Some issues after jelly bean update.... Verizon

[jkmasi]

I'm having that exact problem right there! "media" and "sdcard" are 2 that I've never seen before the Jelly bean update.

Did you ever resolve this "media" problem? Using Better Battery Stats, I can see that MediaScannerService is causing a partial wakelock. I have reformatted my sd card, and tried some other tips, and I can get it to stop for a while, but then it eventually comes back. It's terrible!

Just updated to 4.1.1 on my Verizon Galaxy S3 32GB....

1. The battery does appear to run out quicker. I am noticing and have a 4000mah battery, so cringe at the thought of stock size.

Haven't really tracked this one way or the other.

2. The radio seems no better or worse

Mine seems to be *much* better, at least as far as About device Status reports:

Before: -119 dBm
After: -91 dBm

3. I am not seeing it any faster or slower

Anecdotally seems faster to me..

4. Foxfi issue blows.

Sucks that the previous 'free' version was disabled, but at least the new one still seems to work on my 4.1.1 on my Verizon Galaxy S3 32GB as a WIFI hot spot. Just need to convince myself that it isn't a aberration before I buy the full version.

Even if it does work, the Foxfi folks really need to be taken to task for how they handled things

Yea, it's not about the money, it's about the way they did it. They should have released a paid version as a paid version and stopped supporting the previous version i.e. no more new updates, but the way they did it where the automatically updated us to a paid version is immoral. Because of this I refuse to buy the paid version....ever. I'll give my money to an honest dev even if it costs more.

Never ever ever allow automatic updating. Just dont do it.

For me turning off Google Now ... not just cards ... the whole process made the Media process go away. Still tinkering with different settings but that is the only way so far I have reduced the Media process usage.

I have a question. Does the new keyboard not even have auto correct? I like the keyboard but even in the options I don't see it. It seems like it just allows you to misspell words now.

I guess it's a good thing that they haven't pushed the JB update on my phone. I guess im the last in the que since I got another phone a couple of weeks ago.
