And yes, I'm also po'd that I can't use FoxFI anymore. Renders my Nexus tablet useless.

^^^^^^This^^^^^^^

This is a huge problem for me. Updated my S3 without thinking and Fox Fi is dead. What's the work around? Can I Root it? Please help!

Updated 24 hours ago and no major issues here. I've still got plenty of playing around to do but all seems to work fine for me.

Since installing the update to 4.3 my browser keeps crashing and my internet home page keeps getting changed. Is it the update or just verizon having trouble with thier network? The browser will suddenly stop and close. I have tried re-booting and pulling the battery but the problem keeps re-accuring.

I updated my S3 this morning in UK and had massive audio volume issues. The audio volume seems to have taken a deep plunge, call, music everything. I am sure this is not a fault with the device hardware as things were all okay minutes before the update. The volume output is so low that even at 100% I had to hold the device to my ear to hear the track playing.

I am literally pissed of as I use my S3 as primary music device.

Anyone else had the same issues. Any reasons or fixes known to anyone.

One thing me and wife noticed, is when you are in the web or an app and press the home button it opens the task manager screen. Like if you hold the home button it brings this up, but it is bringing it up 60% of the time from in apps when just pressing once.

Is there an easy way to open a text when it pops up on lock screen? It pops up like a widget and you can click on it once then swipe like you would normally to unlock it, but just curious if there was a easy one touch way to open that text from lock screen

After the update my girlfriends s3 is losing Verizon coverage while on WiFi. Once it losing that service it shows a voicemail icon by there is no voicemail. Once Verizon coverage is regained the voicemail icon goes away.

Why is this happening and why is it all of a sudden losing coverage while on WiFi? Never did this before the update.

Since update my wifi seems to reboot either during sleep or randomly while using phone.. I have the option to have wifi always on, so this is annoying.

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues!

any one know how to enable hidden menu with 4.3?

I cannot enable it...

- - - Updated - - -

Have you solved this issue?

Has anyone been able to get back into the hidden menu's after the 4.3 update??

I tried the *#22745927# code but the dialer screen just goes blank again, I also tried *#197328640# which does nothing. I did root using the saferoot method which was pretty darn easy, and I edited the efs/carrier/hiddenmenu file to read 'ON'. I am able to get into some of the menus, *#0011#, **87284, just not the one I need.

In case anyone needs it here's the saferoot method: [ROOT] Saferoot: Root for VRUEMJ7, MK2, and Android 4.3 - xda-developers

I had to do a couple things different from the instructions.
1. Download Kies3 and install before connecting the phone.
2. Disconnect from your internet before connecting the phone, this makes sure that the Kies drivers are used.
3. Make sure Kies can connect to your phone before running the script. If it doesn't go to "tools | reinstall drivers" with the phone connected.

His instructions were pretty specific:
- is your phone rooted?
- did you edit the file that he pointed out?

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues!

Anyone had any audio related issues o S3. My audio volume has gone dead quite. Can't use it for navigation, music is so quite that I need to hold the phone to my ear to listen the track even at full volume. Same with call volume.
I am pissed off with this update.

The whole phone is just slower. Cache cleared with no difference. Texting is a nightmare; hell even the lock screen pin lags. Sammy really effed up this one.

Oh and the bug for missed call notifications not clearing the phone icon when the notification is cleared is still not fixed - a bug they introduced in like 4.1.1

I haven't seen any lag on the wife's s3. It has been a real improvement. Have you tried doing an fdr?

Possibly you have an app that is not playing nice or causing the lag. I have not had that issue or any problems with the missed call notification not clearing.

One annoying thing is when you get a Facebook comment and click on notification, it doesn't open that comment. Once you swipe to unlock it will
