    had the same problem,, i wrote samsung manila and they came to my house..check the phone.. issued a receipt and they brought to phone and they apologized ... after three days a delivery van came to my house and they gave me a package ..i opened it and it was a brand new.. Samsung S3 with all the amenities and attachments..plus an extra battery.. you can do the same too.. if you are not satisfied, complain!!.. you will get your moneys worth.

        I purchased it about 1.5 years back, Once I put some other local charger and the board burnt off. I replaced it for 5,500/- at samsung service centre. Now the battery wont come more than an hour. Nokia phones are best as per my experience.Samsung spares are costlier then their phones.

          I bought this phone in Dec, 2011. After 6 months it started problem of hang, discharge of battery within one hour, Photos not saving and many more.

          Last year November I shown this in Samsung service center and they changed its mother board (free of cost under warranty). Now again its showing same problem...it touch screen is perfectly ok. Now I am feeling better to try Nokia

              I wont recommend this phone to anybody. Two years back i purchased it for 20500/-. Now its touch screen and home key are malfunctioning. Touch screen replacement is the only solution and it costs Rs.6000/- at samsung service Centres.

                    No one should buy this phone. The screen touch and scroll is slow. It hangs and crashes a lot. You can't even play temple run properly because it runs slow. Buy a better model.

                      I refer to some posts on bootlooping problem faced by some. There's nothing wrong with the phone hardware. It is due to the software getting corrupted. I had this issue with my Galaxy SL i9003. It used to happen mostly during night, a couple of hours after it has been asleep, that when I wake up, I'd find it in a bootloop with the battery almost drained to the hilt. Nothing would fix it - factory reset from the menu, hard reset with the 3 button combo, nothing. Spending a fortune on replacing motherboard was out of question. I had given up hope and was planning to buy another phone and use this galaxy as a paperweight, when a friend of mine suggested flashing the firmware afresh. I downloaded the firmware (GB 2.3.6) from sammobile.com and flashed it using odin 1.85. Its been almost 2 months now and my galaxy is working so smoothly ever since. Now I'm extremely careful in choosing apps from play store - only time tested and those from reputed vendors are installed on the phone, unlike before when I used to test all kinds of apps from the play store. Beware, buggy apps can brick your phone's software beyond the level of what a factory reset can rescue. Some anti-theft apps say their anti-theft feature is hard-reset proof, which means an app can make changes to a phone beyond a factory reset level (perhaps the NAND memory). So as a corollary, its possible that a buggy app can brick your phone's software beyond a factory reset level. Hence if you have a bootlooping phone; try a fresh firmware flash, it could salvage your phone. And be careful with the apps you choose from play store. Good Luck.

                            Amazing phone! I have this phone for 3 years and its still as good as a new phone. I was reading the reviews and i fully disagree. I am not experiencing any problem with this phone for the past 3 years! I will recommend this to every one and I would say this is a phone everyone must have!

                                  Very nice & stable phone. I am using it for over 2 years now on Gingerbread. Recently thinking of getting a new dual-sim phone just because I don't like to carry 2 phones.

                                    Worst phone I have ever used in my life.

                                    * Switches off, restarts once or twice a day
                                    * Had to replace board even after 6 months.
                                    * Software is slow. Apps Force stops and crashes frequently.
                                    * Some times when we makes a call nothing happens. But, after sometime, say half an hour call goes silently!!!!


                                    Its a complaint phone. I dont argue every phone in this series has the same issue. But, after reading reviews here, I can see, there are many phones in this series having issues like this. So its not better to go for galaxy sl.
