Got it for WIND. Saw many videos of it and it didn't seem different what so ever. Now that I actually use it it does seem faster. We are talking small amounts since the S3 is so good, but everything for me is super fast. I did a benchmark test and get right at that 6000 mark

Updated a few days ago. This update messed up my stock browser. Whenever I am scrolling in the browser it zooms in. So annoying. Had to switch to firefix for now. Hope theres a fix for that soon.

No, photosphere is in 4.2. You updated to 4.1.1.

4.2 is sweet, but even 4.1.2 on the S3 look awesome. 4.1.1 is basically exactly the same only the worlds smallest speed increase everywhere.

wifi off unless i need it (mind u the network/LTE consumes more power) for instance i leave wifi on when sleeping
i hate auto screen brightness, messes with my eyes, i just put it at a reasonably low level
i also "kill tasks when you exit them" in developer options

Wont that interfere with emails, notifications etc?

Yeah I turned off the sync. I thought I wouldn't get my whats app message but I still do. Yeah if you turn of sync, no more push for emails, but I don't mind checking my emails manually. My battery life is a little better. Anybody have this happen to them. I leave my phone plugged in and on (wifi on) charging for the night. In the morning its 100 percent. Once I unplug, my battery drops to like 99 percent. This happens in a matter of a minute.

Yeah happens to me too, but I had the same thing on my previous phone (captivate), so I dont think its uncommon.
