Even if I was a shill, what does it matter? :cowboy: I've emailed and posted to their facebook to try to get it released for this model and yay it finally happened. While I waited I bought other products. I spent hours going through the cases thread seeing not much variety on the market. I'll go back to that thread and provide info on what I've bought. Unfortunately yes I'm new here so I can't post links. The link is just gelaskins ctrl+enter. Prices from what I can see are $14.95 each, but might be cheaper for U.S. customers. I guess you don't think of joining an android forum and getting a couple of thousand posts under your belt until you actually own one...

GelaSkins have some genuine artwork by reputable artist's like eBoy, of which I have a huge poster of their London piece in my study. :) There are skins you can get off eBay, but they're mostly girly designs or fairly common stuff, like the Coca Cola logo or abstract.

I was thinking about getting the design 'A Curious Embrace', cause it would go well with the white body. Then I can just sit it in my Spigen white leather pouch and I'll be a happy chap. :D

hello is it possible to put the battery from the optimus 4x into the optimus 2x ?

its the same size

then we have 2150mAH:laugh:

No, it isn`t possible. The battery from the 4x is bigger.

There are extended batteries for ~10€ on Ebay. But as a bigger battery is bigger in size there are new back covers included which would make your device thicker.

I've been trying to find a good solution for when I need alot of battery power.

I found these on ebay:

2300mAh battery

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/2300mAh-Batt...341204?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19d1945354

2800mAh external battery charger

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Black-2800mA...649840?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4167480eb0

Since the standard battery is only 1500mAh, I should see an increase from the 2300mAh battery, but I don't know how much.

The second one seems like it would give me even more, just with the downside of having to carry it around when I think I'll need it.

Any ideas?

I just don't want to give up my Trident case.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jago25_98:
both fake chinese lies. biggest standard size is mugen 1600

. however its about 1/2 mm bigger than Samsung stock so if you want to combine with wearable jacket batt.

best value are deji. I can send you one for £15. the cheaper ones are crud. another trick is lying on the %
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
I agree, I wouldn't trust these. If you can afford it, Mugen batteries are (from what I've heard) good, and they have one that is 1800Mah that'll fit under the standard battery cover.

Hi. Is there any chance to port exFAT into firmware if SGS3 can use that, or it is matter of hardware?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaycc:
hey guys. im pretty new to this android thing im an ex iphone user.

i use this task-killer app to show me how much RAM i got left and it always

show something between 250-100 mb of ram left out of 1024.

when i try the Antutu Benchmark i only get a 6000 score when

i saw ppl get 11000+.

the GPU score is fine and the I\O is fine the RAM is way low then others and the CPU score is low too.

what may be causing this problem?

oh btw when i play games like NOVA 3 and Gangstar Rio it laggs as hell.

Ty.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stierney:
No games should lag the S3.

Firstly what firmware are you on?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaycc:
im on 4.0.4.

yea it seems wierd to see souch a powerfull device lags.

i guess it has something to do with this low benchmark score i get..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stierney:
Ok I was after the exact firmware revision and if you were using a custom Rom or not. Once that is established may be able to help a little more.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMXO:
You need to provide more info before any of us can help out. Provide which ROM & kernel you are using & if it's stock. do you freeze or uninstall bloatware? what apps do you have running or are there any running while the games are running?

Your total RAM is around 700ish since the OS uses the rest after that, so having 250 or lower is normal. I have yet to experience lag when running games like the ones you've listed & the only time I ever have experienced lag is when the home screen redraws.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaycc:
oh i see, im sorry :)

amm i ain't using any custom rom. though i know that my rom got some changes to get it to fit to my country.

what do u mean by firmware revision other than 4.0.4?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmd512:
Did you flash any custom kernels? Only stock kernel seems to run right with heavy 3D games (ie, NOVA3), custom kernels always lag, then crash and reboot on me.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SlimJ87D:
This might be stupid, but where did you get your SGS3 at?

Honestly, Flash a stock ROM with Odin. I don't know if there are any one click master clear ones, but if you have the international there should have been any hacking needed to get it to work in your country.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stierney:
Goto settings / about

Latest UK firmware ends lf2

Also check settings power savings and check cpu throttleing isn't on. Even with it on 6000 is real low. I hit 9000 with cup throttle on and my phone hasn't been rebooted in over a week.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaycc:
i havn't flashed anything and i got it from a licensed Samsung seller in Israel.

the problem is i know they do some modification to get it to work right

with their langauge.

and they install their own rom.

i only download games and apps never to touch rom/root.

it's the international version with quad core.

when i compare the result's i get on the Antutu Benchmark it show

i have half the score on the ram and processors then i saw on Youtube.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmd512:
Oh hell naw. XXALF2, flash that... NOW.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stierney:
Never heard of an international phone not working in Israel without a modification. Personally I'd connect it up to kies and see if there's an update available.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stierney:
Just thought I'd add that kies is the official Samsung application for updating your phone and won't break warranty etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekjl:
Umm, just from the way he replied indicates he has no clue about flashing custom kernels. You can definitely scratch that off the list.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaycc:
lol mayble ill sound naive but won't i lose my warranty?

i remember when i first took the benchmark test when the phone was

just out of the box it showed me 11500.

now 2 weeks after it gone in half.

is there a way to root without lossing warranty cuz i know their rom is not

out on the market yet.

the phone will work in israel without the modification but it will have some bugs with the langauge
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaycc:
that was my next questions :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Yes and no. Odin uses the same update mechanism ('Download mode') as the official Samsung Kies (which btw is a grotesk, slow and painful-to-use application) so the phone won't be able to tell _WHAT_ updated it.

