    Galaxy S3-I9300 stuck in roaming mode

    Well, I think maybe I found the answer. Calling T-Mobile was no help. I did find a thread floating around on the net somehwere. I cannot seem to locate it. But the bottom line (and please excuse me if I mess up some of the technical details as I am not a guru...) is that, at least the...

    Has anyone received the new updated version of Google Maps app on his/her Verizon Galaxy Note 2 yet?

    I hated this missing + and - too... haven't found how to bring them back. However, I did discover that a double tap with 1 finger, hold, and move your finger up and down the screen will zoom in or out. This is workable for me. I hate the two finger zoom. Impossible to do with 1 hand...

    FYI, got the phone back the 2nd time from Samsung repair in Germany. Looks like they replaced motherboard or chips or something. I no longer have a SDS chip in my phone. Works fine for about a week now.

    Back again with another update. Sent my completely frozen phone to Samsung service center in Germany (DAT Repair GmbH)....just got it back. Had it on about 30 minutes and it has frozen 5 times. I think it is mid number 6 right now. I am going completely ape at the moment. Two weeks without...

    Help !! Galaxy S3 Freezing every few minutes. unresponsive.

    Just a quick FYI.... Woke up this morning to the phone frozen at "Samsung" on the bootup (plays the music, little blue animation, then "Samsung"). I cannot get the phone to boot normally again. Think this thing finally bit the dust. I never received the update discussed by Tricia. Trying to...

    I am trying to be patient, but I seriously want to throw this piece of junk out the window. It is nearly unusable. Yesterday it froze with my alarm going off. That was about the end. Still waiting for OTA or Kies update of this new firmware. Don't know why I haven't gotten it. German...

    I don't think this is correct. I am in Germany, unbranded/unlocked phone that I purchased in Germany and no updates released. Hoping it will come soon though, because I am still dealing with this mess.

    Sorry, just connected the phone to Kies. Nothing. Says latest firmware is installed. Same with the OTA when I check. I am in Germany. Don't know if that matters.
