Just buy power case later on if still not enough....However i started to feel that newer android is more battery friendly and custom kennel can help to further your battery usage...even for me, still using original battery, my s3 can stand a day usage compare to ice cream time.

Always like sony UI after use rom xperia e...now, since sony z2 have great hardware feature and have solved main issue with z1(screen), now really intrigued me to change

For me, i just want to have fresh feeling of phone usage. Still, better wait for review on how both work actually...
After all, wanna see which feature is useful or just gimmick (smart stay  )

Spec vs after sales support

agree. super ugly back cover design. I'm guessing note 4 will be a "wow" phone.

snapdragon 805, 2k resolution, 3gb ram perhaps? 

I wonder why s5 did not come up with 3gb ram? Probably wants people to buy note 3 or give priority for note 4.
Back cover design is like band aid. ==
Same processor with z2 right?? S4 have better design IMHO.

BTW "S3" still a BEAST~!!!

s3 keynote still Stunning
s4 keynote total a joke...~ xD
s5 not yet see... on youtube

ya 1 gb ram is too low...
but s5 only got 2 gb ram... i told got 3gb ===
so s5 will be like google nexus 4? ==

To be franked most of the time bottleneck is not on the phone itself. Is the owner think there is a bottleneck to find a reason for new phone...

Do you wearing spek or not?
smart stay only work for me when i'm not wearing spek.
When i do, it just fail to recognize the eyes...
Since i got a bad sight, well most of the time, it doesn't work 

aosp rom made some old phone not bottleneck

Smart stay did feel that it is working.. It still screen off when i looking at the screen..
For smart rotation still OK.. 50% chances it still work..

guys..

samsung come again with not enuf ram for update..

According to Samsung Poland, and confirmed by comments to Polish blogger Robert Nawrowski, the Galaxy S3 Android 4.4 KitKat update will not roll out in Poland because it only possesses 1GB of RAM. The Galaxy S3 in the United States comes with 2GB of RAM.

The regional arm claims that it simply cannot get the software aboard due to the system requirements which means that the former flagship could remain on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. It’s not clear if this will affect all 1GB versions of the Samsung Galaxy S3 but it certainly isn’t a good sign.
Backlash in regard to this decision is expected to be fierce given the prominence of the Galaxy S3 and given that Android 4.4 KitKat supports devices that utilize just 512MB of RAM. Keep in mind, while the Galaxy S3 does utilize 1GB of RAM, it also comes with an intensive piece of software in Samsung’s TouchWiz.

still stuck on boot loop. will remove the battery and let it so overnight...
just to recap, wipe data + factory reset will empty my inbox, right? hmm.. the very thing i wanna avoid since theres important sms inside. usually had all the sms backed up daily, but then, my sd card went kaput last month and now this... 

which rom do you mean? the custom one im using or official samsung?

because i tried to reflash rom files through CWM and it doesnt work as well...

after updated my phone to 4.3, the wifi connection got problem..sometimes it will cut off connection and reconnect back...is it my house wifi prob or my phone prob?

so guys what todo with this S3 since there is no KK update.

Ok guys another question - which is easy and safe to use the recovery tools?CWM or TWRP?

guys, its working now after i update to todays' update just minutes ago..anyways, thanks for the tip regarding the efs..most probably it was the efs problem, but after updating, no more problem.
