[Galaxy S III General] chappatti:
If you have the Skyrocket, then the fact the SGS III is out is very depressing. I have a SKR and I am pissed with Samsung. :mad::mad:

The SIII is clearly a jazzed up Skyrocket. Fixed the f****ed up res on the SKR screen to HD, and , and .......nothing much else. Oh, yeah, ICS :rolleyes::rolleyes:

The camera is the same 8MP, when Sony has a 12 MP; LTE, huh, got that, ; 16GB, huh, got that; front camera sucks, huh, got that; dual core, huh, got that......etc. etc. Yeah, I know it is going to LOOK better, but WTF?

I hate the games Samsung and AT&T are playing.
[Galaxy S III General] CZ Eddie:
I'm okay with there being ONE GSIII thread in the Skyrocket forum.

The phone is the obvious evolution of the Galaxy lineup. It's not like it's a Sony or HTC phone.

And yes, the GSIII has a better camera, RAM, processor, operating system, screen and LED notification and a bunch of other small upgrades that make it a better phone.

I think it's a ton of small upgrades that accumulate to make it a worthy upgrade for those off contract. But not enough for anyone to start selling their Skyrocket and washing cars to get enough money to upgrade.

I WILL be upgrading, since I have two lines and can get into a new phone pretty easily/inexpensively.

But I'll be handing down the Skyrocket to my Mom who uses my second line. So I'll still be active around here somewhat.
[Galaxy S III General] lazer77:
Wonder how much it'll cost w/o upgrade. I've been saving and I want.
[Galaxy S III General] BaconStep:
international one is like $800
[Galaxy S III General] mjwhirly:
As stated many times over 12mp means nothing as long as it has a ****ty sensor, the gs3 has a better camera sensor than the skyrocket which is a one plus, yeah both phones have 16gb internal storage but what does that matter when you can just get a external sd card, seriously who need more than 2MP for a front facing camera, it also has the new S4 processor which may be a dual core but still beat the tegra 3 out in most benchmark test, it also includes an upgrade to 2gb of memory which will allow for better multitasking, the new touchwiz which IMO is pretty sweet and many other cool feautres ....i'm sorry but the SG3 is a pretty cool phone, i'm a little sad I didn't hold off for it but I can't complain about the skyrocket, we have a strong, dedicated community and plus I can only imagine how cool the GS4 is going to be next year :p
[Galaxy S III General] latinohot:
if you'd like to experience the GS3 right now, go ahead and flash

Embryo3.1 and then update to Embryo3.2

I promise you won't regret it.

After you've flashed the update you'll see what our Skyrocket can really do
[Galaxy S III General] CZ Eddie:
ATT pre-orders are shipping on Monday the 18th. So that means you can go to your local corporate store and pick one up on Sunday the 17th. Less than two weeks from now.
[Galaxy S III General] lazer77:
If I want it, I'm going to have to shell out retail for it. Don't have an upgrade and don't really wanna add another line.
[Galaxy S III General] lazer77:
$550 through AT&T. I'll probably do it and sell my Skyrocket if I like it enough. Where are people seeing the red they're offering or going to offer?
[Galaxy S III General] MaxCarnage:
I made a silent pledge to myself that my iPhone 4S (bad decision, traded it for a Skyrocket on Craigslist) was the last phone that I would be buying on a contract, so I am waiting to see what the new Nexus phones are going to look like. I like the idea of buying from Google directly, and the second my contract is up I am porting my number to Google Voice, so no carrier will have their hooks into me anymore. I want my AT&T service to be COMPLETELY disposable.
[Galaxy S III General] lazer77:
I really want to see what the next Nexus will be as well, but when will that be? I've debated just getting it right from the Play Store, but I don't know.
[Galaxy S III General] MaxCarnage:
Best guess? Sometime in November/December. Jelly Bean is supposedly looking to be launched in late Q3, and that would be about a year after the launch of the Galaxy Nexus, so there you go. I can hold out until then; no problem.
[Galaxy S III General] lazer77:
Ya, I really like it cuz its straight from Google. If that is the case (Nov/Dec), I may get the s3 to hold me over till then lol. Or save a little $ and pick up the Nexus from the Play Store. Would that be a huge downgrade from the Skyrocket though?
[Galaxy S III General] Decepticaons:
Crap, ive been a skyrocket owner for only 2 weeks, now I have to wait 2 years for the SGSIII? That really sucks!
[Galaxy S III General] lazer77:
Could add a line to your account. Only option you have unless you pay full price.
[Galaxy S III General] JL13:
can you still return it??
[Galaxy S III General] BaconStep:
Might be able to if its only 2 weeks. not sure though.
[Galaxy S III General] lazer77:
I think you get 30 days.
[Galaxy S III General] tomtommy306:
I guess I'll be picking up one of these. The look grew on me a little and the power is more than adequate.
[Galaxy S III General] lazer77:
I like the look of it as well. People are saying AT&T is going to offer red? They've only got blue and white listed..
[Galaxy S III General] MaxCarnage:
Pretty sure it's 15 days now.
[Galaxy S III General] whosgotlag:
Am I the only one who isn't jumping ship for this? I love my skyrocket and there's a few videos of the phone around, including a comparison of GS2 side by side. Its not noticeably faster, only on benchmark tests. I'd much rather wait for a nexus device.
[Galaxy S III General] iceman4357:
I keep going back and forth with this phone over the Skyrocket, but the facts are:

