Well my 64gb micro sd came today from Amazon and from what ive read on xda and the net I would need to change the file system from exfat to fat32. So I put it in the pc pull up mini tools partition wizard and it gives me no option to format it, I try windows no option for fat32 only ntfs or exfat so I try a couple of others with the same results. Then I try hp format tool and finally format it to fat32 then put it in my phone and it says its damaged and needs formatting so I do and put it back in the pc and im back to exfat. So it seems to only work in my phone in the exfat format soooo im just gonna leave it alone. Oh I even tried formatting it in command prompt and changing the file format and it fails so now im starting to wonder if thats what happened to my old 32gb card and why I suddenly starting having trouble out of it when I updated to jb is because it was fat32. Maybe this new jb dont handle fat32 well or maybe my s3 dont like fat32. Hell I guess its just a mystery. ....

When this phone first came out I didn't have an upgrade, my earliest one was almost a year. However, my BlackBerry had faulty hardware. The keyboard didn't work and the touch screen was of the worst. I called AT&T and they wanted me to take it to their big stores to get it checked out. The two nearest one were Atlanta and Nashville, TN I believe. However, I don't live anywhere near those two cities... :mad: I went to the AT&T store (Normal Store, not any of that Bull.) I talked the Manager into giving me an early upgrade (I am so thankful and lucky. :o) I got my upgrade almost 8 months earlier because I had just bought the other phone. I wanted an iPhone 4S because that is what was out at the moment. I had a 3GS since it came out and an iPhone 4. I have always like the them and I was a fanboy. However, they didn't want to give me the iPhone 4S I almost died... :banghead:

They had shirts on with pictures of the skyrocket and the Note because that was the star back then. I chose the Note and then I thought and I got the Skyrocket instead. I left the store feeling like this is going to be a bad experience. And it was the worst experience ever until I met rooting and flashing ROMs. What made it a bad experience was all the bloatware. The first time I rooted and flashed was because I wanted Ice Cream Sandwich and gingerbread stock was a terrible experience. I got a feel of that ICS goodness and it changed my mind, afterwards I flashed a stock ICS ROM unbloated. I went to Mohans early Embryo release (3.0) now I am stuck in Android and Google and everything else feels boring... :beer:

That's deep man. I used to be an isheep, but a few months after i has done everything possible to my iPhone 4 i got bored. That was when i got into android. Thing is the only reason i chose the skyrocket was cus my dad had the s2. Regardless once i got it my first endeavor was rooting it. After that is a blur :p. From rom to rom to rom. After a while i fell in love with it. Funny thing is i remember when i still had an iPhone and my friend had an android phone and we were arguing over whose phone was better and i was shamelessly trying to argue that the iPhone was better (i was young then). Now when i look back on that day i feel so dumb :D
[Off-topic] ActionMax09:
I was the same way. However, to this day I still recommand people the iPhone instead of Android. My reason is because you never know what is going to happen when you have an Android. For instance, I once downloaded an app from Google Play and when I came back to my phone a few minutes later my entire phone was full of applications I didn't download and links in the form of apps... Have you ever had that happen? Plus Android require a bit more knowledge if you want it running at its fullest. I can't see my mom with an S2 but I do see her with an iPhone. Bit Android suits me better because I know how to use it and I have got to have my customization. In conclusion, it does more.

And that is why I will never recommend a $200-400 iPhart 5 to someone over a $50 (with contract) Skyrocket that, let's be honest, is a better phone anyway.

I think most of us were iSheeps before. Until 2.1, Android was pretty much an unusable mess. Once I saw my friend's Motorola Droid, I fell in love with Android. :D

Age has it's price, but being in the over 40 +-10yrs ;) , it also gives you wisdom - I've only had a smart phone for just over a year, but I started off with Android, because I wanted to be able to change more than my wallpaper & case. :P

I wasn't like you guys I never went for iPhone it never appealed to me. I went straight to android starting with the Samsung moment then moving to the HTC evo 4g. The moment I had for quite some time spending lots of time on sdx developers rooted rom'd oc'd you name it. When I got the evo it was the powerhouse smartphone to beat development was fantastic I even got to use ICS until I switched to at&t. This was my first experience with gsm and this phone has been fantastic. Development early on here was slow but it picked up quickly and has become one of the most helpful and best I've ever seen. So I say kudos to the devs and those willing to put in time to learn.

[Off-topic] icenight89:
always been an android fan. first smartphone was a Sony Ericson x10. Unlike many people here however, when it comes to ALL my tech purchases, I always look at all competitor products and find which one I can MOD the most, and if that can offer similar features through third parties, I get it.

however, like many on here, I realize that android based phones are not for everyone. Unless u have a semi-comfort level with computers and tech in general, I recommend an iPhone to my tech-illiterate friends, they're just basically dummy proof.

with that being said, the tech friends I DO have, openly admit that without jail braking Iphones don't hold a candle to android based phones

Palm Treo - - > BlackBerry Curve - - >HTC Fuze - - > Samsung Captivate - - > Skyrocket for me. I've never gone for an iphone, probably because I've always hated iTunes and didn't want to have to rely on it to hook the phone up to the computer. The wife had the 3G and the 3GS before I finally convinced her to go with the GS3. She's not tech savvy at all, but absolutely loves her android phone and even prefers it to her old iphone. She says "Oh, u never could do that on my old phone" at least 3 times a week. Now, if I could just convince her to let me root and install a custom rom. But, alas, one step at a time.

