...Speaking of charging forgot to unplug my S3 after charging

Laziness. I can switch bluetooth/wifi, set sound profiles, etc. on with just a tap. Also prevents me from forgetting to turn off my WiFi and draining my battery when I leave my apartment.

Wouldn't you need to mount the tag somewhere you always touch before you enter/leave your home?

Yea, that's the idea. I always pat myself down before I leave my place for my phone, wallet and keys, so I just tap the tag while doing that.

I have couple tags sitting around still.

Best one I have installed is behind my light switch, so I would turn off Wi-fi and turn on auto brightness when i leave my room.

They're neat but I always forget to use them

Is it normal for your phone to say that it's "roaming" when you lose connection? There are some lecture halls at SFU that have no reception, and my phone goes into roaming which does not make sense.

Normal.

Just make sure to not text when that happens.

If you don't want that to happen change it so that your phone is WCDMA only.

Having an issue when I receive media through txt msg, whether it's picture or video.
Instead of seeing the picture or video there, it would just say "A Media has been removed" not even Google search for this specific term gives me any results
and the weird part about it is, when my friend who also has an S3 sends me pictures, they go through just fine. But when my cousins who all have iPhones do the same, it will give me that error.

Also the home click button does not work, it's supposed to take you back to the home screen at all times right ? it actually has absolutely no function at all, it literally does nothing.

I tried updating it, it's on 4.1.1, and when I click software update it says "Access to the software update service, is provided to users in the order in which they request it, Try later


Don't know if it makes a difference or not but this is a T-Mobile S3 that I got on sale from the Wind store

I bought this black flip case but didn't realize that the back case actually replaces the battery cover until I received it so now it looks weird lol. If anyone wants it, its yours.

Charging problem getting worse.

I have the phone plugged in using the OEM charger and cable. When Its plugged and I'm using the phone, it wouldn't charge at all. Basically staying at the same % for over an hour. (I use my phone constantly to reply to text, twitter, email when its plugged in for charging).

edit: not a software issue for sure. restored it twice, still has the issue. Either one of the follow. Battery, charging port, cable or power brick.

Narrowed it down to charging port/Battery. Sending it to repair center.

charging port that has gone to shits in under a year = -1 Samsung

such bad luck with electronics. every single one of my electronics I buy ends up being send back for repair

If that's the case, I don't think it's bad luck as much as poor ownership.
