Probably, Samsung is now unleashing the Samsung Galaxy S3 to its full capability to give users a fully satisfied experience using the device. So, when it comes to extreme users experience a more stable Android firmware might be considered a great resource aside from its hardware specifications and speeds.

Anyway, this firmware is still packed in Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, this must be a preparation for the upcoming Android 4.1 Jelly Bean that are about to be release soon.

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Firmware Update for Samsung Galaxy S3 is ongoing testing

According to the always well-informed website SamMobile, Samsung is already working with the testing of Android 4.1 nicknamed Jellybean for Samsung Galaxy S3. The Android Jelly Bean is the most advance Android OS for Smartphones this days.

Android 4.1 Jellybean was only recently unveiled by Google and can be found and experienced with Galaxy Nexus users already, but it seems that the new testing policy - which manufacturers previously have access to new versions of Android - is paying off throws. According to sources, the Koreans SamMobile's now almost ready to update the Galaxy S3 - possibly as early as August or September.

Samsung itself has still no official statement on its policy update to Android 4.1 - just an announcement that this explanation. For now it seems - despite the good news about a possible quick update - prudent to await this statement.

Samsung's TecTiles a programmable NFC stickers on Galaxy S III

Near Field Communication or NFC is slowly entering the mainstream. With Samsung's TecTiles, these programmable NFC stickers allows your Galaxy S III to do a number of functions, including updating Facebook status and posting Tweets, with just a simple tap.

NFC plays a pretty big part in Samsung's latest smartphone, the Galaxy S III. It's used to initiate an S Beam connection, which lets you transfer photos and videos (among other things) from one Galaxy S III to another. (There's some Wifi Direction action involved there, but we digress.) Back to the tags, though.

The TecTiles tags will run you $14.99 for a five-pack, which you can purchase from Samsung online, or at AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile stores. (Yes. That's a whopping $3 a tag.) They're good for many thousands of rewrites, Samsung tells us. So what can they do? It's a pretty extensive list. One you download and install the TecTiles app -- which works just fine on non-Samsung phones, by the way -- you'll be able to write tags to do the following:

Settings & Applications

* Change phone settings (Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi, ringer/media volume, screen brightness, etc.)
* Launch an application
* Join a Wi-Fi Network
* Show a message

Communication

* Make a call
* Send a text message
* Start a Google Talk conversation
* Share a contact or business card

Location & Web

* Show an address on a map
* Open a web page
* Foursquare or Facebook check-in

Social

* Automatic Facebook “Like”
* Update Facebook status
* Post a tweet or follow a contact on Twitter
* Connect on LinkedIn

A Samsung Galaxy S3 'Exploded' in a Carkit Says an Irish Owner

An exploded Samsung Galaxy S3 Pphotos now scattered online.  This claims from a Galaxy S3 owner from Ireland who recently posted this incident happens inside on his car mounted on the car-kit. The owner was safety unhurt during the incident  but the explosion apparently left some nasty molten plastic remains inside of his car.

Here's the photos of a busted Samsung Galaxy S3 from the owners original post.

Here's the owner statement on this incident.

Hi,

So I driving along today with my Galaxy S3 in my car mount when suddenly a white flame, sparks and a bang came out of the phone.

I pulled in to look at my phone, the phone burned from the inside out. Burned through the plastic and melted my case to my phone. The phone kept working but without any signal.

I brought it to the carphone warehouse and they told me that they couldn't replace it for me that they had to send it off to be checked out first. No even replacement phone, left with nothing.

The phone was destroyed and it slightly burned a piece of plastic on the inside of my car.

And they are refusing to give me a replacement they had to send it off. Probably nothing I can do, but Im really annoyed. That could have burned the side of my face or through my pocket and my leg, or set fire to my bed. Its very dangerous.

Update:
After receiving no help from the Carphone Warehouse. Samsung contacted me, the head of customer services came out to see me and gave me a replacement phone. Even said he would send me out some free stuff.

There is no confirmation that it was a fault with the phone. It may actually have been caused by a combination of my car mount and my cars heating system.

Just delighted to have my Galaxy back


Photos of the damage are further down.

News Agencies
I am not available for an interview an contact requesting an interview will be ignored.

Samsung has already issued a statement on its Samsung Tomorrow blog, saying:

“There have been recent online posts displaying pictures of a Samsung GALAXY S3 that appears to have heat-related damage at the bottom of the device. Samsung is aware of this issue and will begin investigating as soon as we receive the specific product in question.”

The latest report on Samsung Galaxy S3 could costly for the company as it comes just a few days after sources from Apple claiming that its latest product iPhone 5 would put Samsung Galaxy S3 to shame.

Samsung Electronics launched its flagship smartphone Galaxy S3 last month and has received good response from gadget lovers all over the world. It also got rave reviews from reviewers.

The international variant of Samsung Galaxy S3 sports a super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colours, 720 x 1280 pixels, 4.8 inches (306 ppi pixel density), multitouch, Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and TouchWiz UI v4.0. It features a 1.4GHz quad-core processor and 1GB RAM.

Measuring 136.6 x 70.6 x 8.6 mm and weighing 133 grams Samsung Galaxy S3 features Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, 4G LTE connectivity, 2GB of RAM, a dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, Mail-400MP GPU.
