i'll probably only be able to flash it by tonight.

is it a non-wipe flash that can be done via odin?

for those who are upgrading to malaysian JB from poland/UK firmware, have to wipe? or can just directly flash using odin?

on malaysian JB?

i was running poland JB too.
just downloaded the malaysian JB firmware from sammobile, flashing now via odin

update:
successfully flashed and i also have re-rooted my device already.
Coming from poland JB, i feel that the malaysian JB is a tad bit more smooth in terms of scrolling around the homescreen.

of course, i'm not noticing much difference since i came from poland JB to malaysian JB, which practically isn't much different

RRP for galaxy S3 right now is RM1999.
i recommend you search around the garage sales section of lowyat forum.

search for sellers like satu gadget dot com and alieamin. trusted and super cheap original sellers.

if i'm not mistaken, i seen someone mention before that the phone can be bought for around rm17xx or less from them

it will remain on whatever OS version you are currently on

yeah

now that android 4.2 is out, i'm waiting for release on xda of it to flash

The reason why in JB, screen is the highest battery % user is because that is how it's supposed to be..

Last time on ICS, the highest was cell standby. that was caused by a bug that's now fixed on JB

anyway, benchmark scores on JB are lower compared to ICS.
in my opinion, i believe it's because more CPU/GPU is needed to run project butter in the background. thus, leading to lower benchmark capabilities

guys, if i want to unroot my device
(following this guide on the 1st page http://www.jayceooi.com/2012/06/14/how-to-...laxy-s3-video/)

do i really HAVE to wipe all data?

or can i just use triangle away, then flash stock firmware on odin so that root will be gone?
(i don't want to lose my personal data and apps)

i never modified my ROM. i've been using stock android, but i'm rooted.
device status still shows modified after using triangleaway

will device status become normal again if i flash firmware using odin without doing a wipe?

for those have experience dealing with warranty claim, does samsung actually care about whether you're rooted or not when you claim warranty?

i'm trying to claim warranty for the tiny crack on my silver part of the phone.

i went to samsung SC near federal highway, the guy told me that i cannot claim warranty because it has been 3 months after i bought the phone.. i just said okay and left..

after going back home, i was wondering to myself.. the crack wasn't made by me, so it isn't a user-fault damage.
and after googling, articles say it's a widespread problem.

and also, if after 3 months also cannot claim warranty for manufacturing defect, then what the hell is the 1 year warranty for?

Lowyat too far for me. I'm living in PJ

it's a manufacturing defect and it's not our fault.
it's as if we purchased faulty items.
multi billion dollar company and they can't even layan us
If cannot claim, then what for they give 1 year warranty? like that don't give any warranty even better

uninstall

so it was 3month old?

did he say can't claim warranty at first?
then did you get angry at the guy or did you talk nicely?

that day i go, the guy denied me warranty claim because he say 'it has been too long since you bought your phone 3 months ago'

what theme?

of course la the theme won't change.
you're using a samsung galaxy S3. not a google nexus

even fake S3 running ICS la
