Gonna give it a try this afternoon

Got my S3 back today (Sudden Death)! No notes or info on what was broken/repaired etc. Just that's been repaired.

Unfortunately, the bloody idiots somehow sent it back to me without the backcover! Bit precarious but can cover it with the Rock case for now.

For anyone interested, timelines like this.

28.11.2012 Assigned to Service Center to ASC
4 05.12.2012 Acknowledge(ASC)
5 05.12.2012 Engineer Assigned
6 06.12.2012 Engineer Assigned
7 07.12.2012 Engineer Assigned
8 07.12.2012 Delivery in Progress
9 10.12.2012 Back to me!

Gonna chuck this Poland 4.1.2 on it now, anything I should know?

Chris1712 · 10 Dec 2012 at 18:23

Errrrm has 4.1.2 removed burst mode on the camera or is it just me? One of the best phone features!

EniGmA1981 · 10 Dec 2012 at 19:14

No, just put it in single shot mode and hold the shutter down - lets you take upto 20 pictures

Chris1712 · 10 Dec 2012 at 19:23

Fantastic! Actually better than having to pick it in a menu.

bertles86 · 10 Dec 2012 at 20:07

Are there any roms for vanilla 4.2 on s3 out there?

matt100 · 10 Dec 2012 at 20:16

Cm10.1 is out in nightly form, cyanogenmod is basically aosp with some small tweaks

Azza · 10 Dec 2012 at 22:29

Is battery life of CM10 any good?

matt100 · 11 Dec 2012 at 08:44

I've had no problems with it. Lasts me a day which is about what I get from any smartphone.

Kainz · 11 Dec 2012 at 11:07

OMNOMNOM CM10. I am running a nightly from a few days ago. I wish I had known about the latest nightly having 4.2 so I could have dumped it on this morning.

Clairvoyant · 11 Dec 2012 at 12:44

How much are 2nd hand ones selling for. Thinking of swapping for a Note II.

Pabl0 · 11 Dec 2012 at 15:04

I want the new nexus so interested in that as well ^

Actually scratch that the sgs3 is a better phone ill just wait for the S4 hopefully will be released Q2 2013..

Intratech · 11 Dec 2012 at 16:42

I've decided to stick with the S3 and not bother with the N4. Played with one the other day and I think the S3 is the superior "package"

It is a better package, it just isn't perhaps twice as good (when you factor in the price) - but it could be, depending on your needs.

Intratech · 11 Dec 2012 at 16:59

I already have the S3 so it's a moot point... and yes, the Nexus's limited storage makes it a "no go" for me.

stoosh · 11 Dec 2012 at 17:29

For those who are interested Handtec are selling both the Marble White, Titanium Grey and Sapphire Black versions of the S3 LTE for £409.99

So much for EE's exclusive!

@kona, I'm waiting for more adjustments to be made to the PandoriaM ROM before I download it, as the dev keeps tinkering with it!

£399 (£410 LTE) vs £289 currently.

Not such a great difference then. £100~ is probably worth it for a lot of people to get the extra storage, etc.

is anyone having calls dropping ?
ive noticed his over the past 2 weeks but thought nothing of it, but now is getting more and more regular, like anything over 2 mins and it drops
