[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] lensgrabber:
Agreed if you have the choice and can spend the extra fifty bucks get the 32gb. It's better to have it and not need the memory. 32+64 FTW. If it were $150 difference then no but really guys fifty dollars? It's not that much money in the long run especially if you plan on keeping a lot of pictures, movies, and other storage hogging data on there. I'm holding out for 32gb and already have a 64gb class 10 ready to pop in.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TheKid1:
Great info guys, thank you. I will have to do some thinking cause I too always have to go with the best, but it is good to know that it will not make too much of difference.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] heygrl:
MTP works like complete ****. 32GB is not worth it for that reason alone. I couldnt migrate ANY large files to my internal SD card. Really pissed me off
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TheKid1:
What is MTP?

And can what you are having trouble with not be fixed with rooting?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Simba501:
I think it's "media transfer protocol"; it's an alternate way of transferring files (as opposed to mass storage). Everyone seems to really want to use it, despite its ineptitude.

I feel like a bastard with my humble Micro SD 4GB class 1.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] howlingmoon12:
Not too pleased plugging in my S3 and finding out it uses MTP, I ended up buying the 16gb b/c Best Buy had run out of 32gb. Though I don't see why I want to pay 15 bucks more for less then 16gb additional internal memory just take yor old 32gb out and use it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] tamasrepus:
I find MTP a good thing… why?

You can finally store files larger than 4 GB. No having to transcode movies to a smaller size (the Galaxy S III can play most formats natively already, and for the rest of them, the soon-to-be-launched VLC for Android will handle them). With a 16 GB device I don't think you're keeping many 4 GB+ files around, though.

Know the huge wait when you start your phone while it checks the FAT32 filesystem on the internal partition or your µSD card? (I wait a long time, almost a minute, with my 64 GB card) If the device is using a non-piece-of-sh*t filesystem underneath like ext4, this wait is gone!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RussianBear:
hey, guys!

I've owned several htc devices before and really liked the way their gallery was set up to view the pics without breaking them down into folders. Is there any way to make the stock gallery look like that? (just pictures organized by date they were taken, not separate folders those pics are in) Or maybe download an aftermarket app? I've tried quik pic on the note, but that app didn't have those options.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
The stock Gallery application should have a drop down menu in the top left corner that lets you sort by Album, Location, Time (taken), People and Tags.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] erikk:
So I was planning on using K9 in place of the stock email client but low and behold it appears that K9 and hotmail don't play nice together. I can only seem to get hotmail connected as a POP3 account. Does anyone know if there is any way to get K9 connected to hotmail as either IMAP or exchange?

I've tried manually setting it up as IMAP and Exchange with m.hotmail.com and m.live.com as the server with the default ports but nothing seems to be working.

Suggestions along the lines of forward mail to gmail, gmail is better, etc etc that don't involve K9 connecting to hotmail directly are not necessary. I know all of the other "options" but I need to either connect K9 to hotmail directly or not use k9 and stick with the stock email client (which I'm hoping I can switch to k9).
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] erikk:
Well it appears that NO ONE has figured it out because K9 (and the paid Kaiten) don't support Exchange ActiveSync which newer versions of exchange and apparently Hotmail Exchange uses.

So anyone have another email replacement client that is as good as K9 that I could consider to replace the stock mail app? Requirements are the ability to connect directly to hotmail, a couple IMAP servers and a corporate Exchange server all at the same time with a unified inbox.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Annoyer13:
It's been almost a week since my SGS got wet. The phone works not that bad, but it has a few issues. Anything I could solve by myself? I can't really find a trustworthy service around my area. Or at least maybe you could tell me what components might got corrupted.

The phone sometimes starts with green screen made by thousand pixels, then slowly changes into white and when I click the main button it's fine and I can enter my pin code.

The colors of the screen are a bit faded. Something like 256 colors. I can post a video if necessary.

When I want to enable the black screensaver it starts blinking from screensaver to blocked screen, 1-3 seconds every blink. Sometimes it's fine, but only sometimes. Also, I can post a video if necessary.

I can call and text only when the phone is set to only GSM mode and packed data is off. When in auto mode or packed data are on then it I can't call or text and ofcourse I can't use the internet without wifi.

When phone is turned off the battery drains very fast.

Thanks for any help in advance.

just yesterday my SGS got in sink:o i dried it in rice for about 9 hours and now its completely functional. so maybe your water damage is bigger then mine. anyway you should go to service centre because your screen already damaged so unless you have one more amoled screen and know how to replace it. and other issues u have is because of hardware problems... Your shined way is to SC :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Annoyer13:
Thank you for your replies.

The screen after more time works better, just that blinking still bothers.

One more question. That fast battery drain while the SGS is turned off and goes from 100% to 10% of battery in few hours - is it more likely to be a hardware issue or the battery itself?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzkinhvanzz:
I have a SS Vibrant running Froyo.

Then I use the ADB Recovery (I dont know exactly the name >"<) to partition Ext SD Card but no card in Ext Card Slot.

My Vibrant Bricked after that.

I have to use Odin and Flash it.

After that my Vibrant Internal Storage become 3.52 GB and Internal SD Card is 10.85 GB.

But there are some problems. When turn on the phone, many error about google service not responding. I press force close and the pop-up appear again.

How can I repartition my phone?

When I go to Recovery Mod, it change to Samsung Recovery and Error Check Sum appear.

Please help me with this situations.

Thank you!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzkinhvanzz:
Please help me with this problems!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cashmundy:
Reflashing with Odin is the right idea. Make sure you have a "pit" file (partition info) and are checking the box to repartition device. Best to remove your SD card until you have it working again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzkinhvanzz:
I tried Odin but nothing happen!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
1.)Are you Odin back to stock 2.1? √ re-partition box?

