Phone is not nearly as quick as when i first got it. Going to re-set to factory settings and see if that helps.

Have had the same problem. Mine does it intermittently when the screen is locked and i get a pop-up notification. Push buttons and nothing happens screen just stays on. Leave it for 10 seconds and it un-freezes.

I've never had a freeze. Strange.
My cell standby battery usage is crazy high. On the latest firmware.

Me neither.
Its a reporting bug. Its apparently not actually using that much battery, but it is reporting incorrectly.

I thought that was fixed in the update.
My 3G works fine when I'm in an area that has it.

No, not really. What network are you on?
I also have the latest firmware installed and my phone has been freezing since then, hopefully JB will sort out this issue.
my 3G works fine, I do however get the "emergency calls only" message every now and again

Hi all.
My wife got a new S3 on Saturday.
It has gone through a few charge cycles, but here's the problem...
It was plugged in to charge early last night and this morning at around 07:00 it still said "Charging 88%". That's impossible. My wife said it was the same story the previous day.
I have now switched off the phone, removed the battery and put back on charge.
What could be causing this? This phone is stock standard as it came out of the box. Haven't even been connected to a computer yet.

I would suggest leaving the battery out for a good 5 to 10 minutes and then run it flat by normal use and then try the charge again.
If still no joy, take it back within the 7 day window for a replacement.

can anyone direct me to a thread (i couldnt find it via search) where someone broke their S3 screen days after they got it and had it repaired somewhere. Need to find out what that princely sum will be. I'll be taking mine back to my SP to have fixed. The phone fell less than 1 metre (chest pocket to gravel) and the screen cracked majorly - but still fully functional.

That's a major repair. I think there's a post in this thread.
Shoo thats quite a fall, I don't think many touch screen smart phone would survive that. May be wrong. Good luck man!
