you flash stock above rooted stock, your data not lost?

hai..im new user for s3..just got it yesterday...this is my first time using an android phone..i have several question regarding the phone.

1. why my ram status stay at 602/780..is this normal..its quite high right?
2. did apps like ''S suggest'' ''AllShare Play'' ''video player'' ''music player'' ''gallery'' ''maps'' keep on running automatically?...i did closed all the apps...but a few minuttes later it will automatically on back..who to close it?

not lost any data...

1 and 2 is same context question, yeah high but dont worry about any application running in background, let RAM work for you, never use any task manager unless you wanna open very big apps taht need big RAM

I'm facing the same problem too. Usually i solve the problem by exit to homescreen before i lock my phone.
I realised that the problem only occurs when i lock my phone while i'm still in the messaging app.

ok..thanx for the info...i really thought that my s3 has some kind of problem....
any recommended apps for new user?..

waitin for stable siyah

may i know the answer to this question too. so once i root my stock firmware, KIES can't be used anymore for future upgrades (i am talking stock firmware upgrades)?

i am not interested to use custom firmwares. i just want my stock firmware rooted that's all

thanks for the usual prompt answer

p.s. this should put on the first page. non geeks like me rooting their phones will always come across this problem.

erm recommend for new user ek..samsung apps..editor choice

KIES can be used still even ur phone is rooted provided you still stay on a stock firmware by Samsung. but if you allow any OTA update to ur phone, it means you will lose your root, thats all.

Whoa. What a very... long thread. I forgot which 1 I was last seen at.

After updating, I did not root my phone. For now, lol. @Ramz, update, run root again after update from KIES, simple.

anyone heard fav / ve brand? their sp selling for rm36 here, dunno want buy or not, now no sp yet for my phone, and also no microsd

what brand is that? Nilkin? Benks? So expensive.

Haha. If you think THAT is expensive, wait for 3M Estoc.

Just downloaded and flashed the Stock ROM from SamMobile. The ROM is actually from Phillipines (GLOBE) but somehow changed to reflect Malaysia.

yeah so far im pretty impressed. the s3 on stock battery life is better than my s2 with root and cm9.

the LED notification is super awesome in the office. i dont have to continuosly wake the screen to see if anything came in. but i wanna start modding the phone la. hehe so itchy try checkrom3.5.

normally its advisable to do right after rooting right? imagine its not done, and there is an issue with the phone and you are not able to use triangle away. then you send it for claim, they check the phone and manage to boot and check that the counter has increased. bye2 warranty. just to be safe, and since its so simple, better just reset the counter.

unlike the S2G, need to get jig and all..at least this phone is simple. on the i9100g we can count the amount of Roms with one hand. on this phone im so confused on which to use...hahahahah

but i heard the 3M Estoc is insanely excellent good SP

Anyone here using the below apps???

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=facebook+sync&c=apps - Facebook Contact SYNC

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...S5qYi5nb3NtcyJd - Go SMS Pro

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...b2tleWJvYXJkIl0. - Go Keyboard

Apparently, after updating the latest update my phone touch wiz keep restarting... I send my phone to Samsung service center and they suspected these few apps...

Y guys facing this problems??? Will this problem still occur if i root it??? Need some helps from all the sifu here...

get a case. sure got free screen protector inside. I'm using the free screen protector that come with the case.

Not sure if grass is always greener on the other side or what, but the red one looks freaking amazing.

Lol. I was selling em back in the day, and yeah it's good. Very good. Only downside is there's only one within a pack - which makes it even less value for money.

I wonder how they're gonna get around the curved glass issue if it ever comes out though.
