More RAM consumption, Hell lots of battery drain..! That's 4.3 for me. Sammy just fix the battery and I will have no problems!
[Galaxy Note II General] toocool7610:
I lasted 47 hours on moderate usage a couple of days ago, but I did go to recovery and hard reset my device after update. I know it's not expected but you have to hard reset and wipe cache to get the best battery life possible

Back up everything before doing it you will lose ALL DATA but it's worth the time

Yep it's stupid but it's the only way to go! Did a wipe/clean install yesterday, installed all apps manually (no recovery) and my battery consumption dropped below 1%/hour.

Only things I don't like with this update are the colors of the screen and a little lag from time to time but this may settle.

After update 4.3 I got a weird 'insufficient space' error when installing apps like "cnn student news" from googleplay, while I still have 5g free space internal storage left.

Meanwhile, I used "directory bind" to mount some apps' data to extsdcard, at android 4.12 everything work smoothly. But didn't work anymore at 4.3. All these weird things are coz that the new rom had changed sdcard location structure I suppose, am I right?

Weather "directory bind" doesn't support 4.3 or I didn't set the data and target directory right? How to deal with "insufficient space" error?

Internet sdcard directory changed

/sdcard/ ---- 4.12rom

/storage/emulated/0/----4.3rom
[Galaxy Note II General] djazeiry:
not me :)
[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
Directory bind is not developed anymore and doesn't support 4.3. Use Folder Mount.
[Galaxy Note II General] poepil:
Why would you use bind directory when 4.3 already supports move to sd card? :)

have you try factory reset?

For me the only thing that doesn't work (so far) is smart stay.
[Galaxy Note II General] dalanik:
Because move to SD card moves only apps, not i.e. obb folder, or maps for navigation apps, etc.
[Galaxy Note II General] Makwaak:

[Galaxy Note II General] poepil:
It doesn't work. I can turn it on and off without problems. When turned on, the eye icon always visible, but always dimmed. It never lit up to detect my eyes.
[Galaxy Note II General] ryanxiao:
I need mount some app data and some directories form sdcard to extSdCard is based on two reasons.

First, some app like "cnn student news" will download videos to /sdcard/download/ directory by default and can't change the path. As time goes by, the download folder can become huge.

Second, sometime after flash rom you need to wipe data/cache or factory reset. so you'll lost any data store in sdcard. Dr. Keten got a article about this How to manage Internal SD data with Directory bind while factory reset. So,I expect to relocate some important stuff to extsdcard.

Now after update form 4.12 to 4.3 (via pc odin->root,not factory reset), all apps and setting doesn't change, everything fine, but directory bind don't work, when click binding, nothing change. So does the app "cnn student news", even can't reinstall form google play.

Really need to know why are these happen on android 4.3 rom? and are there any alternative app (folder mount need paid and I haven't try it yet. any free app?) or methods can meet my need.

See pics form my capture screenshots, Is Internet sdcard directory changed? what exactly sdcard path in 4.3 rom is?

/sdcard/ ---- 4.12rom

/storage/emulated/0/----4.3rom

I've been on the official update for a week or so now, my battery life has gone from great to chronic now.

Yesterday I updated to the international 4.3 (finally) hoping it would fix the issue but overnight from a full charge it has dropped to 43% :eek: which is worse than the nordic one I was on before. My batt stats show the screen being on for 58 mins, was watching Australia hump England at the cricket lol. But nothing else. Normally I watch an entire football match/f1 grand prix and still have over 50% battery left. So summit it definitely draining the battery faster now.

I'll leave it a few days to settle in and keep an eye on it. But whatever Samsung have done in 4.3???, for me it would seem, gone are the days of 2 days without charging.

Even then. Samsung introduced a bug - where it disconnects from a Wifi AP if it detects a captive portal. In my office guest network, there's a transparent proxy, and it redirects (and immediately reloads) the first HTTP request. Unfortunately that breaks the internet access probe, and the phone immediately disconnects. If I forget to do a manual re-connect, it keeps burning 3G data. So my data bill shot up after 4.3 update :(

Battery Discharges 30-40 % Overnight (8-10 Hrs).

After charging the phone to full, I keep it as it is (without even touching the phone), battery falls down to 60-70% till I wake up. I have done the factory reset and used the phone only on pure stock apps for a week, battery falls down to 60-70% till I wake up. Turned off the motions, turned off the 3G, turned off the WiFi to 3G changer and still 30% loss of battery overnight.

Battery status says, most of the battery is used by Android OS itself. Phone does not go to deep sleep. Can not find why.?

