The Official Samsung Galaxy S III Thread

I'm having a weird problem with my SGS3, sometimes when trying to wake it, the screen is extremely dark to the point where I can barely make anything out on the screen. I have to physically press the power button to turn it off, then back on repeatedly until it decides to go back to showing a normal brightness so I can use it.

Anyone else had a similar issue?

I want to update to this Jelly Bean business, is this right?

Does it matter that it's for Three? I don't want any branding etc, just the latest stock firmware as if I got an OTA update. I'm on GiffGaff so it looks like this will never happen.

Will it wipe my phone? Apps/Photos etc.?

Think I'll go ahead and root my phone soon.

The first link at the bottom, I assume this is stock JB firmware?

Thanks

Did it anyway, was as I expected like an OTA update. Jelly Bean is nice, project butter is immediately noticeable. Is there anyway to change how I get to Google Now? How can I give it priority over S Voice etc?

If you didn't know hold down menu on the home screen to get Google Now.

Project Butter is awesome isn't it :cool:

Hi Chris,

Did you just load the firmware on odin and follow the rest of the basic root instructions? Think I'm going to go ahead and root my S3 too, it shouldn't be a problem that my S3 is an international version is it?

Sin_Chase · 21 Oct 2012 at 17:30

Will flashing the Three ROM via Odin wipe the device or will it be just like an OTA update and retain apps/settings/prefs?

holding home brings up the Samsung task manager, with a now button at the bottom. Would prefer to make double tap home button go google now instead of s voice.

Just did the Odin bit, don't need root.

Kanpai · 21 Oct 2012 at 18:43

The root worked but didn't expect the 3 bloatware to show up. Is there any way to hide this?

Sin_Chase · 21 Oct 2012 at 18:54

Think I will wait, cba with branded boot/shutdown anims and bloat.

Kanpai · 21 Oct 2012 at 18:56

Is it safe to install another firmware over this?

Cyclone · 21 Oct 2012 at 18:58

Have a look at wanamlite, its what you have already but with less bloat. A lot of people on here use it and rate it highly.

I've got this and its running soo smooth for me.

toString · 21 Oct 2012 at 19:07

Step 1. Install Wanamlite v4.
Step 2. Stop waiting for JB release.
Step 3. Wait for Key Lime Pie

What I mean is, can I install wanamlite over this 4.1.1 Official 3 firmware i've just flashed to? Or do I have to somehow delete this firmware before doing so?

Might check it out, seeing as it's based on the latest JB.

Thinking of doing the same tonight, let me know how it goes? Also, don't forget to put stock toggles on if you want them
