    heyy. question lang. i’ve had the latest firmware for my s3 by january pa but i haven’t installed it yet since i’m afraid that all my installed apps will be deleted. If i click install all, will the latest update erase all my data and reboot again or my apps would still be installed? PLEASE. i need answers. Thanks! :)

    Guys ,

    Any feedback on the battery performance of your S3 after the update?

    Some people are saying their S3 battery drains faster now in 4.1.2 than in 4.0

    Is it me or the SMS messaging app became slow after the update. I mean hindi na cya smooth i scroll lol just an observation I can live with it naman XD

    • Avatar for Welsh Welsh says:

      Hi Yeye,

      try to turn off the “delete old messages” option.

      Go to messaging > message setting > delete old messages.

      And/or try to delete some for your messages as well.

      Hope that works for you too.

    Have your notice the new toolbar? how it can be customized to place new app icon?

    The toolbar appears when you started s3.

      Where did you get your S3?

      Samsung is sending the updates by region. Its possible that your region is not yet supported by the update to 4.1.2.

  16. Avatar for lolwut lolwut says:

    I got mine updated last week pa. The update brings a lot of improvements and it’s got few new features like multi-window and you can already change the things to put in the notifications. So far so good for me.
