QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Apr 7 2013, 12:13 PM) 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

QUOTE(futurevision_ben @ Apr 7 2013, 04:17 PM) hello, new user of S3 here, just want to ask why my s3 android version still at 4.0.4? when i click software update, it shows 'no update available' i try to figure out at first page but seems no solution, can any sifu here enlighten me? thankiu  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.

QUOTE(futurevision_ben @ Apr 7 2013, 04:35 PM) ok, i try kies air now, thx bro 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.

QUOTE(Andrewtst @ Apr 7 2013, 06:46 PM) 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

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

QUOTE(thekid94 @ Apr 16 2013, 10:50 PM) 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 https://www.box.com/s/7rrhsvw5o0qkbvwyuzq5This post has been edited by waveweaver: Apr 16 2013, 11:06 PM

QUOTE(mrvkool @ Apr 17 2013, 07:28 PM) 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.  No need to install anything to view or download the app as far as I know. My browser can use the link without problem.  Anyway..the Application Monitor widget can be downloaded from Samsung App itself. This post has been edited by waveweaver: Apr 17 2013, 08:16 PM

QUOTE(mrvkool @ Apr 17 2013, 08:27 PM) 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.

QUOTE(eszol @ Apr 17 2013, 10:15 PM) I can confirm that. Happened to me just now. Box sure know how to force people signing up for it That really a bummer  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.
