One nice this is though that the i747 is coming out on all the Canadian carriers and it seems the only difference between the i747 and the it999 is the it999 has LTE disabled so a radio flash should be able to make them compatible. As such you will have the same phone on all the Canadian carriers as well as AT&T and T-mobile. As such I can expect that it will have some pretty great support behind it.

If I didn't have two and a half years left on my contract I would so be getting one of these beasts
[Galaxy S III General] bkeaver:
First off know your facts... All variants come in 16gb or 32 gb of storage this is not memory with a 64gb to follow. And the International version has 1gb of memory and all other variants will have 2gb.

I have no clue why you are saying yours has 16gb of memory (which isn't memory) and us "yanks" getting 8gb???
[Galaxy S III General] be1ieve1111:
Is he referring to the sgs 1? maybe sgs2?
[Galaxy S III General] CZ Eddie:
Yup.
[Galaxy S III General] Hotobu:
First off maybe you should actually focus on reading properly. Notice he said "had" referring to a past phone, also he said "SGS" I don't see a "3" or a "III" behind that do you? OH HEY He's not talking about a current model!

You're right, you don't have a clue. He's using the SGS as an analog in order to compare how the Canadian version of a past phone was superior to the US version of the same model thus showing precedent for that happening before, and suggesting that it could again.

Proper reading comprehension is a wonderful thing isn't it?

Turn off LTE?

Anyone know yet if the att version will allow you to turn off LTE for those of us that dont have LTE in our area? I would rather get the att version but dont want LTE sucking my battery dry scanning for the signal.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbb90104:
My Dad has a MB860 (Bell version) that is unlocked. He is travelling in italy and pre-bought a SIM to use while he's there. We tested it here, and it looked like it was working. However, now that he is in Italy, the phone doesn't seem to connect to the towers (i.e. it says only Emergency Calls are allowed). However, he is able to send SMS messages.

We've tried doing a manual search for networks, and tried all the available networks in his area, but the problem still persists.

Is there a way to select the 900/2100 GSM bands?

Anyone have any ideas of what is going on or what to do next? He's getting a little frantic, not being able to call back.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

got my SGS3 today and started playing with it. I started downloading my apps and during this the wifi dropped connection 3 times. It connected again within seconds, but this is not good.

The distance from my router was around 3 meter. My SGS1 never dropped connection....... :confused:

Any idea's?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arniejj:
I also have problems with wifi:

It connects normally but after tens of seconds the connection is dead. Android says still it's connected, but it simply doesn't work.. I have no sim installed atm because I have only an oldskool sim and not a micro sim. Tomorrow I will get a microsim at the vf shop and test again..

I had issues like those aswell today using my Adam but only with wireless. Weird ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPhilo:

I have a similar issue, the status bar shows wifi is fine (the arrows are blinking) but no actual data on the phone. Checked on my tf201 on the same network and its working fine.

This has happened twice now and only restarting the phone fixes the issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] archaen:
I have downloaded over 2 Gb with my SG S3 over Wifi at home and at work. No issues, and it´s super fast, even beating my XOOM.

I have a Dlink 625 at home and at work we have a Cisco something.

However had a different problem where the phone just restarts when dialing a number, and then it boot looped on the logo for about 5 times before starting up. scary .

This is the same problem I was talking about, but rebooting does not work for me..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhiteHartMart:
Mine seemed to behave a little like this to start with also - I changed the Wifi Frequency Band (Settings-WiFi-Advanced) to 2.4ghz only and its been rock solid since.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arniejj:
Tried that also, it did work for maybe half a minute..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10076757:
is the setting on the router set to 2.4ghz
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arniejj:
Yes, it is in b+g+n mixed mode and is saying 2.4ghz. As a matter of fact I'm not able to chose another frequency (maybe because of the b and g). I can try to put it in b/g or g only mode.

I also read about that NFC's RF signals can interrupt the Wifi signal, so I will try also to disable the NFC option.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arniejj:
I tried another galaxy s 3 with the same settings.. that one works well on my wifi network.. I think the wifi module is not working properly..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lmax12:
Do you have by coincidence a draytek router. I have the SGS3, and my sister has the SGS2. We both experience problems with wifi also here. I have several draytek routers, all giving problems.

It seems to become a bit more stable if you set the Channel width to just 20 MHz, in stead of 20/40MHz. And use WPA2 only, not a mix of WPA and WPA2.

