Regarding the 4.3 Upgrade - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recieved the OTA update for my i9300. I havent updated it yet because I am not certain if it will work flawlesly. I've been reading a lot of articles about the 4.3 update which have a lot of bugs but samsung promised to fix the issue yet I am not sure if it has been fixed for this update?

Well, I updated to 4.3 a few days ago and I did not encounter any major issues. In fact, there are only two issues that I have come across so far: there's a bit of lag when you unlock the phone (almost imperceptible). And I also encountered the "Samsung push service has stopped working" which I solved by uninstalling it from Google Play and then updated it. Everything else is working just fine.

Thanks Alex but regarding the lagg thou. It lags even if you're on full power not on power saving and also about the immense battery drain issue?

You should try another kernel like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2517756
This works pretty good on my device! I had the same issues as you before.

Yes, it "lags" on full power (I never turn on that power saving option). The screen turns on after a second or so after I press the home button/power button, when you swipe over the screen it works smoothly. As about battery drain, I use it very frequently so I charge it every day anyway. But yes, it seems to drain the battery a little bit more than before. I can come up with a more detailed answer about this in a few days.

Hi, if you don not like to wait for the official OTA updates, you could try Omega ROM.
The developer-team is very quick to take the latest Samsung releases and turn them into their custom ROM (including many useful features).
If you stick to the latest Omega ROMs, you always will have the latest Samsung based ROM on your phone (including the latest Samsung bugfixes). On top of that, the support in the Omega community is excellent.

Well to be honest sir I really am not fan of custom rom. I always stay on stock rom but rooted. Custom rom has a lot of issues on the default app. Most common are wifi, bluetooth, gps and a lot more so I always stay on rooted stock. This is just my opinion no offense intended.

Maybe you need to read a bit more on the Android development forums and find out the difference between types of custom roms .
Been running custom roms for years and never had those sort of problems .
Plenty of info on the board regarding 4.3 OTA .

Well I always read and ask for other's opinion before doing something on my phone. I dont want to have any bad experience since that I spend most of my time with my beloved phone. Now when I read out bug reports on the custom firmwares that was offered those are the common issues it might be a case to case basis but I dont want to take chances.

There are a lot of awesome custom ROMs out there, like WanamLite and Neatrom. These guys stick to the stock as much as possible, I have never seen them port things from other devices. IMO, problems occur when you start porting apps and functions or launchers from other devices. However, the XXUGML2 or XXUGML4 updates from Samsung work flawlessly. I am running ML4 on my device with ML4 kernel and MK6 modem and it is awesome.

Yes ML4 is stable.

Hi, no offense taken. I just wanted to share my experience. OMEGA is close to the stock ROM and if there were any bugs, they mostly came from the Samsung stock ROM. The difference is the update frequency. While it takes ages to get an OTA for your specific region / provider, most custom ROM developers take the latest release published by Samsung regardless of region and provider. Meaning, you will always get the latest and greatest.

I'm interested in XXLP2...

Hi guys!
I've been rather adamant to install ICS as I considered it to have too many bugs yet (like problems with video acceleration, unable to do a goddamn call, etc).
As of now I've been using the GB ROM Simple & Clean...Anyway, I'm not completely newbie to flash ROMs. I'm starting to think ICS might be becoming reliable already, so I'd like to give it a shot. So here come my questions:
Is there any XXLP2 (or better) ROM already prepared for CWM? I don't quite like the idea of using ODIN. (If so, is it too customized? I'd like a close to the original google experience)
Can you get back to a GB NAND backup if you don't like what you see?
Which would be your recommendation? Thank you!

There are quite a few cwm ICS roms which you can find in Android development section. Which means no bootloader flash and easy restore to older rom.
There are ROM's like infected,ics resurrection which are ics theme and replace Samsung apps with google alternatives in cases of calendar, gallery, camera etc.
My recommendation would be to wait for an official ICS or a more stable build by which time more aosp feel rom's would have become more stable, which didn't seem to be the case IMO. (the stock leaked one seems to be far more stable than these builds atm from my admittedly limited trial. )

You can try Bezke ultraics rom. i heard good reviews for it and i tried it myself, you can do so by using CWM. you can as well try the leaked ics but it only has TW because it is released by Samsung. this is done by ODIN.

I know, and I've seen the pattern so many times already. But that's decreasing with the time. Things are starting to get comfortable for people arriving, and some decide to stay. And since some are saying the ROMs are starting to be rather stable, I'd like to give them a shot.

Yes maybe but the majority of noobs want to flash ICS when they are not even capable of flashing stock . Two hours later they start posting help help .But i have of now given up on trying to guide users to learn first as its a waste of time .

