Yes Perseus kernel supports init.d scripts

It has a wireless receiver that plugs to a USB port.
BTW neato4u - Good to know that it works with SIII.

Are you on stock kernel? Does the battery remaining percentage display accurately?

Are you a Maxis Home Fibre user? Some reports of this issue in the Broadband User-2-User forum...

At this time, if you still have an S3 (from 1st batch) and are itchy for an upgrade, I think no point sell or trade in. Just keep as spare phone or do a hand-me-down

Hmm, don't think you can make do by buying Galaxy Gear first, it seems that to date, only Note 3 has been announced to be supporting Galaxy Gear...

No resolution other than motherboard change, if you buy a new phone you can always request to check and find out if it is old stock. First batch is probably around Jun-Aug 2012 time, not likely you get first batch...

Very common for those colorful no brand 1m cables to be able to produce only 600mAH with 1A charger; nowadays as you said have to test or else buy branded cables...

I don't think that article is correct anymore about this "Samsung has never been a manufacturer that wants to prevent its customers from loading custom ROMs onto its devices"... they rolled out Knox enabled bootloaders in the latest S4 US firmware. Once installed, any custom ROM or etc will cause the 'speculated efuse' to trigger and from then on the Knox Warranty void (and Samsung warranty as well...)

Knox Warranty on new I9505 ROMs

Don't think this apply to SIII hardware (even when they start rolling out 4.3) but since S4 affected (quite possibly Note 3 as well)

Yes, US telcos often have locked devices due to the phone subsidy they provide with their plans, so that is understandable but this is very likely to be for all their new flagship phones.

Samsung KNOX is basically Samsung's initiative to make their devices secure to get the US DOD approval and for Enterprises BYOD requirements. FYI Blackberry and iOS 6 is already compliant.

But for them to do it to their flagship phones which us normal consumers buy is really damning for anyone who chose Samsung over HTC etc for the ability to 'restore warranty' by reflashing stock firmware.

EDIT: Looks like only choice is to get the Google Play edition of the Samsung Phones (but that is not available here...)

Yupe finally Google is making sure android phones and tablets have ability to professionally edit MS Office files for FREE (rather than 'depend' on Kingsoft Office or Polaris Office for Samsung phones)

NOTE: Faster install QuickOffice and link to Google Drive before September 26, 2013 to get the additional free 10GB.

Did you download the correct version of auto-root? Make sure it was latest version as well.
After CF Auto Root is flashed (you definitely have root but maybe SuperSU will not work), you should try to run SuperSU.

If it does not run, then you should have been able to go to Google Play and download the latest SuperSU. (Please note that SuperSU and Superuser are not the same and you cannot have both installed/running at the same time)

If SuperSU can run, then you should go to settings and go to Reinstall (Cleanup for reinstallation from Google Play) then reinstall from Google Play.

What is the point of that ?
There can only be one superuser.apk in /system/apps/ anyway

Yupe, exfat support is important for me for all these reasons as well
Alternative USB OTG (NTFS mount) is too troublesome sometimes...

Must be a charging port problem, if send to Samsung, will need motherboard replacement to fix. Too risky to DIY fix the port (search on XDA). Try again and see if can claim warranty, Many months ago, I saw a woman at the Petaling Jaya Service Center complain she has come and send phone/cable for warranty 3 times already but still not fix slow charging (must not have replaced her motherboard, maybe just factory reset and change charger/cable); if she can do it, you can too

Need to avoid getting sweat/water on the bottom of the phone... but should just try claim for warranty anyway until you get a rejection.

If you want to use other ROM, you can as long as you still stay on this modem as your EFS is now v2. See this link for the XXEMG4 modem flashable zip.

Any books you have viewed before (as in view inside) even if cost is USD0 or FREE on Google Books web site while logged in will appear as purchased.

If the apps are from Google Play originally, why worry about compatibility issue if you are restoring back to the same phone? The apps after restore should still work (and if you restore app+data, you should not have to do anything else at all...)

And if you are using Titanium Backup, you can backup and restore Android ID as well so even if apps are linked to that, you should be fine...

Edit: Only possible issue I foresee is if your new ROM is based on different Android versions like 4.1.1/4.1.2 and your backups are from 4.0.4)... but that is app compatibility problem right...?

Well... I am not planning to use any 4.3 ROM (though SlimBean seems good)
But I would think that as long as those Custom ROMs have GApps installed working and tested, you should have no problems with App+Data restore. Maybe others who have specific 4.3 ROMS can pitch in with their advice

So true... but I am more waiting for Kernel sources for Perseus kernel to be updated to be able to run 4.3 Samsung Stock (BUT if it does not ever happen, then no choice, have to choose a stable 4.3 ROM like dark_axl21)

There is NO disabling of charging mode, just disconnecting from the PC or disconnect from SIII (via the Settings)
Your cable probably is only usable for sync and not charging. Change the cable...

Yes normal; you should hope they thoroughly test for you. If they still find problems, they can change the motherboard in less than half a day.

1st batch of S3? Unlikely that CyanogenMod will cause such problems. After wipe+flash, you reinstall the apps+data using Titanium backup? Maybe just some bad apps.

Else could be the start of SDS issues, mine also was 1st batch and I could get it to freeze just by using the wifi (browser, facebook etc). It will not unfreeze (have to power off/on) If someone calls, the person will just hear the ringing tone.


You suspect power button causes your issue?
