Yeah, but I haven't tested it yet if it is unlocked or not. I do not have any other SIM from a different network. Haha. As long as the stickers are intact, I guess I won't be having any problem. :D

What are the DOS and DON'TS of Charging/Using the battery for SGS3, ill give one.

Don't ever, ever never ever discharge your battery to 0% and you didn't charge it immediately. I just read it on other forum, it may cause some memory thingy.

What else? You have one? Post some :)

*side question: should i worry to have a virus via Transfer File PC to SGS3?

I've seen red, i don't like it because dust are very noticeable.

I've seen one in SM Fairview.

In SM Fairview it's about 30k - 31k, and they keep saying its "LIMITED STOCK", i don't what are they saying but i don't believe it. And i choose the Pebble White :P

Edit: Prices 30k - 31k are with Samsung Warranty, without warranty is 24k - 25k
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
1.) There is no Pebble White, it's Pebble Blue and Marble White.

2.) For batteries, it is best to charge it up to 95% only. You will be amazed how the battery life will increase when you do this.
[Galaxy S III General] jayveever09:
To 95%? Really?
[Galaxy S III General] d3adp3ople:
1.) Sorry my bad, it's just i'm so amaze that i have an SGS3 :P

2.) 95% why? Comment about average charging time and overcharge (when you sleep you let it charge until you wake up) good or bad?
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Yup, you read that right, 95%. I read it somewhere in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179809&page=866 . There's a specific post there with a link to the explanation how the electrons in Li-Ion batteries work. I questioned it at first and when I tried it I did notice the difference but I still don't have numbers to prove it.

Regarding overcharge, it is generally bad for the battery even though the electronics inside it are designed to stop charging when it is 100%.
[Galaxy S III General] jayveever09:
Okay... if you say so... hehehe...

Hi S3 People!

It's been a while since I came back to XDA-Dev(been on the BB for a few years now) since my WM years. Finally took the plunge and got myself an S3! And it's awesome.

Scanned through all the posts here and noticed nobody posted any Outlook sync problems. Anyone experience this? Read in other threads and forums that Outlook sync(contacts, calendars, etc.) is the "weakness" of Android and that Google wants us Android users to stop using Outlook, which is a bit too "conspiracy theory" for me(although I'm starting to believe it haha).

Care to share how you sync your Outlook Contacts and Calendars here? TIA :D

Help

Guys pahelp naman dko maroot yung unit ko. Dati rooted na to then inupdate ko sa jb leak I9300XXDLI5, taz after nun dko na ma root. Sa odin sabi "pass" naman daw pero after reboot wala namang ngyari.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
what makes u think you are not rooted?

NOTE: please use english language sir. :)
[Galaxy S III General] iamrandel:
Aww. Sorry,thanks. i downloaded triangle away through my laptop and have it transfered in my gs3's internal storage. Then installed it. Yeah its there installed but It says "superuser access is needed, but could not be acquired. Are you rooted and did give you permission?"
[Galaxy S III General] jcval13:
Hey guys I can't seem to change the lockscreen on my s3. Any fix?

Sent from my GT-I9300
[Galaxy S III General] jbluzb:
I think you have to reinstall triangle away. For super user to run again.

---------- Post added at 07:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 AM ----------

Go to settings-security-lock screen
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
or u still havent got cw and su installed. how did u root ur phone? i dont want to use the triangle away due to its risks. its not like the jig where u reset counters no risks involve.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Unfortunately the jig will not reset counters on the sgs3 and only get you to download mode.

So we really have no other choice for resetting counters.
[Galaxy S III General] iamrandel:
Yup. There is no su and cw yet. I just followed the steps i saw somewhere in xda: first download the odin and cw.. then put into download mode then flash through odin wit cw..
[Galaxy S III General] android.francis:
What is it that you are flashing to get ROOT? Go to Android Development and look for Chainfire's CF-ROOT. Download the newest version (6.4 i think) and flash it via Odin under PDA. Kaboom! Problem solved.

