So how can I update my Android version? Or staying at ics is good enough? I have never rooted before, I'm scared later this ap set dies

So flashing is safe? What do I do first?

if im flashing, the baseband has to be same as the rom im flashing or what?

my friend just helped me flash to 4.3 UK one
r there any battery improvement? coz my battery drained 60% in 3hours (i surf internet), is this normal?

and are there any good back cover for s3? im looking for different texture one, the glossy plastic gets very dirty and greasy easily..

Anyone experiencing super fast battery drain, wake up lag and choppy music problems in 4.3 UK version?

4~5 hours on wifi, from 100% become 5%...
it takes 3 seconds to wake up after i press the power button..

For those who aren't aware what are those major bugs and issues, here are some obvious system crises found in Android 4.3 firmware:

1. Wake up lag issues which takes a few seconds for the device to become active from standby.

2. Random system freezing that varies from time to time.

3. Massive battery drain without any possible quick fix.

4. Bluetooth Audio problems during playback inside your car.

5. Samsung music player suffers from stuttering audio playback.

6. Black screen that freezes the phone whenever a call is received.

7. RAM management goes poorer than Android 4.1.2.

8. Certain Wi-Fi connectivity issues.

err... do you mind telling me how to get the ML2, im abit blur here ..
a guide is appreciated

which part??
any country rom ending with ML2 sure is 4.3 one right?

so now i download ML2 and flash it using odin? where to i get ml2?

i also not sure, nokia6280 seem to have it?
how about the MK6?

so basically it doesnt matter which country, as long as it is for i9300 can edi?

i flash to ml2 downloaded from sammobile
baseband is still mk6, but build number is ml2, is this normal?

just wondering, if after a long time, the rom will become slower one?
or is it because i installed some apps which will cause my s3 laggy?

when i press home screen, it takes like 2 second to back to home, go in apps like facebook also, sometimes google chrome hang, and most of all waking the phone up sometimes take 3 seconds!!

do i have to update to newer rom, or just reflash te current rom?
rom is ml2/mk6

and i dont like screen protector, so i peeled it off, but after few days, i saw many light scratches already, i had no such problems with my previous iphone 4 and xperia p without screen protector, is it normal? if really like this i will have to put screen protector already ....

doesnt seem to help much...

what do u mean by redraws? im using nova launcher instead of touchwiz

yeah, sometimes the icons and widgets will go blank, den need wait a while only show up
