[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pcshano:
Sure, you can upgrade to 4.3 if you want to

the reason why people said not to upgrade to 4.3 is because a lot of people DO NOT READ and come asking for help this or that after they upgrade

and the main reason why people mention not to upgrade is because you can unlock for free as long as you can downgrade your phone to 4.1.1, mainly the bootloader since 4.3 bootloader comes with KNOX

since you're still on 4.1.2, you can downgrade and unlock your phone for free while you still can before upgrading it to 4.3

so this is what you should do, check, if your phone is fully unlocked, if not, unlock it then upgrade

or if you're rich and you don't care, just upgrade and then if you wish to unlock later, pay for unlock code =D

and rooting shouldn't be any problem regardless of which version of android you're on.

to upgrade, you can just download the stock img and flash it through recovery or just use odin flash it

or if you're prefer the old fashion way, the long way in fact, is to unroot, upgrade through system update
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
I would say don't upgrade. The new bootloader has a warranty bit (aka the Knox counter) that, once tripped, can't be reset. Ever. By anyone. The ONLY way I would even consider upgrading is if you need Knox security for work (the majority of us don't). I wouldn't even upgrade if I were selling the device. Let the new owner make that decision for themself. But, I would unlock it. Even if you never need it, it may add a few bucks to the selling price of the phone later on.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] rblancrt:
But what exactly is the effect of this Knox counter. If it's only that I can't reflash a stock ROM and send it back to Samsung that time has long passed.

I guess I'm getting bored with my phone, had it almost two years, and thought updating to the latest firmware might help.

What are the repercussions of going to 4.3 or higher?

Thanks again for the great info.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DocHoliday77:
If you are out of warranty, the only drawback, imo, to updating is you cannot downgrade the firmware or modem. You could still flash older roms and kernels, just not the full firmware and not the modem.

Personally, I wouldn't let knox deter me from updating, or recommending it. This is for each person to decide, but I feel the benefits outweigh any drawbacks. knox is easily removed or disabled, and I find the latest builds to be some of the best in terms of performance and battery. (of course there are always some who disagree with that on every update!) of course there are no guarantees, but most seem to be quite happy with both 4.3 and 4.4.2.

As for downgrading.....I have never found a real need for doing so. Some have though, so thats something you need to decide for yourself.

You can try some of the available roms w/o updating the firmware btw. But if you decide you like them, I do suggest going back and fully updating for stability and performance, but thats something for you to decide if you want to go that route.

There will be some who agree and some who do not, so in the end its up to you make an educated decision whether or not you want to.

[Paid Software Announcement and Discussion] slackware:
Parcel Tracker is a mobile application for IOS and Android devices that allows you to track your parcels from different couriers effectively. It is a free application but contains an in-app purchase to remove ads and enable some features.

Application could automatically detect courier from format of the tracking number most of the time but you could also select courier manually. It also automatically keeps history of tracking numbers you have used and you could perform new query by just selecting from tracking number history list. This allows fast re-query without entering and selecting courier again. You could also give a name to each parcel so that you do not have to remember which tracking number belongs to which parcel.

Application currently supports following couriers but the list is growing each day:

Fedex

DHL

UPS

TNT

USPS

Royal Mail

China Post

Hong Kong Post

EMS China Post

Singapore Post

Korea Post

Swiss Post

Turkiye Post

Russian Post

Aramex

Canada Post

GLS

You can download application from Play Store, just search "International Parcel Tracker"
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nexxus:
Hi, I’ve just changed my mobile to an XDA Exec, had it for about a week and just noticed today the screen seems a little lose where the twisting joint is. I’ll try and explain this: With the XDA sitting on the desk and the screen open (at 90deg to the keyboard), if you put your fingers on the top of the screen assembly, it will rock noticeable from side to side (left/right), which is then more noticeable when it’s closed up. It almost feels like there is enough play in it to cause some damage if not careful.

What I’m interested to find out is, is this normal? Is it normal ware (given it’s a week or so old) or is this something that isn’t right and needs some attention?

Also is it possible to tighten something up to stop this and are there any disassembly guides available for the screen assembly?

Cheers

Matt
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rvnteck:
same here!

same problem with my xda exec, it has a slight wiggle but then it really bothers me. is there a way to tighten the joint or a service center that can do the tightening? im from toronto. thanks!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] nexxus:
Hi, At least I'm not the only one, driving me mad too every time I pick it up....

Do you remember if it did this when you got it or has it started over time? I'm wondering if I can get it repaired under the warrantee or if this is just a "Feature" of the hardware.......

Alternatively I'm interested in finding out how to take the screen section apart. Has anyone got any pictures of the innards? And if that is actually worth doing, e.g. is there a nut that's come loose and needs tighten?

Cheers

Matt
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pug:
The common problem I have found is that the screw on the hinge by the screen pivot comes loose. Look at it with the screen 90 degrees out, It's obvious. It has happened on my last 3 Execs. The screens seem to be easy to damage. :(

Try removing the screw, adding a little super glue or whatever your local glue is and tightening it quickly. Works for me :D
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
i little wobble is normal considering you have a relatively huge screen on that end of a lttle metal base plate with one screw holding it on.

if your screw is tight, but you can wiggle the screen back and forth your base plate may be bent.

this happened on my UNI after a dropped it. the plate was noticabley bent convex. when this happens the base plate isn't supported by the plastic of the case. i removed the single metel screw (described above) and detached the screen from the rest of the case. while it was out i bent the base plate into a concave shape. once it was tighted back down the screen was back to it's slightly wobbly self again! :)

download the service manual and study the pictures.

Instructions:

First time flashing BendzooROM your device, or coming from another ROM?

1 Download the zip.

2 Optional: adb backup

3 Boot into recovery

4 Perform a NANDroid backup of your current ROM.

5 Full wipe[data, cache, format system].

6 Flash BendzoOROM Zip.

7 Reboot.

MOD EDIT: LINK REMOVED

GENERAL COMMENT AND REQUEST:

We ask all the regular contributors here to please answer the "xxx is broken" or "yyy force closes" statements without an attached logcat with something like "LOGCAT or it didn't happen"

Feel free to be creative but DO NOT respond with wipe cache/clear data or any other attempted solution before the reporting user has taken the trouble to actually try to help solve the problem (e.g. by attaching a logcat, detailed steps to reproduce etc.).

We need to force more discipline in how issues are reported which will help us all find and squash bugs that may exist.

Just clearing data etc. may in fact cause us to never find the bug that caused the issue and just makes for lazy users.

I did not tested the rom coz i dont have the XU,i am not at home :3 so if there are any bugs report and we will fix this :)