I've been using Triangle Away to reset my counters each time I flash CF-Root and no issues. CF just has that aura when he gives warnings to his creations but TA is very much safe at least on my end.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
??? What does that suppose to mean?
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
If you flashed a custom rom from stock you will not get root unless you flash with cf root first as francis said.

Stock >cf root >custom rom/kernel.
[Galaxy S III General] jbluzb:
I also have used triangle away twice and have not experience any problems. The important thing is you have over 50% battery when flashing any mods.
[Galaxy S III General] android.francis:
I may regret buying this phone. Not only is Sammy releasing a LTE version with 2GB RAM (still Quad-core and not that LTE version currently out in the US), rumor has it that they'll release S4 next February.
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
i bought my s2 last december then bought s3 las july. but i dont regret they are both awesome phones.

if u will have that feeling of regret just becoz the manufacturer releases series with short gapsnin between. you might end up waiting and having no phone at all. indulge my friend and savor the goodness. change is inevitible.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
That's the thing with business. It's a major advantage for Sammy but a BIG DISADVANTAGE on the consumers. They easily degrade the price of previous phones by releasing new ones. This is exactly the reason why I sold my S2 so as soon as the S4 releases, I can sell my S3 at a reasonable price since I just bought this a week ago.. so warranty's still fresh by February.

Have you seen the rumoured S4 photos? Darn, it's like a combo of S2 and S3 ·_·
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Couldn't agree more. It's just the way it is with technology. People usually ask if they should "buy now" or "wait for the updated version" but the wiser choice is the former. You will end up with nothing if you keep on waiting for better technology because unfortunately/fortunately "change is inevitable".
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I don't get why someone would regret getting this phone. When you bought this phone you looked at the features and decided to part with your hard earned cash. So it was an informed decision on the buyer's part. In the tech world new products will always come out 6 months or less from the previous model.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
There are just people that want to always be on the "cutting edge" of technology and knowing the news that there will be a newer series of their phone makes them regret.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I used to think that way. For the past two years I've jumped between 11 android phones and 2 iPhones. I realized though that the moment we hit ICS, the platform is already quite mature and an upgrade beyond it would not be as substantial.

Since 2.1 to 2.3 there were major changes and there was a marked difference in performance, however now it is in a standstill. Even the galaxy s3 is not that different from the s2, based on personal experience.

I believe that tech advances substantially every 2 years and becomes obsolete every 5 to 8 years. If you read about tech history and observe from the evolution of tech this is usually the case.

Of course having the latest is always great, though after getting this phone I'm tired of keeping up and I think I'll settle with this for a year of two. I actually calculated how much money I've spent trying to keep up and I was shocked when I found out that the total money I've lost spent upgrading and jumping from unit to unit would be able to pay for an new mid range mac book air.

In the end, to each his own. Cheers! :)
[Galaxy S III General] jcval13:
And? I think I tried every possible way to change the lockscreen wall and I still get the same stock wallpaper.
[Galaxy S III General] android.francis:
Are these new pics? I saw one earlier. Post it to twitter for me to check please? ;)

It's not the S4 that kinda bothers me. It's the S3 with 2GB RAM variant. LTE does not bother me since that is network dependent and was discussed to death several posts back.. lol!

From S1, I skipped S2 and went to S3 since the I felt the S2 did not offer me enough upgrade for me to buy it.

Like I said, I "may" regret buying my S3 but what I do know is that I'll skip the S4 and buy the S5 :)

I do know one person who regrets having me buy this phone. MY WIFE. She already thinks I am having an affair with ODIN since I spend too much hours flashing and checking out ROM variants :p
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Right. To each his own. I'm not too much familiar with the technological advancement of cellphones but for computer video cards it's actually recommended to upgraded two generations up from you current card. It may be applicable with cellphones, or not. I'm not really into cellphones, I just needed this S3 upgrade because my previous phone (iPhone 3G) was crippling slow!
[Galaxy S III General] Igtenoz:
Samsung confirmed on Twitter that the new S4 leak is a fake. Also IMHO right now the Galaxy S2 is still pretty competent. The only reason I upgraded to the S3 is so that I could give the S2 to my wife.

