Anyway. Have you guys ever tried the magnetic cases they sell in digital walker? They're made by lab c. It sorta looks like a moleskine notebook then the hard snap on cover has a magnet which mounts it on the leather flap. So you can use it like a bifold leather case or just on its own with the hard snap on back. I just bought one and I'm wondering if the magnet will affect signal or whatnot. Though on their website they claim that it doesn't affect signal. I wonder too if it will mess up the compass.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
That's a gigantic drawback buddy. That almost makes the rom unusable IMHO.
[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
Heh. Back on topic guys.

Anyway, anyone tried V6 supercharger script? I used it on my previous (slower) phones, I just doubt that there will be much improvement now. I'm still on stock so I don't want to do much modding I cannot easily reverse. Heheh. :p
[Galaxy S III General] kemaro30:
i have a little off topic reply mate :)

honestly i think there are no applications/games that has the power to use our phones full potential in performance.

yeah its fast but other phones are fast too when modded.

if people would say the performance costs too much drain in the battery then i would not agree with it. its just my opinion ok no offence to anyone.. im just going to sleep and my fingers brought me here :)

for me, there are no currently games or applications that really uses the power and full potential of quad core phones,

also, in my opinion its not the performance that drains our phone battery but the large screen it has, the larger the screen the larger energy needed to provide colors.

i would also avoid modding my phone but i did, not because its battery drains so fast but just to taste the Jelly Bean before it officially comes out :)

i also wish that in the near future, developers would show applications and games that can really give us what the quad core needs to show, i think devs would never create such powerful phones if they wont support the applications/games that can show its potential :)

again, just an off topic post before i sleep :)
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Ah! You want a game that will use the potential of the whole? Try babel rising 3d. And then go to the settings and turn the graphics to the highest. On my gnex and s2 it used to stutter once in a while. On the s3 it's butter smooth! :)
[Galaxy S III General] PacketJ:
Big time. The sole reason why I'm back with sammy.

I tried it once. Can't really tell the difference, because our phone is amazingly fast even at stock.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
That's probably more a function of the better Mali chip than the quad core cpu.
[Galaxy S III General] xenoyosh:
That's a possibility. After all, the compass relies on the earth's natural magnetism and it is affected by magnetic interference in a room. A magnet that close to the unit is sure to fool the magnetometer.
[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
I thought so. However, I would like to eliminate the launcher redraws that occassionaly happen, as well as maximize multi-tasking. Id give it a go later as I realized there was a way to reverse it easily. :p
[Galaxy S III General] jbluzb:
I also stop installing mods for power saving. I thought to myself, why get a super expensive phone when you will not use its full potential.

My solution - - buy an extra battery :P
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
The best thing I ever did was to buy an extra battery and dock battery charger. It allows you to just enjoy the phone and all its features without worrying about battery life. Did it for my s2, gnex and now the s3.
[Galaxy S III General] Igtenoz:
+1 on Babel Rising 3D. A friend of mine who plays it on the Samsung Galaxy Note says that it drains his battery even while it's plugged in. @_@
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Yeah it's the only game that seems to make my phone hit 45 degrees. I guess it's because of the scale of the terrain and the amount of sprites it has to whip out.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Those leaks will work, don't worry about it. Just follow the instructions and flash. The only thing that's different if a phone comes from Globe is that you can only use a Globe sim. :)
[Galaxy S III General] Adbot:
Ah thanks..that's good to know. So just flash the rom via Odin? Will that do it?

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Yes but please follow the instructions on the specific rom threads. :) Usually if you follow the instructions well there will be no problems encountered. Have fun!
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Depends on the rom some are cwm flashable some are odin pushed and some have both.

Just be sure to read and pick the appropriate method for the said rom.

I just wish internet service/coverage would become better after Globe's upgrade. #wishful thinking

PS: I was able to reach 1.11 MB/s a few days back while downloading a ROM here in XDA. :angel:
[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
My thoughts exactly. Do you know where I could get a reasonably priced one? Wity my previous phone, I got Mugen branded ones. For this, maybe Id opt for original sammy batts.
[Galaxy S III General] jbluzb:
The original sammy battery cost P990 at digital walker. I was not able to find any battery dock for the galaxy s3 :(
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
I'm hoping about this too. I'd be disappointed if this is another marketing ploy.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I got mine from game extreme in Glorietta near the hard Rock entrance and Sony Ericsson shop for 1800. Set, battery and dock charger. I also saw in 5th Ave in park Square for the same price.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Anymore additional info regarding packet data not working until restart?
[Galaxy S III General] acid28:
HI Guys, I'm new in this forum. how can I root my phone but only using stock firmware? is that possibe?
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Yes, use CF root. Search for it in this forum (having a hard time posting links using tapatalk).
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I have a feeling it's server side not hardware. Because my friend has an s3 on smart and it doesn't stall data. I have the same issue as yours but the solution is just to restart.

