Yes. Either you send it to the shop you bought it from or send it to the country where it came from. Either way they will require proof of purchase. Also, Samsung phils will not service foreign units not registered under ntc. Take note this is only regarding cell phones. Other appliances they can service even if bought abroad.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

The sticker applies to other countries. What I know is that UK or European units have 2 year warranty. But you have to have it fixed in Europe. If you buy a phone in France, you can have it serviced anywhere in the EU.
[Galaxy S III General] justnoone:
One thing you can do to check if you have intl warranty or what country covers your warranty, is to check and read the warranty card, countries are written there.

[Galaxy S III General] khazkhaz:
Hey guys. How long before you got your preorders from Globe? It's been almost two weeks for me. Still waiting. Does it really take a long time?
[Galaxy S III General] marcuz07:
Hello Kababayans,

I have rooted and installed Omega ROM the very next day I got my phone (as of today Jun28, my phone is 1 week old with me). After a while, I got back to stock ROM but was disappointed with the lockscreen with no message app. I installed Omega again and I am satisfied with the performance of my phone. I even watched PBA live using the philstar website while going home from Makati to Marikina. I am now trying to install XXLFB modem and Siyah kernel as these were highly recommended by our kababayans
[Galaxy S III General] bogs218:
hello guys im having problem with omega rom.. sometimes my screen goes black?? or maybe because of my apex launcher?
[Galaxy S III General] cruzargel:
encountered that also with Apex. But the problem seems to go away after a few days.. btw, it happens in all ROM's that I've tried. The problem is with Apex
[Galaxy S III General] bogs218:

whats your latest build?

i want to know whats your latest build considering you bought your sgs3 here in pinas.i got mine in SG singtel and im using it here in pinas. ive been receiving updates from KIES but it always fails to update. i receive also an update by OTA but it failed on recovery. tried checking updates OTA and it says now no update available

my current firmware PDA:LE8/ PHONE:LE8/ CSC:LE5

latest firmware im receiving from kies is

PDA:LF6/ PHONE:LEA/ CSC:LE6

im running stock ROM just Rooted it. im sticking on stock roms as of now.
[Galaxy S III General] cruzargel:
update fails because you have a rooted device. in that case, flash manually using odin
[Galaxy S III General] jazua:
Thanks for pointing it out the root thing. but for those who's running stock firmware do you have any updates pushed to your S3?
[Galaxy S III General] marcuz07:
Anyone tried to play a 720p, 4+GB movie file in their S3? I tried to play one but there is no sound sound coming out although it is playing the video seamlessly. Tried to use other video players(Mvideo, MX player) but still getting the same result. Anybody already experienced this? Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] wicked1683:
@marcuz07

Use mx player. at the upper right there's a "Music Note" icon near H/W, tap that and choose option number 2.

And take note if you have MX player above 1.6f it wont be able to play DTS sound. Double check also if you're using DTS.

And another tip, if you will play MKV files (I tried 720P), choose S/W as your decoder. Playing smooth using my S3 :good:
[Galaxy S III General] marcuz07:
Hi wicked1683. I also tried your method and I still get the same result. I have a feeling that it is because of ROM I got right now. I am now using Omega 7.0 on Siyah kernel. I will try to change the kernel and hope it will work

before i just change my rom to omega after that did some changes..icons..etc..etc.. but now omega 7.0 released.. how can i update omega 7.0 and retain my icon and my configuration? i dont want to spend hours again fixing my things.. :(
[Galaxy S III General] bordikun:
Just do a back-up bro, using Titanium Backup. available at Google play

note: Omega is not a full wipe rom, so you can just flash the Omega without doing a factory reset
[Galaxy S III General] bogs218:
full wipe out mean restore factory settings? even i flash the new omega rom nothing will change in my themes?

[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Yeah that is normal. Even when browsing it becomes warm. The highest I reached with the s3 is 53 degrees.
[Galaxy S III General] bogs218:
OMG.. do you think it won't affect or shorten the life of our mobile?
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
No it won't. The maximum temperature is 60 degrees. Heat like this is normal for this phone. It has 4 cores after all. The Mali 400 gpu also has 4 course. So heat of this kind is normal.
[Galaxy S III General] bogs218:
Is this heat also causing the battery to drain fast?

