I see that the battery icon now changes to yellow at 20% as opposed to the 28% that it was before. Yellow at 20 and notification to plug in at 15.

Also, does anyone else notice the font is much larger in messaging than the system font? It looks unusually large. There no font size in messaging settings to change.

While the text app is open, press volume down. Volume controls the font size

After seeing your post I looked in the settings, and dug for a bit. There is a setting in the messaging settings to turn this on and off. Would not have looked had I not seen your post so thanks for that.

Re: What have you noticed about 4.3?

As I said earlier in this thread, I did successfully connect my tablet with Bluetooth, that will give me what I need, without the hotspot. I don't need more than one connection.

Can you give a little better instructions than Foxfi does to use bluetooth. I have tried and it doesn't work for me.

Any time. That's why we are here. You have to be in an actual text convo to do it. Not the page that shows all your threads

Re: What have you noticed about 4.3?

Things have gone south for me on this update. Screen freezes mostly. Yesterday couldn't answer the phone because the swipe bar froze?.. became unfrozen just before it would have gone to voicemail. I suppose I should just reset the phone but my upgrade date its here so I just ordered a Note 3.

My battery is lasting much longer since the update

I noticed this too - battery life has actually improved for me as well. I also noticed the ever so slight delay when pressing the home button when in an app, but to me this is neither intrusive or annoying. Note I have NOT performed a factory reset after upgrading. Thumbs up so far.

What is this delay people talk about? I'm not seeing it.

I am getting a delay also, whenever I open an app or access settings etc. And the notification pull down is slow to react too.

But sometimes it can be fast, just seems like it slows down for a length of time. Nothing happening at the time like something downloading etc. Also Swype keyboard will lock and stop working, then all of a sudden catch up???

All very annoying. I was looking forward to a faster less large experience, but it's worse then before.

Besides getting a replacement even though the update went through via pc, they are sending a new sim card.
New sim card coming as they said to take advantage of ISIS new sims are needed.

Reading this message, hit the "home" button. There's a slight delay before it returns you to the home screen. It's very so slight and sounds like it's just being overblown, but it does seem to be present *on my phone* as well.

What is this Samsunng Updates Icon that I'm finding on my homescreen? I click on it and it does nothing, it also is not listed in the app drawer.

I'm glad I'm not the stupid one that had not seen it. Its not a delay, its like a transition like a video camera back in the day. At least I don't have any lag on my phone that I can tell. Seems pretty smooth and responsive. Sorry if you have problems people.
