@csunit37 Haven't noticed any problems as of now. That page says the glitch occurs especially when using with the mobile lying down flat on a table. Will try that and update here.

Therz an offer for GS3 in my friendz company for 24k........ He works for Lupin Pharma.. seems samsung has some tie up with them[DOUBLEPOST=1369425797][/DOUBLEPOST]Xperia SP beats S3 hansa down.. it has a faster processor which puts most quad core to shame..... also has adreno 320 which is more dan adequate for gaming..... can play real racing 3 etc without any lag......

@csunit37 I haven't been able to replicate the glitch that you have described. No issues here.
