Okay I don't think it has anything to do with heat now. I played dead trigger for 2 hours straight just now...but with a controller instead of the screen (which is incredible BTW) when I was done the screen still acted just fine... but when I tried playing again using the screen it quickly started acting up.

There must be some kind of glitch with the screen is used excessively and turning it off and on clears the cache, or buffer for it.
[Nexus 7 General] ben dover:
I was having the same issues with my n7 as well. Tried installed a CM10 kang and the issues went away! it's been a joy to use now!

here is a post from yesterday with videos of some of the issues I was having. so far, CM10 fixed it.

Must be a software issue.

I can confirm that i have video playback problem, it doesn't play smooth at all, it just stutters. I have had to resort to using soft ware mode on MX Player.
[Nexus 7 General] Grims:
That isn't what this thread is about

Proof that people post in a thread without even reading a single thing inside it, let alone the full title of the thread :thumbup:
[Nexus 7 General] dwd3885:
So is this software we think? I don't know if I want to go through replacement if it is just a software issue.
[Nexus 7 General] Grims:
Based off my above post I think so. I will test my RMA to see if it acts the same way before returning this one.
[Nexus 7 General] dwd3885:
That would be a relief. Hope its just software. I hate RMAs
[Nexus 7 General] ben dover:
If its not software, it could be a grounding issue on the panel itself. I seem to have more issues when its plugged in. But since I've loaded up CM10, I've had next to no problems!
[Nexus 7 General] jtc42:
Judging by this, even if it is hardware, it seems like software can fix it. Looking at the launch chaos, I for one am going to avoid RMA like the plague.

[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
First of all, you meant "which" because this is a witch:

I think OB is better than iphone, what do you find at that phone? The screen of iPhone is very small compared to other smartphones..
[LG Optimus Black] sksbir:
Hello

The way of rooting and customising galaxy S2 is slightly different that with LG OB, you should learn more about "odin", "triangle remover", "kies"...

Be carefull with difference between I9100 / I9100P / I9100G

But once kownledge is acquired, galaxy S2 is a nice phone that you can now find cheaper ( bought one in France for 330€ ),you will find a lot's of custom roms, and stock roms are well done too.
[LG Optimus Black] SoulExertz:
Agreed. For easy flashing, I suggest you not to get HTC as you have to unlock boot loader(A gruelling process for some people) and flashing root.zips and finally flashing roms from CWM. I suggest ANY Other brands than Hard.To.Connect

To anyone shopping around to buy a MicroSd Card...this is a really good deal. Grab it today at BestBuy! This is only good for today 07/19/12! Available instore or online. Regular retail price is $79.99.

Here's the link: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/PNY+Tec...8372338726&skuId=3026197&st=3026197&cp=1&lp=1
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ScottC:
Only BestBuy could claim a regular retail price of $80. 32GB Class 10's go for $30 on Amazon all the time.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
Wont let me ship it to my house and everyone around me is out of stock.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] belly1026:
Might as well buy Samsung 32gb MicroSD class 10 card from Amazon for $30 with free shipping and no tax (for some):

LINK

The only downside is it ships within 3 - 5 weeks (Amazon often overstates their shipping time, however). So if you need this in a hurry, this may not be the best choice for you.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
Why go with Samsung over PNY? I have use PNY before and was very happy with the card
[Galaxy S III Accessories] belly1026:
I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with the PNY card. In this case, you can save a little on tax.

Also the Samsung for $30 is an everyday price on Amazon vs. "one day only" for the PN at best buy.

And earlier today, the Samsung was listed at $27 and in was in stock. Plus, looking at this thread, I see people post positive experience with their Samsung cards. I don't see a lot of PNY (if any) on that thread.

And as you can see in my signature, I don't personally use Samsung card because I use Sandisk :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] JawjaBill:
In for 1. Will pick it up on the way home. Amazon prices available locally should be considered a deal.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bizdady:
I bought this on day 1, although it took a week to ship lol The card actually works really good. It transfers pretty fast and havent had any issues with it.

I think I paid $24 though.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] babymatteo:

Exactly what i was thinking.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gaarry:
Thanks for the info! Picked one up to upgrade my 16gb Patriot.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] behappy:
I'm definitely an online shopper... I have bought (2) 32gb cards off of Woot.com for less than $15 shipped. I don't mind waiting a few days, as the cards usually come really quickly.

Yes, It was my nephew's s3. He was blindly flashed it, now He asked me to help him, and I am asking any one in here know how to get it power up and into download mode.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RollerCoasting:
I think that flashing the wrong radio version could fry the whole thing dead permanently.

