[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stopeject:
I bought SGSIII earlier today, and I already miss features of HTC Sense. Touchwiz dialer sucks. Is there anything I can download from Play with Snese look and feel?

Also Touchwiz doesn't have a space saving 4x1 clock/weather widget. I install one from Beatiful Widgets, but it is not as good as the HTC one.

I want to ask the other HTC refugees, what are your coping strategies?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] EndlessDissent:
I'm coming from the OG Evo, but I never liked Sense much to begin with. I used MIUI on my Evo and plan to do the same once a MIUI build is released for this phone. Right now, I'm not having too many problems coping, but I don't plan on keeping TW any longer than necessary. My biggest issue right now for every day use is the lack of a convenient brightness slider, but that should be fixed whenever the next OTA happens.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] id10terrordfw:
For a 4x1 widget, try HD Widgets.

I never liked HTC Sense, I can never get used to it. I used either MIUI or CM rom. Also came from og htc evo as well. Touchwiz is a much better experience than HTC Sense imo... but I rather use AOSP.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stopeject:
HTC dialer was so good I didn't even program speed dials. Just typing 2-3 numbers or letters of a name would instantly bring the right contact. And they had Facebook picture integration (at least in GB ROMs). I also miss the short haptic buzz when a call was connected.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] aznmode:
I use go launcher ex with all the go widgets all with sense theme. As far as dialer I use go contacts with dark theme. Not exactly sense look but I find it more useful as you can swipe to go from dialer to contacts and to favorites.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jaytxvo:
I have been using go launcher as well for one sole reason; the contacts widget. I like having a widget for direct calls. I hate how when you go to contacts or logs, to press on a name and it takes you to another menu which you have to choose either call or text. Sure you can slide to direct call but I just want to press and it calls immediately. Something so simple that I wish was an option in settings.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stopeject:
Guys, thanks for advise, Go launcher is way better than the stock one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] NeoAndroid:
I too was was a Die-hard HTC Sense fan. However, TW 5 have improved so much I do not miss my HTC Amaze 4G. Whenever a contact is on your screen like SMS, Call log,etc, just put the phone to your ear and it will automatically dial the number for that contact.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] MДЯCЦSДИT:
But at least the stock laucher doesn't send your personal data to China
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Dr. Fed:
Anything new takes a little time to get used to. I think, if.you stick with it, you'll find TW to give you a more simplified, "closer to stock ICS" experience. Sure, its not stock ICS and Samsung likes to add a lot of color, but IMHO Sense uses too many useless transitions and extra tabs and extra steps...run on sentence but you get the point. There are plenty of widget alternatives, I personally like Fancy Widgets. For alternative launchers, Nova is nice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] El Nivek:
I found a Sense 4 clock widget lookalike, no flip animation though.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Smac7:
Have you tried go contacts? That comes with a dialer that works just like the sense one. Btw, touxhwiz dialer should show your fb contact pics. Not sure why yours isn't. You need to sync with the app, not the built in fb sync.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] No1ustad:
I'm sure someone has already tried it, but what about titanium backups of HTC Sense apps, would those install on this phone? Dialer, etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] TKG26:
I too miss Sense... I miss it already even though i forced my self to a vanila rom on my desire for a month before i got my gs3 :)

Got 3 years to get over it! LOL
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] slaakker:
I am also a convert to TW. I initially missed the Sense but after I learned the shortcuts built into TW dialer, I prefer it. Make sure you read the tips that pop up and not just close them without reading. The swipe to call or text is a pretty cool feature I think.

Sense gives me headache. Too old its colors are stressful. Touchwiz has vivid colors and not jist black and white
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DroidGnome:
Hahah I thought I was the only one who preferred Sense.

I use GoLauncher for all my Launching needs on both this S3 and my original Evo.

But Sense's Contact app just blows this and every 3rd party away. I loved the auto-merge features, the integrated facebook/twitter/picassa/messaging by contact.. and it just looked nice.

The closest I've found for the contacts is an app called "ConTapps" which does the same integration with Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn, etc.. (In fact I think it does a better job than sense)... however it does not have a nice way to navigate via groups, all your contacts are one big list, and duplicates must be manually 'merged' (Dups due to facebook,twitter,etc.. my google contacts are VERY clean online in the cloud).

As for a Dialer... Right now I'm using "aTakePhone". I've used it since my old Palm Centro, then my Evo, and now my S3.. It doesn't appear that there's been much updates to handle the S3's screen resolution (small gaps on the edges of the dialer) but feature wise it has everything you'd want in a dialer, including a nice scrolling 'quick bar' on the dialpad menu. You can even customize the searching parameters so it won't search till you've placed X # of letters, searching within company names, etc...

