But fortunately my s3 is white so you can't really see them unless you look super close

I've had wireless issues for a while now, but i played with some router setting and it still isn't fixed. I know its because of the phone, all my devices work perfectly.
few others on XDA also have problem with this issue

I figured I'd bump with some info that might be of some use.
I recently unlocked my SGS3 with cellunlock.net (note: not cellunlockER), and with one of their many coupon codes it only came up to about 8 bucks (compared to 15 with cellunlocker). I used crackb50 lol
It took 4 days to get the code, but it worked.

Apparently JB is ready for release on August 29th Quote:
Finally, some good news for the Galaxy S III users out there. The Jelly Bean update for the flagship smartphone is almost ready and will be released alongside the Galaxy Note II at the Samsung press conference on August 29.

YES YES YES YES YES
Can't wait for Project Butter and GoogleNow!
Although will there be a lag time for mobile service providers to release this?

Probably, though lately it seems as though Rogers is quick to send it out to their users (when compared to the others and especially compared to AT&T)
I'm all for speed enhancements. Can't wait!

Not if you're keeping it stock.
If you're rooting/flashing, I suggest reading XDA thoroughly to prevent any miscues, such as losing your IMEI or tripping a so-called "flash counter".
It's a great phone- takes a bit of time to adjust from iOS, but nothing major.

Is there anyway to change how you take calls? I find that swiping the green incoming phone icon is a bit sluggish at times.

As for configuration, there really isn't anything aside from Nandroid backups if you want to keep the phone as it was prior to malfunctioning. Not sure if this is the case still, but when restoring using TiBU (assuming your gf's phone is rooted), you never restored system preferences as that could cause problems. But like I said, I'm not sure if that's still the case.

I didn't know that meant install every app that I every bought from Play |
