Dear sifus,

My hp has been facing a big problem recently. It got frozen screen sometimes and the only way to solve it is to remove the battery and reboot. At first i thought i have too much stuff in it then i deleted some photos, sms, etc.

Until this 2 days it got worse and got frozen very frequent. So I checked here and found out it should be the sds problem. Is the problem fixed if i update my S3 firmware to the latest firmware?

And i found out that I haven't updated my firmware since very long time ago as i didn't tick the auto update. So to update to the latest version I will need to update many times from 1st update to the 2nd update to the 3rd update until the latest one?

I just did an update and it's currently 4.1.1,  I9300XXELJ2

And today it gone dead in almost every few minutes.   

Please help!!!   

My phone is officially DIED. Saw it restarted a few times during the day time but never do anything about it. Put into pocket and take it out, no response anymore. SDS !!!

Worst thing is my phone is about 1year and 2 months.. no more warranty and have to send it to service center and pay myself. damn sad..

Samsung

wow the greenify app is awesome.

my phone has been running for 8 hours 46 minutes since unplugged
screen on time 1 hour 25 mins
all the time mobile data on, only use 2g connection,
sync off, lots of whatsapp

now still got 73%

Problem solved!
It turns out that I was having a messed up internal storage.
Upgrade from 4.1.x to 4.2.2, the file system got changed from /data/media to /data/media/0

I was using old version of cwm (v5.5.x), which doesn't compatible with android 4.2.2
Hence everytime I flash a 4.2.2 ROM, my internal storage get mess up and mess up again.
I use "DiskUsage" then only realized that i have tons of duplicate "obb"...."android" folders 

Reference: 4.2.2 File System Structure

So I upgrade my cwm, format my /sdcard and re-flash the ROM, problem finally solved.
To my surprise, now my Gallery load normally, hahaha 

My dad just bought an s3 a while ago,how to know the phone is SME or not? How to register the warranty for the phone, i cant find any link to register warranty in samsung website... and about the warranty it will start from date of purchase right???

download greenify from play store, root required

@rickk just use cwm then flash the rom.

Just to add on, if you only install CWM and not going for Custom i don't see the reason why you need CWM....

Not much issues bro.
The new stock shud have the newer board revision.
Just install emmc brick bug from play store to check it.
If SANE CHIP. Then ure fine.

So far very happy running ProBAM rom
Updated to jb 4.3 already.

Somewhere in setting got navigation bar option.
Set the height to 0.

Strange you wana make it away. I prefer to have it. Don't like to press the home button. Haha.

i think u better go for pie control
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...iecontrol&hl=en

much better usage of screen space.
and lots of function / apps can be assign to each pie

i cant live without it

somewhere inside hybrid properties, then interface, if not mistaken
then set the nav. bar to 0%
forgot the exact step as im in TW based rom now.. haha

i use temasek. more smooth!

yup..

go to setting, system, quick setting
> quick setting style then select QS random colors to spice toggle up
>Tiles and Layout  to add and arrange ur toggle

go display
>Listview got nice effect for ur phone.. try n scroll down up ur setting to see
suggest take wave right n anticipate /overshoot

not sure mine, bcuz i gaming once i got free time.
but at night, 4am - 11am , i always full charged before i slept, normally when i woke up, it still left around 70-80%+(i think)

btw, i use "greenify" 

yeah.around that
im on 3g data.
3h 38min screen on time

not sure yet bout today.
but yeah. this 4.4.1 sure not as stable as the 4.2.2 based
battery drain abit faster than 4.2 based.

4.3 still got more bug to be clear up.

sandisk, maximum capacity is 64gb
you didn't feel the screen is smaller meh ?

now on 4.3
quite a few bug and sometime phone will reboot

So my phoned died today. Factory reset or what doesn't help. It just stuck at samsung galaxy s3 screen. What in the world is the problem?..sad..it has only been a year

Can't. My phone now showing firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again. I went over to samsung service centre this afternoon and they tried to do factory reset/software reset and they said can't. Probably the mainboard or something got roasted.

I tried connecting to kies on my laptop and run recovery mode, but it says I need the code. I don't have the code, any other way?

probam befor 4.3 is perfect

Guys, how to disable navigation bar in Probam rom?

Do you still have the link for ProBAM 4.2.2?
Mind to pm me the link?
i find it fast drain on battery for 4.4.1...

probam 4.3, battery drain fast ><
btw is there any 4.3 rom that the battery life is good?

on temasek's rom cm10.2 with temasek's kernel, i can get 1 day 3 hours on battery. screen on is 5 hours 34 minutes. the owner which is temasek got 26 hours on battery and 6 hours on screen with the 10% battery left. i think, android 4.3 is not the reason of battery drain.

stable? impossible mx player also gt issue. dolphin browser also. etc...

Nope can't
They said most probably MB problem...sad
Really? Those technicians at service centre told me that can't. Probably MB failure.
