Guys i have a serious problem with my phone....I have rooted and unrooted gs3....now its official and not rooted.The problem which i have is that the results of antutu are really unstable and becomes warm with two tests...I have got 16000 points and now i get 11000-13000(in antutu)....To reach 15000 again i have to let the phone get cold and start again the test....But this behavior is a little bit stange so i rely on your answers guys!
Have a nice day!
Had same problem on my S3 too. Im afraid you cant do anything about it. The heating problem should be gone in less than a week. After that your S3 should be back to normal.

I used to had same problem with my s3 getting hot but then I found the solution and that's turn the a/c while using s3

I got 15000+ on mine. When your GS3 gets really hot it gets a lower score. The second time i run antutu i only got 13000. I think this problem is connected to the sudden death thing.

Well, samsung said it has something to do with their software and they have fixed it already. But the issue is still their. Lets just hope the upcoming 4.2.2 update for our GS3 will fix the issue, the update should arrive this may or june.

So you people are running stress tests on a stock rom, including a stock kernel? In that case please expect the phone to get hot, then slow down drastically when it does.
The stock kernel has conservative thermal throttling built in, nothing to do with SDS. It's behaving exactly as it should and I wouldn't advise trying to 'make it better'. Search here in Q&A for 'I killed my phone by overclocking'.
Some Gs3 units tend to heat up without even using it. Can you answer that?

Just yesterday my home button started making a clicking sound. It has been dead silent and now it clicks kinda like a mouse click (not as loud) whenever I press it. If I mash hard on it it will be silent for a few minutes, but then it start clicking again. The Wife's phone is quiet.... both bought same day. Anyone else experience this? It is annoying me as it makes the phone sound cheap, and makes me feel it is going to fail on me based on almost the same scenario with my iPhone 4 that did fail after making a random noise one day.

Same thing here. Had the phone about a month and this started. Phone is rooted, so taking it back to Verizon is out. I just ordered a white home button online. Supposedly this phone is super easy to take apart and replace parts. We'll see.

Mine isn't rooted and I have the insurance + warranty on it. I may call and see what they say. A few guys around me in my group here at work don't have this issue. I've had this phone since launch day, FWIW.

I would definitely bring it back then. I just don't want to go through the hassle of unrooting and possibly getting an ME7 phone that does not have a working recovery as of yet.

Rooting is not important to me. My phone is a work device and security reasons we can't have a rooted phone (B.S. if you ask me), so I play along nicely and do all my updates and keep it unmodified (except for developer access).

Mine was doing the same thing but it went away. If you do an exchange and your 14 days are up you will get a refurbish one. Wait and see.

I just called and ordered a replacement. I am not worried about refurbs as a lot of the times they are better than new in my experience in being in the industry for a few years. I pressed the button down and stuck the corner of a business card in and ran it around the circumference of the button with a little bit of the card going up under the case a bit. This seems to have resolved the issues.... but just in case i have an overnight-ed replacement coming tomorrow.
Never mind. It's back. Glad I ordered a replacement now.

I doubt blowing does anything... next time it starts click just push down firmly and it will quiet. Weird.

I did this as well. Really wedged the business card on all sides and got the card up under the button. Hasn't clicked for over two weeks now. Something from my pocket must have gotten under there.

Don't worry, there is a fix!! I had this same problem on my S4 and I have horrible OCD so this was not kosher. I found that the cause for the clicking is the button sticking, causing it to click when you press on it. All you need to do is get an electronics cleaning cloth, a business card, and some hand sanitizer. This will save you from having to send the phone in for repair or get a refurbished device.
Put some hand sanitizer on the cleaning cloth. Not too much, just enough to make it damp.
Put the cloth over the business card
Use the combination of the cloth and the card and using a little pressure, stick it between the button and the case and go all the way around the button.
If you didn't fix it the first time around, repeat until you are able to press the button without a click.
Note -- If you are mental, and use too much hand sanitizer you will damage your phone. You just need the cloth to be damp. I use hand sanitizer because it dries extremely fast. I am NOT responsible if you screw up your phone.
Happy cleaning
I have this as well! I thought it was because I went to the beach and got a tiny grain of sand beneath the button but I guess it happens to everyone!