+1 i also recommend iphone to most of my friends whose tech literacy are really low in the scale. iphone is one of those things when it comes out of the box it just works and can easily be learned. Android however needs a lot patience and know how to get to maximum usability. i'm no tech expert but i like customizing my phone to suit my everyday needs. i also like spending time doing "techie" things and learning about them. i find phones fascinating and i like playing with one. i started with an iphone but the real reason why I shift to android is the price point. my first smartphone was iphone 3gs 16g paid almost $400 for it with accessories and apple care. my second smartphone was HTC inpire, $50 + $20 in accessories. :) and finally my beloved skyrocket $10 +$36(upgrade fee)+ $50 accessories. Android is just plainly more financially smart to buy at that time. Now, I am an android fan all the way.
[Off-topic] kchen96:
I do prefer android because I understand how to get the most out of it, HOWEVER as stated before, for the casual user, Iphone is more reliable and just better. And to whoever said the Skyrocket is better than Iphone 5, that's just dumb. The only thing skyrocket wins on is the Os. If you gave me a choice on which phone to live with for 2 years, it would be the 5 hands down. However much I love android, the Iphone 5's hardware is just so much more superior. One thing I need in my phone is a good camera, and you have to admit, apple puts a damn good camera in their phone. One thing I've continually gotten more frustrated with is the shutter lag on our phone. The iphones camera is just superior I'm every way, AND has zero shutter lag. The front camera on the Skyrocket is a joke, even compared to the Iphone 4. The processor on the Iphone 5 is leaps and bounds better (I think our phone is snapdragon s3 not 4 right?) and battery life on the Iphone in my opinion is better also. While I'm not trying to be an apple lover, and I do prefer android, you do have to admit the Iphone hardware is always top notch. They may not have bleeding edge specs, but it just works. That's why for the average consumer, Iphone 5 wins. For us rooters and modders however , android is definitely the way to go
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
I spent a few days working with an iPhone 5. I saw nothing that blew my socks off, or even anything that stood out as head and shoulders better than the Skyrocket, and nothing that could even sniff the boots of my Note 2. To each his own, but it's far from dumb to say that the Rocket holds its own against the newest generation of iPhart.

I'm going back to an iPhone once my contract is up to be honest. I like customization, and I like the unlimitedness, but I miss my apps, and I have the iPad and MacBook Pro setup that would benefit from an iPhone in the mix. The Skyrocket is nice though, just really want 4.2 now though.

iAgree. iPhone cameras are always impressive. especially the iPhone 3G when it came out... Jk

IPhone 4s and 5 have nice camera. however, iHave used my brother iPhone 5 and it has the worst glare iHave ever seen on a modern smartphone. The only iPhone faster there the skyrocket is iPhone 5 and their is a catch. It is faster because unlike Android, iOS does not hog up your RAM. Seriously, my 1 gig on this phone is always 90% used up. If you want to customize your phone and jailbreak it well let's just say it slows your phone down to where it is crippled and then the phone shows you how it performs under heavy iOS task like opening an email.

Skyrocket > iPhone 5

S3 definitely better than iPhone 5

S4 will be, using your words, "leaps and bounds" above iPhone 5 or their next phone for that matter

If you love iPhone so much then go grab one haha.

Btw their A6 chip is clocked at 1.3.... They have the same 1gb of ram and the camera is a standard 8mp. I'd say the only benefit being the speed at which you can take photos, but who needs to take 100 photos a minute? The s4 will by many reports have a 13mp camera, so this isn't really a competition. Anywhere from a 1.7-2ghz processor (presumably quad core) will blow apple out of the water

Yea I've been looking at Samsungs laptops and comparing to other top of the line name brand models and I must say I've been very impressed with what I've seen and read. So much so I'm thinking that instead of a dell next time I'm getting a Samsung... I'm very satisfied with their phones so they are a company definitely on top of its competition. I also want that dog gone 60 inch internet ready LCD TV from Samsung to. That TV is freaking awesome
[Off-topic] PoXFreak:
I'm tempted to jump in and say something on laptops here, but seeing as I only use one to dev on I'm kinda limited on scope.

Acer has moved ahead a little in the affordable laptop area, but Samsung is gaining ground fast.

As for HP/Compaq/Gateway/emachines, Acer used to make them all. HPs' 7000 series was notorious for getting hot and breaking solder joints to the northbridge and GPU, especially nvidia 7 series chips.

Toshiba is a good buy if you can afford the price tag for a good one. Dell might be able to get you a latitude e-series for around 6 bills, the 6420 is good all around but you'll pay through the nose for extras.

Just my $.02

I've had a few laptops in my day, mostly macs due to my boyfriend being a apple fan ho.(he didn't start this way lol)

But the only laptop I had that I was super impressed by was one I got in a trade from craigslist, I traded my iphone 4 for a evo 3d & a hp g7 I got home and wow, it was so fast and huge screen, I loved it!

I sold it later, like a dumbface for a acer it was "new in box" but when I opened it it was a refurbished laptop, which I thought wouldn't be a big deal, it was, it was so slow, total crap. I have now tried finding the hp on CL again but hey go for 400$+ so I screwed myself on that one. :(

[Off-topic] Mike:
What do you mean there is no data to compare to? Usually there is a md5 on the website directly below the download. When you put the file on your phone all you need to do is navigate to its location using a file explorer, long press on it and select properties. Then compare the md5 on the file with the one on the website.