[Galaxy S III General] putibuhok:
I don't care that much for the themes either, but the rom in itself is super. and it has a support app that lets you download and install any mod and app you would like.

about ARHD, I think they should already declare you a recognized user. ;) have a nice one.

i agree with your opinion on omega rom.. i'm sorta torn between omega, wanamlite and arhd :P

i stuck with arhd because it has amazing updates.. almost everyday, there's like some tweak and etc.

being a recognized user in arhd isn't actually what i'm after, i once applied to become an RC a month ago.. this senior mod found me "fit" for the title.. the only hindrance is that i had an infraction around 6 months ago -.- i had to wait for it to expire (November 21) so i could reapply..

anyway, have a nice day :D
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Nightly builds basically mean the cyanogen roms and improvements released every night, hence the term nightly. I used to use them on my gnex but they are not that stable. I would recommend the normal releases.

I dont think that's an original sgp if it's less than 300. Even their website quotes a higher price than that. I guess that's why you had to go through 6 units.

You can test if your product is original by going to sporiginal.com. You input your product number to verify if it's authentic.

As far as I know applewerkz is the only retailer of sgp in the Philippines. Globotel is a retailer of applewerkz.

Update via Wifi Only missing

Hi guys,

i upgraded the firmware of my galaxy s3 through odin using JB for poland. But i experienced lags specially when multitasking.

SO i downloaded the firmware for France. All are running smoothly. no lags or whatsoever. however, when i checked setting>aboutdevice>software update, it only has two options which are UPDATE and AUTO UPDATE. The option: UPDATE VIA WIFI ONLY is missing. anyone experienced this? i think I need to reglash another jb firmware.
[Galaxy S III General] kanin_rider:
That 'missing' checkbox doesnt make sense if you can actually flash other roms. And besides, that option is only used for OTA updates. Your device will still work flawlessy even if that feature is totally removed so why bother..
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Well I always use original accessories because it seems silly to me to have such an expensive phone and then scrimp on the accessories. A nice phone deserves a nice case. It's like getting a Ferrari and using cheap wax to clean/shine it. Just my opinion though.

http://www.sgporiginal.com/
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Yes, applewerkz is the sole distributor here in our country. The acase superleggera dual pro is the best case for me. You can look at its reviews here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1745761. Though I bought this directly from acase USA. As I always point out, the volume and power buttons of the sgp neo hybrid, at least for most people, suck.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
it depends on the accessory. its a case and the purpose of the case is to protect and flaunt the design. if both are met without damaging the unit, why would i get an original which does the same job but cost me way more than what i got the said protection.

whereas on the memory card i use i choose to be original for quality purposes.

so it is really a personal preference on having these items.

i wish i could let u see and feel this case. fits perfectly.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
I agree with biosong here..

Also, not everyone is showered with enough money to blow on an expensive case that has cheaper alternatives :p
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I agree. My dad bought a micro sd card from Greenhills on his own without knowing it was a fake (32gb sandisk) and it crashed 2 weeks later and wouldn't read anymore. But I seem to remember that the fake micro sd cards of my friends, 16gb or less worked just fine. Weird.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
fake cards doesnt mean they will only work for a period of time. it is simply a generic item of what is original. and the fakes does have poor quality in the manufacturing phase thus making them a random working item. mass production sacrificing quality is what i think of the fakes. less quality less cost with high risk of manufacturer defects.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Agree.

Regardless of what they say, I highly doubt an original case will protect much better than a fake one; they are all plastic and rubber.

I also don't buy cases for looks, using the car analogy, it's like using a Versace car cover on a Ferrari-wasted beauty.

Like you say biosong, I'd rather put my money on an accessory that would actually add to the phones functionality like an original battery or high quality cards ; whether I had money to burn or not.

Just my two cents.

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 AM ----------

They 'could' also be using lesser quality materials, making them a little more prone to failure.

But just like you said it doesn't automatically mean they are bad products.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Yup. In the end, it aill boils down to the preference of the user. Buying a cheap case isn't wrong but buying a more expensive case is not wrong either. Protection-wise, it would be very obvious that a bulky Otterbox case offers higher protection compared to cheap thin cases.
[Galaxy S III General] C0NAN:

[Galaxy S III General] jermitano:
CSC is the Country/Carrier Specific Code. It contains the files for customization for specific networks, so will have the APN settings, maybe custom ringtones or backgrounds, and can have programs too. Some CSC files contain a lot more than others, hence the file size differences.

Mixing different PDA/PHONE/CSC files is certainly possible, although it might be best not to stray too far on the PDA and PHONE side. The CSC isn't really very important in most cases - at worst you'll probably just have to set up the APN manually.
