I got a S3 32 gb. It doesnt get recognised by my pc when i connect it to my USB. My pc is win 7 64 bit. Searched the net and many people are having the same issue. How to get rid of it ?
 
Does it void warranty.... ?


Downloaded the leaked 4.1.2 firmware today.... Has all the features found in Note II including the multiview mode... Really impressed with performance as it is more smoother and better than 4.1.1.... Compared it with my friends Note II and it was same performance without any lag... This ROM will release in December... If you do NOT want to wait, then go for it... You will not regret it.... Huge stride in benchmark as I was getting 210 MFLOPS in Linpack and 6500 in Quadrant (Which is closer to Optimus G/Nexus 4)..... I have attached the screenshots of all the changes/features..... WHO NEEDS NOTE II NOW??? :P GO S3............... I LOVE IT.....

Features:


PLEASE NOTE: You flash it the same way you do the official Samsung ROM through ODIN... Before you flash through ODIN, please reset and remove your root because this ROM already comes pre rooted... I did not do that and had fail in ODIN 4 times before realizing my mistake :duh: Also remember to wipe cache and Dalvik cache... Please read the instructions....

Hi,

Recently bought a S3..
Looking for Case/Cover and Scratch Guard..
Pls suggest some good ones..
It would be better if the case comes with a stand as I watch movies often while travelling..

Thanks,

Galaxy S III gets Android 4.1.2 update, lots of Note II features - GSMArena.com news
 
When can we expect a 4.1.2 Official update in India? I do not wanna use the leaked one hence asking. And can someone suggest me some good sites to buy back covers ( not the flip ones already got it ) not plain solid colors should be with graphic designs. Already on 4.1.1 JB though.
 
Looking forward to the premium suite: (Especially Camera enhancements like: Best Face and Low Light)


 
I got an USB OTG from ebay (for 98 bucks.)
Could anyone please guide me how to connect Wired Xbox controller to my S3.
USB/BTJoystick Center 6 seems to do it - but its 245 bucks. Don't want to waste much on something I might not used.
Any there any cheaper (<100) app to do the same.

btw, imy phone is not rooted.
 
Hello,

Surprised that no activity on such a popular phone, Let me try kick it alive.

Looking to buy this if I get a good deal as Christmas deal. Please let me know if u folks find any deals. If I find, I will post here.

Thanks
Sun
 
are you guys doing that via OTA as my phone is still showing "The latest updates have already been installed".Do I have to go thru the painful process of Kies which didn't work during the JB upgrade and had to revert to ODIN
