[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bracketologist:
I've had the phone for a day. Although it seemed big at first as I've never had a phone with a screen larger than 4 inches, it now seems perfectly fine...especially with the rounded edges. The back is glossy and is a fingerprint magnet, but you could easily get a case or an alternate cover on eBay.

The screen looks great to me and the few times I've used the camera have come out pretty good as well. Battery life on wifi is excellent. On 4G, it's good...not as great as on wifi, but good nonetheless. Don't get me wrong, the battery life is better on the network than any Android phone I've owned in the past (Milestone, Desire, and Incredible S), but I'll probably buy the OEM external charger and battery set just to be on the safe side in case I'm out and about all day and intend on using the phone frequently (especially with that big display). That way, if the first battery runs out, I can swap it out for a fully charged one.

Not a big fan of the physical home button and I wish there was a way to easily disable it from waking the screen if I choose to do so, but that's what custom ROMs are for. But this is in no way a deal breaker of any type. I do like the LED indicator though. Nice and bright.

As this is my first Samsung device, I am new to the Android customizations they do. I'm not a fan of TouchWiz, but I use Go Launcher anyway so I can get around that one. I like the notification panel toggle widgets and the battery percentage indicator in the notification bar. Great to know these are available even without rooting or installing a custom ROM. And it all seems smooth. 2GB RAM helps. Coming from single-core low memory phones, I was amazed!

The amount of bloatware installed isn't too bad, but I do intend to root...possibly very soon.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] nr2134:
The Samsung keyboard is absolutely horrible. Miss the stock android one.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] F1reEng1neRed:
Absolutely love this phone...more than I thought I would. All it needs now is some AOKP love and it will be near perfect.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Zackaroli:
Anybody found the pink/blue tints? I have only seen one owner reporting it on the US one
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] F1reEng1neRed:
Screen is fine here. Pentile or not, this screen is absolutely gorgeous.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Sher The Love:
I have some kind of tint. Its not as white as my nexus s, but isn't very noticeable if not comparing. I have some of those ink spots as well, but also not noticeable unless I'm in a very dark room
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] s1mpd1ddy:
You can download stock like ics keyboard on market
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Idan73:
I dont have the phone yet, but from what I know from galaxy Nexus and new unified memory, why would you even want to?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Zackaroli:
Are you getting yours from Canada or the US? I see you are with Fido as I am but they don't carry it so I bought mine from USA since I know it will take a while to get it from here..
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] jeffro23:
Do we know if its just that the Fm Radio app is missing, but the fm chip is there (similar to the One XL) where you can still install something like Spirit FM or root it and load the FMRAdio.apk?

Or is it that there is no internal hardware to support FM radio?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] PersonOfKnownOrigin:
Personally I like the screen and I'm not going to actively look for flaws. It's like going to Best Buy and looking at plasmas next to lcds: when compared side-by-side the whites on the plasma look a little yellow but in your livingroom you would never notice it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] the_buzz_man:
Well, according to Apple, they make good refrigerators......at least Siri really likes it!
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] altitude909:
Funny that Samsung makes apple's A5 chips yet they still piss on them
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Eaglemaniac:
My impressions? Excellent, excellent phone. Excellent implementations of the features, excellent use of motion. Definately a state of the art phone. Great choice to break into the Android world after 2 years with an iPhone. All it needs is an update that let you play audio directly over USB.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] junglizste:
My backplate is already significantly scuffed up.

I wonder what it would be like if I just hit the whole thing with some steel wool.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Eddie Bombay:
Really find this hard to believe unless u were traveling at 100 mph. My Note couldn't even pull this off.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] junglizste:
Audio through USB works through my car-dock.

My car dock was intended for the Tmobile GS2 but you can squeeze the i747 in. USB audio sounds great.

