[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] DroidGnome:
Coming from an original EVO with Sense.. the performance of this phone is amazing... love the hardware..

Touchwiz... ug... While I always use a custom launcher anyway, it's the 'little' things that Sense did which I love, specifically the contact list...

In fact I really hate this contact list so bad, it might cause me to swap this for the Evo LTE.. I just cannot stand seeing Facebook, twitter, linkedin ,outlook and gmail contacts as seperate entities... no reason I should see 5 entries for some of my friends.. Sense had it right with their linking option.

ALso loved the aggregation of Facebook, messenger etc.. that sense did. (Though the app "Contapps" has something very similar, it's almost perfect in fact, just hate the contact navigation itself there...)

(And no Touchwiz's linking is horrible as you have to manually link everything!! That's going to take me HOURS to do.. sheesh).

Overall the phone is great.. just irks me that the "PHONE" portion is the most neglected piece of the entire software.. seems somewhat Ironic.

sometimes it hurts my eyes looking at the screen on the s2! :p:D

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] thehavock18:
I am coming from the s2. I previously had the captivate and my wife has the one X. Just some background.

Out of box experience is by far the best in the S3. Touchwiz is much better than it was on the S2 however I believe it hinders the overall experience. Samsung out a lot of thought into extra features that I do enjoy like smart stay and auto call from text messages. S-voice was a failure and should have been left out. With my S2 running AOKP it ran blazing fast. The S3 will be laps and bounds faster once we get AOKP/ASOP.

Other features I love is being able to use and power my WD passport hard drive along with being able to swap my SD card without pulling the battery. NFC works wonders between the One x and the S3. Social addition to the camera like smile detection and facial recognition.

Things I changed are removing a ton of bloat and installed nova prime and Swype keyboard. I am able to get average 5 hours screen on time with LTE running with full sync.

Things I don't like is smart stay doesn't work in low light. S voice was a gimmick. Touchwiz theming and lack of options. The bloat Att added. Battery drain out of box was horrible but easily fixed. I had to buy a new mhl adapter. The browser doesn't reformat text like the S2.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sabre31:
It's okay nothing stellar its not any better then one x or gnex. All of these new phones are same crap in different skin or coating, it's getting to a point where you really get minor upgrades over previously models.

Recently came from HTC Evo and I don't feel the need to flash a rom yet.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] dmjlabelle:
I love it. I had the HOX for just under a month and had to many issues with Wi-Fi. The gs3 is working perfectly along with twice the battery life as well.

My phone before the onex was the gs2 and I had no issues with that either. I'm staying with Samsung from now on. Oh ya I'm an ex-Apple iPhone user also from the 4s and back. I would also say, I'm extremely picky and a tad OCD. The gs3 is hands down the best experience in a phone I've ever had.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] onebelo:
thats what i told myself but ... I came from the Evo has well. I flash rom the 2nd day i got it, blazer rom is excellent :D. I thought i would dislike touchwiz greatly from checking it out from previous samsung phones that relatives have but its not too bad actually. I kinda like it.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] sgs2_1.6:
After using this phone for 3 days nothing much but disappointment. Every spec is compareable to sgs2 beside hd and 2 gb of ram. Decided to go back to my Samsung galaxy note can't wait for the note 2.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Paging Dr B:
Care to elaborate? Is there something in particular that was disappointing to you?
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] wscaddie56:
my vz version was delivered today and i'm at work so i don't have the phone in hand but the galaxy 1 and the droid charge both had an option to link contacts which it sounds like is what you are looking for. On my sammy phone you go into the contact, hit menu then choose 'link contacts'.

i sure hope that is still available.

Coming from iphone 2g-iphone4.

So far i rate it 7/10 vs iphone iOS.

The complains;

1. Scrolling in facebook, xda-dev forum app, autoguide is lag and not smooth scrolling. Iphone wins here.

2. Ear phone on the iphone is better

3. Pandora on iphone play instantly when on the GS 3 have to wait for 5-10sec to cached first :thumbdown:

4. Touch screen on the gs3 is too sensitive iphone touch screen is 10/10 best touch screen for me.

5. Light sensor for screen brightness a bit lagging vs my iPhone 3gs work cell.

6. I don't see the camera any better than my iPhone 4. In low light if i do video call with skype at night in my bed room with medium lighting without turn on the bright light. Iphone has better low light vision vs gs3.

7. Haven't seen any thread on the big xda forum showing how to get free cracked app/games like i can on jailbreaked iPhone a bunch of app/games i can downloads directly on the phone through installous. I think with android gotta download from computer to sd then boot into cwm to install? Not sure, im still a week new to android. But been reading alot of stuff here for weeks.

