[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
My first major Android phone was the Evo 4G. This was when I got into android apps and all. I did root my phone but all I did with root was WiFi tether - I knew nothing about the ROM/Dev community behind that phone.

I really only started getting into development in my early Evo 3D days. Since then, I've been heavy into development. Development there was really slow, though. Once development basically came to a halt (all the good devs left, now it's just people who can port but not fix anything), I switched to the SGS3.

Let me say that this phone has the best devs ever. What was done with CM10 in a month would've taken AT LEAST 8 months on the Evo 3D. I am seriously amazed at how fast development is going here.

I am more than happy that I switched from the Evo line over to the Galaxy line.

Hey all! I just made the switch over to Team Samsung from my Evo (named Ophelia). It was a great phone and I hate to retire it, but I've moved on to bigger things. I think this community is going to blow up more than it already has too!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] coogrrr94:
Also had the Evo for two years, it was a great phone with great roms and great support. Got my S3 on July 1st, really enjoying it do far. I'm rooted on stock rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hardwire666:
I bought my Evo 4G the day of release. I had it for two years untill it finnally met it's demise. I was holding out for a Tegra3 phone from sprint, but I had no choice but to use my upgrade. I needed a phone and figured the GS3 would be just fine. Because I was not giving the Apple Nazis my money.

GS3 is awesome, ADW Launcher EX helped the stock rom feel much better. Reflashing to AOKP Jellybean I like even more. It' may not be perfect, but it does me fine as a daily. Only thing I miss from the Evo is the kick stand, but it's not a deal breaker by any means.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] w84mike:
Just upgraded to the SGS3 a week ago after two years with the EVO 4G. Loved my EVO, but now loving this phone even more. Rooted this one the first day and I'm having a blast setting it up to get it juuuuuuuuuuuust right. Really looking forward to seeing what amazing things the devs around here come up with to dazzle us!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phistyle:
I'm happy with the S3...came from the Evo4g and not really worried about the flash counter or whatever. The Evo4g needed the root and roms to make the phone even usable...the battery life was terrible on stock and most of the time rooting and install custom roms removes the bloatware and add some tweaks to make the phone run faster which the evo4g needed. The s3 I find doesn't need that many tweaks and is fast as it is. I only flashed blazer's rom, but I'm pretty content with it and don't really have the need to flash multiple roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iomega311:
It was a great phone in 2010, but was definitely showing its age by the time my 2 years were up. I couldn't take the battery life and lagginess anymore! So happy to be running with my GS3 now! Has a great community too!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alaman68:
hey!!! I remember you Shinesthru. It's been about a week since i last saw you on the EVO forums.

Well, I made the switch from the EVO, but i kept it around for causing trouble in the Deck's Reloaded general thread. So far I'm thrilled with the SGS3 and touchwiz is really growing on me, especially the video player when the thumbnails play. That blows people's minds when they see that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] salomonld:
I really love my s3 s3>evo
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
Good to see you here! The bad news is that if the OG Evo forums drove you nuts with silly questions, people not reading before posting, and off topic banter, the SGS3 forums are going to make your head explode. Hopefully it will cool down after a while, but until then... sheesh!

I still have my OG Evo, too. It has taken its place as a media device, and I hope to have it for a long time. What's kinda fun is since I don't havce to worry about its functionality to be my daily driver, I find myself flashing more ROMS to play with.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Zaphon:
I came from an Evo 4G to the GS3 and couldn't be happier. I was running CM9 on my Evo, and I had the extended battery, so the only thing I really miss is getting 2-3 days worth of battery life. Otherwise, in comparison, I don't know how I ever lived with my Evo, it seems so slow now in comparison.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Keiserrott:
I used to run out and get the latest and greatest phone as soon as they came out until I met my beloved OG that came from the Google I/O convention.

It took till now to replace her, lol.

The SGS3 has the technology for sure, but it just doesn't have the "feel" of the OG. Perhaps adding an extra cap battery and case will give the SGS3 a more substantial presence in my hand.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Im on the OG still since I can't upgrade until next month.

Really looking forward to this phone when I can get it. Just debating on 16 or 32 gig right now.

Also trying to find the best/optimal option to mirror my phone to my TV since I do a lot of gaming.

EVO 4G -> 3D -> Galaxy S2 -> S3 (changes within 14 months)

Ever since seeing the display quality of a niece's Galaxy S, I've vowed that my next phone(s) have to have AMOLED display. Now even my tablet (Galaxy Tab 7.7) also has AMOLED. :D

I had a 4g...got the 4GLTE on release day...it fell in water and it turns out they don't swim very well.

Squaretrade gave me money, I stole an upgrade from someone else on my account....won't ever look back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Riptide9:
Loved my EVO 4G then went to the Epic4G Touch and fell in love with Samsung. Now I have the S3 and couldn't be happier :laugh:. The only thing I really miss is how the HTC handled contacts and contact pics.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] molitar:
I upgraded from EVO 3D.. Though I hope there is improvements in the mobile data 3G sees quite slow and dropped connections compared to the EVO 3D.

