Samsung Galaxy S3

[Stephen]

From checking on google most unlocked and carrier locked phones have recieved the 4.3 update now.

Aren't I a lucky girl then?

Is the S3 rooted or modified in any way? Mine is rooted and stuck on 4.1.2 - when I do a software update it tells me 4.3 is available but I can't have it as the phone is modified.

It's not rooted or modified. Mine doesn't even say anything about the 4.3 update. I've tried OTA and with Kies. Nothing. My old rooted S2 had the same issue as you.

Thinking back, it did a big update a few months ago but when the phone was switched back on, nothing had changed. I'm wondering if the update went wonky.

Unlocked != Unbranded.

Unbranded handsets have had the update. Unlocked handsets can still be on customized network firmware.

Go to About Device and post the Build Number.

Build number is JZO54K.I9300XXEMF6

Does anyone else have the issue since upgrading to 4.3 where their phone reports an unstable wifi connection even though the phone gets full download speed and great signal? A quick google reports others are having it but i haven't found a fix as of yet.

I never had this issue with any other version of Android, i should have not upgraded to 4.3 as it obviously isn't completely fixed yet on the Samsung update.

The HTC One is looking pretty attractive now......

I get that as well and there doesn't appear to be a way to overrule it. It will connect and disconnect several times within a couple of minutes.

Lets hope they fix it soon, i don't get it on my Nexus 10 tablet so this is definitely a Samsung thing.

I will have to look into working out how to root my phone and put vanilla android on it as i am clueless on how to do it and how quick and easy it is.

Hmm seems normal but doesn't actually show what I need, which I can't figure out where to get... :-/

Nonetheless. Should be updating automatically, unless it's been modified by operator or user. You could do it manually if you're daring.

This seems more of an issue with Android 4.3 than Samsung, seen it on all Android 4.3 handsets, it's a "feature". The inability to turn it off may be a Samsung thing but there are apps that can override it I think.

Just unroot it and reset the counter, that should fix it.

I've been updated a while now, now I'm waiting for 4.4 - Kit Kat which should be here Feb time.

4.4 works a treat on my nexus 5, WiFi is rock solid on 5ghz connection
