guys, need your help here sad.gif
i just bought a fake china Galaxy S3 with a price of RM1050.
damn that guy cheat on me and switch off his phone.

inside it is running on JB 4.1.1 with playstore installed.
looks like original S3, the only difference is the welcoming screen when it boot up. the rest is almost 99& same as original. even the smoothness is also same.

now i am thinking is there any good thing i can do with this phone?
*
Would you mind post the screenshot of the phone details and model number here..?
Who knows the phone might be an AP set of S3 but with some foreign telcos boot logo.

I've seen lot of conman cases in Lowyat Dispute Thread and what i know is police wont take action regardless of how much losses were reported. Thats why i dont plan to make police report anyway.

The model is Samsung S3 i9300 16GB.
I m quite suprised when i know its fake because the fludity and smoothness is almost similar like original.
I noticed it was fake is after i reset the phone to original setting and there is "welcome" logo appear instead of "samsung" logo. Before restore, it was "samsung" logo. Maybe the seller rooted the phone with custom ROM.
BUt is it possible to root china phone?

Run a Quadrant or Antutu benchmark...and read the phone system info from those test.

hmm. should i send my device to change the mobo then ? what reasons should i give to change the mobo ? my mobo ver is 1.1
over volting it can fry the mobo maybe ?  biggrin.gif
*
No bro..you cannot suka suka want to change Mobo...lolz

Actually ver 1.1 doesn't mean it will definitely gonna die. Like I said it happen even on ver 1.4.
I suspect it's the processor problem. Either the Exynos4 or the Mali itself. Try AVOID leaving your phone on overnight charging.

Just my two cents. hmm.gif

I would expect it to come around 7k-9k tops. It should show SMDK 4x12 for the CPU and probably PowerVR531 for the GPU tongue.gif

Where's that guy anyway..?
Ask him to look at the phone info also take long time..how to help like that..lolz. doh.gif

my mistake  biggrin.gif
While the phone would just automatically shut, almost everything failed to bring it back to life. A hard reset did work in some cases but those were limited
*
Ya..ya..our SDS make the phone totally bonkers...lolz
But nothing concrete...as I just speculative here. biggrin.gif

Searching possible reason on SDS..:
Mobo itself - cannot be as old and new version also kena. (Even Note2 get SDS and they use different Mobo)
Charger - cannot be as S3 and Note2 use different charger.
Kernel - cannot be as stock and custom kernel also kena.
Firmware - might be but Note2 and S3 use totally different firmware.

That leave the processor...as both Note2 and SGS3 use the same processor albeit different GHz. brows.gif

Me too..all my previous S3 I leave it on overnight charging. Yet none of the phone kena SDS. Still. .all that S3 I used ranging from 1 - 4 months only.

Btw..I'm just speculate here. Something must have been triggered for those SDS to happen. The mystery question is what...lolz

If alarm so important to you...buy a cheap alarm clock at pasar malam. Cost around RM15 only...lolz

i thought so! thank you smile.gif

agros - protection wise, can it survive a fall? maybe from 2ft
cause argos covers the front

case mate does not
*
Last time i used to have Gariz..nearly the same with Argos.
The front cover will open if you dropped the phone. And this type of casing doesn't give full side/top cover.

Guys, I just bought an SGS3 for my son. He complains that it sometimes switches itself off. Is this a common problem and is there any cure? Hardware or software? I'm still within the exchange window so I can do a 1-to-1 return if necessary.
*
Nope..the phone shouldn't power off by itself.
Is it only screen off or really power off..?

Btw..does the phone use casing..?
Some casing can be very tight and a slight touch at the power button can shutdown the phone hmm.gif

The whole phone switches off and no casing was used. OS has been upgraded to the latest 4.1.2
*
Any illegal apps installed. Some roque app can make the phone goes haywire.

Try do a factory reset and use the phone with only pre-install apps for one day. If the phone still switch off by itself...then something wrong with the phone itself. Go for service/exchange then.

Good luck.