I'm regretting but at least I can return the phone..

Damn MTP bull**** I can't syncrhonize folders anymore to backup sd card! What bull****.. not only that so far wireless and mobile has been slower than my EVO 3D. I can't believe people can say this phone is better it has all sorts of issues that make it worse.

No USB Mass Storage

Data speeds seem horrible compared to EVO's

SG3 UMS I can't get to work either

I use Link2SD and every damn time I boot this phone up it goes through optimizing my 255 applications! What the heck? The more I use this phone the worse it seems not better!

Thanks very much for that informative write up, I couldn't agree more
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kuratsu:
So glad I made the choice to go sgs3.

I too am on the FreeGS3 Rom, and I'm loving it. Especially being able to upgrade without connecting to a pc and having a huge level of customization.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] trigger1121:
I've been with the OG Evo since its release, and finally broke down and upgraded to the Galaxy SIII this past weekend. I was running the Strike ROM on the Evo with amazing battery life. Hopefully I can find something similar here.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] al4d:
I've been a big HTC fan from way back. TouchPro2, EVO 4G, EVO 4G LTE. The S3 is the best phone I've ever owned, but I do miss sense widgets. I guess I'll check out the Android pro widgets mentioned a few posts above. I'm also very happy to hear that Myn is going to be developing Warm for this device. I never used anything other than Myn's ROM on my old EVO 4G.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] al4d:
Thanks to the good folks on the XDA forum, I have managed to completely recreate the "Sense" look of my EVO on my new Galaxy S III!

Here's how I did it:

Full page weather widget: Fancy Widgets

Bookmarks: Android Pro Widgets

Favorites (contacts): Android Pro Widgets

Agenda: Android Pro Widgets

I never did much like the Sense flip clock, and I am very happy with the Retro Clock widget on my main page.

I loved my original EVO 4G more than any phone I have ever owned, but the EVO LTE was nothing bu trouble for me. It was pretty, and it was fast, but I have connection troubles, GPS troubles, and finally, when I got those resolved, I had a problem with my world clock that couldn't be resolved by any level of tech support. The local clock was consistently 4 hours off.

Initially, I didn't like the physical appearance of the S3 as much as the LTE, but since I keep my phone in an Otter Box all the time, who cares? The S3 has been trouble free, easy to root and to customize, fast, responsive, and just about perfect in every way once I set the appearance of the launcher to my taste.

Time to change my signature...

Evo to GS3

OMG I LOVE my new S3, and Love it even more that I got it BRAND NEW for $100 at Best Buy mobile on my full upgrade. I'm Rooted and Booted for the 1st time! Trying to find paranoid Android that's Specific to the Sprints GS3. Miui is great too btw.:victory:

I am so late to the party. I had an EVO 4g until November last year. Been messing around with my new SGS3 .. soft bricked it twice and recovered it from sure death. :good: not running any custom ROMs yet, but may in the future as soon as some are stable.

I came from the OG Evo, and I loved that phone, I used MIUI, MYNs, and in the end MIKs roms, I miss MIKs roms no other was more stable on my EVO. the SGS3 is a great phone and does everything the evo does, just better, IMHO. I have flashed a few roms so far, but I have been on the SYNERGY port v3 and I love it. Just using the multi-window feature makes it worth it!!! Although, there are some bugs, but I am sure Sac and the team will work it out. If everything is stable like I think v4 will be I would suggest this rom to anyone looking for good one.

Goodbye EVO 4G OG, Hello GS3

Owned my EVO 4G up till Dec. I had used a couple of ROM's like KushDecks, Synergy, Myn's, and finally TommyTomatoes Classic. Picked up my G3 for $50 and wooo! Rooted, but kept it stock till now. Starting with The People's ROM: looks and runs great so far!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wuestsider:
I actually just came from the EVO LTE, and I have to say, I love this phone. Samsung has really stepped up their game. This phone is definitely better than the EVO LTE (In my opinion). However, I do miss the solid metal feel of the EVO LTE. I actually got the EVO LTE when it first came out and within that time I went through two of them due to defective radio antenna on both of them.

Due to the antenna problem I was unable to call 911 during an emergency (my autistic son went missing). After we found him, I went to sprint very pissed of the phones issue. Surprisingly Sprint stepped up and replaced my EVO LTE with an S3.... Awesome phone.

Yep Me toO!

Been HTC proud since Touch Pro, Touch Pro 2, Evo 3D, Evo 4g lte...

had the 4glte just under a month. lte radio sucked on it and i gave in to the SGIII.

Solid so far!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I had the evo lte for about 5 months, switched to the gs3 and love it. The one thing I miss is the evo's camera, in my opinion it is better than the gs3's, but the gs3 camera is still pretty good. My next upgrade is in a year so it will be interesting to see where htc and samsung go.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SUCCESSOR:
Ive read about EVOs getting stuck in car mode and that it is something to do with the USB port. Usually from getting wet but my phone has never been wet.