I would imagine it will work with most other android micro USB docks.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] MoJoePin:
the two things that annoy me a tad about the S3 are:

- hard to see outside, I don't like ramping brightness up due to battery

- placement of the power putton to the volume buttons

the 2nd is habit I'm sure since I've been an iPhone user for so long but I always press both the power and volume buttons at the same time, by accident. The tech that Lumia 900 integrated for viewing in the sunlight would have been awesome in this phone. But those are small little annoyances, not anything really substantial.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
Does the auto brightness feature not work well?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] MoJoePin:
Usually I disable the auto brightness on all my phones since they don't always seem to be accurate of ambient light. My brightness is set to 50%, but I may test out the auto and see how it is vs battery life.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Diviance:
I love the phone. Only things I don't care for are the physical home button (got too used to touch sensitive buttons on the Atrix) and the location of the power button. My volume keys go there, not the power button :(
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Lorimere:
Its like Samsung set the auto brightness to be too low on purpose, maybe for battery life. It works well, its just that the settings auto brightness chooses are always a bit too dim.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] neyenlives:
Hrm...will have to test out when I get mine. The feature worked ok inside on my Samsung Charge but in really bright outdoor light I had to force the brightest setting. I am sure the threshold can be adjusted in software to behave differently.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cmarison:
Hi everyone,

I'm using the Black Widow ICS ROM for Droid RAZR & RAZR MAXX. I like the interface of ICS, but am having some difficulties with one particular aspect.

I'm attempting to find some way to replace the default in call application. I assumed that would be by replacing the phone.apk from the latest ICS leak but am not sure. The reason I wish to do this is because the in call screen does not give any options to set which audio output it is using, IE Bluetooth, Headset, or Handset. This limited control of audio output is someone annoying since on the latest ICS leak, the bluetooth functionality doesn't redirect call audio to the handset when Bluetooth is on but disconnected from car or bluetooth headset. This necessitates me toggling bluetooth off every time I leave the car or turn off my bluetooth headset. If I don't turn it off, when I receive a call, my audio is still being routed to the bluetooth connection even though nothing is connected. Since the caller screen doesn't give me the option, I need to drop out of the call by going to the home screen, turn off bluetooth, then go back to the call to activate audio again so that the caller and I can hear each other.

I thought Google Voice may be able to get around this issue, but as it turns out, using it to make or receive calls still displays the default phone's call screen.

I also tried using EX Dialer (which is great for searching for contacts with T9) but since it relies on the device's default phone.apk once a call is placed, doesn't do me much good either.

Any thoughts on how to get around this? I don't know if it's specifically related to the Black Widow Rom, or just all ICS leaks in general. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Link to the ROM I'm referring to can't be posted right now due to account restrictions, but it's found on droidrzr dot com's forums under the title "ROM|Ics-Leak| Black Widow Ics (2012-06-19)"

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] kuipou:
I'm in canada currently running on a Verizon D3 i had a milestone before and before that a Cliq (yeah i know..) however seeing as it will never get ICS i'm asking myself if i should get a Droid 4 or wait to see if there a 5 with global

what you guys think
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
I came from a Bell Motorola XT860... This phone works a lot better than that one. If you can get a good deal on a D4 (it's been out almost 6 months now) go for it. I got mine for $300 and got it shipped up here. If you wait for the latest and greatest it will cost you more, and you don't know how long you'll be waiting...
[Motorola Droid 4] GermanGuy:
Since you cannot use the LTE capabilities of the Droid 4, I would stick with D3.
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
FYI I'm getting between 4 and 5mbps from my carrier on HSPA+. For cellular service, there isn't much difference between Droid3 and Droid4 here in Canada, but the phone itself is a much better build and OS is a lot snappier.
[General Questions and Answers] pnsdhrn:
I have downloaded JW Player Javascripts to my computer for playing HTML5 Videos in my Motorola Milestone running with Kabaldan's CM7 7.2.0 ROM.The instructions included in the downloaded zip file says to write one script in the "Head" and the other in the "Body" of the web browser page of the phone.But being a noob in this matter I don't know how to access this web browser page and where in this page I have to write them.If any body give me a step by step instructions for this I would be much grateful to them.Expecting a helping hand with thanks in advance,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lil Jones:
Just comparing the price of a unlocked nexus and found this. Look for it yourself for proof.

Removed the image. To much personal info on it. Go to one of the dozen other websites to view it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coolmaster121:
Next week

Wow, i guess its coming next week
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 52brandon:
interesting. Thanks for posting

on a sidenote, I would block out more of the personal info if I were you, but I'm paranoid lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
Interesting indeed :D

Only a matter of time til the source is on google and all nexus get jelly bean custom roms :D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] riggsandroid:
i'm able to replicate.

/me shrugs

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Greg Tolan:
I added it to my cart in google play to see what would happen and the below image popped up. You can see it vaguely but the search bar widget is changed and the wallpaper is not on the current nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
Awesome. Maybe if you buy the phone you will get jelly bean before the update is gets released to everybody?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXDLD511Xx:
This made me dance. =D

But I hope this wasn't a mistake. You should send it to android central or something. They'll grab it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jeff_in_LA:
Maybe it's just a typo in the product database?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lil Jones:
I sent it to android central already
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
ooooo :eek::eek::eek:

COOL!!!!