Try this fix, worked for me after 2 months searching for a fix, i sent 1 month ago my S4 to Samsung Sat in Madrid (Spain), they didn't fix anything, just wiped all my data.
This fix worked like a charm!!
Youtube Search for: " [FIX] Galaxy S3/S4/Note II/Note III, Fix Sticky/Clicky "HOME" Button "
I've been having this problem for a while. Different roms and stock doesn't matter.
I'm currently using jelly beans build 21 build 18 did it so did 19 and stock did it as well.
Basically I stop receiving any and all notifications on my gn2 when I'm connected to 4g then when I either torn on wifi or hit a 3g area my phone goes absolutely crazy and I get however many were missing all at once.
It's very frustrating because I rarely use wifi at home being that I'm still unlimited and all.
My network connection works, I still get calls and text messages, just no notifications from apps
A Google and forum search turned up very little help.
Mine has begun the same behavior over the last few days, beans 21. I don't have a solution but wanted to let you know you're not alone opefully it'll resolve itself

any idea why it's doing this? it's extremely frustrating and happens almost daily... it makes little to no sense. I can't find any option that would seem to do this.
Have you checked in mobile network settings, and made sure it is set correctly?
Today, young ,men on acid realize that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciences sharing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are just imaginations of ourselves And now to the weather.....
I getting the ZTE Grand X Max + today in the mail to replace my samsung mega 6.3 phone that I cant stand cause I cant aswner phone calls. I decided to use crcket wireless cause I need to save money on my phone bill and 35 dollars a month is the best deal I found that gives me 2.5 gb of high speed data. but anyways. I not sure about the purchase. since there is no root for it so I cant have a custom experience with it.
WHAT ARE YOUR LIKES AND YOUR DISLIKES.
WHY I BOUGHT
SCREEN SIZE
PRICE
battery
why im unsure of purchase
low speaker volume
no root working as of yet.
Do you enjoy the phone as it is. or do you wish you went with a different phone
My wife has had hers for a month, I've had mine 2 weeks. The battery is awesome, mine goes through a 6 am to 10 pm day of use (a few videos, injustice/immortals gameplay, web browsing, phone, text) and still has an average of 20% by bedtime. The no root issue is a slight hindrance because the phone does not have apps to SD compatibility. The low speaker volume is only a big problem if your phone is your alarm, but for most daily tasks it is OK (I usually have Bluetooth connected anyway). Very few multitasking hiccups so far. Overall all though, for $200, I'm satisfied with the phone.

I have some issues wit some apps crashing on this phone. maps navigation crashes when trying to do a walking navagation. I believe that custom roms could fix these issues
if that much is happening a custom rom may help, but it REALY sounds like Zte/Google needs to issue a bug fix for the rom

for a 200 dollar priced phone. I don't see updates anytime soon from zte. Although they are trying to make a name for them selves here in america I just don't think its gonna happen. kinda get what you pay for. I hope I am wrong and I hope someone cracks the code to get root and custom firmware in the future. I set up my phone the way i like it. so far im happy and nothing I use that causes apps to crash alot are minimal. but I noticed apps crashing more on this device then i see on other phones in the past.
Right now I gonna say I am 75% happy 25%unhappy with the purchase
well on the z787 same phone less ram lower spec camera it didnt have the bugs so we will see
Only app I have that seems to not like my z987 is google keep, force closes every time. I use fb lite and never used fb messenger

Even if ZTE did setup an update, Cricket wouldn't push them unless they were critical. Cricket wants people to replace their phones, they don't like customers that keep the same phone for years.

No. If anything it will plug a possible root exposure.

That is why I haven't installed it. It is getting quite annoying having to to dismiss it all the time however. Does anyone know what EXACTLY is in it? I was over in the general S6E+ forums and I read something about an update fixing the wireless charging. Which, mine does not work. (It cuts off after a few minutes)
That would be great if it fixed it, but not if it blocks a possible avenue to root the phone down the line. Verizon doesn't really say what is in the update. It just says security updates. If it said security and your wireless charging might finally work, it might be more tempting.

The update that came out today is for Samsung pay to work on Verizon phones. Ive been putting off the update for the same reason that maybe a developer will find a exploit in one of these older software versions.
