Samsung Galaxy S3 problem?

[Mandi Maestro]

I was gifted this Samsung galaxy s3 from china. It works fine as a phone but Samsung apps doesn't function properly and there is no google App Store. Also, there are some strange apps like weibo and mobile QQ. The GPS doesn't work either. Is there any way I can make it normal?

I believe that the Galaxy S III you hold is fake. When you claim that it's China, chances are, this phone is fake if it lacks the Google Play Store and having a dodgy GPS.

I wouldn't call it really strange to see Weibo and QQ. Weibo is basically China's version of Facebook and Twitter and QQ is kinda like MSN. And so, it's not strange to have these 2 apps if your phone comes from China.

But the rest, I really have a feeling that your phone is fake.
