GS3 4.3 Issues.

[jhill110]

I keep getting several notifications for downloads from weeks ago, same 12 over and over, any fix?

Or go to application manager /all/download manager wipe cache & data reboot.

Has anyone experienced a problem with Bluetooth dropping out? The phone shows Bluetooth is still on, but the audio stops coming out of the headphones and starts playing through the phone speaker.

My issues:

1) Using stock messaging (I know, who uses the stock messaging!), text message notifications show up on the lock screen stating who the text is from and what the text says. I MUCH preferred the previous notification of the simple circle and swiping away the message in the notifications if you don't want it to be read. As well, the previous notification didn't leave the text message on your lock screen for anyone to read

2) Using the music player, it shows up as yet another massive box on the lock screen and I can't seem to get rid of it.

3) A bunch of my fonts are no longer compatible

4) Battery life is absolutely terrible!

Basically, I want my lock screen left as it was and don't want my text messages splashed on the lock screen. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hopefully I can help clear things up.
1) I still use the stock notifications too. I actually prefer it for the simplistic usage. The stock preview/notification are as intended. Basically... It is what it is with the new program.

2)Stock music player is awesome! I love the update with lock screen integration. Also... It is what it is with the new program.

3) Fonts possibly needs to be updated with the new 4.3 software

4) Try going into your "Application Manager", than turning off a lot of preloaded programs. If you're still experiencing bad battery life than worse case is you'll need a factory reset. Another possibility is your battery is old.

Anyone else getting a frequent recurring notifications that "an attempt to access a secure area on my phone has been blocked"? I unchecked knox as a device admin, but I still get this notice.

The flash for my camera goes off when I receive phone calls. I have flash notification unchecked. Any ideas?
Also the voice commands for the camera no longer work.

Some have had to cycle the toggle the flash on then off to get it to stop.

I'll give that a try. Thanks

I had to check the box, then un-check the box to fix mine from doing that.

The only issue I have is my wife got it and she hates it and I have to hear about it, over and over! Haha.

It's a KNOX feature (Can't turn it off unless you root) Have you got app that's trying to get root access?? Than that is your culprit, delete it..

 

[billgio]

Thanks! I uninstalled the "Tiny Death Star" app and these notifications seem to have stopped.

 

[SebasCvdB]

Weird... I didn't expect a game to make those notifications pop up.. makes you wonder what this app is trying to access for KNOX to activate. Than again KNOX might just be a little bit to sensitive.. I rooted my phone and was able to turn KNOX off completely, I wish there was a way to get rid of the bootloader.

Mine too, what? There are a number of problems reported in this thread. "Mine too" doesn't tell us anything.

*cackles*

KNOX isn't too sensitive. I think investigating why the app cause it to block access would be more useful (and safer) than simply disabling the feature

You'd be surprised what some devs will do, in any type of app. There are games tracking your location, mining contact data, etc. It's not unexpected that a game may be doing something that you didn't think a game normally would do - to the benefit of that developer, of course!

My wife has been having problems with the Gallery, all the pictures are rotated and it keeps crashing. Any ideas?
She cleared cache and data but the pictures are still turned on their side.

Love the new look and feel, but two big issues:

1) The flash goes off when my alarm clock sounds in the morning. Checking/unchecking and restarting does not resolve the issue. (and seriously, they hid that toggle under "Accessibility"? I wonder what these guys are thinking sometimes.)

2) The screen's responsiveness to the power button is much, much slower. It was always very snappy, it would wake up the instant you touch the button. Now I find that it can take as long as 3 seconds for the screen to come on after tapping the power button. I find myself thinking that I didn't hit it hard enough and hitting it twice, so that it blinks on and then immediately blinks off. A small issue, I guess, but considering I check my phone 100+ times a day it gets old fast.
