Decreases wifi bars by one or 2! I'm sure this has been discovered just seems odd.

the antenna is in the bottom-left corner.
if it causes problems connecting you can use your tablet upside-down.

When I got the phone 5 days ago the home button was raised a good bit and it felt comfortable. I however noticed that it has since become almost flush with the screen. Is it meant to do this? Do I have a faulty phone and if so should I exchange it? It felt much better raised.

Don't think so. Mine isn't doing that.

Mine sits just about flush with the same phone. Unsure if that's how it's supposed to be but I like it better than raised. I don't remember if it was raised when I got it tbh

Mines almost flush with the screen however I don't remember what is was like when I got it. I've had it for almost a week now.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I went to the store today and the ones on display were practically flush as well. However I exanged my phone anyway just in case this actually is a defect. Thanks for the help everyone.

When I use the mobile hotspot on Paranoid Android 2.15 (Same thing on BAKED b4) everyone on the phone seems too work fine but when I try to connect with my laptop it says "Unable to connect" with no other specifics. Anyone know why?
Go to settings and change the device profile to galaxy s3. I had the same problem and that seems to have fixed it.

I'm sorry I was talking about the wireless tether app not the Verizon hot spot. Guess that's what I get for checking xda in the middle of the night after getting my 2 year old back the sleep. Lol

I not using verizon's app just the hotspot in settings, what wireless tether app are you using?
Wireless tether from the play store. Works great on a rooted phone. Foxfi also works good if you aren't rooted.

There's this bright green line down my screen.. What is this...

Its a portal, you have to have a very special set of stylist's to open it or if your fingers are real sharp sometimes pinch open it....
Sounds like a bad screen, did you drop it?
Hahahah Nope I just turned it on and there was this green light down vertically from top to bottom. I tried restarting but it's still there..

Would Verizon give me a completely new phone?? Even if I don't have insurance? And the phone is still fully functional?

they might not if you don't have insurance, but you never know, if you can prove its a factory defect they may consider an exception
They will next day air you a replacement phone, should fall under the manufacture warranty as already said.
Do you possibly know the proper procedure in doing this??

Okay this green line keeps coming back.. Getting a replacement this Friday. Does anyone know if I have to unroot this? Does anyone know if the new replacement is a refurbished one or a completely new one?

I would unroot and relock bootloader and reset the flash counter before I send it back. You'll be getting a refurbished one. If it was under 14 days of when you got your phone you can ask them to give you a new phone on the spot in stores.
My wife's verizon galaxy s3 just died. I flashed a theme, it gave me an error, i hit reboot device on twrp and the phone turned itself off and now won't turn on. The phone wont even charge. I can't even get it to the download (odin) screen. What can i do to get it back to life?

Try Q and A section. You might have better luck.

I would leave it charging for a good couple of hours and then try to get it to power on and/or get you to Odin mode. Also, did you try a good old fashioned battery pull???

It could have fallen victim to the infamous "sudden death" syndrome. If so, it should be replaceable under warranty. Call/visit verizon to find out.

Pretty sure the screen of death syndrome was limited to phones with the exynos processor.... We're not effected.
What theme did you flash?

From what the issue seems to be with these completely dying, why wouldnt they replace it? Its toast so unless they spend all the time and tear it apart to try and fix it, they would just send him a new one, or go into Verizon (if you got it through them) and have them do it

its awfully hard to get help when you dont provide all the information for people who might want to help you...or any information for that matter.
You can JTAG for 65$ I think and yes Verizon would also replace it for you with a refurbished one.

I cant say for sure, but I'd guess its one of those features that detects when you are looking at the screen to keep it on.