These two changes made the connection a bit more stable for me, but i'm not 100% convinced yet.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gg_monogram:
mine doesnt hv any issue with wifi, but for my cell signal, it changes between 3g <> h <> h+ alll the time, anyone too?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muskstick:
I posted a solution for this in the known issues thread but I thought I'd repost here in case you missed it.

I was having similar problems but found that if I disabled the Wifi Power Save Mode I was back to blazingly fast speeds and no dropped connections.

I had to go into Service Mode (dialling *#0011#) and hitting Menu => Wifi and turning off the option for power save mode.

Give it a try. It fixed a couple of other guys problems as well.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swipermusic:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swipermusic:
That worked but battery drainer . Have put it back on and set wifi to off when screen off. That has helped loads.

Picked my white 16GB S3 up today from my local three shop.

So far so good with all except an interesting one....

When I was calling three to give them my PAK code, when I went to tap in my code which contained a 1 as soon as I hit the one key the display dimmed!!

It did this twice?

Anybody had this?

I will have a further play when I have charged up again.

Does everybody still charge up overnight as I did with my Sensation and i9000 or should we now become eco fanatics and charge as and when and disconnect?

eBay search, now around £10 if I remember right. I have a black one for my S2 which will be used on my blue S3. My dad's S3 above is on his white S2 dock.

Dock works just fine with the rubber seat that comes with it, the phone is solid when docked. Case users will need to remove the seat from the dock. People should confirm what cases fit in this dock when attached to the S3 but I imagine all official mesh style cases will be fine as the S2 is just fine with them minus the seat.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Walhalla:
Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered 2 of them ;-)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Lootes:
Saw your post in another thread, thanks for the heads up, ordered two off of Ebay just now, one for home and one for the office. $11 each.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robbiekhan:
It really is one of the nicest looking docks I have seen, probably because it is in similar style to the iPhone one :p

[Galaxy S III Accessories] CZ Eddie:
Looks like this one will not be compatible with some cases. While the OEM version will absolutely be compatible with most cases. See pic below.

I'll go for the charger that lets me use a case. I learned that lesson already. You think it won't be a big deal taking the case off and putting it back on. But for me at least, it gets pretty annoying after awhile even if it does become second nature.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] zmore:
I really would have liked to get a dock this time around, but unfortunately my kid steals my phone all the time and having it in a dock means too much wear & tear and the possibility for it to be bent out sideways from the dock instead of pulled out, damaging the ports.

So, I bought a regular "Though Out ped3-u universal stand" instead, because my kid at least knows to yank the cable out the right way by the wire. My last stand was a portable desk stand, but was meant for a tablet, and my kid managed to destroy that, so, this ped3-u should hold up much better, being solid steel.

(And I suppose wireless charging would be even more ideal where fat fingered kids are concerned...)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] thewhitetower:
To those that have the Zenis...is it easy enough to dock the Sammy into the port? i.e is it effortless or do you have to take care to align and drop the Sammy in place...

I'm conscious of 'missing' the usb connector and scuffing the bottom of the Sammy (if you know what I mean)...currently just using the usb cable and at least have some control when I insert it into the Sammy....don't want to picking up the dock to ensure that I line up the 2....

Thanks;)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] themightycat:
I'd like to know this as well. Also, can anybody recommend where I can get some usb cables and car charger for my s3? I live in Houston, TX if that's relevant.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LowSky:
Order the cables and charger online. So much cheaper. Im just going to use what I have now no need to buy anything new if the old cable is the same, its all micro usb these days thankfully.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nashmage:
Would this work with an Otterbox Commuter Series?

If not do any docks exist for more rugged cases?

Is the SGS2 dock the same as the SGS3 dock ?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SAMSUNG-G...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item64224a7cc1

Does it apply pressure on the micro usb port ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stunno:
Yes it is very easy to dock as it just slots in. You would need to make a concerted effort to miss the port
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Willie_Heckerslyke:
One thing I initially found using the Zenit charger, was it was a really tight fit onto the little usb spiggot of the dock, and sorta 'clunked' into place, it was also therefore, a bit of a struggle to get off the charger too!