2.)Do you have CWM recovery?

3.)Try to go back and put the correct values in the same way you changed it before.

4.)Go to www.team-passion.com and read the squeaky clean install instructions, it has you reformat (erase) SD card but please read and follow the instructions. (Standard disclaimer) I don't want to be responsible for a true brick!

These are a few possibilities to fix your partitions.

Let's skip the chick flick moment..
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Your question had already been answered by cashmundy. You need the right pit file for your Odin image and device to format the partition correctly. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319802
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] catman232:
This is basically what everyone else has been saying, but the most simple way of doing it.

Please download the Vibrant Toolbox here.

After you install it, click on the "Flsh to Stock" button and follow all of the instructions. (Making sure to select the PIT file)

Make sure your phone is dissconnected from the computer, and hold down Volume up and Volume down (Try pressing directly in the center of the two)

Then plug in the USB cable.

You should see a box in ODIN turn yellow (If not, re-open vibrant toobox and select "Install Drivers")

Then click start and make sure not to touch the phone or cable.

The PIT file should restore both of your partitions their stock conditions.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
OP, if you're familiar with adb and adb shell, google the Reparted method. If you're careful you can rebuild the internal partitions via adb shell. You'll need a printout of the stock Vibrant partition structure, you should be able to find that on google as well. I'll post mine here as a reference for you, but I recommend doing your research.

Do not partition through recovery, that'll just make things worse. If you follow reparted though, and carefully cause you can do more damage if you don't follow the steps correctly, that can help you out of this jam.

Hope it helps there OP, don't hold me responsible if you make it worse, but this is my best guess at what can help you.

EDIT - here is the printout from my Vibrant for the partition you need to fix, best of luck.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] fursquare:
Recently, my battery levels have gotten stuck at 100%. At the time that this happened, I was using an older version of owain ics so I decided to update to owain domination ics rom. It was fine after installing and everything but once I turned off the phone, my battery levels would get stuck at 100% once rebooted. When I installed this rom, I made sure to wipe data, cache, factory wipe and dalvik wipe and all that stuff. So I decided to use a different rom and I used eagles blood 4.0.4 and I get the same exact problem. Same with Hell fire sandwich 1.8. I have searched this problem of battery percentage getting stuck at 100% before but all the solutions tried (wipe battery stats and calibration) did not work for me. How would I fix this problem of battery levels getting stuck at 100% after reboot?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DJLamontagneIII:
I know you wiped but try again cache,davlik,batt stats and fix permissions then reboot
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fursquare:
Hey thanks for your reply

Unfortunately, it didn't work and the first reboot gave me a 100% battery percentage. I also noticed that when I switched wifi on using owain domination ics rom, my phone went back to that spinning circle bpotloading screen and then it turned on Wi-Fi.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Caliyork:
Which kernel have you been using? Perhaps try another one. Make sure to wipe cache and dalvik first then fix permissions afterwards. As for the wifi reboot thing, that is just a bug in owains rom right now. In sure it'll be fixed soon.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrigo187:
Hey guys. I bought my first smartphone a month ago which was a sensation xe. I had to return it multiple times as it got way too hot. I just purchased a Galaxy S3 and I was wondering if the the warmth it emits is normal. I am experiencing temperatures from 35-40 while browsing the net and temperatures from 38-44 while playing graphic intensive games like Riptide. I was wondering if these temperatures are in the normal range. It gets pretty warm but not super hot. I am not tech savvy like most of the members here so I have no idea about ROM's or underclocking. Is my S3 normal or am I just overreacting because of my bad experience with the Sensation?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
It'll get warm when you play demanding games (or rather, high-end considering nothing is demanding to this phone :P). This is coming from a former S2 and Galaxy Nexus owner. It's because it's plastic.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diaze:
what app do u use to see the temperatures?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrigo187:
Thanks Product F(RED). Do you own an S3? Do you see similiar temperatures? Do you think temperatures in the high thirties are okay for just browsing?

And to see the temperatures download an app the tests for battery temperature. Just go to the play store.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
Yeah, I have the international in 16GB, Marble White. The only complaint I have about this phone is the camera sucks balls compared to the S2. Seriously, there are no details in the pictures. But back to your issue, it'll get warm if I play Shadowgun or GTA III. Not HOT, but warm.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanith:
Playing gta3 or nova3 or any other high demanding game will push it up to not much past 40c, I mean actual temperature of the device, not sensor values. This kind of temperature is expected from high demand apps and is not unique to the sgs3. The plastic casing probably doesn't help much either (metal would sink the heat and disapate quicker).

Even if you got it up to 50c then it would still be safe, maybe uncomfortable to hold but safe.

The device that 'exploded' that everyone is getting worked up about probably has the in car charger to blame. The cheaper ones aren't usually protected from surges, or the curent isn't regulated as well as better ones.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diaze:
Mine is goig up to 44 when playing MC3 online :) i think it`s a safe temperature
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Product F(RED):
That's because the Wifi antenna is sending and receiving a constant stream of data and the CPU and screen are working their asses off to run your game (the screen can get very warm).

Bottom line is, the phone might get very warm, but it shouldn't be scolding hot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrigo187:
So basically I have nothing to worry about? I understand it getting that warm while playing games but it is normal for my phone to get this warm while browsing? As I am talking to you guys now my phone has been hovering between 36 and 40 degrees.. I mean its warm but not uncomfortably so. Thanks for helping out you guys are awesome. On a side note how did you find gta3 I looked on game hub and the play store but no luck

Curiously, the camera recording at 1080p gets a LOT of detail, what the photo quality SHOULD be like. So I'm thinking and praying this is a software issue because this is going to be the phone I talk on vacation.
