I figured this is what they would do, and honestly I dont mind as long as they get on the ball and release it quickly even if the quickly is only to the international version because at least then we will get a port quickly while we wait on Big Red.

all we need is an international one to leak for our trusted devs to work their magic.

Yes, but with quite a bit of issues and none of the Touchwiz features (Not going to argue if that is a good or a bad thing).
I think most users root to get back to a stock feel, leaving behind TW, etc. As for this nightly, it's stable enough for a dd. After last night's build, the only major issue seems to be the graphical glitches that happen in Gmail and a few other apps. Battery life and overall performance doesn't seem to be an issue.
Users waiting for an official 4.3 TW could be waiting a long time.

I've been a big aosp guy for a while but coming to this phone I am really digging TW. Always heard so much hate on it. Makes stock android feel so plain. Not trying to start a debate but I am excited to here that this phone will eventually get the 4.3 update.

In your opinion, how is the in call volume? thats the major thing keeping me away from ASOP because I use the phone for work and to make calls almost all day
The volume is great now. The maintainer has merged an audio fix and is now a permanent part of the build. See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406788&page=17

Call volumes were really loud. My biggest problem when I played with 4.3 was the graphical glitches. Call me superficial, but they are very annoying and when trying to use logmein ignition, it was unusable because of them.

I agree that the graphical glitches in 4.3 are annoying but if nobody uses the roms and reports issues and the possible things that trigger them then they will never improve. By the way, what rom were you running?

the paranoid android 4.3, build from last week or so. The graphical glitches apparently are across all aosp ROMs so I don't think its something that will be fixed soon.

I'm running 4.3 and the graphics are the only downside, but someone posted a fix for GPU rendering on page 22 of that thread. Volume and GPS worked great right off the bat.

I am pondering which route to take to get to an ics rom. I recently received a refurb unit, and considering i am coming from ground zero, I want to take the most efficient path to ics. I don't know wether to upgrade to the leaked firmware, or should i simply use a rom that is patched to work with the old firmware. I am open to all arguments.

I personally used the leaked firmware since it was radios and all. The patch is to keep your existing radios and PRL version, but to be able to use newer roms. My rezound with the new radios has better coverage than my wife's which has the original from the ota. Since you are already starting from the ground up I say flash the ruu for the leak.
I am using the leaked ICS RUU and it is working fine for me. I also get better coverage with the new radios.
Since you're at square one, I'd install the leaked firmware.

Aren't there fairly serious problems with screen-on CPU usage, though? There are several threads outlining issues with the new firmware. I am using CleanROM 4.3 with the patch, and my battery life is slightly better than it was before. I'd be very wary of flashing the new firmware until the official OTA, or until s-off is achieved.

unless you have a problem with the radio, go with the patch
so that you can always go back to stock gb when you want or need.

The on-screen cpu usage is not from the firmware its from the kernel. So whether you are running the patch/old firmware or the new firmware, you have the issue as long as you are running the new kernel.
The new ICS does give pretty outstanding battery life, as long as the screen is off. but as soon as you turn the screen on your battery meter turns into a countdown timer. I can go all night without my phone on charger while I'm asleep and it only uses about 5-8% battery in 8 hours. That's pretty good. But during the day while I'm using it with screen on battery life is garbage and the battery gets really hot.
My suggestion is to stay on the OTA gingerbread as long as you can unless you're just really dying for ICS. Wait for the official ICS update with a better kernel. But if you go with ICS I would use the old firmware and patch method. So it makes it easier to go back.

+1 to that. Until they get s-off setup for everyone I would recommend this as well. I toiled forever on whether to do they leak or not. I saw just as many people saying it helped as hurt. At first I chalked it up to the noob factor but once I saw people that looked like experienced flashers having problems I held off. The roms now have old firmware patches so you can run them without the leak. I've ran Clean Rom, Nils and Bored without any problems at all. I've even been able to run the Sense 4.0 roms using the patch. Battery leaves alittle to be desired on some of them but we don't have sources for kernels so that's to be expected. Just my $.02 but it's your phone and the choice is up to you.

Agreed. Just install the patch.
Another vote for the patch. You can always switch to the leaked firmware if you want in the future but you can't downgrade. I recommend holding off upgrading firmware until S-OFF is released. If you are happy with battery life/signal, etc don't mess with it.
I'm on the patch, working great, got 1 day, 18 hours and 30 min last weekend with 19% left. Of course that is very light use but I have never seen that before. I have no problems with coverage or radios
Thanks for all of your pragmatic input. I've upgrade to the leaked firmware on multiple devices, and was tempted to do the same to this one. You guys pretty much reinforced my feelings of trepidation and resovle to obstain from going as far away from Stock gingerbread as possible. It just lowers my inhibitions with its uglyness when placed side by side with my old device running ics. Battery life is paramount though.

