***The Official Samsung Galaxy S III Thread***

[oli356]

The first S3 I had had a faulty camera so if you are confident you've checked all the settings and sillt not satisfied return it. My second S3's camera is slightly better than my OH 's 4S so don't settle for a defective until

Not even sure how the Samsung warranty works, bought the phone from someone else. It was on a contract with O2.

Try this

Press the phone cam ver check button to show if there is a firmware update, if it shows there is just press the phone to cam few write button to update it.

Mine used to be poor but after updating to the latest firmware it's perfect.

Hmm, I type *#349715# and nothing happens.. Running cyanogenmod which I guess doesn't support these codes.

Erm, maybe try a Samsung ROM and check your camera?

Indeed, CM10 camera quality is visibly worse than a Samsung rom.

Also, Korean S3's are the International ones right? Jelly Bean rolling out to them.. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/jelly-bean-update-for-samsung-galaxy-s3-in-korea-rolling-out-now/

Going to try this today, just need to try and find out how I go from Cyanogenmod back to Samsung stock one and how I can backup/restore, my settings, messages and so on.

Just flash a Samsung Rom the same way you flashed CM. Your not going to be able to restore your SMS from CM to Touchwiz. their not compatible.

Alright thanks.

E: uhh.. flashed it with a official ROM and the phone turns on, shows the O2 screen and then just gets stuck on the Samsung 'logo' as it boots..

Guys can someone give me help, I'd appreciate it massively. I've just bought a brand new s3 off gumtree, I tried it last night and although I've set the language to English it looks like it has a German firmware on it because the widgets and keyboard are different is there anyway of me flashing an official uk firmware to the phone?

That should be the right one!

Flash it through KIES or ODIN.

Any suggestions if the phone just does this and stays on the Samsung logo after flashing?

I go from one problem to another. I'm getting a signal and can ring people but my mobile data isn't working (turned on in settings). Sim is fine.
Edit: Settings needed to be added manually. Now to get on with the day!
