[Galaxy S III General] Mazzstrikers:
YES! AN UNBIASED STATEMENT AT LAST. Precisely. The reason S3 gartnered so many mixed views is because S3 this year wasn't such a big deal compared to S2 last year. When S2 was released last year it TOTALLY blew the competition out of the water (coming from a One X user FYI). However, this year the competition HAS caught up, with the One X putting some real serious pressure on S3. Samsung has to know that tweaking the software and changing the SOC are not going to keep them market leaders. We want to see the radical change we saw in S2.
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
From S1 to S2, I will be definitely getting the S3.

Considering the S2 has managed everything I have thrown at it effortlessly, I doubt the S3 wont.

My only issue....the back looks so bland / boring. Hopefully some aftermarket replacement battery doors will hit the market shortly after release.

Personally, I absolutely love the textured back on the S2. Doesn't scratch or wear. The S3 will.
[Galaxy S III General] Mazzstrikers:
Yup, that's what I feel too. S1 and S2 both looked very nice in design. Don't know how Samsung would conceive such an idea for S3.

I won't start another OneX vs GSIII rant.I just refuse to.Get both phones or something and stop crying.And that goes to both sides,coming from an owner of an SII and four HTCs before that.

To the point I want to make:

Rewind to a little more than a year ago.The SII is getting launched.Half people are happy and waiting impatiently for it to come out.The other half is saying stuff like:

-The Tegra 2 is far better than the Exynos(:eek: Whada**** you drinking?Absinthe with a splash of cocaine?)

-The Sensation/Optimus 2X is a far better phone that the SII(I was considering the Sensation,but it didn't cut it at the time.As for the Optimus 2X...Bliah)

-The GSII is fugly,the textured back is stupid(Look at what people say now)

-Plastic is ****ty and it lacks quality(Let's be honest,plastic doesn't feel as good on the hand,but have you seen many smartphones being thrown 5-6 meters in the air,falling in gravel,asphalt or concrete and still surviving to tell the tale with no significant damage?I haven't)

-The Amoled screen is worse than the SuperLCDs other phones use(Two words-Personal opinion)

-Small text looks fuzzy on Amoled screens with low resolution(Well,it's a good thing someone smarter than that has invented zooming,right?)

-Benchmarks don't mean ****,the Exynos doesn't cut it(So said the average Tegra fanboy who overclocked his device,cheated Quadrant,and still reached a score a little higher than what a STOCK GSII scored-sounds like hurt egoism to me)

-The sound of the SII is crap!(Well...That one's right,but that's about it.The others weren't any better.And this opinion is Supercurio's fault.If people hadn't experienced Voodoo Sound on the original GS,they wouldn't be saying that. :p )​

And many,many,MANY other crap like this.I admit that,at first,I believed half of it and called the SII **** countless times.Today,almost a year after I bought it,I admit that it was the most wise purchase I've made to this day.

What's the point of all this?If you didn't already understand,remember me in 2-3 months. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
Toli Toli Toli..If that ain't a rant i don't know what would you call a rant then:p both phones are great and that is it end off. No need to throw your fuel in the fire:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
I specifically said that it's not a OneX vs GS3 rant,not that it's not a rant at all.Maybe I wasn't clear. :p

Both phones ARE great,I never said otherwise.As I said elsewhere,I'm waiting for the GS3 to come to stores so I can compare them and then make my choice.I'm still considering the OneX.But people persisting that a phone is bad without having a personal experience with it is plain stupid,and I think we can all agree here. :)

I just saw a repeated pattern here and pointed it out.If I am wrong,correct me freely.Just hide if you do. :p

Kidding,but you get my point I think.
[Galaxy S III General] Goku80:
hehe i do filaraki mou...missed you dude in the s2 forums since i moved to the one x. Both phones are great. And all this fanboy crap kinda does get annoying but enjoyable as well with some popcorn:p Oti tilefono fa pareis einai para polla kala na exeis..i have a feeling though that we shall be seeing one more phone from Sammy in Q3 and from HTC
[Galaxy S III General] tolis626:
Ola kala einai more,alla panta theloume kalytera. ;)

Well,in some cases,fanboyism is extreme and there popcorn and Cola really is the best you can do. ;)

And tell me,where else will you find anyone more eager to fry his phone by overclocking,eh? :p

Strange thing is,I haven't fried any phone yet... :D

[Galaxy S III General] Gurjot95:

[Galaxy S III General] TheUnkn0wn:
Yes you're right one one sense, but AMOLED displays use a lot more power when displaying whites. When displaying blacks, the pixels just turn off so no powers used.
[Galaxy S III General] Yonatanl2:
I like this thread, sure it's a little bit biased towards the Galaxy SIII but in my opinion the Galaxy 3 was put on the hot seat for an unjustified reason. Overall was a good read!
[Galaxy S III General] NIK516:
Great read open, the only thing that gets me is people putting down the display I use a galaxy nexus and I love it , its crisp( I've owned an iPhone 4 so I know crisp) and the colors are so nice. Also I get 3 hours of screen on battery use . That to me is good.

Gs3 will be a good phone they did well, I just hope updates just bring more features to this beast of a phone .

I guess Samsung thought "I guess a lot of iPhone users will be wanting to replace their iPhone with the SIII" ;)
[Galaxy S III General] TheUnkn0wn:
It's because of the stock SD Cards they are using, it has better read speeds than the One X though. For best performance I would buy a SanDisk Ultra.

