Samsung Galaxy S3

[ADRAM3L3CH]

I think you're paying too much.

I pay R132.09 for the following:

BB 9700 - Value R3000 (approx R25)
BB 9900 - Value R6000 (approx R45)
Galazy S3 - Value R8000 (approx R60)

Also under Specified Portable Possessions.

My basic excess is R950.

Who are you insured with? MTN quoted me R90 pm

They do insurance? Ok. Can they just do the phone? Or comprehensive stuff only?

Anyone have any juicy news about 4.2 for the S3?

Anyone have any juicy news about 4.2 for the S3?

Nope, but Omega will update with it as soon as it's available so I'm unconcerned.

I'm dying for news on this as well.

Any one got an update re JB from Vodacom??
What is taking so long

I installed the JB rom that was release for Egypt yesterday, because it uses the same multi CSC as South-Africa. I installed using Odin3_v3.04. After the installation the phone (S3) were as before the installation except it was upgraded to JB. It took me a full 2.5minutes to upgrade to JB.

Your phone will be then on the Official JB release. It even retains the Vodacom boot animation!

Steps:

1) Download: Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I9300_EGY_1_20121024094758_x193ir97by.zip (Link -> http://www.hotfile.com/dl/177388037/4d19bcf/I9300XXDLJ1_I9300OJVDLJ1_EGY.zip.html)
2) Unzip to get this file: I9300XXDLJ1_I9300OJVDLJ1_I9300XXDLID_HOME.tar.md5

Is this the official ROM?
When the JB update comes to SA, will I get the OTA update with this ROM?

No because you will already have it.

This is an Official Samsung JB. After updating the installation process automatically updated or kept my CSC at XFV for South-Africa Vodacom.

Thus the Egypt JB is compatible and is exactly the same as for South-African release, hence the multi-CSC JB.

 

[Grimspoon]

If we ever see the SA release

 

[Dalem44]

So are there any downfalls in using this?

 

[evovil]

Has anyone seen or acquired a case-mate tough for their S3?
The only place Ive seen that I can get it from is Expansys...

Or does someone have an alternate idea on a case for the S3?

I have a case-mate for my S3 which I got from a Vodacom store.

Great cover although it does add to the bulkiness of the phone.

 

[evovil]

Thanks will have a look on the weekend...

bulkiness is fine in my books...
sweaty fingers make for a tough time picking the phone up off the table
