issues after software update 4.1.2, build xxema2

[joemonkey]

i did the updated recently and i have encountered a few issues thus far. i have the GT-I9300 version

- incoming call sometime does not ring even though phone is not on silent mode. then the same person calls again, the phone rings
- sometime the phone just freezes and the only way out is to remove the battery

has anything have the same issues? i never had these issues before the upgrade, this is very frustrating.

It is quite common that certain system files of older OS, collide with the updated new ones. It is good to back up the phone and factory restore just to clear the phone of any left overs. I personally have't come across such issues as yours, but others, like inability to charge via USB or self reboot.

All of which has been sorted out with the factory reset.

So many people have had to reset for some reason or other after getting JB that id recommend everyone back up and reset when they get it to avoid future stress :thumbup:

i did a reset and i have not noticed the issues i had so far. i did backup all my apps. unfortunately i had to re-create all the music playlists because i did not know how to even backup playlists. it took a while using kies but i am happy that i did a hard reset and the phone seems to be stable now.

thank you everyone for suggesting that.

I've been working on my wife's s3. The stock messaging app wouldn't ring no matter what I did. I finally installed Handsent and all works again. It was nice to find this thread. If she has more trouble I'll try the reset.

i am sure not everyone had to do a hard reset after the upgrade. for those you had, including myself, it was a pain nevertheless.

i normally do not jump right in every time an upgrade is available even when i get the notification stating new software is available. i know every upgrade comes with bugs from phone to computer to..etc. i think i made a mistake by selecting 'auto update' and last time i power off/on my phone, the upgrade was done automatically. i just de-selected the auto update which gives me the option to manually upgrade on my own time.

this is very odd. my s3 starts to freeze up again after the last hard reset. so i did yet another hard reset but the freeze still happening. the only way out is to remove the battery.

anyone else has the same issue with freezing? what else can i do at this point since i already did TWO hard reset.
