[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] CappyQ:
I don't actually have the phone yet, but did they remove the option under Wireless Settings --> Mobile Networks called "Use only 2G networks"? That's usually a stock setting. If they did remove it, guess it'll be available via CyanogenMod soon. :]

Did your previous smartphone have a decent microphone for video recording? In my experience, no smartphones have microphones capable of decently capturing bass... heck, even point-and-shoot cameras tend to be terrible at it now. I agree that it's lame, but this isn't a specific fault with the Galaxy S 3 as much as smartphone mics in general.

As far as battery life goes I have zero problems at all with it... I mean idk if your screen time is like 6+ hours with heavy usage or what.. I came from vzw and comparing it to any LTE phone I had on their network the S3 has great battery life..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stepinmyworld:
and yes.. the galaxy s 2 for tmobile actually sounds way better.. i guess we'll just have to take it on the chin because previous galaxy s deices had better audio recording quality. It seems to be better on the US version than the international one. I may be getting the phone back.. i returned it because I was very unhappy this these particular issues. But i need a new phone! damn thing makes you go through the emotions lol
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] CappyQ:
Sucks to hear that - but I can confirm that the original Galaxy S (Vibrant on T-Mobile) had one of the worst microphones I've ever used on a device. Any recordings I made at concerts were completely inaudible and unusable.

You returned your phone over poor camera audio quality? How often do you record videos with your phone? You could buy a 1080p-capable Canon PowerShot that takes better video/audio for between $100 and $150.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stepinmyworld:
I do often and have many videos.. it's just convenient and fun to be able to use your phone to record videos which it's store for viewing later as well.

If i do get it back.. i will definitely just use my REAL video camera now to record stuff.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] androholic:
The large text is one the reasons ppl say touchwiz looks "cartoony". The icons have always been oversized, as well as the text, and combine that with amoled colors that look under life like, and things do look as if they're right out of a cartoon. Samsung has the best hardware available, but their UI could look a little more "mature". I think Samsung is aware of people's disappointment here though? Unless the one x makes it Tmo, I don't think you'll do any better than the gs3. But, you could give the note a try, the video on it is very good, and I don't recall the audio appalling me, but your probably more critical in that area than I am. Also, the icons and text look slightly smaller on the notes 720p display because of its larger size. Good luck Bro, I hope you end up with something you don't have to settle for.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stepinmyworld:
agreed and I appreciate that. Something's telling em to hold out until after google Io conference and see what Jellybean will bring and what new phones will be released on tmobile.. wish tmobile could use more unlocked phone on their hspa+ network.. so annoying
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] cashyftw:

This just happened to me - I was hiking all day and didn't need 4G - no option for 2G only what the hell? Why would they do that? As much as they tried, I will still be putting a custom rom on this phone.

The galaxy S3 has Bluetooth 4.0 , so it should have Bluetooth MAP right? My messaging is not working at all on my 2012 charger UConnect 8.4nav system (beats). I have heard that CM 7 has implemented it. What are the chances the SGS3 could get that put in by Samsung if it's not already there? If the SGS3 does have Bluetooth MAP how do I get it to work?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] carica42:
move this post to the new questions thread please.

Hopefully a Dev can add this to one of their roms but this unadresses issue will never get seen if this is not moved to the active section.:confused:
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Voltage Spike:
This isn't terribly helpful, but...

The Galaxy S III runs a Bluetooth MAP service and a message notification service. It also asked me for permission to access these services when I first paired (but I have not yet tested the MAP functionality).

It should work, and I would start by re-pairing and paying attention to the window prompts that come up.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] carica42:
messaging access profile not requested.

I tried pairing again looking for a popup that mentions messaging. the popup only asks for permissions for contacts and music. Messaging is never mentioned.

o I deleted the phone on the car stereo.

o I unpaired the stereo on the phone.

o I attempted to pair from the stereo but the stereo

automatically gives a pass code and tells you to

continue on the phone. :mad:

I'm using the standard messaging app, Are you using the AT&T messaging app?

What stereo are you getting it to work with?