So far not bad. I'm trying the Wanamlite, and it looks damn gorgeous. I'm having a hell of FC and random reboots. It's a pity. When it's not crashing or rebooting, it really performs beautifully. I could get used to the voice dictation so fast (forget about swype-dragon speaking combo). Since I didn't see people complaining about these reboots (that much), I take something went wrong on my side, so I'll give it another shot. Otherwise I'll try another ICS. I just feel it's getting rather close the date in which an stable version is released, and I'd prefer to jump from ICS already than from GB
used this thread to my actual try of LP2 :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1444651
full stock, only deodexed and CF-Root kernel.
After getting rid of all samsung hubs and SNS apks ( you can use the sitcky in themes and apps section started by Pulser_g2 for that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069924 ), no more force closes for me.
trying now KP* kernels as someone reported they could fix the random data connection loss present on LP2 when phone is asleep.

[Q] new to samsung galaxy s2

hi guys...i'm currently using samsung galaxy ace but i'm planning of buying a s2 in the next few days...but before that i have a few questions to ask...
1)there's so many ics rom out there,which is the official ics rom?i'm so confused
2)which is the best ics rom for s2?the official ics rom,or the custom ics rom?and please give me the link
3)is the ics build stable...any bugs?
4)how is battery life of this phone?i use moderate gaming,calls,sms and some wifi...can it last for 2 days?
i hope u guys out there can answer to my questions...i'm a newbie here and i hope that i didnt cause any inconvinience in any way....thx
1) There are several 'official' ICS builds released
2) There is no such thing as the "best ICS rom for SGS2". You have your phone setup differently to everyone else, you use your phone differently to everyone else and your phone came out of the factory slightly differently to everyone else's.
A rom that runs well for me might not run well for you.
I suggest you go the development sections of the forum & read the first few pages and the the last 10-20 pages of the particular threads devoted to different roms. That way you will get an idea of the features/pluses/minuses of each rom, and also see other users' experiences with that rom.
Then you can test different roms for yourself to find one that works best for you.
3) Yes. All the non-stock ICS builds have bugs of one kind or another.
4) Too many variables determine battery life to say 'the battery life of the phone is good/bad/etc. As per 2), it's determined by how you use the phone, how you have it setup, whether you have constant good signal where you live/use the phone (poor signal means less battery life) and a whole lot of other things. Can it last for two days ? If I only used my phone for a couple of calls & a bunch of SMS per day with the phone in idle the rest of the time, I could probably get more than a week out of a charge. But it's a smartphone, and who uses it like that ?
Best ics rom = cyanogen mod9

Like with any other phone. Devs will develop, something else comes along and off they go, some Devs continue to develop.
Back on topic, try out an official ICS rom first, there are a few as they are for different regions bit any non Asian firmware will work on the international I9100.
Then have a read through the custom roms and decide what's best for you, no one can tell what's best for you its just a matter of trying.
You've got plenty of choices, stock Samsung rom, custom Samsung rom, AOSP, AOKP, CNA and Miui.

I would recommend you Wajk's WIUI! I've been using it now for about 1 month and im overwhelmed by the functionality and the smoothness of this rom! The only thing is that it is no clean ICS that you actually wanted, but it is definitley worth a try for you

i'm from malaysia(asian country) so which official ics rom will work for me?could u give me the link??thx alot!!!
Whatever phone you buy I am sure you will find a good ICS rom that works well for you. Whether that is a "stock" samsung rom, or a custom rom like CM9, that depends. But isn't half the fun of these phones the fact that you can chop and change and try different things?
I'm using HyDrOG3N-ICS 23.03 and it seems pretty kick ass. Granted it only came out 2 days ago so I haven't had a long time to test it But I might decide to change to a different rom again soon who knows? I suggest you take a look in the "Galaxy S II Android Development" forum and look for posts with [ROM] in the name. Read about them and choose one that sounds cool. If you try it and it's not cool, just try another one
I was in a similar situation a few days ago. I had never used a custom rom on my S2 but after Samsung ICS update disapointed me, i decided to find one. I've tried quite a few, somes would have apps that crash all the time etc,some wouldn't boot. I even managed to soft brick my phone.
I then found Ressurection Remix that came with Vertemus' Domination theme.. Installed 9.6. Was great and i loved it. Then 1.0 came out, so decided to give it a try. And i can say that the speed difference was major. More fluid. Only issue i now have is that the domination theme is wierd in the notification menu ( hard to explain ... the black is just too... black on the items. its just a minor anoyance )
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436854&page=1589
To conclude, i think there is no perfect mod. I was really happy with 9.6 but when i tried 1.0 i noticed that the other version had a few issues.

[Q] CM10.1 on the GS2, any problems?