That's it for now after 1week with it.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Paging Dr B:
Welcome to android land. Stick with it and you'll find that you won't want to go back to apple. Most of your scrolling/screen lag issues will be fixed with the next OS version (4.1). We here at XDA don't condone the use of pirated apps as you're just stealing from the developer community. Other forums on the interwebs may be able to help you find what you're looking for.

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] woodydog:
I love the phone. Only thing I miss about my one x is the screen and clean rom. Can't wait till we get a stable rom like cr. I know its going to happen and when it does I think its going to blow up. What do I miss about my 4s not much air play in every app and it worked better with my car stereo.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psycalist:
Hi guys,

I got the ICS update from Samsung a month back in India. I am not too happy with it. It is not as smooth and it takes up a lout of ram. Of late I have been getting very little battery backup. It gives me only 3/4 of a day with light use. What could be the reason? Are there apps that I need to delete or remove our make some changes? Please help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihaixp:
So I guess you are using a stock ROM. Can you tell me which version?

One of the problems (or not) is that when you update via Kies all the user data/apps remain the same. That's why I would prefer doing a wipe before upgrading so that my device will not be clogged with lots of processes.

How much screen time do you get? If you can, post a screenshot of the battery consumption.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tariq2kn:
What's your modem/baseband?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psycalist:
Yes you are right. I am on stock rom. Haven't had the guys to root and instal custom rom on such an expensive phone. As you say I didn't do a wipe out before I upgraded on Kies. I am on 4.0.3 and base band I9100DDLPA.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolsixty:
I am having the same concern now, not like the stockics very much, it is slower( scroll list in system settings..), hot after a while. Maybe we can consider to choose cm9 or other custom roms.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] knights.JayTana:
First of all, id like to thank Gokhanmoral and Simone for the support... Special mention to TotallydubbedHD and Studiominal for the great contribution and to all who tested and helped...

The idea was first toasted by Gokhanmoral via PM, that it has something to do with idle status and not with hot-plug issue. Then Simone201 also posted about this on "official sound quality thread" which leads me to test dif configurations and combos... Then i came up with this little Fix:

1. You have to be rooted of course...

2. Flash Siyah Kernel (Sorry for this, since i only tested it with Siyah 1.3.3b and 1.3.7b)

3. Download & Install exTweak by Darek.Xan from the Playstore (Free one will do)

4. Grant Superuser

5. Navigate through the CPU Tab and set the CPU idle mode to; IDLE ONLY

6. Reboot

It was first tested with Siyah kernel 1.3.3b and was confirmed by Studiominal thru his "sinewave" that there were no crackling found in the graph. It has also been confirmed that it also work with 1.3.7b... I cant comment on other kernel since the test was thoroughly done with Siyah...

Hope this help... ENJOY!!!

For more info and progress about this finding, please read thru the thread

[Galaxy S III Android Development] studiominal:
Evidence provided :)

It seems like something in IDLE + LPA, AFTR + LPA, AFTR only causes the audio codec to suffer from power shortage that leads to turning the codec on and off really fast.

And.. to clarify, I only changed the cpu idle mode to IDLE ONLY, and disabled all the audio options that come pre-enabled both to see whether the idle mode is the culprit and wait for the new Voodoo Sound.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] knights.JayTana:
Thanks for the graph Pal...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] henrybravo:
Thanks guys for sticking with this and finding the problem.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] studiominal:
Now that the culprit has become more obvious(likely the DAC being not able to perform properly with that low current set by stock setting), we'll see more developers here digging down the kernel with power profiles :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] FadeFx:
Changed the setting to see what the impact on battery life is, i am not sure what lpe and aftr does, so not sure what effect we will see. Probably someone with more insight could clear this up...

[Galaxy S III Android Development] alias_neo:
Iv never come across this problem but I use player pro and have never tried using the stock player, also, I use it with the lock screen player on which keeps a partial wake lock, perhaps this is what stops me having the problem.

I know the phone is awake because my nfc works when screen is off and player is playing.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] JF-GINO:
Does this only effect Siyah Kernel?

Cause if its across the board on all current kernel sources what would be the solution to any any other kernel besides Siyah and using exTweak? A Script?

Also, I get choppy audio on almost all games and the same clicks on other audio related apps, could this be the same issue? This behavior almost sounds like latency problems of a low default audio pre-buffer...

Well I haven't seen any Font post unless I missed it. Well back when I had my Cappy I started collecting many different font packages. Below I will explain how to install any of them depending if it is for a Samsung based rom or CM/AOKP roms. At least how I used them on CM7 but not sure if it works the same and can use the app FontChanger from the market.

