Love the feel of the phone. Does not feel slippery at all, nice grip to the handset. Total one handed use is probably not going to happen. You may need the occasional second hand to use it comfortably. I tend to hold the phone from the side now as opposed to the bottom for more comfortable usage. The rounded edges feel great in the hand.

Crystal clear recording. No problems at all

The Flip Cover does fold all the way back so you can keep it out of reach. You can also answer a call then put the cover back on, and still use the phone as normal.

Can you run a few tests with the speakerphone? I ended up returning my S2 Skyrocket because of the persistent speakerphone echo. Apparently it was a manufacturing defect and the software noise filter didn't fix anything. There are lots of hardware fixes online, but I didn't really want to void my warranty to fix the phone. I went in and tested with several models in store, and they all had this same problem.

To be clear, the speakerphone sounds crystal clear on my end, but anyone I'm talking to gets a terrible echo on their end. If you can test in the office and while out driving somewhere, that would be amazing. Thanks for all of your help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
AFAIK this wouldn't be affected by the software since the S3 has a DAC, therefore sound is not processed by software.

Hi, I purchased this handset today and I am experiencing a few problems. When I watch a hd video online from say gametrailers.com it buffers then buffers every 10-30 seconds and does the same on the YouTube app. I know it isn't my Internet as I have 80mb broadband and all other devices work fine. Could you tell me if you have encountered anything lik this on the handset you have? Thanks in advance.

Battery Life

Hi I Got my galaxy S3 yesterday..

Tried charging it with a spare micro usb charger (Charges a bluetooth normally) and its charging like 1% an hour and the phone isnt in use...

I am going to try charging it with the orignal charger...and see if it makes any difference..

Any Comments or Ideas wha might be happening..why is it that slow in charging..

Thanks

No, it doesn't come with a microSD card at least for now. You might get one it depends on the carrier offers I suppose.

Any word on if the S3 has the same echoing issue as the Skyrocket while on speakerphone? Again, the echo is present to anyone on the other end of the call, not the Skyrocket user.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Check the amperage output on the charger. Most stock chargers output 1000mA. Bluetooth chargers and cheaply made chargers usually output only 500mA and are therefore much, much slower.

auto call recording on S3

Could you kindly confirm if auto call recording is possible on s3. Also if it records both sides without the use of speakerphone. I've been using htc desire & i am unbale to record both sides. kindly check & confirm if it could be done on s3 because my purchasing s3 depends on this feature alone. The rest I've all read positive about s3. Thanks in advance.

P.s. I've just read on the "Total recall" (google play) that it works on 1 of their many recording strategies. Kindly confirm

Regarding the SD card, the manual says it will support a 32GB card, but some websites are speculating that it will support a 64GB card. Do you have a 64GB card that you can test with the phone? Does it work?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Several people are using it with 64GB MicroSD cards, so yeah it works.

However I've read reports of mass storage mode not working on those, so there might me some low-level limitations with it.

Obviously; the US-version has 2 GB ram. However you'll quickly fill up your RAM anyway since it uses all available memory for read-caching and app-caching.

Not on stock. There are (paid) apps available for that:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.killermobile.totalrecall.s2.market&hl=en

I guess if your choosing of a ~600$ phone depends solely on whether it can auto-record calls you can afford the few USD for the app.

Hello,

Im S3 owner, and I have two question for You.

First:

When phone is in power saving and Im in bright sunlight, screen is flickering.

It is normal?

Second:

When I turn speaker to maximum volume, sound is distortioned. For example ringtone sounds bad.

Thnks for Your anwser.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Thread hijacking is considered rude.

That'a known issue. Future updates may fix the issue. However I fail to measure any significant difference with or without power saving mode, only problems. So I stay out of it all the time, but configured the phone to go to 2G when not using it which is far more battery-saving.

That's always an issue with tiny speakers. They are always distorted but at maximum volume they just can't handle anything.

The only solution is to reduce maximum volume.

You may want to try SiyahKernel with it's ported Voodoo patches tough, maybe it makes it less significant. (You'll need the atteched DSPManager app)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkreventon:
I am have a galaxy nexus and I am currently selling it in order to buy a galaxy s3.

Playing any sound basicly activates the speaker (like turning on your pc speakers) and this creates a low background noise.

I can hear it easier with headphones.

This happens on most phones, if not 100% of them.

I think it is a kind of power saving feature.

Help me please!!!

Hello! I have recently updated my Galasy SIII (Gt - I9300) to 4.1.1 (I9300XXBLG8_I9300OXABLG8_BTU) (i'm from Europe). I like this version, but i am experiencing some with it:

1) The desktop weather widget can't find my location (even if i am connected to the internet an have GPS turned on);

2) The phone doesn't want to display me the weather on the lock screen, giving me an error message.

3) My phone book shows me all the contacts, even if i set to display only the ones from the phone, for example. (So i have to reset the device. After the reset it works fine).

4) This 4.1.1 version drains my battery much faster than the 4.0.4 version that i had. Can you tell me if i am right, cause i heard different opinions.

