[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmatas1:
I found an idea. You should download program from Google Play called "Save Contact photo" then you will see all your contacts there and you can share those contact photos via Bluetooth(should have another phone for that!). And then you can see that photo in another phone's gallery, so you can easily transfer it via Facebook or Whatsapp.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akshay B P:
The best solution

Ask your GF to remove her profile picture on WhatsApp, then after she removes the pic, Your phone will show your contact picture as the WhatsApp profile picture, go ahead and save the picture.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicksite:
Google Play app "Save Contact Photo"

MrMatas1 — hey do you happen to remember the exact name of that app? I cannot find it on Play Store— It's of course possible it's never been updated in 2 years, so isn't showing up. Would you mind taking a look and report back? It sounds like a great app. Thank you!

-optional? - sync with google

-login to gmail

-select contacts on the right

-right click on the page, select view source

-ctrl + f, search the name of the pearson whose picture you want to save. Or search for jpg, should be 6th or so link.

-copy paste link in another window in browser. Address should be something like: lh5.googleusercontent.com/.... Number is not necessarily 5.

save back contact photo

this replay could be too late but this app could do what you ask for:

I'm new user at xda and still not allowed to post links but you can search google play store for this package id:

com.saryelgmal.extractcontactphoto

note: I created this app :D, please rate in play store if you find it helpful :good::good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Den2006:
Great work!

Thank you! A relative passed and I wanted the picture from the contact page. A sincere thank you, the app was simple and effective great work!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelo_lopes:
you rule. In the Play Store the App name is

Import Photos from Contacts: Save Images.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imation_nz:
Hey man is there any possible way we could add features to your app man .... Like Selecting all contacts and downloading them also maybe away of syncing them back to contacts???

Maybe ??
[General Questions and Answers] siphio:
Hi there i have been coming here for a while reading at everyones posts and help regarding rooting xoom's... so with all the great feedback the members have given to the users who designed a very easy HOW TO guide on how to root and flash your xoom... I FINALLY DID IT!!!!!! was very easy, i currently have a xoom MZ601 which i rooted with a breeze the put clockwork 3.2.0.0 & flashed to ICS...

Was just curious to know can anyone direct me to a place where i can find alot of themes and customizations for it as i really want to make it look awesome.

Also just another quick question, when i flashed my xoom i originally installed clockwork 4.0.4 how i had to get v3.2.0.0 because 4.0.4 would not pick up the micro SD card to flash to ICS, Is there a version of clockwork i need to have specifically for the xoom. it is a US version and the ICS versio n i got my hand on was Team EOS 3G everest 4.0.4, is that the right ICS i sould have for my xoom mz601, all the help i can get would be most appreciated as i very new to all this. cheers in advanced.

I have an odd problem which I am thinking is maybe to do with handcent, the texting app.

When i text a status update to facebook, it sometimes turns my characters into random chinese characters.

not all the time, just sometimes. I've added a picture below of a long status i posted.

has this happened to anyone else? any ideas?

(p.s nope i dont use the facebook app, this is just via sms texting)

[Galaxy S III General] DaveBG:
They finally released 2GB version! My prayers are heard!

http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/30/canadian-carriers-put-galaxy-s-iii-launch-on-june-20th/
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
2gb is a must required for smoother user experience like the international variants as the s4 uses more memory than exynos quad. apart from that not much of a difference on that part.

so its upto the users to decide, apart from the ram which soc is better? s4 or exynos quad
[Galaxy S III General] Totòòò:
but are the specs of the quad core processor better than the dual core s4? or they are almost the same? I noticed the att dual core hox was doing pretty well(even better than the quad core hox) and I was impressed I should say!
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
both of them are on par on performance with one winning the others in few test, you will absolutely note no difference in performance.
[Galaxy S III General] ECrispy:
What makes you say that S4 uses more memory? Both of them don't have dedicated graphics memory like the Tegra3 so they both need to use system ram. The rest is upto the OS, the SoC has nothing to do with it.
[Galaxy S III General] MrSimtang:
I'd pick the dual-core, 4g LTE (and DC-HSPA on 3g which the quad-core doesn't have), 2gb ram and it's not even close.

- Similar performance

- Super fast 4g speeds

- Much faster 3g speeds thanks to DC-HSPA

- 2gb ram means less app killing to make more room for other apps which leads to smoother - more fluid UI experience

I have no idea why people would want the quad-core exynos, other than the fact that it's been released.
[Galaxy S III General] :
S4/Krait : (+) newer architecture, not exactly A15, but comparable. Good battery life. If you use LTE, I

think

it has integrated LTE radios.

