Found out that, Samsung Galaxy S have the Tv out options.

so we can watch movie on a bigger screen

All you need is the appropriate cable, which goes from the 3.5 mm jack to the standard AV ports on your television.

That Samsung Galaxy S have!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rajendrakumardbg:
No it goes from your micro usb to HDMI through MHL cable...but you need to confirm if the kernel that you are using supports the same apart from the phone itself....

i just want to connect the 3,5mm jack cable to tv red white yellow port

Just like N900, Samsung S, make life easier
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] white_android:
Its only been 2 weeks since I got my S3 and I am facing too many problems.

1. The touch screen was super smooth and responsive for the first week but that has changed. Its been a week since I am facing a strange problem where my S3 screen becomes sticky, causing too much friction between my fingers and the screen and making the phone unusable. I have tried cleaning the screen with a microfiber cloth. The screen becomes smooth for a minute or two after cleaning but goes back to being sticky. If I put the phone to sleep and look at the display under bright light, I can see a lot of smudges on the screen that almost look like scratches. Although, cleaning the screen with the microfiber makes the smudges and scratches go away.

2. The back case on the S3 has already got scratches even though I use it with a lot of care. I always keep the microfiber cloth below my S3 when I place it on a surface. The only time my S3 is unprotected is when it is in my pocket. I always face the screen of my S3 inwards. The insides of my pockets are made of soft cloth so I don't see how they can cause any scratches. I always thought the S3 would have a scratch resistant back cover. Something like the one on S2.

3. The battery life on my S3 is very low. I charge my phone to 100 percent and I never charge it until the battery is as low as 1 % allowing the battery to discharge completely. Even then, I find myself running for the charger every 6 - 8 hours.

I am feeling a little disappointed since I expected the S3 to be a phone with solid build quality. Has anyone face the sticky touch screen problem on any of their phones? I desperately need a solution since the touch screen is the only way I can interact with the phone.

You're the only one then. I've had my phone since 25th MAY. My LG O3D required twice charging in a day and SIII with more apps / widgets running requires charge after 24 hours on average use.

I can defintly confirm the Scratches on the back, well mine are like little tiny dots, the white on the front of the phone is clearly a different material to the back very poor.

The way i see it is the back is replaceable and i'm awaiting a case anyway, but for people not wanting to use cases the back at this rate will be black by time contracts run out!

I'm starting to have an issue when i lose all sounds until about 1min it sorts itself out, i hope this is just a bug which can be fixed and not some hardware issue!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johku12:
The screen has coating wich stops grease from fingers to stay on screen. The smudges are "scratches" on the coating and thats why those go away. Once the coating is gone the gorilla glass resists scratches. For the back cover, you really can't prevent scratches on plastic. Your battery sucks as mine lasts one day always.

For someone who said that front and back are different materials. Of course those are different since the whole front is glass..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMvp:
1. Never had any problems with the touch screen. Had mine for 2 weeks now, and still works as the first day i had it.

2. Yea i have one scratch already, but i probably havent taken as much care protecting the phone as i should have. Dropped it a few times, and i dont use cover (never understood the reason to buy a phone cover).

3. Not quite sure on the battery, i charge mine at work and, at home, but the few times i have tried to use it untill it hit 1-2% i think it lasted about a day with average/high use, and perhaps 1-2 days with average use. Yea its not that specific, but i'm rarely without a USB cable, so battery isent that important to me.

I'd look into getting it replaced, sounds like a faulty unit to me.

Hey guys! I'm new to xda but have been lurking for a while =) I got a SGS3 Marble White version and I can confirm I have a hairline crack around the camera "hole" after minimum use for 1 week. Do you guys think this will turn into a big problem? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervin10:
From the three issues that the OP is having, I am experiencing the first one. This issue with the smudges on the screen that look like scratches. I am not sure if this is the way the phone is made with the oleophobic coating or what. But it is kinda annoying, was thinking to see if Expansys would consider this as a defect because I've only have had the phone for 2 days. But if most people that have the phone are experiencing this issue, it could be a design choice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] white_android:
Thank you for all the replies.

I ran a series of tests after I created this thread and the results are as follows:-

1. I asked 10 people to use my phone without informing them about the sticky screen problem. 9/10 people said that my screen was sticky and was catching a lot of grip. The funny part is that the touch screen on my phone is super smooth at this very moment. I am sure this is only temporary and the screen will become sticky again. This happens a lot. The screen becomes sticky on its own will and comes back to being normal randomly. Does anyone think that a screen protector will solve this problem? If yes, which one are you using?

