn't so bad.
[Galaxy S III General] t2can:
howsit. I am on stock 4.3 jellybean & my battery drain is not as bad as the newer updates. I use I9300XXUGNB6_I9300OJVGNB3_XFA its South African Unbranded firmware. On a full charge via the 1a s3 charger,with use,your fone should last a day depending on how old & worn out your battery is. Try it, you can find it on Sammobile under GT-I9300 South Africa XFA
[Galaxy S III General] snake_01:
I would be satisfied; not happy, with being stuck on 4.3 if the battery drain wasn't so bad but using android 4.4 the battery is ok
[Galaxy S III General] t3chg33k:
In an ideal world, we would believe everything that Samsung says. This world is ideal not. ;)

Anyway I suppose the info came from sammobile through an insider who perhaps has no real say in the decision; so can't hold Sammy responsible if they decide against a 5.0 release, especially when official announcements like OS10 for the PlayBook are easily rescinded.
[Galaxy S III General] Slazur:
Samsung also said we would get 4.2.2 by June so yeah.

I don't mind at this point though, since their releases take like 3 or 4 more months after the source is released. If released, CM will be a much better bet by then.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Well we cannot hold them to deadlines but I have no reason to suspect they wont release 5.0

Kernel sources come out after ROM release, if you're talking about samsung sources. Unless you mean Google sources? In which case,yeah. Lots of work to be done
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Maybe they will, about a a year and a half after android 6 is announced and out on Nexuses.
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
We'll see.
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
By then you're out of contract and on another device. :)
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
Quite possibly. Not bothered either way. Unless Google suddenly drop the open source project or android in general, I will see 5.0 one way or another.

I'm not one of those people who have a sense of entitlement for updates either. I understand economics and that updating them forever isn't feasible. I also understand the benefits that dropping support for a device has on future handset development.

I don't like a release announcements followed by a reversal but that hasn't happened here either as there's nothing official about our 5.0 announcement.

Yeah, I guess I don't really care.
[Galaxy S III General] crazedzealot:
Not sure if Samsung will release 5.0 or if they even said they would but if they did, its still not set in stone. We still have not seen the necessary sources for Exynos processor and they said it would be out by the end of 2012.
[Galaxy S III General] yuezhe:
i am despair of samsung. 9300 is still 4.1.2
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
It's called after sales care, Samsung know a large number of users are on a 2 year contract therefore whether Samsung choose to update their devices or not they cannot upgrade.

Only updating their current flagship will mean lower sales for the next one after people on a 2 year contract were frustrated with Samsung last time. Phones these days generally have a 2 year update cycle.
[Galaxy S III General] Froyo2010:
i truly hope that samsung is improving battery life in this update.
[Galaxy S III General] Neodgod:
Maybe they don't give out updates to make us use custom Roms so they don't have to repair our devices under warranty for free :D

[Galaxy S III General] executionist:
Any news if we will be getting 5.0 or even 4.3?
[Galaxy S III General] onesolo:
Why everyone betting that the next version after 4.3 will be 5.0 ?!?!

As far as we know it can be what the hell google wants it to be... it can be 4.4 or 4.5... no ones knows for sure...
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Correct. We can but speculate.
[Galaxy S III General] Braeburn:
5.0

i think the next update for Samsung is 5.0 key Lime, there is too much delay for the official 4.2.2, and galaxy s4 recieve the Android 5.0 in october..
[Galaxy S III General] danarama:
We're not. We're betting Key Lime pie will be 5.

4.3 is currently the only unreleased but announced 4.x

Nothing else has been announced and no one is betting there won't be 4.4
[Galaxy S III General] seabass950:
why is it taking so long to get 4.2.2 official out???
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Because Samsung will give the S3 the same TW that the S4 has (TW Nature UX 2.0). They just need to find a way to be able to bloat it down to their liking.
[Galaxy S III General] ezekionokia:
[MENTION=3655508]Theshawty[/MENTION] - you mean bloat it up.

It's funny that on one hand, people are going crazy for not having official 4.2.2 and on the other hand the same people hope that Samsung will deliver Android 5.9.2 to a soon to be EOL device.

