Guys, what happened to those with loose power button on their pebble blue? Can get a 1 to 1 exchange? Or have to claim through warranty? Sorry if this has been asked, the thread is too fast or me to keep up.

I'm probably going to collect my S3 this weekend, and plan to check the power button there and then. So wondering whether I can ask for 1 to 1 exchange if it is loose, cause if claim warranty will have to wait for a few weeks.

Ok so as long got defect, can one to one change on the spot. Ok thanks for the info. That puts my mind at ease. Looking forward to getting my blue s3.

Finally got my pebble blue S3. TS please add me in the proud owner list.

Btw the salesperson say have to charge say first time charge up to 8 hours? Is that true? cause within two hours like that, the thing charged full already...

Ok thanks for the reply. Another question, some say it is good to deplete the battery until zero then only charge. Is that true? Sorry for the noob question.

Alright thanks for the info.

Guys, I couldn't access play store. It keeps coming out 'connection time out'. But internet over wifi seems to be fine, I can open stock browser. In fact, I could go to google play webpages through browser. And funny thing, is when browsing apps through google play website, there is something like 'this app is suitable for Xperia X10i' (my old phone). Oh and apps that were installed in my old phone, is shown as installed in the website even though I don't have it in my S3. I don't understand why, very weird... I use application manager find google play store app, and clear data, clear cache, force stop and restart the app, but still can't get it to work... Reboot phone also can't work... Anybody with any ideas, please help me... Thanks.

My account is listed under there bro. But I used that same gmail account for my old phone last time. Is there some settings I should change or something? Will there be a problem if there are two phones under the same gmail account?

Ok thanks guys. Will try that.

An update to my problem, I've tried removing account and re-login, no luck still couldn't work. Also I read up a little about the google play account, apparently we need to at least enter the play store once with a new phone before it will appear in the phone list in google account. I have not been able to enter play store since I got the S3, no wonder my google account shows only xperia x10i.

So anybody knows what else I can try to get the play store to work? Will a factory reset help? Also is it possible for me to uninstall the play store and reinstall again? I have a rooted phone. It seems weird that everything else including samsung apps can connect to the wifi but not play store.



I feel for you bro. There must be something that can be done to at least block the phone from being used. I hope you will be able to track and recover your phone.

Nobody has any suggestion to help me solve my problem? Two days now and I still haven't get my phone up and running cause I couldn't get into play store.

Thanks for the reply bro. I'm usually surrounded by wifi at home and in office, so I don't subscribe to data. But I guess I could get a pass from Maxis for a day. Thanks for the suggestion, worth a try.

If I do a factory reset for the first time, I will lose all data right? Including apps that is pre-installed in the phone? I think I read that somewhere in this forum if I'm not mistaken...

Ok thanks will try that. One more question, before try factory reset, I want to try uninstall play store. I have root, so I just need to access the root folder and delete the apk corresponding to play store is it?

Sorry I'm not an expert in this, but while googling I found apk of google play store, I thought I could perhaps reinstall using that?

Yea I did, clear data and clear cache of play store, still couldn't work. The account should be correct, my contacts sync to gmail is correctly displayed in contacts list. Also if I browse google play website, they mention that certain apps is compatible with my old phone (xperia X10i), so I think the account log in is working.

In any case a clean factory reset sounds a better option, I think I'll do that. Luckily I can download titanium backup free apk without needing play store.

Thanks for your help bro.

Thank you all who gave me advice. I finally got my play store to work lol. Had to do factory reset/wipe dalvik cache and reinstall firmware with odin. But it is working now, thank you very much guys.
