Hi there!
I had a lil' problem with my screen, and looking for a while i've seen so far that one can manage to change the screen. I'd like to know if any of you tried so far, and also know of any provider that could be trusted (want the screen anew, ofc).
Thank you
One thing i can answer is yes you can change it on your. A friend of mine changed it himself.

If you searched you would of found this already. As for provider it depends where in the world you are.
If you have steady hand, I recommend you to do it yourself.

Difficult question
This question must be a difficult one because no one is answering...

Did you install in Device? That might be the solution to your problem....
Does anyone experience this sort of numbers (Time without a signal). My phone was in one place idling and I don't expect that the signal would be this worse if it was!
My firmware is in signature and country, network provider are by the side if required.
Umm wth never seen that before...

Mm... That's interesting. Looks like I'm the only one with this type of problem!
I got couple of replacement from the service centre and all of them looks the same like this. I even changed the SIM Card for that matter, but nothing changed!
Anyone can help?

I got the same problem. It started about two weeks ago. I have been doings some research and it is not just an issue on the x10. a lot of android phones have the same issue.
Based on what I been able to find on forums it is an app that is causing the battery to drain. It does not allow the phone to go to sleep.
It is very hard to find the app that is causing it unless you know when the problem started and what you installed right before it started.
I hope that helps.

+1 to my theory.
I'm on of those who curious if my Ace got stolen/missing and wanna prevent anyone from flashing via ODIN/download mode. CWM would be a different story for me.
Is there anyway to secure it with an authentication module/additional pre-boot img? 10 key PIN would be wonderful enough to have. I guess it has something to do with creating our own bootloader?

I think you will find that if you get your operator to block the Imei the phone will not usuable what so ever.

Jekle ace that's a really cool idea,,, but india the operators never take actions in case of a stolen phone, they only take action if you are VIP or something, there are hell lot of procedures like filing police complaint filling up loads of forms etc...
i think third party apps like "where's my Droid", or any other good Antivirus cum security system app could come handy in these situations

Never knew that sorry. Yeah where's my Droid is a feasible option but you will need to have GPS and data on as later versions of android aren't allowed to switch on hardware functions

Hi, thanks for all the replies. I'll quote this one.
Really unusable? I didn't know that You mean black listing the IMEI?
Is it unusable after being flashed via Odin and then being inserted a new SIM from another operator? Sorry for a lot of questions.

Just see how hard out is to change/repair the imei in these forums. Imei blocking is the best way to permanently block the phone from working within the country.
In the UK IPhones which have been reported lost or stolen often get sipped overseas, particularly to the USA where they will usually
work.

Picked up my Japanese S3 today and looking to root it. I'm reading that using the I9300 is no go since it is a completely different model number. Specs for anyone interested:
Baseband:
SC06DOMLF5
Kernel:
[email protected]
Build:
IMM76D.SC06DOMALF5
If I can provide anything else let me know.
i would like to know the same...wtfusernameistaken is your nfc working...or is the app ic tag reader/writer the same thing?...or is it something i have to turn on through docomo?

The Japanese version doesn't have NFC, only Japan's long-established equivalent.
Anyway, I love the phone, but I can't wait until some of the geniuses on here come up with an easy way to root it.

Negative. Just tried to scan my edy but no joy. My nexus S grabs it fine however. Cannot wait to dump this stupid docomo rom and get a vanilla one on. That or just go back to my Nexus S.
またSC-06DはNFCを搭載していないので、「Android Beam」を拡張したデータ転送機能「S Beam」も利用できない. Yep, no NFC.
SamMobile has a rom out for SC-06D. As soon as the DL finishes gonna give it a go since I tried the I9300 and it just black screens.
i seen that but i was pretty sure that was just the stock rom...which is really helpful if a bad rom is loaded and need to go back to stock...ive downloaded it too and keeping it to the side for emergencies....
The ability to root and throw CyanogenMod 9 on docomo's Galaxy S3 are the two most important factors in whether or not I will buy it in the next couple of months. Can you please keep us updated on your progress, wtfusernameistaken?
Hi all
Just registered to join in on this thread.
This is my first smartphone and was all excited for the s3,
only to be unpleasantly surprised by the docomo palette ui...
I knowledge my noob status, so please be gentle with me.

