The most slower S3 firmware ever been use.
The most terrible rom......
This really discouraging me to move away from this phone.
Compare with day 1 owning this S3 back in May 2012, I really want to go back to the oldest version of rom.

Yesterday i flashed back to ale8 because i screwed something up by accident and then went through every OTA and tried them for interface speed and honestly, the difference between 4.0.4 and 4.1.1 are neglidgeable so you must have had a bad flash or something. Try redoing it or wiping and starting from scratch.

I just got the official ICS Upgrade From AT&T

I plugged my phone in and it said an update was available.
I checked for an Over The air and nothing, then I plugged it into
my PC and launched Kies, and it showed an update was available.
Ran the update and it is ICS 4.0.3
If I would have been smart I would have taken screen shots of how
I had my screens, now I have to try and remember how I had them.
Please try to keep this thread on topic
.
Give us some details and some screen shots or it didn't happen

Yep just saw that it is official. Cool. To bad it isn't 4.0.4 though.

Do you loose root and CWM after the update? Otherwise I would wait for a custom ROM that has it all and is bloat ware free.

Yes. Either that or the update will fail. It's just not a good idea to try an official update while rooted.
Hmm im wondering if mobile odin could help retain both bootloader and root

Lucky man. Any chance they're doing this in phases so their servers don't get overloaded? That's the only reason I can think why there's so many people, including myself, not getting the update.
Don't worry fellas after the update your phones will look exactly like they do now with all the Samsung and AT&T bloat, a hint of lag and worse battery life.

Galaxy S 2 battery

Hi guys,
I got the ICS update from Samsung a month back in India. I am not too happy with it. It is not as smooth and it takes up a lout of ram. Of late I have been getting very little battery backup. It gives me only 3/4 of a day with light use. What could be the reason? Are there apps that I need to delete or remove our make some changes? Please help.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
So I guess you are using a stock ROM. Can you tell me which version?
One of the problems (or not) is that when you update via Kies all the user data/apps remain the same. That's why I would prefer doing a wipe before upgrading so that my device will not be clogged with lots of processes.
How much screen time do you get? If you can, post a screenshot of the battery consumption.
What's your modem/baseband?
Yes you are right. I am on stock rom. Haven't had the guys to root and instal custom rom on such an expensive phone. As you say I didn't do a wipe out before I upgraded on Kies. I am on 4.0.3 and base band I9100DDLPA.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I am having the same concern now, not like the stockics very much, it is slower( scroll list in system settings..), hot after a while. Maybe we can consider to choose cm9 or other custom roms.

I am a noob and I need help :(

Hello all,
I am the proud new owner (first time android owner as well) of a Galaxy S3 SGH-1747, and I am still learning the ins and outs of the phone but so far I am loving this thing.
However, I did run into some issues when I did an install of a ROM AOKP Task & KToonsez ROM. The first major problem is that my computer will now not read my phone, whereas before it was able to register it. I know I have the correct drivers installed and I have the android usb debugging thing box checked in my settings. I have tried several different USB ports now thinking it might be that but they all do not read it. As smooth as this ROM is, it is still in the early stages and there are a lot of bugs and kinks that need to be worked out still so I would like to either switch back to the stock ROM or aim for a more stable one. I am not sure how I can do either of this without a copy of the original touchwiz ROM on there.
Please help me figure this problem out lol.
Flash your nandroid. I'm sure you made one like you're supposed to.

But ever since I installed this ROM my computer stopped reading my phone, it won't even show up on kies either. I am trying right now a factory reset and wipe but it just keeps going back to the same rom.

A factory reset won't make your phone stock man...you need to Odin the stock ROM ...(link I provided) back to your phone.

Ok, one last stupid question for you though. How would I be able to do this if my computer is not reading my phone? I have Odin installed and all that jazz but the phone will not register on the computer. Will Odin still read it even though it's not showing up under my computer?

I'm not flashing roms on my s3 yet so I'm not positive but doesn't aosp roms take the Google drivers, not the Samsung ones? I know with the captivate on cm9 I had to install them.

