[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TheAggression:
I'm coming from a Samsung Vibrant and now have the GS3. The Vibrant has the same specs as your fascinate my friend and the change in performance is night and day if you were to get the GS3. If you feel that 1GB of ram and up is pointless, I encourage you to stick with your phone. Just know that I can do things with the GS3 I wouldn't dare do with my Vibrant thanks to its limited ram (512mb) because things would get as you put it "...A week bit slow". The transitions from app to app is unlike anything I have ever experienced on an Android device and is Sooooooooooooooo seamless. I can only imagine this phone on Jelly Bean lol. Heck I thought I'd get the seamless/lag free experience with my Asus Transformer Prime with a Tegra 3 Quadcore Processor, running ice cream sandwich, and has 1GB of ram BUT naw. My Tmobile GS3 handles apps with no problems that my Prime sometimes chokes at. This phone is a beast!!!

Lol. You can say whatever you want to comfort yourself but we all know it is due to pure denial
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] zmore:
This thread is hilarious with all the insecure & uninformed people trying to justify why (their international's) 1GB should be enough for everyone. :)

FACT #1: RAM is many orders of magnitude faster than even the fastest flash storage, so the more the merrier (up to a limit: as more RAM consumes slightly more energy), as it eliminates re-loading times.

FACT #2: Having more RAM doesn't really increase synthetic benchmarks much, but it does vastly improve the qualitative FEEL of the phone when task switching between tons of apps that haven't had to be pushed out of memory yet to make room for something newer in the stack.

FACT #3: Unused RAM == wasted RAM, so don't obsess about killing apps with task managers or about looking at "memory free"; just let Android handle it.

FACT #4: When Chuck Norris does pushups, he doesn't push himself up, he pushes the Earth down.

I think 2gb of RAM means this phone will be good for another three years easily. I'm not a big gamer as it kills battery life but the my S1 was getting slow to do basic things. Great decision to upgrade in my view.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] BBlunts456:
I find that the 2gb of RAM is useful when using a different launcher. I'm using apex launcher with 0 lag. I'd take more RAM over quad core any day. It really is about time we got the better phone than the international version.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] TechSilver13:
I'm glad I don't have pink camera issues like the international version of the s2 and s3. I had an international s2 and sent it back to amazon because it was so bad. I'll enjoy my 2gb but I'd like 2gb and a quad core. Either way is a win win really. My s2 was always at the brink of using the 834 or whatever it was. I have never hit over 600mb on my s3....its nice to have that extra memory.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] americasteam:
Have you used the LTE versions of the One X and the S3? If not, your post is really useless on the matter. Things have changed with the next gen hardware.

Amazing.....

2GB of ram and LTE is more useful than higher AnTuTu benchmarks, that much will be true a year from now when the International boys will be wishing their quad core cpu's could process LTE data or that AnTuTu benchmark scores could somehow make running Linux in a VM more smooth.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Diviance:
There is nothing to expand on. More RAM is good. End of discussion, really.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] paz2005:
this phone multitasks like a CHAMP.

i am so damn glad I returned my HTC One X -- that phone is a joke in comparison to the overall S3 user experience (everything would constantly reload on the HOX -- it was maddening).

I haven't had a single webpage or app reload yet on my S3, & i'm loving every second of it.

Samsung putting 2GB of RAM was a very, very smart move.

Please read this thread over at the international GS3 forum.

Other users including me have issues with multitasking on that phone with only 1GB ram. Just because you are happy with your phone doesn't mean there's no issue experienced by others. While I love the phone to bits, it definitely could be better with more memory.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] ceo.mtcl:
I have got both att and international version. I have international version rooted as well. I have no issues with with either versions with multitasking. I don't have lte in my area so that doesn't change anything for me.

International version is my daily driver because it is smoother than att version. Keep in mind that att version is better than any other US phone out there right now but unless you use international as well you won't know the fluidity and smoothness that international version offers.

I also go them both and I stick to my idea that yhey added 1gb ram to the usa version just to shut up usa customers whinning why they always end up getting screwed. Not to mention that the S4 uses more memory than the exynos and of course it needs more memory allocated.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Lieu10ant:
can you do a video comparison running both phones at the same time, running many apps and switching between them? so we can see at what point the 2nd gig of ram comes into play? that'd be interesting to see i think.

Before I did a master reset, I was able to delete it, but now I can't, so I had to make a new APN for SimpleMobile and it's causing me problems. I can't even edit the APN.

Use an app called APN backup and restore from the market. It allows you to delete all apns, from there you can create your simple mobile apn again

I've been using ICS for a while and I wanted to go back to GB but I can't get the play store to work. I've tried Hellfire, CM, and EB with the same problems. I've downloaded Gapps from different places and even the tweaked versions and same problem. I am on the latest BB but plashing over the fix is suppose to fix it even on GB.

Anyone else run into this?

