Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues!
How? I want camera widget in lock screen. Lock screen>Lock screen widgets>Clock or personal message. The only options available after 4.3 update are clock or customized message. How do you add camera widget to lock screen? I have Verizon Wireless Samsung Galaxy S3 running Android 4.3

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues!
I am having the same problem as you I have Verizon. I have several apps I do not want to delete because I do not want to start over in my games. I am glad I am not the only one with this problem. Verizon needs to fix this. I was so much happier with 4.1.2. it is also annoying to have to swipe to unlock after to tap on a notification in order to view it. my battery sucks much more than it used to. it was already bad but now it is much worse.

When you move an app to the SD card the icon does indeed turn transparent. But if you tap/hold/remove it from whatever page you're on then simply bring it back from your apps list it will go back to its original state.

Anyone know if its possible to change the lock screen wallpaper on an unrooted S3? I am on corp phone, so it's a password unlock for me, so no lock screen widgets, etc..

Just because the Wi-Fi hardware didn't change doesn't mean that Wi-Fi behavior/functionality didn't change, possibly for the worse. They commonly update the radio files (aka Baseband in Settings -> About phone), so it's possible that they made a change that's having a negative impact on your reception or connectivity. The only way to compare would be to flash the radios from 4.1.2 while keeping everything else constant.

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues!
I am having an issue with my phone rebooting everytime I try to access the clipboard. I tried the fix that Smeags offered, but it didn't work for me. My phone isn't rooted, nor do I want to root it. I rebooted my phone several times, & the test service app I force closed doesn't restart & isn't running. Anyone have any other ideas?

I am seeing the black webpages but I just tap the screen with my finger and they go away (on chrome). Have you tried just touching the screen and moving it up or down? It has worked every time for me.

Sorry, I forgot to include quotes. It does this on my chrome as well. However, if you just tap the screen on the part where it is black then it should reappear normal. It only does the black screen if you leave and come back. Have you tried just tapping the screen with your thumb or better yet moving it up or down like you were scrolling on the page?

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues!
I have a few issues but will keep it simple to start off. My first problem is that with the update some of the settings don?t seem to be calibrated. For example, my screen is really bright on the lowest setting ( all the way to the left). Turn it all the way up it is really really bright. To compare to music it is like the screen brightness went two octaves higher. The lowest setting is still very bright. During a phone call also on speaker I couldn?t turn the volume down all the way. The best I could compare it to is when someone that can't whispers tries to whisper and yet it is still loud. I wanted to turn it down to whisper and I couldn't. The lowest setting was still very high.

My second issue is the battery percentage is weird. It will charge and charge and charge and be at like 54%. Others have commented about it taking much longer to charge. Hours and hours. Then, all of a sudden I will look away and like 5 minutes later it says 100% charged. It is not possible to have charged that much that fast. The best I can compare it to is a faulty gas tank gauge. I really don't know how much gas I have. On a side note it drops really quickly from 100% to the 60% range almost within the span of 45 minutes or less then drops a little less quickly. I wonder if that is anyone else's issue. Again, this seems to go back to the calibration issue a little.

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues!
So after a lot grief, I just decided to do a factory reset. That cleared up the clipboard problem, but created a new one.
Now my webpage freezes. The page loads, but then nothing; I can't scroll or click on any links, then I get the dialog box that says my internet stopped working. I'm using the browser that came on the phone as I've always used it without issue before.
Any advice?

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues!
I'm also having problems with low audio on the S3 4.3 update. I have revision L710VPUCMK3. Is this the latest version?
Are there any possible fixes? I have all the volume settings set to maximum, but call volume is hardly audible.

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues!
Did you go to the application manager and clear cache and clear all data? Sometimes when mine messes up just once it continues until I do that. Not sure that is a fix or not but worth a shot. Let know if need instructions.

Of course, then you'll also have to find the 4.3 radios to get back to where you are.

You can flash just the radios using Odin. I'm sure you can find them on XDA - that's where I found them the last time I was fiddling around.
