updated to 4.3

anyone know why I automatically and randomly download apps to games?

Seems like it always happens when I come home and the phone is connected to my home wifi.

Seems like 4.3 messed up swift key for my sister, no haptic and second row keys don't work. Weird.

Someone please recommend me a GOOD, SIMPLE TO USE file transfer program to transfer photos + video from my S3's storage to SD Card storage

I tried using Astro and ES File Explorer, but they're complicated as hell, and I can't even find the directories properly

Thanks in advance, MUCH APPRECIATED

Updated almost a week ago. Looks good, settings is laid out logically and simpler, but the camera app won't keep my shortcut settings, the music app is butchered to hell and my "recently added" playlist was scrambled.

The camera problem isn't that big of a deal, but for the music app I just use doubletwist. I really miss the equalizer on the music app.

Found out the hard way that the update reset all of my alarm ring tones. So instead of annoying stock music guaranteed to wake me up in the morning, it started doing a single BBM click sound, which wouldn't wake up a mouse. Oh, and it also blinks the flash light... which I do not want, and, of course, there's no option to deactivate it.

Go to accessibility settings then check on the flash notification then check it off. Should fix.

Nope. Mine was already set to off, but I tried turning it on/off anyway to see if that would fix it. No go.

Edit: Tried it again and now it seems to have been fixed. Thanks

So far, the update seems to make my S3 run smoother. I just have to turn off that bloody Tag Buddy on my camera pics.

To make and receive calls, I have used DW Dialer for years with no issues - works even smoother after the update

I broke my S3 yesterday

It still works, but the screen is cracked and it has a bit of water damage

Anyone have any good deals on one right now? I see Bell/Koodo/Virgin offer a brand new one for $300

that's me everyday... I phoned Samsung and they will not warranty it even though my phone messed up after the update. my phone resets around 40 times a day.. been 5 weeks now...

I also noticed my lock button is very sensitive, if I slide my finger over it then itll turn on.

so your phone just restarts or? i press the home button to check my phone but nothing happens and the lock button doesn't do anything so i have to take out the battery and back, then i can turn it on...argh...hopefully mine won't get as bad as yours...
