I have discovered a fault with the S3 - would be interested if anyone else has experienced it.
If I leave the wifi on when (just) out of range of my home network, the screen sometimes fails to respond to touch when trying to enter my unlock pin. I have to either wait it out for a few minutes for the touch controls to start responding or pull the battery. This never happens with wifi on and connected with good signal, or with wifi off.

thanks guys
on the samMobile site ive located the right firmware but it has a big ! next to it saying OTA applied to stock firmware, flash at own risk
what does this mean exactly
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9300&pcode=O2U&os=1&type=1#firmware
also the binary counter is get to one, so that had to be rest before i can install any stock fw, and from what ive read there is a brick possibility if it goes wrong....

Apologies for the noob question believe it or not after a few Android devices I am going to attempt my first ever rooting and installation of Wanamlite.
I'm going to follow the guide that has been referenced many times in this thread which should be fine.
The question I want to ask is once I install Wanamlite do I install JB domination over that along with the toggles mod?
How does it work...I want that nice blue stock theme that mrk and others are running along with the Touchwiz features such as smartstay etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers

You don't have to reset the counter to install a stock rom.
Install root and wanamlite via whichever guide your going to follow.
Once your running wanamlite reboot into recovery and flash JB domination + toggles mod from there.
ive done it anyway.
whats with the warning im seeing on the sammobile firmware page for the latest O2 FW?

I presume it means that its a stock ROM that's had an ota update applied to it and then uploaded. Should be fine.
If your worried download I9300XXBLFB and apply the ota update yourself.

After you've flashed the stock ROM when you restart the phone it may get stuck on the samsung boot up screen. Power up into recovery and wipe data and reboot, should fix it. Took me ages to find that out 
if we get 4.1 its already outdated

Seriously though, I wonder if things have been delayed to pick up this ?
Yeah I know, clutching at straws and all that...

Google would still let the Nexus family get the update before anyone else so it would make no difference.
Agreed, but if Samsung would have known it was on its way, if they elected to delay updates to base it on this rather than 4.1.1 ?
This wont change too much, so all the work they already did would be valid and it wouldn't need a huge amount of re-testing either.

lets hope so, christ i was shaking when i was resetting the counter
You don't need to reset the counter on the phone at all unless sending it back to Samsung for repair but even then people have not reset it and Samsung have been fine.
Mine is sitting on 5 or something just now and all I have done is flash stock FW updates over Kies and re-rooted them.
4.1.2 - I am hoping that Samsung have been using the PDK that Android release to OEM's as this will mean the update should be quicker than normal as the OEM's are meant to get the source code a couple of months or so in advance to help reduce fragmentation.
Has anybody had any charging issues with it ? its been great so far but the last couple of days i seem to have been having trouble charging it.. i admit its getting charged off allsorts.. apple plugs with the usb plugged in... blackberry chargers... it seemed to cope with them all but now its not charging as well. I thought maybe the connector had got full of fluff but i cleaned that out and it still doesn't seem happy...
