bro.. can give full name for this apk application.. coz when i search.. a lot of application of apk..
wanna install also... hehehehe
*
Mostly apk comes from direct source such as from the developer itself, xda, amazon or the apk official website. But many also comes from black market for side downloading. Be very carefull when downloading from this type of site. You might get a corrupt/re-written apk that might give problem to your phone later on.

Instead of the normal 3G icon, I have an arrow icon pointing to the left with a "-" inside the arrow.
This is on the top left hand corner.
Anyone knows what it means?

I thought it was the indicator for 2G reception but when I put 2 units side by side, 1 has the 3G sign and the other the arrow icon pointing to the left.

Thanks for your help.
*
That because you disable you notification. Open your tray and enable your notification the the arrow will disappear.

More Service is a pre-installed app by Samsung. Your pjone should have that app. Open it and search for Flipboard

hi i am new to android and smartphone
this maybe a silly question to ask
i have setup the alarm & then switch off the S3
but it wont ring after the time reached, is it common??
My previous K850i can automatic turn on the alarm even though the phone is in off mode.
thanks in advance!

Your alarm wont work/ring IF you switch off your phone.

My blue set got yellow tint problem. Plan to change white one.

Good luck to you. Try to exchange at the shop that you bought your phone. If you go to service centre, they will hold your phone then change the screen only. You might get a better screen or you might getting an even worst screen than you have now.

Bro , but I bought from digi center at 1u. It is better to bring it back to them or sc ?
*
Better go to digi centre first and try for 1 to 1 exchange.
Samsung service centre mostly for service and repairs only. All service or repairs done within one year is covered by warranty hence it's free of charge.

Just flash in PC using Odin stock official rom ( now avaialble to download ) and all traces of root n CWM will be wipe off
But seriously Samsung Service Center never bother. Unrooting only for paranoid users who fear about warranty loss which is a nonsense

TS should put on 1st page about rooting and the link for downloading ~~sigh~~

before u root u must first decide what root function u want. if not don't root. people who root for fun are the geeks.

At this moment only four things can be usefull about rooting
- can do Nandroid backup
- can freeze or un-install bloatwares
- can use market enabler to download apps not meant for our region.
- can stop advertisment from keep popping ups.
More can be done once custom rom and kernel built by developers.

Mind to share how to stop advertisement from keep popping up?

You have to root first.

- backup is catch 22. if i don't root i can't do titanium backup. but if i root i may risk loosing my data before i even do a titanium backup.
- i am living happily without this feature.
- don't think i need market enabler. i only use a handful of apps, mainly for work and family.
- i don't visit porn sites too often. tongue.gif

i am just a user. i do not need to be a power user. or at least i don't want to complicate things with my to be beloved s3.

( i sound qualified to be an iphone user)

Bro..nobody force you to root your phone. Like i said..the phone is already good when it comes out from the box.
What i'm trying to say is TS should put a link on how to root the phone so wr can avoiding the same question about rooting again and again.

i keep getting a notification that says: currently unable to download please try again later. it appears at the bottom of the screen.

once it pops up, there's nothing that i can do to make it go away except restarting the phone. is this a known bug with a fix, or should i take it back?
*
Try do hard/factory reset and see if your problem solved.

QUOTE(weileong @ Jun 7 2012, 05:57 PM)
Actually cost of S3 and Gnote battery is cheaper than last time like Nokia premium model which battery alone RM299 or something...i was shock when 1st i see the Gnote battery cost at RM139 which cheaper than i thought.

RM2k + HP battery should be around RM199++

are you sure the S3 battery build in NFC ?
*
Yes..S3 battery got NFC anttenna attached. Be carefull when buying 3rd party extended battery. Your NFC might not working when using that type of battery.

agreed! when TS has time later can include the rooting process step by step so that no one could ever ask it again and again.

and btw, would like to ask, if i root the phone, can i still receive official updates from Samsung when they are released without any conflicts etc?

here's a simple way for rooting too.

Yes..you can receive FOTA updates provided that you root but stay on official stock roms. Buy SuperSU Pro so you superuser will survive FOTA. Another easy way is you manually update your firmware using Mobile Odin.