Different launcher different memory consumption. Which launcher out there consumes the less battery? Any ideas?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] the2rrell:
TW
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nitr8:
TW? /me pukes, slow, bloated and ugly imho

Zeam if you want low resource usage

Apex and my no1 at this time.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] the2rrell:
Usually i would agree, but the TW on the S3....is close to greatness i have ever seen from samsung

and im tired of ALL launchers, Go launcher is crap and is a battery hog. Adw Luancher ex is ok(smooth) but still same transitions and icon crap, APex Blah, Nova Blah, Trabuche BLah whats the difference again....lol. TSF shell......now this is a launcher that is SUPER DUPER smooth, and acutally makes the phone feel different in the way you set things up and locate them( probably my favorite After market Launcher)

then we have TW, the features are GREAT, the settings are cool, and yes it is smooth....once on a custom Stockish Rom. maybe just be me, but i actually think TW out shined most lauchers with this version.

just my OP though
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nitr8:
That's OK, but TW does NOT PLAY nice with multidpi try it at 182 or let alone 120 and see what a dog it is....
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] jonny68:
you must be off your rocker mate:eek: there is absolutely nothing wrong with Touchwiz in the slightest, it''s blazing fast and looks the business, if i was to shoot a video of me using my phone now and anyone had the audacity to come back and say anything like you have said i would recommend they seek help.

You are on the internet. People have different opinions than you here.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ekjl:
The latest Touchwiz Nature UI on the S3 is pure awesome!

Samsung did an amazing job! They are definitely on the right track.

I never liked Touchwiz on the S2. Now that was bland and boring.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ddurandSGS3:
does TW allow custom icons and the use of beautiful widets and apps lke that?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] androb0t:
nova launcher....

got both paid nova and apex...still prefer nova
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] komugi:
Nova, purely for the in-App Drawer folder :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] trungvirgo:
Thanks for sharing
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Product F(RED):
TW launcher is great, but it has one big bug. If you put two or more app icons that have long names (try Go SMS Pro next to Chrome Beta), you'll see the launcher starts to lag noticeably while shifting between homescreens and scrolling through scrollable widgets. Once you remove one of the two, the lag disappears. It's weird. I tried clearing data and everything and it's still there.

That being said, the only thing I miss about the TW launcher is the app drawer animation. Get Nova launcher, make the drawer background semi-clear. Then check the option to hide the dock divider. BAM! You have a lag-free version of the TouchWiz launcher.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nitr8:
different strokes for different folks... Just because I think a chick might be sexy, does not necessarily mean everyone here will agree.

I might be off my rocker, but it seems that you speak more crap than me :p

TFS shell very fluid and battery friendly
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] robbiekhan:
Features? What features? It lacks features.... It looks way better than previous TW launchers and everything but it doesn't do anything special beyond that.

There are no gesture shortcuts, , no grouping/tabs/advanced folders like Nova has, no grid scaling options, no widget overlay options...

I just got my LG OPTIMUS ONE P500 stolen a 3days ago, I am so pissed right now, but hey what can I do... I live in mysore, so no warranty and no police claim will get it back for me...

I never kept my gps enabled unless I was using it so no tracking software will be able to track my phone, I already blocked my number with my carrier so I guess there is not much I can do to track it.

at present i m trying to install plan b & android lost to track my mobile.

is der any other way to get back my stolen phone

please help me guys....

Thanks,

Nope. I was going to suggest AndroidLost but you've already tried that. Now, just pray that they work. :) Good luck, kano.

Consider this a learning experience and install tracking software on your next Android, or this one if you find it. I suggest AndroidLost.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orsonbear:
if you have the phone imei it's simple for a carrier to track the phone, sadly this can be done only by police request !

help !!! need help finding my mobile

2day i lodged a complaint in police station, bt those people r saying it is impossible to find the mobile now a days as der is development of softwares which can change the mobile imei number.

is dat true or they just bluffing ?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orsonbear:
It's true but this can be done by higly skilled people. So, depends on who stole your phone, if it is an ordinary person it is highly unlikely it has changed the imei, if it is a phone technician (or if the phone was given to him) then may have already changed the imei, but who knows? Surely if you had been the son of a minister, the police would be really committed to find the phone, I'm sorry not to be able to help more :(

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] *KLoWn*:
Ok I know this must be a common question and I have searched however there appears not to be a guide on how to root a stock 2.3.6 phone. I received my phone from a warranty replacement and it came stock with 2.3.6 and all the methods i see have issues rooting 2.3.6 (Breaking wifi) so please help.