Quad-Exynos: (+) Powerful GPU, I would believe that Samsung can optimize their software much better for Exynos compared to S4. Decent battery life. I read that they modified the architecture with options like 128-bit internal bus which is not available in other A9's.

2GB RAM to probably offset the extra memory used by S4 as we saw in the case AT&T HOX multitasking issue.

Decision is yours.
[Galaxy S III General] kirdroid:
Tegra 3 sucks compared to S4 but exynos is way better than Tegra 3. I would say exynos is the best currently. I'm not sure if there will be too much advantage to gain with 2gb ram. The one advantage the s4 will have over exynos is battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
How many of the people who are saying that s4 plus 2gb is not good actually have an option to buy it? Only guys in US who have option to go with either of the two will give you right answer.

Im going with exynos quadcore... Do i think s4 plus 2gb plus lte is better in terms of hardware? definitely yes. Then why am i getting exynos? I want 10bucks unlimited data which will be available only with the unbranded phone. And international phone will have better developer support.

Im positive that s4 version will be super fluid if you choose to go for it though. I think i have made my decision that ill will get international version for my own reasons.
[Galaxy S III General] schrickm5:
Your only valid point is 4G, oh well.....I will have to make do with "only" 42mB/s on DC-HSPA....yes we will have it in Sweden on the Quad core.

2GB RAM is meaningless.
[Galaxy S III General] yokken:
Definitely getting the S4 version as soon as it hits AT&T. I hope it has the Wolfson DAC... but I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't.
[Galaxy S III General] DaveBG:
2GB RAM is a must today. If you do not want to seeks kernels with swap option next months you need this RAM.
[Galaxy S III General] MrSimtang:
2gb ram means faster more fluid multitasking due to Android not having to kill/reload so many apps when you run multiple things. Won't see crap like the launcher having to reload because you opened a few apps for a while. It leads to better user experience.

And how is Snapdragon S4 vs Exynos 4412 performance not similar? From benchmarks I've seen they're both extremely comparable: http://www.anandtech.com/show/5810/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-performance-preview

I don't live in Sweden, so our Exynos variant doesn't have DC-HSPA......yet another reason not to waste money on that variant.
[Galaxy S III General] The Janitor Mop:
They're both good combinations and offer interesting points for technical comparison. My bet is that real world use on both is very fluid. Both are better than Tegra 3 anyways.
[Galaxy S III General] Tatsuya79:
Quad with 2Gb..? :D

Thread to thread in super Pi the S4 is just 18% faster, so it will shine a bit in a dual core scenario but will be crushed by the Exynos otherwise (4 threads).

Then the GPU of the Exynos is a lot better (S4 GPU is in the range of the SGS2) and battery drain seem comparable between the 2.
[Galaxy S III General] <<Raj$>>:
Given an option I will go for S4 (Krait) + 2GB but sadly my part of the geographical location I will get only the Quad core one :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] akbisw:
Wish they went with adreno 320 and s4 quad like thar stupid looking leaked lg phone.

Sent from my senny
[Galaxy S III General] Alex Charles:
If you have LTE in your area get the 2.gb if not get the quad. Hspa + isn't exactly slow, just not comparable to LTE
[Galaxy S III General] bkeaver:
I think the decision would make it way more easy for me if there was at least a launch date in US and for AT&T specifically. But it could be fall yet before it actually makes it debut here and also depends on which carrier launches first etc.. etc...

I have the International ordered and still may cancel it if this low stock fiasco doesn't end soon... and wait to see how the US launches unfold. I'm also interested to see real life comparisons of performance between these 2 variants..
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
I posted it in another thread also. Just posting it here to keep a few guys updated if they missed this.

http://www.phonedog.com/videos/at-t-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-video-review/
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
Educated choice there mate. But since you are so close to the launch date you may wanna wait for a few more days to see actual device performance and it will help you choose.
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:
going to leave this where it is lying...hehe

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ----------

did he just say the quad core Exynos is a little slower but smoother? he described it as the older wiser brother....

someone needs to hit him on the "twit-o-sphere" to ask exactly what audio reproduction hardware is in it
[Galaxy S III General] Totòòò:
so att has 1.6gb ram available. and benchmark score was 4900 vs 5600 of the intl version. he said the att version he felt it has faster acceleration when you first open the browser and then kinda normal while the intl version has a slow start but then it is kinda more stable
[Galaxy S III General] pewpewbangbang:
Snapdragon krait s4 is a new architecture unlike the exynos quad using cortex a9. The krait is a hybrid between the a9 and a15 and it shows. The krait with two cores is able to keep up/outperform the exynos in almost every situation. This is CPU, not gpu I'm talking about. That's enough to say that in almost every day usage where only 1-2 cores are being used, the krait should outperform the exynos and any quad core for that matter. Only in benchmarks and games will the exynos fare better.

