When the phone is up to my ear the screen doesn't turn off..Everytime I'm talking on the phone my cheek hits the mute button or it hangs up the phone.It was like this even before I rooted.It doesn't work period..Any ideas..
Under case you may have debris inbetween eye and lens? There is a speaker next to it be careful.

How is the speaker on this phone? I have the EVO 3d and the speaker on here is crappy. I get the high pitch tinning noise on pandora. I had the gs2 and it never did that and the volume is also not good on this EVO 3d.

I much prefer BT over the speaker of the phone but that is me. Its easier for me to hear. What is your question about Wifi Hotspot?

I use my phone to stream at work for about 6 people in a 20 ft radius when i turn my speaker up on my phone I get a running noise when someone singing gets to a high pitch. I was just wondering if this phone does the same?

Anybody else want to chime in?

So when I shake my phone, tap the top of it with my finger or when it vibrates in some angle, I can actually hear that something is loose (maybe the speaker). When I shake or tap the phone I can hear some sort of ticking noise and when it vibrates I can hear something vibrate with it.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Most likely the camera lens. It's common the focusing lens rattles a little. Have done so on most of my phones with cameras.

So.. anyone else?

I know the power button/volume rocker can be a little loose

I haven't received the SIII yet, but smartphone cameras will rattle. If it wasn't able to move it wouldn't be able to focus.

From experience, I'd advise to return goods as soon as a fault(s) develop. The retailer is more likely to accept the goods back, and you often have more consumer rights and an easier chance of enforcing those rights the less time has lapsed between sale and returning.
only lucky person have this. you are lucky because you can meet samsung service center. return your phone.
Mine does the same when I shake it back and forward, if I shake left to right it doesn't happen, as already been said I think is the camera lenses to be able to focus.
So I don't think you need to return your phone.

Ask Samsung ...
To those who think their S3's should rattle. Please ask Samsung if the S3 should rattle. You can do this on such things as their Facebook support pages. Update the thread with Samsung's response(s) pls.
I know the S3 can be a phone, internet browser, camera, etc, but rattle is not one of the features they have announced afaik
My S3 isn't rattling, but my power button dosen't have the click/tick sound anymore when i click on it, like the volume rocker has
Eh it should be the camera auto focus. My iphone 4s, htc one x and galaxy s3 did it when I had it. My only phone that doesn't is my bold 9900 because it doesn't have auto focus.

Doesn't explain why some S3's have it and others don't.
For perspective, mine rattles when I tap the top third of the screen in normal usage, clicking links, wifi toggles etc.
Definitely the camera, definitely annoying. Deciding if it's worth the risk to have it replaced..

I have had several people complain about how I sound during phone calls. I remember the reviews on phone the stating how great call quality is on both ends so I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing any call quality issues

Search my past post from day one of the DNA release.
Had to return my phone for a new set as it was defective due to very poor out going voice quality.
Another member here (that I read about) had the same issue.

Anyone else have issues with their phone getting super hot? Mines been up to 46°C, just from using it for about an hour. Its not rooted or anything. Completely stock.

My phone did this last week. Im rooted and running CM10 had been for like 2+ months. I made a call on the speakerphone and the phone got extremely hot then my speakerphone blew out! Ended up getting a replacement.

Is the phone not being used or are you doing anything when it gets hot. This phone for me anyway hasn't gotten nearly as warm as my nexus 4