However, if you can get ADB to recognize the device you may be able to get it working. See if you can get adb to recognize the device at all, if you can there may be hope.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jordan032503:
and how do you fix it with that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Bizdady:
Sorry many that have flashed international have been hard bricked if they can't return on. Mskip has a toolkit but if it won't turn on then it's hard to flash though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NedDasty:
Does any screen come up? If it's hard bricked, just bring it to the store, and show them. They'll probably try a new battery, and if they can't boot it up, then they may replace it.

Worst case, they say they won't replace it cause you messed with it, and you're back where you started.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jordan032503:
No ..nothing come up. screen is blank
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cue_32:
Cause the USB dongle will put you straight to download mode. From there you can flash the proper ROM.

Anyway, if you can't get in to download mode, can't boot up to anything, and especially if ADB can't find your phone, then you might have just gotten yourself a very expensive paperweight.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sebmw:
The same thing happened to me a year ago, I flashed the wrong Kernel to my T-Mobile Galaxy 4G, you need a (JTAG Service). Go to this website and contact the guy he will help you get it working again, good luck.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] AxAtAx:
I did the same thing, quit wasting time, you need a Jtag service period, if you can't get into download mode, Odin and Adb IS NOT going to work. It will not see the device. Go into device manager, if you see this QHSUSB DLOAD, you are seriously bricked, only Jtag can help it. The usbjig will NOT work with this issue, I have tried.

Exchanging the phone for a new one is the easiest method. that is, of course, if you did buy the phone from a T-Mo store, and got suckered into buying the extended warranty. No questions asked, overnight shipping
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nayoung802:
This happened to me too and i sent it in to Samsung and they fixed it under warranty. And i got lucky tho cuz i didn't have the triangle away and luckily they still fixed it. Took about 2 weeks tho. U can try that route.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] willworkformods:
if you have insurance report it lost/stolen and pay deductible for brand new one
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] oscarwylde:
This has been known to work... I once 'backed over' my phone in the garage by accident and no more questions were asked. Only downside is the deductible can be quite hefty. $175 for my Note 3, but in that case I was actually robbed. I wouldn't do lost or stolen as that is hairy and technically insurance fraud and you can get caught up. Just my .o2 though

[HOWTO] UnBrick T-Mobile S III QHSUSB_DLOAD w/Video Walkthrough

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2439367

thank you...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Just got my S3, and I'm dropping calls in areas where my SE4GT didn't. The calls are either dropping, or are 'breaking up', in the words of multiple people at different phone numbers I'm calling.

The common denominator is that the Calls start off strong, and then within seconds, start to break up then drop.

Maybe the device has to be held a certain way, as with the iPhone. Just throwing that out there, as I don't know.

I'm still trying to isolate the issue.

I've read that this is happening to others, and may be a radio problem.

I just don't want to exchange device if this is a wide spread device issue, which appears to be undetermined yet.

Update:

After calling the same number from my Sprint number, and having the calls (5) fade and drop off within seconds, I called the same number from my GV #, and the call was successful. The call lasted over 1 1/2 hrs. without issue.

Imo, the above rules out an S3 issue, and the issue is with Sprint and the Network, or the Network/Switch of the person I'm calling, in regards to how their Network is handling the Call from the Sprint number.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bohiti:
For what it's worth, I haven't had any such issues with my sprint s3, signal strength in much of my town is sketchy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
Maybe certain S3's had an issue, and I need to exchange mine.

I'm uncertain at this point, as I just got the S3 on Tues.

Please see the Update in the OP.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shades333:
My gf and I have the same issue. Ive dropped more calls with this phone than the entire 6 years ive been with sprint. Its the samsung radios. Not sure about returning it and getting another unit since it happens in my gfs as well. Its frustrating, my phone also roams in my house which has always had close to a full signal on every other phone ive owned including the epic touch 4g.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kronium:
Dropping calls as well. My friend too. The radios suck on this phone, so if you're in a marginal coverage area, you'll be dropping more calls with the S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I'm dropping calls in areas I didn't have trouble with my SE4GT.

On a side more, I'm not too happy with the camera on my S3, compared to my SE4GT.

On the S3, indoor pics are not as sharp, and are grainy, and the flash washes out the pics.

I thought the dropping call issue may be either:

- Hardware related

- Sprint testing of towers preparing for LTE

- a lemon S3

Regarding the camera issues, I thought may be:

- hardware related, and issue is with all the S3's

- a lemon

Because of the uncertainty regarding the causes of the above, even after extensive searching, I've decided to exchange my S3 for another S3, since I'm within my 14 day return/exchange period.

