Oh!...

Yalo, mine got red dot now after return from service center.
The red dot will appear once you root the phone. As Noobi3 said in latest batch, or once you send your 1st batch S3 for service (especially after SC replace the motherboard).

Thanks for the old bootloader (I know is not yours, haha).

It working perfectly with Triangle away as well.

Now my S3 no more red dot as well flash counter reset to 0.

My s3 left for charging for after 1 hour came back to charger to check email. The phone was dead. Sent to samsung SC on friday afternoon, they checking now.

Service at the SC (PJ branch) really bad. Some of them were there waiting to collect their devices for 3 hours and still not attended. They have 12 counters only 3 got customer service attendees. Very bad for a MNC like Samsung.

Suspect my mobo kaput, status of phone currently under repairing they said by Monday or Tuesday only got news.

100% stock, not even rooted 

Yalo, Samsung shall respond now, but no respond from them yet.

The faulty issue is increasing now, and happen to virgin (non root or custom ROM) phone.

I believe all 1st batch user will face this issue, it just timing only. 1st batch hardware probably had age limit within 160 to 190 days only.... !

anyone has any good nfc handsfree to recommend? lazy everytime want pair BT to use handsfree, rather i like nfc touch to pair fast

Well i think the phone is very sensitive. As the competition is on the rise to make phones slimmer, more powerful etc. Components are being made smaller and more powerful. Just a single component gives way and that's it the whole phone is not being able to turn on.

Just keeping fingers crossed tomorrow I get some news from Samsung. Already 3 days without my S3, so missing it already.

I assume 2nd batch S3 is already out here. Anyone know how to check whether it's 1st or 2nd batch?

This phone is really...  Hopeless....

Lets see. While driving, it slipped from my leg and dropped to the car mat. Probably hitting the door on the way I don't know, but the screen cracked. FINE! It wasn't gorilla glass, my own neglect for assuming it is. I just ignored the crack and continue using.

Today, out of no apparent reason, it just died. DIED! Can't boot into recovery, can't boot, flashing from ODIN gives no PIT file error, PIT file given and it shows partition failed. Lol wut?

So my phone is now bricked, by doing nothing. I'm a little tired now to search through the thread for any solution, been doing that for the past couple hours. I did notice there are some people who faced this when doing a sudden death search.

Anyway, since there's no way to unroot the phone now, I'm gonna have to go get a new phone. Great! This is a very nice phone don't get me wrong. But dropping from my lap to the CAR MAT and cracked, and so many people around the world are complaining about this sudden death that happens for no apparent reason, and CANNOT be fixed, I really hope you guys who're considering this phone, to know what I went through.

Buy with risk, this is a fragile phone, VERY fragile phone. Buy with caution.

Well, I did say maybe it did hit the door on the way down to the floor mat. My point is, it can break very easily. And if the fall had anything to do with the phone going dead all of a sudden, when there are so many cases online, then I'm really that unlucky.

Anyway man not trying to argue with you. I'll try to bring it to warranty. I don't care about the screen I just want my phone to work, and having noway to unroot this, looks like I won't even get my warranty :/
