On which JB firmware are you ?
JB is still in leaked state so it highly depends of your leaked firmware version. Maybe this is a known bug of your current leaked rom ? I can't know since I'am still using ICS.
Currently there is almost 1 release per day, and I heard that the first oficial JB rom will be upcoming for this october via Kies in french country.
Finally I found someone with the same issue. Agree it is really really annoying. I wish i could link quickpic app to camera images.
That is true, the screen space that the notification bar takes never gets used by full screen pictures, this means 10px margin on the top of the device even tho the notification bar is not showing.
That happens on the OFFICIAL POLAND kies update. And it took a good while until someone posted this bug

Bug also confirmed present in the OFFICIAL Australian Jellybean OTA update (yes we only just got the update a few weeks ago).
Have since ditched Samsung's Gallery app and moved to QuickPic, as suggested here and in another thread.
I'm finding the app is better than Samsung's offering anyway and at least it automatically rotates the screen when you turn your phone landscape! (this feature is disabled in the Australian firmware while viewing pictures)

Hi,
I get a black stripe in every photo app. I attached a picture. It is photoshopped to show you how it looks, because a screenshot doesn´t show it.
I have a cleanly installed UK Stock LG8 ROM.
It doesnt happen in the 16:9 mode, just in the original 8mp mode.
Any ideas?
I used to have a similar problem with my HTC desire but it would also have a nice purple overlay in the camera app as well as the black bar
Unfortunately the only way it got fixed was to send it back to HTC but im pretty sure they only updated the software.
Regards
Jack

1- go here and perform the camera software update (need to be done with stock kernel)
2-if you use a custom kernel, check that he use the last samsung sources release and not outdated one
3- if none of the 2 first work: try a factory reset

Hi, just updated the camera firmware and the problem is still there.
no way i´d do a factory reset for that. Maybe when the jellybean update arrives and i still have the problem.
thx

Notifications got changed, you can now do a gesture to show more info (more emails etc) - search on youtube.
Blocking mode added, new homescreen modes (easy mode for noobs)
Projectbutter forces the system to run at 60FPS everywhere, removing/reducing lag.
Google Now, better than S-Voice AND SIRI (check youtube).
More free RAM (check Task Manager)
I just installed JB with CM10 and besides some aesthetic modifications, specially in the notifications bar, nothing changed from CM9 with ICS. I guess with Stock ROMs it must be pretty much the same. And CM10 was a bit laggy sometimes so, seen the lack of differences, I went back to ICS:
All the hype on XDA has been from overexcited noobs .
JB is an incremental update nothing more .

JB is more than an incremental update, check the Google IO 2012 video on youtube for complete changes.
CM10 is laggy because of missing HWCOMPOSER sources from samsung, that means project butter and GPU acceleration don't work on CM10 and ROMs not based on samsung builds.
Thanks for the replies .... I'll go check out youtube .

In the s3 notifications have no JB gestures. Project butter is only partly here, not as good as on the nexus. Google now is here, but seems to drain a lot of battery. Other features that are supposed to be in JB: Android beam doesn't work with gallery (which is probably where you want to use it) the gallery is the same as ics and has none of the new gestures, it isn't connected with camera like on true JB. The For now only nexus users know what real jellybean is! I miss my nexus... Touchwiz is quite different from vanilla android and not in any useful or particularly better way!

The only gesture I can see is swipe for dismissal, but I can't resize messages or screenshots like it's supposed to do.

You're right, I forgot about the 2 finger part! Well, at least we got that, another thing that's missing that I didn't mention is the throw to delete gesture on the homescreen, but a third party launcher can easilly fix that.

so when i am on aokp or cm10, and i tick the "force GPU" setting, are you saying it doesn't work?
i'm on psycho aokp now and it's damn smooth to me, virtually no lags, unlike the prev aokp roms i've tried..
Hey. It seems like the "new" 4.0.4 (4.1.B.1.13) is available through Vodafone. I've just updated my phone and here are my thoughts.
1. The notification led problem hasn't been fixed.
2. There's no new kernel.
3. It's a bit smoother than .587. (Actually it's not. Just placebo.)
4. The touchpad responds better. (Placebo)
5. The dialer is much faster.
EDIT:
6. I'm disappointed in Sony. I've waited so long for this update and it's a pile of t****, slow and buggy. If you're still on GB, stick with it, don't "update"!
EDIT:
7. Sony, are you playing us? Video recording still laggy, audio output is still mono.
EDIT: According to CTCaer the only real change is related to WiFi libraries. There's also a new baseband which might also solve some signal issues. That's all folks! Don't expect better overall performance.
Download: http://d-h.st/WcP
Note. Vodafone branded. Contains carrier bloatware.
Some screens and Benchmarks.
still same pathetic mixed ui
What other changes? more screenshots please)) there is a problem with the network mode?
i'm still curious about what did they update actually. kernel is still the same exact kernel as .587, bit by bit.
if notification led and buggy video record with stabilizer on haven't been fixed, what is the change then?
btw i can see the baseband is .85 now.

