Don't worry.. reminds me the time I bought my SII when it first came out... RM2099 hard cash.

Then... suddenly price drops to RM1899 and then a sea of people holding it. Literally everyone had it...

Same with the SIII now... bought it like a few weeks ago, then POOF** now 1 fella in school having one also... another teacher ordered it. 2 more teachers looking forward to buy it.

Like buying veggie from pasar

imagine how rich students n young people are these days using a rm2k phone
I never pay more than rm500 for a phone for my children while studying as do not wish to spoil them. I don't mind paying rm5-6k for a macbook air or pro for them
.A notebook assist in studies not a phone

since i will be using maxis .... can somebody guide me how to disable the internet from the s3 from accessing via maxis, and instead connect to the internet via my linksys e4200 wireless n router that uses tmnut unifi 10mbps instead ?

any tips on how to do this ? so i can avoid that my internet usage just up my 30 ringgit prepaid monthly budget >->;

By default your phone will auto use your wireless instead of your maxis 3G
OR You can disable the 3G - just hold down power button and select network data deactivate - if you want to play safe

sorry i nub  rclxub.gif

If phone not root you can only flash roms which are in tar format. Use tool odin in pc. just select rom tar file as pda n leave rest as default. select start

most custom roms required you to flash using cwm recovery mode. you must root n have cwm installed first before you can use cwm recovery mode. roms will be in zip format n if extract you will see folders such as meta system, system, data etc etc

Read Page 1 on steps how to do these

You should at least use stock rom first to really appreciate difference with custom roms.

If you have successfully installed the chainfire cwm file, you would have rooted and supersu is installed. There is NO need to install it separately
I strongly suggest you read some more as obviously the basics you are still unaware
DO NOT jump into the fire or you will get burn. Learn to walk first before run
The stock rom out of the box is already very good. Enjoy , explore it first. read more about root, flash before you start doing it

i have my s3 for about a week already ..
charged it everyday at nite
however the last 2 days i noticed the battery level goes down faster than the initial few days
usage style/habit is about the same ...

also ... is there any other way of capturing screen besides the palm slide ?
i have a hard time getting it to do so ... my palm not flat maybe ?? hahaha
does capture work in games/browser ? mine does not seem to do so (or maybe palm problem

Hold palm upright like karate style not face down n swipe

Your rom must be extracted in tar format. Mobile odin will not see zip file
Wanna rom is in full zip flash thro cwm only

confirmed extracted in .tar file
I try click open file, system all is same =_=
even try click recovery, kernel all also same
*both my internal and external sdcard got recovery, kernel and stock rom in .tar format
*
You must use paid pro version to flash rom. Lite version can only flash kernel
If you are using pro version n cannot see file means your tar file is corrupted or you are not using original version of mobile odin pro.

Support. This is base on kernel, so if you use custom kernel that not support, then it won't support.

all kernels support fat32 formatted 64gb external sdcard but only some kernels will support default exfat format

But can I use kies to install the UK firmware? Or must I root the device to install it? My phone is currently stock so I was hoping to update using OTA but I can't seem to get it.

KIES update only local firmware. To install Uk firmware, download the rom file and flash with Odin in PC. No need root to flash it

by right it actually does.....

there are 2 views about using 2A charging, one it does not help n possibly harm phone while the other say it helps in faster charging
my experience : I always use 2A desktop charging in ALL my Android n must say charging time is NOTICEABLY,faster at least 50% n in all my years using I have yet to have damaged batteries. s3 example only 2 hours vs 3 hours on default charger
You need to use those good desktop ch argers not those cheapo types which I seriously doubt accuracy of its power output
there are sites arguing why theoretically a 2a charging will not help. Though it sounds logical but that never explain why I consistently get faster charging time
so I continue using it n happy with it

These apps will not delete mail from server. Is a standard precautionary measure as many users need download similar emails on their PC/notebook
Use alternative mail app such as K9 mail - you can set emails delete from server once downloaded. Do it with care as this means you will not be able to download the mail elsewhere , say in your PC
