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

      Official Tmobile-Sprint merger discussion thread

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
