[HTC One S] davwman:
the galaxy s3 is not miles ahead of the one s. I had it. Glad I got my money back. Its nice but it is way too big and feels like a kids toy.
[HTC One S] sun2xdadevelopers:
I found myself in same position 3 weeks ago, and I struggled for weeks researching my choices between one s and s3. All my friends got s3 so I had a good chance to try it.

Though what s3 does is impressive as far as speed and memory goes, it seriously lags in look & feel and coolness factor. It feels like lugging around a tablet than phone and it barely fits in pocket.

Compare that to one s, which I finally ended up getting which is incredibly fast, memory though less never been a hindrance. I had 10gigs available after all system programs which I believe is plentiful when added with the online storage options.

Sure s3 beats one s in all test scores but one s Screen is unbelievable, phone is sleek and stylish and you can still reach around with one hand and fits in your pocket. Camera will put your point and shoot cameras to rest and I cannot be more happy.

And battery life is great too. I got a about 12 hours on moderate use even with couple of camera flashes and I still have 20% left.

Ultimately think of the long term impacts of having a tablet for a phone for next 2 years just because it is fast and more memory, vs. having a sleek, handy pocket able phone which is still fast with decent amount of memory.

gs3 = hot and plastic

main reason i switched from gs2 to one s

i tried the gs3 its just gets hot when using the phone

[HTC One S] Terminator19:
Actually the GS 3 doesn't even beat the S in all of the benchmark tests (both the quad and S4 version), yes the res. does have an impact but then the XL has the same hardware but also 720P res. and it still beats the GS 3 in the majority of tests.

The GS 3 international version only beats both in the tests, which uses the GPU such as quadrant etc. as the GPU is far better than the adreno 225.

Only areas that the GS 3 is better is:

screen

1080P recording

storage/SD slot

removable battery

bigger developing community

Everything else is more or less same or better on the S (IMO):

- camera is more or less the same (some photos look better on the GS 3, others look better on the S), however, the UI is better than touchwiz alternative and has way more features, which are actually cool and make taking photos more enjoyable.

- Speed/smoothness is more or less the same, only reason the GS 3 appears to be smoother is due to the animations/timing that is used, could achieve the same if you flashed those animations and had the exact same timings, besides were getting JB soon hopefully so there will be virtually no difference then (on any of the phones)

- audio is more or less the same (some say the GS 3 is better, others say the S is better)

- out of the box battery life is better (to be expected considering the S has a smaller battery and is only qHD), not by a huge amount though, however, with the GS 3 you can carry spare batteries around with you

- sense V4 is far far better in looks/UI, unified feel, the stock apps are amazing such as the gallery, calendar etc. touchwiz has loads of gestures and some cool features (but the majority of these are being ported over to every other android phone, such as the smart stay feature (iseeyou, works great on my S), Svoice, smart status bar (can drag the notification bar down when in an app full screen) etc. only a matter of time till we get things that like smart alert etc. The same can't be said with sense app/features though. IMO touchwiz is too bloated and no real unified feel across the apps/menus etc. everything just looks disorganized and the colour scheme is too kiddish/cartoonish

- and lastly the build/perceived quality of the S is miles ahead of the GS 3 and IMO looks far better compared to the GS 3 (subjective the looks though)

Do you want a phone that fits in your trouser pocket?

Get the One S

Are you a basketball player with huge hands?

Get the One X or Galaxy S3

Want to watch lots of movies?

Get a tablet.

Phones are getting far too big these days. Unfortunately there are no top spec 4" phones, so I got the One S. It's still in the mail so I can't really review it further. Manufacturers really need to learn from apple here, make it pocket sized for f&# sake. Also half the market is female and even being an average size male I find the latest phones too large.

There are some things that suck on the One S though: No MicroSD :( , Stupid capacitive buttons, at least samsung always have one proper button, sense UI looks like tacky plastic ****.

If you do get one s make sure it's not the old snapdragon S3 SoC which has worse battery life.
[HTC One S] davwman:
I whole heartedly agree with the above. I'm 6'0 healthy 225 pounds guy that thought the beastly oversized gs3 would fit me. I was wrong. That thing is just way to big. I found one handed operations almost impossible. The display isn't that great either, not for the price. Plus I had a amoled smear that looked like a smiley face smack in the center of the screen. The one s that uses Samsung amoled displays shows no sign of such things.

