Hey i know its been disscussed but it is ambiguous about the reason for the rapid battery drain of 2.3.5. I was on it for a day and hot maybe 10 hours total...light use. I switched back to 2.3.4 on the galaxy s2 and battery life returned to normal. What changed from the two to suck battery so much?

Hi all,
My friend bought an Galaxy S3 3 days ago... yesterday, he got an update through the kies (4.1.2 XXELLA). When he tries NFC, it doesn't work. We are taping our phones but they aren't reacting!!!
Is this an firmware issue or hardwere issue?! how can i test the NFC chip like we test other sensors by pressing *#0*# ?!
Regards,

I use nfc all the time. Me and my mate share music etc he has galaxy s3 running lldj4 and im running ell4.. sometimes it will ask to activate sbeam.. think u need to have nfc amd sbeam both swiched on.

I've started having battery charging problems for the last few days. Phone plugged in all night and only charged to 59%, it's done this twice now. Today I changed to a different cable which I know worked with the phone before and it says charging, but it's not going very quickly, left plugged in for a few hours and managed to get up 20%
Is there an app or a way to see what my phone is charging at?
I've read about the issues with charging the S3 and they mention the different powers that it charges at and I want to check with my cables.
I'm running CM10.1
Thanks

I did search and that didn't come up (another thread did though which didn't help)
I thought I had posted in Q&A but obviously didn't
But thanks for your short but quite helpful post

My s3 doesn't keep settings after a restart and basically has never been 100% at it. Eg. Ring tones will revert to default, default application settings get forgotten. Phone has been rooted before but actually isn't right now.
Running 4.1.2
I have done a factory data reset.
Any thoughts?

Thoughts are one post in the correct forum and two return phone to vendor as faulty .

Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Really? The s3 q&a and troubleshooting forum is the wrong forum?
Since the phone has been rooted im hesitant to send it back. Its actually also had the screen replaced.
Still hopeful someone has better advice than tell me im posting in the wrong forum. This place used to be friendlier than this im sure.
Just saw the link for the lte specific forum. Will repost there.

Not if you have I9300 yes its wrong if you have I9305 really .
Btw, what forum would be a better place for me troubleshooting question?
The I9305 forum Q&A logically .
You had two bits of advice ignore them both or not .

Thanks for the advice. Already took one of them... other one; not sure how my warranty would hold up with being rooted and a screen replaced... sad face.
Considering a cyanogen or perhaps liquidsmooth rom that I've just seen a bit about.
My concern is that even a new rom doesn't wipe or refresh all the parts where things like default settings might be kept during a restart. So hoping some advice comes through in that regard perhaps.. but not in this forum.

Closing this thread as it was posted in the wrong place. The new thread is here in the I9305 Q&A section.
Okay I thought I was all smart and though I could root and flash cyanagenmod on my mums galaxy s3..... Using a toolkit.... I screwed the whole thing up and now its soft bricked/boot looping. The version is i9305. As you can imagine mums not happy..... Please can somebody explain what I can do to get it back to a functioning state assuming I know almost nothing about all this stuff. thanks

Instead of spending time here, head over to the forum specific for your phone model & carrier.
In general, most samsung phones (including your model) can go back to the stock state using odin.
Do you know how to do this?

Again, go to the forum for your phone and all the answers will be laid out for you.

You do not need 10 questions to read any existing threads, or (if needed) ask a question in a Q&A forum. Questions do not belong in Development forums which is why the 10 post rule is in place.