-Better battery

-Better Screen

-Better processor (speed, battery consumption)

-2 gig of RAM

-Better Camera

-Latest software

In addition, I signed up for the Best Buy $50 gift card option. So as it stands I pay $150 for the GSIII, sell my Skyrocket for $200+ and pocket some cash. Its really hard for me to say no to it. Not to mention I am sure there will be a TON of Dev support for this phone.
[Galaxy S III General] RiNo808:
I'm also jumping ship, but I don't know whether to pre order or wait till launch...I also don't know if I want to use my upgrade or buy it out right...
[Galaxy S III General] rob1216:
Same here do I use my update or buy it for $549 and save my update for something 6 months from now Hmmm
[Galaxy S III General] Skyrocket2Paradise:
where did you get that price?
[Galaxy S III General] Gr8Danes:
I love the Skyrocket and the people in the forum here, but I also pre-ordered the SGS3.

Mind you, it took 2 completely retarded reps to tell me that I had to pay full price and could only get an "Early Upgrade" on an iTrash, but after finally getting a knowledgable one that confirmed I wasn't crazy in having done it before, I have one on pre-order. Man, it shouldn't be that hard. :confused:

I won't be a stranger on here though, I'm going to be passing my SR off on my wife and no way she would want me to throw it back stock now that I have SkyICS on it. So, will still be checking in here and there keeping her's up to date.
[Galaxy S III General] Gr8Danes:
AT&T's website if you tried to pre-order with no contract.
[Galaxy S III General] BaconStep:
I like that a lot better than $800
[Galaxy S III General] lazer77:
Hahah, same here. When you told me the international version was $800, I thought twice. $550 is reasonable and even less than I figured. I'm buying it outright. No upgrade till the end of sept, so that'll work to save for something that comes out around the end of the year (hopefully a new Nexus).
[Galaxy S III General] BaconStep:
Now that its $550 Im really considering it. Ill have to see how much cash Ill have around july
[Galaxy S III General] dxwilliams40:
I want the SGSIII, but I love my skyrocket. SGSIII will be old news next year when my upgrade comes around just like our skyrocket is now.
[Galaxy S III General] occupational_hazard:
Definitely going to start pinching pennies now. Can not wait to see what dev support this will be getting on XDA.
[Galaxy S III General] cashyftw:
Selling my galaxy s2 for $300 and using my upgrade for the s3, I have 3 lines so I can wait for the nexus or whatever else comes out.
[Galaxy S III General] edgex:
There is an upgrade in september on my account, but my mom is taking it to go to the iPhone 5. On the bright side I'll get her 4s, my sisters 4 and still have my GSII to sell then. Wish I could get it at launch, but I suppose I'll live till sept.
[Galaxy S III General] tjsooley:
BIG DEAL! ATT will **** it up some how other than that it will not be quad core
[Galaxy S III General] MaxCarnage:
That really is a sticking point for me; I've learned that trying to have the latest and greatest smartphone is like chasing the dragon and I'm better off waiting and finding a phone that I can love for a while before upgrading. For me, I still think that the Nexus S was one of the best smartphone experiences that I've had, so waiting for the next Nexus phone is the best way for me.
[Galaxy S III General] iceman4357:
I hope not. I really think that Samsung put their foot down on all carriers and is making them sell it as is. No other phone has gone from announcement to launch in under a month. The carriers typically do their BS for a few months before release.
[Galaxy S III General] jerrygooch:
I imagine dev support is going to rock. The carriers are all getting the same phone. Only difference will be the radios. First android phone to be on all the carriers with no carrier name changes or modifications to the hardware. Its going to be an exciting time.
[Galaxy S III General] JxWayne89:
Hey guys just a quick question. I will be getting the sgs111 and letting my GF have my skyrocket. But how does the search function work? I love the search button on my skyrocket and I obviously do not see one on the GSIII??
[Galaxy S III General] latinohot:
Last I saw you needed to hold the back button to bring up the search function.
[Galaxy S III General] kr3w1337:
It isn't the same as the international version, so dev support isn't going to "rock". It will be decently good at the best.

