[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
If you still holding on to 3gs, you will have the sgs3 with you when you get buried. It's a massive upgrade from that phone. My suggestions is that you get around and try one. The screen will be enormous when you are used to 3.5" . I always loved my iphone and it's a great phone but it's boring frankly . When your phone gets outdated and no more upgrades is available : you root. Cyanogenmod will make sure you are running latest software some years more.

I switched to an iphone 4 from my galaxy s2 because I missed the "smoothnes" but to my surprise it wasn't that smooth as I remembered .my sgs2 made stuff happen both smoother and faster so I had to switch back again, the sgs2 is a beast and still pretty future proof and sgs3 is that phone on steroids . I have had a lot of phones and tried a lot of different os, knowing now that no phone is perfect or close to bug free..this phone comes pretty ****ing close. It's The Hulk after you've made him really upset..like banging his girlfriend kind of upset.

Last, I welcome you to the world of android. Where you customize the phone to your needs, not settle or accept because it's restrictions .

You may miss iOS... all depends on what you are like as a person. Some people want to have a screen displaying a bunch of apps which they can launch. Simple, no fuss and it gets the job done. For simplicity iOS is a real winner.

Android has more options as I am sure you have heard. I look at this as a massive upside, others (like my mum) don't.

Whether you will miss iOS or not is such a personal thing that only you will know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starchini:
I've switched from the iPhone 3GS to the s3. Absolutely loving the android experience so far. I used iPhones since they were first released, and so this is my first Android experience.

Of course there is a learning curve, like with any new operating system. Everyday I'm finding out new things about what my phone can do. But as long as you have some patience the experience can be positive, exploratative one, rather than a negative, and frustrating one.

The only other thing I can think to mention is size. Handling the s3, after having only iPhones in the past is quite hilarious. It took me a while to adapt to the larger size, at first it felt quite cumbersome. However once your used to it, it's a pleasure to handle. I now get a rye smile on my face when I handle my wife's iPhone, because it feels so small and my hand looks giant.

To give you an impression on my current opinion here is my Facebook status from earlier today:

"apple will have to do something VERY special to ever make me use an iPhone ever again. So impressed with my S3 and a. Droid OS".

Hope this helps.

You should find out what the return policy is with your provider. As an example Verizon in the US has a no questions asked 14 day return policy and cancellation of contract. If it's the same with whomever you're with that should be plenty of time to figure out what you want.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
I can't answer most of your questions (it's down to taste, after all), but as for this one:

stock android ≈ jailbroken iphone

rooted android ≫ any iphone

For example, on stock android you can already use a custom keyboard (swype, swiftkey come to mind) or a custom launcher (e.g. launcher7 for a windows 7 type "home screen", apex or nova for general improvements on stock, or even espier launcher for an iphone clone). And, of course, you can side-load apps.

With a rooted android, you can replace the rom/kernel itself.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] <<Raj$>>:
For sure you wouldn't miss anything with regards to the Apps. All are Same and will appear better in a bigger HD Screen. :eek::eek::eek:

You can never go back to iOS after using a great Android device unless you are forced to like I am from my work place phone with iP4S. Galaxy mini doesn't do any justice compared to any device ! Do not consider it.

Regarding the resale value of the device after its life time is a tricky question in current situation. Truly speaking a used 3GS now sells 2 times than the SGS and same goes with the iPhone 4 vs SGS2, at-least in Singapore its like that.

I currently use SGS3 and iP4S (Work Phone) and I can understand what you are saying, apple is still stuck with the same UI for the last half a decade and things are too complicated to do with iOS, example to switch on or off wifi/bluetooth /etc.. it takes like 7+ clicks and few scrolls which can be done in just 1 scroll and 1 click in Android ! Its that simple.

For sure you will be pleased and love Android like I did when I came from iOS. Point to be noted is, my complain is only about the ****ty iOS that is stuck with the same look and feel for long long time and not about the Hardware :). I still consider iPhone 4/4S hardware as one of the best leaving out the tiny display :D:D

My Advice : Do not get addicted to flash ROMs every other day and become a flasaholic. The Stock ROM in SGS3 is super perfect that can run just fine any time than its predecessors.

Welcome to Android. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagis2k:
Well i went from an iPhone4 (32GB) to a Samsung Galaxy S3 and i must admit that i didn't do a bad choice it is so much better compared to the iPhone, i think it is a great upgrade had mine for 4 days soon and i love it.

