Download an app called battery indicator and open it up. It will put a battery in the status bar but also will let you view temperature. Use it as it has the smallest memory footprint of most all apps of the sort. Of your phone is getting over 110 that's an issue for me. My Maxx w ics has never climbed over 108 in hot middle Georgia.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] aznmode:
Was this supposed to be a built in feature? I've only seen this on custom roms with Leedroid tweak. It would be awesome if it were built in. I use this a lot on my Evo 3d with Mik ICS rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] droidsrus:
Been playing with this phone all day. And its a way better phone than the gnex i had. Ive read somewhere that it isnt worth the upgrade. Lmao. Thats a joke. The screen is 10x better. This is how a hd screen is supposed to look. Way smoother too. The design of the phone is amazing too. Looks way better in person than in pics. Battery life is better too. Did i mention the screen tho? The colors are amazing. It doesnt look yellowish. Blueish or have a pink tint like ive read somewhere on here. The camera is nice too. Cant complain. No complaints at all. The phone doesnt even get as hot as the gnex did when im using it. All im waiting for is for some custom roms. Aokp/cm9. I feel like an idiot for doubting the s3. Gs3>>>

107 inside on wifi or outside in the heat on lte?

I have been on wifi and am sitting in my 90 degree carport in the shade. 107 seems high if you were in the house and just browsing BUT its still not over 110...just keep an eye on it an if you can try to keep us updated on this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
Almost 5200 quadrant which kind of upsets me but sammys could usually oc a bit higher than HTC which I got almost 5300 outta the box, guess we'll see what the devs bring... Display seems good, can't beat LCD 2 though, over all pretty damn close to evo, lol, no likee twhiz... cam not quite as good but I'm sure tons can be done by devs... Can't quote signal strength yet as I'm tethered to og evo... keep feedback coming;-)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
I do love the hidden buttons, especially that they don't use display resources... Really hate the home button though=-O
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Glod:
inside on wifi :(

its cooled down in the past hour because i put the phone down and didn't do anything with it, its at 92 F. Thats a huge drop

Whats the DBM signal strength when you have full bars.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
I don't have the device yet but I read somewhere that if you disable the double tap to launch s voice, the home button becomes more responsive. Apparently, when u hit it once it waits a split second to see if you're gonna hit it again to launch s voice.

This was a stock feature on the gs2. I just bought my wife one off craigslist and haven't rooted or anything yet and it works fine. Just have to turn off auto brightness. Someone has to know if this is working....anyone?

I agree. I feel like I'm going to drop the phone every time I press the home button.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
About to root, anyone had success yet? Too bad no roms yet but they'll be here soon enough;-)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coreyzw:
Ok... so here are my gripes and likes so far...

Gripes:

1) Audio quality on phone calls is terrible. Both on my wife and my own phones. Its very muffled sounding and people have a hard time hearing us. Even recording the voicemail greeting makes it muffled on the playback.

2) Touchwiz is crap. I really dislike how much they changed the base ICS OS. I really can't wait for CM9 to be ready so I can install it and get rid of this crap.

3) Smart Stay is apparently made for people with vision problems. Unless I have the phone about 12 inches from my face, it doesnt recognize that I am looking at it and doesnt disable the screen timeout. I see the little "Eye am watching you" icon but it just doesnt recognize me.

4) S Voice has a hard time with word recognition... and again I think this attributes to the sound quality issues I am getting with the phone calls.

Likes:

1) Phone is very snappy and fast. I really like how quick it works and flips through things. Upgrading from the N1 and I can really see a difference.

2) Camera seems pretty good. I am not as blown away as I was when I used the camera on my N1 for honeymoon pix in Florence Italy, but still very clear none the less.

3) Battery life is aaaaaamazing to me. My N1 would only last maybe 8 hours on standby with little data use. If I put it on airplane mode it would last about 12-14. This phone seems to last 12 hours with phone calls and data use and is still going strong. Ive used it so far this morning for streaming music, using apps, downloading apps, random screen use and a couple phone calls (only 10 minutes or so) and the battery is still at 85% after 4 hours.