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bandito40:
Hi,

I was wondering if anyone is using a heart rate monitor app for their Samsung Gio. I have been looking at purchasing the Polar or Zephyr blue tooth heart rate monitor chest straps models. Both require blue tooth version 4. So my other question is does the Samsung Gio support blue tooth version 4 and does the latest release of CyanogenMod have the supported drivers already installed.

Thanks,

bandito40
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bandito40:
Ok. So I did some research and found out that the blue tooth for a samsung gio is 2.1 so there is not blue tooth heart rate monitor that works with it as far as I know. I will keep looking at other apps and see what I find out.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bandito40:
Google Play says "This app is incompatible with your Fido Samsung GT-S5660." Even if it did since I installed the lastest release of CyanogenMod the camera with these release is not working. Also I am looking for a heart monitor that continuously monitors my heart when I exercise and not one the I can check from time to time.

Thanks for the reply however.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] H-508:
I know there will be a number of people in the exact same boat as me, and since I'm a moron, I could use the guidance before making a fatal error...

I pre-ordered the S3 prior to June 28th on Verizon to use my available upgrade and lock-in my unlimited plan for another 2 years. However, I do not want this phone and want to get the Inc4G instead.

I know I'll have to sell the S3 and buy the Inc4g off-contract. What I don't know is if I have to activate the S3 on my line prior to selling it. I see all these ebay listings saying the S3 is new and never activated, but when I asked vzw support over email they sort of insinuated that I had to activate the S3 first before selling it as part of the agreement process. Does that sound right?

If so, I guess I activate the S3 when I get it then box it all back up and send it to the eventual CL/eBay buyer - do I have to do anything to wipe the phone at that point for the person that buys it from me?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] maqsur:
If I understood you correctly, you already upgraded your line, and so you can activate the s3, and then do whatever you want with it, as long as you keep the line active and pay your monthly bill. I've gotten phones as upgrades, then sold them soon after, the esn remains clean as long as the person who originally bought the phone as upgrade/new line keeps maintaining the line, or they pay the full etf.

In terms of preparing for sale, factory reset the phone before you sell it, that way your personal info is erased. Also, don't forget to wipe the SD card (if it came with one).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jvward:
You don't have to ebay it. If you go to an actual VZW store and have them do an exchange which comes nicely along with a 35 dollar restocking fee, and not a return/replacement which they will want to do because it gets the sales rep a commission but screws you, you can swap it out in the store and keep unlimited data. The only thing you have to do is before you bring it in to swap it out it must be activated at least once, then you can wipe it or what ever.

Just make sure you talk to a sales rep that isn't a dope.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] dbrits:
This! Definitely try an exchange at a Verizon Corporate store before you go through the trouble of selling your GS3 on eBay. There have been numerous people in this forum who've successfully exchanged phones without having their data plan changed, but a few folks haven't been as lucky. It's definitely worth a shot though. :)
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] H-508:
...it's that part that worries me and after it's all said and done, they're like 'whoops, you lost unlimited. sorry bro, you only need 2gb anyway so what's the big deal - it's totally better this way' :p

I'll definitely go the exchange route first, though, before dealing with eBay - although it looks like I'd come out ahead $-wise with eBay.

Thanks for the help.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
Thanks, I also plan to do this when I get my phone. I pre-ordered to retain my unlimited data.

Since the Inc4g is $149 and the GS3 is $199, do you get $50 back (then the restocking fee)?

I may still do the ebay route depending how much money I can get for it and how much cheaper I can buy an inc4g for. I also noticed the ads all say "unopened" "clean esn" "ready to activate"

If you are required to activate your phone prior to switching, then how do these ebay people do it?

Once I get the Inc4g, do I just activate using the setup on the phone or do I need to call in? If I activate the SG3, then buy an inc4g and activate that, then does that mean the SG3 now has a "clean esn"
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Johnnybee:
Correct me If Im wrong , but I was under the impression if you go and EXCHANGE your SG3III box UNOPENED they will NOT charge a restocking fee.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
I heard that if you do that (or any exchange), you lose your unlimited. But I've heard different stories.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Div033:
When I called my local verizon store and asked if I could retain my unlimited data when exchanging the phone they said no. I guess I could try calling a different location or something...

