Glad I sold my s3 and switched to Xperia.

Just stay away from Samsung. Poor build quality, poor software imo.

sorry i don't care if the source came or not i'm really enjoying TW based ROM's , but it will be good for Dev's if it will come some day

LOL sony has worst build quality than Samsung BTW , hahahaha poor software

sorry but Sony has poorest , crappiest software ever + slow updates + crappy camera , crappy DAC, poor screen .... etc

BTW 2 years old GS2 got 4.1.2 update before any of the new Sony devices ( T -TX -V) with a lot of GS3 goodies

edit : sorry for OT

Thought this may be worth posting up here:

I am in the UK and recently, my S3 had been freezing a lot, needing a soft reset, even when on the ELLA firmware. I sent it back to Samsung and I got it back today, exactly 13 days after I sent it. They diagnosed a faulty mainboard and replaced it. I checked with the EMMC app and I now have a SANE chip under EMMC.. I even stated on the letter to Samsung that the freezes were intermittent. Now to get on with my life

No, it was running stock ELLA, unrooted.

That doesn't really help us, but thanks for sharing.

Agreed. This is my last Samsung phone. Will never buy any other Samsung phone irrespective of its features. :/

4. Let it die and send it to Samsung

The flash counter only goes up if you flash an unofficial ROM (at least, if you're on the old bootloader).

Don't do that. If your phone keep the access to download mode after die it will lose the product name and system status will change to custom. Unfortunately Samsung is not serious and will keep its strategy to say that sudden death only happens in rooted devices in all the countries they can. If you tell about countries where they are fixing they will say only can assist phones from your country. So even if your phone was never been root it will be your fault.
That is not about lack of information of service center or customer service. I think they planned.. Lose customers is more interesting that admit they did something wrong and didn't provide a recall and with their horrible 4.1.2 fix maybe they just tried to make your phone survive until the one year (most countries) warranty is over.
Also the orientation to fix 4.1.2 freezes (at least here) for service centers is reflash firmware, so get ready to go many times to service center.
Than the only solution will be if someone discover how to make it completely die (if you decide the risk light a candle and pray for completelly death) or wait for a better firmware fix (up to there try the dummy files solution over and over).
Sorry if Samsung fans disagree. In my country that is the truth. They have the screen to say you "rooted" you have nothing official to support you. Probably if you tell about XDA they will say is a community knew for people looking for customize their devices by their own risk.
All that doesn't mean I think you should not try the battle, I didn't give up yet. Now I am trying to report to newspapers and magazines.
Not succeed on facebook or they ignored or sent a link to contact customer service, after so many complains I got blocked to post in their page...considering to fix here is the same price than buy a nexus 4 in the US, I decided to ask a friend to buy one for me (I will really miss my extra 64gb and LG is also no reliable) and keep the battle.

Class Action

Samsung will continue its method of denying clients affected with SDS with BS claims as we've seen on this thread, until a Class Action suit is launched against them. This will probably be the only way to get them to formally launch a recall program.

As we've seen, for a private customer to claim against a conglomerate is mostly a futile exercise, and depends mostly on the
"Good Will" of your local agent.

If only there were a way to fully kill a half SDS phone then it would be a lot easier to claim warranty if their was no cosmetic or water damage...