So far that is it... really bummed with the audio but hopefully its a patch or something that can be fixed. Unless its somehow just the phone my wife and I both have and no one else notices it....then wtf.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
Audio seems pretty good through system speakers, haven't tried using through receiver or anything.

Face recognition does not work for me either, maybe have to turn it on? The little eye comes on but no workee.

Anyone have Odin and or drivers for adb to push recovery?

Camera sucks compared to evo lte, hopefully other roms, drivers, will fix this...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jnadke:
Maybe try adjusting some of the settings?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jbadboy2007:
Maybe it's the soc or dual mics cuz the evolte is the same way as far as in call audio and a popping noise. The evolte really strayed away from base ics as well. The evolte will also lock screen while you are viewing video on web pages that is soooo retarded. I can't wait til I get my gs3 :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coreyzw:
Well I messed with the call EQ (which thanks for pointing it out... had no idea) and it seems to have cleared it up slightly. The incoming voice is still muffled sounding though. Its missing lots of the high end. I used both "clear voice" and "right ear"... and they are the same. Ill be trying the personalized one later.

EDIT: Well nevermind... I tried to do personalized and it only will let me if I have a headset plugged in. Kind of stupid considering I dont and wont ever use a headset for phone calls.

I wear hearing aids and this phone has the best call quality of any I've used since my BB days. Also, the rear speaker is much easier for me to understand that on any phone...again since my BB Tour.

I think it;'s great.

Personally I love the home button. No fumbling for an unlit capacitive key in the dark :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MadFlava:
Samsung has won me back. This is a stellar device. Unless I encounter some crazy reception issues when Im out and about, Im going to declare this the best phone Ive ever had and for anyone that knows me, thats huge. I am the most anti-Samsung person on the face of the pllanet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
The evos cam kills this one so im kinda bummed but im sure some software can clean it up a bit... Quadrant scores are all over the place and always worse than the evos factory benchmarks, to make things worse this beast gets real hot and starts lagging but as soon as i put it in the freezer for about five minutes it runs better scores, anywhere from 3400 when super hot to 5200 when not... i hope roms/kernels will also help this... There are some pretty neat features on this and sound is pretty wonderfull... wish i had a samsung tv, (lol, most of the guts are but labeled rca) i would love to play with the wireless transfer... Keep on talking people;)

Edit, having the same damn prl issues as evo lte as well, damn sprint... touchscreen seems a bit off too...

@Jefenton, im glad this device is good for you while some things kinda piss me off, lol, im glad it helps people like you as i will be there pretty soon, hearing loss from the war pretty bad, so the way this phone is set up is just that much better for the less than fortunate/senses a bit jacked... Do you use talk back?

Love to hear all opinions even when we all don't agree on the pros and cons... opinions are like aholes in the fact that we all have them but that analogy stops right there, lol, i take the good with the bad and bad with the good... Our newest devices rock and one persons junk is anothers treasure;-) Have fun with your phones and no bricking, k:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coreyzw:
Well, played more with it over the weekend...

Audio quality (used the ear buds to do the custom EQ) is slightly better. Maybe I am used to my Nexus 1 that sounded stellar to me. Could also be that I am used to a different carrier.

Signal.. seems to be very low regardless of where I am in the city, perhaps there is an issue with it around here or its the phone. Anyone else having signal issues?

Data roaming..

Ok.. so the data roaming notification is pissing me off. I have WiFi at the house and the phones are constantly on it, however until the Airrave gets here, we have 0 cell service in the house. So the phone CONSTANTLY tells me that I might get charged for data roaming if I use data. This part was new for me as the N1 would just use WiFi for data regardless of the service level if it was active. I turned off the Mobile Data feature and it STILL is chirping at me every couple minutes about roaming! *%(($*%!!!

Camera... works great. Used it a couple times over the weekend while golfing and got some good action shots in high quality.

GPS... damn this thing locks on fast! Wife and I drove out to a new dog park with the pup and had a hard time finding it. GPS on the phone locked on almost instantly and tracked us every 1 second along the route which was nice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Ramy:
I am still waiting to get my phone on July 1st, coming from nexus s 4g, but as far as data roaming, go under the wireless settings, to mobile data, roaming, ur looking for an option called roam guard. If u turn off roam guard it won't altett u every time. It might also have roam notification or always roam options, mess with those as well. This is all on nexus s so I'm guessing its in gsiii too, good luck. Signal, might just be sprint signal, but hopefully its just indicator issue like previous phones. Best of luck on all the rest tho :-)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ricocollege:
Loving this phone so far, the sound is so much better than my GS2.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coreyzw:
Thanks for the info on the roaming alert...

