mattyjnz: Is anyone using Instagram on their S3, I have been trying to use it for ages, but keeps force closing. Nothing seems to fix it, have cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, but still not working properly. Anyone else having any problems? Mine works but does crash occasionally. However, I can't use the flash. If I do, it always crashes.

Anyone know what the difference between MA1 and MA2 is? I can't find a changelog anywhere... Galaxy SIII, Galaxy Note 10.1, ASUS UX31e Ultrabook, Mysky HDi, 2talk

hairy1: Anyone know what the difference between MA1 and MA2 is? I can't find a changelog anywhere... Samsung don't publish changelogs, so there's no official way to know. From reading some forums, it's mostly small bugfixes. Nothing to be too excited about.

Well it was a 2degrees phone that I bought from The Warehouse Stationery but when I took it back to be fixed for SDS they flashed a Vodafone ROM on to it (at least that's what their repair form said, how do I tell for sure?)

BTW i use stock with nova as launcher. thanks for any suggestions. Lots of people are reporting lags and freezes with both MA1 and MA2. Everyone says that it's because of the eMMC "sudden death" fix. There is, of course, zero evidence the two are related, but it's a plausible explanation. So there's not much you can do. Reboot sometimes helps...

If they didn't also change the phone's CSC, then you still won't get the update. EDIT: Type in #12580369# and tell us what the CSC code is please.

And it's not like the custom ROMs are any better. "Look how much faster my phone is, now half the features don't work anymore!"

MurrayM: CSC is I9300NZCELL1 Which is still a 2Degrees CSC. So your phone hasn't been properly flashed to Vodafone, if at all. Sorry :)
