Blaze, 06 Dec 2013Love the new 1x1 Assistive Ligh and Active App Widgets :) H... moreAgreed. It was so nice when I noticed it (I use Nova Launcher, and the widget, besides being 2x1 because of the amount of rows and tiles that I use, it was HORRIBLE and was only a grey square/rectangle with some random letters on it. It's so nice the light bulb of 4.3 :)

              AnonD-202646, 03 Nov 2013updated my S4 GT-I9500 via kies to indian firmware INU 4.3 ... moreSame problem here. I contacted the Samsung people. They told me to go to an authorized service centre. But they will probably tell me to factory reset it and I have too much data that I don't to lose. So I am just waiting with the hope that Samsung will provide a fix for the same. :(

                updated my S4 GT-I9500 via kies to indian firmware INU 4.3 MJ8 21 oct build ... now after the update, notification bar would not pull down after call ends... calling up someone fixes it .. but thats kind of annoying everytime for fix.. even opening the camera app resets the transition animation scale to 1 from 0.5 ... need the update fix ...

                      AnonD-145045, 21 Oct 2013It's the galaxy s3 and note2 that don't support "open... moreactually even exynoa 5420 still can not support openGL ES 3.0 correctly.

                      asphalt 8 lose a lot of effect.
                      because of the poor support on openg les 3.0. and while running antutu opengl 3.0 benchmark appx all the shader effects are gone. So, even mali-t628 mp6 supports openGL es 3.0 on hardware, but SAMSUNG did not pay lots attention on software.

                      it is very disapionted.

                        What's Up Samsung? Two week has passed and you've released only 9 out of 109 firmwares!

                        See source: http://www.sammobile.com/2013/10/17/samsung-galaxy-s4-lte-gt-i9505-receives-official-android-4-3-update/

                        What's taking you so long? Shame on you Samsung – and you too stupid carriers.

                        Why is it so difficult. It should be one firmware to everybody and bloatwares should not be included in the ROM itself. My carrier in Finland doesn't even put any bloatware so why do I have to wait.

                        Previously I had a Gnex but that thing is just too underpowered. I wish I could have waited for nexus5. Oh well..