I was using it without the rubber insert as I thought the S3 wouldn't fit into the dock with it in place (as it was initially designed for the S2 as I understood it....) However, it does still fit - even with the insert in place, and is MUCH easier to put gently on - and get off - the charger....something my missus will really appreciate when I'm trying to sneak quietly out of the room when off to work at 5am.... ;)

Edit: This is when using the phone minus any sort of cover....can't say if it's the same with a cover on (though looking at Robbie's vid on YT - it does seem to be a tighter fit when using one!)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] stunno:
I can't remember if I posted this, but I got a Smart Stand case and, although it is a nice case, it won't fit into this stand because of the bulge in the back

has anyone tryed this with a TRIDEA style case http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-TRIDE..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item4ab82248f3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Veilus:
Just received mine, its nice looking and works well. It seems it wont charge when i connect it to a hub (dock needs more power?) but if i connect the phone to the hub without the dock then it charges and connects to pc. So im using the wall outlet to power the dock.

Ill probably get some double sided tape to stick it to the desk so i don't have to hold the dock when i remove it.

It is a bit hard to remove, smooth to dock phone. Using the rubber adapter that came with it wont work with a case since its too tight. This is with a thin Incipio case, but docks fine with the case while using no rubber adapter.

Also anyone know how to stop it from leaving the screen lit up? Doesn't seem to go back into standby.

UPDATE: I think my hub wasnt getting enough power so i used an external adapter to power it. Unfortunately i think my dock is faulty. Both with wall charger and plugged into hub, it shows charging and the light yet in 30mins it dropped for 22% to 21%. Even wallcharger didnt charge it well and this was over an hour. I plugged the dock straight into pc and see how that goes, if that fails then ill try without the dock just in case its the phone.

UPDATE2: Restarted the phone and it seems to be charging now, still the connection is not as sturdy as i like for use with the S3, seems like if i tried removing it the wrong way it could bend. I assume the S2 would be more snug.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hawkalpin:
I have followed the robbiekhan tip and have bought the Zenis dock too. (I want a dock which matchs with my Ceramic White SGSIII. I have bought last week for around US$ 10 and it has arrived today.

The dock has a solid built and feels very good. Finish is good, but the curves at front isn't very smooth and the rubber pads aren't properly aligned, but, it was only 10 dollars and can fix the rubber pads, changing they with anti-slip dash mat under the dock.

I have opened it and is very simple builded. The two microUSB connectors soldered on a little board are attached together with a flat-cable. Simple as that. (I can't post photos yet, but if you want, I can take some shots. ;)) Maybe can we transform it into a "original dock" with resistors?

I'm very happy with my purchase. microUSB connector holds tight the phone and it doesn't 'dance' at the dock. For 10 bucks, is awesome.

Thanks for robbiekhan which gave this little tip for us! :good:

Case-Mate Pop Case computability?

Thanks for the tip robbiekhan! I just ordered one. :good:

Has anyone tried this dock with the Case-Mate Pop Case? I am thinking about ordering one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Hawkalpin:
Now I can post pictures, so, let's start:

The dock itself

Back view

Under view without rubber pads removed, giving access to all screws.

The dock inside

Simple circuit which extends the 5 pin microUSB connector. That's why Dock Mode and MHL aren't supported. (I mean so)

Another view from the microUSB connector.

Underplate view. A iron piece which helps to give some weight and the plastic supports for both little circuit boards.

The dash mat is better than the rubber pads, so I have an idea.

Why not glue it under the dock?

Let it dry...

...and cut the mat.

And this is the result!

I have taked all photos with the SIII. I'll take another shot with the SIII on the dock.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] robbiekhan:
That would still provide a soft spongy feel to the base though. Buy a pack of rubber stick on pads that are designed just for this, they cost £1 from any decent home store.

Also, my order came in yesterday. I'm really pleased with the quality. Fits perfectly with the bumper when "naked" and probably would fit while in the Rearth Ringke Slim case, but I didn't want to force it and so... bumper off and it fits well, if a little loose. Overall, it's a no-brainer. I think I'll order another one so I can leave one at work and one by my bed. Thank you robbiekhan!

landscape dock?

hey guys, sorry if this was asked already but i have a question.

as i preordered in the US from Verizon, i will not get my phone for another week when its released. i currently have the galaxy s (fascinate) with its desk dock. this desk dock keeps the phone in landscape mode which i prefer. the only docks i have seen so far for the s3 are portrait docks.

does anyone know of any landscape docks for the s3?

thanks.
