Can someone confirm whether or not the home screen redraw issue is fixed on LG8 or not? Thanks a lot.
Okay, I give up. What is "the home screen redraw issue?" I will be installing LG8 in a couple of days. Now on LG2.
BTW, it would help to tag your title as "Sprint" somehow. And maybe mention the actual issue in the title. This forum is messy enough.

Firstly i have the international version. And the home screen redraw means reloading of all the widgets on the homepage and on the dock when you press the home button after using some apps for a long time such as browser and youtube

Then it would be helpful to say something in the title about 1) International version and 2) the actual issue in question. (There happens to be an "LG8" update pending for Sprint, which makes the thread title doubly ambiguous.) Original posters, I believe, can edit their thread titles.

The issue is still there. It happens every now and then. It probably will until Jelly Beans is released for the S3.

I have LG8 on my Sprint device and I get the redraw sometimes. Usually when I have power saver on with the CPU restricted.
So why do you think that v L710VPLG8, an OTA update specific to the Sprint SPH-L710 model, has anything whatsoever to do the the International version OS that coincidentally ends with "LG8?"
It's bad enough that this forum mashes all the carrier (and country) version of the GS3 together as a spaghetti mound of confusion. The only hope for sanity is to have individual threads that are carrier-specific handled expressly alone. But when moderators themselves conflate different carrier-specific technical issues within the same thread, even that hope for sanity disappears.
While I can't find any official info on the international version's of LG8, from the forum talk, it appears that the Sprint LG8 also got the same update, just modified enough to work with the Sprint version. The only exception was the universal search being returned. Sprint users didn't get that back. That is why I posted what I did, as it appears the updates are similar enough to draw comparisons across.
I was also the one who modified the thread to read [Int'l Version], so I was aware that I was posting about a Sprint update on an Int'l thread. However, like I said, I felt that the updates were similar enough to draw a comparison. If you disagree, or wish to further add to the discussion of splitting the GS3 forum into sub-carriers, please feel free to add to this thread: http://androidforums.com/suggestion...we-separate-forums-different-s3-versions.html

No, thanks. That thread is just a sink for griping that no one reads. I'm more inclined to comment on ambiguous information or misinformation in specific threads, correcting specific factual problems where they occur.
I do disagree with your specific conflation of the two "LG8" updates for different devices. What you "felt" is not material, nor is it factual. These are carrier-specfic OTAs from carrier-specific development forks, and Samsung's naming convention of the same trailing least-significant three characters in both is just coincidence. It is just the way they get named based purely on date. The most significant part of the firmware version name is controlling. It identifies the OEM/carrier model.
EDIT: To educate yourself about the naming conventions for Samsung firmware, read this handy reference. The conincidence of two releases for two different devices happening to share the same last three characters is purely an artifact of the calendar.