Wait for a nexus.
[Galaxy S III General] InstigatorX:
I'm not going back and reading 8 pages of gossip on this to see if someone already posted, but just in case see the attached...
[Galaxy S III General] occupational_hazard:
So the U.S. release will be a dual core with 2gb ram. International will be a quad core with 1gb of ram if I am not mistaken.

Sent from SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
[Galaxy S III General] CZ Eddie:
Correct.

The dual core is actually based on newer technology than the quad-core.

Battery life may be a wash between the dual core & quad core phone though.

It takes more juice to run 2GB than 1GB.

A dual core may take less juice than a quad core.

Then again, the quad core will have half the cores spun down the majority of the time.

All north american phones will be identical except for the radio. So development should kick butt.

Rumor though is that Voodoo will only be developed for the quad core.
[Galaxy S III General] BaconStep:
It should have 8 cores and be powered by amd.
[Galaxy S III General] occupational_hazard:
Thanks for that, I just wanted to confirm my own findings. There are so many specs being thrown out there it is hard to keep track of anything.
[Galaxy S III General] aspromalee:
I was reading sites that kept putting off the SIII till the end of the summer, and I was desparate for a new phone to jump from my Tilt II. I got the SGS2 Sky last week, and my wife shot me a link about the SIII this morning.

Figures.
[Galaxy S III General] droe411:
Dev support will not be the same as international, the processors are different. Its like the int. Sgs2 and the i777, roms will be ported but not the exact same.

[HTC Sensation XL] FireStone00:
Ok because I don't use Sensation XL I try to make a test because I see more people who are afraid to do this update, which said phone run slowly.Download & Install of update during 20 munites.The phone run really smoothly and now I don't have a problem.So,If exist people who want to make this update isn't no one problems.
[HTC Sensation XL] chaki-:
Well smoothness and performance never was an issue here....as far as i know.

Frankly the custom roms make more problems then the OTA.

By the way i would loooove to see CM9 on XL. :D
[HTC Sensation XL] mantonas:
Same here! I have run the ics update on my sxl via ota and did not have any issues whatsoever. Everything was running smoothly, including Wi-Fi.

Nevertheless, I have rooted my phone and I am now using the total sxl senseless rom...also very good :p

Rooting Sensation XL-Device after Original Update 4.0.3

Hello my friends,

I've installes original German-Version Update Version 4.0.3:

My Cell-Info:

Android-Version: 4.0.3

HTC Sense Version: 3.6

Software-Nummer: 2.31.207.1

And now my question:

1- Is there any tool to root my device without much effort?

cause i used until update 4.0.3 the "DoomLord V. xy" and it worked perfektly!!

2- Kann i root whitout unlocking bootloader, using cwm etc.??

thx alot for your answers!! :-)

gritzy BLS

PS: Please excuse me for my bad english :o
[HTC Sensation XL] mantonas:
Hi bls2009,

In regards to your questions:

1. I don't think there is such tool. If you had run the 4.0.3 update via OTA, your phone's HBOOT should had been upgraded to 1.28 and therefore, the "DoomLord V. xy" method won't work anymore.

2. At the moment, don't think you can:(

must... not... drop... my... S3......
[Galaxy S III General] Meemo23:
I have the S3 and i can honestly say i am very disappointed.. I know glass breaks so get off my back.. But my Lg Optimus 3D fell from my ear and landed on concrete floor screen side down not a scratch on the screen. And it is not even Gorilla glass..

