[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] il buono:
The best all around phone is the S3 because in addition to a great device, Samsung is more dev friendly. New Evo LTE users are stuck on HBOOT 1.15 with s-on and HTC takes its time releasing source. Now tell me how it's better all around? The Evo has a great camera and screen but as a former owner of it I can't state that it's an all around better phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
That's another big reason I went with the S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nabbed:
I have both phones and I don't use Evo anymore. I boot it up every two weeks to check the battery level (which it's holding like a champ.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shook187:
I could think of another reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
LOL. Well, yours was s-off already. If I could've found another one with s-off, I might've gone with the EVO. I'd still be a little bitter about that if I didn't love my S3 so much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] il buono:
I sold my s-off Evo on eBay. I forgot to add it to the description but the guy that received it was excited about it having s-off. There are times when I miss it but there's no need for me to have two devices as a student :D

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
I hate that s-off, s-on nonsense. I was lucky to get an earlier Hboot on my EVO 3D but it seemed like such a PITA for the people in the forums who didn't have that luxury.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] il buono:
Definitely. I was one of the unlucky ones on the Evo 3D :( after a month I got fed up and just sold it on craigslist.

Just switched from the EVOLTE and loving every minute of it. I had a HUGE issue with the evo constantly freezing up when in the browser through Google search app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bird11:
The galaxy s3 is certainly a great phone. The screen though is borderline awful. White's are a pale blue instead of actual white. evo lte side by side with the galaxy s3 is not a comparison. Everything else seems better on the s3 but the screen kills it for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Razgriz:
After a week with both, I still have no idea which one to keep. I think the only major deciding factor is the battery...I think the E4GLTE lasts longer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfeyes30:
Haha.. Same boat. I gave myself up to Sunday, today, to make my decision. Making decisions is not a strong point for a Libra. Takes forever. Wish I could smash both together and make one phone.

Hell..now I'm thinking of keeping both. What's wrong with me? :)

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:05 PM ----------

I agree. Also think TW is ugly. I know custom rom will fix that, but there's no fixing the screen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Razgriz:
I want to keep both, but the E4GLTE is quickly losing value, so Idk. I'm going to give it another couple of days.

I got rid of the Touchwiz launcher by downloading Apex Launcher. Like it a lot so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfeyes30:
I know it is. Have mine up as a feeler and only one bite so far on CL.

Also running Nova but that only solves the homescreen and app drawer. The rest still ugly to me. The color combos are terrible. The notification pull down color scheme is awful. And good god, the SMS is ugly too. Its throughout the skin. Just unappealing to me.

But it runs smooth as butter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bso44:
Different strokes...

I came from two HTC Sense devices (Hero and EVO 3D) and absolutely love Touchwiz so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Razgriz:
I agree...I hate the touchwiz messaging app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pathtologos:
Wow, cool thread. Just switched over from evo lte and I'm glad I did. Don't get me wrong, the evo was a great device but overall I'm just enjoying the look and feel of the s3 more. I like the over saturated colors tbh. And I got the pebble blue which looks incredible. Only thing I've noticed that's just a little bit of a drawback is that the evo seemed to remain cooler when running graphically intensive games. I'm running the aokp ROM and its AWESOME.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tft:
i still don't get the fuss about some complaining about the pentile display.. i mean are you starring at the screen from 3 inches away? pentile does have some benefits.

what do you do when you watch TV and can see all those pixels and imperfections, or what about your LCD computer monitor? stop being so anal and use the phone without over analyzing every detail..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] motcher41:
My biggest regret was not returning it for eeither the gnex(which I had on vzw) or the s3. Besides camera and multitasking how's other items? Any noticeable flaws or data/signal issues? I noticed there are not too many aosp roms on here for it. What your honest opinion on them...? My 2nd replacement EVO LTE comes tomorrowand its going straight to eBay as nib since I'm not gonna even open it.

---------- Post added at 08:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 PM ----------

I agree I think pentile being dogged is unfounded. I have had three other phones with it and I found it just fine for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfeyes30:
S3 question

There a way to stop the annoying "You lost data connectivity" notification? Unchecked all roaming guards but still shows. BTW, not rooted yet. Pure stock.