Total waste of time. Going back to my sweet ginger because this update is a total fail. Also, this is totally my last Sony phone.
Whether switching of a mode of a network (2G/3G) after reboot is corrected?

Did they fix network mode resetting?
Did they changed, added, removed any widgets?
Is there still double "Fun & Downloads" widget?
Does "media shortcuts" widget still takes 4x2 grid instead 4x1 which is proper?
Is WiFi coverage still as weak as before?
Is app drawer still laggy as before?
Is overall experience still cluttered and choppy as before?
Is gaming still "mission impossible" as before?
I guess it will take some time to answer all this, but we're not rushing anywhere. Take your time.
this is like they mock us -.-
they releasing new firmware with no noticable changes

5,6,7) It's still full of lag. Homescreen switching is slow and choppy, the app drawer is the same. Video recording laggy and mono sounded. Gaming is laggy, for example, Temple Run lags, same as on .587
As for the rest, I can't tell for sure. Once I saw how bad it runs, I switched back to GB.
What's the change except numbers then?
thank god this is xda, custom rom and kernel beat the hell out of oem stock rom.
but at least they tried.
well try again next time, sony. try harder
sony just change number >>>

I was sarcastic. They might have made changes, but who knows? There's no noticeable change! It still has the major problems .587 had.

Like I said before on several occations, Gingerbread is light year ahead of this half-finished ICS wannabe.
In everything - period.
Beside fanciness and somewhat wider choice of apps, which will appeal to "up to date" type of users.
But everything (important) else is on side of GB really. Usability, performance, rock solidness, stability, gaming, etc etc...
As for me, I'm sick of waiting for something to happen, and then being slapped in face harder than before, over and over again.
I was using (torturing myself) ICS in last few weeks just for trying to make myself to like it, and hoping that new update will make it usable finally, but now...
I'm going back to GB for good, at least with this phone. This ICS experience made me appreciate GB even more than before. So, dear fast and usable GB, here I come. I'm sorry I ever left you.

Hi, I have SGP311 and just upgraded to 4.2.2 and i noticed a major drop in screen resolution, it is noticeable since the boot animation, all videos played from Movies, MxPlayer and so look crappy, the stock font also looks blurry. I was wondering if anyone has the same issue?

That's not good, I won't upgrade until this is responded too (not that i can update yet, I don't have OTA ....)
Can you do a screeny if you believe that it will be evident to see?

I would but it is not that evident, it came to my attention since the first boot after de XPERIA logo, the lines look extremely blurry in comparison with 4.1.2, I'm not that demanding in terms of screen res but i can notice it even with 1080p movies i used to play looking super crisp, also on Firefox and pdf's, I've been browsing threads but found no comments regarding this..I am looking for a downgrade but I'm a noob and dont want to brick this thing, I was hoping if someone could tell me if the right way to do it is via Flashtool + FTF file with full wipe??
I upgrade to 4.2.2 and do not have this everything is the same.... I find the scrolling on mine a lot better more fluid with the tip of the thumb..... only one thing so far but I will wait to make a battery drain and recharge to be sure but I find the battery is draining faster in sleep mode (stamina) I lost 4% leaving the tab doing nothing I thing it was better before. and also be able to root the device...... I like the new camera software in Superior auto .... Wifi also improved .....
I haven't experienced this, everything looks the same, and when doing a full screen application the top status bar disappears and the bottom bar icons turn into dots (less obvious), not 100% but I think the bottom navigation bar is not as tall as when it was a combined navi bar, if that's the case more screen real estate for full screen which may be causing your movies to not look as crisp as they need to fill in more room on the screen?
I'm not sure there is, but it may be a problem with assets (icons, stock wallpapers, etc.) if they're specifically optimised for the original bottom combined navi/status bar and now they're being stretched but any other content is just displayed within the boundaries of the bars without resizing or dpi change (just less being visible)
Just downgraded
I just downgraded to 4.1.2 and it is all back to normal, Im aware that it may sound like a thing of perception since the new notification bar was added an so but I swear its not, maybe its just my xtz..the only thing i miss is the speed of 4.2.2

No they're not done. They're just lazy.

Just some small thing with the notification area for exaqmple. Sometimes I can't swipe away notifications, they stay until i close the notification area... Clock color sometimes is grey instead of white.
And LG apps are weirdly slow since Pie, the audio recording app for example takes 1-2 secs for "opening the list..." everytime I go the list of my recordings and I stopped using the LG gallery app because animations aren't always smooth etc.
Dont get me wrong, it's all fine and usable, not bad at all It's just that things could be done.
