Haiya, let the fruitcakes behappy, atleast now they can use Android (io7) on their Ifails and say everything on it is revolutionary and new.

Hmm its not a leak.. its official la... omg. Just give it till the end of the month, its pretty much normal. Usually Malaysia and Sg should get it by this week or next week the latest.

I know la omg.. we are talking about official aren't we?

I am using the 4.3 official from Russia and my phone is working perfectly . Maybe you guys could try the asian varients since there is no difference either way

i9500 my friend

nah, not going to root for a while. Thought i would just go stock for a month plus until everything settles down and then try again.

Honestly i feel its faster, but the battery is draining pretty fast. I guess I would need to wait for a week atleast to confirm if the battery gets better.

You have a problem...honestly i dont have that since updating to 4.3. Even on custom roms on my 4.2.2 octa, it was gone. You better take it to the service center

Hmm you are lucky.. i am having very bad battery life compared to all the custom 4.2.2 roms..

When did you flash the 4.3 firmware?

Hmm well nothing you can do about it now, just enjoy and root your phone. Usually and I say usually, malaysian SC do not really look into all of these things if its a hardware error. I am going to root my phone as soon as a good and stable custom rom comes out for the i9500 octa. Right now, most are unstable and with all the titanium backup issues, i would rather wait. When i think about it.. I bought this phone in May.. i have another few more months before the warranty ends anyway.

waaa.. i am going to do that now! You are on Stock non rooted right?

Hmm flashed Wanamlite 3.0 on my GTi9500. Well my warranty counter is at 1 now, but who cares, I am rooted and happy. My battery life was really bad on stock 4.3 and either way, knowing me I would root either way.

2)I froze all the knox crap using titanium backup.

OK bro, use this guys one. His name is Juan Carlos. He has a picture guide and this will help you. I made sense to me when i used it.

PS: if you are already on a GTi9500 (only) 4.3 stock, then you dont need to flash the modem, but if you are still on 4.2.2, then follow the instructions to a core, thanks.

By the way, I would suggest that you use titanium back up and freeze knox.

doesnt really matter, I was on Crash rom before that. The i flashed official 4.3 (Russia) using odin. My battery life has been bad so i am flashing wanamlite 3.0. Its pretty much the same process cause i wanted a stock like rom experience with the rooted privileges

I really dont think i am going to do the above honestly.. why would i need 4 different roms.... unless i get bored fast . I am really happy with my wanamlite 3.1 on stock repacked kernel. (I dont mind adam kernel but the sound is just terribly soft!)