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] motcher41:
Does that happen often? I doubt its something u can stop without rooting
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfeyes30:
Too often actually. I get it when I'm on wifi at home as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] motcher41:
I'm wondering...u live in the boonies? And does it only happen when WiFi is on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Duhstehn:
How long do you have to return the Evo for the S3? 14 days?

My wife has the S2 and although I love my Evo, HTC just isn't for me. Love the screen, but idk, just doesn't feel right IMO.

I love HTC products but lately whats been making me switch to sammy phone are one thing

S-OFF

once I have to dev unlock it instead of a full s-off I get so turned down I hate the limitations, even if its just splash screens and kernels

Samsung phones are super simple all you need is odin to start
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] air2k57:
Had both, was excited for the evo till I got it. Overheated, even with custom ROMs the multitasking was god awful.

Display wise, I'd rake gs3 anyday! Looks clearer, contrast is better as well. The only thing I liked about the evo were stock brightness levels, much better than stock gs3.

Software wise, I really liked sense, not ad much as stock android. If I had to choose between touchwiz and sense, I'd go with sense any day, even with borked multitasking. Reason I traded was due to cm10 being out :).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I'm seriously considering the switch, I've loved htc since my og evo, and I think the lte is a great phone, but I keep experience more and more bugs. I've never owned a Samsung phone that I was happy with though. I'm worried about bad reception and bad gps on the gs3 and I've read conflicting reviews. I might wait for an update from htc and see what gets fixed.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ElJimmy:
I've owned mostly HTC phones and I anticipated getting the new evo but freeza pointed out great reasons to get the gs3. I love this phone thanks freeza!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mulhiny:
In regards to GPS, while I've never owned the Evo LTE, my Evo 3D would only lock on 9 satellites from my living room. My GS3 locks almost 20 from the same exact location on my couch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] metalfan78:
I have a sour taste because I was with tmobile a couple years ago and I had the Samsung vibrant, it was a real POS. So I'm on the fence on this. I wish I had the money to buy and test for 14 days. It's hard to put a phone through any daily driver stuff in the store, plus who knows what other customers have done to it

"We're coming from a pure power source"
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] motcher41:
I must say last time I fired up GPS it Saud it locked on 17

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] He123321:
I currently have the EVO LTE, but had the SGS3 for about 2 days before I returned it. Trying to get my hands on another SGS3 because, well I am a cell phone junkie lol. The LTE has a killer screen, Beats Audio is very nice, great battery life, great camera with affects, and I love the kick stand. What I dont like about the LTE is Sense UI, but that is personal taste. The reason I want the SGS3 is because of Touch Wiz, and nothing else.

At the end of the day, it comes down to personal choice since both phones have their own pros and cons. :cool:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] molitar:
I just upgraded from EVO 3D to the Samsung Galaxy S3 White today. Now to start rooting.. Got all my apps on ext4 partition using Link2SD.

Only thing I noticed is poor connectivity while browsing internet and slow speeds hopefully some fixes come out for that.

[7 Mozart General] sheik124:
Hello all,

I had a Mozart last year (November) that I flashed with DFT 7720 and gave to my cousin as a gift.

One of the WiFi access points he uses requires MAC address authentication, and this ROM does not provide him with a static MAC address? Are there any stable ROMs I can instruct him to flash so that he can get a static MAC address?

I asked him what version bootloader he has, and he replied with "1.32.2250.1(119496)" - I'm fairly certain I downgraded to NoDo and installed HSPL on there in order to flash DFT the first time.

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: If it makes any difference, it's a Telstra Mozart (850 MHz 3G)
[7 Mozart General] Localhorst86:
This was an issue with early Mozart Mango roms, it was an error by HTC and I think other models were affected by this. just flash a newer version (8773 or 8779) and you should be fine.

