Tbat's why i still kept my S3 although i have Note2. I use my S3 for my daily phone and i find the size 4.7" will be the maximum for one hand usage. Then i bought HOX+ but though the screen size was the same..i feel the phone is wider than S3.
Trade it for Butterfly and though the screen is bigger than HOX+ or the S3..the phone width feel quite the same when holding in hand. It just stand taller than S3. Quite acceptable for daily use.
Until...One emerge with its 4.7" screen plus a monster processor. Really tempted to have one but i'll wait for S4 first to see how its specs goes.

S3 not the best bunch last year..?
It's the most selling phones of the year (2012 till now)

Look at the 2012 from the link above and you'll find that S3 selling more than 80 millions compared to second place (fruit5) selling at 50 millions.

Factory reset will erase all data but remain the firmware version.
E.g. if u r in version 4.1.2 now, after factory reset will remain 4.1.2, no more upgrade

Wipe cache partition will erase cache only without affect ur data/apps in your phone
1. shut off ur phone
2. pressing power + volume up + home button
3. choose wipe cache partition (by using volume up down key, power button to select)
4. choose restart

lol
just do back up la, thn perform factory reset

Well, you're arguing that it's the best SELLING phone which I have to agree. That's just statistically putting it.

Which if you asked me, due to it riding high on the FANTASTIC performance of the SII, many (including myself) went on to buy the SIII automatically thinking it'll completely screw up all other phones that will come out last year.

What I mean is in the performance of the phone and I feel now that after buying the S III, I think quite a number of phones out there are quite competitive to it (not necessarily ALL beating it).... and I'm just comparing it to the other androids. Not the iPhone.

Well, just what I feel

I agree with both of you, I am not so keen on too big screen. But on my mind it should at least be at 5" same as the butterfly. Big and it feels good in the hand. Once you're at 4.8", although it is only 0.1" diff.. you will feel it somehow smaller..

Ppl overclock s3 to 1.8ghz

Can i flash custom kernel and maintain stock rom?i9305 can use which kernel

Yes..you can use custom kernel with stock rom. But make sure the custom kernel meant for the LTE version.
Go search at xda under GT-I9305 development section.

Who are the "people"

Can install CWM or kernel using mobile odin?

At antutu benchmark score list

Duhh..you want to install CWM or you want to flash custom kernel..!??
Anyway..for .tar files..you can use MobileOdin
For flashable zip files you need to use CWM.
And for those two files..it must be for your LTE version and not the international GT-I9300 version. Otherwise you may bricked your phone

Now my rom is stock.if i wan flash custom rom wat is the step?need flash CWM 1st?CWM is tar files so i can use mobile odin?

Can flash CWM like this?

If the CWM comes with .tar files then yes..you can flash it via MobileOdin. Btw..where did you got that CWM files.? I believe it comes with instruction on how to flash it correctly. Just follow each steps and you'll be fine

It say use odin to flash.using pc.www.androidlegend.com/install-clockworkmod-cwm-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-lte/ - dl here.not dare to anyhow flash

Duhh..why so scared..?
From the images it seems that your MobikeOdin correctly detect the CWM .tar files into its recovery section. All you had to do is flash it then wait for reboot..that's all.
It just as important that the files was meant for LTE CWM recovery.