We have 1080p recording.

Yeah I know :p

But the GS 3 is far better for light metering and smoothness and slightly better quality as well.

Has anyone purchased any of those external battery cases yet? I really want to buy one but im scared to commit to a purchase just yet seeing how a lot of batteries out there for this phone seem to be sketchy. So has anyone purchased one that they can recommend ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] blackguy101:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Weo:
Not an answer to your question, but I had been looking around a lot too. There was a 5000+ mAh external battery that listed on Amazon with good reviews... Although it wasn't a case. I ended up purchasing a Goal Zero Nomad 7 and the Guide 10 (combo deal) for my purposes.

Basically, I figured why spend so much on a so so case with so so battery when I could get an inexpensive external charger that worked better for 1/3 the price. Of course, I ended up going with a true solar panel kit since I would be away from an outlet now and then (hiking with GPS). I tested the Nomad 7 in bright, direct sunlight and it charges both my s3 and NT directly, although the directions suggest using the guide 10 as a bridge. I have not tested the guide 10's recharging ability with the S3, other than a quick 2 minute charge check showing that it would actually charge.

Hope someone chimes in with a suggestion more specific to your question. Additionally, I've seem some websites advertise a 4000+ mAh Mugen battery with extended case for the S3, but Mugen does not mention it on a their website... So be weary of false ads.

[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Android Cowboy:
I was previously on a rooted stock KF and using the New York app which is only for KF. I've now switched to Jelly Bean ROM and would love to get the New Yorker app to work. I got the apk and installed which was fine. But once you open it immediately crashes. Anyone know how to get it work. Can something in the apk be modified so it thinks it's an original KF. I really like this app and want to get it work on JB which is a great ROM. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Agent358:
Try using root explorer. To move the apk to system/app. Then reboot. If the app isnt installed by the reboot just install it by the apk. Then if it still crashes try moving the permissions around. I think i can mess around with it to work. What did you use to download it once u were on this rom?
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Android Cowboy:
Initially I had download the app using ES File Explorer. I used Root Browser to move the apk file to system app and changed permission to match the other apps. I rebooted which did install the app but still crashed once you get into the app.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Agent358:
Ok. There has to be a way to get it to work. When u say u changed it to match the others was that rw-r--r--
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Android Cowboy:
I agree that there must be a way for it to work. When the app loads it goes through the initial screen and as it tried to refresh magazine list it FC. I'm at work and don't have my KF so I will check the permission setting later today and let you know. I would really love to get to work. Only thing that I want on the Jelly Bean and I would have no reason to go back to the KF stock ROM.

If you can help me get this work I will write a blog post on my site about it and give you credit with any links that you want. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Agent358:
No need for that. May i ask what version of jelly bean are u using. Is it jandycane by lithium or is it hashcodes basic port of jelly bean.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Android Cowboy:
I'm using the CM10 Jelly with the SGT7 enhancements (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1778010). I believe that is based on Haschcode port. I have not tried this app any other Jelly Bean ROM.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Agent358:
Mmm. Cm10 we might run into a little trouble cm10 doesnt have usb mounting yet. Any way we can do it without adb.Can u give me a link to the new yorker app so i can play around with it
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Android Cowboy:
I checked the permission in system/app and it is -rw-r--r-- and the app can be found https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49697586/TheNewYorker_2.2.0.12.37111.apk

The app is a Kindle Fire Edition and I think it probably checks to see if that software matches custom KF. May need to somehow edit within the apk file. Let me know if I can help in anyway. Thanks.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Agent358:
Not with the sgt7 enhancements. Thats what made me switch over to jandycane
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Agent358:
I m out of ideas. Ive extracted the apk and went through every file didnt see any thing that said look for android 2.3. Josepho any ideas
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Android Cowboy:
What tool did you use to extract the apk. Maybe I'll take a look around myself. Were there any protected files within the apk that it could be in.
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Agent358:
I used root explorer but since u mentioned using es file explorer. U can download 7zipper from the google play store and extracts apks. Its also free
[Kindle Fire Themes and Apps] Android Cowboy:
I decompiled the apk using Virtous Ten Studio and the Android Manifest lists the minimum sdk at api 8 which is Android 2.3 and target api at 11 which is actually Android 3.0 honeycomb. So this might work on ICS ROM. I might switched and try later. Played around with changing the target api but that didn't help. This might not be that simple and require serious java coding to make it compatible. Unless someone has a solution. I'll continue to play with the file and see if I get anywhere but I'm new at this and dont' know my way around android apk that well.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Hey guys, I'm waiting on my tablet to come in from best buy. In the mean time I'm getting ready to start converting movies to be ready to throw on when it gets in and I get a 64gb card for it (hope it works without too much fighting). So I'm hoping some of you guys can help me out with video settings. I want a balance of size/quality. and to keep size as far under 1gb each as possible for a standard 90 minute movie. I'm also a huge Futurama/American Dad/ Family Guy/ Simpsons/Southpark fan so obviously lower quality can be used, so if you have converted this type of animated stuff, what settings seemed to give the smallest size while retaining quality for the TF700? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
IMHO even for animation thats way to low a bitrate. I would go with handbrake high profile, shoot for 3-5mbps 720p if they are HD originals. If they are 480p originals then maybe you're ok with that bitrate.

