Here is a good read about rooting and what it means:
http://androidforums.com/faqs/443432-what-root-being-rooted-mean.html
Lots of folks like to root their devices to use root apps.
Root apps allow the user to delve/change/access files and folders on their phone that otherwise would not be able to be accessed.
Root also allow you to use/install/flash (if you will) some tweaks and modifications as far as the entire look of the phone/OS (roms), or change the behavior (speed) of the device.
With root comes great caution.
Flash the wrong thing, or edit the wrong thing and your phone (worst case scenario) can become a brick.
The Samsung S3, compared to other devices, is hard to brick.
As long as you can get into download mode and have firmware to flash, it can be recovered.
Depending on your android version, there may be a limit as to what you can do with root.
If you decide you want to root, we can assist, and alot of research and reading will help too
What is your software version and baseband? (menu/settings/about phone)

It says 4.1 I love this phone but it just seems complacated lol I recorded a video for my friend I guess in hd it was 14 min long and it kept saying file to big the I got agravated and reset my phone and lost the video because I didn't know how to save it to my sd card I was like smooth move exlax ugh this phone
ok, no worries
If you ever decide to root, 4.1 is the best version to be on as far as rooting, so if you can help it, (if you want to root later), do not accept any OTA updates
Also, if you want to read about rooting and the steps for it, in your spare time, have a look-see at this thread:

?? Not sure why, but it's up to you
Account Deletions: We periodically get requests to delete an account. This was previously not allowed. You now have the following options:
1) We can drop you into a "Disabled" usergroup that does just that - locks the account down completely. This makes it unusable. However, the beauty here is if a user changes their mind it can easily be recovered.
2) We can "delete" your account. The vbulletin delete function removes the account completely, email association, etc. However it *does* leave all your posts in tact. It grays out the username attached to the posts and changes your title to "guest". So, all your posts are still in tact for the sake of conversation flow but the account is in fact deleted. This cannot be reversed. This option will require a "are you sure?" confirmation if you have any posts at all and once you say yes - we will do it. If you wish you hadn't requested it some time in the future.. bummer.
A complete purge (as in delete your account and all posts/pms/etc) is not allowed. It will mess with the flow of conversation and we like to keep what all is put on this forum for record. However should you have a special case you need to make to me, you're welcome to. If I see reason that a full purge is in fact necessary I will run it by Rob. Side note: All posts you delete or edit in your history to work around this can and will be reverted to whichever version of edit history we choose.
To request the delete, please send an email to phases@phandroid.com with the account you used to register here.
