I think that means it's completely dead unfortunately.
Flipping heck, another one!? 
Who's next? Maybe mrk, as he has had his since it came out
There most definitely is! A lot of people on XDA are saying it is something to do with the motherboard.
They will never publicly announce anything about these "random deaths" though.

Don't quote me on it but if it's dead it's dead so how would they know
Someone who has had one die might be able to shed more light though!

They'd read the coroner’s report.
Yeah I got mine on launch day as well.
Damn that's another one...this isn't looking good and there's more being report over at the "sudden death thread" over at XDA.
Samsung really need to get a grip on this and come out and make a statement.
I'm checking mine at regular intervals and it's getting fairly nervy...none of us need this

In order for Samsung to make a statement about it, this issue needs to be posted on all the main news site like android central, gsmarena etc. only then will Samsung make an announcement about it, like what happened with the HTC one X and S etc.
It's not, but I think it was provided as a flashable zip
I'm using the 1.4 beta which weighs in at 245mb. I think once it's out of beta it'll be bundled with aroma and everything will be optional.

On samsung roms, has anyone figured out how to replace the gallery app completely?
Disabling/Freezing Gallery doesn't let me choose an alternative picture viewer when clicking on the thumbnail in Camera.
Just want to use Quickpic for everything.

Find your nearest service centre and get the S3 booked in.
They'll change the motherboard but you'll probably have to wait a couple of weeks to get it back

When I flashed sotmax it installed over 200 items. With Wanam it installed 170. Stuff like Yahoo and flipboard to name a few. It's down to personal preference at the end of the day.
I'm not 100% sure on this but I would guess that everything is stored on the motherboard and if you can't turn it on neither can they, so they can't check to see if it's rooted. When they change the motherboard all the evidence will be gone.
Somebody may be able to correct me on this but that's what I'm hoping if mine goes down.

Just got my S3 back from cpw after it died !!
Got a refurb ! Might just sell it and get a note 2

That's a shame
Did CPW tell you what was wrong with the phone and what they repaired?

They just ordered me a refurb and kept my one, they didn't say what was wrong with it !
Feels so good to be back on the s3 after using the iphone 5 for 3weeks !!!

Strange, you'd think that whatever was wrong with your one they would just replace the parts unless it was totally screwed up.
Most cases the motherboard has been replaced so I don't know why CPW went with the refurb route.
No offence but you did well spending 3 weeks with the iphone5, I wouldn't even last 10 mins with any iphone
If you're looking to get the Note 2, check it out in a shop and ask if you can put the phone in your pocket because it's a monster!
