My Samsung S3 just died . Edit: Nope it actually resurrected, just like Jesus, thanks to a GLP'er! :D

korean bastards :) awesome phone ;)

R.I.P. Samsung S3.

Now is the time to prove you can survive a month without that thing.

I know I can.

And it feels GREAT to be free.

my older hardware seems to be longer lasting. planned obsolescence sucks.

The phone is awesome in the sense that it does all you want it to do, but also it's made of cheap ass plastic and has faulty hardware. A perfect phone would be Apple hardware and Android software IMO.

Right now I regret having given my HTC desire in part for the payment of the S3, I could totally use it right now.....

Hey question if you have time to reply, with these Android phones do you need to have a google account to use the phone?

never owned a smart phone, last phone i owned was in 2007 never had one since.

Nah, only if you want to use gmail but otherwise you can use the phone without an account.

Glad to hear, thanks.

I also bought my Gf's on the same day , so soon I am gonna have my gf freaking out on me when her phone dies too . Ughhh....

get replacement

Im gonna get them fixed I guess, but sending it to repair is a bitch on itself.

I'm trying to fight it but I am depressed. I was reading a book on it, I always listen to music on my way to work and back home, use it to record music ideas that may arise unexpectedly, communicate with a bunch of people through messaging online. These devices truly become a part of one's life after a while

Holy crap I just realized I got some naughty pics of my GF in there,shit

I have one as well & this is the first, I've hear of this issue. Repaired? no insurance? just get it replaced, I would.

In that case send it to me

I will fix it for a discount if the pics are good enough

Phones cannot LIVE, therefore they cannot DIE. Stop the idol worship please.

all praise be to my smartphone, amen.

Hey, my phone had a very advanced virtual assistant, I called her Amy and she called me Sir.

In the morning she would wake me up, tell me the news and weather, she'd read out the morning headlines and remind of the things to do that day.

The day my phone died, I cried for Amy, I had a funeral and buried her in the backyard.

To this day I still suspect my jealous bio-wife murdered her on purpose...

my iPhone 5 pisses all over your Samsung

My gf had an iphone 4 for a while and she sold it and got the S3, never looked back. I didn't even try apple, can't stand their software. But hardware wise yeah, apple wins clearly.

Moto don't break....

I thought my S3 died too, but it just needed a little resuscitation. I couldn't turn it on, maybe yours is doing the same thing?

I pressed and held the button at the bottom and the button on the right side for about 5 seconds. Hold them both in at the same time. When I did that it buzzed back to life.

If it doesn't work...I'm not looking forward to mine dying in 4 more months!

Nah, I tried that but mine is fried for good. Thanks for suggesting though.

Thats why they suck you into the $100 insurance - replacement with current model...

Got 2 Galaxy note 10.1's yesterday... With some cases and screen protectors... Looked at the price and told them I'll drive 50km's where my 'uncle works' and get the deal for hundreds less... After 10minutes I got $400 off the discounted price. Not saying it was a win though, not sure where I stand with technology, if I like it or not... Lol

Hold on !!!!!!!!!! I actually did try it again but stayed like 20 seconds and now the screen turned on, you may have just saved my phone!"

Yeah!!!!!!!! It's working, GLP is da shit man. I promise I tried all button combos and stayed pressing for a long while and all. I don't get it but anyway I am fucking happy right now.

YAY!!!