Yes Total noob here trying to get ICS and unlock hotspot function on phone. Been reading like crazy and feel pretty lost...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BobbyBlue:
If you take a look in the dev section, theres a thread showing the different ways you can root. (I can't post links for some reason)

Long story short, you have to go back to 2.3.4, root, then update to 2.3.6. You can also download and flash a different kernel that will enable root. Personally, if it were me, I would wait about a week before rooting or updating anything, beuase theres talk of an official ICS release being released on kies.

It seems to be smoother than gingerbread, and thats saying something.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] *KLoWn*:
Ok but the official version will still be locked on tethering hotspotting yes?

Or will the devs start working around the official version to root it so we can unlock that functionality?

Main reason I need wifi hotspot is I have a GPS that needs to be able to connect to wifi to get updates on traffic weather ect..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Don't give people wrong info, you sure can root 2.3.6, the sticky should handle everything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fmarino22:
I used # 3 in this thread:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Tubifex:
As said above go to the dev section to see how to root. Also if you want with the stock ROM and WiFi teathering go here http://goo.gl/DqmJN.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Says who? The general consensus is that GB is still much smoother as far as touch response goes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fmarino22:
I'm running Official ICS Release from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1650948

Also the latest siyah kernel. This is running very well and I have no regrets going this route but I can't honestly say it is smoother than gingerbread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
To be completely fair, whether or not the phone runs smoothly depends more on the kernel than on the rom. So the performance you're getting running LE5 rooted with Siyah kernel isn't necessarily indicative of the performance of stock unrooted LE5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fmarino22:
I couldn't agree more. That's why I stated that I wasn't running stock unrooted but my observations with what I was running
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
I know; I was just stating it for everyone else. ;)

I dropped the phone and then..... Everything works fine. Anyone has done the glass replacement?:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] chrstndsgnr:
Did the same thing to my phone

The only difference is that it's the top corner only with a few cracks going down and across the screen.

Haven't found any glass replacement. Sadly with all the looking I've done, the only solution seems to be replacement of the entire front display. Most prices I've seen on eBay and the like were $250+, but I think Samsung will do a warranty repair for $200, not sure as I've not called them myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
I am going to fix a friend's note and I found out you cannot just pull off the gorilla (panty) glass. You have to replace the LCD and digitzer as a complete unit. There are YouTube videos showing the steps.

You are probably looking at $265 for the digitizer/glass combo. It's a simple repair, but the glass isn't cheap. I'd almost venture to say your best bet is to start hunting around Craigslist and sell your old one for parts. I'm sure someone somewhere has water damaged their phone and needs a new main board.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] PaulF8080:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] *Omnipresent*:
Sorry to hear about the damage bro but....Dude, no case? Anybody carrying their note around naked is asking for trouble. Cases are cheap, compared to the repair/replacement costs of the Note's s screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] stedounel:
I have repaired many, many iphones from broken glass to all out dead. Done some Android work as well. One thing I notice is that the replacement screens on most phones either look cheap, feel cheap, are prone to horrible finger printing, digitizers work but only so so, etc.

I busted my hump and found a Defender for mine locally for 30 bux! Repair cost is way too high and I guarantee that the only repair that will feel and work like a Note should, will be factory refurb.

There is no sense in carrying a caseless Note. Trust me, if you break it and have repaired, it will never be the same, unless you can prove the parts that you use are OEM. Another thing to watch is that some of the OEM parts you may find actually turn out to be parts that Samsung themselves rejected for reasons unknown. You will find those reasons out once you put them to use.

Make sure that your source is trusted, or sell your phone on ebay for parts, add a couple hundo's and get fresh unit. Save yourself teh wasted cash, effort and overall PIA!!!! It won't be worth it. :(