Well it appears that there are only nightly builds for the i9100, but I can't see any known problems.
This is my mum's phone, and she has been telling me it's really slow so I thought going from 4.0 stock to CM10.1 4.2 would really help that, with project butter and stuff.
She uses wi-fi tethering alot, and I've seen on alot of custom roms that that doesn't work, but as I said, I didn't see any known problems for the CM10.1 nightly build. I don't want to flash her phone with something that'll make her lose functionality.
Thanks guys

Install the samsung JB leak..I would not recommend CM since it is still under development. But there are no big issues i myself use it. But since its your mom's phone its better to keep it stock.
Also there isn't Project Butter in CM.
But did you flash with a full wipe? Quite strange your mom does notice it's very slow, because there are a lot of people (understatement) who are really satisfied with the performances of CM10.1.

Not your phone, not running stock & an 'average' user using it day to day sounds like asking for problems to me. And potentially a lot of you playing 'tech support'.
If it were me, I'd be leaving it stock.
Do a factory reset & a clean install of apps/etc if it's a bit sluggish (remember, you don't have first hand knowledge of this, just what she's told you & also remember she is an 'average' user, so it may be running just fine most of the time).
Why not Chameleon Rom?
I suggest to use this rom because it has the CM layout but its samsung base so no bugs

[Q] S3 slower...clean install or custom rom?

Hello there.
I have a i9300 for a year now and I've been doing the official upgrades by wifi, currently with 4.1.2 rom. Problem is I find It slower over time , especially opening contacts and multitasking, the redraw and reopen of programs takes some seconds, which is irritating. I know that having only 1gb of ram dosent help but do you believe doing a clean install would help? Or should I try a custom rom? I would very much love to install a custom rom but I read that some stuff don't work at all with them, is that true or is there one that is flawless that you recommend?
Thanks for the help.
Cheers
Custom roms and kernels address some of the issues. Touchwiz based custom roms always seem to suffer from contacts bring purged from memory. Aosp custom roms are much better at memory management but it depends if you can live without those samsung features.
Its worth reading the "basics" thread before rooting though. Its in general > sticky roll-up thread.
We wont recommend specific roms because its too subjective.
Please post questions in q&a
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
Thanks for your input, will do.
But can you name some examples of the features that won't work? Also, would it help to do a clean instalation of the stock rom, meaning, is the OTA upgrading process partially guilty of making it slower?
Cheers M8
Its not features that "don't work" in aosp roms (all features work) but that samsungs features aren't there. Only touchwiz roms have them. There are custom touchwiz roms too but as I said, its poor memory management remains which is part of what makes things seem slow
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 4
Please name some. I believe I don't use them. Are you talking about a beam? Or about programs that samsung puts in the rom. Sorry man, I am not understanding what you mean...

also aosp does not support the mhl hdmi out. that function will probably never work on aosp roms as Samsung mhl port for GT-I9300 is different in its design than standard mhl ports.
Thanks guys for the answer. I guess I will wait for the next update and see if it helps. Don't want to loose all those features.
Cheers!
Oh and all share cast. There are replacements for that although not sure if it requires new hardware if you have the samsung wifi dongle.
MHL is the big on though (cant believe I forgot it )

btw I wouldn't recommend it, I was trying it and it's preatty buggy and outdated. It doesn't have fm radio and it's using only bottom microphone for video recording (stock 6.0 uses both mics so there is stereo effect). It also doesn't support any new custom kernels because it wasn't updated for ages. The worst thing is that it slows down a lot after few days and you need to reboot. On stock 6.0 with squid kernel the performance drop wasn't that big, I was using it for 30 days without reboot and it was still pretty good.

I don't have any of those problems, except for msybe fm radio but I don't give a crap about that. But, I can flash squid kernel & I don't get performance drops often. So it's literally bug free for me. Maybe you should try flashing it again. After all, bad flashes happen.

Those issues you were describing are the exact issues I'm dealing with today on my current ROM a popular CM based true to form option-heavy, stability-light ROM. This is a shame as its been fairly reliable platform for me. The occasional issue that was easily remedied with a reboot, a restore or a reflash. The past few months have been bug after bug for me. Mostly a pesky incompatibility issue with my ROM and OpenGapps.
Its seems all I've been doing lately is testing alternative gapp pkg sources, kernels and mods.
What makes this issue the real tops though is that the ROM I use was just listed as "Official" and "Stable" last month. There may be a weekly update waiting in the basket for me but the basket build server is down.
So....?
Not sure where to go from here. I'll tell you this much though. When I decided to try and root this device 8 months ago I had no idea it involved so much. I can almost write my own svripts, I'm understanding the bugreports I generate and read and i haven't spent this much time in a ToyBox since I was 9.
Lol. I'm not complaining though... I love to learn.
Oh and I still haven't tried the ROM you recommended as of yet. PC seems buggy now too.