Personally i shoot for 4gb movies.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
This isnt going to be my sole movie experience device. This is my travel and work companion. 1-1.5 is where I stick for a good action movie. But comedies and such I go lower. Animation I stick around 700mb. When im getting drunk on an airplane, I want to make sure my movies arnt blotchy and pixilated, but they dont have the be blue ray quality. I run a media server at home (plex) and that's where I keep the levels far higher.

I may have to give hand brake a try, I have been using format factory for years because I can make so many adjustments and chose the containers and formats.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
get dvdcatalyst to convert your movies. It has a few presets for all devices. they can range from 1 to 4gb, depending on the initial size of the movie and the quality you want. i highly recommend it.

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
I appreciate the advice. I don't have an issue converting, I'm just trying to get some feedback as to the actual presets your using as to ratio, bit rate, file type and container types, so on.
[Asus Transformer TF700] troa11:
Here's what I personally use, you can set what you like otherwise...

For TV DVD sources, I convert them from anamorphic to square pixel, and then crop widescreen movies as necessary. 640x480 SD videos I use a bitrate of 1mbps. Widescreen stuff I give 1.5mbps. These are the copies I watch on the TV, tablet, phone, whatever and I can't tell any quality difference between the original and the h264 encode. At these levels I can fit all of Home Movies, Futurama S1-5, The Office S1-4 and all of ATHF on one 64gb card.

For movies, since these are just portable copies and not my full versions for home viewing, I use the same standards above for SD sources, and for HD sources I scale it down to 720p, crop if necessary, and use a 2mbps bitrate. (you could insist on a 1080p encode, but on a 10" screen are you really going to notice the difference and need to add in the extra bps?) You get a little more pixelation at times, but nothing unwatchable. This keeps it light enough to stream over my local network and small enough that you can fit a lot on while still being a good watchable version.

All audio I drop to a 96kpbs stereo mix.

This is what works for me. What works for any of you may be different depending on what you use it for.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Exactly what I was looking for.
[Asus Transformer TF700] DarsVaeda:
what are the appropriate codec (video & audio) settings to get hardware acceleration and native player support?
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
For the native player you need h.264(avc) video and stereo aac audio.
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
i have movies that are h264 and DTS 5.1. I just drop them on my 64gb card (inserted into the doc) and they play fine, nice and crisp. No need to convert. They are about 4gb in size.
[Asus Transformer TF700] gottahavit:
Your playing dts on the native player? Me thinks not. BS player will however,but asked about native
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:

Hello,

I was running MeanROM ICS v1.7 before and everything was running correctly. After upgrading to MeanROM ICS v1.91 I am having an issue with the Recent Apps function. The right-menu button does bring up the Recent Apps, but on that screen none of my Recent Apps are displayed, and only a small yellow box appears at the bottom. As I mentioned earlier I was running MeanROM ICS v1.7 and this was not the case.

I did flash the "stock-button" zip that is included with the ROM on a flyer that it might resolve the issue, but it did not. The button brings up the screen, but the functionality is gone. If anyone else has upgraded to v1.91 if they could confirm that it is/is not happening on their device it would be greatly appreciated so I can determine if it is just my device or the upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

...and mikeyxda, thank you very much for the MeanROM in the first place, it's a great ROM.

I saw that Mike released v1.92 today, and did another upgrade (including doing a wipe), and that appears to have resolved that particular issue, but thank you for the 'lol' and smart-ass response. Very helpful.
