Thanks.

I figured it must be the same from what I read over at xda, but I thought asking here would get a better reception lol.

Right, now I'm gonna give it a bash.

hi - after a couple of weeks ownership, I have a problem

When I try to create a wi-fi hotspot, it just fails instantly everytime - it was OK for the first couple of weeks. Have I maybe changed a setting ???

Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean OTA update has just been released for Korean S3s, does anyone know if it's safe to install for rooted devices?

The JB OTA is just a leak, not official release. I used it for a couple days but I hated the annoying big SKT letters it put in the left top part of my status bar. To get it to install I had to go back to official firmware, official recovery then install and re-root.

The Galaxy SIV is due in February next year, so why bother getting an S3?

Hi everyone,

I've tried to root my new Olleh S3 multiple times but have failed. No access to a PC at all. Followed XDA instructions. Epic fail.

SO. If there is anyone in the Daejeon area willing to help me root it I would be eternally grateful. I'd also be willing to offer a small stipend. PM me and I'll get back in touch with you. Thanks!

can i just ask what is the model name of the 3G SGS3 in Korea?

I currently have the international SGS3 (I9300) in Australia and i was wondering if i can use it in South Korea.

Thanks.

So now that the S3 is on Jellybean... Is it just me, or did the notification bar become more jerky when you pull it down?

Another thing, I'm using Nova Launcher and with Jellybean I have a "clickthrough" effect: When I press the home button, with ICS it used to wake the phone and take me to the currently running app or the currently visible screen. With the JB update, the home button acts exactly as if the phone was on, i.e. "quit" the running program and take me to the desktop, or the main home screen. I have to use the power button to unlock if I want the old behaviour.

Might be that NL is behind the update curve, but at the moment I find that and the jerky notification bar very annoying.
