[leeshee]

I downloaddd the 4.3 download and now when I want to unlock my phone sometimes its really slow... whats great about this 4.3 download??

What 4.3 download are you talking about? Which carrier do you have?

If it was an official OTA you may need to do a factory reset.

I've heard that this slow awakening is a well-known bug of the new firmware

 

[kwmetalfan]

Thats no good.

It's there on the 2 versions I've tried. I wouldn't advise anyone to go out of their way to update as it's really bloody annoying.

When I went to about device it told me to update the new package and since I updated its really slow.. if I put my phone back to factory settings will it get rid of this problem and back to the way it was?

 

[kwmetalfan]

It might, there may be something conflicting.

 

[leeshee]

do you think i should?

Wiped mine before updating, made no difference. Again though mine wasn't an OTA update.

Depends on if you're ok formatting bud.

I don't think the firmware released by Sammobile is the final version, or even an official update. Everybody is reporting bugs...
Android 4.3 XXUGMJ9 firmware for Galaxy S3 is not final after all - Samsung Update
I say we wait for a properly working firmware. This one XXUGMJ9 is no good.

Sprint is supposed to be rolling out the GS3 4.3 update starting today. Has anyone received it yet? If so, is the update somewhere it can be downloaded yet?

If sprint has it, hopefully Virgin Mobile is not far behind.

It took a while for the custom roms to get 4.3 right for the s3 so samsung will probably have same troubles. Id leave it for now or go custom aosp based if you really want 4.3 :thumbup:

Nothing from Sprint yet....at least not on my end.
