too bad mine is made by samsung for phone & battery made in vietnam (if i didn't rmb wrong). not so syiok but consider ok. syiok sendiri due to didn't noticed any CHINA-pek that's all..

blow blow blow ur phone
faster down the drain
cryin cryin cryin cryin
phone is but a tool

sing along to the tune of row row row ur boat

In some case, Yes, actually ship to different country, u might get different quality (electronic board for example...), with the same product code, since the price is different.

Hi, guys mine is first batch pebble blue! Buy it on 15th June. So far no problem. My phone is rooted but no custom rom. Just now use triangle away and no problem. Using S3 original, car charger (RM10), and Galaxy young charger. No problem so far. From today on I will depleted my battery to 0% and then charge it overnight and repeat it for days and report to you guys if something happen.

PS: If this put to any value. Mine was made by korea made by samsung. HAHA make any difference?

c'mon the price still charged the same & it cost RM2199 nett from official retail samsung outlet for so called 1st batch. the camera h/w also different. same goes to the mobo so wat can i said all depend our fate & daily usage. look like majority 1st batch mobo fragile r the user that root the phone i'm right?

* no need row the boat but eating more eggs while blowing this rhyme

good that you can contribute some effort to understand the issue.

what is your current rom version? jelly bean 4.1.1 on DLJ1?
try to charge with samsung ori charger.

do nandroid backup regularly and export a copy to computer

in case if you lucky/unlucky to get your board fried, you can get replacement board and be worry free for future. unlike me, i own first batch but not dare to fry the phone until i get myself nexus 4. once i my new phone next year, i will try to fry it.

Added on December 10, 2012, 2:57 pmno, root or stock totally irrelevant to the motherboard issue. cases were reported from phones running stock, or custom rom, or aosp rom, stock kernel or 3rd party kernel with under clock, under volt, over clock. so this is totally random but at least can narrow down to first batch.

Hi there, mine is 4.1.1 DLJ1. Hahaha yeah agreed with the last statement. I have a question though, Will my warranty be over once i claimed it?

This post has been edited by afiqq13: Dec 10 2012, 03:10 PM

no, warranty will remain. when they change the board, they will re-flash the board with your IMEI and Serial number, so next time when you walk in to service center, they will search your IMEI for warranty status.

yea compare to HOX, s3 got lesser problem

read 1st post also thanks

no originality to humpty dumpty

my dear poster

u were the first one who compared other made in where made in where
now u are the one who said dun care
just make up ur mind to b on 1 camp only
dun run between both camps

out of topic
but somethin to ponder
samsung galaxy s3 has sold more than how many million sets already
now only about 10% or less has this problem

part 2

the problem is how many others out there who got problem but dont know to report to forum. just count here, for the last few weeks almost every 1 or 2 days there will be victim reporting in. quite serious. only samsung has the statistic of this problem.

for product with "batch" problem, problem board maybe only hit the early batch, so the next batch or after may not be worried because new board, so when the phone keep selling, it will make the failure rate to show smaller and insignificant.

for new owner almost can be worry free, but first batch user still need to keep finger crossed.

i'm here no need run either side also. stand still here. i still care bout made in which country. c'mon u guys keep insisted made in where got no different so i let them know there is ntg 2 wrong. doesn't the shit u hoping for to tell the novice? i'm just amateur not like u so hall of fame lah..

Rule of thumb

Out of 100 maybe 8-13 set might got defect so it will 13% so, sales already hit millions, just do own calculation

Even if it 1% of total worldwide sales (around 300K).. Samsung surely will issue some sort of statement about it. Like I said..I believe all this is totally random... can happen to any phone no matter made from where or which batch. (Maybe earlier batch might have higher chances to go kaput based on some unofficial observations)
But again..nothing official whatsoever so we might as well stop any speculation.
Just my two bronze cents

for now
i still count this motherboard failure as not high
why do i still say not high
it is still considered small amount
cuz i hav frens workin at samsung
for now
they tell me the amount is still considered small
due to the waitin list for the mobo
it was not in their work to keep so much mobo at their disposal
considerin mobo death is not as frequent as other problems

since when im known as hall of fame
as to runnin to either side
at one point u support the care made in where camp
at one point u support the dun care made in where camp

at one point u made such a big fuss over the camera firmware

its just a phone

You are right bro, there is no official statement from Samsung regards to this issue, what I meant in my statement is the The General Rule of Thumb for every electronics devices that are produced/manufactured (no matter what devices are). Therefore, there are some device out there in rest of the world of which is not reported or the end user do not want to highlight ... Normally I don't speculate because this is electronics device, we never know when the devices give give way (dead)...
