I have no idea what other people here are complaining about the 4.1.2 update on the GS3. I'm absolutely having ZERO problems with it. None at all. It's running better than it did compared to when it was still on ICS. Maybe I'm just lucky.

for those of you who have freezing issues I have bad news. I did a full wipe and reinstall on all apps after I experienced that the phone started lagging a bit on 4.1.2. not soon after the wipe did my phone start freezing, most noticably when the mobile data was on and or when connected to a wifi network/hotspot. two weeks in and the phone died completely. in for repair or replacement. According to XDA it might be a Memory chip failure...if you have freeze issues and it's still under warranty, take it in for repairs asap...

Thanks for this informative post! I was having big troubles with the S3 even before upgrade it to JB. After my supplier company fixed those issues, I upgraded to JB (has worked just fine) and I noticed the battery long time to charge and almost the same battery life and thought it was the device, now I know is an issue with the OS, hope they can fix that, meanwhile I'll find a nokia charger as an advice on a previous comment lol. Eventhough I've decided to not use Samsung devices anymore(at least until my supplier's contract ends) and definitely will go with Apple.

Those motional jerks in Galaxy S3 video takes are not caused by the image stabilizer, but by the video camera randomly skipping 1 to 3 frames in every three seconds.

This is reported by the Finnish Tekniikan Maailma (Technical World) Magazine in their recent smartphone evaluation (iPhone 5, Nokia Lumia 920 and Samsung Galaxy S3).

After been using Jelly bean for about 1 week, i flash my S3 back to ICS due to screen freeze ( call log, Gallery...etc.), battery drain faster. Huge disappointment and won't upgrade anymore until it is fix. Btw, new functions doesn't bring any benefit to user unless the phone is work as fluid as what it should be in ICS.

I recently update to 4.1.1 (India)on my s3 n since then faced a lot of problems. My battery takes VERY LONG to charge (almost 4 hours from 0-100) and the battery life also has seemed to reduce. Offline typing still isnt working and it says no connection to Google servers. The so-called PROJECT BUTTER works only on screen transition but time taken to open messaging, contacts is slow and for the first time i experienced a lag on a QUAD-CORE phone!
