yeah, i thought there was at least going to be a bit more s4 features coming to the s3

like when the ace 2 and s2 got jelly bean quite a few bonus features s3 had got ported over, this the case with s3's 4.3 update, apart from the worse aspects of the s4 that got ported, everything is literally the same, plus some speed improvements, and a useable power saving mode

---------- Post added at 03:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------

your signal seems really weak in your area, so your radio is going to use more juice, especially if you leave your data on, since updating the s3 i have only notices a 4% loss overnight (7pm-10am) but my area has good signal.
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
This phone has serious RAM issues. RAM stays full all the time and multitasking sucks big time, even my htc incredible s with 750 mb ram was better.

Hope kitkat solves this issue. As its made to run on low memory devices.
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
It does, because it has a lot of bloatware (on Android 4.3 even more) so that's why you should to root your phone,to make multitasking better.
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
You mean rooting and then removing bloatware or installing custom roms. Tell me what to do to make multitasking better.

Can you give me a proper thread link for rooting as I'm a complete noob in sammy devices.

But I still think that removing bloatware wont help too much. I should have researched more before buying this device. :(
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
Yes,I can.

Here is a tutorial how to root your phone

http://gs3.wonderhowto.com/how-to/r...sh-stock-roms-using-odin-for-windows-0142713/

How to flash custom rom:

http://www.androidrootz.com/2012/10/how-to-install-custom-roms-on-any.html

And removing bloatware help quite a lot with multitasking,because running unnecessary apps just are eating your RAM,when you will remove them,you will have more room to run your necessary apps.

Custom roms is the best options specially AOSP ones,because they have removed bloatware by default+msot of AOSP roms are running Android Kitkat version which will make your phone much snappier.

So happy flashing!:)
[Galaxy S III General] ciprigeorgiu:
I rooted my phone, flashed neatrom 5.4 version, disable bloatware, use greenify app and autostarts app. My phone is lagfree with power saving enabled, I have 200-250 free ram most of the time and at least 3,5 screen on time during 24 hours of use. So I suggest put this custom rom.

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
Thanks a lot bro!

One more thing, I will need to unlock the bootloader for AOSP roms or rooting alone will do it?
[Galaxy S III General] Simonna:
No, you don't need to unlock bootloader because Galaxy S3 has it unlocked by default.
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
So all sammy phones are bootloader unlocker by default. What about warranty then.

Sorry for noob ques but I'm curious to know.
[Galaxy S III General] nexy33:
There is a a flash counter that will notify samsung of any non standard changes to the bootloader or the rom but chainfire makes a nice util called triangle away and there's a guide on the forums here how to unroot and go back to stock. So if something goes wrong and you cannot reset it then sammy can tell then your warranty is toast if you can use triangle away and put back to stock then your good.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
My phone always has 250-300 ram free,holds on with 3.50-4 hours on-screen time (power saving mode - 4+ hours guaranteed) and handles multitasking brilliantly. I think I will stay with stock.

I have flashed custom roms for like 5 times,and never liked any. Even kitkat ones. None of them made any difference in speed or ram management. I think I will do it only after one year passes.
[Galaxy S III General] popoyaya:
Custom roms = less bloatware, more features. Custom kernels = overclocking, undervolting, better performance, battery life, sound quality.
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
I have done a lot of flashing in the past with other phone and my vote goes to stock ROM for a balance between stability and performance.

Assassin can you tell me how you managed to get 300 mb free ram on stock rom. I have only 80MB.
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
I forgot to mention kernels. Siyah,yank,boeffla. Still the same.

For me,it was always like that. In all stock ROMs,so I really don't know,dude. :)
[Galaxy S III General] flither:
I got 300-400mb free ram most of the Times on stock, 450mb when i'm writing this, also excellent battery life and no probs. So i dont see any bigger reason to flash custom rom atm

[Galaxy S III General] placimaster:
it seems fine...:good: what was your problem with stock kernel? do you use BTU MK6?:p
[Galaxy S III General] :
I had no problem with stock kernel, i ran it for almost 10 days. But as there is a new version of Yanks kernel, i wanted to give it a try for few days.

Atm i´m waiting for further news if there will come 4.4 stock Samsung in March or April for real. Cause this will be the real advantage for our S3 (ART !!!!).

Edit: Yes, i use MK6 BTU
[Galaxy S III General] alexferdean:
I'm running OTA BTU for a few weeks now and I just noticed this strange thing 2 days ago. After the phone is 100% charged, it takes more than 15 minutes for the notification to appear and the led to turn green. From that point if I pick up the phone and use it for browsing, playing, for 15-20 minutes it's still 100% charged. That sounds nice, but after that it starts to go quickly towards 90%.

Sent from my S3
[Galaxy S III General] megadelayed:
my ram usage is constantly over 630mb out of the 830 or so usable after reboot, never mind after a few days of usage XD

but imo i think the app drawer redraws a lot less in 4.3 though, maybe they finally added the not kill launcher instruction in.

