For those with 4.3

[gotta have it android]

For those with the 4.3 update, what settings have you've changed to make the battery life better? Seems like i can only get a hour of battery life with 10 minutes of screen time

Ouch...that's terrible.

Did a charge today up to 75%. Seems to be fine now but find it strange it dropped that much

Shut off all the Samsung crap.... ie chaton, allshare etc...
Go into to each app....there is a lot you can turn off if you don't use.
Then I restarted, cleared cache, end tasks....drained battery down to almost 0 then powered off and did full charge.
After that I'm getting usual battery drainage.....nothing special but about same as prior to update

When I was on 4.3 (I went back to md4 until they straighten out screen rotation) I noticed when I watched something on Netflix that the audio wasn't syncing correctly with the video. I wasn't sure if it's the compatibility with the new OS or maybe it had to do with the fact that I was forcing a landscape screen mode. Anyways do any of you guys experience any inaccurate audio/video syncing on any video and with Netflix in particular?

I'll try that. Didn't think much off it honestly. Thanks for the advice

My rotation actually works fine without it but I'll go on Netflix and see if I have that issue

You did the Wi-Fi fix and your rotation works fine? How is that possible?

Good question. I'm not sure. I'm still trying to figure that out my self

Something set up badly for WiFi in the ROM is constant polling, even when it's turned off. To fix, go settings, WiFi, menu button, advanced, then unchecked 'always allow scanning' saves a stupid amount of battery.

How did you go back to md4? Trying via Odin seems to have bricked me.

I download the md4 Pre rooted zip file and the md4 firmware. Then I went into custom recovery and cleared data/cache etc. and flashed the firmware and then flashed the zip. I didn't touch Odin at all. Make sure you have the latest custom recovery. (I flashed the latest philz touch which is based on cmw) because if not, you'll have internal memory folder issues adding "0" folders to your internal sd.

If you install the official update to 4.3, there is no way to go back to a pre 4.3 ROM. Trying to go back will, as you've discovered, brick your phone.

You might want to contact this guy and see if he thinks it's repairable with a jtag: JTAG Unbrick Service « Bricked my Phone
