I ordered 10 25mm ultralight ones from nfcdog.com it came to just under £11

But having read up some more apparently the 38mm ones are easier to use as you don't have to be as accurate with them

The plan is to for one in each holder to auto launch the correct program when I insert the phone. And one by the bed to turn the phone into silent

Did an early upgrade with Orange last night, guy on the phone was very helpful, 36 a month, 1000 mins, unlimited texts and 1gb of data.

I lost my SGS1 about a month a go and my bank have replaced it for me with an SGS2! which i will sell towards the early upgrade cost and any accesories i buy.

Gonna go with the 64gb sandisk mobile ultra sd card, and some sort of pouch.

Is there anywhere i can buy an official pebble blue battery cover? I'm concerned that because i'm upgrading through Orange that it'll have an Orange logo on the back cover and all the bloatware, can anyone shed any light on if this was the case for the SG2 or other newish handsets?

Been so indecisive on wether to get the blue or white that even now i've ordered i'm starting to have second thoughts :p

Ordered mine as a free upgrade from my s2. £29 per month 2000 anyone anytime mins 5000 texts 5000 3-3 mins truly unlimited web with no throttling. Result..... been hearing a lot in last hour blue s3 is delayed. Hope not tho
[Galaxy S III General] Starchini:
adz > What network is that with?

I've had mine ordered since the 5th of May. This has been the longest wait of my life!! I'm upgrading from an iPhone 3GS to the Pebble Blue S3 - 16GB + a 32GB SD card and cover.

I hope these delay rumours are unfounded! I was praying that because it was pre-ordered it could possibly arrive on the 29th.

This is my first Android phone ever!! So I'm looking forward to getting my hand dirty and showing its capabilities off to the iSheeple in my family (and friends).
[Galaxy S III General] Isadora:
Waiting for my sim-free blue S3 from Clove (hopefully not delayed!). Not planning on getting any accessories apart from at some point a case for the beach,and maybe the wireless charging kit when it's available but that will depend on price really. Already received and activated my replacement micro sim from Three so everything is ready :p

[Galaxy S III General] NineToTheSky:
I have a One X, but I have discovered that I can't live with just the available 25GB storage. The battery isn't such an issue, but I will certainly be happier with a removable one.

The One X has had teething problems. For example I still haven't got GPS, and HTC have said to get it, I will have to send it back for repair. So I have ordered a S3, from Carphone Warehouse, to collect on the 30th. I have got a 64Gb card, and I am looking forward to the 50GB Dropbox storage; double the amount that the HTC has. I wonder what - if any - teething problems the S3 will have?

When I get the One X back, I will compare them, and keep the best.

Also, have you tried connecting your Neo V in mass storage mode or a different desktop. I have seen this kind of issue on some of the XP machines in our company.

It can be an hardware or software(drivers) issue on your PC. I would recommend you to try on a different computer and wait for all the drivers to get installed.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ulfric:
Hi,

I have been an i9003 user for a long time now. But, since I bought the phone I have been constantly having problems with it. I have taken my phone to Samsung service several times for problems such as unable to sync push notifications, GPS not working, dead display, bad lock key and recently the boot loop also known as the pseudo reset problem.

All in all, I have made around 10-12 trips to several service centers in Delhi, India. Finally to my surprise, Samsung told me that they'll not service my phone as they thought it was working fine and all those problems are actually added features on the phone.

I have also seen a good number of users on this forum constantly having such problem (especially the pseudo reset and push notification) . Therefore, I thought why not ask the i9003 users here, Can we file a lawsuit against Samsung in India for such a phone with inherent hardware problems? If yes, how can we progress with it?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] vishal24387:
surely go ahead.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] speedypoint:
I think what he meant was start a class action lawsuit.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ulfric:
Yes, I meant a class action lawsuit. I have already tried sending them letters and emails but they don't respond. Moreover, problems like pseudo reset, bad GPS and internal SD failure are signs of bad quality hardware. (causing loss of crucial data and contacts)

Plus I have suffered a lot from their bad service and poor management. This was my first high end device (at least for me) but it shattered all my hopes and I believe it is the same for a lot of users here. If all of the users with these problems come forward, it will substantiate our claims and maybe we will force Samsung to do a call back for this device. (which might also help all the people who are out of warranty and can't afford the expensive replacement of the MB)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] tamoghno:
yep go ahead . hope you have the proof of service center visits/ job sheets. If you can prove that you have to service center numerous time then you may easily win .also there is a big chance that halfway through the case Samsung will try to settle with you and will probably offer you full refund.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ulfric:
I am taking about a class action lawsuit, which will involve all the users having these issues.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Wahaha123:
count me in! my sl is faulty as well. twice been sent to the service center, due to faulty board miscommunication with int. sd and short circuit. repair time also took long (about a month and a week on my second repair) eating up my warranty dates.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ulfric:
Thanks for showing interest, but I am looking for i9003 owners in India with hardware issues and unsatisfactory service. (maybe advantageous to owners in other countries if we get a judgment in our favor)

I believe we should not settle for cheap hardware as we paid a good premium for this device. The issue of pseudo reset is happening to almost every other user and may happen all of a sudden to any user causing loss of messages, contacts and settings (also FC in many apps).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kajal_palpara:
Hell Yeah!!!

I am with you.. But How to proceed? Have u talked to any lawyer?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ivAnash:
Lawyers and all that is a mess.. Just file a complaint at the consumer forum and we'll join u on the same complaint..
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] santoshsadani009:
Yup, create a thread on http://www .consumer courtforum.in/f50/ (remove spaces) and others will follow. No need to ask any lawyer. If we succeed we all can get full refund, or even indemnity for the phone (OR maybe nothing :D).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ulfric:
One thing I know for sure is that they won't give you any refund or replacement through the service channel. Their service managers are like collection agents they'll even harass you so that they don't have to give you a refund/replacement.

I sent them a legal notice more than a week back but haven't heard back from them. It's been about three months since I am pursuing this issue. But, I am yet to file a complaint in a consumer forum.

As I said earlier a class action lawsuit will substantiate everybody's claim. I'll try and get some professional legal advice and get back to everyone of you through PM. Thanks for showing support!

Thanks for the link, is it an official consumer court discussion forum? All, I have seen is people making complaints without any follow up.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ulfric:
Update

Me and my lawyer had a long chat with Mr. Sumit, Area Service Manager at Samsung, Delhi (you can find his contact details via google). He blatantly refused receiving any letters and notice and also said that they won't be providing any refund or replacement even though it's a recurring issue. Therefore, I am proceeding with the case in the Consumer Forum.

Anybody interested in doing the same can contact me here or via PM. I have contacted a few people on the consumer court forum as suggested by santoshsadani009. (There are many many people with the same problem and Samsung is shamelessly refusing that the problem exists). I'll be glad if someone from Delhi NCR comes forward and joins me in the lawsuit.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] santoshsadani009:
If i could, i would have followed you on the consumer forum even though being from different city. But fortunately (Or unfortunately :D), I don't have the pseudo reset problem, which is the major problem for this phone. But i do have the push notification problem, and that's why I don't use my primary email with my phone and its really annoying to have to start the PC everytime to check emails.

Anyways, go ahead with the consumer forum website, i think its the best idea because i have seen companies such as nokia responding to the queries and problems on the forum.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Ulfric:
I am actually filing the case in my local consumer redressal forum. You can still support the case by providing a written statement that you face the issue. I'll attach it with my documents as a proof and will ask for proper compensation to all the affected users.

The other day i was thinking who tells when a phone timez is up. Lets say this LG phone. What time will devs be like (this is the last day for this phone, no more ROMing from my side for this phone).

Is it

when Jelly Beans comes out? or

Keylime Pie makes an entrance? or

when 512 MB RAM just doesn't cut in any more.

long story short, when does the phone actually ends his life? Or it doesn't and ppl just move on before the phone dies on them.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] candymanmike:
I think it just depends on when devs move on to a new device basically. Sometimes a new dev will emerge and sometimes not. The older a phone gets the more likely it is that no new devs will pop up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Not true at all, just look at the og g1 thread thats almost 4 years old and its still seeing plenty of new dev support. If anything the older the phone gets the cheaper it is to buy and thus support it.

Hi, I have a 8GB SD card that is formatted in a smartphone and has cluster size of 32 KB. Isn't this too big, shouldn't it be 4 KB? Can this increased cluster size increase the NAND FLASH write amplification and wear the card prematurely?

I am using it in a PC all the time, not in a smartphone any more.

P.S. I have a lot of software installed on this card and changing the cluster size would be tedious...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] captainhakan:
According to http://mashable.com/2012/05/24/apple-stylus/this article Apple applied for a stylus patent. Is this a sign of next iphone will include a stylus or what? How cool is that?

Article tells apple's stylus will be different then others as follows. Apple’s idea of the stylus, however, is slightly different from the simple styluses you usually get with tablets today. It’s an optical device that can determine (via a pressure sensor) when it’s in contact with a surface and can capture an image using a built-in camera.

Does it sound familiar to you? I think it's Sammy's turn now to sue Apple for copying GNote's Spen :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
You can't patent the stylus.

You can however patent your own specific implementation/take on it. Read the actual patent filing, Apple's optical stylus design includes THREE different sensors in the stylus, including a camera. It's designed to detect itself in 3D space and is actually very cool.

Don't be an unthinking fandroid and post rubbish like Samsung should sue Apple over a stylus.

That being said, it's interesting to see Apple now apparently acknowledging the utility of the stylus after publicly scoffing at it when they revealed their iPhone way back when.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] max-thamer:
they blew it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Alexanderbooth:
Also samsung didn't create the stylus in the note, wacom did.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] turshija:
They wont be putting stylus in iPhone or iPad, they did it just to limit Samsung if they decide to make new and better stylus for newer phones/tablets... Now they won't be able to put gyroscope or camera into it, because its Apple's patent ... Apple is becoming serious patent troll ...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zen0s:
Lol apple.... I'll never buy apple products again, fking hypocrites. I'm soooooo happy with android and my galaxy note!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sujal:
I like Apple products but I just HATE Apple.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] andreww88:
I love my Macbook Pro. But this is annoying....Apple is either: A) Just trying to prevent Samsung from doing something cool with a new version of the Note or B) They are changing their mind and since Steve Jobs isn't around they are making a stylus and copying Samsung because they see "oh, people might actually like that.

The ONLY reason why iPhone is the #1 phone is marketing. They always copy features that Android started first, typically. If Android manufacturers make a "feature" on their phones and the consumers love it, Apple will come around and say "Oh, ya'll actually like that, we just thought it wouldn't fit in an iPhone, but because you like it we'll add it now".

Aggravating. But, Apple is doing something right, they are making billions on people. I'll stick with Google, Android, and manufacturers, namely Samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] DarkPand0r:
Its an ingenious little patent I'll grant that. The Note has proved that designers want to use a mobile device for their work and Apple obviously wants a piece of that. This device will allow much more refined stylus experience.... using the top part as a rubber...(Although Wacom already have this) using the pen at an angle to deliver a light shading effect.

That being said.... Apple won't release it for a long time and they'll release an incredibly basic version with minor upgradea up until the iNote 5 :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
Yup, like when Jobs was saying what a stupid idea tablets were initially and then Apple releasing the iPad a few years later.

But yes, Stylus's (Stylii?) have been around for decades, and just because Apple have applied for a patent for their version doesn't mean they'll be granted one, although given how pathetic the patent system is, they probably will be.

A decent stylus would make the ipad much more attractive to people wanting to do design work. They need to do something different other than just sticking a faster processor, better screen or LTE modem, in the next iteration, maybe this will be it.

Samsung and Apple already have more than enough lawsuits in progress against each other, they hardly need to add more at this stage.

Also - Apple has probably thought of the market for accessory stylus's, they can sell lots of different coloured ones other than the inevitable white or black one they'll release initially and make even more bank.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rlaw:
This is actually really intelligent on Apple's part. They're recognizing that creative minded people want to use their products for art creation. Releasing their own special, branded stylus with some bells and whistles is a no brainer. Especially since it looks like they're not going to license wacom tech. They'll be making some healthy margins on a beefy markup.

That being said, this seems like it may be another area where Google cedes a niche market to Apple, the other being audio related tasks. Android's audio latency is pretty terrible.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] onehundredbullets:
Totally agree. Marketing, and timing.

It all started with the iPod, and that ingenious marketing campaign with the black silhouettes and white headphones. Didn't take long before the iPod became the dominant mp3 player in the market - despite there being better alternatives.
