Looks like built in overcharges feature. Unable to charge using the 2A port but able on the 1A port on my external yoobao 11200 mAh charger.
I could charge my ex sgs II n g note with even the 2A port

uncle so how? sgs3 thumbs up or down? how does it compared to gnote?

Immediate impression very much slicker n smoother than note on touchwiz UI. Looks like I will keep this UI as now apps can be sorted alphabetically
Browser is extremely fast .n very responsive proving those web reviewer comments. It definitely beats the HTC one X convincingly here

I took some screenshots than I did a factory reset before installing any 3rd party apps. Noted all screenshots wipe out in Pictures/Screenshots folder
This never happen in the SGS, SGS II, G Note - factory reset will only wipe out apps in hidden partition but all data in viewable partition is not affected. Maybe is the new data allocation in one single partition is affecting it ?

The crowd this morning at Celcom booth at Mid Valley was just unbelievable. I see long queques as if it is free. Even paying for my unit I need to wait 20 mins !!
Noted many buyers taking up phones without contract too like me

erk? does this means need to back up EVERYTHING in the phone before factory reset?
*
Need some more tests ; will copy some audio files over and try factory reset again
Better make up a backup of your added stuffs in internal SD card first at ext SD card or PC hard drive

BTW the mounting of the external SD card is at root and now at /mnt/extSDcard no more as in SGS II in sdcard/external_SD

how to access it then using explorer without root?

No need root to access files - just use the default My Files or any File Explorer app
What I mean the ext sdcard is now mounted at root /mnt

Just tested again second time . I copy some audio files over to internal SDcard. Hard reset it gain - files wipe out

So guys better have a backup of your added stuffs in the internal SDcard - especially critical when you plan to flash roms as wiping data will be involved
