Re: why my s3 hardware has crashed again

Welcome to Android Central! Your best bet is to contact Samsung again and explain to them the situation. I'm not sure how long the warranty lasts for a repair, but if they do agree to do something about it, they might only offer to repair it again. From what I've read of others' experiences, Samsung usually doesn't send a replacement phone.

In the meantime, see if you can boot into Recovery and wipe the cache partition: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ing-into-recovery-mode-galaxy-s2-s3-tab2.html
