Phone randomly switches to MUTE without vibrabte

Using a NON ROOTED phone.

After JB update, the phone mutes by itself randomly !
And it doesn't vibrate at all.

I have searched all my apps and even move the mute icon to prevent accidental activation.

Anyone with the same problems ?

Seems to me that you're experiencing the same thing I did in December last year. My phone would sometimes shutdown on its own. Turns out that there was a defect with my batch when the phone was released, motherboard issue.

Sent it to service centre and got the motherboard replaced. Working smoothly and typing from my phone now.

Just asking, I'm planning to buy an micro sd card during the next it show...

Technically s3 supports up to 64gb but if I do buy and use it, will the phone fully utilize all 64gb on top or the 16gb internal memory or will it cap at some limit such as 32?

Thanks in advance.

Apps can only be install in the 16 gb internal memory unless root to utilise the memory card.

Avoid sandisk, many people have sandisk microsd card suddenly not working in samsung phone. Not worth to buy memory card during it show. Most SLS shops had jacked up the price compared to 1-2 weeks ago.

Sigh, Been very careless with my S3. Dropped it and screen cracked, recently dropped into toilet bowl as well. Now its screen crack plus Camera flash blinking randomly lol. Anyone knows if telco will accept phone with cracked glass for trade in? Repairing at samsung service centre seems like very expensive, not sure 50% discount is still available or not.
