No signs of overheating here. Battery lasts for 12hours for me with 3-4 hours screen on time. Have some unusually high "Cell standy" battery usage.

You can get the scrolling back, by using a hacked version of the launcher.

I fixed it by removing S-Voice altogether with titanium. :p Never used it for anything.

Anyone available to assist me on this ?

@Have some unusually high "Cell standy" battery usage.

Yeah, I saw a lot of people experiencing this problem. Anyway, This seems to be a software related problem which would be fixed very soon.

Picked up a SGIII from Vodafone today(due an upgrade...it was free:) )

First impressions i hate TouchWiz but as you can see from my sig i`m a long time user of Sense.

Build quality is better than i expected...photos don`t do it justice.

HOX screen is better and HOX camera for me is better.

SGIII is faster and smoother....not by a lot but noticable.

Overall i can`t make up my mind which i prefer the most so i`ll keep them both:)
[Galaxy S III General] Smartphoner:
Great overall

Got my device shipped from Dubai at 2650 AED = 721 $ = 580 euros

I never expected it to be as beautiful on real life! A real master piece as a matter of fact. The design and grip of the phone is so comforting. I could've waited for the blue but i'm glad i got the white one, really elegant!

I know the battery power still needs time to be established well, but not bad now.

Even though i hate touchwiz as an experience from SGS and SGS II but samsung did a good job in revamping its functionality and appearance. Improved speed than S II but not much.

I guess it's sometimes hard to press the home button especially when double pressing for S-voice activation, maybe due to its narrow design and being close to the edge; but that's no big deal for me.

Motions sometimes doesn't work unless u try more than once like in the double tap to go to top of list, or the direct dialing.

Finally there is battery percentage display and restart device option in stock SW!!!!

In summary i love the device and i guess will hang with it for a looooong time.

By the way, I came from SXS which i owned for 2 months :)

Video Playback and Sound Playback

Ordered mine from Expansys a few days ago. Says I have to wait to roughly June 10th to get it :(

Has anyone tried .FLAC and .APE files on the device? Do they work out of box?

And what about 1080p .MKV and .FLV?

Thanks to anyone that could let me know! :D
[Galaxy S III General] vinuneuro:
Could someone who's also owned a One X please comment on call audio quality? It's one of my major complaints with the One X.
[Galaxy S III General] pokerdon:
Love it

So fast, smooth and comfortable in the hand. Had the Galaxy S from release and was not tempted by S2, but this phone is the business!
[Galaxy S III General] stripealipe:
I've not used a One X but i've made quite a few calls now in various situations, both noisy, quiet, and paired to a bluetooth device in a car, and the quality has been really nice and clear. The caller at the 'other' end has said i sound good and clear too.
[Galaxy S III General] brizzle7:
Looks like it can't be backed up on Kies yet as "Device type not recognised".

Edit - 4 times later and it worked.
[Galaxy S III General] Islander2010:
I just got my phone yesterday, and still playing with it. Coming from a BB Curve, I really had to adjust to the display size, and the size of the phone per se... However, the performance is very crisp and smooth. Audio quality is also top notch. Not a fan of the touchwiz skin, though.

One thing I also noticed is that the unit tends to get a bit hot at the back, especially after prolonged use. Is this normal?
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
It's been pretty much normal with dual/quad core phones of any kind. Finally have a ROM on my GS2 that runs cool, but all the rest ran kind of warm. As long as you don't get any temperature warnings.

any news about the 32G S3

i'm waiting for a one
[Galaxy S III General] xTristinx:
I ordered from expansys too but i couldnt refuse Negri's overnight shipping and it arriving on monday. The funny part is that i just ordered it and i was suppose to pay an extra 80 dollars for it to arrive monday but they refunded the money and im still getting it on monday. Gotta love negri ;D if anything il see if the mkv and flv files work because im gonna upload all of my anime on that thing once i get it.
[Galaxy S III General] BuddyLee:
mkv and flv do play, i watch alot of quality anime encodes as well as football matches ...

my main concern for switching from s2 is the battery. I will have same activities on s3 like i have now, so if i got 20%-30% more battery, i will be very happy...