I wanna know if there is a way to fix it. I bought the phone with no insurrance so I am fully prepared to crack open the phone if I have to.

I may have got this Evo for "free" but its only been a year. I don't want to buy a new phone just yet.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acunn1:
Just pry off the back, no cracking involved. Pull the battery, this should reboot the phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Relentless D:
There is a setting in car mode to automatically launch when docked. Disable it. I had this problem a while back and a lot of other people said it was bc of the usb port thinking something was plugged in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizholt7:
I work in a Sprint repair center, and we see this every now and again. Though liquid can cause this, usually that isn't the case. If you've already made sure it is disabled at startup like the above stated, it is probably a connection problem from your USB port and the board of the phone. The same issue can also cause the phone to automatically go to speakerphone when making calls. What happens is there is a bridged connection between two of the charging port pins on the board, usually the 4th and 5th pin (there are 5 pins on the evo).

The fix: if there is a repair center near you that can do resoldering work proficiently, take it there and have them fix it. Corporate stores don't have the priviledge of working with soldering equipment as of yet, so they won't be able to fix it, so it would have to be a retail service center. Otherwise, if there isn't a place that can fix it, any Sprint authorized repair center should be able to order a replacement for you as long as there isn't any evidence of liquid or physical damage on the outside or inside of the phone. If you have insurance, should be free (if no liquid/physical damage), if not then it will be $35. If they give you any problems, PM me.

By that I mean when I restore to a stock ROM all my past apps are auto-downloaded to my phone and setup for me, but when I flashed a JB ROM from on here the same doesn't happen and I have to install a ****ton of applications manually and all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
All it does is re-download them from the Play Store when you enter your Google credentials and check the right boxes during initial setup.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EphemeralMirage:
Odd, because I did login during the initial setup and it didn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkBanHammer:
When you switch ROMs your Google play id It gets regenerated aka Google sees it as a new device. titanium backup can back it up and restore. Heck you might as well use it to backup and restore your apps and app data while your at it.

Ah, damn makes sense.

[Nokia Lumia 800] inket:
I tried forcing the Tango update on my Lumia 800 and it took me an hour of disconnecting to get the useless 8112. Tried again for another hour for the next update and still nothing.

Is this how updates are supposed to be done ? Or should I just wait 3 months for the phone to realize there's an update ? (legit questions)

Notice it became available a week ago (not on the promised 27th June; also, some people are still waiting) and magically the phone and Zune are both still unaware of it.

This is some really dumb stuff, Microsoft.
[Nokia Lumia 800] ekw:
June 27 (or whatever date they announced) is when they begin roll out, not when it will be instantly available for your region.

There could be many reasons why they chose the dates they have for rolling out the update.

Some of the few:

1) Limit problems, if they release it to everyone and find out after many testing that it manages to brick phones, everyone will come in and complain. For assurance and risk reduction, its safer to release it in small markets to large markets.

2) Waiting for carriers, some carriers won't allow an update through until they do their own testing that the phone works on their networks (since they will be the one contacted by angry customers if something were to go wrong)

The disconnect trick is for those who want the update asap. If you can't wait a few weeks then by all means continue wasting time to get an update you consider useless. You could have even forced the install through the cab method. And it shouldn't have taken you an hour to do it; an easy misstep would be to forget to put the phone in airplane mode with wifi off.

You may think their process is dumb, but not many people know (including me) in full detail what Microsoft has to go through to get an update out. There could be regulation (FCC), legal ramifications and all sorts of headache that made Microsoft do what they do.
[Nokia Lumia 800] mdsharpe:
You're complaining because a trick isn't working for you. The trick is not the intended method of updating.

Updates are rolled out in stages. The normal process is to wait for your phone to be updated as and when the companies choose.
[Nokia Lumia 800] inket:
@ekw: I had Wi-Fi and Data connection disabled and kept trying with no luck.

I cabbed 8773 today and it finally installed. Weirdly, the phone detected the Nokia update moments after the restart. Why can't OS updates be like that ?

That's what I meant by this thread. Microsoft seems to be either really dumb or just doing it on purpose.

Apple always releases updates on time, and they have no problems with server limits (even though there's 300m active iOS users) or carriers.

Seems to me like an easy problem with a difficult solution. The fact that we all could update using cab sender proves that there's an easy solution, yet, sadly, unofficial.
[Nokia Lumia 800] uryu_ishida:
Blame the carriers. Only Apple has the market clout to force carriers to do things their way.

This might be a silly question, but I was currently trying to backup some saves for games I bought, and was unable to find my Final Fantasy 3

saves on my sdcard.

I found out that the saves are actually in internal storage in some location like /data/data/com.square_enix.android_googleplay.FFIII_GP

My phone isn't currently rooted, and the file explorers I found required root.

Is there a way I can backup the saves to my PC without having a rooted phone?

I wanted to backup all my stuff before attempting to root my phone, but will the root process erase my phone's internal storage, or is that only

when flashing ROMs?