Jelly bean is near hopefully :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I am...shocked.

Even if it is an accident (I am sure it was), someone knows something ;)

Maybe we will get it far sooner than I expected. Of course, that does lend to the idea that JB is just an incremental update and not an overhaul like some were thinking.

It also makes me sad to be on Verizon, because I know I will have to find myself a leak for proprietaries :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXDLD511Xx:
This is what I'm fearing and hoping did not happen.

Beautiful. :D

Can't wait to see what they say about it. :)

They seem kinda low on stuff lately for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BuddyJoe83:
This...

Makes me happy, even more, that I got this baby :) nice find
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I have no doubt. However, someone typoed not only the version number, but the name. Which leads me to think that it is either a cruel joke, or its release is close.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
I can understand typoing 4.1 instead of 4.0 but I dont think someone could typo Jelly Bean instead of Ice Cream Sandwich.

I think its coming.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shiznu:
SSSSWWWEEEEEETTTT :D:D;);):D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXDLD511Xx:
I'm sooooooooo FREAKING EXCITED!!!!

Wonder if google is gonna say something about this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lil Jones:
I don't think its a typo they also changed one of the thumbnails. It looks like some one jumped the gun by a week.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
No way it is a typo

They said soon to be the first with 4.1 jelly bean and the picture in the database is different as well.

They must be hinting it be coming out very very soon :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
everything depends by what they mean with "soon"

1 month? 5 months?

LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
Pretty cool! Now we wait to see how long "soon" is! :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FredFS456:
Just tipped Engadget. Hopefully they take it =D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leoluisguitar:
I cant wait till they release 4.1 jelly to our Gnex >_<!! Now im more than happy to have a Gnex and not a sgs3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andQlimax:
even if we dont know how soon, for sure its "the first phone with Android 4.1"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXDLD511Xx:
Verizon's soon is months later.

This thread is going crazy and ppl are getting excited. Hopefully Google doesn't stomp our heart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
damn straight and if you rooted i would like to think 90% of nexus owners are :rolleyes:

Then we will have it before the ota since it will be built from source on custom roms :cool:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metroba:
It's false advertising if they say they will ship out a phone with 4.1 and then don't provide. I don't think it's a typo either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kmakiki:
If you try and check out now, it doesn't say that any more. It just says Galaxy Nexus HSPA +. Looks like Google leaked once again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
:D

Glad you and me left the epic for a nexus :cool:

Still i love my epic dearly as my gf loves it as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
I would say closer to 1 month considering in 5 months you would think they would be selling newer Nexus devices by then. And since they said it will be the first, JB must be coming before the new Nexus device(s).

---------- Post added at 03:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------

It says 4.1 is shipping soon on the phone, not that the phone is being shipped with 4.1 so it isn't false advertising.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Lol off topic

But the only thing I will miss the community. But I'm ecstatic that jelly bean is soooo close :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beaumontcali48:
Sweet can't wait to eat me some jelly bean :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
More likely, it was just pushed too soon to the site. No way it is typo as it says 4.1 JB is coming soon to the GN. That can't be a "typo".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXDLD511Xx:
Would be one hell of long typo. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
derail threads is what i get caught up in when i see friends post in them :p

And the community was nice but not at the beginning 6-7 months :D

UGH!! Now it is good tho after a year of hell :rolleyes:

Now back to le topic:

Jelly bean, Jelly Bean!!!

CHANT!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dvandam:
I ordered this phone 2 days ago for my wife and there was no trace of that, at least not to my knowledge. I think I would have noticed something like "Android 4.1" on the screen. On the receipt and everything it just says,

Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ - Galaxy Nexus HSPA+

Can't believe my wife may soon have a more advanced OS on her phone than I have on my own..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
probably they'll call it cm9.1 :D

nways, OT , did u guys notice the new smilies on xda :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
From what it seams the upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1 is not a major rewrite. They'll have a nightly done in a matter of hours :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
I feel so bad for you Verizon/Sprint owners since you guys will definitely wait before us GSM users. Unless Verizon/Sprint actually cares and takes the necessary steps to give customers a satisfactory release date...wait what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
We will only have to wait if the CDMA props are different enough to kill off voice and data.