Backsides of apple:

Unable to use the devide freely as you like to, and it is a closed operation system

to gain something out of it you have to jailbreak it, hated the iTuned and everything that begun with iXXXXX nothing bad about mac computers but that phone sucks.

What i liked about apple: was back in 2010 the retina display which still is pretty amazing and how many apps there is availble but it stops there.

The Samsung:

I like: the big 1280x720 hd ready amoled display and the real BLACK! i like the quick response from the UI (compared to the slow/lagging iPhone especially if you had 1500 pics/videos it got so slow) the freedom of being able to use the phone more freely and it is open source operation system and loads more it is worth every single $

Dislike: The limitations of the camera app, like below 15% you can not start the camera and if your in a call which i am often longer then 15-30min then you might

want to be able to use the camera if im in a call.

And what i hated the most about the iPhone is the antennas on the outside that meant if i held the phone in my left hand i lost the reception! and real issues with bluetooth.

So go and grab your self a new samsung handset you will not get disappointed! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jikul:
This is some superb feedback, thank you very much! :D

This is really something I am looking for. iOS just makes me do too many steps to accomplish some very simple tasks.

I like having options. Not having much options is what is making me change my mind. My phone is jailbroken, but still...

It does help, thank you. Some days ago I went to a phone shop to see some Android devices up close and specially to check if the bigger size would be a problem. Well, it's not. I have big hands and only the Galaxy Note felt cumbersome. Everything else was fine, specially the HTC One X whose size I find perfect to my hands. The S3 seems to be about the same.

This is some excellent advice that I hadn't remembered before. After reading your post I checked with my provider and was happy to know that they have a 30 day return policy, no questions asked. This is fantastic for someone like me, who needs to use the device for some time in order to know if it's the right thing for me. Thanks! :D

Rooting is something I may look into in the future. I feel like I need to get my head around the android for a few months, and then... puf, maybe root the thing to get even more out of it. My iphone knows I did this very same thing with it.

Thanks! About the apps, I always had this feeling that android apps were ugly. Now I'm starting to see some truly beautifully designed apps, which makes me happy. I like pretty stuff.

The resale value is one thing I always liked about Apple. Somehow I can sell my current used iphone for about 200€, when I payed 250€ for it 18 months ago, used but as new.

I'm totally with you on this, I hate the damn itunes. It may be great on macs, but on windows? jeez, stupid, ugly thing. If I'm really going Android, something I'm really going to be happy about is finally getting rid of itunes.

This feedback has been great and I have to thank you all. I'd like to hear some negative feedback, something like "oh I had an iphone and got an S3 and I don't like it because of this and that" but, given how this is an android forum, I may not get something like that.

Anyway, for those who are interested, I'll make my decision on the 11th and, upon finally making the purchase, I'll keep updating this topic with my personal experiences. I feel it may be useful for the potential ios-traitors... which is something I am about to become. ahah ;)
[HTC One S] TricE:
Hello,

i dont know, if i am here in the right section, but have a custom om flashed (CM9) and i dont like the camera app which is included, so i want the original cam app for the one s.

Is there a possibility to "cut it out" from the riginal rom, and install it on the custom rom?
[HTC One S] jriv:
Nope different framework your best bet is to find something in the market that u like

sent from a guy living in a van down by the river
[HTC One S] Orical:
Actually it worked on the mt4g but you had to extract the app and the framework and create a zip to flash. The problem is the kernel and if it's written into it.
[HTC One S] TricE:
thanks for fast answer. then it is better, to ask the developer of the custom rom. cant find in the market an app, where the shutter is so fast as at the oem cam app
[HTC One S] familiarstranger:
man i would love to see the sense camera on CM9. I love CM, but I do really love the stock camera.
[HTC One S] wrickwrackwruck:
+1 for that!!

I would love CM or AOKP but with the stock camera!

they can aosp theme the shutter button logo if they want :p

I recommend Venasaur though. Its awesome.

It's apparently in your smart settings or whatever area where you can set data limits for the device. Press the menu button while in there and you should be able to get extra options.

You want to make sure background data isn't restricted generally, and only turn it off on apps that are eating up your data if you're not on Unlimited.

[Nook Touch General] Martin-Doc:
Hi, I am from Czech republic and recently purchased a Nook Simple Touch. I am a medical student and would like to root my device, to obtain a nice .pdf and .ppt viewing functionality. I am pretty much a noob in stuff like rooting, therefore I read a quantum of threads on this forum. But i did not find an answer to this question:

Is it possible to root the NST with MIUI Rom?

