[Galaxy S III General] airerik:
I just pre-ordered at a BB store yesterday for Sprint. I was late on this boat, and didn't know anything about supply issues. They told me they can match prices of any place that has a retail store (even Sprint retail stores), as long as they have it in stock. So, it may be tough to price match for a week or two. If the manager is nice, maybe they will do it so I don't have to go back in a week or two. I'll be calling them soon to see if they know anything about when the stock is coming in.
[Galaxy S III General] jblazea50:
Where is MD are you from? I'm near University of MD College Park. I didn't pre-order, maybe I'll just take my chances tomorrow when the store opens.
[Galaxy S III General] screwhead728:
I went to the Best Buy store to pre-order the SGS3 today in the morning, and I received a $50 gift card after giving the $50 for deposit. So when I go back to pick up my phone I tell them I signed up for the phone freedom and they will give me another $50? Is that what you are saying? Cause if it's like that, I'll be happy!
[Galaxy S III General] cbond007:
I called Annapolis Mall BBM
[Galaxy S III General] phantomevo77:
As long as you did in fact sign up for PF. Then yes.
[Galaxy S III General] airerik:
Just spoke with BB in CA and they said: "We don't have them in now and haven't received them today, and we have not heard any news otherwise. You will receive an e-mail as soon as it is in the store." So they still think they will receive them tomorrow. This is for Sprint.
[Galaxy S III General] phantomevo77:
I'm guessing most stores are getting them tomorrow morning... Just like the Evo LTE(Pre order launch) and iPhone 4s launch.
[Galaxy S III General] Tkdawg22:
My local Best Buy is clueless. He said Verizon would be getting theirs tomorrow and no date for Sprint. He also said since I pre ordered, my name would be on it for 30 days. Both of which we know is not true.
[Galaxy S III General] overlord727:
The BB in Columbia/Elkridge, MD also had some sprint preorders. I have a few friends that work there (being a former employee myself)
[Galaxy S III General] DroidRC1:
So I was just told that I only have 14 days to exchange for a SGSlll..is this true?
[Galaxy S III General] phantomevo77:
Rofl... Guy was way clueless.
[Galaxy S III General] ImaWinRAR:
you have 14 days to return for a full refund and you have 30 days to exchange for a different phone. (i'm on day 24 with my Evo 4g LTE and i preordered the s3)
[Galaxy S III General] DroidRC1:
I hope so cause tomorrow will be my 14th day
[Galaxy S III General] pdubcramp:
And now 60 days if you're a Silver Rewards member for an exchange.
[Galaxy S III General] tommydaniel:
Same with the Best Buy store I pre-ordered from. Completely clueless on what's going on.
[Galaxy S III General] lepapirriky:
I'm sorry for the noob question but what is the phone freedom?
[Galaxy S III General] airerik:
I hope BB is getting them. It would be contrary to what Sprint said. The best buy I checked with has no update whether they aren't getting it for a while, or they are getting it tomorrow.
[Galaxy S III General] XxAndroid:
I just called the best buy I pre ordered from and they have no update. The rep said only thing there aware of is the 21st date.
[Galaxy S III General] tommydaniel:
It's something you had to sign up for months ago, it entitled you to a $50 giftcard when you upgraded your phone at BestBuy.
[Galaxy S III General] am1640:
if you guys have no way of tracking it, how do you know if someone signed up for Phone Freedom or not?
[Galaxy S III General] Bizdady:
Think they call it in to find out.
[Galaxy S III General] am1640:
he said that's after the fact, but if you tell them before they start the activation they give you the credit. So if you didn't sign up for PF and just say you did at the start of your activation does that mean they just give you the credit because they assume you did?
[Galaxy S III General] mehal88:

I do not want to burst anyone's bubble but I called BB wireless today and they confirmed that their release date for the S3 is pushed to the 28th .... :( I hope someone can discredit this information! ...
[Galaxy S III General] cent_0_o:
I've been hearing a lot of on or before the 28th. That could mean anything. Still got my hopes up.
[Galaxy S III General] Bizdady:
On the bright side I did get my screen protectors in today :( lol

Hope they upgrade the shipping at least if they do get delayed to next week.
[Galaxy S III General] garyd9:
Just called the local best buy (0825) I pre-ordered my blue AT&T sgs3 from and they told me that the still don't have any of them for the preorders, and have no idea if they'll be getting any tomorrow or not.

