Good day!

I'm on 4.2.2 for quite some time now. But I have received a 12.97mb update last Thursday and installed it then as well. Since then, my phone's performance was very poor with frequent lags and it sometimes overheats. At few times, however, it would seemingly work fine. I have never experienced this before and I'd like to ask your opinion before I have it fixed in a shop. Thanks!

Hi, good day!

Me too, I am experiencing instability after installing Samsung's OTA update last December 15. The size however of this update is 12.41MB. After the update, most of the apps installed failed to start or have stopped working that I have uninstalled them because the notification to close and send report keeps popping up. Another thing I noticed is the phone became so laggy as $#! :mad: that it takes forever to open the phone from screen lock. It so annoying if you're in a hurry trying to make a call or read some text messages that have just arrive. Samsung screwed up on this update. I hope they send a fix ASAP.

By the way, after this update the Build number has become:

JDQ39.I9082XXUBMK7

Baseband version is:

I9082DXUBMI1

Um.. guys, if you happen to try above solutions but still got slow performance, you can try to install the latest adobe flash plug-in for android 4.0. Yes, google doesn't support flash anymore after 4.0. so download it from a browser, and install it.

I tried to play flash games on my grand duos with os 4.2.2, but the flash player told me to download adobe flash plug-in. It directed me to the web site, and I scrolled down to see the link for android 4.0, and downloaded it. Surprisingly, after installation, my device gotten smooth, opening gallery gotten much faster. I didn't expect it to fix my slow performance, but well yeah, flash plug-in fixed my grand duos slow performance on 4.2.2.