BTW, does any pinoy here have the aluminum back cover for the S3? Where is it available here in the Philippines?
[Galaxy S III General] AkodoToturi:
try to check sulit.com or in greenbelt 1 or 5 i think. has a store that sells a bunch of cases. but way way too pricy. There is a vapdase akuminum casing there that sells for 2500 but the cheapest i saw for the same item is about 1800. park square 1 has a store with the largest collection of capdase. try megamall cyberzone.
[Galaxy S III General] rand0m_insanity:
I use my phone to sync with my office email with no problems whatsoever. I'm running stock with a few mods. I was actually surprised that everything syncs well such as calendar, contacts, etc. It is actually a bit better than HTC's email client from Sense 2/3. I did have some issues with it back then.

With regard to Outlook not being supported much, I guess that would be a bit true if you are using Android's AOSP email app. A lot of incompatibilities! However, there are a lot of third party apps that can compensate for it. So far, the best one I tried is Moxier Mail and Kaiten.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Careful with the aluminum back cover, my friend has one and it degrades cell and wifi signal. Very nice looking though.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
And will even block NFC signals.
[Galaxy S III General] android.francis:
Hey guys - I will purchase a Spigen Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Color Series (Reventon Yellow) and a Spigen Screen Protector GLAS Premium Tempered glass series from Applewerkz this end of month since both are currently out of stock.

If someone here uses the same, please post your comments/reviews to guide me before I pay them up. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] Injuredthumb:
I'll try both apps (Moxier Mail and Kaiten) and see what suites me. Thanks!:good:
[Galaxy S III General] biosong:
im using moxier and im good with it.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
I don't have both but am following discussion threads regarding them. The Neo Hybrid case has problems with sensitivity of the volume and power buttons when installed. The GLAS screen protector has problems with touch sensitivity of the screen and it is advised to stay away from it, for the moment, until they fix the problem.
[Galaxy S III General] gboydroid:
you can view some reviews on spigen hybrid case on youtbe. love the case but stay away from screen protector since it can affect touch sensitivity in our devices.

me purchasing 1 this october..weeeee
[Galaxy S III General] android.francis:
I guess I'll be the guinea pig for our thread then since being the impatient in me, I ordered through Spigen' s authorized reseller in HK for both. I'll keep everyone posted.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
So what can you say about the volume and power buttons when the neo hybrid is installed? Where'd you get your case?

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:32 PM ----------

I thought you were buying at Applewerkz?
[Galaxy S III General] gboydroid:
still getting 1 this october .. my wife will buy it for me in aus.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-...ccessories&hash=item35bf151295#ht_5007wt_1039
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Oh ok. Goodluck with the case.
[Galaxy S III General] PacketJ:
Lol let me try that 95% thingy if it will work
[Galaxy S III General] android.francis:
I was suppose to buy at applewerkz but the HK reseller has stock on hand. Purchased via PayPal. Like I said, the impatient of me won hehe
[Galaxy S III General] Igtenoz:
Thanks for the heads up. Also has anyone noticed the death grip on the S3? If you grip the top half of the phone (where the camera is) the wifi signal drops dramatically.

Anyway, I wanted some kind of protection for my S3 but I don't want to risk lowering the signal (and worsening the battery life) by using the aluminum back. Now I'll have to do more case-searching.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Do not quote me on that because as I've said I read that in the link I've posted. The effect may be minimal at best.