Or retest is required. Even on current devices, some of the test results are very inconsistent (wished more websites are utilizing multiple test trials before posting the results)

Can't wait for this phone. I will hold off until I hear more about GPS and the radios. Those are the two main issues I have with my Epic Touch. All are weak. If it's week on the SIII, I may have to go Evo LTE.
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Both Galaxy SII and Galaxy Note came with awesome GPS and radio

GPS on the Note is the fastest i've seen. Based on the specs, it looks like the SIII is using the same setup (combination barometer, GPS/GLONASS)

[Galaxy S III General] Mazzstrikers:
Nah Samsung radios have weak signal strength. The WiFi and GPS signal strength on my nexus is not half as good as my One X don't be misled.
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
and WiFi/GPS signal strength on my Note is far better than my nexus. What's your point?

GPS signal strength on a device with GLONASS/GPS should be better than GPS only device right? Also the wifi module used in Samsung devices are typically broadcom units aren't they?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
I got my Galaxy Note on tuesday, been playing around with it for a few days. But since downloading Facebook my contacts have messed up. So I restored it to factory settings.

Since relaunching when I try and download Instagram it says it's incompatible, yet I had it before I restored and there is no update for my phone, when I done it first time or now. I'm on 2.3.6.

Also before I log in to Facebook again, is there a way to get it not to mess with my contacts? I don't just mean under contacts, I mean under when you try to add a recipient to a text, I don't want it to list all my Facebook friends, contacts on my phone and contacts on my sim.

I've also had a few crashes for no apparent reason and on reload no error message?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islandmixed:

uninstall with Titanium Backup. And do not sign in with your dropbox account;)

[HTC One X] webpatrick:
Why? There's no need to sync all files.

Free 25GB and you want it gone :confused:
[HTC One X] treebill:
Dropsync app on play set up folders to sync and there you go.
[HTC One X] LaneyEFC:
Well suppose BUT it's still free 25GB
[HTC One X] cronus101:
Free, yes... But their customer service is appalling. Consider: you use their service, but something goes wrong. You contact them but they are unhelpful. You have used the service for long and have gotten used to it, thus finding other services inadequate. As a result, you're screwed. Now granted, something might not go wrong, but are you willing to take that risk? I'm not saying dropbox is bad, but there customer service is rubbish. In the long run, when the 25gb expires, it will affect you. Of course, you can always hope that they would change before that.
[HTC One X] 1earful:
on unrooted phone: open app drawer. find dropbox icon. long press. at top of the screen the uninstall option will appear. drag the icon to that option. if dropbox or any other app is shown on one of the carousel screens, long pressing and dragging to the "remove" option at the top of the screen will remove the icon from the screen, but you still need to go into the app drawer to actually uninstall.

dropbox has some options not available in google drive. i agree about not counting on the 25gb storage, however, unless you are sure you're going to want to retain the service after the two years are up.
[HTC One X] davn8r:
No such luck on HTC One

The Uninstall is greyed out - if only it was that easy. I get my status bar gummed up multiple times daily by crap from dropbox and I really don't want to use their service. I guess maybe I am locked in unless I root the phone?
[HTC One X] virgolib:
If you want to root, hv to unlock bootloader. After rooted you can remove the system app just like dropbox and so on....
[HTC One X] treebill:
Setting > app > all

Then simply disable dropbox

I just tried to start my Geo-Photo App on my Samsung SmartTV and I get a message saying that Google Maps Service from Google Inc. has been discontinued. See the attached Image in German.

Rough english Translation:

"Through ending of the Google Maps Service from Google Inc., the Geo-Photo Application, starting from the 20. April 2012, is no longer available."

I wonder if this is just the Geo-Photo App or if other Apps on Samsung SmartTV are impacted by this?

[Off-topic] swiss420:
Hihi, obviously you never used Geo-Photo. If you belief it or not, finding the nearest Restaurant is not the only use for Google Maps. As a matter of fact I never use Google Maps outside. But just wait a few Years until you want to show your Kids the Pictures from your past. Good luck finding out in a folder with thousands of pictures where and when the picture was taken. Being able to pull it up on a 46" inch TV with all your trips automatically shown is a great way to show pictures to your kids. Even for me it was interessting to see where I took a particular picture. Especially the ones when I am flying. Luckely I have been using Geotagging since my BlueAngel. So the past 10 Years I can view on a Map where I have taken a picture which was absolutely great. I can still use Flickr or Google Earth on a connected PC to view the same thing but the App was quicker and easier to handle. It was one of the few apps I used regularly on my TV.

View attachment 1042278

I am now just wondering what might have changed that Google Maps does not continue this Service. Unfortuntely I was unable to find any Information about this change Online.

[HTC Incredible S] Nonverbose:
As the Wildfires unlock utility does not work for our phone due to a number of reasons, I would like to look into possibly putting together a script specifically for our device.

If you have a htcdev unlocked bootloader and wish to contribute there's a couple of methods that you can use to extract a copy of the misc partition.

Using adb

adb shell
su
cat /dev/block/mmcblk0p17 > /sdcard/misc.img

Or using terminal you can enter the same commands, minus adb shell of course.

If those that contribute could also post their hboot version it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I love xda, I spend a large portion of my time browsing the forums, mainly this section and the galaxy s2 section. But I both loathe and love xda for making me customise and mod my HOX and SG2, spending countless hours each week trying new kernels, mods, widgets, Roms etc...

If I didn't know about xda I'm sure I'd just change the wallpapers on my phones and the rest would stay stock - which wouldn't be a bad thing. I'd probably have a clear head to focus on other things.

I've customised my HOX now exactly how I like it now, but the fact that there is so much option and information on xda, I can't stay exactly how I like for long because I will constantly changing things around - for the better or sometimes worse, resulting in disaster for a hour or so while I reinstall everything or do nandroid recovery.

Thanks xda, and contributors for giving me the tools and information to waste a day modding and customising my phone - only to realise that I liked things how they were before :p

How do you guys feel? Love/hate xda for the options it gives you? :)
