[Q] Sudden Death Syndrome? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

does the galaxy s3 mini has the sudden death syndrome or not?
cause i wanna buy and i wanna ensure that it won't die after who know how much time LOL
if it does so how can i ensure it is infected?
for example on the gs3 i9300 only the 16GB models had the sudden death so how can i know if the s3 mini has it or not?

Idk for sure but I had my mini for 6 months now on custom rom dmod6 no issues so far

I've had this phone since February, flashed almost every ROM available, soft bricked a couple of times and even corrupted the pit file and it still works lol. The phone is versatile.
Currently running AOKP and will flash the updated cm10.1 when I find the time.

Buying a barely used Note.

Hello everyone,
One of my friends is looking to sell his barely used Note which he bought last month for a very good price. I may get for as low as $270. I checked the phone and I loved the screen but not the plastic-y feeling.
My question is: do you guys think it's still worth buying a Note(am not willing to pay for a note 2)? My other question is that I am a Gnex user running jelly bean and I wanted to know if there are any good jb roms available for the note ?
I also heard that Samsung said it would update the note to the official 4.1.1!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
For that price, get it

How's the battery life on the note? Is there any official extended battery or any extended that doesn't make the phone bulky?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
ya you should get it as note 1 will be getting JB update's soon
Moved To Q&A​
Please post questions in the Q&A section.​
Okay thanks mod. How's the battery life? Screen time on the note? Is there multiple builds of the gsm note?

You can always bargain lower price, and update via pc odin should codes be gone. But with missing emei dont do it.
Also check download mode binary counter

If I had some different build, could I change it and flash the new 4.0.4 since the phone has 4.0.3?

you can outrightly flash stock 4.0.4 to the Gnote. You can either go flashing it via PC KIES or PC Odin. If you want custom Rom's then there's plenty around this forum as well... Just do a search on the 'Android Development' thread and check out some custom Roms that might suit to your liking.
Off topic but why do people consider the Note cheap plastic feeling? I've always had HTC before this and this phone doesn't feel cheap at all to me
probably because of the compactness. When you take battery cover off you might think cheap. I don't, It's practical so thin. So far it works great, wasn't expecting that lol

Thinking of buying a galaxy note but have a few questions

I'm getting a really good deal on a note. I wanted to know wether the features from note2 have been ported to the orignal note, specially multiscreen. Does the note have enough processing power to run it smoothly?
My friend is on stock ICS and his phone is quite laggy even without too many apps. I did hear the ICS upgrade sucked but I didn't expect this. I wanted to know wether the installing custom ROMs would make the s pen useless?
M considering either note or galaxy nexus... plz help me make this choice!
Thanks

1) Multiscreen is not yet ported from Note 2 to the original Note..
2) I have 100+ apps installed on my Note & I wouldn't say its laggy..
3) ICS upgrade wasn't a flop..it came with lot of features, improved performance, battery life etc etc etc..anyways, within a month or 2, our Notes wl taste official JB..there are already couple of ROMs which were cooked from leaked samsung official kernel & seems to work as expected..
4) Installing custom roms need not to make the S-pen useless..but there r very few custom roms which does not support s pen..
Check out this thread it got some promising stuff about new note 1 JB rom 98% of things work properly
Cheers

If you are thinking on buying the note , go for the second one .
We had no option back when we bought note , but now you can just go for note 2
248 Google play installed apps and a few more from XDA.
Still smooth on stock ICS ROM with hydracore kernel.
But like the other posters, better to just get the new note since you have yet to invest.

Galaxy note prooved to be a success. Initially it was expected to fail hut if u see it as a device released in 2011. It was designed futuristic. It got 3 updates on gingerbread , 2 updates for ics and now will get jelly beans soon and some are saying it will receive key lime pie. Even if the key lime pie update is not official the note gave a good outcome to those of us who owned it from the initial days. I am still ao much in love with my device and i love the s pen. It took out the artist from within me.

Galaxy note is more like a mini tab, note 2 more like a maxi phone as they have different aspect ratio. 16/10 vs 16/9. For multiscreen ot will be ported on Note1 also, I guess, by xda developers. Don't know if it will arrive officially by Sammy

its not important if you just use it for playing games.
For the features and specs, note is really neat if you use a custom rom.. custom roms could boost the speed..
And yes, i have a note.. but its quite laggy when i bought it

Rumour: Tab 8.9 to get Official 4.2.2

Hello,
I hope this is true that Samsung are working on bringing Android 4.2.2 to our Tablet.

R: Rumour: Tab 8.9 to get Official 4.2.2
If it's true I could also make a donation to Samsung, lol
I`d say this will never happen
Right now I'm happy with using the CM build but an official update would be cool; if only to help improve the performance for CM too.
I also can not believe it, as Android 4.2.2 seems not to support the Tegra2 any more.
R: Rumour: Tab 8.9 to get Official 4.2.2
4.1.2 would be enough though

Why not? There are enough custom roms on 4.2.2 and some of these working very good on Tegra 2.
samsung rom have quite much bloatware and eat more ram while custom rom doesnt but my intuition say it will come with some exception

Not really. Tegra2 is very bad supported and even the CM10.1 for our tab has the flicker issue.
Odp: Rumour: Tab 8.9 to get Official 4.2.2
It would be really cool if it will be also available for galaxy tab 8.9 lte p7320, since we don't have any jelly bean based custom roms for it... and it is still quite good device IMO

How many of you actually spotted someone else carrying a galaxy mini ?

Got the idea of this thread from nexus 4 forums, i thought we should also share our experiences about this.
Well, I actually saw only 2 times, someone else also using sgm, one is my friend and another in a cyber café a guy was using there, he was using stock gb lol

Uh... 10-20 times in phone shop. All of them running Froyo, and one Hipster girl is running CM10.1 (i guess, but i see she is pulling down the statusbar and it's really look like CM10.1).
there are only 3 people have mini on my campus, me and 2 others. 1 using froyo, 1 cmx and now I revert back to emanon..

Oh, i remember, some months ago my charger was damaged somehow so when i ran out of battery and tried connecting charger, mini gave no response, i thought my battery is gone, so i went to care center and asked for new battery, but when they tryied with their charger it started charging.
Then the guy there started to show me that device is all right, by switching it on
Then what he saw was completely shocking for him, first he saw that splash screen, device name written galaxy mini written instead of galaxy pop (in india)
He asked me if i imported the device lol
Then when he saw the bootanim he was again shocked, i was using nexus bootanim that time, he asked me what's this? A nexus? Lolz
I said i just changed the bootanimation, he looked confused
Then what he saw was completely out of his mind, it was cm10.1
He didnt evn recognised android 4.2 and tryied to unlock it like other devices touch and slide anywhere on screen. He saw completely different ui, blue battery icon asked me which os is this, i showed him android 4.2.2 in about phone
Then what i did was, ran out of there to my home back before he asked me anything more, but at last i told him, dont worry u wont understand

Don't go tp cc for flashing stock they don't know what flashing is
All they will do is, connect ur phone via kies, since custom rom don't get detected by kies it won't work
They will then tell u some useless things (they have to tel u something at last) like u need to get new motherboard cuz usb port not Woking and blah blah, they dont know wat odin is
