    @threein99, I had that too, very common apparently... fixed it with this:

    Settings / Mobile networks / Access Point names / Meteor data or Meteor WAP / Proxy option
    and then delete the proxy settings there.

    Then Powercycle the phone (remove the battery, from phone when turned on) the switch phone back on and check the connection.

    That proxy option is blank already

    Since I done the update, my phone appears full of bugs, is extremely slow. I'm totally fed up and don't want to do any resets.

    Any advice?

    @Knine - It's very common after an update. The only solution is a factory reset. Backup up everything before you do the reset.

    I'm seriously getting f*cked off with the battery life. I think it's time I go back to ICS. :mad:

    I'm seriously pissed off to be honest:(

    I did not even want to do an update and now this happens. Not good enough and I think I will be heading back to Apple.

    I love the S3 but it will take me ages to back up everything and customise it the way I want it. I have updated before and this never happened.:mad::mad:

    The phone usually irons itself out after a few days. Not harm to restart the phone every now and again. Then try factory reset if problem persists.

    I'm starting to think the battery life problem may be down to google Now doing it's background stuff, it always has a card or two waiting for me no matter when I look at the device. anyoe turn it off to see if that helps?


    I know it's been said before but Titanium Backup WOULD BACKUP EVERYTHING and put it all back the way you had it after. Only thing is you need t be rooted first.

    Turn off your data when not being used and Google now won't be a problem

    I've switched off everything I possibly can (including Google Now) and it's only made a slight difference unfortunately :(
    I'll root it soon and start freezing some apps with Titanim Backup.

    Near field communication.

    Seems to be a big battery drain.

    I've noticed the mobile data takes a much worse toll on the battery since updating. If that's turned off, I could easily get 2 days of battery I'd say.

    What's the point of having a smart phone with no data?
