[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gtuansdiamm:
A new nexus is around 8-10 months away and LG phones suck like crazy

And if you can play ganes on your of epic I'm pretty sure they will play nicer on the gs3

Its less worth it for me going from an et4g to the gs3 but I'm a phone junkie ill get it

And I'm pretty concerned about the easyness in breaking the phone so ill get some sort of protection plan
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] samdsox:
Its more like 5 months away ---> http://www.talkandroid.com/113162-b...ember-5th-to-celebrate-androids-5th-birthday/
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] alexanderd:
GS3 All the way

I love the GS3. I just got it the other day and it is an awesome phone. Very fast and blows my old Nexus S 4G away. I don't game much so I don't know how it performs playing a game. I ran a quadrant benchmark test and it ranked #2 right under the ONE X, but I believe that was for the international version.

It does seem a bit fragile though. I'm ordering an Otter Box as soon as the Defender model comes out.

All I can say is I love the phone and I would recommend it to anyone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] j1mmyc:
I just paid $550 for it because I didn't have an upgrade. I came from the s2 and I wouldn't say it's a huge upgrade but it's definitely a awesome phone and I'm glad I bought it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] dohturdima:
A few things are preventing me from getting the S3 now. The major one is Sprint's network as in Sprint's delay with LTE deployment and (currently) molasses slow 3g. More minor: I have an OG Epic and know that I will miss my physical KB. The last reason is I am hoping to see the 28nm low-power LTE chip phones, which will happen in 6 months or so but this is not a deal-breaker.

Wife's VZW S3 is on order.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] samdsox:
So your pretty much in the same position as me. I guess i will go to the sprint store and check out the gs3 to see if its worth it ( when they get it in...)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] lopezpm:
Upgrade! Do it! This phone (GS3) is great. I love it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] gtuansdiamm:

We nver get first dibs on the nexus

I tool that into account
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] El Nivek:
If you're referring to the video made by those case makers I'd take it with a grain of salt. The GSIII is pretty tough, although it might be more fragile than the GSII.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DataHawg:
Sprint's 3g is crapola here in Seattle so I can't do without the wimax on my E4GT. Lately 3g has gotten worse and wimax is better. I have an upgrade in September so I'm going to hold out until then. I might have more options like a new Nexus LTE rumored for November or maybe a Galaxy Note 2 on Sprint.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] samdsox:
See whats worying me is i asked this on a forum for the phone itself. I would have thought i would have gotten a bunch of biased yeses. If i asked on the evo4glte forum i would expect to get a bunch of biased nos. But i seem to be getting maybes and yeses. So this is making me more afraid to take that step to a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AZ FadeOut:
Any way to format the internal storage via CWM?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Not that i know, but you could just lock and unlock your bootloader to wipe everything.

Swyped on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SocialReject:
Flash stock recovery.

Factory reset device.

Sent from the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You can. You just need a script that will do it. If you can't find one, I can make one up for you tomorrow.

The other suggestions made will certainly erase you data/settings, but not the rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AZ FadeOut:
But formatting /system will erase the rom, but not the internal storage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
What do you want to erase? Just the data partition? You can easily do that either by locking and unlocking your bootloader or by doing a factory reset, as was mentioned. If you want to wipe your device, you have to do that with fastboot erase or via a script in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AZ FadeOut:
Basically I just want to make sure that by erasing my system I won't wipe my storage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Your rom is on the system partition (along with anything you install on the system partition via root). Your apps and settings and sdcard are stored on the userdata partition. Unlocking the bootloader erases the entire userdata partition. A factory rest in CWM erases the userdata partition EXCLUDING sdcard. A factory reset in the stock recovery erases the entire userdata partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Srkineo:
this worked for me:

-in recovery mount data and system

in adb shell type:

cd /sdcard

rm -rf directorynamehere

reboot

The suggestion to clear the data of maps was a temporary fix. At first it worked, then after awhile( about a day) it gets stuck again.

Did this work for you?

or did you find another way

[Vibrant General] sahil04:
I searched for a couple minutes and didn't find what I was looking for.

I've been out of the Vibrant scene for about 6 months now but I was looking to turn my Vibrant into a media player so I can just leave it in my car. If I recall correctly, there was a rom that disabled all cellular capabilities on the phone and made it just a touch screen media player.

My questions are:

1. Is there any benefit to using this rom as opposed to a regular rom and just using flight mode?

2. How is the battery life on ICS roms? Last time I had the vibrant I was using the latest Bionix.

Thanks for the help!
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
1. I'm not sure which ROM you're talking about but I think it was developed by Jellette.

2. ICS ROMS have come a LONG way since then. Battery life depends on your usage, but it is still par on with any other Froyo/GB ROM i've ever used. I use Miui V4 (ICS)

Sounds good, I'll go take a look around the development section.

The only thing I miss though is the feature

when you had a new text message, it woke up your screen.

Is that possible with CM9& the stock messaging app?

Is there some kind of mod or modded mms.apk or

Will replacing the messaging app keep the notification icon on the lock screen working, or do I have to keep the Samsung version for this functionality?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] FreydNot:
AndroidFan4, I can't thank you enough. Using your guide I was able to replace the touchwiz messaging app with the ICS messaging app without issue. I find delivery confirmations to be useless in the touchwiz version (the confirmation shows up as a second message). In the ICS app it works like blackberry messenger where the delivery confirmation appears as a green check mark next to the sent time.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Saturn1217:
This is fantastic and thanks for figuring this out.

I don't have the phone yet (still debating between the S3 or the Galaxy Nexus) but this might push me towards the S3.

One question though. The stock browser on the S3 does text reflow pretty weird. It doesn't let you pinch to a zoom level you'd like and then double tap to get text to reflow, something I've heard the Nexus does with no problems. I know it may sound silly but this is the main thing keeping me from the S3.

If you use the AOSP browser on S3 following these instructions does it follow the regular S3 style text reflow (I tested this on a demo unit and from what I could see text is just automatically squished to one side regardless of zoom level) or does it revert to the reflow behavior seen on a Nexus?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Isambard Prince:
Awesome. Thanks for this!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] AndroidFan4:
It will remove the Samsung messaging icon that notifies you in the middle of the lockscreen. You can however add the AOSP messaging app to the quick launch bar on the bottom of the lockscreen for essentially the same thing and you'll still get the LED notification and notification bar alerts for messages.

You can find that option under Settings/Security/Lock Screen Options/Shortcuts.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] AndroidFan4:
I no longer have the Samsung Browser installed so I can't test but you are supposed to enable the setting on the AOSP Browser by pressing Menu/Settings/Advanced/Auto-Fit pages in the AOSP Browser. I just tested and it doesn't appear to be working like it has on some of my other devices. Pinch to zoom will zoom in without reflow and a double tap zooms it back out. I'll double check with another AOSP Browser APK to see if it fixes it.