DOWNLOAD LINK FOR ALL FONTS IN ONE CWM FLASHABLE ZIP FOR SAMSUNG "JELLYBEAN" ROMS http://d-h.st/Elb

DOWNLOAD LINK FOR ALL FONTS IN ONE CWM FLASHANLE ZIP FOR ICS SAMSUNG BASED ROMS(THANKS TO SIMBA)

http://d-h.st/ojm

DOWNLOAD LINK FOR INDIVIDUAL FONT PACKAGES. THESE ARE NOT CWM FLASHABLE, SEE DIRECTIONS BELOW: http://db.tt/p4ZKmI21

How to for Samsung based roms. Just download the apk you like from the links above, once downloaded just click on the apk file and hit install. You will need to have your phone set up to allow Unknown Sources. Then once installed you can go to System Settings/ Display/ Font Style. Choose which font you want to use. Done.

DOWNLOAD FOR CM/AOSP ROMS:http://db.tt/SmfXfDRa

For CM/AOSP download whichever font style/s you want and use root explorer or equiv. to move it into system/fonts. Or you can try fontchanger from the market. I know it works with CM7 but I never tried with CM9/AOSP ICS builds.

EDIT: SOME OF THE FONTS ARE EITHER REALLY CLOSE TO THE DEFAULT FONT OR ARE THE SAME. SO TRY IT OUT AND IF IT DOESNT SEEM TO CHANGE THEM THOSE ARE EITHER NOT SUPPORTED STYLE OR ARE BASIC VERSIONS OF STOCK FONTS.So look through the Link for pics below which should have the names attached and you can visually see if they are the same as stock fonts before downooading. Each font is a VERY SMALL apk file/ .ttf file.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I havent tried ot on aokp yet but I used them on cm7. If it works the same just go to the link in the OP and grab the .ttf files only from the CM/AOSP link. Then use root explorer to move them into the correct folder for fonts and make sure to

set the correct permissions.

These are NOT to be installed via CWM recovery. Download the ones for Samsung Based Roms. Go to where it downloaded to. Click on the .apk file (for example I just downloaded the OldEnglish.apk). Follow the installation instructions that pop up. See Pics below. You can also just move the file to preloaded/symlink/system/app and set the correct permissions. Reboot Phone. Now open up Settings, Display, Font Style, Choose the font you want.

You can delete it from where it was downloaded to. It self installs the .apk into the preload/symlink/system/app folder.

I found that the .apk font files that are in the Play store and shared on here are stored in the phone's storage folder under data/app on my Nexus 10... from there I found the flipfont apk and just extracted it and got the .ttf files out of it. I use ParanoidAndroid custom rom so there is no Fonts setting under display like there is on my Note 2. :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
There are fonts in the OP for use on ASOP type builds like CM10, AOKP, ETC. I think ParaAndroid would be the same. You can grab any of the fonts and put them in the same place you see your fonts.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
Okay so basically I want to do on my Nexus 7 what I do on my Windows PC. Have Jelly Bean display in English but the on-screen keyboard to have a standard German Qwertz Layout.

On a Windows PC this is easy language & keyboard settings are separate. But having a scout around the Android forums on here & the Nexus 7 forums. This is apparently problematic.

Lily

PS. I have never used an android device before & I did use search so please forgive my ignorance.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
Check out the Android app store. A search for "Keyboard German" got 348 hits.

For example, Slideit offers 45 free language and layout packs. That just happens to be the first one I pulled up.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
Thanks for responding. :) But I simply want to do this in Jelly Bean without an external app. I'm not going looking for apps unless I know that Jelly Bean isn't capable of displaying in one language & using a different keyboard. Are you saying that android can't cope with such a basic requirement natively? And that I have no choice but to use an independent app & shell out money for a basic OS requirement.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
Why would you pay for an App when there are so many free ones?

Go Keyboard, for example, is free with over 90,000 downloads.

If you don't want to use Apps with a Nexus - I am not sure why you want a Nexus.

Apps make Android what it is.

Maybe someone with a pre-production Nexus 7 can tell you what the keyboard supports out of the box. I will say the language on the keyboard has nothing to do with the language the device displays in.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
The one you recommended costs nearly 3 quid.

I never said I won't use apps. My question was not about apps. My question was does Jelly Bean support this. I just assumed that a feature this basic must be stock. So I thought I would post the question & hope someone that actually knows the answer would happen along. Or for that matter someone familiar enough with other Android incarnations who could make a best guess. Basic logic dictates that I see what it can do natively before filling it up with unnecessary apps.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
Not a recommendation of mine - I said that was just the first one that search pulled up.

Older versions of Android support 13 languages on the multi-touch keyboard, including German.

My post was intended to point out, if by chance, Nexus 7 does not have what you need, there is an app for it...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog:
So does somebody else know or have any actual insight as to whether android can handle this natively? I'd be really grateful for some info from peeps who actually know their way around android. Because I definitely don't. :o
