It's supposed to be around 30%. But I'll believe it when I see it. Especially on Sprint.

Sounds like a plan to me. I will definitely start working on it.

This will be something to keep watch on.  Apparently the S3 is causing problems at least enough on US Cellular for them to offer replacements for some S3 owners.  Some speculate it could be the source of the problem in the Sprint Chicago market (which apparently is pretty bad right now all over)

Interesting. Why just Chicago?

Interesting. I've not had issues on my GS3, unless Sprint is working on the towers in my area.

Sprint has typically released the S3 updates before other carriers so I'm not sure what you mean.

Does anybody have any knowledge (or rumor) of the new release date for 4.3 for the Sprint GS3?

May take longer than we originally thought. Seems like the international version is no longer updating to 4.3 and the update may have been pulled due to various bugs and poor battery life. So sprint might be holding off too.

This may not be a bad thing.

Here is one link (out of many) that are now reporting on the issue:

Download the following update zip and place it on your external sd. Go to settings/security and make sure unknown sources is unchecked.

 

Shut off phone. Press volume up, power and home button at the same time. As soon as you see a flash, let go of the buttons. This will put you in stock recovery. Using the volume bar to select and power button to activate, select update from external storage. Choose the file you previously put there. Push your power button. Your update will begin.

 

This is only for those with STOCK unrooted phones with STOCK recovery.

After a couple of hours, not a bad upgrade. It was real laggy for the first couple of hours. Has settled down and seems a lot smoother then 4.1.2 because of TRIM I'm assuming.

 

Minor cosmetic changes in  certain apps and fonts. New 4g and 3g like i mentioned above. 

 

Disappointed that samsung doens't allow lockscreen widgets when you have a secured lockscreen (password/pattern/pin). Stupid. 

But I do like daydream

 

If anyone is having the persistant notification bug that shows old jpg downloads. Just do a clearall in the downloads section.

Are you noticing increased late performance? At home I usaully get anywhere from -107 dbm to -115 dbm. Now last night and this morning have had constant -99dbm to about -102.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      I haven't had the opportunity to test or map Dish here in NYC but they have tons of sites. I'm fairly certain that at this point they have contiguous coverage across the city, and in some places they likely have better coverage than the incumbents. I still think their weird split branding and lack of advertising is what's killing them, not the network.  I have no idea what they were thinking by launching a sub-brand for people to beta test their network and then another sub-brand specifically for postpaid service, and not even with the guarantee that it uses their network. They need to get rid of everything and start with a clean slate.

      Drove the entire 101 out on the Olympic Peninsula over the weekend and was able to map a number of TMO sites which weren't previously mapped. Also, did it in my Mach E (electric car). The Tesla Superchargers (especially the one in Forks, WA) made the whole trip SUPER easy.

      Dish Network/Boost Mobile cell/5G buildout thread

      Ok so I signed up for service through Boost Infinite, I ended up getting the Motorola Razr got it today.  They sent the rainbow SIM 2.0 card.  Activation was a breeze, connected to Dish's native network (n70 and n71), took the phone out and... IMPRESSED with their network!  Getting 200 to 300Mbps over n70 and around 50 to 60 on n71 no coverage drops!  Gosh I hope Dish can get it together, VoNR was crystal clear as well.  Paying $25.00 a month for the Infinite plan and $10.00 for the Moto Razr.  Amazing deal... will do more testing this evening when I get more time.  But so far from what I'm seeing Dish needs to stay in the fight. Just rebrand off of damn Boost and call it Dish Wireless...
