Samsung Galaxy S3

NEW DELHI: While announcing Galaxy S3 at an event in London, Samsung said the device would support wireless charging when used with a special charger that would be sold separately.

This brings up a question: How does wireless charging work? Among the engineers and scientists, wireless charging is known as 'inductive charging'. It utilizes two smart coils -one in the charger and another in the device that is getting charged. The primary coil creates a very small electromagnetic field around the charger through which electricity can be transferred. The secondary coil, which is in the phone, receives the power from electromagnetic field and converts in back into electric current to feed it into the battery.

The technology is still in the early stages and it works best when the distance between the two coils is few millimeters. That's the reason why users have to place the device on the charger.

The main benefit of wireless charging is that it removes one more wire. This not only makes it easier to charge the phone but also has aesthetic appeal. At the same time, wireless charging has poor efficiency. This means it takes longer to charge the battery through wireless charger.

Galaxy S3 is not the first phone to use wireless charging. Three years ago Palm commercialized the technology and sold a charger called Touchstone that allowed phones like Pre and Pixi to be charged wirelessly. Powermat is another company that sells special chargers, which can be used with iPhone and other devices for wireless charging.

After introducing the technology in 2009, Palm supported it in almost all of its devices. Even Touchpad, which was introduced in the market last year after Palm had been acquired by HP, had this feature. Of course, Palm is dead now.

There is a chance that Samsung is doing things differently. But that is not apparent. The company says that to charge Galaxy S3 wirelessly, users will have to keep the device on the 'special charger'. This is exactly how Touchstone worked.

I disagree, Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a 4.8 inches display, LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, Quad-core Processor, S-Voice, 2100 mAh battery and some other things :)

But is a phone of Google

And doesn't have TW

Yes, it's a nice feature, but some Galaxy Nexus owners were pissed off because Google delivers updates later than other manufacturers when Google should be the first.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Yamizzolo:
I really love this new s3. Android 4, Extremely smooth and awesome touchwiz, powerful..what else? it is not the same touchwiz..it is more like holo launcher with tw icons that aren't that bad..

Been playing with it. I can't see releasing it as an average users alternative though as Gentoo is nowhere as user friendly as Ubuntu. I was working on a flashable version for the Photon with some changes but had to stop myself and get back to higher priority projects. Gave them my ubuntop cwm template to help out though which an Atrix user grabbed and may have an Ubuntop release for Atrix soon.

changing the home button to long-press only..

because of this!

I was closing out of texts at least half the time because I usually type pretty fast. This wasn't as big of a deal with the text messaging apps like the stock one and go sms because I could open it back up and finish my text but with IMO my message would be cleared. Huge pain it was

Love the Zelda buttons. Good taste :)

The extra button functionality might push me into rooting for the very first time...

hah thanks. I "made" them yesterday from some pictures I found on deviantart. My gf thinks I have a problem
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Swyping for the most part solves this problem, although even when I type it rarely happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meatlikeproduct:
I can't swype.. I don't know what it is but I'm just not good at it. Maybe it's the same reason I'm always hitting the home button
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
lol, there is a learning curve with Swype. It's not just a pick up and use type thing, it takes some patience. Once you get used to it though its much faster.

LMT offers all kinds of customization with long press.

Getting the extra screen real estate is awesome. All video apps run full screen now including browsing, flash video and gaming.

No custom rom required.

It is awesome running full screen and then just using Pie in LMT to handle the buttons.

A thing I've noticed when showing people swype, is that the faster a typist you are, the easier it is to learn swype. I type 120 WPM myself, so I have a pretty good mental picture of where all of the keys are.

Hey there guys,

Recently purchased a NIB Alltel HTC Snap (CDMA/GSM) version, essentially an unbranded Verizon Ozone with slight button differences. Purchased it to use as a backup phone :D

Well, it was on Stock WM6.1. I couldn't locate an Official Alltel 6.5 update, as the Alltel Snap isn't even listed anymore on HTC Website.

In short, I hardspl'd the device and application unlocked the phone.

Then I flashed ookba's 3VO build for the Ozone (latest)

Everything was hassle free with no headaches. My phone is running great, despite the fact some of my buttons are wrong. I need to remap them.

I located this thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7063824&postcount=1053

But I am unsure if this will work with my Alltel Snap or not.

I WOULD GREATLY appreciate it if someone can help me out with this mapping process :D

Thank you to all in advance.

PS: searched both XDA and Google extensively and could not find any clear info pertaining to my model.

Personally what puts me off the One X is the lack of micro sd expansion and battery removal which seems to be the norm (sadly).

I suppose its just wishful thinking, but at least there will probs be a stock ICS rom that is better in my eyes than touch wiz. :p

ill agree to that, on a HOS from 1GB of ram, you end up with 170Mb free which makes the phone have to reload if you need multitasking. Terrible experience. Sure it looks nice,but its not productive.

I have never used touchwiz as this will be my first samsung phone, but having seen it from friends, it looks nice and productive.

Have you tried flashing any ROM/Kernal?

Are you radios up to date?

Thread moved to Q&A.

You can chose any rom you like and try it. Just make sure you're using the cdma or gsm version depending on your phone and follow all instructions, some are based on hboot 1.4 or 1.5. Just look in the development section, personally I run MikRunny.

Yes, I'm a noob. This forum can be a bit intimidating with all the forums, sub forums, and sub sub forums, so I apologize if this is in the wrong place.

What I've done...

Installed CWM

Made full backup using CWM

Rooted using superuser.zip

Reverted to backup via CWM

Everybody here seems to be hardcore about teaching others how to do cool things, which is awesome. However, I can't really find any solid information on how to revert back to stock.

I want to get rid of CWM, and anything else on my phone and just go back to how I got the phone from AT&T. I found the following thread, but A.) It's for Rogers, and B.) it seems a bit dated.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342348

So if someone can confirm if the info in that thread is still good, I'll follow that. However, will the Rogers files be different than AT&T? Where can I find stock AT&T stuff and how do I remove CWM.

I'm on Android 2.3.6 right now.

Yes, I'm comfortable using Odin.