Sent from s2
[Galaxy S III General] stefan2305:
Wait...when did u order it though? Cause I mean, i'm looking at Negri's prices right now and its selling the S3 for a whopping $915! I think ill wait an extra week than pay $200 more for no reason. I paid $27 for overnight shipping with Expansys but they were out of stock so i have to wait til next weekend. :/

---------- Post added at 04:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:50 AM ----------

awesome thanks! any chance u could check if a .FLAC file would work on it?
[Galaxy S III General] nageshv24:
FLAC does work :)
[Galaxy S III General] Toss3:
Just try it in the other direction, from right to left. ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
You DO realize that the $915 is for the 64GB versions, which aren't even out yet.

Just Got Mine!!!

i got mine on 31th may 2012 for RM999 (EUR251) from telco with 2 years contract, looking for the blue s3, they dont have it, googling around, found that the blue s3 got delayed, the s3 got rooted today 03/06/2012, thanks to mr Chainfire post :)
[Galaxy S III General] VJKotts:
For those of you in the US who have already got the phone from the UK, is everything working alright on AT&T? Do you need to change APN settings or does it work well out of the box? How is the call quality on AT&T?
[Galaxy S III General] Wekko306:
I just received my GS3 yesterday. First impressions are very positive, coming from a Desire HD. I owned that phone since it came out so I was already very familiar with android.

The moment I held it in my hand I thought it was actually very big. My Desire HD is 4.3" so the GS3 isn't a whole lot bigger but did feel like it initially. However, one day later, I'm perfectly used to the GS3 and the Desire HD feels kind of small and heavy now.

The screen is amazing: high res, very crisp and I like the SAMOLED colours. Haven't had the chance to test it in bright sunlight yet. The browser is crazy fast though, works without hiccups whatever you throw at it. One thing I did notice that, sometimes, when pressing the home button, the homescreen needed to reload which could take up to 2 seconds. However that was after installing ~60 apps, after rebooting the phone the homescreen reloading hasn't happened yet.

So far very happy with it, zero complaints :)
[Galaxy S III General] @bushwilliams:
It booted up with the Cingular APN working, just had to add MMS port 80 to it, no biggie. Will add the other ATT APN later and see if it boosts speed but I haven't experienced that on my Note so not sure it matters.

Call quality is perfect, did several tests between i9300 and N7000 yesterday and it sounds better than my i777 did.

I had some pretty serious expectations going into this and it destroyed them all so far. If I have one complaint its that I would rather have had the blue but couldn't wait, the white is nice but I have a feeling those who wait for the blue are going to be very glad they held out.

I have spent time with just about every phone other than the EVO and I have to say that in my opinion the Note and the S3 are the best that are out there depending on the type of consumer you are, personally Im an S3 and couldn't be happier with this phone. S Voice is fun, gestures are excellent, surfing is so fast, the LED light is such a welcomed and nice addition, UI performance is killer, WiFi strength is very good, the screen is exceptional, my only complaint being that I can't find a good enough wallpaper to show the sucker off, and battery life so far has exceeded expectations. (3 hours of screen on time yesterday and only drove down to 60%)

Currently using Nova Prime all stock, looking forward to tinkering with it after the dust settles.
[Galaxy S III General] VJKotts:
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I do not know much about APN settings. Why do you need to change the MMS port to 80? What does that do? What are the best APN settings for ATT?

How are your HSPA speeds? Are they comparable to other ATT phones?
[Galaxy S III General] banone:
I am interested in hearing about signal strength. I have a Nexus which barely have a signal in my house. Anyone with a Galaxy Nexus and S3 who could compare them for me??
[Galaxy S III General] VJKotts:
Can someone compare signal strength of One X and S3 in the US?
[Galaxy S III General] @bushwilliams:
Check out this thread in the N7000 forum, it has all the info you need to easily setup and understand your APN. This is a universal setting for ATT so the fact its in the N7000 forum has no impact on i9300. PM me if you have any questions, enjoy!

Got mine 2 hours ago it came with the wrong bloody charger the 2 pin European charger as opposed to the 3 pin one we use in Ireland and the UK so im annoyed at that given i got it on o2 Ireland, luckily i can use my Galaxy S2 charger until i get a replacement charger, first impressions are excellent very fast and ICS is really cool, gonna root the phone later (essential) and then spend time setting it up.

EDIT - Silly me it didnt come with the wrong charger at all i just had to tinker around with it (facepalm) :)
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
I wish they would have a standard outlet plug for the whole world. I have so many European, Asian and UK chargers lying around that I can't even use here in the U.S. LOL.

ahhhh.... i see that now! Wow. so dumb, I am. lol. But the 16GB is still $80 more not including the overnight shipping. and its expected ship date is a mere 1-2 days before my expansys order so its not worth it for me.