Otherwise, AOSP baby!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I wouldn't be so sure....did they transition from Froyo to Gingerbread in a matter of hours?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Lol I feel bad for big red actually this phone came with 4.0.4 but wasn't it just recently that Verizon got an OTA for 4.0.4. Really don't have to worry because as soon as CM has a build for the GSM then I'm sure us cdma users will be right after.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
/me looks at Verizon's IMM76K.

/me looks at Sprint's IMM76D.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rasengan82:
Hell even the Nexus S might get it (if it gets it) before Big Red LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
Gotcha... so I'm wrong I can accept that :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I think Sprint would have been raked over the coals if they had launched a new device with 4.0.2 when 4.0.4 was already out. So I can see why they did that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iGoogleNexus:
Glad I flashed the takju build months ago =]

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Razer(x):
I see nothing exceptional in that, we already know that Gnex is the first one to get JB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hazerd:
Google is i think going to release 4.1 on IO this year , not sure
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dr.m0x:
Grrrr .... my only complaint is that CM9 isn't even done yet and already it will be abandoned in favour of cm10, maybe even before there is an official cm9 release.

Wait ... why am I complaining about that again? The wait should be much shorter this time for cm since its a point release and not a complete overhaul.

It got 4.0 and it well get this, we will just be first is all.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
As I see it, being pessimistic and all, is Google stating the Nexus will be the first phone to have an official release of Jelly Bean...but we knew that anyway didn't we??!

But yeah, I was down on Jelly Bean being 5.0 tbh. Have I answered my own question? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxBrun0xx:
Anybody have any idea what's going to change? Unlike the jump from Froyo to Gingerbread, there's a lot less that needs to be fixed in ICS. I would imagine it's not going to add a whole lot in terms of features, maybe we'll get that rumored "official" siri?

I'm excited to see what google's got in store for us, but not holding my breath.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SupaDupaFly24:
Great news! Can't wait to see what Jelly Bean has to offer!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Google usually launches a new Nexus phone with major releases so it wasn't a given the GN would receive it first. In this case, it looks like only a tablet will be launched with JB so obviously GN will be the first phone to get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rlpaul:
We are seeing a new Nexus device however, its just not a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcowboys2184:
I left too..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Exactly. So either 4.1 is NOT Jelly Bean or its only a minor release. It seems unlikely, knowing what we know, that Jelly Bean is just around the corner already.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXDLD511Xx:
It's gonna be like Froyo and Gingerbread.

So that is JB as 4.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeerChameleon:
you should of made a goodbye thread :p

Also your not to far away from me :eek::eek:

Also how much you pay for your cox internet? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
Mainly minor cosmetics and under the hood work then. Either way, I'm stoked. But I feel a lot of people are going to be aggrieved...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WoodroweBones:
I hope they completely remove ActiveSync from the phone... oh whoops that was a typo... what I meant to say was... I hope they allow notifications for when emails are directed to a folder when using ActiveSync.

In case you didnt follow I'm making light of the JB outing being called a "typo". I find it hard to believe that the person was trying to type "Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich" and by some random coincidence ended up typing "soon the first phone with Android 4.1 JellyBean" :p

The main question is when "soon" is. Even if the only fix is folder notification it will be my favourite update yet!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
A typo can mean many things. For example, someone may have made a typo so that JB and 4.1 was displayed with the Galaxy Nexus before it was announced ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xXDLD511Xx:
I wonder if someone just got fired because of this. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diegodbm:
I think that Google maybe run too fast with this update.

They kill ICS... the new flagship from Samsung and HTC now are OLD!!!!

And... more fragmentation...

Enviado desde mi Galaxy Nexus usando Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
They can fix that, if they choose (HTC and Samsung).

As long as manufacturers don't care to stay on top, the fragmentation will continue. ICS is already 8 months old and they couldn't give a rat's arse about updating their devices in a timely manner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidtoy09:
Nexus Tablet with 4.1 at Google I/O.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
If Google is keeping the SDK API the same (meaning devs don't have to do much to update to JB), then it probably will also be easy for OEMs to update their phones. Given the small number jump, it seems to imply this release will be easy to upgrade to without breaking anything. This means the custom skins OEMs use should upgrade rather easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Here is a question though....has Google ever kept the API version the same between OS releases? I don't think they have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BlackHoleSlam:
Interesting we will just have to wait till I/O

by me, for me and I love you
