I live in Texas so timezone shouldn't be a factor. I forgot to mention that when I remove the setting for "Automatic Time and Timezone" the phone eventually selects them again on it's own. T though that was really strange because I should be able to set the system time myself and correct this issue but everytime I do it, it lasts for a few days and reverts back to Automatic Time.

Howdy Y'all - I have an issue that comes and goes with the system time on my GS3 and Note 2, I have also had friends over that had the same issue occur on their Sprint device. The problem started around 12/20/12 with the system clock (set to "from network" and network set time zone as well) being behind by 1 hour. That problem would come and go and I assumed it was an issue with the device so I did a hard reset. Then it came back, presented itself on my wife's Note 2, my Note 2 and various Sprint devices while at my home. If I leave this area the issue eventually corrects itself and if I reboot outside of my home cell the problem is resolved. Recently I have had the clock go really haywire, showing not only the wrong time by 1-10 hours but the wrong date and year as well. Obviously this impacts everything, calendar, meeting makers, email times, texts, alarms, etc. I have opened several network tickets with Sprint but they can't seem to identify the issue or correct it. I'm thinking if it was the tower then it should impact all users in my sector and Sprint is saying no other users have reported it. My question is, when WiFi is enabled does the system time still come from the tower? BTW I do have an Airrave 2.5 but it has been unplugged for months do to the duplicate texts issue so it is not a factor. Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated.

Just a heads up, hopefully we will see it roll out to other devices soon.

Just an FYI if you haven't wasted your money yet. The case is falling apart after very light use. The edge band around the cover is peeling off and the cover seems to be de-laminating. Save your money and buy something else. IMHO

You will receive it sometime before 8/13

I know someone who had the same issue and it did correct it. In addition to the battery the phone was lagging really bad before he cleared the cache.

If you go into the boot menu on start up (volume up + power) there is a way to reflash/ wipe partition cache. Try that

Yes, had to re-calibrate the battery and now all is well.

got updated yesterday

Since I live a few miles away from the closest LTE enabled tower I stayed in CDMA only mode, LTE mode was eating up power. The optimizer was also draining the battery before I received the update to PLG8. Now the optimizer seems to work properly and the cell standby power drainage in LTE mode is mo better due to the threshold changes that were made.

It won't, unless you are on 1.9Ghz CDMA and a roaming contract is in place with that carrier.

I tested between two different Sprint devices (GS3 & Photon) and the images were not video clips.

I am not having that problem, just tested it to be sure. The file is received as a JPEG.

Received the firmware update last night............. I will update when I know if it has fixed the optimizer or not.

- KI – Touch Wiz home has stopped - Single picture MMS no longer displayed as slideshow - Optimized LTE system selection - Enhanced Smart Stay function - Enhanced Voice recognition algorithm - All-Share Cast (All-share accessory hub) support - Music Hub support - Security Fixes

BAM! Software Update L710VPLG4 7/25/12 http://support.sprint.com/support/article/Find_and_update_the_software_version_on_your_Samsung_Galaxy_S_III_smartphone/case-fk158645-20120629-165043?&INTNAV=SU:DP:HDIA Hopefully this resolves those issues.

IN some of the larger markets the initial coverage is less than 10%. A market with 380 towers may only have 20 live with LTE. I also think that of those 20 towers there are some IP tunneling or back plane issues that allow you to connect to the tower but are dropping packets. People need to understand what is really going on before they pass judgement. Once all towers are groomed it will be worth the wait.

I am having this issue as well. The wifi is on but will not reconnect to the remembered network. I have had to reboot after trying to reconnect, disabling wifi, deselecting the optimizer, and it still wouldn't reconnect. I was 10 feet from the router so it was a strong signal. I was not having any issue prior to the last software update OTA.

Yes, but when I wake up the screen it start playing. I think this may be by design

Tested LTE today, 18.4M

Can you provide any details on the problems with S-Voice?
