[Galaxy S III General] Master05:
First of all I have to say, the Samsung Galaxy S3 looks veeeery good to me.

You want to know why?

1. Unique design, more curvy which

definately

will give you a better feeling when holding the phone in your hand. Just look at your palm, is it completely flat? I don't think so. Therefore it's easier to hold a curvy S3 in your hand compared to an angular shaped S2. I really think the S3 looks better and gives you more comfort just by seeing the way it's designed.

2. Plastic, it's very sturdy and therefore less damage can happen when it's dropped e.g. to the floor. Drop an iPhone/HTC and get ready to call the service line.

3. Weight, plastic is the way to go if you want a thin and light phone. Some people here sound as if they would like a flipping phone made out of solid osmium (heaviest of all metals)

4. Replaceable components, seriously guys, UNIBODY MY ASS, I want to be able to replace the battery without having to send it to Samsung and wait for the service to fix it. On top of that Unibody doesn't allow you to buy a bigger battery for your phone (though I think the stock 2100 mAh already is good!)

And no SD Card slot like the HTC One X? LOL.

5. Sorry for my english :o

Those being just some arguments which definately make reasonable why Sammy doesn't choose as same path as HTC/Apple.
[Galaxy S III General] 1234568:
Fair points, but I'm still disappointed they went the high gloss route. IMO, if it was matt plastic it would be far more appealing.
[Galaxy S III General] Bigmille:
I'm not sure the design is totally unique, kind remind me of the Plam Pre.

Can you see the similarity?
[Galaxy S III General] ciscostud:
The back of the phone comes completely off. I'm sure there will be hundreds of back plates to choose from.
[Galaxy S III General] Sim-1:
Talking about similarities, just a couple of days ago I found this article very amusing.. :)
[Galaxy S III General] eallan:
Plastic is a terrible conductor of heat.
[Galaxy S III General] a67543210:
Nice talk.you are a genius.like your points
[Galaxy S III General] laztpn0i:
Agreed. I personally like the back cover of the Galaxy Nexus. I'm not a fan of high gloss. Some kind of texture would would have been nice.
[Galaxy S III General] Venekor:
It's only a bit of plastic on the back that I'm sure you'll be able to buy third party ones.
[Galaxy S III General] MrChaosDesire:
You can surely find lots of interesting faceplates and back covers for the SIII, even my Galaxy Ace has tons of awesome looking designs on a design store in an Indian Website(that's in english)
[Galaxy S III General] rete:
I find it amusing that people somehow think the HOX is not made of plastic. Polycarbonates are a group of plastics.
[Galaxy S III General] Cryosx:
:) me too.
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
It's the same reason why people that own german cars think they have a better quality material eventhough it's the same plastic used in other brands just in different texture
[Galaxy S III General] Dani897:
i find it amusing that people think samsung doesnt use metal. the screen is bonded to a cast frame presumably aluminum but maybe magnesium on all the phones i have repaired. remove the battery and scrape the black area underneath with a sharp metal object if you dont believe me. the plastic they use is not only tough and fracture resistant but it's pretty much superficial.

now im sure htc has improved their designs but the evo was toy like in construction. thin cheap plastics and the pcb was a thin single layer design and the copper traces could easily seperate from the board. also the one i repaired had cold solder joints and the spring contacts they used in place or cables were falling off the board.

samsung does things that are frustrating from a development point of view but i never agreed with the quality argument.

well i'm looking forward to the s3 for the audio mostly. but i want to see what challenges the hardware offers aosp development. though i like touch wiz i dont expect samsung to support the device for more than 1 or 2 major updates. i have learned my lesson and will only buy the us version if it is the same hardware profile as the international version. and ill only buy an s3 if the bt and other hardware are aosp friendly.
[Galaxy S III General] BarryH_GEG:
Or this. Yours for only $89. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Sim-1:
I agree with you but HOX looks more sleek. Shiny plastics give the GS3 a feel of cheaper phone. Can't wait to hold it to see how it feels in real life.
[Galaxy S III General] NIK516:
German cars do have a better quality , I know from experience. But I get your point its how you use the material.

