May I know where got more choice for S3 cover or case?

The warranty sticker has written "Phone rooted" so definitely can't go back to CS. Better think what phone to buy.
Deciding between S4, Sony or iPhone.  Scared S4 has the same issue as S3.

I agree with you, so far my wife's S3 seems running smooth. Even some may claim that Social Media apps is a battery drainer and cause the phone to lag, frankly my wife's S3 have Viber, Skype, WeChat, Line, whatsapp and Facebook installed. On top of that she is using Go Launcher Pro as well, I tried opening all the social apps one by one and it seems running fine without any sign of lag and launcher quits(maybe because I am not using the TW Launcher?). I could agree those apps are maybe a battery drainer but I never come across any lag on the phone be it with the Social Apps, Games, entertainment apps and etc.
Never own S1 and S2 before so I can't comment much about these model but I never heard from my friends own these 2 models regarding lags problem as well.

He did say Go Launcher Pro...lolz.

Sorry to say, i use wechat. facebook. viber. whatsapp no lag on ori rom on my S3 and S3 mini... maybe ur phone kong? and its 100% smoothness!!

Read it

And i never encountered any issues he raised.

I also never talked about battery?

when i use it to charge my s3, the screen will go haywire.
touch upper part of the screen, lower part detect my touch...

its not suitable?
Help...

Too much current..?
I know our phone can use 2.1A...for 3A..I'm not sure..lolz

but o... the UK plug thr written 3A, US plug thr write 1A. somemore no normal adapter to plug in the US plug to test.

Can..2.1A normally meant for tablet but also use it for the S3.
Charge quicker than normal 1A charger but i never try those 3A charger.

Mine is 200+ days meaning I pass the critical period???? Hahaha. .! Until my D day coming currently I am not worry at all....

Based on my experience, I can say is quite safe to use 2.1A charger with the S3 but 3A I had never tested before
I always use my ipad USB enabled ( 2.1A) charger to charge all my phones , be it Samsung, Sony, HTC, iphone. Phone original charger I rarely used except to test the charging time against some other users feedback. 99% of my phones all the charger, cable always intact inside box. I have been warned is a dangerous practice using a 2.1A on phones that are by default supplied with 1A, 1.3A,1.5A chargers
But I had yet to experienced any problems

I don't believe in over charging, though it is said the circuity will auto cut off once 100% is reached.  I disconnect phone after 100% charge and I do not practiced overnight charging. I have tweaked all my phones ( Samsung, HTC, Sony)  so well that the battery drain the most will drop overnight over 7 to 9 hours rarely goes beyond 3% . I consider a 5% drop unacceptable already

so i dont think tis normal 1% per hour drop idle/standby

How can Pantech Vega beat Sony XperiaZ..?
XperiaZ..rulez..!!
Remember guys..each one of you must buy this greatest phone coz all other phone that you're usinv now not smooth a.k.a crap..!!

Ishhkk...My Butterfly is way better than XZ...bwahaha

Sorry,
3310 tapow S3, XZ in term of toughness...

Butterfly is a great smooth to me, I had try few times. It never is a bad phone and also no issue in smoothness.

I not mainly talk on Z, I point out in HTC latest Android phone also - HTC One, just you all cannot accept as I said Samsung phone not smooth include S4. Fact it.

just my curiosity
where did u buy the ottorbox case and 3000 mAh battery??
sry for disturbing 

Hahaha.! More or less I guess i knoq why our s3 SDS..

Is due to overheat from charger... new firmware stop charging after full but due to previous firmwares damage already present and any higher heat will kill the chip.... especially those spoil adapter. .

Just my 2 cent

thanks for the info...
sry im new here..
dun noe the garage sales section exist.....

I am not able to understand whay you saying. Meanung I added you in my ignore list?

less likely fry, cause S3 has a failsafe temperature, it will lock up and switch off if overly hot

the charging habit like this cant spoil the battery??

Don't know. 
If spoilt. ..buy new battery. .lolz.

I even mix the charger and its cable.
Variety make battery healthy. .bwahaha

thanks, was hoping to get some local feedback.
Currently looking for vanilla roms, and not much luck with the S3 on this.
