How long until you believe this phone becomes obsolete? I hear a lot of people (and read them, too) say that this is probably the first phone they'd go the full 2 years with...however, being realistic, when was the last time you made it two years with the same device? I haven't gone two years with the same device since the original Razr was in style.

I know, I know, at 2gb ram, dual core, etc, this phone is far from becoming obsolete, so I'll rephrase that question for you: What feature on a future phone would make you make the switch from your Galaxy S3? Or are you confident enough that there will be no other phone in the next two years that can replace it?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] spyderman09:
I don't know that I have a feature that I would jump ship for at this time ... but I wonder if, in 2 years, the size and use of applications will make even 2 gb of ram obsolete?

I'm in the camp that I can see keeping this phone throughout contract, but it is hard to tell if, in 1.5 to 2 years time, 2 GB of ram is actually not enough to keep up with programs/OS requirements. I don't necessarily think so, but remember back when 256MB of ram was a lot? That wasn't TOO long ago.

But, since I don't use my phone for intense gaming, I see this phone in my future for a long while - at least until the sandwich-making feature phone is announced.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] banzaiwolfe:
I don't think it being obsolete would be the problem. I'll just want something newer at some point before two years. My Evo 3D could have easily lasted another year for my uses, but I still got a GS3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
You and I think alike. Also had Evo 3D, Razr, GNex, but still had to have the S3 and more than likely getting the Note 2 when it comes out
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
Ill keep mine the whole 2 years (well 20 months or whatever it is) just like I have done with every other phone. While there may be something new and better out if you are always waiting for that you will never have a phone. That and the cost to buy phones off contract now are more than I want to spend.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace42:
It will become obsolete sometime between Q4 2012 & Q2 2013. Qualcomm are already prepping the S4 QUAD for tablets this year and its performace is roughly x2 the Dual S4, and far exceeds the Exynos 4212+Tegra 3 if I read correctly. Technically the GPU in all Android phones are obsolete or slow in comparison to Apple's latest offerings(Imaginations is like a high-end Nvidia in the mobile-space, Adreno mid, and Tegra mid-high).

For some reason I feel someone is gonna make a 1080P phone, which is useless btw--just had to throw that out there for those that were unaware. Cores cores and more cores will probably be one of the more popular acts we see though, and 2GB-4GB Ram will be standard. Unfortunately I wish these companies would realize they need to relax b/c optimizations are practically nonexistent with Stock Android phones. I hate to constantly reference Apple & WP7/8, though it's a must. When i hear people telling me stuff like the HOAX or S3, or whatever dual/quad lags--lag. Seriously, these phones are using CPUs that theoretically should outperform the 4S/iPd3, but that's normally not the case. We are getting to a point where everyone is rushing to get out the latest and greatest, however all the hardware don't mean **** when the software can't match it.

P.S. Sorry about going off on a rant.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] p3rljam:
I have been so disappointed with the radio in my t-mobile s3 because I cannot stream music without it cutting out constantly. I am actually going to demand a microsim adapter from them and return to my vibrant. If my data sucks so bad that I cannot consistently stream music in the car, what's the point of owning this without calling it just a pda.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] composi:
What are u streaming? And what coverage do you have? 3G? H+?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace42:
And it only took around 2 months for it to become obsolete then, not ideal in the world I would prefer, but I suppose it can't be helped. This phone could had been so much more if Samsung stuck with the SGX instead of adopting the Mali-400. It would had been so cool to have the CPU part of the S4 combined with a dual/quad SGX543/544 like the ipad/iphones. Those GPUs outperform even the silly Tegra 3 & its fancy 16 cores(which are just 16 weak cores throw together :rolleyes: ). I don't know what Sammy or Qualcomm were thinking about. Everyone is just dropping the ball all over the place these days.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] anubus45:
I'm not really sure, mainly because I'm not entirely vested in this phone as it is, so it probably wouldn't take much, provided I could sell this one and cover the majority cost of a replacement phone.

I think something with sufficient horsepower to run some things which even this phone can't, but that remains to be seen. One thing that could almost definitely sell me is a flagship phone like this one that has a hardware keyboard. The problem is that I'm in the minority, so a flagship Galaxy S or Nexus phone is highly unlikely to have one, and I care ever so slightly more about the fact that flagship phones have thriving development communities, whereas one-off phones, which I may like more, won't get the same kind of attention from either developers or manufacturers.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] knifedroid:
I'll keep my phone until my contract is up. I always have (except for my BB Storm which I *****ed about until they upgraded me). My OG Droid Inc lasted for 2 years until I got this S3 and it was still in like new condition. I was tired of the small screen, but the devs here kept the phone fresh.

Hell, part of me misses my Inc. (Love this phone, though.)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] w98seeng:
Do you mean the dual core 800MHz in the 4S? That is Apple's current offering.

Since the definition of obsolete is...

1.	out of use or practice; not current

2.	out of date; unfashionable or outmoded

An old Startac is obsolete because it It can no longer be used. My old Motorola RAZR is not obsolete because I can still use it

for it's intended purpose.

I would say the phone will not be obsolete for many years to come. How can a device me considered obsolete if there is a phone

with a faster CPU or more memory? The phone can still be used for it's intended purpose.

