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 !

The power saving mode is not working.. It's not limiting the cpu and gpu to power saving..

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

having used both (official & balli's) rom i prefer the latter cuz battery backup much better
M Still confused
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
Didn't root.

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..

Please notice that I have said: PHONE STARTS LAGGING AFTER 24 - 96 HOURS OF FLASHING NEW FIRMWARE. If anyone is not having lag issue even after 1 week of flashing firmware, please share your firmware / solution.
Hello friends, a newbie is speaking, but he learns quick,
I have flashed and using P601 ROMs on my P602 for Turkey here. But which I use both P602 rom or P601 rom my device uses too much ram and always laggy. Ram usage is always over %65 up to %90. Once or twice a day my device freezes and I need to power off by holding power button. How can I fix it? Thanks so much for your replies.
Note, I am using Hydronium ROM over the kernel of xKat v2.0 .

You should considering re installing the firmware which specifically matches your model. And ram usage is normal as far I know coz ram is there to be utilized. Free ram is a waisted ram. My note 3 and 10.1 always use more than 80% ram however I have never experienced freezing.
Thanks for your reply. I use my tablet as a phone so I must use p601 rom, already when ı was using original rom nothing was different. Thanks anyway
Hi guys,
i'm trying to reanimate mi Desire HD. Researches at this forum did not help, so i hope you can help me.
I have got some problems with my wifi signal when using custom roms. when i use this rom
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=840040
it works perfect. but at this rom i cant install fresh apps. so i think it could be a kernel issue.
a half year ago i installed the latest radio, version 26.17.14.11 but it didnt work for fixing the wifi problem.
i dont think, that the battery cover will be the problem, because wifi works perfect with the Revolution ROM.
has anybody an idea how i can fix that problem? or any links?
thanks for your help
greetings
Martin
