Galaxy S3 minor update - Galaxy S III General

http://www.esphoneblog.com/2013/02/09/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-receives-minor-firmware-update-in-sweden/
apparently in some countries Samsung started rolling out a small update. Anyone got it yet ? what are the changes ?

I hope to get it soon( Im from Estonia). I wanted to ask you, if you are experiencing any performance issue with your s3 after 4.1.1 update, cause i do. The phone has became so laggy and slow, though with 4.0.4 i did not experience those issues. Also im experiencing the battery drain. Dialer, contacts, gallery, settings open so much slower. Hoping to hear from you soon . Thanks

[Q] Lollipop Is Extremely Slow and Drains Battery

What i Gods name was Google testing this software on. Its simply just crap! Really really slow and I only have battery to lunchtime. Tried the cache wipe, but with no success. Even the sms text app uses 3-4 seconds to show. Sometimes, hitting the home button uses as long.
Is there an update coming? I really can't find much concrete on the net.

It's Samsung's fault because they rolled out Lollipop.
However, Google isn't blameless here - Lollipop has a been a clusterfcuk of a release in my opinion.
The only thing Google seems to have got right is Material Design. Where's the much vaunted improvements in battery life from Project Volta? MIA, even on the two Nexus devices I have.
Definitely seems to have been a case of form over function in Lollipop.
Interestingly, the preview release of Android M runs better on my Nexus 9 than any version of Lollipop ever did.
Regards,
Dave

Try factory reset. No problem running Lollipop here.

no problems running it here and my device has so many customisations
I had far too many issues. I rolled back on KK. I said for a while "yeah, LP is awesome. Fluid... even though there are issues with it with the Note 4..." until I got sick of the lags here and there, and the battery drain... rolled back to stock KK, and boy! I'm happy! Battery life is automatically 20% better. I also like the stability, it doesn't feel like a toy anymore. I'll wait for 5.1.1
Where do I downloaded kitkat and roll back without rooting? I hate samsmobile download so please tell me it's an alternative

Easy! Use SamMobile to START the download, and then just copy the name that starts to download, and search for it on google.
Then put your phone in download mode, use Odin (put the ROM in the AP section, make sure you're using the correct rom for your phone), and click start.
Easy But these are the instructions I found. Search in the forum on how to downgrade to KK. That's what I did.
Best of luck!
this is a nightmare, how GN4 is soo slow? I've sold my Nexus 6 to buy this one....and wtf is happen with Samsung :S......why why :'(
I will downgrade o kitkat and I hope for better performance
I recently upgraded my Note 4 sm-n910G last month. I rooted my stock kitkat Note 4 and was loving it, Kitkat was blazing fast before and root was even better. But then i lost OTA and couldnt upgrade to Lollipop, even Kies3 wouldnt as i was "unofficial". After almost a year, i finally said F-IT, and went to Sammobile, got the Australian 5.0.1 BOC3 i believe, and flashed it. Did the factory reset even tho i didnt have to lose everything. In the end, its worked out beautifully, Lollipop runs fast, no lags or bugs. I think Kitkat was a fraction faster, but i dont have issues i keep hearing about battery drains & lags. All goog for me so far.
I cant wait for 5.1 for stock Note 4 rom. Im thinking about rooting this thing once again. I might even flash CM12.1 nightly ROM, the worlds my oyster

Problem with certain apps crashing such as Spotify after update to android Oreo 8.0

Hi, I really want to know that are there any P10+ users facing the same problem as me.
Few weeks ago. Around mid march 2018, finally the long awaited android oreo 8.0 came to my p10+. I was so happy. However, after the update. I realised the upside is the battery life. Other than that. I've notice some bugs and inconsistency. For example the most prominent one for me is that the Spotify app keep crashing. It is really annoying. I mean it's a good phone. I just don't understand why 8.0 is so bad and not properly optimised for p10+. When it was 7.0 its fine. Please give me some feedback. Thanks

Hi.I'm not experinced (yet) any issues with Oreo on my P10 Plus,i got the latest update B365 that i starting this month,i'm using Spotify Premium and i don't find any issues.You're using the original apk from PlayStore?Cause i had issues when Spotify has not yet on my country available.My battery life it's now better since i update to Oreo,i got 70% for example now and used by 10 h almost,2 hours on LTE connected by Spotify.I suggest update your phone and see after if it's something from the software or perhaps the phone.
I have the same issue. I don't know if its updated, but since April and May camera, Google map, gallery, Facebook, Instagram will just freeze. I just restart the phone. That's only temporary fix, any solutions....

Terrible performance after Galaxy S8 SM-G950U One UI/Pie update

Hi all,
My phone performance is terrible, everything runs slow and lagging since I took the update. Phone performance was very good before. Anyone else experience this and have any ideas to bring performance back to par?
Thanks for any help.
Factory reset or full wipe after updating to a new firmware. Also, do not restore Google apps, just start from a scratch.
I also have serious lag, it feels like a budget phone. I've had this phone since it launched, and installed every update without precaution. This is the first time experiencing these issues.
Frame rate is terrible, especially while scrolling. Delays in pressing buttons or launching apps have grown from milliseconds to sometimes two or three seconds. No other problems(aside from poor design choices). It feels like aggressive power throttling, not memory issues.
As soon as I saw that so much manual power management has been replaced by a "learning" system, I'm skeptical that the usual fixes will do anything for my problems, especially considering there is no other malfunction. Anyone else?

