Hi Guys,
I'm having some trouble with the latest update to my S3 and was wondering if I was in a minority or whether anyone else is experiencing the same issues.
This update seems to have knocked my phone back to the stone age, my phone now burns though battery power at a fair rate of knots an worse, will not connect to my home WiFi, reporting that the "connection is unstable" or the "signal strength is poor" when I have a tablet lying next to it telling me that the signal strength is "Very Strong".
Surely I cant be the only one having this trouble? Does anyone know if there are any updates to this update due out soon?
Thanks in adavance,
David.

Thanks mate, this is exactly what I will do I think. I've run out of time right now though as I have to go to work. Something I have noted though is that at some time over the past 12 hours, the WiFi has started working again! At this time though I still don't know about the battery consumption, I'll keep the thread updated.
Thanks again,
David.

Just a further update, been compairing the phone's performance today with that of yesterdays and I have to say it has markedly improved - I absolutly cannot account for this change!
The battery drain is nowhere near as severe as it has been these past few days and I now seem able to connect to my home WiFi. I am not aware of any update being applied to the phone nor did I get as far as restoring the factory settings, which had been my intended course of action. The only other thing I did notice when the phone was acting up was poor playback of audio tracks (playback would be punctuated by gaps). At this time I have not verified if this also has "sorted itself out", I regard this though as a relatively minor issue and one that I could live with for the time being as I find that the phone is performing otherwise satisfactorily.
