[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Orbiting234:
Plenty of reviews online show that for you:

Only difference compared to all other GS3 models is that Sprint has their LTE SIM card embedded instead of accessable.

I didn't get my free 50gigs of dropbox? some where i read that sprint opted for this feature.

nevermind, it makes you do **** for it first.

My thoughts exactly. I bet "next week" means later in the week than I hope unfortunately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xtrezpasor:
What did you have to do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LordFuzzy024:
Got mine in Indiana.

Reporting from Indiana.

Got mine off the UPS truck 2 hours ago. Just got it charged and activated. Really smooth, ran into a little problem activating then realized my Sprint AirRave was interferring with the activation process. NOTE to all those with Sprint AirRaves. Turn them off while activating. Other than that everything went great.

Also you're going to want to disable the annoying blurp sound when touching the screen. It was driving me crazy during the setup. Found under Settings > Sounds > then Touch Sound option.

Sorry Epic 4G you were a good phone but all things must come to an end. :angel::angel::cool:

There is no way we are going to see our phones Monday. We will be lucky if Sprint receives them from Samsung on Monday.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] throwback1718:
Ehh just went to sprint store to see if they have it in so that I could fiddle with a display model. Both stores I went to said that GS3 is delayed till next week? I know most of you who pre ordered are gettin yours

But did Anyone else hear that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DJCharlieHood:
Time to uninstall UPS App.

Got my phn and shows out for delivery and no email update yet either. Smh.

I will be with you soon My lil Blue Twat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smark72:
yes. I called local store and they said the same thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mikiemon:
Due to the fact that this release is being controlled and closely monitored by Samsung, there will be no changing of the color names allowed. You have been warned! Oh, and enjoy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blackte4:
I can dream ...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
U should keep that dream to yourself
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coreyzw:
Well... this sucks...

Phones showed up, got 1 white 16 and 1 blue 16. The white came on fine, the blue has a terrible purple line down the side of the display. Then to boot... even though sprint's map shows perfect coverage at my house, we barely got 2 bars even outside on the porch. Inside we got 0. Called customer support and they pushed me to the order assistance group which tells me they can replace the blue one but it wont arrive till 3-5 days after the official release. I told them it wasnt even feasible to think that I should wait for it, but that I understood. More than likely due to the cell coverage, we will be returning our phones and they damn well better not charge us a dime.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:
I just hope next week means next week :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CapsLockKey:
If it's more than a week, Sprint better be throwin in some kind of "I'm Sorry" bonus in with the 32GB. Didn't they give free cases with the EVOLTE preorders for being late from the Apple/customs fiasco?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Magic Oreo:
apparently after having the phone for 2 hours, the internal memory is 100% full, dafuq is programdata and why is is 11.8gb big?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicholaaaas:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Magic Oreo:
yeah, its sad my 16gb phone only lets me store **** on 12gb of it.

11.8gb of that was i have no idea, but i deleted it.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yahknow1:
Don't cancel due to poor reception in your house. Tell the Rep on the phone the problem and ask for an Airrave. As long as you have decent internet connection at your home it will hook you up while your in your house. Sprint usually will give it to you free if you have poor reception and ask...nicely:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DJCharlieHood:
Are u serious? My service sucks at my house for years.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
yup ive got one ...... :cowboy:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] screwhead728:
I didn't even know what Airave was and I called Sprint one day complaining about the signal strength in my house and they told me they were going to send me a free airave at no cost, no monthly charge either. Now I have full bars signal inside my house.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Magic Oreo:
ouch, my screen is absolutely beautiful.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fatboypup:
and sprints happy cause you're not using their network anymore you're paying them and using VOIP on your isp its win win for them :angel:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yahknow1:
Yea, just ask nicely that you "heard about the Airrave" and they'll hook you up. They figure that's a lot better than losing your busness. BUT if you just call and say "I want an Airrave" they can try and charge you for it, you have to tell them its because you cant use the phone in your house

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Killa357:
True, which is why I wasn't really expecting much. Samsung probably upped production on the 16 expecting more of them to sell at the lower price. I will wait (somewhat) patiently.

yea I have always had zero bars at my house. Got an airave last year it's so good having full bars at home now :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] briefrelief:
Finally got my PB 16gb an hour or so ago. Messed around with an OTG cable that was made for the Galaxy S 2 and it works perfectly with the gs3! Here's a video showing the setup. It is the simplest thing to get setup, as all you have to do is plug it in and start using your peripherals.

[YOUTUBE]_SvRdTz9EV4[/YOUTUBE]

Also it seems that the cruzerlite case I ordered on amazon does not fit properly. The camera, speaker, flashlight and headphone jack are out of line and shifted to the right instead of centered. Guess I should have waited to see if there would be differences between the international and US version.

Edit: After a day of use, I noticed the case had actually fit properly over the phone. Seems that I made an error when putting it on and the case sorted out my stupidity on its own. Now that everything fits perfect I'm loving the case.

Well I think the heating issues are gone now.

I guess I can start posting things I don't like about touchwiz:

1. Can't hold onto drop down buttons (wifi, bt) to access it in settings I loved it in CM7 but guess cm didn't implement this feature.

2. Back cover is really slippery hopefully my phantomskinz will change that.

3. Home key is really hard to press for me I would've taken a capacitive button over it.

4. My pinky keeps going to the bottom of the device out of habit from holding the og evo and I'm feeling my right hand getting muscle cramps. Guess I'm gonna have to get used to holding this.