Well, it might be good for a while, but a few years later, they'd forget it and not upgrade any further. Vicious cycle. :(

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:19 AM ----------

I did experience that a few times. I don't restart however. I just toggle airplane mode several times and it connects after a few toggles. I think it is more likely caused by the network than the phone. I noticed that when that happens, upon successfully connecting, speeds are reaaaaally slow. As in it couldn't even load the google page. Must be congestion or something.

[Galaxy S III General] AkodoToturi:
the unschratchable ZAGG just had a scratch...

hahaha

and i was just wiping it...

i hate this shield... the shield at the glass slides.

the back part does not hold. attracts fingerprints, dust.

i cant use silicone/tpu cases since it might peel off...

so frustrating... and the best part... you cant put it in your pants. you cant use any cloth or microfiber.

so? you cant use any case?

the screen thats supposedly scratch proof. scratched when i wiped it?

grrrrrr!!!
[Galaxy S III General] ronaldjanr13:
haha thats how it is..its main purpose was not to scratch your phone but the protector itself is scratchable..im also deceived by their adds

and now im finding one screen protector replacement at the moment. and to the part where you cant put a case on your phone thats for you to decide but be very careful on to how you place the phone because yes they peel..i replaced zagg once due to it peels.. thats additional 400php sad hahaha oh well
[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
I thought they have some sort of lifetime warranty? Good thing I didn't get that on my phones. Crap costs a lot, and then that? Haha
[Galaxy S III General] ronaldjanr13:
Yes they said its lifetime but the 200 (front) 200 ( back ) is for installation and shipping fees
[Galaxy S III General] AkodoToturi:
i had my phone replaced. this is the second ZAGG i had the installed(total zagg damage 1900.. OUCH!!). and it peels... i expect more for a 1500 shield. i had cheap 100php matte screenshield installed in my galaxy mini. and its over a year old. and that did not disappoint me.

yup. there is a lifetime warranty. meaning for 200php per piece. they will change your shield.

hahaha

i must commend them for the very well made advertisment.

that or im just dumb

You have notifications turned off. You can turn them back on in the quick settings panel in the notification screen.

Aw snap! Its just notifications. Thanks for the response!

My best bet is that you turned off your Notification under the pull down menu. :angel:

Btw, what ROM are you using?
[Galaxy S III General] civarch:
Yup, i just accidentally turned off the notifications. Im using stock rom. I dont have any plans rooting my phone. But soon after a year maybe after warranty expires. Just got into hs customization thats why it looks like rooted. :)

[Galaxy S III General] kemaro30:
hey guys i got a question.. does your S3's always got a low signal?

i tried to use a sun cellular sim(i successfully unlocked my globe plan S3 :D) which in my nokia phone always got a full signal but in my S3 it only got 1 and most of the times none like my globe sim so i think the prob is the phone :(
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Actually my s3 has really great signal. Weird. How about wih globe, does it have good signal?
[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
Did you check if what type of signal you are getting on both phones? I mean your nokia might be getting Edge or GSM signal and your S3 might be picking up 3G or UMTS? I ask because I have seen several instances that a Blackberry device could get better reception back at home compared to my HTC device. I checked that type of signal the blackberry was getting. It was Edge. I switched to the same signal and I got very similar signal strength.
[Galaxy S III General] d3adp3ople:
Heard that iPhone 5 is better than SGS3
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Wow and you're saying this in a gs3 forum. Hehe. Depends on the person and their needs. So the best phone depends on the user.

[Galaxy S III General] ronaldjanr13:
well zagg was then long ago protecting screens of devices which are not yet touch type like psp and zagg works well with those types..

and so is the back portion of our s3 it does what it was suppose to do

but its totally failed on the new devices which our touch i think,

in our case the s3..its just not for the s3 screen at least. i dont know on other devices.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
I'm on my day 3 of using invisible shield by zagg.. so far it's "ok", although there imprints i see on the screen as if it had been pressed by something sharp.

I've had zagg on my S2 and it's slowly peeling off like a banana xD lol.. it's gone yellowish

[Galaxy S III General] anthony001:
does anyone have a problem with their charger? I seem to have a problem wherein it diesnt charge or if it is its really slow and sometimes rarely if ever fast
[Galaxy S III General] dybbuk68:
probably contact issues in yout adapter. fast charging can be fixed with custom kernels like siyah
[Galaxy S III General] lee.asid:
That is just one benchmark. How about the other benchmarks?
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
If you're using stock then there must be a problem. Either that or you have so many apps open that the drain is bigger than the charge.
[Galaxy S III General] gboydroid:
mine has already broke. after 2-3 days of using it and finally it did'nt work anymore.hehehe

i read a lot of issues about micro usb cable of s3 has defects.
[Galaxy S III General] Igtenoz:
IMO sir,

Benchmarks doesn't say didly squat about a phone's performance. It's real-life smoothness that counts. Take Jelly Bean for instance, any phone running Jelly Bean will have lower benchmarks than the same phone running ICS. That doesn't mean ICS is better than JB.
[Galaxy S III General] neil05:
i have no problem with my charger. did samsung replace it?
[Galaxy S III General] kemaro30:
yeah, i put my globe sim in nokia and it has a good signal about 3 to max..

