The Play Store bug is very annoying. It shows there is an update for a particular app. When want to update it just doesn't update. Shows downloading and doesn't download sad.gif

I heard Maxis secretly testing their LTE network in two places. One in Damansara (don't know the exact location) and the second one only God knows where...lolz

Possible. Can only know if got a LTE capable phone. Anyway, January 2013 all telco can officially launch their LTE.

Just a few weeks away. Looks like 2013 is going to be a very good year for advancement.

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.

Oo..man..that's really bad.  shakehead.gif
It's bad enough when Mobo goes kaput because of flashing but to died on an untouch virgin phone.. doh.gif  doh.gif
Really hope Samsung acknowledge this problems and do something bout it sad.gif

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.

yes it is. i paired my jabra wave only once with my s3, whenever i want to use the handsfree, just turn on handsfree and bluetooth on the phone it will connect automatically. no hassle.

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.... !

Mine was among the very first batch phone. Lasted me more then 5 months till it went off suddenly while it was for charge. sad.gif

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.


Added on December 16, 2012, 9:47 pmUpon reading the past couple of post... It seems like you guys are just talking on this topic? Hah way to go. I think my phone died today around 4PM.
*
I dont think the drop just from your lap to the car mat, im sure something hit the screen. My phone fell from my hands and ended up straight on the screen, that also on a tarmac in an open car park. It survived with only a minor scratch. The phone was using ROCK casing which is basically bare.

Anyway, I must agree with you the phone going dead suddenly. Mine is stock non rooted phone, while it was put away for charging the phone just went dead. Just dead, cant switch on, nothing.

Very difficult, waiting for the phone to be ready no spare phone. The bloody micro sim complicates things worst as not all phones uses micro sim. This sudden death issue samsung need to rectify.