2. I have ordered the Tridea SF coating case and I am waiting for it to be delivered to me. Meanwhile, the back cover on my phone has developed tiny dots and scratches which are easily visible.

3. I have attached my battery usage screen shots with this post. Can someone analyze the battery statistics and tell me whether my battery is doing well? I ran 2 tests which are as follows : -

3a. The first test was done by turning on the phone in power-saving mode. The phone lasted for a good 17 hours on heavy usage that included web browsing and downloading through wifi, watching downloaded videos, playing games,etc. Note that I slept for 7 hours during this test so it would be safe to say that the phone lasted me for 10 hours of heavy usage on power-saving mode.

3b. The second test was done by turning off power-saving mode. The phone lasted for 7 hours on heavy usage that mostly included playing games and web browsing. I slept for an hour during this test so its safe to say that the phone lasted me for 6 hours of heavy usage with power-saving mode turned off.

I am starting to get a little irritated because of the scratches on the back cover and a screen that has mood swings. I am not even sure if my battery is doing well. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewtst:
I think your hand is too dirty, or somehow it is sensitive to that coating for using it.

Definitely no touch screen issue & battery life issue for me. In-fact this new coating make me happy as it give me great finger print less on screen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] white_android:
I wash my hands thoroughly before touching the phone. I wouldn't want to spoil such an expensive peace of art, would I? ;)

Can you take a look at my battery usage screen shots and tell me if the battery is doing ok? The first pair is on power-saving mode and the next pair is without power saving mode.

always someone with problems it happens to iphones samsung lg nexus every phone got problems for some people.. This phone has been great to me so far no complaints whatsoever except for the battery at first but after few charging cycles it lasts longer now...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
Just in relation to your battery charging issues. I'm no expert but I've always been led to believe that you should NEVER fully discharge new phone batteries as it damages them more than incremental charges. Something to do with the materials used in the batteries but I followed that advice with my S2 and after about a week of charging whenever was convenient, I noticed my battery life started to last longer and longer. (also because I was charging more often - but that's besides the point as I'd notice it go from 99 - 90 and then suddenly 99 - 96 in the same time frame and use patterns)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] white_android:
I agree with you on the battery discharging part. Li-Ion batteries should never be discharged completely. I was tempted to see my battery usage from 100 to 0. :)

Can someone analyze my battery stats and tell me how its doing? ;(. Also anyone think I should go for a screen protector?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctai320:
You have to post the time usages too. Post your on screen time and the amount of time you're playing the game for. The S3 gets about 5 hours of on screen time. If you're playing that game for like 3 hours and using the phone for like 2, or would make sense why your battery lasts only 7 hours.

as for your screen problem, maybe you got a faulty unit.sounds like the coating wasn't put on correctly or something

Galaxy S3 scratches

Is Gorilla Glass 2 really any stronger than cling film ???

---------- Post added at 02:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:25 PM ----------

Like you I also have a couple of minor marks on my screen.

I havelooked after my phone rigidly, ensuring it is not anywhere close to anything that could scratch it.

THe only time the phone wasn't in a known place is when Vodaphone did the data transfer behind closed doors on a busy sunday when I bought it. I didn't check the phone over as I had no reason to see if it could be scratched! but within 2 weeks of getting the phone I noticed these scratches albeit very small but still visible.

If you watch the corning product videos, then this phone would be ideal for use in afghanistan as a shield from mortar attacks ! but obviously not protected against pockets of new trousers and fingers !

I have called samsung and they are not too interested, they say they have no notification of manufacturing defects from taiwan (or wherever)

I can send my phone into them, and they will check it out, but not sure if all it would do for me is to be without my phone for 10 days without resolution.

Have you progressed this any further? what are you going to do about your scratches ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yznhmr:
hd my phone for 2 weeks, and already have a scratch on the screen..(have not dropped or anything yet) I have had 4 HTC phones in the past, and NEVER had a scratched screen.. dropped on concrete, skidded across parking lot.. no scratch.. i think this screen is not as good as HTC screens.. (PISSED)

Try "better battery stats" Google it. But your battery looks normal to me.

Gorilla glass can not be scratched(yes i know), but again i have really tried with mine(fully insured) and its impossible.

to OP, the sticky screen that really puzzles me.something is wrong take it back.

when does it occur?.when its hot outside, high humidity.

No I'm not, if u can scratch it it's faulty. This is my 5th phone with gorilla glass and never had a scratch,i have broken it.but scratches,never and I've tried....really tried.