Been there, done that :)

Why would an aluminum case worsen battery life?
[Galaxy S III General] AkodoToturi:
cases cases cases

im still looking for a good case and a new screen protector.

im currently using ZAGG, but i think its creating somesort of acidity or rust at the Samsung logo at the back cover. its buggging me. and it stores a lot of dust + finger print + it absorbs the color of the phone
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
The otterbox commuter is quite popular and its good looking too
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I agree. Then Otterbox Commuter gives ample protection and makes the phone have a nice grip. It also doesn't look that ugly. I have a white and gray Commuter with my marble white s3.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Personally I think the commuter makes the sgs3 look less girly and that can't be a bad thing. Probably has the best protection aside from the defender. May interfere with nfc, but who really makes use of that anyways.
[Galaxy S III General] AkodoToturi:
ill consider otter box. its too bulky for me. do you guys think i should get rid of zagg?

its annoying to have fingerprints and the acidity?rust? on the Samsung logo.

but it does have advantages.
[Galaxy S III General] Igtenoz:
Because, the poorer the signal the more the radio/antenna consumes battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Ahhh yeah, missed that.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I used to like zagg but I don't like the way they apply it. And also the texture reminds me of orange peel. The feedback on my fingertips annoys me.
[Galaxy S III General] AkodoToturi:
yeah... exactly why I want it off. but my P1500 + 400(cause i changed phones) :(

better yo throw it now than to regret in the future. hehehe...

[Galaxy S III General] downshifter:
Hi guys, I have been following this thread for a few days now and learned a lot by reading this thread. I'm using SGS3 16gb from Globe. The phone is great and even greater with custom roms.

Just want to share, I tried SuperNexus build2 rom by Faryaab and it was very smooth, fast and stable but it still has wifi tethering issue though. build3 will be released this weekend hope the issue is fixed.

Right now, i'm using the jellybean leak XXDLI8. so far the fw is very good especially battery life is better but I removed the bloatwares to reduce the system lag. only issue i encountered so far is the transparency issue. it's kind of distracting when i switched to a different screen. hope the official jellybean for SGS3 will be released soon. have a great day everyone.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
I think the leaks have stopped rolling out and some UK carrier has rolled out jb for the lte version, so the official jb release might just come before the first week of October.

Edit : my bad. It was samsung that rolled out the kernel sources for the UK lte version.
[Galaxy S III General] bordikun:
question about Fast Dormancy on Globe Telecom. Does Globe support it? anyone have some sources?
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
Yes it supports. I have talked to the customer service and I also have a friend working in globe,he also told me it does

Capt. Chaitanya Patel
[Galaxy S III General] bordikun:
Is that 100% sure sir? Did you test disabling FD and try to compare the battery consumption when FD is enabled?
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Sorry but I really don't understand you. You ask a question, then you're given an answer and then you question that answer afterwards. Seriously???

If you'd do a search fast dormancy has been discussed in this thread exhaustively. And also there are many threads in xda discussing this too.
[Galaxy S III General] Adbot:
Hello Gents,

Globe S3 user here from Globe. Anyone tried installing custom roms or OTA leaked JB firmwares from Samobile? I've been wanting to try OTA leaked XXDLI8 but not sure if it will work given that my phone is locked on Globe network.

Currently using stock rom but already rooted.

Baseband: DXLH1

Build no.: XXBLH1

Thanks
[Galaxy S III General] bordikun:
I'm not asking about what is fast dormancy. I'm asking about Globe Telecom If they support it. My follow-up question was just me making sure. People sometime say YES and NO without really making sure of it.
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
Yes I know what you were asking and if you'd care to search this thread it has been answered many many times.
[Galaxy S III General] bordikun:
Answered many times? Seriously??? I think you're the one who needs to be searching. It was only answered once by this THREAD. And the one who answered that was the one who also answered me here. Do you think that would convince me by knowing 1 person told me that? That's why I asked him if his 100% sure :eek:

Let me remind you again I'm not asking WHAT is Fast Dormancy(which you mean that been answered many times?). I'm asking about Globe Telecom if they support it. Hope you understand this time -.-
[Galaxy S III General] kanin_rider:
Then go straight to Globe telecom or call them and ask them yourself.. :banghead:
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
Yeah Globe supports fast dormancy :)

But it's a good culprit for insane battery drain though xD
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I know it's about Globe Telecom supporting fast dormancy. Actually it was answered before more than twice. I know because I answered your exact question in this thread before. You didn't search well.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Fast dormancy is enabled. It is network controlled. It takes 20 seconds t0 from the to t5. Depending on how you surf, it can or cannot be a battery saver.