5. Smart stay doesn't always work.

6. Can't modify touchwiz.

Everything else about this phone is awesome.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6022/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review-att-and-tmobile-usa-variants/7

AnandTech measured the brightness in their review. Interestingly, there seems to be some manufacturing variation in the devices.

It's brighter than the GNex and GS2, but not as bright as the GS1/Nexus S, and half as bright as the HOX/EVO LTE.

Two quick questions before I order an SIII!

So, I recently looked into this SIII, and am loving it so far. I just had two questions before I start trying to make the purchase and hope y'all can help me out.

1. Are photos taken with the SIII embedded with geotags, or do you need an additional app for this to happen?

2. The SIII has a feature called 'Direct Call', which automatically dials the person you are texting if you lift the phone. Is there an option to disable this to prevent accidental dialing?

Thanks for any help you guys can shed on these questions about the SIII!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] archtech3d:
1. You can sort the photos the gallery by location... so it must be geotaged right?

2. Go to settings, motion to find the option to toggle on and off.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] logichack:
Clarification

One clarification: Would that disable all motion-based triggers, or is there an individual one for this auto-dial feature specifically?

Thanks for your help, archtech3d!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] archtech3d:
Sure thing.

Check mark for all motion controls on and off, then toggles for:

Direct Call

Smart Alert

Tap to top

Tilt to zoom

Pan to move icon

Pan to browse images

Shake to update

Turn over to mute/pause

Hand motions:

Palm swipe to capture

Palm touch to mute/pause (or the "shutup feature)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coreyzw:
Ok... so about the brightness.

Isnt it wierd that they include brightness controls seperate for different apps than the actual OS settings?

I changed the OS setting to manual/full bright and my screen kept dimming when I went to the browser. I figured out that in the browser settings, it had its own brightness controls that superseded the OS controls.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rgregg504:
My S2 did that also
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TJ311:
QUESTION:

Can you disable the shutter sound in the camera or is it like the S2 - LOUD and obnoxious? (I rooted my S2 specifically so that I could get rid of the shutter sound)

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tkemack:
Can't disable it but it's not near as bad as the S2. No focus sound just a very quick shutter. Of course our awesome devs will remedy that soon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtr145r:
Legally Samsung Can't disabled it.

In some states it's the law to have a shutter sound so people know their picture is being taken.

As much as I love my OG Epic 4g, I had to pull the trigger on this bad boy. Can't wait!!

No news on the Apple vs Samsung litigation that was going down today?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] qhinton:
I'm so sick of waiting I returned the Evo Lte for this phone. I can't wait until next Thursday; because Best Buy gave me an Optimus to use until it comes in and man.....man.....man... this is terrible. However I can appreciate a smaller phone now this thing is so easy to handle.

Anyways I have had every high end phone sprint has offered since the Pre and I can honestly say I'm genuinely interested in the GS3. Primarily for the battery + ram. The only Sammy's I have had were the Moment and Nexus s. Nexus S best phone I have had but dropped it in a hot tub and instead of paying 150 I chose to upgrade.

I see a lot of people debating on 16 or 32. How much stuff do you really need on your phone??? I use my phone primarily for work and music. 16 has been enough especially with Google music around. Watching movies give me a break there are tabs for that, unless I'm taking a trip I sometimes HDMI to my tv. Playing games come on that's funny; if you play that many games you have too much free time. Like I mess with Shadow Gun GTA3 and NBA jam but damn 16 or 11 is more then enough. I do own a 360 so gaming on the go is weak and doesn't provide the experience.

Back to the point I think this will be a good phone and challenge OEMS to improve software and the experience.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Devtodi:
Copy that. Buh bye Epic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] igotroot:
I have an Evo 3D and my screen acts up now and then. I'm leaning strongly towards the S3...I'm hoping the Sammy has a nice screen because I dislike the S2 screen. Colors look exaggerated.

I've been reading a lot of complaints about Samsung build quality with radios, etc. I will wait to see what XDA members say once we get them. I like the new evo but the non removable battery and 1gig of ram is almost a deal breaker. Not to mention HTC bootloaders always being locked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stonew5082:
kind of a dumb question, but I'll answer it anyway. I use a cowon j3 when I'm out and about, and other equipment when I'm at home, unless I'm unable to carry it (like in the summer with no bag) in which case I use the phone. there's only so many gadgets one can carry around in every circumstance. Surely this is obvious enough to not need to be explained.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Devtodi:
Not really, true audiophiles listen to music via analog and digital choices are always less desirable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stonew5082:
yes it is, because audiophiles listen to music from those sources you mentioned but when they aren't available they use the next best thing on hand and they want that thing to be of the highest quality possible, therefore the DAC matters to them. Therefore they may want a woflson chip in their phone, and voodoo sound, even though they have other equipment as well.

Which is really very, very obvious. But lets get back on topic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtafairlane:
Anyone else get an email from Sprint say the item is out of stock? Pre ordered on Sunday and got the email yesterday morning. I can't get it to copy and paste but basically says that they'll try and get it shipped out before the 21st and if not it'll ship as soon as it get to the warehouse.

I can almost say for certain that the Epic 4G Devs will eventually jump ship here. They asked us, the current Epic 4G users, what phone we were gna replace the Epic with. Most of the community responded with the S3, so this is where they will come, eventually. And let's just say, Team Epic is very talented. Can't wait to see their work on this device.