Last night I rooted my Note

Baseband Version N7000XXLB1 // ANDROID VERSION 2.3.6

So now what I want to do is install a new rom. Nothing fancy .. Nothing with bugs etc .. And apparently I have NO CLUE where to start. Don't know what to download .. I was all proud of myself when I rooted the phone, didin't realize how STUPID I was yet ... Suggestions? I just would like to have a link to "installing Ice Cream for dummies."

I read or heard to install mobile odin. I did and then couldn't find my way back to what I was supposed to do next .. I think I can't do it because I am just so frustrated .. but I think my head is gonna explode. I don't know why I am having so much trouble. I rooted my Streak, my Galaxy Tab, It is possible I am getting senile.

there are too many custom ICS in dev forum,since i been use RR7 for awhile so i think its good for you to start with.Right now ICS 4.0.4 out but install with Aroma and its kind of confusing.I guess you just start with ICS 4.0.3 first and when you use to live today and flash tomorrow and start play something else.Everybody start from beginning...:victory:.Wish you luck

I tried, didn't happen for me.

1. My screen doesn't have the same options as the one in the video.

2. the zip files do not appear when I chose update from sd card. They are there, for sure.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] Yin-Yang:
I see that you are currently on 2.3.6, i.e., Gingerbread, hence you can safely flash any thing you want without worrying about the brickbug. Also as you are on GB you do not need Abyss 4.2.

Just decide which ROM you want to Flash (custom or stock). Also if you are planning to flash ICS Roms you have lot many choices. Just search through the forum.

Read Dr. Ketans Guide for root & flashing stock ROMs here, with additonal information in his signature: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

Also if you are planning to install custom ROM, just visit the OP of the developer, for download link (a normal search in google will take you to the same, eg. searching Criskelo ROM for galaxy note in google). You then have to just follow the instruction to the line in the thread. Pls. read all instruction 2-3 time before you actually start flashing.

Further just take a look at this sticky threads if you flash to ICS & then you plan to flash another ICS ROM or go back to GB.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Westfire:
So I have had a HTC Sense phone since the beginning on my Android tenure. I haven't used pure stock Google too many times other than flashing here and there. Anyway, I am so used to some of the Sense additions that are either missing or I can't find in stock.

First, Sense links are contacts together for you and you can unlink if you need to. However, I know Facebook hasn't updated their API so you have to download a 3rd party app to sync photos. Also, I manually had to link/merge all my contacts which was a PITA and took forever. Is there a way to auto link contacts together in stock?

Secondly, I hooked into work email and the stock email app is not displaying HTML email. It does on Sense but I can't find any settings in stock email to enable HTML. What am I missing?

Those are the things that have stood out so far. I want to move to the Nexus line and thought a tablet would be a good start. Although a lot of people hate Sense I think it does a lot of things that stock does not. Plus, I really like the uniformity of widgets and it feels more polished. I know Google is getting there though.

Thanks all!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
I'm a pretty serious sense fan. I really enjoy modding and tweaking sense a lot. I just wanted to let you know that pretty much everything widget and app wise that sense can do, you can also get AOSP to do. But it does take a lot of reading on the forums, google searches, or talking to people who have been using AOSP for a long time to learn all of the tricks of the trade and what's possible.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayrod1980:
Hey all, just want a little advice. I have a pretty good 16gb model in my possession, no screen lift but some creak in the bezel. My problem is that blacks and very scale are awful. I don't have the wierd opaque hue that happened to some people but I feel my screen is very washed out. The gamma looks pretty blown out and there's not much contrast. Of course viewing angles are awesome but this screen is on par with the wife's nook tablet. On top of that the tablet touchscreen goes unresponsive on occasion. I've done stock, rooted, custom Roms... still some unresponsiveness... though it doesn't happen all of the time. It is however localized to the light middle portion of the screen.

I just received the email saying they will send a replacement but that I would be subject to the full price if the device is not found to be "defective enough."

How many have exchanged? I love the device but I'm not impressed with the washed out screen, creak and the touch problems. If the device gets hot the screen gets unresponsive. Anyone here been charged for the new device though they had problems that warranted a replacement?
