Let us know how you get on Dan. I've been contemplating it but haven't taken the plunge.

My phone isn't as bad as it was but I missed a call this morning due to slow wake up.

I can honestly say im gutted.... not only for not doing this two weeks ago but doing it along time before this, this is what a os should be like, no doubt its similar to other custom roms.everything works all apps work.even has its own custom locate my phone etc via online account

Apparently there will be a fix in 15 days, according to the article
http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2013/11/18/galaxy-s3-android-4-3-update-stopped-fix-urgently-needed/

This is no good to me, I'll be in China with a crap phone. Anyway hopefully it will be a good fix.

Anyway of getting notifications to show instead by default of the toggle switchs on swipe down?

Pulling the bar down in the right corner pulls down the settings tiles, further left pulls down notifications

I tried flashing earlier mine earlier with the link posted earlier in this thread, http://www.androidpit.com/cyanogenmod-installer-a-simple-solution , it didn't work for me. If anyone has any decent links/vids etc for how to do this I would appreciate it.

What was the problem?

I see the issue has made it onto the more mainstream news.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24995544

Might put a bit more pressure on Samsung to hurry another update.

touts

It even came up on the Tech slot on the Right Hook Last night. They were going to contact Samsung on it. I don't think Samsung/Vodafone will care until this becomes an issue in the media. Hopefully we'll start at least getting an answer from them.

It just said the update couldn't be done. Try using different cable, different usb on pc, try reboot, I tried all of this and still would not update.

Disable anti virus including windows defender should solve it. Had same problem

Do you loose your data, messages, installed apps, photos when you install CyanogenMod?

I rooted my phone last night. Trying to get out of this mess of an upgrade with something stable.

Install Helium or Titanium backup and backup everything to an external sd card first so you have a backup.

PowerHouseDan

Installing Cyanogenmod via installer also roots your phone in process.. Oh adblock how I missed you

Yeah I tried that but it wasn't playing ball still. I'll try again on a different machine and see how I get on.

Post from Samsung's Facebook Page tonight
https://www.facebook.com/SamsungIreland?fref=ts

Dear Samsung Ireland Community, we are still currently investigating the reported issues with the Galaxy S3 4.3 Jelly Bean update. We appreciate your patience while we work on this & as soon as we have further information, we’ll update you in a post on the page. We’d like to apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Followed by a comment in the same post to clarify

Hi All - Just to clarify, the above statement refers to Galaxy S3 only.

touts

"we are still currently investigating the reported issues"

Investigating REPORTED issues. Come to my house and I'll give you something to report!!!!

Bosh

This is the best Samusung can come up with almost 3 weeks later....

Pathetic. :mad:

Mad Benny

Going to give CyanogenMod another lash. Got myself another usb cable. It complained about the last one.

kiffer

Alarm didn't go off this morning... woke up in a panic upon hearing the message alert tone for an incoming email.
couldn't unlock phone, no other clock in room.
... blind panic as I have to catch a flight this morning.
Overslept by only 7 minutes...
No thanks to you Samsung.

Why didn't I put the bloody custom rom on ages ago? I was worried that it would be problematic and I wouldn't have time to fix it before I flew out.


Booo Samsung.

Smalls claims court must be looming on the horizon for Samsung at this point.

Ya I missed a flight last week partially because of my phone. Didn't ring when a taxi was outside my house. Today it keeps stuttering when playing music. Lovely.

One of the main reasons for changing to cyanogenmod, don't see myself changing from it either even if i get a new phone i'll be installing cyanogenmod straight away i would half say i'm thankful to samsung for opening my eyes...

Cyanogenmod and haxsync is perfect, only thing I miss is the Samsung calender because in month view you can see what each event is..

Ciderswigger

I keep finding new problems the longer I have this stupid phone.

A new one I only noticed today was that it keeps deleting my 9 favourite contacts. The only way I can ring someone is if I go into contacts and scroll down along the names. It's a pain in the hole!

And the slow lag is just breaking my heart. I can rarely answer a call but when I can, I can't hang up.

pippip

I read in the states at&t paused the rollout last week but started it again yesterday.

Read that also, maybe they fixed 4.3 quicksmart. Operators already pushed to S3 devices here ( I'm on meteor BTW). But how long until they push a patch to our phones. That's a separate bit of software to write.

I'll be keeping an eye on Kies for firmware checks.

TommyGun

I am really getting annoyed now. I've had to remove my battery twice today because it hung.

Just get this sorted.

I had a hard job installing it but it's on now . I had to uninstall AVG, reinstall the USB driver on the Windows 7 PC and enable debug mode on the phone before it worked.

I'm so glad to be rid of that crap Samsung update.

The only thing I miss is the weather widget. I downloaded the AccuWeather one but it has an advertisement on it. Will have to find another.

Thanks for recommending Cyanogenmod.

Ok, so I've JUST rooted my galaxy s3 and am looking to install a custom rom, how do I go about doing this, where do I get the cyanogenmod file from and is it just a drag and drop .apk job or is it more complex???


Any help appreciated!

touts

Newstalk are having a "gadget of the year" awards. They are looking for nominations. They are also looking for nominations on the WORST gadget of the year.

I suggest we all nominate the "Samsung Galaxy S3 following Jelly-Bean Upgrade". The only thing companies like Samsung understand is bad publicity.

To do so e-mail ghtech@newstalk.ie or tweet #ghtech

PowerHouseDan

There wasn't any need to root it yourself, download the cyanogenmod app on the appstore and go from there.

To be fair it's not just Samsung on this Vodafone are partially to blame also. They vet the firmware and add whatever else to it, so it's not jsut 100% samsungs fault.

Any sign of Vodafone fixing this or letting us downgrade again.. Paying 40 a month for this phone and its barely working

Guys, I have 2 S3's here in the office and both suffered from the update. However I have cleared the cache on mine and it has made it far better, maybe a few of you can try it out and port the results??

1: Power off phone
2: Hold Volume UP + Home + Power all at the same time until the phone powers up into recovery mode.
3: Use volume UP or Down to scroll down to Clear Cache and use power to select
4: Choose reboot and see how you get on.

Seems to make a difference..........................for now :rolleyes:

Has anyone that changed to cyanogenmod after this mess found that people find it harder to hear them on calls?

TakeTheVeil

I had to install Revolution HD 40.0 (4.3) with G-Lite kernal to fix my phone.

Battery life has jumped up exponentially.

I suggest everyone who is able, to do so.
