Who I have the same questioned this topic

Not that I have anything new to share here. But my wife and I both have the S3 and since the update we have had the same issues. I'm getting tired of plugging my phone in everywhere I go. It dies in no time with hardly any use and all this since 4.3 was installed. I had a similar issue with my Thunderbolt when they added it's last update before I had to get rid of it and get this phone. It worked perfectly then the update ruined it. My S3 is the same way, maybe Verizon is just trying to get us to upgrade to a newer device. If I could have, I would have already rooted this one and went back to the previous version. I went to a Verizon store about this problem, they told me to upgrade to a newer device. I just bought this one last fall. The problem is not the device, it is software. Verizon doesn't seem to care. Months and no even whisper of a possible update that I have heard.