Tell me PLEASE which Android version do you recommend me (in terms of battery) and help me to solve the issues above! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[General Questions and Answers] JDMpire:
I have a 32GB micro SD in my Galaxy S2, Acer A500 and my cameras. I just noticed that when transferring large files, transfers that in turn take a long time of read / writes the card gets real hot. I can't say for sure, but I feel that when the card gets hot, it then slows down.

Has anyone else noticed this? Most of my cards are Sandisk. I don't know if my 16GB cards do the same, I can test it if you want.
[General Questions and Answers] jeromejones:
yes the micro sd card on my phone runs exceptionally hot sometimes. It has a steel enclosure so maybe that is conducting the heat from the battery or it could be due to chip in the sd card running many read write cycles. Have you made a swap partition by any chance or increased the cache to 2048. These are known to increase performance but at the cost of sd card life.

In my experience though, the heat is really nothing to worry about.
[General Questions and Answers] ice9tech:
You'll probably find that the card gets hotter when writing, as the power required to "write" a cell is much greater than the power required to read it back. It shouldn't affect performance, but may affect longevity of the card.

That being said, it's solid state, so the heat shouldn't be much of an issue (except if the plastic casing is melting...).
[General Questions and Answers] JDMpire:
Nope, no swap partition. Like I said, I only noticed it:

1- when its in the USB card reader on my laptop (I can actually touch it that way when its in use) &

2- Its only in that card reader if and when I plan on doing LARGE file transfers, 5GB+. That obviously puts more strain on the internals.
[General Questions and Answers] Jhon998:
Nope, it can operate normally without issues...

source: http://www.sandisk.com/products/memory-cards/microsd/class4/

But I have class 10 64 GB and it work as speedy as it should even if its hot, and the plastic coating somehow getting weird Gray colour.

Firstly, when I'm not using wifi my internet seems awefully slow. I try and use it when the signal is on G and about 2 or 3 bars, but it takes forever to load pages. It also takes ages to load the facebook news feed. Any ideas?

I have heard about ICS, but I don't know if my phone is actually running this. How do I find out?

Lastly, what is LTE? What does it stand for? Does it make the phone any better? How do I find out if my note is the LTE version?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe2316:
Yes, you have only got 2.5G, not a 3G/HSPA signal. Check your phone network settings to ensure your mode is set to AUTO and not GSM only. Check your manual.

You've used 'i.e.' where you should have actually used 'therefore.' Let's not try and be clever. All I wanted to know was if my phone was the LTE version. It is quite a simple question.

Hi Joe

So are there any I717 models issued in the UK or is it mainly for other countries?

Well I have done, yes, but even with H signal (which I think is 3G?) my internet is still very slow on some websites. Just for example, it took a good 5 minutes to try and load the xda forums yesterday.

With wifi on everything is super fast and after doing a speed test I think it achieved 9mbps, but with 3G it only managed 1mbps.

Just another point. I used to use my iPhone as a hotspot and the speed of the internet on my laptop was really fast, I think it was running at around 5mbps.

[Q] NOOB: HTC Desire UPDATE from "LeeDrOiD V2.5.0 FINAL" to "LeeDrOiD V3.0.8.2 GB"

Hi all xda fans!

I'm neewbie in this topic, so let me ask:

I recently completed my HTC Desire GSM root (took me few days :D). I've chosen the ROM "LeeDrOiD V2.5.0 FINAL" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=768703).

Now I'd like to upgrade it to "LeeDrOiD V3.0.8.2 GB" (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1038195).

1. Downloaded my provider's RUU rom

2. Rooted my device using Unrevoked 3.21 and custom recovery (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=9207011#post9207011) - recovery-RA-desire-v2.0.0

3. S-Off'd with Alpharev

4. Partitioned my SD card with Gparted - created 200 MB ext4 partition out of my 8GB SD card

5. Nandroid backup of the Stock ROM

6. Flasehd LeeDrOiD 2.5.0

Please help me, what steps should I take to upgrade to LeeDrOiD 3.0.8.2?

I.e. do I need tto wipe user data? do factory reset? go back to stock rom and repeat the process with new rom? simply put zip into sd card and flash it using 'volume down+power button' menu?

Thank you all for your answers :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstylazz:
just rename the file update.zip (you do not actually have to it just make things a little easer) place on sdcard (same as you would have done for the other leedriod version you flashed) boot to recovery and flash update.zip.

Generally you do not need to do a full wipe/delete when upgrading a rom from the same dev but some people like me always do a full wipe/delete even tho it is not required. if you choose not to do full wipe/delete just simply delete cache, wipe dalvik and flash update.zip and your done, all apps ect will still be installed ect and you will be back up and running.

has anyone been using their LTevo to buy anything with wallet in stores with NFC scanners like 711?

I went thru the trouble of turning my citi mastercard into a paypass tap and pay mastercard until i later learned that Wallet ONLY accepted citi paypass CREDIT cards and not DEBIT cards. Bummer. But thankfully Wallet lets you transfer money from bank accounts into Wallet to use within your Wallet prepaids. Its super easy to spend all my money now! Every morning when i go to 711 iv been playing via wallet with my evo and the guys there go nuts over it thinking its the coolest **** ever lol.

the only problem i have with it is that when it means "tap and pay" it really means "tap and pay" the NFC scanners on the card machines have VERY little range, i guess for security reasons. i literary have to slam my phone into it for it to read it.
