Been running a modded file myself forever (personal settings). Don't set it too high or risk blowing up your speaker though - mine is up by just a bit also satisfied edi.

BTW this works with the reception speaker too (the one you use to take calls).

Only problem I feel so far on 4.3 which is bothering me "your wifi is unstable", this keeps popping up quite frequently, not sure really my wifi is unstable or new os prob.

got it. thanks bro.

Will I lose me root after updating to android 4.3? even with odin pro?

If factory reset we shud restore with backup that was before the 4.3 update or after 4.3 update

Prior to SDS. There is a few signs.

1) I just notice my phone more laggy den usual, i tot its laggy cause more apps and data installed (3 weeks).
2) One day i notice my phone is bit hot. (Heat when you play high graphic game like RR3), I wasnt running any app in background.. end process but still same so i restart den it was fine (1 day).
3) A day before SDS, the phone shut down itself. I plug into power plug and switch on again. Work like charm.
4) SDS day, after work.. while doing gym, i check whatsapp a little in between session and next thing i knew. Its DEAD!
5) Took to Samsung service centre which is a stone throw away. Confirm SDS. Need motherboard replacement.
6) Yes if not mistaken it was on custom rom 4.1.1.
7) Phone is well taken care. No power bank charging and no charging while using. Sometimes i even off phone or switch to airplane mode for charging. No water damage. Dropped 2-3 times with rubber case but low impact (last was 6 months ago)

Bad luck:( Any one else can share their experience?

4.1.1 was known for giving SDS issue , both on N2 and SGS3 . That's why there was an update to 4.1.2 to solve the issue . IF u r were on custom rom , how come u didnt use any custom kernel that helps prevent SDS

I seriously wouldn't say that the SDS 'fix' is even a confirmed fix. It's more like a stopgap band aid - what it does is try to stop or at least lessen the corruption from happening. Even than it only does so at the kernel level, NOT during CWM which is bootloader level (unless your CWM comes with a fix too).

In short, it slows the corruption down. It doesn't really stop it outright especially if you flash a lot of ROMs or stuff in a version of CWM that is not 'fixed' - which still comes with the risk of corrupting things.

Case in point, my old S3 was 'fixed' the moment the fixes came out, but in the end it died of SDS anyway, requiring a totally replaced mobo.

Hence why I was so desperate to find a unit that came with a 'sane' eMMC out of the box when I was buying my N2, and thankfully I found one on my first attempt.

How to check eMMC? the apps reliable?

How do you get a 'sane' eMMC? Checking using the app? I didnt have the chance to do so as i wasnt aware of s3 problem prior of buying n2. Got it 3 days before msia official launch 2012.

emmc brickbug check at playstore

Yup , u r right on that . At least better then SGS3 where SDS happens after 3 months of usage and above . That is scary . Even on 4.1.2 , there r a few and i mean a few kena here in the forum . 1 of them is our kak fruitie
