Phone unstable since Jellybean update

Lark3

Immediately following the Jellybean update to my GS3, my phone began to randomly restarts multiple times, even when I'm not touching it. This is occurring several times within a day. My phone also freezes up at least a couple times a day. The only way to get the phone to operate correctly is to remove/replace the battery, or sometimes just leave it alone for awhile, which will usually result in a restart, without me initiating it. Lastly, my battery drains really fast. I can no longer make it through a day on a single charge.

Am I the only one having all of these problems? If so, maybe it's just coincidental that the problems began immediately after the jellybean update.

I'm having the same problem.  I too have had the S3 for several months before Jelly Bean and I loved it.  Now, it's really buggy and I have many annoyances...actually noticed three problems come to mind:

1. Bubble notification on lock screen is no longer there when a new message arrives.

2. Signal weakness.  I'm dropping calls in places that I normally can make and hold calls.

3. Battery Life.  It drains much faster than before the software push.

Is Verizon planning on fixing this or am I going to have to jump through hoops to have a working telephone again?