If the above issue or issues are resolved, then I just had a 'bad' S3.

If the issues aren't resolved, then:

- I got another lemon, which would be doubtful

- or these issues are inherent to all S3's

Hopefully at least one of the issues will be resolved.

I'd rather not switch devices, as I've got my current S3 just right regarding apps, programming, etc.

But I had to try another S3.

If neither issue is resolved with the replacement S3, maybe a future update will resolve one of these issues.

I'll see how it goes with the replacement.

I'd hate to see that the S3 has issues which the SE4GT never had. That's a step backwards, and if true, I most likely made the wrong decision to exchange my S3, and should have just returned it, and reactivated my SE4GT.

Hopefully though, the exchange will make a difference.

I have:

Hardware version:

L710.14

Does anyone know what the current hardware version is, if it has been updated?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lost+found:
I had the same issue with mine, poor signal, but even with the signal reported as ridiculously low I can still place a call.

I exchanged my first phone and thought the new phone was better, the Sprint store has the cell tower in the parking lot so it's hard to tell.

The first thing the phone did when I got home was update software, so I don't know how it would have worked before but after that my signal has remained poor.

I have tried all the other modems and not seen a measurable difference from one to the next.

Also my indicated signal strength vary around wildly swinging from lows below -220 to highs of -90 at home.

Other times closer to a tower I am getting -75, but it falls of very quickly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
This dropping of calls is getting really anoying. It's happening everywhere I didn't have issues with the SE4GT. It's like I know when I make a call, that I'm gonna hear the other side say, "I can't hear you, you're fading out!"

I thought GV solved it, I thought maybe it's a fluke. But the bottomline is, I'm fading and then dropping calls.

I'm thinking it's an internal antenna issue, andd holding the phone a certain way matters ala the iPhone.

But I'm not sure what the issue is, except that it IS an issue.

Is it Sprint working on the Towers?

Is it the LTE Radio in the S3?

I'm hoping the replacement fixes this crap, But I'm not so sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] IceCreaMan:
i drop quite a few calls as well in areas that i did not previously before. I am also getting alot of failed call attempts and have to redial the number a 2nd or 3rd time to make the call go through... not sure whats up with that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tlordon:
if you are refering to making a call and it conects for a second then ends the call.

this is a known issue with sprints network and the samsung galaxy and the nexus lte line of phones

IE the S2, Nexus, LTE, and S3.

Sprint knows about this and is supposedly working on it.

(i have seen this problem with INTL GSM phones but i cant speak to there issue as its a total different radio and software)

IMPO it is an issue with the phones radios and software trying to talk to sprints network and getting booted or disconnecting.

IE its the Little seceret your not suposed to know about

(it affects Making 911 calls to)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
My SE4GT hardly had any dropped calls.

My current S3 drops them like crazy.

Multiple times daily from different areas.

I can call from the same location in my room and have multiple fading of the call, then it drops.

I then call again, and it's fine.

This is usually how it goes:

- a call is made

- after a minute or so, the called party says I'm fading.

- I move around, I hold the phone differently, and the called party says ok, I can hear you.

- a few seconds later the called party says hello multiple times, and then says I can't hear you.

- the called party just hangs up the call in disgust, or the call drops

*The interesting thing is that before the call is dropped, and the called party says I'm fading, I can still hear them fine.

Maybe this is a clue to what the issue may be.

Hopefully it's a defective device, and my replacement will fair better. I'll see in a few days.

I say this because my SE4GT worked perfectly, while others dropped calls, from what I've read.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trehouse:
S3 Coverage, Phone / Network Problems - NYC Area

Im in the NYC area and dropping calls all over the place including on the Hutchinson River Pkwy, Henry Hudson Pkwy, Merritt Pkwy, etc.

I'm now testing my replacement and so far it looks like the radio in this phone is garbage on Sprint's network compared to every other Sprint phone I've had going back 5 years. I'll be back in NYC on Monday so I'll try the replacement then but within my home my coverage has evaporated with this phone however another Sprint model is working 100% here (both phones showing 1 bar).

My guess is that this phone is going to fade away on Sprint pretty quickly with the exception of users staying within local metro areas where hand-offs are going to be more limited as they won't be able to support the troubles with it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I received my replacement S3, and still have the same issues, as I thought I probably would.

I installed the LG8 modem, as it had the LG2 modem as the last one did, so I'll see how that goes,

Looks like a stronger signal, but I'll know for sure shortly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trehouse:
Let me know if you find a fix. I'd rather stay with Sprint if possible.