Even my brothers S2 fell a few times on our marble floor kitchen from the top of the fridge that is as tall as me.. And it's glass lived but the edge was a bit messed up.. But that was easy to fix another shell and it was fixed..

I do have a case and screen protector but this video has disappointed me in many ways...
[Galaxy S III General] hawkeye2188:
It was good testing, I wanted to know if they still turned on afterwards and what those effects would have been. However they could do the same three tests later in the day and Apple could take the beating, it all depends on how your phone drops/lands. I don't put too much weight into these tests, cause if you drop a phone from 5ft and up on concrete its going to take damage whether it be external or internal.
[Galaxy S III General] 1234568:
It's terrible testing. The degree of damage all depends on how the phone hits the floor, rather than from what height it falls. This is shown nicely by the S3 which was fine after the kids chucked it up, but was smashed when in slid off the car.

To get meaningful results you would have to do many repeats, grade the damage and average it. Of course, no one has enough money to do countless repeats, which is why these tests are always bull.
[Galaxy S III General] xperiax10.awesome:
Ignore this video...

Remember that iphone is the most fragile device.
[Galaxy S III General] nf0rc3r:
Its not even a test. Its just square trade's marketing campaign.
[Galaxy S III General] Chicken Nugget(s):
You guys do realise this is from the same people who did the GS2 vs iP4 drop test video?
[Galaxy S III General] vnamee:
It's probably not fair to compare 2 products when the angle at which it falls can't be controlled. However, does anyone else get a sense that these new devices are more fragile than their previous iterations? It was like impossible to destroy my Vibrant (couldn't even brick it). I wonder if the increased size/weight is responsible.
[Galaxy S III General] pnevroq:
Everything in this test is fair. The same test was with sgs 2 and I phone lost in every way. Just agree that sgs 3 is not that durable. And gorilla glass sucks.
[Galaxy S III General] Kur0saki:
The test procedure SUCKS *** how can it be a good test? when they are just throwing the phone randomely. If you are making a drop test the 2 phones should drop in the same way/angle/height and so on, to find out exactly how the 2 phones do in damage at the same place.
[Galaxy S III General] laztpn0i:
I think this is a good test. They are basically showing how the phone would be drop dropped NATURALLY! Or close to it as possible. Now they could have done a more complete test, dropping it on the sides, back, and screen, and so on. But that would require for them to get a whole bunch of the phones, and that is costly. So that in mind. I appreciate anyone that does these kind of tests for us to see.

Oh yeah...I will be putting a case on mine:)
[Galaxy S III General] gouldy26:
i think its fair to say, that the s3 is not as strong as the s2 is, the few tests/videos that have been posted imo confirm this

it could be as the glass is getting bigger, it also gets weaker, makes sense to me
[Galaxy S III General] abenn26:
What am I reading? This is a terrible test if what your going for is a scientific comparison between two devices. There are way too many variables! And just because they did the test before doesnt mean its valid. You could conduct those tests with two S3's and the results would be different from each other.

It's almost impossible to do this test in any type of economic fashion, you would have to make dummy S3's and iphone's with similar weight balance in the phone and load balance on the glass.

Most likely, thousands of tests have been done, both by samsung and apple, on both just the glass piece and dummy phones, in order to make sure that if your phone falls there will be a decent rate of recovery.
[Galaxy S III General] riz157:
I agree when you drop your phone you cant predict how its going to land. Except it fan boys the phone build is asking for trouble...what was that about inspired about nature designed for humans:rolleyes:....lol.

Hi there guys... I've been struggling with this now for weeks with my Xoom 3G. After I rooted to Team EOS ICS 1.0.0 Everest. I noticed that my 3G internet connection started giving problems. Browsing normal internet everything is fine, but when using apps like Drag Racing and most other apps that require internet access, it simply does not connect. After some research, I looked at my Status -> MDN which displays "Unknown". Now I'm not sure whether this is actually my problem, but as I connect to Wifi internet, all the apps perform correctly.

Another indication of this problem is when I open Google Play store, in normal 3g mode all the apps populate, but the images and screenshots are not loaded. But when I'm connected via Wifi, all the images and screenshots load.

Meanwhile, I've upgraded to Team EOS 2.0.0 and after that Team EOS Cornerstone Nightly v30 without any success.

Please, I don't know how to fix this, some help would be AWESOME! How can I fix this?