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Tarpit_Carnivore:
You should be fine with not losing unlimited. The only way you can lose it is if you upgrade your phone with a new contract. I would assume if you upgraded the line already the contract should be in place. You can log into your account and see when the upgrade dat eis.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] hieu2ueih:
I called my local verizon store today and they told me they would accept the s3 and I would still be able to keep my unlimited data. I will do it once I get off work since my phone arrives today. I will post back tonight!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
So if I get an Inc4g (and sell the SG3) and keep my unlimited, do I just activate the Inc4g? or do I need to first activate the SG3, then activate the Inc4g?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jvward:
Hey,

The key is you need to open the box and activate the GS3 which nails you with the 35 dollar restocking fee for swapping it out for the exchange but it also locks in your contract with unlimited data.

Jeff
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
When you "exchange" do you get the $50 rebate?

I may plan to sell it on ebay then buy an Inc on ebay. I figure if I can sell for $600 or higher and get an Inc4g for $350 or lower, I will break even with verizon's $200 + tax + $35 fee assuming I can't take advantage of the $50 rebate.

In that case, do I still need to open it and activate it?

And if I don't activate, and just activate the Inc4g, then what happens?

Is there anything special to be done with the sim card?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] hieu2ueih:
I have successfully exchanged in my S3 for the Incredible 4g. I walked in with my un-opened/un-activated S3 and asked for a straight up exchange. I still have my unlimited data intact and received the $50 dollar mail in rebate. HOWEVER I did have to pay the $35 dollar restocking fee. Good luck.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] sully5981:
Thats what I like to hear. My S3 is arriving tomorrow and I want the Inc4g but had to lock in my unlimited. I will be doing tomorrow what you did today.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] macdroid01:
I will also be switching to Inc from S III because of the sh!t screen the S III has on it (dim, pentile, generally crap).

I do not expect to pay restocking. I will not be opening the S III box!!! That would be completely unacceptable. I also expect the $50 difference of the price. It's just plain fair.

Also S III has locked boot loader, Inc does not. I hope this means we get good ROMs and mods etc.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] hieu2ueih:
I was told that I had to pay the restocking fee. I will try and call csr tomorrow and try and get out of it. I was also told by a chat rep that I could get out of the activation fee as well. I will update you guys again tomorrow.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] macdroid01:
I am not usually one to be rude in public or anything, but that is unacceptable. I assume you have not opened the box. In my case they won't have a problem selling a Galaxy S III. They'll probably sell my phone that day. So I don't expect anything less than $50 back and a "Have a Nice Day".

I do wish I had an S III with an LCD display. But the AMOLED is just so incredibly terrible no pun intended. At least to my eyes, anyhow. YMMV.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
OH, if I can get the $50 rebate then I think its indeed worth it to exchange vs trying the ebay route with the selling fees, paypal fees, and shipping it would be tough to break even even with paying that $35 restocking.

I suspect with enough complaining and letters, I could get that waived if it was still sealed on box. Ofcourse its a "restocking" fee, not a "repacking" fee. Does it really cost them $35 to put the box back on the shelf?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
right! $35, man they just do whatever they want lol.

I actually ended up saving over $70 a month on a 4 line smartphone shared family plan, lost my unlimited, but i never go above 4 GB a month anyway.

and with 8 GB shared, I basically get 7GB of it lmao
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] *Madmoose*:
I did the math on the shared plans as well and it was a no-brainer for me. Ours is a business plan with 14 lines, 2 aircards and 2 tablets. Our usage really wasn't that high for the phones, where the aircards and tablets' usage was a tad higher. We were paying $30 each for unlimited data on the phones. With the shared plans I was able to cut $290 off our bill each month by combining the data on the phones into a 20 gig plan. We were using a little over 10gig a month, so i doubled the plan to 20gig, combined all the phones onto the one shared plan and saved a ton. Now it's just about monitoring the data usage and if we start to get close to the 20 gig limit, I'll create another shared plan and move some phones around to make the caps work. Very inexpensive for multi-phone plans. I know a lot of people complained about losing their unlimited data, and I was very hesitant as well, but honestly, it works out very well.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
Even with the $35 its still worth it. With ebay fees, paypal fees, and shipping you lose around 15% of your sale price. Then adding the $200 you already spent on it in the first place, it doesn't leave much left over to buy the inc4g. If only the $20 was the off-contract price.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] sully5981:
I did it guys. I am so happy. I order the S3 June 24 to lock in my unlimited internet. I got a call from the verizon store today saying my S3 arrived and when I went there i told them my situation on how I want to keep unlimited but I would like a smaller phone such as the inc4g. They said hmm.... they tried calling their service department and they said they cannot add my unlimited if they activate the inc4g. Then they called regular service rep to see if they can add the unlimited after the fact and they were told it wasn't possible. I told them, how about you sell me the S3 right now, I'll activate it (keep my unlimited) and then swap it out for a inc4g. They said that is possible but there is a $50 restocking fee (i thought it was $30 but they said its $50 for smartphones and I have two so that would of been an extra $100). I told them, that is fine, i was willing to pay a re-stocking fee. So they activated the S3 and then swapped it for the Inc4g. They also didn't charge me the restocking fee. Customer service at verizon sucks, but they authorized re-sellers were awesome. So i bought a bunch of accessories from them. I also double checked on my phone with my verizon which says i have unlimited internet.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] nitsuj17:
nice!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
WOW, talk about nickel and diming
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] sully5981:
It was more like half dollar and quartering. But I can't complain, it was $440 out the door for two inc4g, otterbox commuter, another case, and two screen protectors. (they decided not to charge me but it would of been $100+ more). Also I still get 2x $50 rebate.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] loonix:
Anyone else contemplating this? I received my 32G Pebble Blue SIII yesterday, but it is still sitting pretty in the FedEx box. I might be the only one that got this phone and didn't even bother opening the box yesterday. People are going nuts over this on the SIII thread.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cathya:
I received the GS III this morning and went to my local store to exchange this afternoon. I now have the Dinc 4G and still have unlimited data.

