Just bought the galaxy s III. Very disappointed. I live in a 4G coverage
area, but can’t get 4G! Have to use WiFi to do anything other than making
phone calls. Never had this problem with my droid charge.
Paid full price as I was not due for an upgrade, but if the fix doesn’t come
out within the next few days, I’m going to return it and go with a different phone.
It’s really stupid to have a “smart phone” you can only use over WiFi to use
Online apps and stuff! Even the 3G signal is horrible!

Mike – you’re not alone on the batter life. I’m down to 21%
when I’d normally be at 50 or 60% and I am wondering if I’ll even make it to the end of my work day. When I
look at the battery info, 60% of the usage is the Android System which is obviously not normal. Does anyone have a real solution for this?

I got the update over the weekend, tried to stop it from updating my
phone like the last one that got pushed out, but this time I was not
lucky. My phone vibrated and then I looked at it 15 minutes later and on
the screen saw an update complete message. My phone was rooted and
didn’t have any sim card issue, signal strength was good, except for GPS
losing signal now and then.

Well now I lost root, so not sure if I can reroot, and I actually got
the no sim card message for the first time after the update, and GPS
still is the same.

Dont reset. Mine started working again with this update. They pushed it to the phones with the service unavailable error. when checking yesterday, there was an update available. now the Service unavailable has returned to no new software product is up to date when I check.

Anyone else having much worse cellular signal strength after the update? I hadn’t dropped any calls in the two months I have had the phone and in the day since I updated, I have dropped six calls.

Since the update installed on mine last night I noticed today
a notification saying, Backup completed.
Looks like the update turns on the Verizon Backup Assistant. I had it turned off.
That will run your battery down if it has to upload a lot of stuff I am sure.