I think the plastic on the back of my galaxy nexus feels great .
[Galaxy S III General] NIK516:
I'm sure they will make a back that's matt just like the hox
[Galaxy S III General] Elite49:
Yep replacement battery all the way!

i have Samsung galaxy Ace s5830M

my problem is with 3g internet

after i subscribe with 3g i face a problem that's my phone cant get the 3g it only show 2g internet with slow speed show only letter E instead of 3G or H

the setting for 3g subscription 100% right

the 2g mode setting is unchecked

my place is covered with 3g network

i tried to put my SIM card on another identical phone Samsung galaxy ace and the other phone is working very good with 3g coverage showing H on the status bar while my phone only show E

i tried by reinstalling the software and the problem still exist

i tried by entering *#*#4636#*#* and change the setting to Wcdma proffered i got the same result

and when i changed the setting to Wcdma only i got no signal, no connection

i tried to connect with the network operator telling me that there is no problem with connection the problem is in the phone

any one can help me to fix this problem
[Networking] Klocek94:
Not in this topic I had written. But as I wrote something that could help it - maybe you should do factory reset ??
[Networking] AllInTheKnowledge:
Region?

Did you obtain the working handset from the same nation as the handset with the problem?

Which nation are you trying to connect from?
[Networking] shakk05:
i had the same problem.
[Networking] m-graphique:
me too, it's very slow, so slow on my galaxy ace, but on my galaxy S2 it's good !!

why !! :(
[Networking] ProGTXjay:
Me too i have same . I thought this is unit issue
[Networking] ProGTXjay:
guys i need bootloader for 5830M any one have bootloader for it? mo model is 5830M and currently running 5830i firmware i have 3g problem hope to fixed this if i got bootloader for 5830M i want to try flashing 5830M firmware but i cant find bootloader for it. help guys
[Networking] El_Dark:
I'm having the same issue but, for what it seems, it should be a config file... try posting the question in the Ace-i's forum.. at least it's the same family model as the Ace-M (which I also own).

Maybe it has to do with CSC...
[Networking] ProGTXjay:
already post question but no one answered it
[Networking] El_Dark:
In case anyone is facing this issue, I resolved it by flashing an S5830C's NVRAM, it has to do with the NVRAM which contains the actual baseband (800/900/1800/1900 etc..), you can find it in the Bootloader package:

HERE
[Networking] ProGTXjay:
thanks i will try this after yo reply. what is nvram? i will flash that file via odi

i will flash the file you give why it is not in .tar? i will flash that in recovery? the 3 files? csc? Pda? boot?
[Networking] El_Dark:
Hi, the file is in 7z because it's a whole firmware, but to fix the 3g issue in a S5830C/M you must use ONLY the Bootloader part of the flash, you'll know it because the tar part corresponding to it, has a file inside named like "HEDGE_NVRAM" and something else :silly: make sure to use the PIT corresponding to the cooperve, which you can find in the tutorial by [MENTION=3531642]feetsonfire[/MENTION] about how to recover from a brick.

Try first with Odin V3 1.84 if it doesn't work, try it with Odin V3 3.07.

There is no need for doing anything else! No recovery nor anything else related to it, just what I exposed in my post!
[Networking] ProGTXjay:
so you mean i flashed that bootloader only with pit file? no need csc,modem and pda?
[Networking] El_Dark:
No need... Unless you want to do a factory reset lol :cyclops:

Im not anyone to broke your expectatives, but making the instalation run, could be done in a few seconds with dxisda's kitchen...Many other people got what you just have got, as the stock rom was shown to download. So I think there has been no real progress :(:(

Sorry if I remain a bit skeptical about your project, but I think it is being taken reluctantly. Too many promises to too few facts.

Finally, I ask you, Thatgrass, not misunderstand my words, as they are not intended to be an offensive, but constructive.

I think it'll have a lot languages, but okay, I'll see what I can do !
