Solved: Re: s3 4.3 update

Anonymous · ‎26-11-2013

I was one of the 'lucky' people to catch the upgrade to 4.3.

I've now disabled the smartstay & have been rebooting my phone after i have made any use of the GPS - this is keeping the battery life ok, but I still get dropouts when playing media files & the wake up is occasionally sluggish.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has heard any info other than the comment from samsung that they are investigating.

I'm undecided whether to reset my phone back to 4.1.2, although I have no idea how to do it, if it's going to be months until a fix then I guess it would be worth doing. Anyone heard ANYTHING? I'm not at all interested to hear about disgruntled users - these things happen & I'm sure the poor overworked developers are doing everything than can to fix the faults the test team failed to spot.

All we know is that Samsung have acknowledge there are some serious issues and there is some new firmware out for testing with Dev's. But, we don't know how long it will be before release.

Good to hear the roll-out has started.

Can anyone advise when the update will be issued for I9300XXEMG4 phones?

Thanks,

GB

I9300XXEMG4 is the PDA version that covers many different firmware versions.

I'll need your CSC to pin point exactly what firmware you are on currently.
