Having problem with my SD ca... more@ Dee™
One thing I would recommend is to let the phone format the card before you use it.
I had to look up the problem when my friend had problems with his S3 (you probably saw the post), and it turned out to be his SD card.
If you allow the S3 to format the card it should format it in FAT32 format. You PC might format it in EXFat format, which some S3 phones don't seem to like.
By formatting it in the S3 you know that the phone will recognise it.

@Freefaller™,Anthony™,UkUser,
Having problem with my SD card causing my S3 to freeze from time to time and Camera just stop working until I set to Phone storage. Master (brand) stay away from it. I thought I got a good deal with such cheap price. I'm going for Samsung 64GB this time and I gonna need help again (Freefaller) if you don't mind :)

Guys.. I just bought this phone from a friend "used phone".. It is working very fine with me and the touch screen is working pretty well and it is too sensitive too.. But I discovered something strange.. In light black screen and when I am setting in a dark place, I can see 6 or 7 dark black spots and they are only appear to me in the light black screen no more.. is it normal or what??
Another thing, Is it normal for the touch screen and the soft keys to be sensitive like this?
Thanks in advance guys.

AnonD-13788, 24 May 2013was that 4g?@ UK user
I'm not sure, but I wouldn't have thought so for that low a price.
As far as I know, 4G is only on long term contracts, and it's expensive at the moment. Prices must fall soon though when more carriers offer 4G.
@ Anthony
How much are 4G contracts where you live?

They do unlimited data for £15 pcm on PAYG, and another PAYG sim they do was a rolling 30 day contract for £13 something with unlimited data. I'm not sure if i got that the right away around but they are both PAYG. More importantly you need to make sure that the sim card allows tethering, as even three has stopped it on some of it's plans, and you need to pay additional if its not. Well worth doing some investigation if tethering is crucial.
For instance "unlimited data plan" on three monthly does not include tethering , but "all you can eat data plan" does. I found buymobilephones.net very useful as you can scroll down all the different tariffs (for monthly contracts) to see which companies include data. PAYG may be different.

I saw an offer in the EE shop the other day for a 30 day sim.
600 minutes

£16 pound a month. It was on a sim-only contract, so you can cancel with 30 days notice. Nice!
Shame that my contract isn't up until next April; I'll definitely change to this type of contract then.

Anyway, i'm wanting to save save save when this contract ends. Although i may just end up with yet another phone since the sims with enough internet data are often the same price of a good phone as well. Personally I just wanted a phone that allows me to watch our family hd vids on tv. And of course i use the hdtv facility for other uses.

No crappy Touchwiz, Samsung apps, or all the other unwanted bloatware Samsung force upon us and which most of us never use.
Sadly, it doesn't look as though the UK will get to enjoy such a powerhouse.

not the D word :)
don’t hang me out to dry. The SIII is my first official Android phone. I’m still learning :)
I didn’t search up on the Easter eggs at all.
I just saw them before on other people phones (cheap/expensive) when I was using windows mobile. So didn’t pay too much attention to it.
I said it didn’t (SOUND) official only because I don’t associate zombies with things you would find in the neighbourhood baked good store and that seem to be the theme of Android.
but i guess i was wrong.