I concur... This new leak seems to be a quagmire of sorts with an inscrutable connotation with it's apocryphal results. I show no vexation in calamitous consummations, due to acquiring s-off. I can ascertain that the commendable course of action would be to accede the repercussion, unperturbed: until another advantageous recourse ameliorates.

Assuming that s-off comes in a near term time-frame. We don't all have an extra Rezound to play with, and constantly tweak to work as a daily driver. It's perfectly reasonable to wait for s-off.

Ive had my s3 for 2 weeks now and I look at my s2 and think what a waste.
Don't get me wrong the phone is amazing and is top spec at the moment but im now having doubts that it is a massive difference than my s2.
Now I don't need you to reply with all what its got cos I know all about it.. But I think that there just isn't enough change in the software to make it exciting?
Ie the video that you can have open while your texting? Have you used it? Yes the full screen is ok for watching a movie on the train ect but do you really need to multi task that badly?
Before you start to get all defensive I love Samsung Ive had all 3 now but I really think I can live without the small plus points of the s3?! Notification light is ace and the battery life but other than that? Can't say im to fussed.
Because we are lucky enough to be able to change the look of the phone being android it looks the same as the s2 and no doubt I can make the s2 look like the s3. When I get a new phone I want it to stand out from the older models and be new and have visual differences.
So im thinking of selling up and going back to my s2 until something comes out that will make me happy.
What do you think?

Dude, don't change phone within 3years because you will never find any big difference. All the phones in this world only have small incremental upgrade every 5-6 months. People change phone every year simply because they are spoiled enough to spend recklessly or they are just too rich and boring or they just want to prove they are tech geek.

Spare a thought for the iPhone users. They've had the same software UI since the first release.
I actually half agree with you... In my opinion I prefer the size of the S2 compared to the S3 (just a matter of getting used to i guess). In terms of normal daily usage, there isnt too much of a difference in terms of speed (however the S2 obviously has had a lot more time for development etc) and this will probably change in the coming months as developers work their magic for the S3. The battery and LED light are great additions as mentioned though so far it hasn't seemed to be major upgrade (not that I really expected it to be). While im not going to ditch my S3 (love having the latest and greatest) I do understand those that have 'upgraded' from a S2 and would prefer that few hundred dollars instead.
Also the audio quality was rather mediocre on the S2 unlike the S3 - another reason ill be keeping the S3.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
It depends. I've come from an S2 and I do like the touchwiz UI. One of the reasons I haven't switched over to AOKP is because it's the same look along all platforms and then it just feels like I'm still using the S2. Do what you feel like but i suggest you hold on to the S3 simply because it's the newer one.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Although the GS3's by far the best smartphone i've ever used, yes, i'm thinking about ditching it and getting the Note back - mainly because of the poor standby battery it gets with my network.
And yes, i've tried all roms and modems, kernels, hacks and rests - and 2 different GS3's - but it just does NOT play well with my network. Screen time remains good when used at a stretch.
it's vital i stay connected to my work email at all times on data. Too many fast dormancy related wakelocks + moderate use = Dead battery at the end of the workday - compared to around 40 to 50% battery left with identical usage on the same SIM with the Note.
Going to wait another month or so for possible modems with better compatibility but it doesn't look good and i hate reverting to my painful-to-use 4S to get me through the day.
PS: just reiterate, i am not making a generalization about the GS3's better, just relating what i experience with my network.
Yeah. it's awfully buggy, and I can't do things I took for granted anymore... mainly the phone is so poor at meaningful multitasking that music whist browsing causes horrendously regular cut outs. I think s2 is a better phone - I'd go back if it wasn't for being embarrassed at accepting that I chose a duff new phone (plus my missus has the s2)

Im begining to think getting my S3 was abit of an impulse buy,id only just got a HTC sensation XE which imo is a very good phone,and tbh im thinking that i didnt need a S3
some of the things on this samsung drive me crazy,the screen tint,no mass storage mode,trying to drag photos or videos off the phone is a mare because of the lack of thumbnails,i really hate that !
There doesnt seem much i can do on the S3 that i couldnt do on the XE,the only added feature of the s3 ive really made use of is the taking photo shots while recording video,im going to keep the S3 but getting abit of buyers remorse now lol
Upgrading every fow months or even once a year is a mugs game, only the phone manufacturer wins, coming from the Desire HD its well worth upgrading but if I had the S2 I dont know, its far from obsolete, dont think id be disappointed though
Well im glad im not the only one. Oh and the zero shutter lag is great but I can live without it

I recently had to get a warranty exchange after my charging port stopped working a week after upgrading to ICS. When I asked if I'd have to re-update the new device I was told to hold off because there are a lot of kinks that need to be worked out in terms of the compatibility with this device.
That's fine with me because I did a master reset and all and still had the slow speeds, sporadic behavior, black screens, etc. :sly:

I do not think its a fluke. ICS has a lot of improvements but there is no way its as fast as Gingerbread. I know most people will say I am wrong but Gingerbread is much snappier and its also more simplistic. ICS also eats up more ram but besides speed and ram its very much improved as an OS.