So it seems that the reception issue isnt just a display thing. Ive driven all over our major highways and I never have above half. My wife drives around (shes the only one that really ever talks on it) and she drops calls left and right. My friend has the GS2 (or epic 4g touch, whatever they want to call it) and he has no problem with dropped calls or signal.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Ramy:
Glad to help on roaming...

Signal, uh oh that's not good...if it starts getting more widespread, it'll be a big issue, but it might be u two just got signal lemons somehow..I believe this is something u can return to the store and request a new one based on, since it seems to be an internal phone issue..hopefully all it is is those two devices freaking out, we've seen a few different lemons recently like the cracked casing units and such, so might just be like that..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vulcZ:
I wonder if these are available in-store yet. I'd love to play with one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Master Ramy:
Yea I don't think it is yet, I'm gonna try to go in on the 27th or so in the hope of playing with one ahead of my upgrade on July 1st, gonna try for that wirefly $150/16gb s3 deal..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
how do we get 40 million leaks but no actual release yet? I guaran-darn-tee you effin sprint is waiting to launch the S3 before releasing ICS for the S II so more people will be inclined to buy a new phone :\ >_> <_<

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/20/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-on-att-gets-android-4-0/
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Well considering the gs3 drops tomorrow, you would be right. But its not sprint alone holding it up, Samsung is trying to fix the brick bug in the kernel before releasing so they don't end up with 1 million bricked devices from performing a factory reset. Idk about you but I'd rather wait for something that works right and is stable than rush into something that could potentially destroy my device.

We are legion, for we are many.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] HaiKaiDo:
actually I work for sprint and we got a memo this morning that said the launch had been pushed back to next week. Dunno about pre orders, but the official launch for sprint stores wont be for a few days, atleast not in my area. And also I wasnt implying my wish for them to "rush", I just think its sad when att beats anyone at anything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] shabbypenguin:
except teh att sgs2 has the same thing >.>
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
Notice 4.0.3? WE have 4.0.4...

FD26 was the best leak we had and was completely OTA worthy and it was 4.0.3 but they restarted with 4.0.4.

We most likely would've been the first if we stuck with .3 but it is what it is...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Preorders I think are still on time a friend of mine got his tracking number for his and it's scheduled for delivery tomorrow. The delay on the ICS was cuz they found the brick bug and it can even brick from a factory reset in settings so it wasn't safe to release into the wild yet, especially since it would be samsungs fault and they would have to eat the cost on every device bricked, that would be financial suicide since it affects even unrooted devices and sprints go to fix is a factory reset. Imagine how many bricks would pour in in the first few days alone, let alone the period of time it took to push out a fix for it. I'm not in a huge rush for the ota tho since I prefer AOSP, I just want the damn kernel source like NAOW. That's the only thing I'm impatient for. But for now I can survive, its not like we don't have plenty of development to hold us while we wait :cool: it will come soon enough, I'm just glad for once they aren't rushing out firmware with issues like the initial release of the et4g with the LoS bug. Samsung is actually trying to step up their development image and compete with other manufacturers a little more compared to previously. They have come a long way since I had the intercept, that thing was flaky as hell and never made it past froyo.

We are legion, for we are many.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
This too we are a build ahead of every carrier that has been released so far which is a big + cuz 4.0.4 fixed alot of issues wwith flash and web based video without patched in workarounds.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ascertion:
If I'm not mistaken, FD26 had emmc brick bug.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
All ICS kernels so far have had the brick bug, its tied to MMC_erase_cap I believe is the string that causes the write error that damages the eMMC chip by writing to a partition that's not supposed to be written to.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BrandoKC:
After starting with the G1 I never buy any devices expecting anything as far as updates.

I'm rocking a 10.1 gt I bought on launch day. I've been running cm9 without a working camera for months.

