Wonder if memory leak has been addressed.
Running it for 23h, Android OS usage has risen from . 9 to 1.1 GB. I know still inconclusive, just wanted to know your milage guys.

Mine has settled at 0.99 GB

Yeah mine has been fluctuating between 1.1gb and .99gb on system.

I've just installed it. It seems flawless but I'm having an annoying bug. The recents screen doesn't work anymore. Anyone like me?

Freeze or uninstall SDM and reboot. That's what I did, saw some other post here saying the same thing.
Really? Custom romantic and recovery and you got an ota? I'm running beans 11 and nothing was pushed to my phone

I'm running rooted stock and it's forcing me as well. I thought it was disabled on all the root roms even stock ones? Not sure how to stop it other than keep defering it.
OTA
I just accepted the OTA, restored to factory defaults, one step rooted it, got rom manager from the play store, booted into clockwork and then reapplied my rom. No biggie.

Just because it worked ok on yours doesn't mean it will on everyone's. Good way to brick your device...
Is this the new security fix? I heard there was a major browser vulnerability.

Probably not, they don't like to fix actual problems. They prefer to make minor tweaks and such to their bloat instead. You didn't want your device to actually work as advertised did you?
what's the baseband version after ota?
can someone upload the latest ota?

What's up crew?
After my update the baseband version is I535VRLG7.
I used Mobile Odin pro to PRE-ROOT the OTA before flashing it.... Successfully I should add.
I don't have the OTA Handy for you though, but if you do a little searching around this forum I'm sure someone has it here for downloading.
The OTA did not update my modem though, I had to flash the G7 baseband version separately. Found it on RootzWiki.
Edit:
Found it: OTA update.

You guys can .... SAFELY... check your device to see if you're vulnerable to the hack on this site.
http://www.androiddoes.net/news/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-ussd-hack-test/
Read up on the page.. it says something about if Your Dialer screen coming up and your IMEI is being displayed on it then you have the Vulnerability.. if nothing happens.. or if your dialer comes up with nothing being displayed then you're probably safe.

The phone wipe hack was fixed months ago on the S3. I took the OTA then unlocked (casual) and unlocked boot loader (EZ Unlock). No problems no issues. Slammed Beans 12 non-kexec back on it and I really don't see any difference.... World didn't end Phone police didn't knock my door down.... Nothing....

[Q] Should I downgrade to 4.2.2 for RAM?

Hello,
so I just got my Shield in the mail today and so far ... haven't done anything with it. I want to use RAM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661067&page=9). This tool looks awesome and the developers apparently put a lot of effort into it. However, I am not a 100% sure what I should do next.
1. If I understood correctly, it also works with 4.4.2? My Shield is already at that version.
2. If not, I downloaded the 4.2.2 image from Nvidia Dev program. Are there any advantages to downgrade except for being able to use RAM?
3. Does streaming of steam games still work with 4.2.2? (My reason to buy the Shield )
Thanks in advance for any help!

latest ota
Am i missing something when it comes to staying on 68? Im on the latest ota and ive never had a problem with anything...
I use Sd Maid/unlocker and Fstrim premium of course so my android experience is a little quicker and smoother than others....
But ive never had an emulator crash, never had streaming crash, never had bad streaming, never had youtube jumps...whats the sole purpose of staying downgraded? Haha i had to have missed something...

Are we sure it fixes the gyroscope issue? I just sent mine back to samsung to get fixed.

I'm glad it fixed your issue Ram9200. Maybe we can put the quick charger issue to bed now.
No workaround for root at the moment?
Won't let me update due to modified software.. How do I go about doing it manually?

Can someone tell me if the standby draining bug and memory leak were fixed?
Installed last night, let's hope this fixes the memory leak issue (although I'm not too hopeful, still waiting for 5.1.1 ..)

Can anyone who updated to OE2 try using Odin3 to go back to OCF? As you know, OCF has successful Root for it that doesn't trip the Knox counter.
If OE2 doesn't get Knox-free Root later, I want to know if downgrading to OCF via Odin is an option.

This is just the most recent update. Proceed as normal. It was merely a "security patch" supposedly. But haven't heard much of anything different.

Since it was published as an OTA, i would advise you to stay calm for now. Sometimes excitement kills you at the end of the day. That's what i experienced before. Being so excited with the update, am I'm busted with bugs and bloatware like hell. While others who running the patch & installed after few weeks gap from mine is having a good life afterwards.

Lol. Yes. I know how does it feels if we are receiving an update once in a blue moon from an ignorance support team. I was using RM 6pro previously, and just received only four updates for whole 1 year i am using it. I feel you bro.
Yeah I have the 6spro as well..I finally have seen the download for the V3.17 on redmagic website but when I click to download it takes me to a page that says No Such Key and stuff
The only problem I have is when playing PUBG I will get kicked out to my home screen..weird