I was apparently the first person to so in this store as I had to explain that it supposedly works if the equipment switch is handled as an exchange. After a few of the reps thought about it, they agreed it should work. Their logic was that the sim card in both the SG III and Dinc 4G was the same size so they activated the one that came with the SG III but put it in the Dinc 4. Did the paperwork for the exchange - I paid $35 restocking fee but still get the $50 rebate on the Dinc 4G.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
So did you actually have to open the SG3 box even? or did you just put the sim card into the inc4g and activate it on the inc4g?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] cathya:
I opened the FedEx box. The actual box for the phone and the Verizon welcome/activation packet were both loose in that box. The SG III box is not sealed. It just has a slip on sleeve so I did open it and picked up the phone to look at it quickly. The sim card was in the Verizon welcome packet that was loose in the Fed Ex box.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
I see, i thought it was sealed or something so that might help the restocking fee argument. oh well.

my own sg3 was delivered yesterday, apparently my neighbor (who I rarely talk to) signed for it, now I have to find him. I wasn't aware fedex could just do that without my permission.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
I finally got my phone and will try this tomorrow.

Just to clarify, did you actually first activate the sim card on the SG3 or did they just stick it directly in the the Inc4g
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] miguel11691:
Wow that is crazy... I would be mad If that happened to me... I love my inc4g just wish there was a way to install app data to my external 32sd card..
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] eng3:
Well no luck for me I went to two stores, Told themI ordered it online but didn't like the size and wanted the inc and keep my unlimited. They both told me the same story. They cant exchange it in store (something about inactive pricing), and both said I should use the return label and send it back to Verizon and then they would be able to exchange it for me and SHOULD be able to grandfather me in. Somehow that doesnt sound right.

If I have to end up going the ebay route, I'm seriously considering just giving up the unlimited, returning it (assuming I will get my upgrade back), then going through lets talk and getting one for $20 or $50 or whatever it is now. I have only used 1GB max per month in the past, not sure what it will be in the future but it prob isnt worth $150-$200

just got off the phone with verizon, they said they could switch me and I could keep my unlimited because I accepted the terms before.

They are sending it to me now. and then I just have to send the SG3 back.

The only rub is I have to pay the $35 restocking fee for an unopened phone

Although my friend called with the same story and was told that she cannot keep unlimited because she would be activating the new phone after 6/28. I guess it depends on the person. The only difference between my friend and I is that I did not activate the SG3 at all.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] andybones:
what's funny is me and my dad both bought inc4gs, i had a contract upgrade, he traded in two iphone4 16GB's + some cash for his, so technically he was grandfathered into the unlimited plan he currently had due to paying at full price, I however used my upgrade, but the idiot at the store told us that we had to change plans, so we actually ended up saving over 80$ a month!

BUT here's the kicker.

I got home, went online, saw our plans were NOT changed.

so I called, and the lady said that she saw that the guy tried to change the plans but he had to call them to activate it, SO even though I used my upgrade I still have unlimited data.

now please don't hate.

I don't need or use unlimited data, so I had them change us over to the what we thought was our new plan to begin with 10GB shared through 4 lines (basically only i use data lol) so I get about 8GB a month give or take AND we saved over 79$ a month.

I know I know, some ppl would go nuts to have kept that unlimited plan (I think I was grandfathered in because I've been unlimited since they have offered unlimited.)

for us, to save 80$ a month! is def worth loosing an unlimited plan I never went anywhere near over 2 GB a month..
