Ehee, asa e, inainte multe aveau, acum ar fi primul din linia Galaxy care are :)

Dar se poate schimba culoare ledului (culori diferite pentru SMS, missed call) ? Sau de exemplu aplicatiile care au la setari LED notifications cu optiunea de ati alege culoarea (de ex Whatsup, Handcent SMS) functioneaza ok ?

Can you try and make the phone lag. On my S2...if I have all the screens with widgets...the pinch to zoom out lags a bit. Could you see if the S3 will slow down at all by placing widgets (as many as you can) on all the screens while playing the music?
[Galaxy S III General] ekjl:
Hey Vickytoria,

You acknowledged everyone's post except mine.

"Can you shed some light on the storage? Are there separate partition for apps and user storage? On the S2 they made it so we only get 2 gb of app data and 11 gb of user storage. We don't get to use all the 16 gb the way we want.

I wish the s3 gets rid of the stupid limited partition. "

It's VERY VERY simple to find out. Just go into options and the storage menu.

Don't be like the rest of the reviewers who miss such simple details in their "extensive" reviews *cough*phonearena*cough*
[Galaxy S III General] :
hmm, so it doesn't give snarky replies like Siri.

What would be interesting is whether it can do basic functions like taking dictation for email / sms properly. how good is it finding facts like:

height of Eiffel tower?

when was Hitler born?

capital of Turkey?

how far is the Earth from the Sun?

what is the longest common word?

What is a man-made object visible from the moon?

cheers for the video!

[Q] SIM card size (for US / T-Mobile)?

Hi,

Anyone have an idea what the Galaxy S3's SIM card size is for the GSM U.S. networks of AT&T or T-Mobile?

I want to buy an international/unlocked S3 when it comes out (the next 2 weeks, or so) and then get a pre-paid SIM card from 3rd party service provider ("Straight Talk"). They offer two different SIM card sizes: "Standard SIM" (larger), or "Micro SIM" (rather tiny)... which probably also depends on the network that you want to use. I want to use T-Mobile's U.S. network, BTW.

Would love to get SIM card (prepaid) and phone on the same day, but I have no clue what the size the SIM card is...

So... does anyone "out there" have any experience with one of the previous Galaxy phones (e.g. the GNexus) on T-Mobile (USA), and can tell me about the SIM card size??

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] :
They actually did have it before 4S.

[Galaxy S III General] faddys123:

Victoria can you show the music buttons on the lockscreen please ?
[Galaxy S III General] skanj:
Im pretty definite it uses micro sim
[Galaxy S III General] XDA mark:
It's micro-sim yes, confirmed by multiple big phone websites.

Thank you for the videos and information Victoria (if I am not mistaken), mersi mult ;) I would have one more question for you, all though this will be more a personal opinion of yours than a fact.

How is the build quality of the phone? Does it feel (to) light? Does it look like a "high-class" phone, or cheap? And that home button: when you click it, is it a good feeling or a cheap feeling? Does it make a good sound when you click?

Overall, does this phone feel well build or not?

Thanks :) Btw, vezi cum toti baieti sunt inebuniti dupa tine? :))) Incet incet afla lumea ca femeile din Romania sunt faine :p
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
of course it is micro sim :)
[Galaxy S III General] SiNJiN76:
It didn't talk back to you like Siri...and I believe it uses the same 'Voice Actions' as Google's Voice Search function. Now, there is no predefined words or phrases that you need to learn...like Siri.
[Galaxy S III General] ph00ny:
Are you talking about vlingo that came with Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Note?

It did talk back
[Galaxy S III General] Jimieo:
Hopefully Sprint's version of the S3 will be a "world phone" with a sim slot. That would come in handy for me. :)
[Galaxy S III General] vickytoria:
Buna :)

Telefonul este foarte usor si chiar daca e facut din plastic, se observa ca e de calitate, nu pare plastic la atingere.

[Galaxy S III General] Gnarfsan:
If you have an ordinary SIM card and need a micro SIM instead, just go to you local phone shop and get them to cut it out for you. I had mine converted that way and it worked perfectly. I currently use my converted micro SIM with an adaptor in a normal SIM slot too. If you can't get to a phone shop, just find instructions on Google and do it your self. The chip area is the same size on both types. It's the plastic around it that makes the difference.

[Galaxy S III General] Wirelessgirl:
I don't know how much it cost to buy sim cards in other countries. But Rogers sells the micro sim or regular sim for only $10 + taxessssss. I rather buy a micro sim than to try and cut my regular sim. You could cut yourself by accident. It's best to play it safe and buy a micro sim. You can buy a micro sim adaptor if you still have phones that uses a regular sim. If you don't have a cellphone shop that sells them, Ebay does.
[Galaxy S III General] Deusdies:
In Serbia, SIMs are free. Well not free - you have to pay 200 RSD (about $3), but you also get 400 RSD of credit with it. Also most newer SIMs here come with a slightly cut part where the microSIM edge should be, so theoretically you could just pop it. I haven't tried that yet though.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
What for? Beats is just a software EQ, and not even a good one at that. PowerAMP has much more features if you're looking for a software EQ for your music.

