Samsung S3 jellybean 4.3 now available

[Riaan335]

I did OTA update.

It seems battery life is improved somewhat. My phone/dialer app(stock) and sms app(also stock) are somewhat laggy though.

The gallery looks a bit different, and some icons looks different, and then there is the "S4" settings menu. But that's about it. Not really sure if it's worth the 472MB, but if you after Samsung Gear functionality, and improved battery life, it might just be worth it.

Some questions

Any differences in features etc?
Is it worth downloading?
Will it overwrite data on the phone?

Not much difference, a few cosmetics here and there on HTC One - Most features you notice everyday is from Sense not so much Jellybean. Maybe other hidden "features" like better battery life might make it worth it. Undecided so far if it is a definite "must have" update

No data overwritten I could see:thumbs:

For all the Samsung S3 uses, the JB 4.3 update was finally released for i9300 S3 on Friday 14th Feb
This update is for XFA code phones (thats usually the ones not linked to a network)
The XFE and XFV updtass not yet available
Best would be to connect to samsung Kies through PC or laptop as it tends to show up easier, mine didnt pick it up OTA

Keep in mind its a very large file so if your are not on a data plan then just beware that you dont run up a massive bill

Just thought id let you know

I think battery life is slightly longer

If you got the balls, there are a few 4.4.2 ROMS for HTC one out at the moment.

Really such a pity Nexus phones are not sold here.
