Guys, I created several folders to organize my apps. Problem is sometimes, for example, I open "browsers" folder, open opera, close opera, >> then the "browsers" folder stuck on the home screen. I need to open apps menu/screen first, then press "back" to close the folder. Usually the folder will close automatically once you close the application. It happened with other folders before this as well.. Anybody facing the same problem? Just update to 4.1.2 OTA last week.

QUOTE(nokia6280 @ Apr 25 2013, 01:43 PM) siegdeclaroix this apps is to know what chips set is your device carrying but doesn't mean for sure is faulty otherwise Samsung will call back all S3 with similar chipset.  lol.. yeah, I dunno what i was thinking  whenever i saw 'sds' and its symptoms i remember this software.. still haunted by my insane chip

QUOTE(Arvinaaaaa @ Apr 26 2013, 10:39 PM) nope.its good too..the 1.100,1.200 AND 1.300 is the one that gives problem It's insane according to emmc.. Actually I was thinking, if 1.1 - 1.4 is insane, and only 1.5 is sane, it looks like 4/5 of s3 is fault-prone.. is this acceptable for a company like Samsung? Well, I know that they have patched the problem etc2 but its still puzzling...

QUOTE(Arvinaaaaa @ Apr 26 2013, 10:59 PM) oh..but so far..nobody that have 1.400 have sudden death problem in this forum..weird yes.. my phone is 4 months already, so far no problem.. QUOTE(girl83 @ Apr 26 2013, 10:55 PM) u mean they patch via firmware? This is from v28 QUOTE(LordDenning @ Apr 10 2013, 10:13 PM) and anyway. the 4.1.2 update is supposed to fix the bug. So it doesnt matter if you have the old chip. but somehow if your phone did die on you anyway, go get it replaced at the SC and you will have a brand spanking new heart for your S3.

QUOTE(girl83 @ Apr 27 2013, 02:42 PM) alright thanks so much.. but how come certain people their chip 1.4 also can got sane when eMMC check? maybe eMMc is not reliable? when u bought ur phone?.. and when u update to 4.1.2 no lag no consume battery? Or maybe not all 1.4 is sane.. Mine is already 4 months. Not sure about battery after update. But i screenshot battery usage after update.. after 100% charge, using Chrome for browsing battery down to 94 % after 26 mins, 90 % after 40 mins.. ok or not? At first feel like battery drain faster.. But after a while, get used to it and feel like normal..

QUOTE(eszol @ Apr 27 2013, 03:04 PM) if 10% decrease while browsing with 50% brightness for 40mins can be considered good Didn't remember brightness setting at the time. Usually I put 0 indoor and auto outdoor during the day. Must be less than 50% at that time.. QUOTE(salimbest83 @ Apr 27 2013, 05:30 PM) hurm no wonder la my charge rite now quite slow. before this can hit 900 is that the symptom of my USB cable is dying bcoz of S3 "charger killer disease"  Did u try to refresh? Same value?

QUOTE(-kytz- @ Apr 27 2013, 11:28 PM) Try to read the finer details in the app. IIRC you need to assign a "trusted" friend who would be able to retrieve the details of your phone if it were to be stolen/lost. When the sim card is changed, your friend will get an SMS alert on the details, even GPS coordinates afaik. You can even send a message to lock the phone or sound an "alarm" like "This phone is stolen!" to the stolen/lost phone. Google more for more info.. I'm not sure whether you can check the info of your phone ONLINE as I didn't test this feature yet  I think "trusted" friend is an option. You can also choose to access from any phone. and yes, you can also access all the features online. AVG has introduced web interface for this.
