[Galaxy S III Accessories] Diznario:
Just found these desktop docks at Mobile Fun:

Standard

http://www.mobilefun.com/35463-samsung-galaxy-s3-case-compatible-charging-dock.htm

Dual Charge

http://www.mobilefun.com/35464-samsung-galaxy-s3-case-compatible-dual-charging-dock.htm

Anyone use one of these? They look like they would hold the phone more securely than the Samsung dock, and they're fairly cheap as well.

One thing I'm curious about - With my old Nexus One, I used to be able to set the phone in the dock, and it would automatically switch into home mode. This mode would display the clock and weather, and then switch to a dim alarm clock at night. Anyone know if the S3 behaves the same way, or if any of the after market docks support this feature?

Update: I bought the standard version of this, in black. Here's some thoughts...

It takes a few weeks to receive one of these, since they are shipped from overseas, even if you order it from the .us version of their site.

The Galaxy S3 does not recognize this as a dock, so the phone doesn't automatically switch to desktop dock mode. This XDA thread has info on DIY hacking to address this. It's also been suggested NFC might be a good workaround for this.

The dock is fairly solid, and holds the phone securely. It's very light, but the footprint makes it pretty stable and unlikely to tip over if bumped.

It has a small pop out piece that allows docking the phone even when using a slim fitting case. I have the Rock Quicksand case, and it's a little bit loose, so something slightly thicker than that should still fit.

This is a good looking dock with a glossy black face and flat black sides, but unlike the pictures on the website, there's a white KiDiGi logo on the front of it. This logo is screenprinted on, and I'm not sure if there is any way to remove this without damaging the finish.

It has a standard micro usb connecter on the back of the dock, so any of your typical charging or syncing options should work. It also ships with a standard usb to micro usb cable, instead of the UK mains to micro usb cable as originally stated on their website. Perhaps they've changed this for the US market.

Overall, this is a pretty nice dock for the price.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Kid Poker:
It looks like it can be docked while the S3 is in a case. I wonder how thick the case can be?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] inningsdefeat500:
I was usedto the one from captivate so I ordered 2 of these

I just ordered the kidigi dual dock - I'll let you know what I think once it gets here from HK.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cweemin:
Apparently the maker (kidigi) has a white version.. I can't find it onsale anywhere yet.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] demarcmj:
I really like how there's no logo on the front. I don't mind saving a few bucks by getting a non-Samsung brand, but I don't like seeing the name of some obscure brand plastered across the front of the dock (like this one)

As for the part about the home mode... I suspect you could maybe accomplish this with an NFC tag. There appears to be enough flat real estate on the dock to fit a square on there. I don't know how well it would line up with the receiving part of the phone, which I imagine is more towards the center? Definitely some testing would need to be done before sticking it on.

EDIT: I just noticed in the item description it says it comes with a "UK AC Power Adaptor." Spelling mistake aside, I'm a bit bummed by that.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Diznario:
Excellent point on the NFC tag. That dock in particular does seem to have the perfect spot for it.

I bet that UK power adapter goes to micro USB, which then plugs into the back of the dock. That's how my last dock was. If that's the case, then you should be able to use any other micro USB power you have handy. but yeah, that is sort of a bummer.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 762x51:
There is another dock like this for sale on ebay too. The ebay one has an LED on the front of it though:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] stumanroo:
ME TOO! :D

I figured for $12 it was worth a try...and from a review I saw of one that looked identical but had a branding on it I felt it was a good option.

Plus from what I have read/watched it appears it may be a little nicer to play with a TPU case where I am not sure the Kidigi will work with most TPU Cases...though slim cases like the Rok case and others that more cover the back and sides but don't have the face lip appear they will work fine with the Kidigi with the insert out.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Vancelot:
I like having it sideways like this for a night stand clock. Does it go into clock mode when you dock it?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] djricekcn:
I like the sideways too, too bad the default OS doesn't go sideways on desktop view...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 762x51:
Just an update, I bought a spare charger from RND Power Solutions.....looks exactly the same as the Kidigi/Mugen charger posted on the first page. Unfortunately it will not charge batteries to 100 percent.....they only get to about 85% or so. This seems to be the issue with most of the aftermarket spare chargers out there right now. According to RND, this is because of the different voltage the S3 uses for overcharge protection and the manufacturer is working on a solution.

