Wonder how much for s3 sudden death repair? Mine just died and it's out of warranty. Will it die again after repair? Has samsung fully rectify this issue or just never bother?

buy new phone only la.

for tight budget, buy old flagship
32gb S3, or nexus 4,

if budget allow, but
s4, note3, htc one etc

Buying into another s3 is just absurd. I dont want to suprised by sudden death again. S3 is pretty good, but got disappointed by its death.

Yes, otherwise, i wouldn't be asking how much right? sad.gif

Did ask about the repair from repairman outside without sending the phone yet,
1. Just the chip, RM 350
2. mobo, RM 500.

Anyone can do it cheaper?

After repair, will this sudden death issue comes back again?

You just asked a million dollar question that none of us could answer you.

1. Anyway, when your warrantly ended? if less than a month why don't you go to samsung to bang table for a luck? icon_rolleyes.gif telling them why selling you a cheap product that only last just nice for warranty period.... vmad.gif  tongue.gif
I remember someone posted an article saying china extended a year for SDS mobile, but that is china lah..

2. Come back to your question SDS was common for few months back but after samsung firmware updated hardly heard SDS, what is your last ROM? 4.0.4 or 4.1.2 or custom (which version)?

3. Just to double confirm, how do you know is SDS? Have you tried to change battery with friend to test it out?

1.Warranty ended 4 months +.
2.Forgot which samsung firmware was it running. What was the last update regarding? Was it 4.1.2? It's not custom rom.
3.It started by restarting itself, once or twice. Phone drain battery faster than normal. (without additional app added). Then off itself and can't be switched on. Can only be switched on by removing the battery and putting it back again. After 2 times, it went dead totally. Highly suspect it's the sudden death issue i think.

Quite frustrating actually. Still weighing the pro n con to repair. No time to send yet.