I really don't understand the constant hand wringing over updates. The ICS ota will be here when its ready.

Its not like this phone just launched and it's going to be stuck on GB.

We have an outstanding development community that is providing us with a plethora of ROMs.

Most of the people clamoring for source just want a signature that says, "Rockingasupercoolkernelbro."

AT&T and T-Mobile have a 4.0.3 update with many of the same or more bugs. Who cares?

Our update will be here when it's ready. Enjoy the leaks and tremendous ROMs that we are lucky to have for the time being.

If the current kernels aren't giving you enough display time then invest in a spare battery and reevaluate what's important in your life.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] M1nze:
1 day at a time. :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Only reason Im waiting for source is for recovery so I can stop all the extra steps of odining el26 just to backup/restore, or try a new rom, flash a mod etc. Its just getting kind of annoying having to do 4 or so extra steps just to use recovery :banghead:

Who needs ICS? GB is rock solid and can be themed like ICS! (blazer 4.1 FTW)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
I've been running ICS since mid march, I tried going back to GB a few times and just couldnt do it. I'm running aokp with on-screen nav bar and the soft keys disabled, just couldn't handle the things missing in GB after all this time on AoKP. And I've had 0 bugs since about April when i started modifying aokp myself off of TCPs ports. Hell I haven't rebooted my device in 2 weeks since the last time I flashed a new build.

We are legion, for we are many.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] revamper:
I couldn't stand the lack of a 4g toggle when I tried it. Otherwise it seemed like a solid ROM. I'm just picky. There's usually just one thing that makes me go back to GB.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Ehh I don't have 4g in my area and where I get 4g I'm not there much so going to network settings to turn it on isn't a huge deal for me. Although if i had 4g I'd probably just make a shortcut to the setting with anycut or something similar. I'm pretty picky too that's why whenever I try to go back to GB a few small things missing make it seem so lacking even tho they are minor things, like the webos recent apps, the customization of the dropdown and lockscreen and a few other little settings/customizations that I always seem to crave when I'm on GB. I go back to a GB backup every now and then to update prl and profile and i can never stay on more than an hour or so b4 I'm running back to one of my AOkP backups

If police arrest you, and your smartphone is accessable to your person...

Police are legally allowed to boot up and read and find everything on it. And record it all down!!!

they can use what they find for warrants to storm your house.

Or your contact's!!

Durrhurr wait till its ready cause sprint/Samsung CARE about us. Delusions. Will be here till the end of time an you guys will just say "wait till its ready guys". Let people speculate/complain because if no one did we wouldn't even be getting an update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Its not us they care about, its their bottom line, having to eat the cost of bricked devices isn't something they are wanting to do. That would make the delusional person you for not understanding simple business finance :banghead:

I frequent the T-Mobile SGS2 forums because my brother in laws has that phone. A lot of people seemed to be complaining on the bugginess of their ics update. Go check it out for yourself. Maybe Sprint cares or maybe they don't want to deal with unhappy people.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metapy:
The 4G toggle works fine on build 39
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] proxy0:
If that was the case they wouldn't even update any phone. The only reason we are getting it is because people will complain an leave sprint. I sure as **** would. That's one of the reasons I left T-Mobile

They promised an update for a year then just up an decided not too. I don't think it'll happen here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nslayden:
Hi guys,

I tried to update my BONE STOCK Prime to the .28 update. I walked away for about a hour, came back and the screen is black, and nothing I do can turn the thing on.

I've done the following.

Held the power button from 2-120 seconds

Held Power Button + Vol Down from 10-120 Seconds

Pushed the Reset button for 30 seconds.

The only kind of response from the tablet I get is a vibration. The screen never turns on.

Does anybody have any other ideas that my get this thing started back up?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
Hold vol up and down and power for a short while before the vibraation occurs. Then release vol up and you should be good. May take several trys.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nslayden:
Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work.

Any other ideas out there?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sledgie:
let it drain completely so when holding power button it doesn't vibrate etc.

charge for 5 minutes. does red battery icon come on?

hold paperclip pinhole in for 30 seconds. release. does it boot or is it still black screen.

if still black screen, contact Asus. you may have it stuck in APX mode.