My honest opinion is that the phone sucks. No NFC, annoying uninstallable apps, battery gets quite warm, camera is meh, Kies is basically iTunes with a different layout. I went back to my nexus S and passed the S3 off to the wife. Tried to get a galaxy nexus but it would seem that it did so bad in Japan that they liquidated their entire stock 3 months ago. Guess I'll just have to wait for the next dev phone.
The rom on sammobile is in fact the stock rom, but good to have in case.
Your first sentence had me dying. Lol I guess that sums it up, though. I guess I'll start preparing to buy a One X, though I think I'm going to attempt to get the AT&T version and have it unlocked, as it seems that model is more liked than the international version. I don't even play Words with Friends, so Tegra 3, Schmegra 3 for all I care.
In my opinion this is a beast of a phone...nfc not there..it maybe just no unlocked..the screen is great..the 2gb is a major factor...the fact it'll be one if few phones to receive the jelly bean update..even the little tv tuner which I'm sure the statewide doesn't have..the massive support for it...the camera is great, even though some might choose a third party app...people are judging the phone after a few days of use...the real beauty and love affair comes after extended use...having all this potential and being a root and or custom Rom away from unleashing it is mouth watering...already my s3 out performs my s2 in every way...and it can only get better...every day I find or notice something about this phone that makes it more and more awesome...give it a chance and don't be so basis guys...

Hey just got my phone today from Docomo. Let me know when you find a root for it. I just added apex launcher , but need to get rid of all the Docomo crap
A lot of the DoCoMo apps can be uninstalled

You need to install busybox seperately, but it works!

If you lack Japanese skills I would be hesitant to root. Some of the warnings that come up will not be in english. Not to mention that all the development on the root was done by Japanese and the "documentation" will be as well.
This is my first Android device (and my first post )
I found the amount of Samsung and Docomo apps really ridiculous.
I want to get CM9 onto the device, so I can have a completely clean slate with no remnants of all the shovelware. As I'm new, I don't know how yet, but I've found several guides and videos and such for doing it for other devices, even the other versions of the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately I haven't found too much specifically for the Docomo Japan version, so I'm a little hesitant to try anything just yet. Is there anything that makes the Docomo device different from other Galaxy S3's, anything I should look out for?
One thing to note for anyone else who bought it here in Japan at Docomo, by default they automatically sign you up for a ton of their crap, iChannel, BodyMo, etc., and each one costs monthly. They're very easy to forget about. If you go digging through the "my docomo" site, through the customer support stuff, eventually you'll find the options to cancel each of the stuff they signed you up for. They really do make it hard to get to.
Hi,
I have an SHW-M440S version of the S3, which I picked up in Seoul last year, while I'm actually based in Europe, where they sell the GT-I9300 version of the S3. The screen got shattered a bit, and the official Samsung service is giving me a hard time replacing the screen, saying the SHW-M440S is 'different', and they have 'logistical issues' sourcing a screen for my phone. These are statements I don't actually believe to be true, as if if the screens are different, they are made in the same factory. I simply think they just don't bother to look it up.
I tried to dig into service manuals & parts list, but couldn't dig up a service manual for the SHW-M440S online. I wonder, would anyone know if the screen component is _really_ different in these two models, or they are just BS-ing?
thanks,
Akos
They are same bro

that's what I thought. but how I can I prove this to them, so as to rub this under their nose, and point out that they are simply lying?
I dont really sure about the way to prove...maybe contact a samsung service with that question and show the answer to the service you wanna use.. however you can tell them that you did it in the past or something like that

LCd SHW M440S
Hi Akos,
Recently I had the same issue. I was trying to fix my SHW M440S by ordering online a new LCD (I am in italy so there is only the I9300 available) but the shop told me that when they asked samsung they said it was not possible. they also specified the lcd would work but the problem is when u try to connect the rear part of the phone, which apparently differs in the two cases.
Any news from you about that?
thanks
Same issue here as well
Dear Akos
Are you sure the lcd components are same? Is what "timetowakeup" saying true? please respond..
