anyone remember the code on the keypad that we can update the camera software ? i remember doing it once on ics. forgot the code already

*#34971539#

thank you ! it seems the phone to cam fw write rear cant be selected. why is that so ?

ya, i freeze, now better, major % from screen not apk....
just now apk 40, screen 40, others 20

Can be freeze??

So, do u still recommend people to update S3 to JB??

For those thinking of changing from s3 to note 2 purely for battery reasons i got this calculations based on twch radar's batery comparison

Extrapolated, note 2 battery lasts 9.75 percent longer than s3, despite a battery thats 50 percent bigger than the s3. I believe the extra percentages were due to the larger screen. Therefore at full charge if u take both phones and play the same game until the battery drains the note 2 will last 9.7 percent longer. However because noones gonna do that (use the screen for the full 100 percent) and since its the main battery drainer, on a normal usage the note 2 battery will last much longer than the extrapolated 9.7 percent as trickle usage during deep sleep would not be affected by screen size. Because tje screen is off most of the time. So for heavy usage the battery difference will between two device will be smaller compared to an average user. To find out how much more hours u will get if u change phone in terms of percentage use the following formula

Use a batterystatss monitor to find out how many percentage of time is your phone screen on relative to jow long your phone has been discharging

Eg if its on 50% of the time :

50% x 796.3 = z

(1000 - z)/2100 times 100% = the increased percentage of hours your phone has upgrading from s3 to note 2, if all else are equal.

guys i got this error.. stock rom JB installed 2 days ago.. before this it is working at usual.. don't know what happens as i not rooting it..

After I used triangle away, i protected the root with OTA rootkeeper . After the official jb update, I restored root with ota rootkeeper.

I just checked the status just now, it's Samsung official, no 'modified' status detected

I used triangle away v2.24 I think, just before the latest 2.25 update

Switching from S3 to Note2 juz bcoz of bigger battery capacity , its plain silly ... judge frm the bigger screen from note 2 , common sense tell me that it need more battery juice !

either get a battery pack or buy a spare battery...note2 is not that nice to use and hold imo.. its too big !

i'm oso facing similar problem. anyone can assist?

ya, s3 just nice for me to hold single hand and type(swype), get a spare battery and you are problem free

Your commonsense I m afraid is not so common
The note 2 battery life is at least twice that of S3
Ask any S3 users who is now using note 2 now
Onscreen time easily 8-9 hours

I have the same problem about charging time too.

Thanks for the info. I downloaded Triangle Away 2.26 but still the same. I think it is my issue then as I have used a MOD to enable init.d on the stock kernel. As well as replaced the tar for CWM.

No big deal for me as can use KIES or ODIN for updates. And will do full reset/restore to stock if any warranty claim required.

i have the same issues with 2 different setups:

1) stock malaysian JB rooted cf 64
2) stock malaysian JB speedmod kernel

both also had the charging time issue.

wats your setup?

maybe something wrong with your charger? normal original charger for s3 output is 1000mAH, im not sure how long needed to charge full since i never use my original charger =.=
using original blackberry 750mAH to charge now with 3 hour+ for full battery. well my dad using note 1 and use a 1250mAH sony charger he said 30mins his percentage from 10% rose to 50%
so, try to change charger maybe you get better result?

are u sure can freeze? coz from the bloatware list , it is stated as Caution.. i not dare freeze it last time..

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key...pBdVRQOUE#gid=0

Its CAUTION but not NO so u cant try it

dont think it the charger problem bro. it was working all fine 0% to 100% within 2-3hrs on stock malaysian ICS.

right after the upgrade straight away like tat....

anyone cant cant update the camera firmware here ? it seems the option is disabled.