Tomorrow should be interesting.

[Galaxy S III General] qhinton:
Im thinking people are calling best buy for certain carriers and they are getting confused. Like Sprint is suppose to be the 21 Tmobile and Att the 28 VZW the 10th. So it would be helpful if people mention what carrier they have.
[Galaxy S III General] KryptosXLayer2:
Stopped in to a Best Buy Mobile store and then an actual Best Buy today to check and see if they had arrived.... BBM said nope, might be tomorrow, we have no idea, actual BB went one step further and looked up some info for me, here's the crazy part:

The AT&T SAMSUNG GALAXY S III MARBLE WHITE, SKU: 5606803, that I ordered, is not showing up on the BB system, which it does IF the device has shipped out to the stores (so I'm being told by the rep, don't flame me if it isn't true, just say that's not true). The 5717371 and 5717486 SKUs for the Sprint SIII phones, in blue and white respectively, ARE showing up in the system, and may have already shipped, which coincides with the GBM article. Here's a link for the AT&T and Sprint SIII SKUs - clicky

I'm going to wait for the word from BB and head over there to get it when I hear from them.... They had no clue about accessories, I'm looking for the car dock the most, and said they may show up with the release, they may be months away! This is insanity, no one knows anything about arrival dates on anything....

Yeah, that's about as likely as people filling in their details about where they live when they say they have bad reception or at least what country they're in when they say they received their phone! I hear ya on that, but no one does it for some reason or another
[Galaxy S III General] qhinton:

Guys i made my own thread on my forum why to buy HOX and not gs3 and i like to share it.

http://www.forumhookers.com/topic/1192-why-to-buy-htc-one-x-over-samsung-galaxy-s3/
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
I am on Stock Rom (Forgot to mention this)

I average about 3.30 hours of screen time with my settings everyday, today I had 4.30 hours, 1.4 Internet surfing, 30 min voice calls, and 12 hours of wifi, total time 22.54 hours.

This is my best so far: http://xdaforums.com/show...79392&page=114 (I think I can reach better results :) (Have better average results now)

Also please feel free to share your settings.

My settings:

Unlocked and rooted.

LED Notifications off (except for SMS).

Fastboot in power settings unticket.

Sound Settings - Turned sensors Off: Quiet ring on pick up, Pocket mode, Flip for speaker.

Brightness Control using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...rightnesslevel (I mostly leave it at 15% its more than enough for my vision at least, then if out and its really sunny I just switch to 50% its a widget so its easy to use).

All vibration settings,haptic feedback and stuff off(except for phone calls).

All auto-sync off (everything updates when you enter it like email and weather and others so no need to be on).

All animations Off (you won't notice any difference after awhile so it might as well be off).

Phone dial,keyboard and other tones off.

In developer options-> Background process limit set to 3. (Reverts after reboot/restart)

Using Core Control, can be found here (Must be rooted) http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1652136 and I have it set to 2 cores. (Reverts after reboot/restart)

Have the backlights on the 3 capacitive buttons on the bottom off at all times using Tasker using a mod made by backfromthestorm, credits go to him and nobnut, mod can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/show...1657619&page=3 (Reverts after reboot/restart).

Another mod from backfromthestorm (which can be found in the link above aswell)is better multi-tasking which changes the values in sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree file to 1536,2048,3584,5120,15360,20480, I set the values using Tasker. (Reverts after reboot/restart).

Another thing I do before going to sleep or not going to use the phone for a few hours is I use the built in app Task Manager's and kill all tasks and then turn the screen off, by doing this I have noticed that battery percentage doesn't mysteriously drop without using it.

