It doesnt make a different how big is your charger . If your phone detects it as USB charging , regardless of how fast your charger capacity is , it's still limit to to 475 only . Unless u root it and have custom kernel like Siyah installed , u cant alter the charging capacity of your phone .

comparison for phones that is still in the works is so stupid

Seriously , some Tech sites are really desperate for more viewers , hoping to get popular . They can even try to compare something which is not confirmed

crap... my phone is dead.. woke up with my phone still plugged into the charger and its stuck on the "samsung galaxy i9300" screen... samsung center at federal highway closed at 1.. and the pyramid one even worse.. got 15 staff but no technician.. idiots ask me come after 7pm and 2morrow no service also.. so screwed!
*
Be your own tech then . Try to clear cache from recovery and try reboot . Worst case , flash stock rom via odin . Sometimes , u never know some apps corrupted your roms and giving u bootloop . If all fails , well , since u wasted your time trying this and that , it should be Monday pretty fast icon_rolleyes.gif

Still working, but Samsung did something this time! It is well talk at XDA, all phone return from service center once root will appear a red dot (I think it is this ! symbol) on top left corner when you on the phone.


Added on December 15, 2012, 6:56 pmSame happen as mine, this is well known and a lot 1st badge user face such issue, it seems the S3 will dead after pass around 160 - 190 days on usage!

The red dot is there already for later batches . Only the earlier 1 dont have it until they send it to service . Got a few frens having the red dot after rooting and they got their phones quite recently

Hi, i am facing few problems using SIII like sudden cut off the line while talking on the phone, when using wifi it hardly to get incoming calls and as a result will receive notification of missed call through msg, sometimes very hard to make call (it will end the call after u make the call).
Do you guys facing these kind of problem? please help.

SME or AP ? Try doing a factory reset , dont install anything and use the phone for a day or 2 . If still a problem , send it back for warranty ..

guys, which one is better, Otterbox Commuter (RM139) or Defender (RM189)? I can't see the difference except the Defender comes with extra screen protector.
*
Neither ...... Let me tell me my experience from using both . Commuter fits in very nicely . But then removing the phone is a troublesome . Because it fit in so perfect , u have to use force to force both the power and volume rubber button out from the plastic case . Sometimes , it feels like the phone is gonna break into 2 . Defender , rubber on the outside . Mine is glacier white . After using for a few weeks , the rubber shrunk at the edges . There is gap between the rubber (outer layer) and the plastic ( inner layer ) . Already claimed mine once and now , the 2nd unit also faces the same problem . Seems the heat generated from the phone shrunk the rubber .

anyone with dual boot and share me what roms you used? and how about the battery life?

another thing is when i use 2nd rom, will the messaging apps still work? such as line and whatsapp still will received?
*
All apps are not shared , u have your own individual apps for each rom . If u have whatsapp , u have to have on both roms unless they updated a new version for shared apps which i dunno as I stop using it . Sticking with 1 is easier .... Bat life is the same as u only run 1 rom at a time .

Give Foxhound + Perseus a try , gave me the best battery for my usage so far

Nope , it cant . But i find it more battery friendly than siyah unless u want a lot of sound mods . Siyah got the most mods for sound quality it seems

Guys, may I knw whats ur all purpose to having dual rom? I really hv no idea why should get 2roms. Hehe!

Just for fun? Or have any specific purpose? Mind share?
*
Just for fun .... Was running AOSP before but it doesn't have the full function of TW based . A dual boot helps as I just boot another ROM and use it . For example , camera mode

It's not possible to reflash or restore man. I've tried every possible way. I've been using Android for years and have been rooting and flashing and doing all sorts of things and none of it works now. Maybe I am missing something, so here's the situation.

1. The phone cannot boot into recovery
2. ODIN fails saying no PIT file available
3. When PIT file is provided, it says partition failed

There are many other things I tried but basically I think the key ones are up there. Any other things I'm missing out?
*
is yours is SME set , try to flash back stock msian rom . If it's AP and u know which country it's from , flash back the same ROM . If i remember , if mobo failure , cant even boot into download mode . Not 2 sure , best ask some forumers here if they can boot into download mode when they have mobo failure

It also can comes when new firmwares release later on.
That's why i put a link to old bootloader..just in case new firmwares (exp..4.1.2) have new bootloader in it.
All we need to do is flash the old bootloader in PDA via PC Odin only. It cannot be done via MobileOdin sad.gif

Ya , I need it now . LoL

Unless I'm missing out something, I cannot flash the phone, there's no form of control to even try flashing the phone  cry.gif That's why I'm stuck sad.gif Thanks for your suggestion though I really appreciate it.

ODIN can detect, but cannot push anything down to the phone. It always gives an error PIT file not available. When a PIT file is provided, it says partition failed.
*
I faced this problem before 3 times , once on Vibrant , once on SGS and recently , Note . Nothing flashed from odin goes in , always fail . No recovery , flashing with PIT files is worst . The only way to restore it is to flash the correct firmware that come with the phone . For SGS and Note , its easy , not much of a hassle . Vibrant , took me 3 days to find the correct firmware as wasnt aware for the samsung rom site back then . Dont ask me why cuz that was what a developer advised me to do then .
For your case , I dunno is it mobo problem or just a corrupted firmware . As mentioned , best to ask those who faces mobo problem if they have the same problem b4 sending it to service center .

im on stock 4.1.2
usin pc odin to flash it
then root it
no red dot

I think it comes with the phone . Newer batch already got the latest bootloader with the patch , not the older batch . SME maybe kaypo go update bootloader sometimes for those who send for warranty and sometimes when they r lazy , didn't . Mostly , Samsung only update their bootloader when they jump version like ICS to JB

PS : UGPM by the way ... Tx bro smile.gif