The phone is only capable of telling whether the ROM (=firmware) you're flashing is Samsung-official or some aftermarked custom ROM.

When it detects the ROM not to be official it will display a corresponding notice (and counter) in the Download mode. However there exists an app (which requires a rooted phone... which you usually got on custom roms) called 'Triangle Away' capable of resetting that counter to 0.

Now of course the store could still boot up the device and check if you're on the original ROM, so you'll have to flash a Samsung-official ROM corresponding to your location before bringing it back. There is no need to reset the counter afterwards since, as said, official ROM's don't trigger it to increment.

What if your phone is so damaged that you can't get it to go to download mode (more or less hardware-bricked)? Well in that case the store won't be able to check if the phone is (was) running non-official firmware. Samsung could but they don't always do since it requires dismantling the device and dumping the storage chip (provinding it still works). In case software caused it to brick (not boot) and it's unrecoverable, there are stores and send-in services around that for a couple of bucks revive your phone through JTAG flashing.

No.

The reason for your scores dropping might have several causes.

Please install 'Task Manager' by 'Houmiak', reboot your phone and open the Task Manager. Then kill all processes of programs you've installed which might have autostarted. (Note that some auto-restart as soon as they're killed, so you can't really get rid of them). If there are a lot of such apps,

try installing 'Autorun Manager' by 'Andrs Studio'.

Then run the benchmark again; is it significantly higher? If so, the reason most probably is that your app(s) are causing the issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaycc:
ty for the helpful reply.

i already use Task manager. ill try the other thing u said.

the wierd thing the benchmark isnt stable it can show me 6000 and on the next one it shows 8000.

UPDATE: it made it to 12000 once and i tried it again and it went below 10000
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaycc:
Another update:

It seems that the low score appears when the phone i hot like after

Playing a heavy game or after taking the antutu few times in a row.

Its getting lower and lower each test.

If someone please can try taking the test 4-5 time in a row

And publish the scores here ill be gratefull.

Then ill know for sure if my device is factory defected.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diaze:
make sure you dont run the benchmark with the power saving mod on
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaycc:
im not.

im waiting for someone's results that i can get a clue of what to do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paolonicus:

Or Titanium Backup if you have root acess.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ishaycc:
im not rooted and i couldn't fild SDX Stock. i guess they got if off the play store.

thx anyway.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingo dog:
well, I have the same results. But I guess its gpu, not ram. As an example, "dark knight rises" and new "spiderman" games. every time you look far, when gpu needs to render far objects it starts to lag, its really annoying. Nova3 when I get a blur effect it also drops fps. Running chechrom 3.5 with provided kernel. But its much better then 2.5. With 2.5 and siyah kernel Batman is unplayable, spiderman when starts and when far objects starts to render it crashes and also closes all background apps (sixaxxis for example). Benchmark results. Antutu with checkRom2.5 and Siyah kenel, never went above 9800, Quadrant never above 5.230. With checkROM 3.5 I get less lag with games, Antutu benchmark few times went above 12000, quadrant unchanged around 5100. New DarkyRom with siyah kernel behaves as checkRom 2.5 with the same kernel. And after playing with different kernels provided with kitchen OTA app on checkROM 3.5 lag goes really bad. Nothing else is effected just stuff that is heavy on GPU. Still having an amazing battery life, with any of these roms and kernels. Forgot to mention Gangstar Rio, lag is bad in every configuration. really bad. It was that bad that I just deleted it. And after last fresh reflash with chechROM 3.5 Batman game is not rendering blur effect when you a re grabbing the edge of a building with a hook. And my latest antutu score is 7469. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imranb_001:
I dont see any lag while playin tdkr. My s3 is just freakin smooth while playing this game. Make sure u download the latest version.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingo dog:
yes. in a closed space its ok. only when far object render needed it starts to lag bad. What about your blur effect on grappling? is it present?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcb4:
That's weird because my us version scores 6300 or so on antutu.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciscostud:
I had the same issues with all my heavy games crapping the bed.

It's not the rom but the available custom kernels. Just flash your rom with the latest stock kernel and your games like batman and spiderman will fly.

I Downloaded "omega files app" from the play store and from there you can download all kernels stock versions.

Enjoy your games.... This will work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
You have the dual core.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingo dog:

Galaxy s3 lag of Nova 3

So i i was having this same problem and to my suprise it i fixed it without aany root.

The problem for me was that my game was partially installed on my microsd card and the rest on the phones storage.

I removed my micros d and re-downloaded the game and BAM, it plays fines with no lag on the screen with tones of enemies.

My card i believe is a class 4 or 6, and i think i need a class 10 for the game to have some of the files installed the card.

Anyways, this is my suggestion for a fix that if you have a microsd card, take it out and reinstall the game to insure all data is being installed on the phone and not the card. Worked for me, now i have to cancel my S4 preorder cause the game runs fine now. :)

Hi friends... i'm having this problem since RC stage until the lastest Nightlies including the Stable version:

I'm using CM7 stable now and i got randomly freezes when i try to wake up the phone... anyone have this problem too?...

NOTE: i try changing governors using stock cm7 kernel, and I also change it by huexxx kernel, but still having freezes... i also make a full wipe and reinstall cm7 stable but nothing... any suggestions? :rolleyes:
