OK , what do YouThink about android 4.3 , is it stable and no issues Till Now
i Think it'S reported That it's more slower Than 4.1.2
and Ram Consume is higher
Thanks , i apreciat Your help

no its not slower at all its smoother ( specially when scrolling on Facebook and on Google plus ) , it has some nice features : like transparent statues bar , look screen widgets , Gs4 music player , updated gallery , newer GPU driver ( smoother gaming ) .....etc

If you go to 4.1.1 then there is huge risk u brick ur device with sds(sudden death syndrome) so dont downgrade to 4.1.1...

Thanks all

If you really want to go back 4.1.1, before choosing any 4.1.1 rom do check if your device is affected with sds brick bug by installing an app from play store. And after that use some custom kernel like persuis.
Ps me too on 4.1.1 miui rom, why? I'm a miui addict!

first: my phone is i8160L, ive updated to jelly beans but the phone performs really slow. ram is always full and its verys frustrating.
second: ive tried to go back to ginger bread but the phone gets stuck in a bootloop. ive tried with an official firmware and also with the custom which have three parts. none of them works. odin shows me the fail message when i mark re-partition option.
so the thing is: how to really go back to gingerbread?
which files? which firmware? which odin?
is not allowing me not install other firm , only allowed GT-I8160L VERSION ONLY. WHICH ARE NOT WORKING , ANYONE can help me with GT-I8160L WITH 3 FILE or 5 parts please provide link please , thanks

I agree, JB do not perform well at all on th GT-I8160L I got, it can be used if turn of all animation and stuff like that but my biggest loss is that I can not run the 3 apps simultanously I need to use (Skype, Viber, CSip), the phone then is so slow I hardly can use it as a phone, I can never answer because the phone app starts so slow that the other part already hung up when I finally slide for answer :-/
I have EXACTLY the same problem downgrading to GB (I8160DXLF2_I8160OLBLF2_THL.zip), I have the official GB firmware and it installs nicely using Odin 3.07 but it get stuck in the bootscreen. If I then put JB (THL-I8160LDCME1, official thai) on it, no problem and it starts.
What todo? Please advice, anyone?
i m also
im about to upgrade my I860L. to that I860DOME1 .is it so slow that the phone is unusable. ithink flashing cm 10.1 or 10.2 will be faster

[Q] Regarding Android 4.2.2 version SER region.

I have heard about Android 4.2.2 update for Galaxy Grand few days ago. And I have downloaded the firmware from SamMobile. Before i am going to flash this on my device, I would like to ask a few questions regarding the firmware.
1. Is there is any bugs on the official stock ROM ? ( Such as contacts, sensor or else, which i have readed somewhere around this forum )
2. Is it true that battery life drains almost double rate than normal ? ( This is a very serious issue for me )
Well, currently there is only two questions. I hope users here that upgraded to Android 4.2.2 official stock ROM can give me a feedback regarding the ROM. Sorry for my bad english, if there is no problem. I will direct flashing this ROM right away !

I updated my Grand earlier and to me I noticed that it became better than ever! Very fast and slim, bugs fixed, the battery life improved, the new options they added are awesome. . personally I do think it's just perfect! I wouldn't have asked for more

Hi Dear Users of Samsung Grand Gt-i9082
yes its very true there are a lot of cases reported in Pakistan after OTA/Fota update users are unable to use the Samsung Galaxy Grand model Gt-i9082 , because its too much hanging, you can say so that phone is frozen , users are even unable to click on apps button, and in download mode there is a read colored information added, its solution which i explored and practically check, after that your phone will be work perfectly as it was working before, just you need to downgrade your phone into
version 4.1.2. I hope i will resolve all the issue.
Thanks & Regards
Sherry

[Q] Any other solution other than reverting back to 4.1.2 for lag issue ?

I am fed up with the lag issue in this GRAND duos. tried all these methods
(1) reverting back to amf7
(2) flashing bna4
(3) flashing ubmk3
(4) disbaled stock gallery app
(5) disabled as many as possible official apps....
All the solutions proved to be just temporary. After 24 hours to 4 days it starts lagging again. Now I am sick of flashing firmwares.
My phone is under warranty up to 19 April. If I go to service center and ask for replacement of motherboard/phone, will they replace just on the complain "my this phone hangs a lot. I have googled and found that many users have flashed other firmwares yet phones lag. These users say that this problem has no solution but replacement of motherboard?" (I cannot tell them that I have flashed other firmwares myself).
If any user with same problem has flashed custom ROM, please share your experience.
Bro, though I've never flashed a custom rom on my grand , but my Grand is rooted and I've flashed a lot of mods on it , but my Grand never lags . It is very fast and buttery smooth . I want to ask you that wether you directly started flashing custom roms on your galaxy grand or in the beginning you just rooted and flashed some mods like me ?
@MohdGhufran
From what date is your last stock ROM?
I'm having the same problem. But I've used the CM11 on another occasion and did not face any problem. Then I went back to Stock and updated the same last week.
The phone was very bad (lag). So I returned to the CM11, but the lag continues.
I'll try an earlier stock and after the CM11.
I'll post the result here.
(Sorry for my English by Google)
@Mohdgufran - I agree... I m running umbmk1 ... after 3 to 4 days with out restart the phone starts to lag...
The only solution temporarily is to clear the ram in task manager...
Stay wid 4.2.2 and use a ram cleaner (it sucks a bit battery but its the only possible non technical solution)

Have you tried a factory reset, followed by clean flashing a smooth ROM?? In my experience, THAT always solves any problem...

Its the stock rom that is cursed..:/
I think u need a reverse gear.. First back to 4.1 version then flash with 4.2 November month version then use cm 11 custom rom.. Its fast.. Gud battery back up.. No lag.. And all with dual sim.. I hope this will work for u..
Try greenify and the cleaner both are small apps (around 1 mb) and it will speed up your phone .....
Hit thanks if you find this usefull

I have not flashed any custom ROM on this phone. Neither have I rooted it. This lag issue started since my bro got an OTA update. So, as per solutions/guidance available on xda, I just flashed official firmwares (which proved to be just temporary solutions)

it is not like that stock ROMs are not good. It is just a problem with Galaxy Grand Duos. I had rooted my Galaxy R and Galaxy S Advance and had flashed Custom ROMs. All the custom ROMs had some limitations / missing features (like USB PC connection, wifi tethering, USB tethering, etc). This is why I do not want to flash any custom ROM on Galaxy Grand.

Yes I had tried this. Went back to 4.1 and the upgraded to 4.2. This too proved to be a temporary solution.
I don't want to flash custom ROM but now it seems like I will have to flash the same.
I solved my problem by not installing facebook and twitter as well as also installed battery saver pro which kills apps running in background for every five minutes..

Download the stock NE1 France firmware from here (don't worry flashing another country's firmware wouldn't kill your device).Uzip the file you'll find a .tar file.open odin tick mark the AP tab and select this .tar file that you extrcated connect your phone to pc odin (phone should be in download mode) wait for ID COM Port on top left to turn blue in pc ODIN and hit start then.Sit back and watch it do it's magic