Here's a extensive run down of the flash I run from ICS:

Run Nullifier Dual-Wipe 2.0.6

Install Rom

Install Fix

Install GApps

Fix Permissions

Reboot

Let phone sit for 15+ mins

Log into phone w/out putting in the google info

Restart into recovery

Fix permissions 3x

Reboot to ROM

Go to Settings and put in my Google Account

Reboot to recovery

Fix permissions 3x

Reboot to ROM

Open GApps ... Force Close always happens ...

Thanks in advance

Edit: ICS works fine but I do want some of the functionality of GB that ICS just doesn't have yet without the official drivers released.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
Dang you do about 3x more steps than I do when switching ROMs, have you tried clearing the market data in the manage apps menu? You're flashing the right Gapps for whatever GB ROM you're using also?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] draky:
Yeah, that's a lot but I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything.

I did try to clear data/fix permissions/reboot... same problem.

And yes, I downloaded the "tweaked" Gapps for HFP and the Gapps from Cyanogenmod when using CM7, ect. Nothing seems to work. And it's only for GB, ICM doesn't have this problem. It doesn't make sense to me unless it's something in my google profile that's doing this.

I am running Win 7 x64 ultimate. I have a AT&T S3. I have tried every port on my laptop. I have updated Kies. I have tried the drivers from here http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I747MBBATT. I can't get the 'Samsung Mobile MTP device' to install correctly. Can anyone help?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sfernandez:
If you installed the drivers and restarted your computer, just open Odin and plug phone in while on (NOT DOWNLOAD MODE/ JUST HAVE ODIN OPEN) let computer recognize your phone(Install drivers) then shut down Odin and you should be ready to go
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bird333:
Thanks for the reply. However, this did not work. I should be able to connect to a PC to transfer files but I can't. I have now tried this on two other PC's (another Win 7 ultimate and a Win XP SP3). Watching device manager, it seems like the driver is ok for a minute (i.e. not yellow exclamation mark) and then it pops up. On the XP machine, I just tried to let Windows find the driver (i.e. I didn't dowload it from Samsung) every 30 seconds or so Windows just keeps popping up with the 'found new hardware' message. I am getting error 'code 10' saying the driver can't start. In a virtual machine, I tried another Win XP SP3 in which I did install the Samsung drivers and I got an error saying that the device wasn't found in the INF file. There are alot of subdirectories inside the Samsung USB driver folder, does anyone know which driver should be installed for this? I want to manually try to install it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] limeaid:
I had the same problem as you. Guess what fixed it? Using a different usb port on the same machine. Weird, I know, but it worked for me though I have no idea why that would make a difference
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] bird333:
Been there done that it didn't work. I did a factory reset and it worked on this XP pc I am using at work. I'll try it on Win 7 when I get home. I didn't let google download all my apps this time to try to keep the phone clean. Before I had Launcher Pro (didn't use it though) and ADWLauncher Ex (I did use this one) both of which are home screen launchers. I don't know if something with ADWLauncher messed something up with the USB debug or what. This XP machine was behaving like USB debug wasn't checked when it was. About every 60 seconds it would detect the MTP device but I never could actually browse the phone.

My new SGS-3 has that same feature but my wife's SGS-2 does not and she has been begging me to find a custom rom with that feature.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jjc_01:
What version of Linux are you using?

The GSIII, like the GNex, uses MTP to transfer files, and some Linux distros might not support that automatically.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Pirateghost:
Sudo apt-get install mtpfs
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zmore:
MTP also "just sortof works" with Gnome3 & Nautilus in Fedora 17.

Two major problems, though:

1) Even though it shows both the internal and external (as the same device name), only the internal actually works.

2) Transferring files in MTP or PTP mode is not reliable. It'll often hang, leaving files truncated, so you have to manually reconnect and try again.

So, yeah, MTP still sucks in Linux.

Yeah I have been having issues with a galaxy note lately. Mtp does indeed suck
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] plaut:
Not to deny the suckage of MTP under Linux, but are you sure writing to the external card doesn't work? I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 (natty) and, although it looks like the external drive is mounted (store00020002) but empty, if I give an explicit destination filename when copying to it, it works fine for me.

[Edit: I should also have said that things work even though mtpfs (or mtp-detect) gives the error you list - I think there's something nonstandard about Samsung's MTP implementation]

Yep, but on eBay you get your item and you're stuck with it unless it's broken or something. On Amazon you can get a refund even if you don't like the quality. I normally don't use eBay unless I have to.
[Member-Found Deals] mbh87:
You can buy the case 2-3 times over though at the price you are paying for just 1 in the OP, so I would say your chances would be pretty good.
[Member-Found Deals] cajunflavoredbob:
Meh. On that point we're just going to disagree. I just feel safer buying from a seller on Amazon than on eBay. I do use eBay every so often. I just got a BNIB HD2 a few days ago for $200, so it's not all bad. I'm just leery of the accessory market is all. Lots of copies and knock offs, you know?
[Member-Found Deals] mbh87:
Just realized it's half off the already half off price, that's not bad then, but still a few bucks more than eBay ones.