I'd stay away from these chargers till they get it fixed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Bowsa2511:
Man, I just want some good ones on Amazon with prime ;/
[Galaxy S III Accessories] MMakoto:
just FYI, mobilefun US and UK seems to be the same company, but all their US orders are believed to be sent from their UK location, this is not something that is stated on their US site. i ordered a case from their US site on july 8th and just received it today on the 18th, and the shipping address on the package is from their UK location.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Diznario:
Just got mine today. I've updated the original post with my thoughts.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Jaxidian:
I want to know if this would work with the Incipio Silicrylic two-piece case. Based on the OP's comments it sounds like it would but I'd rather not throw away $30 if it didn't.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sanjsrik:
I've had one of these stands, works with any type of phone. very very very very sturdy. I've had this for quite some time. Worked with my evo and my touchpro2:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kobusestas:
I ordered one and it said it was shipped on 7/3 and it's 7/22 and I still have not received it. I contacted their customer service and they've been slow to respond. Hopefully I'll be able to get my money back.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] inningsdefeat500:
still haven't received it

Edit: Got it, it's a piece of craaap
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kobusestas:
Update: They contacted me back and said that they would ship another one ASAP and upgrade me to the premium shipping method which does include tracking information.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Diznario:
Here's a couple of shots of the KiDiGi dock using my S3 with the Rock Quicksand case on it. Should give you an idea of how snug of a fit it is.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] faulkton:
this is what happened to my mobile fun order, although they never did provide tracking info on the second order.

Then both orders showed up within 2 days of each other.

Both shipped from UK without mentioning that on the site.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidebanks:
Im very new to android and was very surprised that the GS 3 was giving me lower than expected framerates when playing NOVA 3. I wrongly expected that the phone would be able to run all games at 60fps. bad NOVA 3 seems to run at between 40fps - 60fps...... very rarely staying at a constant 60fps. or is it just my phone?? i have noticed the same with riptide too. most of the time it is very smooth but when all of the jets are on the screen at the same time the framerate drops... so im really hoping that jelly bean will help to fix this or not???

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
To answer your question in simple terms, No Jelly Bean will not increase the performance of gaming on the S3.

Project Butter enables VSYNC for window transitions and animations in the operating system, meaning that the FPS is increased to a constant 60FPS. Obviously other things are done so that the devices can handle this change, but this is what happens at basic level. For this to be incorporated into games, you will have to get the developer to make the same changes and make it work effectively with your phone's hardware.

But no, project butter only affects the Android OS animations, and not gaming.

Someone is welcome to correct me if I am wrong and I will change this post accordingly. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidebanks:
If i wanted to get an iphone i would have got one instead of the S3. i know that jelly bean improves the fps of the ui to 60fps, but what i wanted to know if anyone knows is will jeyy bean also improve the framerate of games?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanceOff:
Consequently No.

thanks DarkRyoushii. all i needed to know! :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
This is completely incorrect, sorta? If you install Nova Launcher, it's essentially a game. I know you don't play it, but it's an application that does exactly the same as a game, uses your phones CPU and RAM. Project Butter works by ramping up the CPU each and every time the screen is touched in all aspects of the OS, be gaming or custom launcher. This may not increase the speed of a game or improve it, because it's mainly more responsive to touch so I'm not too sure about that bit.

JB is a new version of an operating system, it changes nothing in the layout of the filesystem.

You can, with some manual work and root, already move the apps to the external sd.

I'm sure someont will make an app for that but for now it's as good as it can get

What about battery? Will jelly bean increase battery life
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keijames:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nativestranger:
Higher frame-rates and more aggressive cpu scaling won't increase battery life.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] survivor_evil:
I differ from all who said it doesnt improve on games. Games that used to be laggy on my nexus with ics now play smoothly on jellybean
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultiLockOn:
Ugghhh, So many misinformed people. The reason games don't play smoothly is because they're not optimized to fit with the modified mali400 gpu. Give it time, games will be optimized. Hell nova3 runs like butter on my s2 and the gpu is similar. It is possible for an os to increase gpu performance, ics saw a 20% improvement over gb. But i doubt they changed Amy code dealing with that for jb.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
No, it will not.

