I haven't actually installed the firmware myself yet, despite JB having been so buggy for me because I've never flashed Roms or anything so wouldn't know how to fix it like some of you would if it made things worse somehow. The reason is I was worried they might have brought back the fully-charged battery beep/vibrate that this phone had when running Gingerbread. This didn't bother most people but I'm a light sleeper and charged my phone at night by my bedside! (Or obviously say if you notice any other bad things about the update).Seriously. You never experienced any lag whatsoever or problems with streaming video? o.0
Were you running stock settings? If so maybe it's to do with your usage. Maybe you're a light user or only do certain things with your phone. Either way you got extremely lucky not to run into any issues.
On a side note, it wouldn't have told you to factory reset but it's often worth doing after a firmware upgrade/update. That being said, if you're having zero problems then you're fine as you are. Hell, you probably didn't even need the update in that case you lucky SOB

Hey people, glad to see some responses, hope me bringing it to your attention helped.
I don't have any reason to believe that they have brought back the buzz/beep, especially as it's not some big OS change like JB was, I'm just being VERY cautious because before the JB update fixed it I was thinking of selling the phone purely because of the un-turnoffable beep/vibrate!
Could anybody who has installed the firmware be so kind as to fully charge their phone and see if there's an annoying buzz/beep?
I'm such a light sleeper >.> and my bedroom is really the only convenient place to charge it.Thanks
I would have thought the beep was a good idea if you could set it not to go off during certain (sleeping) hours! I'm fine with saving energy, or just being notified in case you've decided to leave the house once your phone is fully charged or something but since it needs charging at least every 24hrs and I'm often out during the day it usually has to charge at night. I'm not energy conscious enough to want to wake up just so I can unplug it!
just put your phone on mute when you sleep. Even if you have an alarm set it will still sound
**update**
So I just reflashed MC8 and updated to MF1 via Kies (OTA has a queue, Kies is instant). Gonna factory reset after it's all booted up then i shall test the waters to make sure they fixed things. If they have then I'm happy. Only took them around three months to patch their shoddy firmware.
Even on mute the phone still beeped and vibrated when it was fully charged. That's why there are apps on the Play market specifically to turn it off on Samsung phones. Unfortunately the apps aren't fully compatible with the GA2 and at most can turn off the beep; it still vibrated. I had to sleep with my phone place near my bed on a pillow so it didn't wake me up. >.> The screen coming on was a bit annoying too so good that that's gone? Also it shows that I wasn't being completely paranoid about them changing how the phone reacts to being fully charged!
