Didn't use the phone much after it, but i didn't notice any difference....Oh well

Keep in mind its just 16mb update mostly security/patches but i think and feel it's much faster smoother then before.
I think we'll get another update in the following weeks with bigger changes.

Ya I noticed it was pretty small, what we want is KITKATTTTTTTTT

thanks but i knew that already, what i meant was that most regions have no 4.3 update yet(only 3 or 4 countries) and its been 2 weeks since the supposed "rollout" started
guess i will have to flash again, how lame

Oh ok..ya, it is increasing like every 2 days, but just flash the one closest to your country...it doesn't really matter much other than CSC mostly..

i dont like flashing stuff before the warranty expires but well, what else can i do i guess

I don't think this voids your warranty, because you are still on stock firmware....you don't need root or a custom recovery!

Just got an OTA from MJ5 to 8. Phone generally feels the same. Nothing new observed by me other than "maybe" a little better RAM management.

I have a Latin American spec i9500, and I'm being prompted when connected to Kies, but can't update over the air.

Have you encountered the "Processing failed" message when you register your device to be able to recieve OTA updates after flashing the rom? I did. I don't really rely on OTA upgrades since i flash roms, but it does bug me a bit knowing that i dont have that option.
You are rooted?
Sent from my HTC One X+ using Tapatalk 2
Afaik it happens because of csc doesnt match between rom (uk or german or whatever) and our phone's (globe or smart or sun or openline).
I am currently using german rom flashed over philippine rom (globe), and just ignores the warning.. do far no prob for me stabilitywise
Hopefully when official philippine jb rom comes, the csc will match so ota upates can now be enabled..

Hi mga kababayan. I just want to ask if you have any screen protector recommendations for me. Im based in manila. Also cant seem to find any dock lately... tnx in advance
Yes just flash the UK rom as it is newer then German and most probably the one which is going to come to Asia, I also got sick and tired of waiting for the indian release and installed the uk samsung really are treating as a second world country two months still no release

I think that was a problem with the german rom which was release earlier than the uk, haven't tried it yet
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Its is because you have flash rom which is not for your region and hence you get this error, you can either live with it or change the CSC code to the rom you installed the only issue then would be you will get updates for that particular region in future
i am using jb rom of germany no issues so far well except for ota updates. i can always use odin anyway.
I just bought my Note and as I was using the S Note for reading my chemistry ebooks and doodling on them, everytime I exit the app, it took so long before the ebook is saved. Sometimes, my Note won't even respond. Is there something wrong with it? Should I have it replaced?

If you are running a custom rom, you will need to wait for the roms dev to release an update to his rom. Updates from your carrier will only apply if you are still stock; Otherwise, you must wait until those updates get incorporated into the rom you choose to run.

Not sure which is best for updates. I unbranded mine from 3, but with all the root issues I'm staying stock btu until the new root methods are well established and tested. The updates will come to sim free phones soon enough.
AFAIK Netherlands or any others are fine to flash, I prefer to keep to btu myself.

Yep used to be. I heard that the carriers may have a deal with Samsung these days to get theirs first, maybe to encourage contract buying?
I guess the success of the Galaxy S range of phones has made carriers see that IPhones aren't the smartphone everyone wants now. Money is most likely the reason

So is it worth going back to EE's software??
geeez - why you need ota /stock - in most cases sammobile is way ahead BEFORE carier update 0 just download / root / modify the way you want ...

Samsung Might Skip 4.2.2 Update for Galaxy S3, to bring 4.3 instead

Samsung Might Skip 4.2.2 Update for Galaxy S3 and Note 2, Plans Jelly Bean 4.3 Instead, along with Galaxy S4
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/07/16/rumor-samsung-may-skip-android-4-2-2-on-galaxy-note-ii-galaxy-s-iii-for-android-4-3/
i don't think so 4.3 is not on the nexus 4 yet so it would still be a surprise if we get it this year which makes plenty of time for 4.2.2 on our device
I am glad we have great Aosp Roms and we don't have to wait for crapwiz.
That is old speculation and rumor that has grown new legs today .
Reports all tend to be identical .

Where did the leak 4.2.2 came frm?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
O look!......another rumour.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! (It's an old man thing!)
They already skipped 4.2.1.... the 4.2.2 leak us much more advanced. It takes a LOT of effort to take google's source code and touchwiz it up. If they skipped 4.2.2 for 4.3, 4.3.1 will be on the horizon so they may aswell keep scrapping up to android 18.5...
Nah, rumour = rubbish IMHO

You're right, it's not true. It is the leak compiled in May. NO WAY would they release a 2 month old leak as a stable release.
But, XX is not UK, Most of Europe use XX, Including Poland (who are usually first to get new releases) and Serbia, where the guy with the jokes is from.
As you can see on sammobile.com, Serbia will get XX releases.

No jokes, really guys, I just shared this with you. My buddy got an upate to 4.3 on S4 same day. I don't know what is wrong with this, I am not joking with you.
