true. personally, I would rather use a RM10 pasar malam SP.
It's just that i realised majority of the cheap SP that i've tried for the S3 has rainbow effects and is not crystal clear.
It makes the HD AMOLED screen look like some cheap screen

I'm only gonna stop using SP's entirely if the Curved Crystal fails me somehow

Anyone using this case?

Thinking of buying the red colour one.

How is it? Is it good? Bulky? starting to wear out already?

Looks exquisite haha.
I never liked slot-in pouches though. I personally find it impractical to take it in and out constantly


Would you recommend me to buy it?
or should i go with some other brand like this one

Rock Leather Flip Case

I personally really like the light blue colour on the rock case (look like plastic)
But at the same time, the materials used on the nillkin case looks more premium (looks like faux leather / real leather)

Caught in a dilemma

Is it made of plastic?

I don't use any task managers or RAM freeing apps ever since i bought my phone.
Running on everything stock.
Sometimes just long-press home button and clear the list of apps in multitask.
Still lightning fast and never encounter any hiccups before

Mine too. It's normal. The way samsung manages their RAM allocation is weird, but at the same time efficient.
My RAM usually hovers around the 600MB mark with no apps on, but i can still play dead trigger or asphalt 7 without any lags.
I've read a quote from somewhere saying that 'extra RAM is wasted RAM' or something, which i believe is quite true

I thought i was the only one who felt that way..
I feel that the camera improved under low light conditions somehow

I've only encountered this once. It was the 2nd day after buying my phone, my battery was stuck at 8% for a reaaally long time. I was using wifi and browsing play store.
Suddenly drop to 1% from 8% haha.
I don't get that error anymore though

could it be the weather widget settings? last time my battery drain problem was caused by the weather widget update interval set to 1hour. Even with data off, the widget will still try to fetch data therefore = battery drain.
after changing to manual update, battery life improve significantly

guys, how do i reinstall CWM? mine disappeared somehow a few days ago.
yes, i'm rooted
any help?

you mean need to reroot?

where do i download the cwm.zip from?
i'm not experienced with these stuff

So does that mean if we flash stock android ROM like cyanogenmod or supernexus, it will speed up / improve the S3's performance and RAM usage by milestones compared to stock samsung touchwiz?

this is quite true.
i quite often won't receive message even though the sender has already sent it.

Before changing to the S3, i was using an old nokia dumbphone.
It received messages (SMS) perfectly well and on-time like you should normally receive messages.
The only times that i don't receive messages is when there is no reception, but even if that happens, i will receive the message a few minutes later when reception is back again.

But when i changed to the S3, i had to cut my microSIM. I took it to a phone shop to cut it for me.
They used a microSIM cutter to cut, and somehow a tiny bit of the golden part of the SIM card came off.
The guy at the shop said it is normal and should not affect anything. I believed him since he said that it happens to many people's microSIM too.

But after a few days of using my phone, I realised that at times I don't receive messages even though the sender has sent it.
I'm stuck in my room most of the day, the reception in my room is always excellent with full bars.
Let's say i'm texting my girlfriend since we text all day.

Sometimes, I don't receive and messages for 30mins, and suddenly i will receive a message from her saying that I did not reply her.
But the truth is, I already replied her 30minutes ago and i did not receive and messages from her within that 30mins.
It's as if somehow the message has disappeared somewhere in the maxis servers or something.
And i will never ever receive that 'missing' message. NEVER. Not even after a few hours like how it usually happens to me on my old nokia phone.
(I'm pretty sure she's not trolling me )

Not only this happens very often, it happens almost everyday even if my signal strength is always good.

I have a friend who uses an S3 too, instead of self-cutting his SIM to a microSIM, he took it to maxis and maxis made a brand new microSIM for him for RM20.
So far, he has never faced any problems similar to mine.

Another friend of mine who his dad owns a phone shop (he's quite experienced with phone stuff). His dad's phone shop provides microSIM cutting service. I have asked him about my problems before and he said that the truth is, if the golden part of the SIM is cut off even a tiny bit, it WILL affect the overall performance and something will screw up.
It's different from person to person, but he says that some people face dropped calls, some mobile internet will be sluggish, and some even facing the same problem as i do.

Conclusion, it's either my phone is a defect unit, or more likely the self-cut microSIM really messed things up

So.. Yeah...

you are bloody annoying.
Wanna know why people think that you are a 1st time android user?
Because you sound and behave like one. Constantly complaining about android and S3.

Look, if you don't like it here, then get the hell out of the android community. No one needs people like you here.
If you can't accept android for the way it is, then get yourself an iphone shut up.
All you do is pollute the thread with your hate and complaints.