Has anyone here tried using the International version on either T-Mobile or Simple Mobile? If so, how's everything going over there? What kind of data speeds are you seeing?

Much appreciated! Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] sohebq:
i checked out the bugs thread and happy to read that not many bugs are there in s3 like s2. s2 came with a lot of bugs like overheating, random shutdown and reboot, pink camera spot and a few more. I predict it will outsell the sgs2 despite the heavy competition with one x and iphone 5

Well after owning my htc one x for nearly a month and now a few days with my s3, going to be selling the one x, everything seems to run just that bit smoother on the s3 and I like the look and feel of the phone.

Still hats off to htc for such a good phone :)
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
Yes. But with technology today, they could make one standard 'smart' outlet.
[Galaxy S III General] Sensamic:
Hi.

Im thinking of buying this phone. I would like to know if the text size of the menus can be change to be smaller. I think there is a preference in settings to change the size of the font throughout the phone. Does the SGS3 has this?

I would like to make the font size a little bit smaller. If this is possible could someone please upload a few screenshots of the text size smaller in the settings menu?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] lonelyw:
yes you can. from Setting>Display>Font Size you can choose from: Tiny, Small, Normal, Large and Huge
[Galaxy S III General] Sensamic:
And this will allow for more stuff like options and settings to appear per screen right?

Can someone please post a screenshot?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III General] ronj1986:

Problems with S voice.

Hi guys...

Sorry if this has been answered before....but please help me if its at all possible on SIII as demoed.

Saw some claims that S voice can take pictures with a voice command like 'cheese'

or 'shoot', and also control the music app to increase the volume and play next song.

Here I am able to open the music app as well as the camera but its not taking the voice anymore to snap pictures or change tracks.

Please help if I m missing something.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] maranello69:
for those that are indecised about the white color, i can assure you that the phone looks awesome on white!

i'm also a black / dark colors guy myself, but in my country the blue ones are delayed for 15-20 days, maybe more, so i decided to switch to white

the phone looks much more better in your hand, i was aspecting a more oval shappe, but it is just perfect and the back plate looks great, not rounded at all
[Galaxy S III General] Grantzxr:
few photos of mine in the samsung black case

some photos taken on my HD2 lol
[Galaxy S III General] olanzky:
well actually it does/ try changing the default language to others like English US or English ???. when music app is playing say next for next trach previous and stop. volume up or volume down. another thing that i try was asking S-Voice to set facebook status. once it listens to your message it will ask you to make changes or update now your fb status. but on the other hand S-voice is really not into it yet most of the times it miss and sometimes it does.
[Galaxy S III General] v1rtu4l:
that's probably because most of the people who got the galaxy s3 already do simply enjoy their device and don't have to visit other phones forums to fill the inner void that their dull htc phone left, after realizing it's only second best :p

OMG,i finally caved in and settled for the white instead of blue.Just couldnt wait.THis PHONE IS AMAZING!!!I cant believe people complain about pentile,the screen is gorgeous on the s3.super quick fastest device one could own.

Just tried god damn hard to kill the battery...was stuck at 3% for very long.IT just didnt want to die:D

currently on its first 8hour charge...cant wait to wake up in the morn and give this baby a proper spin:D
[Galaxy S III General] cdd543:
I received mine today from Negri...looking forward to spending some more time with it this evening. One thing immediately evident is the buttery smoothness of the device. It's noticeably smoother than the Note and HOX. Feels very nice in the hand and I like the white more than I thought I would. Seems solid with no creaks that I can find.
[Galaxy S III General] vinuneuro:
So you've all had it for a while now. Could those who also owned a One X please comment whether the SIII is as good at resisting fingerprints? The One X was almost completely impervious.
[Galaxy S III General] vasp3690:
I'm amazed of the phone in general. I also use the 2x battery to get more battery efficiency for the time being. However once i take it off the charger in the morning i always see battery to 99% rather than 100%. Is that right? Doesn't seem to affect the battery life though

[Galaxy S III General] katamari201:
How does the glossy coating feel like? Is it rough and grippy like the white Lumia glossy coating, or icky and slimy like the original galaxy s? Is it slippery in the hand? Does it get greasy easily? Does the chrome around the edges have the same glossy feel, or does it feel different/better/worse? And does the chrome have any give when you hold or squeeze the phone? In lieu of being able to touchy and feely the phone myself, I hope you can vicariously describe the phone feel to me :)
[Galaxy S III General] vasp3690:
Personally i do.