Or you can just buy a better set of headphones, then install a custom kernel and enable the high performance audio mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
No beats is not just software... this mod has lib audio files and bin files... I've used it on my epic and it sounded quite a bit better. Clearer... I have the full deal on my laptop and it blows away my phone with a software EQ.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drdrewdown:
lol @ this thread labeled [MOD] and then see it's a question.. wow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] io53:
Beats on phones is just software. Beats on laptops on the other hand has some hardware mods.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Gotcha ;). That explains some things... but i mean i could definetly tell some difference when i had it on my epic.. things cleared up. Although it could have been mostly placebo. Anyways back on topic... i just tried the samsung version and the original none of which booted... it went to the android is upgrading and then wouldn't finish... just restored my backup and all is fine again. SO nope.. cant use it :(.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] babymatteo:
DSP Manager > BEATS imo. And works with not just your music app but also with everything else that uses audio.

IE: Pandora, iHeart Radio, Video player, etc...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] earlyberd:
Nope.

Beats is the software equalizer. A shielded headphone jack and isolated circuitry are things you can find in any good desktop or laptop sound card, and the fact that they didn't exist in prior HP laptops means HP just has a history of terrible design.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Equalizer > DSP.... but i use both.. DSP for the compression and Equalizer for EQ :). I definetly miss my voodoo sound and EQ... but i guess this will do... just doesnt sound the same :( at least through my speakers.. headphones wise it sounds similar.

I was, not sure about OP. Had to brick it to downgrade hboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] kdub2000:
Well, couple things. First is I took the phone to my work and plugged it in there. Maybe the power at my house wasnt enough to brick. Had all sorts of surge protectors on the outlets. Then I pulled it just before the updating progress bar came on. Waiting for the bar was probably my downfall as I have a good SD card. 1.13 is loading as we speak. Woot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Meanee:
I asked the same question about SD card, but SD card is not a factor here. The bootloader file is copied over to the phone before flashing process starts, so even if you put a slower card, it won't matter.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girevik:
Hello everyone,

I'm new to Android development. I've written my first little "get my feet wet" ap and am looking to expand on it. One thing I would like to do it give the user more options of things they can configure and I'm wondering about the best way to store that information.

At what point does it become worthwhile to start using mySQL vs just using string data in the prefrences? Or is there another option I've missed (maybe an xml file, but I'm not sure where that would be stored?).

In my case, I'm thinking I have fewer than 100 instances of an object (or objects) that would have 3 or 4 properties associated with them.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Use the SharedPreferences class, is the easiest way to achieve your goal (BTW, SharedPreferences generate a xml file to storing your preferences).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girevik:
SharedPrefrences is what I used for my basic version, but my understanding is that it allows for name-value pairs right? That works well when you have a predetermined set of prefrences, but what if it's more fluid?

Say I want to allow the user to configure his widgits, and each widget has a number of properties - say "color", "number", and "size". Maybe one user will configure 3 widgets and another user might configure 25.

I can think of a couple of different ways to parse this out into name-value pairs, but is that the best way?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Yep... for me that is the best way. For each user you can put the values using someting like this:

UserName+WidgetID+"PreferenceName"

And thats all... the preferences will be unique for each case, without parsing and 0 errors :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Girevik:
Ok, cool. That's one of the options I had considered but didn't know if that would be the most efficient. Of course I'd also have to have a list of all the "Widget ID's" stored in a preference to loop through as well.

I assume the maximum amount of data that can be stored in one prefrence is just whatever the Java max string length is...is that correct?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Yes, you're right :)

Warranty = training people (service center) on the maintenance of that Model. Why would Samsung spend money in training service personnel in the US if it does not even sell the model.

International warranty is something that Samsung never honors on its phone. If you bought the phone with international warranty it means either the warranty is provided by a third party or you have been cheated by the seller

Hi!

I have my Xperia S for about 3 months now (12w07, currently on FW .73), and I am 100% on original firmware, never rooted or flashed, never installed "pirated" software.

The problem:

My number is out of reach. Although the phone operates COMPLETELY normally (even receiving e-mail via wifi works, programs run smoothly), although the signal bars show FULL signal strength, signal reception & transmition do not work at all. When being called, it reacts EXACTLY as if I was in a NO signal area (the operator says unreachable, not switched off). This will continue until I restart the phone, otherwise the signal never comes back! Today, which was the second time that this happened to me, I was of-network for approximately 4+ hours! Darn!

Anyone else experienced this?

FYI, my SIM is an original MicroSIM, not a cut one...