Can't remember what other settings I may have at the moment but will add if memory allows :)

I have frozen the following apps and others:

I thought this way would be quicker and easier, I hope at least :) excuse my laziness otherwise :D

Thanks for all the tweaks, I have never had more than 2.5 hour screen time. Ill shall now use some of your settings to mix my own frozen yogurt (edit Ice Cream yogurt) . So far CM9 seems to be my bag, but I bought the phone for the camera...
[HTC One X] Meltus:
Very useful thread, thanks :)

Just one thing though, the LEDs used for the LED Notifications use so little power that you can leave them enabled and it will drain next to no power at all! Not sure about the capacitive LEDs though, I can't imagine they use much power either! :D
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
You are welcome, yeah I know that the LEDs may not save much battery at all but one thing I like about the capacitive lights is that I have the options as widget shortcuts on my screen so I can turn them on when I feel like I need them, but most of the time I keep them off :)
[HTC One X] Johnny0906:
You are welcome and I hope it helps.

Hi community,

Since there was a ... car accident, my xperia arc s phone was damaged badly, firstly the whole display got was broken ive found a display and fixed it, but then i realized that there were two other problems with the phone one was broken lens of the camera and the loudspeaker problem which buzzes at higher volume rates

I tried to tell the camera experts but theyve told that the phone camera lens can't or though they cant replace the lens itself, and loudspeaker i didnt try to get it fixed yet

So i dont know what to do now ((

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
I have spent countless hours setting up my Atrix and am a little nervous about the upgrade to ICS. Here are my concerns:

1. As far as speed and resources will the phone's performance be better or worse with ICS?

2. I realize that once updated with OTA there is no going back. Right now I am only rooted and can hide the root when ICS OTA arrives if necessary. I understand that you must unlock the bootloader to do a nandroid backup? and once that is done it is irreversible and then you cannot do the OTA update? I do not want to use any other ROMs. So you cannot do a nandroid (or full rom) backup and still get the ICS OTA upgrade...is that correct? Likewise is it correct that if for some reason I do not like te ICS upgrade there is no way to go back to gingerbread?

My Atrix preforms reasonably well. So I have good reason to back it up and also have reason to want the ICS upgrade. I use Launcher Pro and i assume I will have to find another launcher (one that lets me up the resolution) and then reset up all the circlelauncher icons and widgets since Launcher Pro does not work with ICS.

Any info and comments appreciated!

thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
We wont know for sure about its performance until it's out, but in theory it should be faster. One of ICS's under-the-hood features is system wide GPU hardware acceleration which should result in a huge increase in UI smoothness (think scrolling in lists or zooming in the browser). If CM9 on the Atrix is any indication, it should still be plenty fast.

As far as nandroid backups, yes, you need to unlock your bootloader. And once you do, it's unwise to run an OTA because you run the risk of a hard brick. You can still get updates though, in the form of fruitcakes. Fruitcakes are clockworkmod flashable versions of official OTAs and are availible in the dev section, it shouldnt take long after the OTA is out for a fruitcake to be made from it.

For ICS launchers, check out Apex and Nova. Both are pretty good.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LavLab:
You won't want to go back to gingerbread after trying ICS, believe me. Apex launcher is a good one for ICS. Others like Xperia launcher.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
yes!

Very interesting guys. I am seriously looking at the Galaxy S3 with its 2 gigs of ram and big screen. Not sure what to do but i may wait to see what ICS does for the Atrix and I never buy anything without holding it first :). Anyway thanks for this info. I'll check out those launchers too.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
By the way as far as other phones, I am just looking. The Atrix really serves me well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LavLab:
yeah, in my opinion the Atrix 4g still holds it's own very well!:D
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panflute:
Launcher Pro with ICS

That's interesting that Launcher Pro works with ICS especially since it hasn't been updated in a very long time. Hopefully, the resizing (resolution) function also works?? I run my screens at 6 x 6 icons so the launcher's ability to adjust the resolution within ICS is my primary concern. Hopefully ICS upgrade will be upon us very soon.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 14themoney24theshow:
Hi, While I'm new to flashing ROM's and modding my Atrix. I decided to flash an ICS rom. AOKPCB (Minus the CB theming I love it.). I'm not sure Motoblurified ICS is worth much.

Best bet: Root, Unlock & Flash an ICS rom (after heavy research).

Hope this helps!

This ICS rom so far has outperformed anything I've used prior.....keeping in mind I believe it is still in beta.
