Is there a limit or maximum for binary counter on sgs3? I'm at binary count 2 already...
Yes! After 27 flashes your phone will spontaneously combust. I've seen it happen, it's a horrible sight!

Hah. I wouldn't bet on 99. I'd bet on 65536 first, then on 4 billion.

I just picked up my third evo3d because of this exact thing. If they threaten to send it in threaten to return it and they will give you a new one. Its that simple.
So, yes. you can get another one.
I took my first one back for really bad light leakage I get this one back and there's a dead pixel right smack in the middle. I couldn't really see with all the light outside but I just noticed it. FML

You have the right to return it in the first 30 days. Dont take the employees crap.
Seriously. You have the right to take it back as much as you want till you get a good one as long as you do it in the first 30 days. Just go back and dont take no, if they say it Return the phone and go to a different store.

Ok, so I may have cheated a little. Out of curiosity, I flashed a nandroid I had made about a year prior for nostalgia purposes, and the Battery Indicator app thought it had been running on the same charge since then.

It's Battery Indicator Pro. It keeps a notification icon of the % battery left and a few stats in the notification drawer. It doesn't do much else, but it's handy.

I've seen it with my own eyes, he is running standard battery. No service on the phone. He just charged it and unplugged it. I doubt he ever even turned the screen on.

I saw you asked if it worked for i777 if its not in this section don't try to flash it to this phone. There the same phone but its not exactly the same so that's why we have ports from the i9100 from the first 5-6 pages I read they are hardly able to get things fully working and a list of broken items like wifi camera ect.

I was just gonna say, when they get into Download mode and check that flash counter, or see that yellow triangle, that replacement is gonna cost you full price.. And you can bet they'll automatically tack it on to your next bill.

You're mean
I don't know for sure, but I would imagine if it didn't flash, the counter won't trigger and he'll be OK. That's why I asked about the recovery - if it's still stock the flash probably didn't take. If it is a custom recovery, it probably means that the flash took and borked his phone...that would be the case where I would think he could expect a hefty phone bill when they catch on...
Well they would charge him for shipping the new phone checking the old phone, won't be pretty lol. This is what you get for just diving into flashing formware , I read the topic he flashed from and I knew it wasn't good for our phone yet it wasn't ported to i777 so there's no way I'd flash that.

Your phone was totally recoverable. In my view, you should have taken responsibility for your actions, and stayed with the issue till you fixed it.
It's a shame, and just plain wrong, when people abuse the warranty to get a new phone for free when the problem was due to their own actions. It's like stealing. From my time in the forum, however, it seems to be rather common behavior. I even see a post from time to time where one person advises another to do this.
At least AT&T/Samsung wind up with a phone which can be repaired and resold.
And now, since you sent them an I777 which boots to stock I9100 recovery, you will have a month or two of existential anxiety while you wait to see if they charge you full price for the phone, as written in their warranty.

Oh goodie! You messed up your phone and got AT&T to fix it by giving you a new phone, the cost of which they can easily pass on to their other users.:good:
If u screw up yer phone, and u don't want to bother with trying to get "technical" and figure it out, there is a good chance this cycle will repeat itself. I would suggest taking a few days and just pouring over all information available here on how to do things and getting things properly understood before u go about flashing again.