Frustrated..
[Galaxy Note II General] congminh1709:
You can you betterbatterystats or wakelock detector app to investigate the reason.
[Galaxy Note II General] doclorenzo:
Yes, it worked perfectly, not a single force close or reboot for weeks..

However the knox bit is now shown in download mode, still 0x0 but none the less it was not there before updating to mj5 bootloader.

Some people say that mj5 does indeed contain knox, most (like you :) ) say that it does not. In my case it seems to be activated in mj5.. But does not really matter, 4.3 is, without doubt, so far the best firmware for my note 2, smooth and incredible battery life.

[Galaxy Note II General] sandulea:
Is anyone having auto brightness issues in 4.3? The phone increases brightness normally, but will only decrease it when it's held horizontally, even if I cover the sensor completely. If I hold it at any other angle, the brightness will only increase. A phone lock-relock or check-uncheck of the auto brightness in the notifications will reset the brightness to the correct level.

I've tried a few different versions, custom and stock, odexed and deodexed, custom and stock kernel, but the problem persists. The only constant is the mj5 bootloader, because I don't have the guts to flash a knox-enabled stock rom yet.

[Galaxy Note II General] muppetmania:
I've got a GT-N7105 (Intl LTE Model) and now have the N7105VNZEMK2 firmware.

Direct upgrade from 4.1.2

This phone has never been rooted, had a custom ROM installed etc.

I've noticed the following:

Touchwiz tends to crash on me once a day. Have to reboot to fix. I've tried clearing cache from recovery and just today I've tried clearing the local Touchwiz cache. Hope that might fix it, don't hold much hope.

HDVoice is now enabled in this ROM release for me (It's CSC dependent) which is nice.

The lock screen (I use PIN Lock) is a bit buggy, you're not supposed to be able to add widgets to it, but if you use the Music Player etc they appear as a widget.

I've found it to be more laggy than 4.1.2, some things just take that half a second longer. Sometimes it'll take 3-4 seconds for the device to wake up when the power button is pushed, or to make the "bleep" noise when the S-Pen is removed. That's only when the screen is off.

The biggest annoyance for me is that Music skips using the stock music player, when the screen is off. Only now and then, maybe once every 5 minutes? Just enough to annoy me.

Overall not very impressed with this update. It introduces nothing for me that I want/need. It make the phone a bit slower, it crashes sometimes and overall it's a step backwards as far as I'm concerned.

The phone's still fine, but not the joy to use it was back with 4.1.2 when I had uptimes of a month.

PS: If you tell me to do a factory reset I will laugh at you. Unless you can show me a single post by an actual Android Dev why I'd want to. Which I've yet to see, but this "Factory Reset it!" is a suggestion that keeps on popping up as a stupid cure all. Of course the phone seems much faster/less laggy when you have half as many apps installed and aren't signed into as many services. Doofuses.
[Galaxy Note II General] fade2black101:
No, the factory reset tends to sort out most the issues.

I was having force closes galore until I did a factory reset. I'd always suggest doing one when upgrading. For instance, I have the same LTE version as you, but I find 4.3 a hell of a lot smoother than 4.1, and this is after installing all my apps back, and then some more.

If yours is more laggy then there is clearly a problem.
[Galaxy Note II General] muppetmania:
What evidence do you have that a factory reset is worthwhile when upgrading? What files were corrupted that it fixed? How does a factory reset fix the Linux kernel being used putting VM pressure on and causing music to stutter?

I understand why people suggest it for Windows - It's highly possible that an app has installed drivers that are dodgy, or overwritten important system files with it's own, under a Windows system. The same isn't true for Android. Apps can't install Kernel modules. They can't write to system areas. So I fail to see how, if I Factory Reset and then install the same 100 apps again, performance is going to change magically. How does that work? Those apps are still going to be generating the same Wakelocks, the same CPU drain, the same Network requests etc.

Or are you suggesting that because the Settings App's database might have some stale information in it, that's why my phone is laggy? That's all that's getting cleared, the database. The app isn't being reinstalled. I can just clear it's database by using the "Clear Data" option. Even for some apps were this isn't an option (And Settings app is a good example, I can clear cache but not data) are you really suggesting a corrupt database is causing major issues?

So I'm curious: What's happening - at a technical level, that makes a factory reset worthwhile? Why do you recommend it?

This is just a wild guess so CMIIW. Perhaps the factory reset revert the system's conf files to their default value.

Same with if you upgrade a Linux distro, sometimes you need to revert some conf files (such as xorg.conf, etc) for the upgrade to works.
