Hey Guy's,

Im having a similar issue, my Samsung was stuck on the Samsung logo, so decided to reload software (via ODIN) problem is now, it still doing the same thing, but now i want to try and load the OS again, but now Odin is not picking up the Phone completely? It is a I9300.

Go into system systems and clear the cache.

Anyone else got the official 4.3 update during the weekend? I downloaded it to my (previous) phone and my wife's - can't see major differences, but I'm pretty used to 4.3 on my Note 3. It does have the new lockscreen, notification bar and tabbed settings menu, but nothing else that gets me excited. It looks like it still uses the old camera app (no 360 / photosphere etc.)

Got the official 4.3 on Friday (about 450 MB). Not seeing much difference from 4.1.2, except that the lockscreen weather feature disappeared :mad:
The camera app has a HDR shooting mode, but cant remember if it was previously there.

Hey all,

Is there a huge performance difference between this 4.3 update to the latest 4.4 ? Tired of waiting for official updates for my S3 and just want to be on the latest from now onwards. Lastly, how do i backup all my data with sms and phone log history, i prefer to keep these intact as much as i can :)?

Contract/prepaid makes no difference.

The update just check your phone's sales code + sim combo.

XFA should always get it first.

guys is anyone having freezing issues on the official 4.3 update?

Yes.... After the update, my s3 lagged at times. Then less than 2 days after the update, whilst the phone was on charge and not being used, it hard bricked. Nothing works, no reset, doesn't charge etc.

Wonder if anybody else has had this. I see lots of similar complaints on overseas forums, but none here yet.

Temasek is great. No major issues besides an unstable camera. But it hasn't been problematic recently.
