    The update created a 17 second delay with my phone.
    Now off on time according to GMT and other phones that simultaneously went off with alarms.

      I got the update and I noticed that on my keyboard, I can't turn off the volume on the microphone. If anyone knows how to resolve this issue please help.

          I got the update in Pakistan. The update fails over and over again asking for removing data cable, remove and reattach battery and turn on again and retry.

            Got the update yesterday in Australia, 12/12/13, 116MB. First thing I noticed was the sound had more tone ie. it was not as high pitched or tinny sounding. I then noticed the keyboard skin. But I have noticed my phone is having a few more hanging issues then I was originally.

              I'm using the octa core version I got the update today I knew its the same update because the keyboard's skin changed
              The thing here that I used to have haigh usage of ram all the time I'm using my mobile for like only 2 weeks and ram usage was between 1.5gb to 2.3 gb all the time it better now not by much but j just can feel it
              Any suggestions to reduce ram usage ??

                          I don't like the new keyboard. I don't see any other differences. But I was at the hospital all evening so maybe I haven't noticed yet

                                      So today I got the update...and my phone does not work correctly now. Think I was given more bugs than what they fixed. keep getting error messages about direct pen input has stopped and processor errors. not to mention that it is running unbelievable slow. What happened???
