well for me i encountered the problem of not hearing the caller from the app like viber, kakaotalk etc. when i also updated to the latest firmware, but i did not bother because i did not have any problems with the my ordinary phone calls.
i have updated to a different firmware with the higher build than before, unfortunately i havent tried or tested the mentioned problem with the new firmware.
i'll be back when i do or if someone calls me with the apps.
Update:
still i encounter the problem. i think the only solution as of now is just revert back to the previous firmware (no galaxy gear compatibility update)

hmm honestly i dont know what stock rom / firmware specifically or maybe the I9152XWUAMJ2 firmware would be the one as it is the october build.
try to get that firmware and then download odin to flash your phone back to that firmware
if you are not familiar in using odin and flashing a firmware / stock rom, just try to scan the forums for that simple guide.
also i never did went back to the old firmware, i just let it go for a while and hope that either a new firmware update would fix it or the app side instead would.

Hy guys
I'm new to Android and 2 months ago i bought a new phone (S G S II) with Android 2.3.6.
I decided it's time to upgrade and i did it with odin, folowing youtube video guide i instaled Android 4.0.3 with i think a new Kernel as well 3.0.15-I9100xxlph-cl118559.
Now with this update i have a problem with my location, everything that uses this facility it doesn't work (location,gps,facebook check in) and so on.Don't get me wrong at first with 2.3.6 they all worked after the upgrade they simply stoped.
What would realy help me is a sugestion of a kernel,ROM and a version of Android 4 (.0.1/2/3/4) that would fully work and indications on how to install them.
I thank you guys in advance and keep up the good work :good:

Download the latest stock firmware using CheckFus entering data for your phone and location. Flash this firmware with ODIN as you already did. Using CheckFus should make sure you get the correct firmware.
This will not lock my phone on the specific carrier (orange) right?
Lock to a carrier? No, not by just flashing a stock firmware.
And after i download the firmware that checkfus says is the last one how to i operate with odin?
Can you please tell me the steps i have to go trough? because last time i saw a video and i did exactly like there so i don't know on my onw.

There are many threads here that tell you how to use Odin, one of which is by Intratech. These threads will help you flashing the firmware you downloaded with CheckFus. Just read them carefully and follow the instructions. Videos are nice but in the end a written text is much better, belief me, it is worth the time of reading
Well i did as you said and it worked,finaly i can enjoy my phone fully and i discovered i have NFC
Thanks for everything
Hello, I am receiving an official update on my S3 device by ota, It says the amount of 419.04MB. I suppose it is Android 4.3.
But this update is recomended? Does it have any problem, or lag, or Samsung fixed it on the update?
Please tell me if it is correct to update my mobile or not.
Regards and thanks to all of you.
For me it lagged extreme!
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3
ROM: CyanogenMod 11 (Temasek Unofficial V36 )
Kernel: Boeffla-Kernel-CM11-2.1-Beta9-
Version UGML4 is fine, a slight lag on waking from deep sleep but battery life is excellent.

In that topic they only talk about custom updates, rooting, or recovery. Not about the official update I am looking for...

Update your phone via a "SMART TERMINAL" or KIES.
I updated via OTA when I got home. The update went smooth... but the phone got awful slow/laggy/terrible.
A few days passed and I found a Samsung shop. Went in and saw an "update terminal."
After it finished, the phone was buttery smooth again.
Please note, that encryption will be MUCH SLOWER. So you cannot use it encrypted anymore. At least not like you used it. It will lag, it will stutter, all the crap you can imagine. Lucky I have insurance and I use a powerful password. So even if I get robbed I can reset the phone from home and get a new phone for cheap.
But yeah, I do miss the encryption feature, I felt safer that way. But it just got way too slow.
I even took the phone back to Samsung as in warranty repair, but they told me the policy says they can't downgrade so they just pushed up the 4.3 rom all over again. Meh.

Try going to sammobile and reflashing 4.4.4, when I initially flashed the OTA my Bluetooth stopped working in my truck. I reflashed and everything worked as advertised. I'm now on cyanogenmod 12 it's awesome!

Hello,
Which model do you own? If its G850A then you're out of luck, since there are no downloadable firmwares online and you're stuck with Lollipop. If not then it might be your devices issue since there havent been any bug reports such as overheating on KitKat.
So no, there is no way to downgrade your current software unless your model is G850F.
Best regards,
James

Now, my build number version is bnk3. I didn't update it to lollipop.I just updated it from the about device menu and It is still kitkat. I think It was just for fixing bugs but My problems stated to show right after that.
hello
i have a issue on this device,u upgraded it to lolipop 5.0.1 i didnt liked it and downgraded to 4.4.4 kitkat and its overheating when im playing or surfing in facebook,twitter,instagram for not big time :\\\ pls hlp how to fix it
Hello I had problems with overheating with kit Kat and found out that one of 8 cores was at 100%, I found out that step meter in s health causing this problem. So I tried to pause the step meter with no luck.
finally I stopped the s health app and because I couldn't uninstall it. And the problem solved.
so give it a try. Try to disable s health app.
Ps. Not only overheating, but emptying battery was an issue that solved too.
Please help me, I have a galaxy alpha g850f lollipop 5.0.2 fingerprint sensor does not work Is there a solution to this problem?
Hi xda
I am new to this site, so sorry in advance if this thread is posted in the wrong section of the forum. Please let me know if Im doing something incorrect.
Anyways, my problem is, that I have two SGS3's both flashed to cm-13.0-20160217-NIGHTLY-i9300 (older versions have been tried out as well), where one of them can't make or recieve calls. Everything else works on it - send and recieve texts, mobile data etc. (the IMEI and serial number are both original and intact). Both the phones were originally running the Android Jellybean 4.3 Nordic version (I9300XXUGND5_NEEGND1_Nordic_4.3), and both were flashed using twrp 3.0.0.1 (and running GAPPS 6.0 pico).
I find it strange, that the phone is able to make and recieve texts and access the mobile network, while not being able to make or recieve calls. Anyone got any idea as to why this is a problem?
It should be noted, that the phone has no trouble at all when running the stock Android 4.3 or CrDroid Android 5.1.1.
The two phones are completely identical, and only one of them has trouble with calls on cm-13.0-20160217-NIGHTLY-i9300 (and any other version of cm for that matter).
Hope somebody knows what the problem is.
