QUOTE(riziger @ Feb 14 2013, 10:13 PM) No worries, cheers for that. They've decided to just bring the phone to the service centre anyways and see what they say. If the phone still unregistered the ewarranty..better ask your family member to bring the buy receipt along as a proof of purchase.

QUOTE(rezarazu @ Feb 14 2013, 11:11 PM) sifus/ gurus,need help!! today my wife's s3 can't switch on at all!!! tried to use other s3 battery oso same.. reseat d battery, cabut simcard, oso no response.. i asked my wife, she said, d phone suddenly switch off by itself after she uninstall go locker apps.. why ar?? fyi, dis phone has been rooted by her office mate 3-4 month ago.. so far as i know, after rooted, d phone works perfectly without any problem complained by my wife.. aduiii.. what to do ar?? need to bring to sc for repair?? can claim waranty?? or sc will charge?? pliz advice.. tq.. Put the battery back into the phone. Without power the phone on..press the three button combo (power, home and volume down) for download mode. See if you can go into this downlosd mode or recovery mode (volume up) If cannot go into either one mode then you need to send the phone to service centre. Doesn't matter if the phone rooted or not. Service centre will revive back the phone for you.

QUOTE(wrigleyz @ Feb 15 2013, 09:44 AM) Thanks to the otais. Successfully root my s3 on firmware 4.1.2  So, what's next?  Install Titanium backup app and start backup all your apps and data. If you already have custom recovery (CWM)..do a full backup for your phone (Nandroid) Install KTool app and backup your phone efs/imei. This post has been edited by waveweaver: Feb 15 2013, 09:50 AM

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ Feb 16 2013, 10:27 PM) why buy black, red better mar suit CNY, ONG AR btw please compare it with note 2, no need compare with s3, sure lose 1 camera maybe win @@ Red and white..glossy finish. Have enough of glossy with S3. Wanna try something different..that's why take black coz it's matt rubberize finish  Performance on par with Note2. Beat the hell out of S3 in every department except maybe battery. But no worry..the S4 will unseat this Butterrrfly...lolz Below the Quadrant and CF-bench and Antutu. All on original stock rom.

QUOTE(XeactorZ @ Feb 17 2013, 12:37 AM) what ??? no NFC ??? LTE is acceptable but no NFC, totally don't know what to say how about wi-fi direct ? sometimes I found wi-fi direct is much better than NFC, can send more files than NFC and take lesser time to enable and send  Yup..no NFC. Soooo yesteryears...lolz Wifi Direct and Hotspot both got. Best thing is when the back cover full of smudge..i go and wash the phone..haha. But cannot submerged like Xperia Z. Maybe later when Sony release next month..sell the Butterfly and buy the Xperia Z
