i think it's probably the sim card issue.
go and ask for a replacement from maxis. it's free...

when i got my s3, the people there cut my normal sim to micro sim.
then she said if got issue, then bring back, they change for free.
sometimes if the sim not well aligned, it detects as no sim.
try leave your maxis micro simcard in your phone and leave it on
for maybe 30 mins. then if still no sim, restart the device.
if still the same, bring to maxis change sim card.

Your sim card must have been damaged by some magnetic field or something...
Don't worry. Im sure it will be back to normal after changing the sim.
those maxis center ada buka on sunday right?
but make sure u go to the one which can make new sim.
good luck, bro !

it happened before where my friend's sim card was placed on my phone, it was working, but it was not working on his phone. same message, no sim detected. (both me and him using the same phone model)
my sim card works both on his and my phone.
he ended up to maxis center and they changed a new sim card for him.
and it works after the sim card is changed.
i wonder y....

Maybe he's afraid that the thief might break his screen glass and steal his precious data away. LoL.

Those used in cars, I think it's not suitable as they tend to be thick.
Might affect the touch functionality or the touch might be unresponsive.

Good luck, bro.
I think the warranty doesn't cover damage on cracked screen.
You need to bring it back to Samsung service center for repair.
How long, depends on their technician expertise and the parts they order.

The screen itself might cost a lot... ranging from RM300-500, through
the articles and feedbacks i heard so far...

Menu >> settings >> LED indicator.
Uncheck all.

Drag the notification menu from the above and press on clear.
Hope it clears your notification light.

Not facing such issue. Or probably not yet...???
Been using it since 31 May, still nice and new.
Will be reporting if I found out any fault to the hardware.

Seems like the metallic part is like a thin layer of plastic coating the metal.
So fragile leh... The metallic section is not part of the back cover.
Like this need to find extra protection.
Mine is just protected at the top and bottom...

I'm just wondering, those SP which claims to protect the screen,
some appear to be slightly thick, especially those full body.
do you think it might affect the touch sensitivity or
maybe slightly reduce the tough effectiveness?

I'm using nilkin SP(clear), not 100% covering the screen.
there's a tiny scatch on the SP, which makes it visible on the SP,
like a tiny rainbow string. happens to all SP?

what happen to your phone?
that simcard issue you mentioned previously or a different issue?

oo... 3-7 days considered ok d.
I doubt they will take up to 7 days.
at least it's still under warranty.

now it seems like a few ppl is facing the issue is on
chipping plastic on the metallic area,
as seen from the previous threads.

need to jaga2 not to knock onto any hard surfaces unprotected.

btw, these stuff looks cool...

Some space is reserved for your OS. Having 11.88GB is normal.
If not enough, get microSd card and don't expect to get full 32GB,
you'll get arpimd 29GB++ from a 32GB microSD card.

even on your PC itself, you dont expect to get 500GB from a 500GB hard drive right?
after formatting, you'll be left with a capacity lesser than that.

my fren recommend me to install this app.
Android System Info.

You can check the temperature under the System tab and Battery.

i9300 is the model, which is actually GT-i9300.
The general name is Samsung Galaxy S3.
Other countries may be using other model number such as SGH-i747.

there's only 16GB model available in malaysia.
you can get 32GB model from other countries.
The capacity refers to the internal storage.

You can add on external storage in terms of MicroSD in up to 64GB.

This is a discussion on s3 phones.
Why bother about intel smartphones?
You're on the wrong thread.

Even if it's plastic or metal, if no proper care is taken, still will rosak.
Even metal will dent and glass will chip off.

From the touch of it, already know it's not really metal.
Else it will appear cold and the metallic colour is not like those 'stainless steel' surface.

I still love my S3. Probably planning to get a C-Pen as well.
And the wireless charger in future.
