Love the phone, hate the problems...

It seems to be just my luck with Samsung phones. Looks like this one is going back to T-Mo to be exchanged for a "cross my fingers and hope it's better than this one" S3.

Come to think of it, my first Vibrant was also exchanged within 2 days of getting it since the bezel on that phone just flat fell off.

Anyhow, my white S3 seems to be dropping wi-fi non-stop (I've tried the *#0011# which didn't help out any). The other thing is that if I hook it up in my car, the static/hissing/cracking is plain unbearable when nothing is being played (it's less noticeable with headphones or when music is playing).

Hopefully some luck comes my way and the next S3 fares better. Now to decide if I want to switch from the white to the blue... decisions, decisions....
 
Mine also is making a lot of static, pops, and other noise when playing any audio files.
I suspect a codec issue, hardware or blue-tooth problem.
 
Went to exchange it for another white S3 today. First one seems to have been a lemon. There's some barely noticeable feedback this time around but nothing like before /knock on wood. It's also holding wi-fi and 4g connections a lot better this time around.
 
So folks haven't even gotten the Verizon version of the S3 yet which will account for a highest percentage of users yet the problems do seem to be flooding in already.

It's not just problems but the ones where people respond and say "yea, I'm having the same problem" without there being any fixes or resolutions.

The DX forum had very few issues over all. I really hope vzw has a different version of the ROM that has fewer issues.