On the MIUI official pages, I found the Nook Color in the list of supported devices. That is why I think it could be possible, with a little effort. Is this possible, and moreover, has anybody done this?

Thank you
[HTC Sensation] mkzak78:
Hello All,

I just want to ask regarding my phone mic not working.

I tested just now with camcorder apps. When I start record something with sound and other background noise, then I played the record - all the sound seems working fine. So, I assume the phone mic is working.

But, when I tried to make calls, people not hearing my voice. I tried to used voice recorder and tried to play it again, still no sound being records. I even tried to use google voice, also no sound being pick-up.

My question are why using camcorder apps can pick-up the voice or background sound, but, voice recorder, call to other and google voice cannot listen to any voice I made?

Any suggestion or explanation is really appreciated.

Thanks in advance for all the help...

Notes: I am now in Revolution XE with audio beats Rom... Have test with all revolution ROM, and still have the phone mic problem.
[HTC Sensation] flano11:
+1. Exact same problem here - been flashing ARHD Roms for over 6 months no dramas, then somewhere in the last month this occurred to me as well.

I have tried nandroid backups, full wipes and reflashes, various roms, sense 3.6, 4 and vanilla to no avail! I know the some of the cyanogen chefs have been having audio routing issues - but even in the supposedly fixed versions I still get the same problem. The best I've done so far, and after numerous voicemails to myself, is get it to a point where headphones with a Mic will work. When I answer a call the loudspeaker Mic activates, so I sound really distant, but if I talk into the back of the phone (directly into the Mic) its better, but I cannot hear them. When I activate loudspeaker neither Mic works

I'm back on ARHD 6.6.7 but now, and not even headphone Mic's work. I've tried flashing volume boost zips, beats zips, vol+ from the market - nothing! I've even gone back to a branded (Telstra Aus) Rom someone posted (based off an ICS, but not official) and nothing! I would brand it back up and call it a warranty job (even though its a software problem, not hardware) but I'm just out of warranty. Somebody plz help!
[HTC Sensation] bosslabs:
I have had this issue too on all roms except inser coin. Try flashing insert coin sense 3.6 Rom to see if the mic is back.
[HTC Sensation] sonnhy:
I am on MIUI 2.5.18 and the headphone aren't know by the phone as a microphone too.. I want to know if there is a mod to fix this problem.. thanks
[HTC Sensation] flano11:
mkzak78 - Just found your posts in the ARHD thread - it seems we are having the exact same problem, which makes me think its software, not hardware. That and the fact that the loudspeaker mic works fine to record video, but nothing else!

My understanding is that when we flash custom roms, not all files are replaced - only those which need to change for the new rom to work - this allows the roms to be smaller in size. For instance I put a custom splash screen on my phone when I first got it, and through every wipe and flash, it remains the same. Things such as the microphone settings/drivers wouldn't need to change between roms, so perhaps they are not included in the roms? somewhere along the line one of these files has been changed, but it is not being fixed as the rom's we keep flashing don't include them.

I'm wondering if its possible for somebody without this problem to upload a nandroid backup, which I believe includes everything. if we could restore that, it should fix it. Whether or not a nandroid file can be flashed to a different phone however I'm not sure.

Can anyone provide some advice on whether this is correct, or help us out? My previously awesome phone is now a very fancy paperweight if it can't be used to make calls - I'm desperate!

[MOD] Digital Clock FULLY TRANSPARENT - AccuWeater Widget TOTALLY&SEMI-TRANSPARENT!!!

HI GUYS ;):D...I am Tuqano.....If I do something wrong, I apologize in advance :).....

I am a novice in this field, and I decided to start with a simple thing, so I created a completely transparent version of AccuWeather.....it is very easy to install, here's the procedure:

1. Remove the AccuWeather widget that you have, possibly, in the home.

2. Using RootExplore, go to: system> app> look for "SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk"

3. Make a backup of "SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk" (add ".bak" to "SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk")

4. Still using RootExplorer, copy the file you downloaded (AccuWeather Totally Transparent) in the folder: system> app.

5. After copying the files, set permissions rw-r--r--.

6. Now enjoy the new widget, COMPLETELY TRANSPARENT!! :cool:​

Here the screenshoots....
