For me, similar design = no much different, it just incrementally upgrade.

Using S4 like using back S3 if you the current S3 owner.

Not much point buying similarity thing twice. I personally won't use recycle device twice.

Nobody is forcing you to upgrade your phone. Not even Samsung tongue.gif

Your phone SME set..?
Try do factory reset then check for update again.
Alternative way..go to service centre and ask them to help you update your firmware.

Yes..factory reset will wipe your data.
Another way is..try using Kies. You need a PC or lappy..though tongue.gif

ok, i try kies air now, thx bro  smile.gif

if i want to further update to unofficial 4.2 jelly bean i need to flash my rom right?
*
No..no..not Kies Air.
You need to install Kies driver on your PC.
JB 4.2 still no available..

Another way to update firmware is flash via Odin.
But you need to download the firmware from Sammobile.

Use Odin much easier.
Get Odin from the link below.
Then download the latest M'sian.firmware from Sammobile.com.
Extract the firmware zip files into .tar.md5 files.
Open Odin
Flash those .tar.md5 files in Odin under PDA.
Let it reboot..done.

Get Odin

I9300XXALE8 ? This firmware is crazy old.

Hmm... I don't think your S III set is SME as checkout this firmware was Europe firmware.

Some more now still getting ICS firmware is kind of weird. I don't think any SME set still preloaded with ICS now.

Some old lost stock just found in some phone shop...lolz

thx for your effort waveweaver,

now my s3 on 4.1.2  smile.gif

my build no. change to JZO54K.I9300XXEMA2

Gratz bro thumbup.gif

Using Samsung phones is much easier to update the firmwares. And also the most easiest to root...lolz.

And there's no disadvantage on buying the old firmware as you can easily update it.
Enjoy your new phone biggrin.gif

thanks. well, i'm very new to android phone and i'm not really good in technology stuffs including computer. only know how to do office works or play games only. a little bit screwed up though. to be honest, i'm not sure at how much ram should a new phone be. i thought that at 600-700++ mb is quite high for a new phone i've just purchased last saturday :/

Put Application Monitor widget at your homescreen so you can know if you have any unclosed app with one glance. Download the widget from Samsung App or from my Box link below

Neither could i. It showed the box page in a flash then suddenly it prompted an error of web page is not available .

Do i need to install anything to view this?
*
Ehh..that's odd. rclxub.gif
No need to install anything to view or download the app as far as I know. My browser can use the link without problem. hmm.gif

Anyway..the Application Monitor widget can be downloaded from Samsung App itself.

Which browser? I've tried both dolphin and stock but couldn't get the link.

I'm using Maxthon but my stock and Firefox browser also no problem accessing the link.
Or is it you need a Box app first..? But I don't think you need those Box app just to download something.

I can confirm that. Happened to me just now. Box sure know how to force people signing up for it

That really a bummer doh.gif
Though I'll stick with Box as I have those 50GB free storage to keep all my things. But it will be a bit hussle for others to gain access if they don't have the same app.

Hi,
I hope this is the right forum for my question.. smile.gif
How do i transfer my contacts and messages from my Nokia to my Samsung s3..
I tried using Nokia Suite to back up my contacts and then after connecting my S3 using Kies , i tried
to look for the Nokia back-up contact file and clicked on Kies to transfer data to S3, but nothing happens.
Anyone ?
Much appreciated..
Cheers

I use bluetooth..much easier..lolz
Contacts > mark all > send as business card > send (to Samsung)
