It works awesome it only takes 3-6secs to locate me and its more accurate than before and even if my gps is off, it can axcurately locate me using wifi only, works offline too, before it takes forever to locate my location when offline.

But my navigation dont work it says navigation is not yet available

You need to have the modded google maps to make your navigation work. I got it from omega files. It's a cwm flashable zip so I don't know how you can install it knowing that you are using stock.

Guys whats our csc here in the phil thnx.

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 AM ----------

To those who flashed customs roms or official roms that made your csc unknown, you can try to flash the csc of singapore or thailand in this threadhttp://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26530885&postcount=10.. then use csc changer or the code *#272*imei# and choose xte. I am still downloadin the package. Will let you know if im successful. Thanks

Update: ok so i have tried the steps that I posted and unfortunately my csc is still unknown but i was able to flashed successfully. I tried the app csc changer and it managed to detect that i am on the csc of singapore. So i tried to change it using the app to xte which is one of the csc in the phil. So it rebooted and wiped my phone but when i check *#1234# it is still unknown but the csc changer app detected my csc as xte.
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Ditto but I also experience this on pc so I guess this problem comes from xda itself. A bit inconvenient indeed. Thanks for the feedback.

Default kernel from omega is fine but custom kernel with fix would be better.

[Galaxy S III General] randolph2000:
i want to know if i can install this one even though my s3 is carrier locked
[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Of course you can, it is better to use unbranded ones than those carrier locked firmwares. The latter installs additional bloatwares to your phone which is not good.

Sudden Death

just want to share regarding sudden death issues with SGSIII

i was using my s3 before going to work, as a usual routine, before getting in my car, placed my phone inside my pocket. my travel time to work is just less than 10 mins. Arrived at work, parked my car, got out, pulled out my s3 then it wont open! confused with what happened because i left home with approximately 90% battery. so i sat down and tried it again, pushed the power button still blank screen. i smoked, pulled out the battery and re-inserted then power on... still blank. started to worry thinking maybe it the battery, so i asked my friend if i can borrow his battery as we have the same phone, still blank scree. he tried my battery on his phone and it powered up. so it was my phone. next day i went to samsung touch (service center) in SM North Edsa. told them what was wrong, they took the phone and after 2 days when i went back to get it, it was fixed. they told me that the board (maybe motherboard or whatever) was replaced and asked them why they replaced it and what possibly is the reason my phone just died... even the rep was not sure they just told me that maybe i downloaded a corrupt file or maybe it was my sd card had a virus, frankly they dont even know what happened. i had my s3 for 6 months that time, stock rom (haven't even rooted), and they even tried formatting just the OS but they said that the board needed to be replaced. just want to share this as even samsung does not know what happened and how to avoid it. i also have 6 friends who has SGSIII thankfully theirs is fine till now. i hope this does not happen to anyone else anymore.

[Galaxy S III General] EtienneBordeaux:
Already saw the said update, it is LLC just like the spain firmware.

On your question, based on my experience you may have bootloops or you may not if you just flash it over with the same base which is 4.1.2. I never get bootloops though if it is just an upgrade like 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. Make a backup thru TBU just to be safe.

My SDS phone just got fixed from Samsung Touch Megamall yesterday. As expected it was a PBA (motherboard) replacement fix. So far the phone is working very smoothly and the new OTA 4.1.2 update makes it much better.

Note:

For those interested: Upon EMMC checking the phone's new board, it showed as VTU00M 0xf7 dated 12/2012. Hopefully this would exclude me from experiencing the same problem again.

[Galaxy S III General] cleve07:
PDA refers to the build version of the software/firmware

CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider.

Hope to hear from you guys soon.
