Ever since the recent firmware update, I am having terrible issues with my GS3 that were not present. Here are a few:
1. Shut down screen pops up randomly and frequently. I could be typing a text or on the internet, and the Shut Down screen will randomly pop up, sometimes 3 - 4 times in a row before it goes away. It's more annoying than anything, but it's still a disruptive problem
2. Screen time out. If I hit the power button to put my phone into sleep mode, the screen will "sleep" until I set the phone down or put it in my pocket, and then it will wake up again (causing me to butt dial or connect to things I don't need to connect to). It refuses to stay in sleep mode. It will sometimes come out of sleep mode randomly while I'm sitting at my desk during the day. I will put the phone in sleep mode when I myself and sleeping at night, and when I wake up the phone has come out of sleep mode and has been awake a long time, resulting in an overheated phone. When it does come out of sleep mode, the Shut Down screen is always present (see #1). It's as if my phone wants to shut down and stay that way, forever (keep it up and I will be sure that happens)
3. 4G connectivity is awful. I receive 2 - 3 bars max during the day. If there are 2 or less bars, I get no 4G connectivity. Once the phone switches to 3G, it will not switch back to 4G unless I shut down (but don't worry, the Shut Down screen is ALWAYS there and available).
Is anyone else having similar problems? Is there a way to reverse this update? My phone was 100% fine prior to this roll-out. Makes me want to switch to iPhone, and I hate Apple products.
