Has anyone experienced battery drain after this update? I got this update on Saturday and have not increased my phone use since then, but my battery is draining at a much faster rate now. By this time of the day, I would normally have 70-65% battery life left and I’m at 50%. Anyone else? Thanks!

I thought I was the only one who thought that the GS3 had bad reception. In areas where every other Verizon phone has bars, my gs3 won’t have anything. Or, it’ll show two or three bars and be unable to send a text when.

I had a bad gps radio in mine. Had to get it replaced. Flash to stock if not, then go in and show them. They will do a reset on-site and try maps again. If it still lags or is off location, then they will replace. Love my new one! FYI, I use gps every day for work and mentioned my reliance on it. Say you do too

Same problem few days ago >> Real Fix = Change the SIM Card. Verizon Store crew = Incompetent and/or stupid.

The problem was coming from last update corrupting the SIM CARD update line. And the new update supposed to fix that.

Glad this was fixed before JB major update. Let’s hope that VZW will change the 2013 to 2012 JB Update.

Exactly. The carriers have to pay full price for the iPhones, so they actually lose money on every sale. They eventually make it back in monthly charges, but that’s a pretty big hit right off the bat. One of my buddies works as a sales rep in a VZW retail store and they are trained to show customers EVERY other phone first when the customer asks for an iPhone.

I wish they would have activated Allshare Cast so it would show up under settings. I have my wireless dongle, but it is of no use without that feature activated.

What is the dBm and asu, just out of curiosity. And are you sure it may not be the distance away from the towers? I have great phone reception because i have a regular tower a hlf mile away from my home, but my data speeds suck because the closest 4g towers are both 8 miles away. I read if you are anywhere outside of 4 miles from a 4g tower your speeds will suffer dramatically.

Took mine into Verizon because I was tired of the GPS issues after a few months. They told me they could not get it to work either. After 20 minutes it did work, which typically happens. They told me to bring it back and they will replace if it still does not work. Today, it did not work. Took it in, they told me it was the old (grey) SIM card, that I needed a new one (red). That did not fix it, so tomorrow I will be getting a new SIII.