Add in the amazing battery life krait is capable of and the overall package with 2GB ram and it's a winner in my eyes. At least until exynos dual core 28nm comes out.

Cortex A15 is vastly superior also. Anyone is a fool to say otherwise.

Exynos is also not more open source.....it will get more development if that's what you meant but that's because it will be in the international version
[Galaxy S III General] graffixnyc:
He is stating on twitter that the International is slightly faster.. actually a few tweets about it

[Galaxy S III General] <<Raj$>>:
Go for 2GB+ S4

Without doubt go for 2gb + S4.

I have the international version and I am hell sure that mine will be outdated very very soon which I have been keep on saying since the S3's launch. S2 for its time was miles ahead but S3; especially the international version is not a stellar for this current period WRT RAM.

Go for a better option when its available, the only reason I am having was that in my geographical location I do not get the 2Gb option that you guys have.

Given an option if I can get the S4 version I will surely sell my International version ASAP and go for the US version. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Hovering over the ebay !!!
[Galaxy S III General] Totòòò:
u sure that is not affected by the price discrepancy between the 2 versions lol?
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
And that, gentlemen, is that!
[Galaxy S III General] Vibrant03:
oh i didn't know that a15 already came out? LOL

i thought a15 was just released recently , both exynos 5 and omap 5 are not out yet, but s4 krait is? and it's a15...?

you people talk about the s4 as if it's really an a15 cortex when it's really not..

just wondering..
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
I'm sticking with my International variant.

The 2GB may not mean much as it seems both of them have about the same amount of free RAM.

[Galaxy S III General] Totòòò:
I think the exynos crashed the s4. sorry guys!
[Galaxy S III General] yokken:
He had to have had tons of stuff open. There's no way they gave the Adreno 4-500MB of VRAM.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
What the hell happened to the antutu score for the us version, my galaxy nexus can get scores like that on stock. 7800 with Franco + rascream. Damn.

Quad A9's ftw.
[Galaxy S III General] <<Raj$>>:
I am sure at the least that it isn't affecting me !

S3 international version in Singapore is selling like hot cakes ! I can just sell it back spontaneously without any issues and with not much of a loss as well !

The only problem is that I need to find a seller from US now selling the US version now.
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
You won't see sexy exynos 5 this year. Earliest by first quarter 2013 and likely only on tablets. Krait is the fastest architecture you can get this year.
[Galaxy S III General] Totòòò:
btw how much they sell for in singapore ?
[Galaxy S III General] ilovemeow:
s42gb for sure

new tech and more ram ftw
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Yeah, and we're half way through this year and we're not going to see the Adreno Quad core which was my point.

If you're going to wait for a Adreno Quad Core phone which is due out in 4 to 6 months from now (Adreno Pro should come out first and have its time to shine), the Exynos 5 will be out in about 4 or 5 months from that (will be in tablets first).

Either way, both are a long wait, the SGS3 is a great phone and worth not waiting for is my main point.
[Galaxy S III General] aNYthing24:
Does anyone know if U.S. versions still get the Wolfson DAC?
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:

benchmarks are in! battery life seems to be similar as well. i think ill keep my international version
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
I think Engadget got their benchmark scores mixed up. No way the International only scored a 4400 on Quadrant. Mine scores 5600 all day long.

Says the guy who gives up LTE data in exchange for $15/mo savings. Nickel and diming never made sense to me when trying to stay on the bleeding edge of technology. But hey, to each his own, higher AnTuTu scores must have some magical value if its worth giving up LTE.
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
I'm surprised you don't have an LTE tramp stamp -- as much as your bashing everyone who doesn't care about it.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Well I think its been proven to be snappier in real world use too, like the reviewer said, the international version is quicker.

LTE is great and all but it destroys battery and HSPA+ is plenty fast enough, I get 7mbps down and 3-4mbps up.

That suits me just fine.

