[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Reel:
I swung by my local store and the manager agreed to hold one for me when they get them if I bought an accessory. I bought something and paid a bit too much but if they actually hold the phone, I am happy and will hang on to it. If not, then I will return it and just get the phone. Now for them to get one in stock...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] icehero919:
I had the same experience, Reel. The manager is going to hold one for me when it comes in, but in this case because i bought a fifty dollar gift card for Sprint.

Also, like some others, I've called all Sprint Stores and Authorized Retailers in the San Francisco Bay Area. (the entire Bay Area... Im desperate :p) No one has it in stock and the general consensus is to check back next week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Soupskin:
Same on the north side of Atlanta. I gave up and place my order with Wirefly for $150. If I have to wait, I might as well get it at a good price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ken830:
Thanks. Saved me from doing that myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jnadke:
Chalk me up as another 'waiter'.

Spent time debating between EVO LTE and GS3.

Going on vacation over the 4th, so I'll hold out to see if I can get it in store next week, otherwise I'll order it from Wirefly.

Bad thing about Wirefly is you have to keep it on your line for 6 months or else you have to pay them $200. Bad for phone swappers.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Reel:
I bought my Evo 4g (original) from them on released a couple years back. I saved a bunch of money - about 70 off retail - but nearly lost my SERO. I had to call up and get a rep to change me back. It is another risk you face with them. I was afraid it would trigger that $200 fee when I switched back but it did not. I even marked the 6 months on my calendar out of paranoia.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bhsvault:
They better have it in stock for my July 1st upgrade....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iceman19631:
Same here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jnadke:
I hope they have it before that. I can upgrade now, and Sprint rounds down on upgrade cycles. I'd prefer not to wait an extra month next upgrade!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lepapirriky:
Yeah lots and lots of july 1st lol

I really don't know what to do when July 1st comes up because the back-order is threatening me that sprint stores will not have them by then :S

Also, are you guys also getting sprint ins? I'm more likely jumping on BB ins, but can you get their insurance even tho you didn't bought the phone there?

July 1st is confirmed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] boomerbubba:
But only for 16 GB units. I think you still need to buy the 32 GB online or over the phone from corporate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ken830:
Yes, but the 32GB has always been a web/telesales exclusive. At least it'll be available on July 1st.

Now... Where can I go to see a demo? Or at least a dummy so that I can decide on a color?? Does T-Mobile/AT&T have them in stores yet?? Radio Shack or Best Buy??

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retaihec:
Hey there, so I'm most definitely a noob here, so I'll keep it to the point:

I was curious if there was a way to port over the Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) to the Amazon Kindle? I know there are a couple themes to bring the Metro UI to the device, but I'm more interested in a true port.

I've looked all over the place, and it doesn't seem like anyone has done anything regarding this. Either that or I'm horribly blind when it comes to searching through things.

Anyways, if anyone has any insight, or a place that I should've checked out first for information, that would be pretty awesome!

Thanks! :D
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veeman:
I thought mango only supported single core CPU.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awidawad:
It would be hard considering WP7 is not open source like android.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retaihec:
Yeah, that's what I figured, ha!

I was just making sure I wasn't overlooking anything, you know?

Maybe someday then.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felnarion:
If you can basically write an entire OS.

It doesn't support the resolution, the processor, nothing. The entire thing is completely unsupported by the OS.

Way better chance of getting Windows 8 on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Plutonium0587:
I've searched around and not really found what I was looking for. I have used Polaris, Documents to Go, and Quickoffice for an 88mb Word file I need to open and have trouble. The file is full of pictures ect... and when I open it some take longer than others, but the pictures look like crap and the formatting is jacked up. I know Tablets are not the best for documents, but I am not even trying to edit, just view the thing. I figured 88mb would be in the scope of the memory capabilities, but wondered if anyone else had this problem. I have had problems with large powerpoint files in the past not opening at all.

The main reason it annoys me is not because I need to go my Windows laptop to view them, but that my friend's Ipad2 opens them just fine. Come on Android! Anybody have any advice? And I apologize in advance if there is a thread addressing this same issue, I just couldn't find it. Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] cdorrell12000:
Did you try docs to go? I always seem to have good luck with that program.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
With the exception of the iPad (2048*1536) and the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity (1920*1200) most tablets including the 7.7 have a screen resolution of (1200*800).

The same screen resolution (1200*800) is available on the galaxy Note with a 5.3 inch screen. So a 7 inch screen such as the 7.7 would need a resolution of (1750*1160) to equal the Note. and a 10.1 screen would need a resolution of (2286*1524).

When I decide to buy a 7 inch tablet then I would want the screen resolution to be at least as good as the Note. How long do you think it will be before the next 7.7 has improved screen resolution to match the Note?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vegaman:
The Note is actually 1280x720,a small difference true. Edit: shouldn't trust my friend even though he owns a note... It is 800

But the bigger difference is that the Notes screen is Pentile and the 7.7 is not. Using Pentile to get higher pixel density just feels like cheating to me. Higher pixel density is supposed to make things more crisp, but a Pentile matrix does the opposite.