I disagree with this, but only to a certain extent. I have noticed varying amount of lag on both GB and ICS. ICS does seem to use up more RAM on consistent basis, but that alone doesn't really mean that it is slower or indicate that it is the slower of the two OS. GB had its problems for me as well.
Overall I enjoy the user experience much more with ICS than I did with GB. That's not too say that its consistently faster, but overall Ill deal with a few quirks for the upgraded OS.

In my case ICS is MUCH faster, smoother and solid than Gingerbread on my Note.
if you all were running a aosp ics rom . it would be lightyears above gb

Just Use CM9 ICS virtually no lag...
Just flash a rom already

Same problem here, mate. I loved the Note with GB, but it's been buggy as all hell with ICS. The biggest problem is looking at the blank home screen with nothing but wallpaper for up to 30 seconds after closing an app. It's a lot better using GoLauncher rather than TouchWiz, but it still suffers from a lot of lag. Hopefully they'll push out an OTA fix to better regulate resources soon.

even if you don't want to run a custom rom, you should at least do the following:
1. Use Odin to flash the latest cwm recovery
2. Boot to recovery, flash superuser to root
3. Clear cache and dalvik
4. Reboot
5. Profit
Then again, running a custom rom would be an even better idea...

If stock ics is too slow, I think a nice launcher could help if you're not addicted to Samsung widgets. Nova prime or Adwex can speed the home screen up a bunch. Especially with options to reduce scrolling time etc. I thought the stock ics was perfectly fine. I never had any speed issues or complaints, but I was running a debloated, aligned, deodexed version so maybe that had something to do with it.
Obviously best solution is custom Rom though :thumbup:
Good luck peeps.

Yes, I would recommend it... but your reasoning is flawed, ICS is not an "unstable platform" at all, in fact your shiny, new SGS3 will have ICS on it and work just fine as well. ICS for the Rezound is perfectly stable and I use it every day on two different Rezounds.

What are you people saying to get them to let you switch? Who did you call? How many replacements have you gone through?
I'm having issues switching from WIFI to 3g-4g It's a known ICS issue. I'm running stock and have never modded. I'm sure there is a version running out there that this has been fixed but HTC has not pushed it out yet. I'm sure you are aware of all of this anyways. Should I stick around and learn to mod?

My work Rezound is bone-stock OTA 3.14.605.12, and every radio is enabled all day, it switches between WiFi (multiple networks), 4G, and 3G all the time (several times a day) and it has never had a problem once. In fact, that phone hasn't even been rebooted or powered off in at least a month and it just works perfect. My personal Rezound is running the Global Mode RUU, no problems with that one either...
BTW, if it is a ICS thing (which it isn't), your SGS3 will have the same problem, it is running ICS as well on Verizon! And knowing VZW, you will likely be waiting months to get JB on that device as well.
I am not trying to talk you out of it, sounds like a good deal to me, the Galaxy S3 is an awesome device... but your reasoning, or the reasoning that was explained to you, is flawed.

This has been my experience as well, though I'm not on the Global RUU, I'm on the previous OTA (though I did run the RUU to address some battery drain problems I had). This phone is absolutely aces for me. I switch between 4G, 3G and wifi several times a day, although I will say that I do restart my phone every two days after I charge it completely.
I played with a friend's GS3 last weekend, and I can honestly say I hated the UI. TouchWiz just sucks in my opinion. The device itself was awesome though, and I'm sure I'd love to have one, though I'd either root it and install a JB rom or get a different launcher.

Learn how to root/s-off and install a custom rom unless you want to learn how to make your own.
A question to all those getting to replace the Rezound, with the S3, is Verizon looking to swerve you off true unlimited data in doing so? Sounds to good for Verizon to not have an ulterior motive...

just got my gs3
I dont think they are trying to sway us , i kept my unlimited.
There are two things you have go to realize,
a- rezound had massive amounts of problems, they had so many returns , specially after the ics push. its starting to cost them more money
b- they are getting a lot of refurb gs3 back which they are shipping off to rezound customers.

I hate you all!! Curse my rezound for being perfect!!
I think It's crazy how everyone is trying so hard to get an S3 when the S4 is scheduled to release first quarter of next year. Only question is, will Verizon get it?

I'm still happy with my Rezound being unlocked and having the ability to S-Off. I've been rooted/unlocked for a while and theo nly problem I have with my Rezound on near stock ROMs is the battery percentage problem dropping form 20% to 14% with the notification. That's a HTC Rezound problem which has been fixed by developers. Other than that my Rezound works perfectly.

They're announcing it February and releasing it in March. I'd rather wait for that beast HTC is working on, the "DIx" or whatever they decide to call their Phablet.

Lol I'm right there with you. I bought my first Rezound the day after launch and never had any problems with it. I called Verizon a couple of times early on to see about getting a new battery because mine didn't hold a charge and instead of sending me a new battery they sent me a brand new Rezound with new battery so what the hell, I shipped my original back to them. Have had zero problems with the replacement either.

How long have you had your Rezound? I assume you're still paying for insurance and stuff, if its past the first month?
Guy that are getting the S3 as a replacement be careful I had one of my Rezounds replaced and they sent me a 32gb S3 it was labeled 32gb and everything but when I turned it on it was only 16gb so they sent me another and that one had the same problem even the supervisor I spoke to had that problem with the incorrect memory on his so they ended up just sending me a new in box one. So those getting them check the memory to see if it's correct.

I've been on CM10.1.3 stable now for a few months, and I'm pretty pleased with the performance and stability.
I do however want some new features, and would like to move to a newer version.
I have not tried CM10.2, as it's not stable and will never be. All the CM developers have abandoned this device.
However there are some alternatives, like CyanFox, AOSP, Beanstalk, Linaro/Sabermod, CeleriterRom etc.
Are any of these roms as stable as CM10.1.3? Have any of them managed to solve the driver related / device specific bugs in CM10.2?
I have used cm 10.1.3 10.2 and now i am using mokee rom kitkat 4.4.2. I did not have any problem except for the camera result. Every thing works fine.

I'm using custom ROM Kit Kat, but drain my battery a lot
Tried 4.4, fried my motherboard and made me lose my job and one arm....
Lol... Just kidding, 4.4.2 is amazing, running SlimSaber with Dorimanx kernel... Fully functional and stable.
Keep calm and use CM.
Using CM on my S2 for a couple of months put me on sui watch. Just one drama after another; most (95%) of people would be using a build just fine, 5% of people would have some kind of problem so the devs would push a fix that solved the problem for those 5% of people but created a bunch of other problems for the majority of people who had no problems in the first place. Too much 'trying to put square pegs in round holes'. Did my head in, would never use it on any device ever again.

Try SlimRoms. Slim Bean (currently Build 2.2, Android 4.3) is by far the most stable ROM I've ever tried out. 4.4 beta build already out there and stable coming soon!
This Rom is also very stable, too. Can be used as daily driver:

Which CM? 10.1? 10.2? 11? Nightlies or stable?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
Never went near 10, I'm talking about 9. That was more than enough for me, moved on to other roms where stuff 'just works' (people's mileage varies though, obviously).

You are meant to try out the roms for yourself.These types of threads are basically "want to try out roms but cant be bothered reading the 2000+ posts about bugs".
I dont use custom roms for the above reason, as in the past Ive had a rom on the phone for 5 minutes.Also, it takes time to get the phone back into what it was before.
I just normally use a debloated stock rom running a custom kernel, as Ive not seen a better setup than that......lol

Why not try and learn from other peoples experiments? Is that such a bad thing? I don't have the time or desire to try out a new rom every other week, like some people here might.
Back to topic:
1. are the 4.4.2 roms as stable as people say they are? When you say stable, how long is that without crashing or other strange behaviour?
2. does that mean that someone has solved the driver issues present in CM10.2 and CM11? If so, who and how? Or are these problems being ignored?
and please stay on topic
before this im using cm10.1.3 (stable version), then just like you, want something new. so i try 10.2 (nightly version). this nightly version not bad as you think (even there is no "stable" words). so far im satisfied with this 10.2, even though it still keep updating with a new build (20140104 latest build for now)

I also agree. I'm using CM10.2 latest nightly and is like a stable. No crash and no reboot.
Clearly performance aren't so good (expecially during heavy gaming) but for daily usage and light games it's ok.

compared to CM10.1.3 it seems a little faster some places, a little slower in other places, so overall the speed is about the same. But I'm pretty sure battery life is better!
I have not experienced any sign of instability or bugs so far, but it has only been 24 hours. For now I've left ART disabled. Some say ART gives a boost in battery life and performance, but is not 100% stable yet.
Cm11 by @infected_ rock stable and fully working (incl. Hd video recording)