And anyway its not just the loss of LTE, Its also for the gain of a better soc in the exynos.

A kernel developer said as much to you in the other thread and I will definitely take his educated opinion over your google searches.
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:
You havent seen it? Bashing? Does "to each his own" correlate into bashing now? I am just giving you real information from someone who has been using LTE since day one. Even with the early hardware and original network prior to optimizations it was never as bad as people are making it. I think a lot of it is just accepting that more speed costs more battery. This is true. But once you have used it a while its worth every millivolt of discharge and $15/mo. A hundred high AnTuTu scores cant give me back the time I would waste waiting for things to happen without it. Tramp stamp....hahaha you silly boy, of course I have LTE across my chest.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Not everyone is as lucky as you are.

1. They don't offer unlimited data on ATT, so LTE for what? 2GB cap?

2. LTE isn't everywhere and probably only covers like %5 of the whole US.

So should I pay $25 for 2gb and get the same exact speeds I would be getting now?

Or pay $10 for unlimited for the same exact speeds? I know it doesn't make sense to you but I really hope it will one day.
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
And you are failing to realize that LTE is a non-issue for a LARGE majority of the population.

If we want slightly better performance, to pay full price and to only pay $10 a month for Unlimited data, why put us down every chance you get in multiple threads?

We are happy that you love LTE so much, but where I live, LTE is years away from any carrier. I couldn't care LESS about it. So, even if the LTE phone is available on my network, why would I chose it over a non-LTE version, when i have so many more pluses with the International version??
[Galaxy S III General] jbadboy2007:
Having the evolte with s4 and 1 GB ram it does use a lot of ram but not all. On average I'm seeing 150MB of free ram so with 2MB with the gs3 no worries there. If I had an option to get intl version which I don't have the option being on sprint I would get it. Mali gpu's are superior and where I live who knows when I'll get lte and the development factor.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
You are going to run into people on the internet where it's either "their way or the highway." They're only capable of seeing things in their own perspective. The saying "think outside of the box" usually doesn't apply to these people.

This is also a very personal matter to him specifically as he was "deeply offended" at the discovery of people taking advantage of such a deal.
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:
Nope, you're right , we can agree to disagree. It's not like i own VZW stock.....but my thing is I will take LTE if the option exists any day over gaming performance. Thats just for my use. For those who want to play games and are fine with or stuck with no LTE, then the EU variant makes perfect sense.

Enjoy your devices. :)
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
*thumbs up*
[Galaxy S III General] mastarifla:
My home is here in Dallas, where AT&T's headquarters apparently is, tried the LTE and was blown away by the speed, I was getting 40Mbps average, it was nuts.

So it's pretty much a no brainer for me to choose the LTE version, amazing coverage and great speed.

Those of you who purchased the international version for use in america, what happens if AT&T fixes the little loophole that you are currently using? Would it still be worth having the international version if you lived in an LTE area?
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
It's not a loophole. It's simply that AT&T can't identify the phone without having the IMEI and type of phone in their database.
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:
But if they ask you can't tell them what it really is because to do so would ruin the loophole. Just making the distinction.
[Galaxy S III General] Baldilocks:
They've never asked. Back when I first went on the plan I had the SIM card in a 2004 Motorola RAZR V3. That's still what shows up on my line.
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
Haha. Stop acting like a 5 year old. You can't have it, get over it. Your every post just makes a fool out of you.
[Galaxy S III General] ceo.mtcl:
Yup it'll still be worth. Look at our development forum already.
[Galaxy S III General] neyenlives:
Heh....yeah....going to let that one lie right there....lets please stay on topic. Take the ATT data stealing to the thread dedicated to such things please. If you have a problem with me, bring it to a PM, or for the love of god put me back on your ignore list.
[Galaxy S III General] mastarifla:
To be honest I don't need to run 20 different roms, I understand that some people enjoy tweaking and testing their phones to the max but if I have CM9 or AOSP I'm set.

For me, I can grab the phone soon for only $200.

Do I end up paying a bit more for data?

Yes. But I am not torrenting or streaming a lot of content, I'm coming from the crappy Sprint network so I have no idea what you people do on your phones...

Will it have as much developer support as the international?

Probably not. However, as long as there are a few major roms I'm pretty happy.

Does the US version have any additional benefits to it?

Ram/trade in/LTE/repairs are the only thing that come to mind.

With that said, and the location I am currently in, the AT&T variant suits me best.
