Got a problem and this is going to sound weird:

Woke up this morning and notice a 40%++ battery drain. Checked my battery history details and it showed WIFI and GPS on even though I have switched off BOTH before sleeping.

It happened before previously for the GPS and I turned off all the location settings but this time it's already left unticked and the problem still persists.

Any help?

I also read the last page of that XDA website about CSC and BTU and compatibility etc. Can we still use that 4.3 Ireland Rom for our malaysian set?

Actually I already have 4.3 stock (the earlier samsung problematic one) so this link you gave me:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646610

is the same thing right? (Since you said bro xeactorz news is not out yet)

All I have to do is to flash that China kernel right?

Hope Im doing this right

Ok good, so I have to flash the kernel only.

I'm using Mobile Odin Pro. just transfer the china kernel into my phone and unzip it from there right?

p/s: Using new kernel no need backup stuff right?

All done! No more screen lock lag

My SIII is still having charging problem, fluctuating charging rate, usually between 400 to 600mAh, sometimes drop to 100mAh which is really bad.

Any kernels to recommend? Used China kernel and googy kernel, both didn't help.

XeactorZ Regarding my charging problem, it's been like that for some time, I don't know why but it suddenly just happened on fine day. Using different USB cables will show the same result after a while, I really think it might be my phone charging port problem.

What do you think?

The same USB cables will charge my Nexus 10 pretty fine and pretty quick, but the problem happens when I use them with my SIII

Of topic a bit: Oppo N1 is so tempting

Bezels seem ok to me (for now)

First link: Is that the latest official 4.3 already fixed bugs from Samsung?

I went to a Samsung store and asked about my charging port problem, showed them that the charging rate is fluctuating a lot (using their samsung cable) and they confirmed this. They even mentioned that S3 is known to have this issue as they have had many customers complaining about this.

*Sigh*

My warranty's over last month and I hope that it won't cost me a bomb and maybe won't take 3 working days

So much for the bad luck I've had in the past few days and today my SIII screen cracked AGAIN. Wtf!!!! It's the 2nd time my screen cracked. Gorilla glass my a$$!!!

p/s: I ain't going to get it replaced LG G2 or Nexus 5???

My screen cracked from the inside TWICE

But but... G2 has a monster 3k mAh battery

It cracked from the inside, yeah, you can see black lines on both sides, phone itself is working but the screen is non functional now

Yeah, leaning towards Nexus 5 because of the awesome software support.

Wonder how much can I sell my SIII now? Screen replacement costs around RM490 and the phone has charging port problem.

If I ever do that, how do you think I should "clean up" my phone before passing to some strangers, talking about sensitive information here and since the screen is not functional, not sure what I can do.

Wooooo I see myself there...

Sorry guys, it's time for me to move on from SIII

Nexusfied!!!

How much did you buy?

Why did you buy an old phone

Top up RM300 can get Nexus5 with top specs: Snapdragon 800, Adreno 330, 2GB Ram, 5" 1080p IPS, awesome battery life, good build quality and superb software support from Google