There are many discussions of this in this subforum, the sgs2, the hox, the note, and many other subforums with a Pinoy thread.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
People.. take a chill pill ●_●

you guys here are so aggressive
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
It's not being aggressive. People should search before they ask questions. I was told to do the same thing when I first posted in this thread and I learned to search before asking so as not to clutter the thread.
[Galaxy S III General] bordikun:
^zzzzz do you think I didn't search? what did I just told you that only "one" thread appear and the one who answered there was the one who answered me here. You don't even understand my question yet you're referring me to threads about Fast Dormancy, that's not even my question. Get your little brain all sorted out bro.
[Galaxy S III General] wtfshouldidonow:
I don't normally care about people like you, but you're too much. If you would READ previous posts from previous pages, AND I MEAN READ ALL OF THEM, you would see that around 5 people have already been discussing THE EXACT SAME THING that you're fussing about right now. So shut up, grow up, and READ, and most imprtantly, BE POLITE. This is a forum, not your ordinary street bar.
[Galaxy S III General] bordikun:
so now i'm the one who needs to be polite? I was just asking a question until someone just throw a "search that search this" if they don't know the answer just sit and read.
[Galaxy S III General] saywhatt:
EVERYONE DROP IT BEFORE A MOD CLOSES THIS THREAD :)

We understand he's being a "nag" with repeated questions but there is no need to make a big fuss about it, what we need (experienced users) to do is to GUIDE him.
[Galaxy S III General] PacketJ:
Yeah i remember this guy answering my question whether we have fast dormancy here in ph or not lol, so it was discussed before in this thread
[Galaxy S III General] prinzhernan:
I understood his question perfectly. His question was if globe implements fast dormancy and he was asking for proof. As I've said in my previous replies, this was discussed in this thread and in the galaxy s2 thread.

So please, search again, the answer is already there.
[Galaxy S III General] AkodoToturi:
guys guys

remember the forum rules. this thread was even visited by a moderator. reminding us that we are not in our turf.

not unless you guys want our miniture community thread deleted or locked.

anyway, i believe i posted an answer to the FD along with a voodoo rc screenshot.

in addition, reading threads here about saving battery life made me realize 1 thing. i bought the best and the most powerful smartphone to date. moding my phone to save battery(reducing voltage, disabling this and that) for what? a few hours? while drastically reducing performace. i am now back to stock speeds and connected to data, and still i get 16-24hrs of batterylife. now, on my opinion. its your phone, if you want batterylife go ahead and mod your phone. if you want performance, then dont.

batterylife is always based on your usage. disable your internet, delete bloatware, modify you voltage, bring extra battery. the list goes on...

but are using your phone to its potential?

batterylife vs performace vs being satisfied with what you have...
[Galaxy S III General] neil05:
Guys relax guyz! If you have misunderstandings just pm each other. Follow the rules and dont mess this forum! We are all filipino here :banghead:
[Galaxy S III General] kevindd992002:
Bordikum is really being immature here. He was told to search for the answer and he gets offended? Come on, man up! I'm not related to prinzhernan or anything but he makes a lot of sense than you do. His main point was that you were already answered and then you question that answer.
[Galaxy S III General] rab1412000:
Be careful guys this thread has been warned before.

I think everything that needs to be said has been said.

Let's move on.
[Galaxy S III General] PacketJ:
Alright moving on!

Anyone tried the latest cm10 nightly? It's so fluid and almost perfect. But the only thing that concerned me is it always drops my data connection to 2g and can't back to 3g unless the phone is restarted.
