Hi all!
first sorry if I'm posting it in the wrong section..
Ok well my sister bought a brand new Galaxy S5 and she gave me her old S3 and I am pretty much excited about it as I finally jumped for my old iPhone 3GS to S3
Ok so here's the thing! right now the S3 is on the 4.1.2 (Jellybean) and I search a little over the net and found out that Samsung announced that the S3 will not support the latest FW 4.4 (KitKat). When I go to check for updates my phone starts to download the update which is about 500MB in size and I believe it's the FW 4.3 update and I heard from some people and even googled it that the 4.3 update has a lot of bugs especially the consumption of battery which increases crazily.
Now I need advise that should I update my phone or use it on the FW I have right now? or Update and factory reset it which will erase all the content from the phone and make it as fresh as a new set which I believe might cure those problems?
HELP!
