there are a lot apps can be remove
we can't list 1 by 1 for you, there a lot

yup they are safe to "remove"
use titanium backup freeze them

enjoy a smoother phone

let see how it goes...

I don't think u can disable system apps if unrooted

let me also share this out...

for sure bro maxx will shoot me again....

sure sure...i know that. but during clean installation of custom rom... u know its quite a hassle with cwm. its easy for those who are used to it edy. but sometime u forget to clear because on cwm, to clear dalvik cache is under advance setting. format system in another setting.
on the other hand, twrp, u can do all those setting and clearing of cache,data,system easily...
not to mention flash 10 zip files by queue...
thx @XeactorZ for ur help...should have listen to u a long time ago...

ohh...didn't know that...cwm also does the same right?? prevents u from flashing wrong files...

battery was at 50% n using gps via waze, fb n opera. battery left 34% after 5 hours of continuous usage..

Finally my s3 died! Just out of sudden, it restart and stuck at S3 logo there... Can't go to recovery mode or download mode!

check with Samsung service center at Pyramid today and the staff told me is motherboard died. Quoted me RM660. (

I just wonder if motherboard died, still can on, I mean it stil stuck at S3 logo instead of total die?

Was use I9300XXUGNA7 stock + root only... Sigh...

S4 got kitkat update today. How about s3??

dude, at first I was thinking after flash to 4.3, motherboard issue is already solve, sumor I didn't simply simply flash, just using stock na7 with rooted.. who knows it still died!! kinda frustrated... just used 1 and half year only.

u wanna repair? cause the new s3 also cost around rm 1k.
u need to consider the repair cost. as its almost 60%... or u can go for an upgrade...

Same happen to my s3 last friday. Suddenly restart and then s3 logo keep blinking until the screen turned blank.
Sad thing is that didnt fully save all the files inside, e.g contacts or photos. All gone!

Maybe. Samsung Centre ppl also suspect due to motherboard problem.
Another thing is I heard that it is not encouraged to use power bank to charge phone. Wonder how true is that. Before this problem happen, I kept using power bank to charge s3 for quite some time.