I wonder what samsung has added in all of their devices to make the ram usage so high, even with my note 3 the minimal ram usage is like 1.1gb after a reboot and ends up in the 1.8gb-1.9gb used after a few days of use.
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
You mean 4.4 is not confirmed for S3 by samsung. I think it is and will be released in march april.

Battery experience so far

Installed full official stock 4.3 MK6 OTA (416MB) [CSC OXA - UK unlocked].

Battery overall is an improvement on 4.1.2. Not a huge amount, but better (see attached screenshots). I got 5 hours of screen ontime with 10% battery left. To put this in context:-

Battery saving measures adopted:-

1 - Google Now Off

2 - S Voice disabled

3 - CPU (only) Power Saving On.

I am only a low to moderate user, & obviously if you do high end gaming with screen on or do things with screen off e.g. playing MP3s you will get less screen ontime. In my case:

1 - Had WiFi active for 2/3 of the time and mobile data 1/3

2 - Did only very low end gaming

3 - Did some website surfing

4 - Played a bit of iPlayer

5 - Read some news apps

6 - Spent a lot of time playing with settings and features in 4.3
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
33 min. GTA SA playing,1.39h on-screen time with music listening + internet surfing (no power saving) - 69% left.

I think that's pretty decent and I will end up with 3-4 hours (again) of screen on time if without gaming. That's now my normal usage.
[Galaxy S III General] NeoKbm:
Has anyone successfully installed 4.3 from mobile odin (to keep the root)? Thank you very much.

Any news of the India update yet?
[Galaxy S III General] :

I don´t say, that these pictures are faked at all, but i´m a little bit skeptikal, abd don´t want to be too much euphoric, just to get disappointed afterwards...:p
[Galaxy S III General] flither:
i tried with GTA also, 3h of gaming non stop, battery down to 20%. i wonder if on lowest settings could hit 4h

modifiying 4.3 stock

Hi,

I just want to share my expirience.

I have flashed xxemk6 stock BTU. I have rooted it with cf auto-root as described in tutorial.

When i wanted to get rid of bloatware as usually i used ES file explorer like so many times before.

I found that ES cannot get root rights and i couldn't delete any system app.

Then i tried Root Browser 2.2.3 and it is working well so i deleted unnecesary stuff...

I was surprised that ES is not working and tried if i have root with root checker and i do have root acces...

Hope this helps someone...

Screen rotation bug

Someone please help me! I have been trying everything for 1 whole day but nothing helped. So I have just flashed Omega V52 (MK6) Android 4.3 and whenever i rotate my phone it freezes and soft reboots. I literally tried everything...First of all I came from Omega with 4.1.2 Android, I formatted the whole phone, made a clean, full wipe install, flashed Boeffla-kernel, Xposed, Flare lockscreen for MK6 and crt off efect for MK6. After this I restored my backups via Titanium, copied over my pictures, music etc. While in games or third party apps nothing special happens, they work perfectly but when I rotate the screen while in the UI (settings, gallery, contacts) the phone just simply freezes up and after a few seconds it soft reboots. If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate :)
[Galaxy S III General] sanefirst:
Changes???

Can someone tell what has been changed in XXUGMK6 vs. XXUGMJ9?

Apart from modem and kernel of course...
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
I would like to know one thing. As S3 is a high end device but still its not running a 3.4 kernel even with JB 4.3. Why samsung is not updating kernel. 3.4 has a lot of improvements.
[Galaxy S III General] Edge330:
If you can choose:

Sony Xperia Z or Samsung Galaxy S3?
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
You compare phones of 2 different generations. If you care about aosp, I would go with the xperia z. Stock rom is personal preference. Updates are not fast at both companies. The performance difference is not too big, although the xperia z has a small advantage.
[Galaxy S III General] sanefirst:
But the screen is nicer in GS3.

Personally, I don't like Xperia Z's screen. Colors are dull and washed out...
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
Obviously xperia z. Unless you are a sammy fan.
[Galaxy S III General] Moster2:
Thats also personal preference. Not everyone likes the amoled display.
[Galaxy S III General] Iqbal Ansari:
Dont compare amoled to lcd. Over saturation vs reality.

It depends on preference.

I have used both brands. And software wise Samsung is better but sony is getting better day by day.
[Galaxy S III General] sanefirst:
Viewing angles are also not really comparable to GS3...

Morevoer, I used my friend's Xperia Z and for me the phone is sluggish. It feels slower than my GS3.

Xperia Z1 is much better ;)

But if you do,then stay stock. I think there's not much of difference. Stock is already smooth and battery is good,so it's up to you.

As far as I know, RAM has heen created to be used, so it's correct that it stays near full all the time. The difference between a fast or slow system is the RAM Management. It has to use it in a smart way, caching things are used more often.

Having much free RAM does not mean your system is fast, but it's probably be the opposite.
