ok, that color is fugly like shit..

some how this is normal. in some rom i flash it only can get 9k at clean stage, but after using few days suddenly i can score 12k, i also dont know why

yes, if you can flash custom rom made for i9300 means your phone is really i9300 samsung..

my experience, you cant simply ship in any electronic device, they will hold your item and request you to come forward to clear tax. then your friend/family will need to go there and prove this and that to tell them you are not buying from oversea bla bla bla.

just my 2 cent, you guys can try to ship and maybe there is luck out there.

stock rom even in jelly bean still feeling a bit slow. i flashed to CM10 4.1.2, 1 second can pop up contact dy.

if you sure all apps were closed, then very likely is a usb related problem:
a lot of user encountered issue of l2_hsic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656705

temporary solution is to shutdown phone - pull battery - reinsert battery - start phone

and if you charge your phone, always screen on the phone, go to your home screen, and unplug your USB. This could help to prevent the l2_hsic wakelock problem

with 2.5hour screen on time and not sure what is your daily usage, whether 3g or 2g mode, how many apps running, how many email account pushing, and etc,
but with this stats, i can say it is fair, but it can be improved as well

read from somewhere, digi support fast dormancy

if flashing the zip file, you should use CWM
unless you are trying to flash the boot.img file, then use ODIN PDA.

there were alot of phone reported sudden death at XDA forum,
the death just happens to any phone, suspected to be flash corrupted.
i read several pages, a lot of incident happens when the users let their phones charged overnight and next thing they found their phone wont turn on.

this death also happens to both stock rom, custom rom, stock or 3rd party kernel, so it is not rom/kernel related issue, but is hardware related issue.


some in XDA saying their phones were "Made by Samsung" -- seems to be first batch..


and my phone is the first batch too, so dangerous..

that firmware XXDLJ1 is really for malaysia, and you need to flash malaysia CSC I9300OLBDLJ1 too.. check what is your current CSC

i also noticed that this sudden death happened since Jelly Bean rom released. so maybe JB really screwed the phone. hopefully forumer here can help gather some data.
check what is the rom/kernel your phone running now, what is the charger you were using during the problem happened.

now,
i reset my binary counter to 0,
no using samsung charger, i use desktop battery charger instead (i have extra battery kit, so changing battery when 1 run low)

i read from the xda thread, some saying could be the LPM (low power mode) in Jelly bean rom,
like when your phone running very low in battery and it entered LPM, if you charge that time with your phone on, the i/o might write at some sector that it shouldnt

some saying that jelly bean has a bug and cant detect the charging source correctly, that's why there were a lot of user complaining their phone has slow charging. the similiar bug seems to deliver extra voltage that break the motherboard.

but no firm root cause at the moment, all were still guessing around.

it seems that your phone motherboard faulty like other unlucky owners

can you describe more about the incident?

was your phone being charged overnight and next morning found it not turning on anymore?
was your phone running stock rom/firmware?
what was your phone purchase date?

bear in mind that increasing the charging rate will shorten the battery life span. you need to make a balance between charging speed or battery life span.

Added on December 3, 2012, 5:29 pmbro, you are 1 of the unlucky owner
check this xda thread, a lot of international owner had their phone suddenly dead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1993044

a lot of them were charging overnight and next morning phone dead, and right before the phone dead they saw LED blinking blue but screen wont turn on regardless of any button pressed. once removed battery then they couldnt turn on the phone anymore.

some of the users saying their phone act weird, slow, lag before the phone dead, did you overcome any of these symptoms?

most of the dead phone were running Jelly bean 4.1.1 or stock based custom rom (like omega wanan or ARHD), but there were also some reported running on ICS or AOSP rom, so it seems not related to rom.


a lot dead phone were actually first batch phone with the sticker stating "Made by Samsung"
do you mind to check where did your phone made from? take off the battery, check whats written on the sticker.


i am sorry for your lost..

if your phone detected the charger is AC, it will limit the current to max 1 ampere, regardless of how high the ampere rating of the charger.
but i have seen once at note 1, i use 2 ampere iPAD charger to charge it, the software will pop up a notification saying it detect high voltage and it disabled charging to protect the phone..

my s2 i9100g test with antutu 3.0.2, result got
8170

previously test with antutu 2.9.1, result was 6100 if remember correctly.

so, what is the antutu version you tested?

confirm is fake unit. go back that shop and see if they will refund. make a police report, go consumer court to sue them..