News flash, you should be grateful to your god of choice if you receive 4.2.2 this year.
[Galaxy S III General] Millenium3:

It's officially announced that update comes October...
[Galaxy S III General] UrbanDrawer:
He's joking, could be true though since it wouldn't be the first time Samsung breaks their promises.
[Galaxy S III General] danieldp1990:
what I have been wating of this update is the transparent notification bar!! it makes the screen looks much much better!
[Galaxy S III General] theronkinator:
Wonder if Samsung have done Google's requirement of Ext SD cards to read only in 4.3, will make the phone pretty useless.
[Galaxy S III General] DeadSOL:
Don't be too excited, people! We all remember the first few releases of 4.1 on the S3; they were disastrous and mostly incomplete!

Seems to work fine (DeltaROM leaked 4.2.2) & even on the S4

Most likely they gave up or just decided to skip to 4.3 as it was easier to go with the galaxy gear

could be but that doesn't explain the S4 being shipped with it.

[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
very true.

I actually have no idea of the differences between 4.3 and 4.2.2
[Galaxy S III General] tmantanner4:
4.3 is much smoother and snappier than 4.2.2.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
Have you tried it? If so on which device...?
[Galaxy S III General] KKTHX:
probable on CM 10.2 :P
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
see that's not exactly the same thing as users would get on their S3's - so that comparison or comment doesn't apply - in my opinion
[Galaxy S III General] tmantanner4:
Yes, I am currently running CM 10.2 and I have used it as a daily driver for the past 3 weeks and I have no intentions of reverting to CM10.1, or even the dreadded Touchwiz crap.

It's not the same thing that most users would experience on their s3's, but this is a developer forum where work is published by many and used by many. In that regard, my comment does apply and still stands. Your comment is ignorant and a stupid way to look at things so it doesn't apply - in my opinion.

And I have also used 4.3 AOSPA on my brother's nexus 4. Again much faster than 4.2.2.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
I think you're missing the point. I'm saying the differences between 4.1.2, 4.2.2 and 4.3 on Sammy based ROMs, shouldn't be compared to those of CM or AOKP etc.

I myself am on the "touchwiz crap", as you like to put it, and have been stable for the last 4 months on 4.2.2, without a single glitch. I'm very content with my battery life especially. There's also no need to be disrespectful on here. Everyone is entitled to their own choice and developers are really kind in providing a huge variety of ROMs and bases to use and even work on if we want.
[Galaxy S III General] tmantanner4:
Samdung should just re release the latest 4.2.2 leak with an edited build.prop to state 4.3. If you are looking for changes in any of Samdung's roms, you are looking in the wrong place.

And on the issue of stability, i have used both of Samdung's 4.2.2 leaks and almost every reiteration of CM10.2 and I can conclude that the battery life and stability is far superior on CyanogenMod (right now).

There is no need to be disrespectful, but there is also less of a need to discount something because of a preconceived idea.
[Galaxy S III General] TotallydubbedHD:
Lol...I won't say anything else.
[Galaxy S III General] hwjrmrm:

[Galaxy S III General] tqgia2:
You're coming across as very aggressive mate and I think you're missing the point that TDHD is making. He's not discounting that 4.3 could (and probably is) better. I myself have seen it and experienced it in action and agree that it feels snappier (can't comment on battery life and stability though). What he's just trying to say that in the current context of this thread, which is implicitly about the 4.3 Samsung release, your comment isn't really valid because it simply is out of context.

Compare apples with apples and oranges with oranges.
[Galaxy S III General] wizayne:
I would have to say that I agree with tmantanner4. The context of what I read was Samsung releasing updates. Whether stock or not if they open some sources with the update my phone will be worlds quicker and sport way better battery life. I didn't realize we were only looking towards a release to run stock. I thought in a dev forum (such as ....this) people like us look towards stock releases to get sources and the sources help fix bugs. Especially on CDMA devices and those with proprietary blobs, those sources do a world of wonder, and releases in general because they include the.blobs.

I wait for 4.3, but certainly not because I need Samsung to bring it. Thankfully the community has already done this, and.much more timely and effectively than the oem. I wait so that any nasty hacks and such to work without new sources, and missing blobs for hardware, can be alleviated.