Samsung Galaxy s8 SM-G950W. Yes. Ever since the update, my Samsung is losing files., running slow and unable to use previously used apps. Substranum, fonts etc.
It's Samsung way of saying - "Buy galaxy S10"
I didn't fell any difference at all in performance.

Well, that's what I was waiting to hear. If ppl aren't universally having the issue, then a factory reset may cure the problem. I'll give it a try soon.
Yes i just got bad performance after installing pie (custom rom, so i always factory reset or it wont work) but yeah after 14 days my phone start to slowing down like old smartphone and the apps is not starting correctly (e.g i must start magisk manually or the root wont work (the app cant detect if phone is rooted even when magisk hide is off)).
I try the LightROM and ALEXIS and both have this problem (performance way worse on lightrom). I know this isnt their fault but the samsung fault (maybe because its early relase? Or...).
Note : performance is normal in the first day, but after 14-30 days the phone start to acting weirdly (the apps behave weirdly) dunno why.
Btw i use SM-G950FD
After restarting about 5 times, then manually clearing cache partition, I was able to get smooth performance. Unfortunately, I still have to restart at least once a day to prevent lagging animation. This is with light usage: streaming, facebook, email.
I turned on "reduce animations" in advanced features, and set the animation scales to 1.5 with dev options. This seems to help prolong smooth operation, but I still have to restart daily. Next step is factory reset, I have a lot to backup...
fresh install thru odin and start all over again is really good solution. at the beginning i also experiencing lag
Mine has an issue of having the fingerprint not working after it was changed. I have to do one of the following:
1. Restart and boot via safe mode then if it works, reboot again
2. Restore Settings from synced backup
3. Reset Settings
So much of a hassle.... I am thinking of rooting this soon.

Had the same problem so flashed official firmware (for my carrier, downloaded from sammobile) with Odin. This part can be done without of rooting your phone.
Do this first (back up your data before as clear flash will delete everything), and test after if it works well. If not, root it (https://forum.xda-developers.com/sa...w-to/guide-root-install-twrp-samsung-t3747535) and install adaway from xda labs.
If you root the phone or install TWRP, e-fuse will break and you cannot go back after that. Warranty will be void and the Samsung fit app won't work anymore.
Fortunately, there are workarounds on a rooted phone (https://tinyurl.com/yy37gnwv) so that is not a big deal, at least for me.
Not sure when you root it if wave pay services will work so do some research first.

Has your lag subsided after time? Mine appears after a night's sleep. It never fails: Restart in the morning, smooth scrolling all day. Next morning, laggy, stuttering scrolling until I restart again. I've uninstalled all unused apps and left power mode on high performance. No change. As soon as I wake up, animation lags like a budget phone. Everything else is reliable, just not the animation.
Of course, I don't actually know what's going on, but I'm willing to bet that this new power management system that we can't control is to blame. If I have to go through all the odin, etc steps, I may just roll back to oreo. Pie is prettier, but I want my smooth operation back.

S10e gets similar reception to my A8(2018). When I got the A8 I had a S8 before that, and i don't remember there being any difference in signal. I live in poor signal area, so if a phone had bad signal, I'd probably remember because I owuldn't have any signal at all.
This is really quite unacceptable. I took the OTA update and the lagging began. I've never had an issue with an OTA update. I've never done a factory reset after an OTA update either. Flashing custom ROM is different but this is from Samsung...
Does anyone have a solution that doesn't involve daily reboots or a factory reset? I just find that really inconvenient.

Yes, I agree. It's hard to know at whom who to point the finger. Google, Samsung, or both. Regardless, it's very disappointing, and hurts my impression of both companies.
I'm currently allowing the phone to run for 7 days to see if the root method listed above by robyos may be feasible for my tmo s8.
If manually restarting is the only hurdle for you, it can now be set to restart automatically (I guess they anticipated this?) Settings > device care > three dots > auto restart.
It feels like a duct-tape band-aid, but it's there. After my 7 day test, I'll probably give this auto-restart a try. However, I'm concerned about the terribly annoying tmo jingle at each restart.

I'm thinking the problem may be googles not Samsung's...I had a OnePlus 5 for almost 2 years. At some point after the pie update it would stutter while scrolling or during animations intermittently. Even a factory reset didn't fix it. The phone was still fast but it was aesthetically annoying seeing the stuttering.
I drown the phone in the ocean on vacation this month and had to replace it so I got a used s8. I haven't had the same issue with scrolling but I've only had it for a couple weeks so far on a fresh wipe. It had some "normal" Samsung lag that the OnePlus didn't have while opening apps and it doesn't keep nearly as much in memory (4gb vs 8 GB RAM). But I'm still thinking the problem may be with pie itself since people were complaining about stuttering on both Samsung and OnePlus phones.
Hopefully my s8 is not affected and it's only certain ones experience it.

Wow! It's sad to hear an 8gb phone would still have the same issue. I wonder if this has to do with power management. Perhaps it's squeezing a tiny percentage of battery life out of saving some frames. It drives me crazy and gives me a headache. I wish they'd provide a simple switch for whatever this is.
This os feels like they ventured into breaking what works in an endless quest to fix what wasn't broken. Perhaps some team of programmers is celebrating minute improvements, but it's coming at the expense of the consumer, who never signed up to be the guinea pig. Each update seems to remove or break basic reliability and functionality that we paid for. I feel like I paid a premium price to become a software tester.
So reboots don't seem to fix the lag I'm experiencing when opening and closing certain apps. This phone was plenty fast before for me. Other issues are present now too. Auto adaptive display brightness doesn't work as well. I also really think it's sheet that you can't disable GPS and have the battery saving mode anymore! WTF Samsung.