i also put a sun sim in my S3 where in my nokia that sun sim got max signal always GSM or 3G, but in my S3 only 1 and most of the time none :(

but in the office or outside my house it has signal, i always use GSM at home because its the only signal that can get atleast 1 bar.

based on that observation it really is the phone that has problem with skimming signals..

i guess we can only prove if my phone got a problem if someone here can go at my house and see if it has no signal too :D XD
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Are you sure that you've set your s3's network mode to GSM ONLY?
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I think you should send it in for repair nonetheless. If it's a hardware problem they should be to detect it in the service center. Tell them to compare signals with another phone.
[Galaxy S III General] kemaro30:
yes, as i said it is in GSM only.

i think of that too but Globe said that they can just repair or give a new unit if its inside the 7 days return warranty, its about 3 weeks now so i think they won't care about my concern :mad:
[Galaxy S III General] gboydroid:
i bought my s3 via ebay. :laugh:

pakistan yung language sa warranty card :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Easy, then have them repair it. What's wrong with having it repaired?
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Unfortunately that's the risk you take.

I suggest you just buy a new charger. It will still cost less overall than if you bought the sgs3 from a local store so you still win :)
[Galaxy S III General] kemaro30:
lol we all know what service that globe has, they will say they will repair it for a week, then after a week they will say after a month and so on and so on. until a few months, and when i got it back there's no difference haha
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
You might have better luck if you bring it to a samsung service center like the one in Greenhills.
[Galaxy S III General] gboydroid:
Im using my other usb cable from my ace.hehehe
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Do what my friend did. He asked for a certification from Globe and then brought it to a samsung repair center.
[Galaxy S III General] PacketJ:
Could have been the modem, but I guess rooting is not your option
[Galaxy S III General] kemaro30:
cool! i would do that :) i wish they won't say that its part of their system upgrades :(

:good:
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I guess you have to tell them that you compared signal between two phones and the s3 has bad signal compared to the other one. That would mean that it's not a problem with their network but with the phone.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Yup, that explains the risk you took :(

Yeah, it would be really better to let Samsung do the repairs.

Oh by the way I'm at Korea right now and am tempted to buy the local S3 here which is known to be the best version of S3 in the world because of it having a quad-core chip with LTE radio and 2GB of RAM. Anybody knows the cons of buying this?
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Not too sure but I think there would be less support for it rom wise.

I'm so bored in my house and thinking nothing, and i notice what thus GT means in Samsung Galaxy S III GT-i9300?

Any firmware update unlock version?
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
They say that the i-9305 is better than the korean s3 lte. The i–9305 is the real lte quad-core.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Yeah that's true because Korea is using a different lte band compared to LTE all over the world. So you should get the international lte one. Also, the Korean one has an antenna which you will most likely never use, which usually makes the phone thicker than the international variants.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Yup. People here don't recommend the new s3 lte though because of the possibilty of limited dev support.

got my white unlock at sm mall last 3days.

after checking no issues at all. minor is i do have black spot while in datk room but its tolerable.

one thing i noticed is the signal reception of my unit. i compared slready it with my other phone, i insert my sim in my htc (low end) and much better signal reception, i tried also it in my tab no prob also unlike my s3. same place same area same spot.

my s3 signal is unstable.. does any one experience the same issue?

do i ask for replacement since its still 7days replacement period?

thnx in advance

by the way new to xda..

do i need to put tag or signature? haha
[Galaxy S III General] aquariuzism:
Kaibigan, as long as you can received/send messages and received/make calls, signal strength should not be a problem. Especially in samsung phones, sometimes the signal displayed is incorrect.

But if you feel uncomfortable with it, then visit your seller again and have it replaced. :)

[Galaxy S III General] metalbender:
My postpaid Galaxy S III is from Globe telecom. Yeah, I got notified of the free 50 GB dropbox for 2 years but opted not to use it. Instead I bought a 32 GB Class 10 micro sd card. All pics taken by my S III's camera are stored in my micro sd card, I prefer it that way.

Regarding signal strength, my S III gets almost a full bar to full bar from Globe. Signal strength (and mobile internet speed) is area dependent though.

On the HOME SCREEN try going to MENU > SETTINGS > More Settings > Mobile Networks

I am having issues with my S3.

First S3 was fine on the first week but on the second week, it seems that it cannot hold a data connection for more than thirty minutes.

The signal indicators show strong 3G/HSPA signal but the phone doesn't have any data connection.

Had the Globe tech support guys troubleshoot and everything was right in terms of APN settings.

Did a factory reset and no luck. Globe replaced the SIM thinking it could be that, no luck.

Globe gave me a replacement S3 and same issue. And it is not just an isolated case. Happened everywhere I went today (Makati, Cubao, Ortigas).

My friend who was with me had no intermittent data issues and he is using a Galaxy S2.

Thoughts anyone?

Do your phones have black ink marks as well? When I'm in a dark room and viewing a black image or any dark video, I can see black dots. Do you think this is normal? Can this be fixed through software updates later on? Or this is purely a hardware problem?
