I just tried to post a pic showing my sgs1 after almost 2 years of regular gaming(probably 8 hour a week). The picture wont show anything, anyway the only damage i ever did was from repeatadly swiping my thumb fast in the same direction to run on a game, but the problem was that my thumb nail wasnt cut short enough - so my fault, and you can hardly see the scratch if at all. The only other thing is you get marks that with a good clean come off.

                            AnonD-150765, 01 Oct 2013Hello Antony :) Thanks for you reply totally agree with... moreInstalling the S4 camera apk will not void your warranty
                            It installs like any other app you would install on your phone from the play store and can be uninstalled the same way. It does not remove the S3 camera app. (I’m using it now and prefer it over the original camera app)

                            As for flashing your ROM… If you stick to official ROMs, it will not send up your custom binary download counter and you can always restore the ROM that matches your device CSC-code using Firmware upgrade and initialisation from the tools menu of kies.

                            I have my SIII more than a year now. and have been trying ROMs from other regions because it feels like my provider is last to get updates. And only once my custom binary download counter ever went up to 1 and I was able to set it back to 0 using triangle Away.

                            I don’t know if any ROM or app will help you if you are now saying it is your different hardware but is not going to hurt to try seeing that you already spent the money to buy the phone.

                                Thanks for you reply
                                totally agree with you that a firmware can be changed or even upgraded if we are talking about the "same" internal parts ..Samsung involved many camera manufacturers in their S3 and that's why we have many different firmwares and that's why I can not patch my phone with anohter ROM as my friend has a different internal camera part or lens and this may make my camera stops working and for sure will avoide me warranty :)
                                Thanks for Help anyway

                                  If you say it is a firmware issue. Then why don’t you update it your self?
                                  Firmware is software and can be changed. Firmware is not hardware, you don’t have to open the phone to updated it.
                                  The first and easiest thing you could try is change your ROM to the same ROM that is on your friends phone, seeing that you think his/she camera takes better pictures.
                                  You could also try the S4 camera apk
                                  Official ROMs are available for download @ sammobile
                                  And Odin3 is that app to use to flash it.

                                    I was that close to start trusting Samsung and Never thought that Samsung will cheaat their customers like that...Unfortunately I was going to migrate from Nokia to Samsung:"""(
                                    I owned the Galaxy grand for 2 week and it had the best camera I ever had FW version "GDFE01"
                                    and based on that I bought the S3 as I thought it would be better with the HD technology.

                                    The phone is perfect but..

                                    Very disappointed that Samsung use different interal components in their S3.

                                    Simply try the below and see you are lucky with your camera or not
                                    *#34971539# to check the camera quality then Phone/CAM FW Ver Check for Cam firmware version.

                                    So far the Firmware version found are:
                                    GDFD21 best
                                    GDFE01
                                    ZDFE02 bad
                                    BHFJ02 worse
                                    GDFD06

                                    I had BHFJ02 with a very poor camera quality and I'm not able to send it to the service center as it's not defect and I even can not give it back!!

                                    My friend bought the same S3 from the same store and hee was lucky an got the GDFE01...and trust theeir is a big differnce between his Camera and my CAmera and both of the same phones are same model with 8 MB camera.

                                    NO more Samsung again :(