The reason games are smoother and faster on the iPhone compared to the S3 is the same reason why PS3 games are smoother than the latest and fastest pcs. It's because games are optimised specifically for the iPhone, while android games are all lousy ports.

To have a game run super well on the s3, we'll need to hope for a Mali-optimised game, which won't happen any time soon, considering the influence of ios and tegra.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPhilo:
Yes it will improve the framerate somehow. In theory it shouldn't but it does.

For example, before Samsung Galaxy S2 got the ICS update, on Nenamark 2 it only achieved around 47fps, now with 53fps with ICS update.

Another example would be the Nexus 7, while it has a Tegra 3 built in, it's GPU is a lower clock at 427Mhz (Something like that) and achieves 55fps on Nenamark 2 compared to Asus Transformer Prime with a higher clock GPU (533Mhz) and only achieving around 48fps. (Both have same resolution, but different Android OS, Jelly Bean vs Ice Cream Sandwich).

I'll be getting the Galaxy S3 (Again) but the blue version (Grey-ish really), but I remember that Nova 3 and Riptide (With Tegra effects) played smoothly on Siyahkernel v1.2.x, I don't know now, but give it a try.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathanyong:
It won't necessarily require JB to make games run faster. It'll require Samsung to provide updated drivers for the Mali GPU. Whether that comes with an ICS or a JB update is irrelevant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truecrisis:
Ok, so whats the deal!?

There's no SD card in the Gnex, so it has this "virtual SD CARD" which is simply a folder in the filesystem right?

Therefore, if I format the phone, it should also format the /sdcard/ directory too right?

I thought so! But no?

How reliable is this "virtual sdcard" and by what means can it be formatted??

When am I in danger of losing information on it, and when can I be sure it wont be formatted?

Normally I would just pop it out if I was afraid it would get formatted.

Also why doesnt the camera folder get erased when doing a format!?

TL;DR

Please explain

How the /sdcard/ works and in what situations am I in danger of formatting it?

Does a "nandroid" backup back up this part of the phone??

Why do certain directories not get erased when I factory reset my phone? Whats the rhyme & reason behind this?

Maybe explain the camera and screenshot folders too?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
Factory resetting from the stock recovery will wipe the /data/media/ directory.

All custom recoveries will wipe /data/ while ignoring /data/media/ (thus leaving it intact).

Anything you have on your "SD card" will be saved into /data/media/.

That includes pictures, nandroids, downloads, etc.

And no, nandroids do not back this up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
Seems like a close enough thread for question without starting a new one. My nexus is reporting 2gb used for apps, 1.5 for pictures/video, 3gb free and 13gb total. So where did I lose 7gb? I can't seem to locate this other 7gb of used space. When I use root explorer it seems my sdcard shows twice once as sdcard and another time as sdcard0. Any ideas what I can do to get space back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Flashed many ROM's?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
Ya I've flashed a lot AOKP builds before wiping and going to JB. Any idea how I can get my space back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yalouf:
Same here.

Since JB i have sdcard0 as well, and it seems to have the same data as the other...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
Yeah, exactly same

Does anyone know if superwipemwould help here, I've never used it but if it will get me storage back in order I'll give it a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Why not just try wiping your Dalvik cache and see what happens?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
ya tried that already
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mr mystery:
I'm short 7gb any ideas would be much appreciated, can I format it somehow and then flash again somehow or would formatting the whole drive be a bad thing???

Thank you:good:

It seems that the way the system is creating the symbolic link to sdcard is either different on JB or is just messed up because for me it shows sdcard -> /storage/sdcard0 and the def shows /storage/sdcard0 as the mount point.

I'll try to change this to what is shown on your output. Maybe it will fix the issue.