And the other two you mentioned aren't amoled, so they can't really be compared either.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] kishd:
I cannot give you a technical answer but I own both the note and the 7.7. The resolution on the tab is just superior. Put the two next to each other in a shop and you will see the difference instantly.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
Hi Gaugerer, 7.7 actually has resolutions of 1280x800 instead of 1200x800.

Also, I agree with kishd. Put a Note and 7.7 side by side you can see clearly that the pixels in 7.7 are arranged in perfect grid, while the pixels in Note are arranged in pentile matrix, as in SIII.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
The Note is not 1280x720. It's 1280x800; just like the Tab 7.7. I have both.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
Thanks for your replies and for correcting my Note screen resolution. It seems that most of you are happy with current resolutions on Android tablets, but I wish we had iPad3 dpi for it would help with my charting and multiple windows.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
Of course the more the better XD

We are hardly some fanboys who would defend its short-coming

Having said that, resolution is not everything. You would like to look at contrast and refresh rate, as well as how pixels are arranged. The overall watching experience depends on these as well.

But if you don't want to digest too much technical detail, just go to shop and try it out on your own :)

Google's let a bit of info slip a little early via the Play Store.

Your right VanillaCracker, The sound chip IS different. Fount it out on the page below. Post Number 2419

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583091&page=242
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tmckenn2:
some of the devs say our sound chip is a pos... and they are probably right. the problem is i dont think we ever got a full source release for our phones. so the devs have been making due with a hack jop of the samsung drivers or using open source drivers with a different set of shoehorns. the problem is not are you willing to live with sound or not. because a non functional piece of hardware is going to cause instability just because it is not working. plus CM wont release a rom if it isnt working all the way. i guess there arent those restrictions with aosp but i think most devs share the same thought process behind it.

EDIT: btw i messed up nomenclature a little bit. the problem is not with the drivers, they seem to exist. the problem is with the HAL... it is the libraries that work between the android os and the drivers. one developer told me the only real way to get a hal working without source is with a "shim layer" essentially you have to put a monitor between the two and over the course of time watch them and decode their interactions to write your own hal... it is time consuming and not always accurate.

To my knowledge the biggest problem you would encounter will be getting the sound.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
No, seriously, dafuq? It was said many times with ICS that anything that happened in I9000-land was a total fluke and irrelevant to our device. This still holds true for our device. The I9000/Captivate/etc are 90% identical to the Nexus S - they have a fundamental advantage in terms of CM bringups for this reason.

Quality-wise - not good but not awful.

Driver/HAL-wise - Yamaha is awful with regards to documentation and open source. Also, their kernel driver was written by either someone on powerful mind-altering drugs (crackhead would be giving them too much credit), or came from a primitive tribe with no concept of 0. Seriously - for every audio path setting, 0x2 = off, 0x1 = on, 0x0 and 0x3 are invalid. Yes, that's right - two ****ing bits for a value that only needs one.

Not GNex, but Nexus S. GNex and I9100G have the same CPU, which is why the G is ahead for now.

This post is complete and total fail. Our device has almost NOTHING in common with the Nexus S, especially not sound.

Right now, here's the short summary:

I9100, I777, and N7000 are all in the same boat. If one gets JB, they all do. I9100 and I777 are 99% identical and the differences take maybe 10 minutes for someone with half a brain to deal with at this point. (It was harder last year when we knew less - but now we know EXACTLY what changes are needed.) The one thing that might be slightly difficult for I777 only is NFC - but probably that won't be a big deal.

N7000 is an I9100 with a large screen and a few other changes. So N7000 should not ever be more than a few days difference from I9100/I777.

The sound chip in all three devices is not present in almost any other Android device (and none that have CM bringups - the only other device I know of is the Galaxy Player 5.0), and it is heavily closed-source. This presents major challenges, an audio HAL may need to be written from scratch.

90%+ of the work of bringing JB to Exynos-based Galaxy S2-era devices will be getting audio to work.

I think I've come to this conclusion too. It may be a better bet trying to get a petition going and sent to YAMAHA, seeing as they're probably more likely to give a **** than Samsung (since they got their own thing going on). I think it's safe to assume that if Samsung plans on getting out a JB release at all, it's probably going to be about a year from now, at that point I'd be crammed so far up someones asshole in depression to even give a **** :p

Yeah if it is the case that we have to wait on Samsung, I'm just hoping that by some act of god they decide to release a relatively AOSP'd JB and not take 11 months to do their own TW thing to it. *Shutters* 11 months....

Keep in mind this is also what Entropy mentioned. Personally, this is what I'm most hopeful for. I know that it's probably ****ty as hell creating a code that complex from scratch (and mainly by devs who contribute in their free time - essentially), but I'm sure they will find a relatively simple way to get the audio to transfer through using the sound card we have.

I doubt they're gonna be trying to create some baller ass audio HAL haha, so I do still have faith. Hell if I get really ****TY audio quality coming out of my JB running phone, I will still be extremely happy haha.

Idk the status of Yamaha's corporation or their customer service, but if they're as big as I have a feeling they are they also won't give a ****.