I tried zagg and kingfish and both are rubbish.

I now have the protex one which is very good. I had already ordered the original ones as well as the Martin something from mobilefun so I'll see if something is better.

[Galaxy S III General] vasp3690:
Glossy feel is very nice. No complaints. I use a rubberised cover now but i like the feel of the naked phone a lot. The alloy surround is also slick and smooth and doesn't feel different from the rest of the phone. I think people mistake the feel for weight as if the phone should have some weight to feel well built. It doesn't squeak, seems robust and smooth. I have no complaints for replacing the highly admired HTC one S for its MAO, which chipped like mad. If i disregard that i would say it doesn't feel cheap in my hands this S3

Nothing further to add while it charges. Size is perfect. Much to my surprise I don't have to convince myself that a white phone is OK - it really does look very nice.

And the best thing is that I can leave the madhouse that the SGS2 forum has become:D

Had the S3 for the weekend now. Lots to like about it especially feel and look, screen and smart stay.

But a few gripes: why no format text to fit when you zoom? Also the screen doesn't scroll ailing as you type, I.e on here as I type I get ahead of the screen so I can't see text and have to manually move screen. And formatting wrong so trying to correct 'ailing' to 'along' impossible as text moves as you move cursor. Also email set to push but still getting auto notifications. Lock screen weather location slow to update too. Anyone got solution s for any of them? Thanks

Audio Output of S-3

I saw your Awesome review of the S-3 here on XDA. I need your Help please. I have a Sensory Hearing Defecit, A Hearing Loss. The Audio Ouput of a Device is critical to me, I am 62, and I thrive off my Smartphone. I also have had Cataract Surgery, and so Display is also of paramount importance as well.

I currently have a Motorola Atrix2, which has been very problematic, basically a piece of Junk, and Im on AT&T. However Audio Output on The A2 is incredible and the Display is beautiful. Crisp and Clean, and excellent Contrast.

I am looking at the HTC One X and the S-3. I need to establish which of these 2 are closest to the Audio Output of the A2.

The Audio Output in "db" from the speakerphone, in call ect and Media Player. Unfortunately the Retail Stores all have the devices tethered in such a way that it is hard to compare. I went to a AT&T store which happened to have a Note and OneX tehered next to each other, so I tried to compare with my Atrix2. It was difficult if not impossible to judge.

The Display on the OneX next to the Note was like a DreamCatcher, Unbelievably Clean, Crisp and Awesome, but the Audio out put seemed less than my A2, and the Note appeared "Louder"

I am not asking for help to pick a phone, however any guidance would be appreciated. I need to know how the S-3 and the OneX compare in Audio output to the Motorola Atrix2.

Whenever people get in a jam, Ive been told, go to XDA, they know whats going on, and they have real world solutions that work. I hope someone who has access to the information I need will help. GSM Arena and Phone Arena are one of the Few sites that use db measuring equipment in their reviews, unfortunately my emails to them have gone unanswered.

The review was awesome, This site is awesome as well! I tried to email Dan from Mobilsyrup, who did the review, but couldnt come up with a email address. I truly hope someone can help me out.

Thank you- Larry
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
Larry, I hope one of the users here who has used both replies and helps you, I can only say what I read in some reviews (which I'm sure you also read) that the speaker output on the GS3 is loud enough.

I would also suggest that you email the people at androidcentral and engadget, they have also tested both phones, and also ask in the androidcentral.com forums.

Another thing to consider is if you are in the US, the GS3 will be different from the international version, it is not known what audio internals it will have although the speaker probably is the same.

I will try to find this information if possible.

These are the values in the gsmarena test - http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii_vs_htc_one_x-review-759p7.php

I couldn't find Atrix 2 db ratings on gsmarena.

I can't tell how u guys like the One X camera better. Had them both, as i grabbed my S3 last week. It is unbelievably fast and responsive. The camera is just great. Videos play at 30fps under any circumstance. Battery is awesome, although i would have loved to have better standby.

Nothing that an update wouldn't sort out.
