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.

Haven't noticed better lte. My house is in the fringe. And I connect sporadically about the same amount at before. I'll try to take note of dbm next time.

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

And I thought it just might be fluke but I'm getting better lte performance too. Kinda weird.

I manually installed via zip file and my question is can I install this on the boost mobile version of the galaxy s3 or is that a bad idea. I read somewhere that it works just fine.

 

If it isn't meant for the device it will fail.

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

 

How do I get to the "downloads" section...

I've tried every clear I can think of...  Driving me nuts right now..

 

hmmm. apparently it was just the 23423 time hitting clear that seemed to take?

Mine came OTA last weekend. Works pretty well out of the box, but I did need to redo my sounds and I don't like that you need to disable motion to make camera flash not light up when calls and texts come in.

After updating to 4.3, one thing I've noticed is when you open a folder on a homescreen, it stays open even after you hit the home button to go back to the homescreen. I think it was when they pushed the last update (when we got the premium suite) they fixed that issued. Now it seems it's back again. Hopefully they'll fix that again as it's pretty annoying.

Received the 4.3 OTA update last weekend, seems like the phone runs smoother, snappier, and the display seems more crisp.  I did a factory reset on my S3 when after I downloaded the update.  Couldn't be more happier.

I highly recommend the factory reset after updating. My phone is behaving better than ever.

 

I picked up a galaxy gear pretty cheap and can confirm it does work with the S3 after the update.

I have a question. Since updating to 4.3, is there anyway of stopping widgets from showing up on lock screen? Same goes for text messages being received. It's very annoying. An example is in dropbox link. Help is much appreciated.

There is a "preview" setting in messaging, but that also turns off the preview in the notification bar.Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

I just seen that. It sucks there isn't an option to turn off one or the other, and preview not showing on notification bar.

I don't see any options within the lock screen settings to disable it. I ended up installing a replacement lock screen app from the Play Store. It's fine, but I use a live wallpaper, and rather look at that instead of the wallpaper selection that I'm given. :(

I did a factory reset and it still isn't any better. Before I allowed the update I was good for the whole day on a charge. Now I am lucky to get 5 hours. I really wish I had kept it stock and not updated. I should have done some research before I hit ok.

Can't you just replace the default "clock or personal message" lock screen widget with anything else? You could download, for example,

Dashclock: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.nurik.roman.dashclock&hl=en

or Chronus: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dvtonder.chronus&hl=en

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