If it is scratched,go to the store and demand(nicely) they change the glass(and digitizer they are glued)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yznhmr:
Well.. ill try that.. but it is scratched.. as stated.. I have had 4 diff HTC phones over the last 7 years, and never had a scratch.. Im guessing Verizon is going to tell me tough crap..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yznhmr:
Verizon said TOUGH.. can buy a new glass for $25 but i think I might break the digitizer while trying to change just the glass.. the glass with digitizer is like $200-250
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Sorry for u.

But what a crappy store u can not change the glass alone,it is glued to the digitizer and can not be separated.so offering u to purchase front glass is stupid.shows how much they know.

But I've heard of other to with scratched glass and most of them are white.mine is more gray'ish and solid as a rock.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I'm two weeks late to the thread, but the problems seem preventable with a screen protector and a thin TPU case. And it is very inadvisable to let lithium ion battery drain completely before charging, that is how to kill the battery fast. Please read up on "how to preserve lithium ion battery life".

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bagulhodoido:
I agree with the battery life issue.

When people say their batteries last for a day, it means 24 hours, or 16 hours, so the rest of the time would be charging while sleeping?

Using moderately, my battery do not last longer than 17 hours. But to get to that point, I had to turn blueetoth (I'm driving most of the day, so hands free is a need to me) and Data + Sync off. So, no email notifications, or hands-free to me, or else I would be having the same 8-10 hours usage you do.

I heard people say their S3 batteries last for even 3 whole days with little use. That would be nice, right. I haven't seen any screenshot of such a battery performance yet.

My Battery life has been great. The only issue I have that you mentioned is the kinda sticky screen that doesnt bother me much.

Guys, noob here, signed up especially to ask this question so hope someone can help me out. Done a search and couldn't find anything. If there's another thread that covers this, feel free to point me in the direction of it. So I got my Galaxy 3 just under 3 months ago, and while it looked like a 500 pound phone, it looks distinctly shabby now. I have problems with lint in the gap between the screen and the casing. Whereas it was relatively straight forward to remove that on other phones, with an edge of a piece of paper, the way the screen is on the Galaxy means I end up pushing it in further, rather than scraping it out. Also, the Galaxy is the first phone I've used a screen protector and a protective back on my phone. How long should I use my screen protector before replacing it? Mine has a couple of tears, and I can't seem to clean it with the cloth (the type of cloth that you use on your glasses) any more. Also, same goes for the back of my phone, no matter how much I clean with the cloth, it still seems smudged and with a ton of fingerprints all over it, while when I got it, it was very easier to wipe clean. Also, would cleaning wipes be okay to use on my phone? I've used them on previous phones, but I'm a bit reluctant to use them on an item that cost me half a grand! Thanks for anybody who helps me! I know a slightly dirty phone isn't the end of the world, but it is quite annoying to me.

Stickyness only on S3, not on S2

I have both an S3 and an S2. I do not have the stikyness issue on my S2.

A week ago I bought a second hand S3. When using both phones side-by-side the problem is absolutely obvious, and it realy bothers me because I'm used to a slick, smooth screen. One of the places where it is most aparent is when giving the pattern unlock - on the S3 I often have to try 2 or three times because I miss-a-dot. I use the same familiar pattern on both.

I used to have a good quality screen guard on my S2, but I removed that one day when there was something funny going on with the S2 and it bacame unresponsive. Eventually I ripped off the screen protector in order to eliminate it as causing the problem but it did not help at all. A day or so later the problem disappeared of its own accord, and never came back (4 months back)

If this is some kind of coating that has worn off on the S3 - it was claimed to be about a month old when it was bought - then the solution is simple - I'll put a good quality screen protector on it.

I was honestly realy pleasantly surprised that the screen protector I had had on the S2 didn't seem to affect my ability to use the phone - it was always smooth and responsive (except for that one day), so I actualy regret taking the screen protector off of that phone.

The S2 is now my "experimentation" phone, a platform on which I plan to play with alternate ROMs and the like.

FWIW I use high quality screen protectors, and I like to have a thick, soft, rubber padded cover that will absorb impacts and importantly is not smooth so that the phone won't slip form my hands. (I have only dropped the S2 once, form about knee-height, and that was because I was getting into the car with too many things in my hands. I have touch-wood-never dropped the S3. I do not have any real scratches on either phone, but I will later look carfully for fine scratches as reported by other posters in this thread)

Hi!

First, try to clean the screen with ethanol,spirit(-us) or washing petrol. I recommend spirit(-us)... I have had tried because I had sticky oil on my touchscreen, cause I oiled something on my car.

Try to clean it with kitchenpaper, toiletpaper or something like that. Then, all sticky can be away...