I wish to De-brand my SGS3 from T-Mo UK to debloat/streamline

Hi guys, looking to find out what stock image i want..
Hiya guys...I have recently aquired a SG3 -how do i know which stock ROM i want, im in the UK and am using Marks AMAZING Toolkits/w to root etc but have decided i want to flash a stock ROM first....the tool gives me a list of 4 to download...
Are they region/carrier specific? I am a t-mobile customer and just wish to de-bloat their crap down to a stock Samsung ROM before deciding on a decent ROM for this pocket rocket!
Do i need to flash a T-Mobile relevant ROM still?
Best Regards

Does that ROM include my necessary modem or are they a separate requirement....like for instance....radios
P.S. Thanks very much indeed
Modem and radios are the same. Yes it includes everything u need. Everything u have on stock minus most of the bloat.
There will still be bloatware, but u can delete it with titanium backup from playstore. Find a list with all the safe to remove bloatware (google search) first!

Note 2 newb just unlocked

Hi guys, I am very new to the Note 2. I just unlocked and rooted the latest ota using Casual. Thanks to Adam Outler and everyone else involved. So my question is which ROMs are compatible with this ota? Basic question I'm sure. I came from the Razr and the kernel had to match so I assume its the same here? Anyone willing to shed some light on this for me would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app
Any rom you want as long as it is in the VZW Note 2 threads can be flashed ours arent locked down by what update we are on because our bootloader is unlocked where it isnt on Moto phones. AOSP roms require AOSP kernels as TW roms require TW kernels. The roms come with kernels though so that isnt something tk worry about unless you I want to.
The only thing to remember is if you go to a 4.2 rom and want t I go back to 4.1 you have to flash a downgrade zip so your SD card doesnt become corrupted. You can find the downgrade zip in the Official CM 10.1 thread in the OP.
Check out Droidstyles guide in Android Development, its a sticky, it explains quite a bit and would ne helpful to you I think.

Thanks for the info. Exactly the answers and info I was looking for. I just flashed CleanROM and went through the flashing process. When it got to the end and said finish to reboot it just turned off and wouldnt turn back on. Couldn't get to recovery or download mode. I had to pull the battery and then turn it on. It went straight to the new ROM though without a hitch. Is that a normal part of the flashing procedure on the N2? The battery pull I mean, or did I miss something?

Thats not a normal thing to happen, but it does happen occasionally. As long as it boots up after the battery pull I wouldnt be too worried by it. I have had it happen to me before and after the battery pull I experienced no issues whatsoever.

CleanROM's good. It was the first ROM I flashed when I got my Note II too.
Eventually though, you may want to switch to something more feature-rich like Jelly Beans, which is what I'm rocking now. The features it adds are pretty awesome and you get full touchwiz functionality (S-Pen and the like) with the look of AOSP.
DL'ing Jelly Beans now. Gotta make a new TiBu before flashing though. Will give it a go shortly. My wife fusses at me sometimes cause on my old phone (Razr) and on this one I am always flashing different ROMs. She especially hates it when she calls and my phone goes directly to voicemail cause I am in recovery flashing a ROM or kernel.

Hi all, I'm feeling like a n00b on the Note too, and really appreciate the help all of you seem to be willing to share with each other. I'm not new to modding phones, recently I've been through an S3, DNA, RAZR HD and M, and even another Note 2. I made the mistake of swapping the Note 2 for an iPhone 5, and regretted it about thirty seconds later. Now that's my wife's phone, and due to the grace of another (local) xda member, I'm back rockin' the Note 2. This time around in looking forward to getting into some serious flashing and tweaking to get the most from the hardware. I've decided this is Verizon's best phone at the moment, with everything I need.
Don't worry, you're not alone in having a wife who gets annoyed at flashing and tweaking. Happens to me all the time, but I use the excuse it's one of the few hobbies that I have which doesn't involve the rest of the family and I need a bit of alone time. It kind of works as an excuse until the point where I need to use it again.
I'm looking forward to being part of this community and wanted to say hello.

I like jedi X rom...I got 3 days off my battery with just the right settings...my recommendation is to not mess with the per app dpi for the settings app because now I'm stuck without a settings app and about to switch roms...just about any rom will work as long as it's for your carrier... Best of luck!