My S3 can not do anything my Vibrant couldn't (with the same mechanicals), it only does it better.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ace42:
Actually when I said latest offering I was referencing the iPad 3. And actually I stated the GPU in Android devices are all obsolete(as in not current in terms of power). The Legendary SGX543 MP4 in the iPad 3 mops the floor of every single Android device to ever touch this world, even the soon to be made Adreno 320 in the new S4 QUAD(snapdragon) fails to match the creature. Even the 4S' SGX543 MP2 is barely phased by the Mali 400, Adreno 225, and Tegra 3's laughable 16 core toy. I have no doubt that the S3's CPU is superior at all.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bohiti:
Obsolete (by my definition) doesn't mean that a newer/better product exists. Every device would be a obsolete within a few months if that were the case. To me obsolescence means that it either doesn't perform modern tasks acceptably or a new product feature is so desirable that you simply don't want your old device anymore.

We all know the S3 will handle Jelly Bean beautifully. I'm pretty confident it will be good for Key Lime Pie as well. I got close to 2 years from my OG Epic (Galaxy S1) and only upgraded short of 2 years because I could. With the strong CM/AOKP support this phone has, I'm fully confident I'll have this phone the full 2 years. Unless I break it, heh.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rhum 1:
Hi,

i would like to know if it's possible to save the face tags of my photos ? Let me explain : i like to change of ROM and when i wipe data/reset factory or when i flash a new ROM with odin then i loose the face tags of my photos. Of course it's normal to loose the tags but there must be a file where the tags data are stored ?!

Does anybody here know where the tags are stored (in order to allow me to save them)?

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deusdies:
I don't think so. JPG (or any other standard for that matter) doesn't include anything like face tagging, not that I'm familiar with at least, not even in the EXIF data. But I could be wrong.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mistwalker:
I'm having the same "problem", I like to be able to view all the pictures of a specific person in the gallery, very neat feature :)

If you manually "detect" (I would call it set) the face tag, then the phone says: "Saving picture..." when you're done setting your manual face tags. So there is obviosly doing something to save the data. The question remains: Where is the saved data stored?

[LG Optimus 2x] Memhis:
It will be good to read [RECOVERY] CWM-based Recovery 5.0.2.8 for Internal & External SD Cards, if you already haven`t, and ask there if you have not find your answer by reading first.

Then, it will be nice to provide some more info, to get better answer.

What rom/kernel? Can you boot into your android? Or just in logo screen? Can you flash other things with cwm? Cwm backups on internal or external sd?

As you haven`t provide much info, I will write some general things.

First, try wiping cache in cwm and see if it works now.

If not, try to perform other mount/unmount/format in cwm. You should also try to install latest cwm from the link above (espesially if you have instaled current cwm with Rom Manager).

If none of this work, you will must try with nvflash/smartflash.

See this ROM] NVFlash Opti-3D v-1.4.4 V20s Stock GB Clean CWM | UNBRICK

This if you can`t boot. If you can boot, it is possible that it was a bad backup. Just flash another rom.

P.S. I have this kind of errors often (due to lot of flashing), wiping cache, and rarely data, have solved problems almost always. Or formatting my sd and putting backup folder back on it. However, few times it was a soft brick and nvflash was needed.

Hope it helps.
[LG Optimus 2x] dasavi:
Thank you very much, i use NVFlash ,i could repared my phone :)

Well i want chance my kernel , how i install another kernel? Do i need only install .Zip with recovery? What kernel is the best if i want OC?

Thank Thank Thank:D:D:D:D

[LG Optimus 2x] mike the mighty viking:
Dear Dasavi

best kernel depends on how you want your phone to perform.

My recommendation is that you purchase the PRO edition of CWM and try out different combinations of ROMS and kernels, both GB and ICS based. With the PRO version, flashing new ROMS and kernels is a real breeze. With GetRIL you can make sure your radios perform optimal.

In the process, make sure you read what our talented developers have written about their ROMs and how to make them perform best.

I use the NOVA HD 1.1.0 with the NOVA kernel 3.0.36 pure edition. They work together like magic.

I also use Wajks WIUI 2.5.25. It is android 2.3.7 (GB). Very nice design, with working video recorder.

Baseline is: Read, read, read, try, try and then ask.

Modding is fun!!

Hi there,

I believe that I succesfully updated my Gnote to ICS using the files provided, however now I'm wondering if I need to reflash my modem in order to use HSPA+ on T-mobile again ?? From the performance that I'm getting on T-mobile (in the US) since the update, it looks like I'm only running on EDGE now. So I guess I'll need to update my modem once again.

Now the question is, can I do this since having updated my G Note to ICS ?? Any thoughts or ideas on this ??

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 Android Development] alfiyansys:
Hi! Welcome to my first thread! :)

Firstly, I will not provide a full guide to build a kernel, because it is already available in another development section.

The problem if we want to change SGY bootsplash is, there is no *.rle file inside the ramdisk, different with older Samsung phone, (e.g.: Galaxy Mini).

But, it can be added with custom images, not changed at all, after default bootsplash, our custom image will be shown.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.10, with 2009q3-68 codesourcery arm toolchain, and the kernel source from http://opensource.samsung.com

Okay, directly to the guide :)

I assumed, all building environment has configured correctly, including the correct settings of Makefile

open the file browser, I'm using nautilus, and look inside common folder, and go to drivers/video/logo/

maybe it looks like this one :

find a image file named “logo_linux_clut224.ppm”, rename it to another name, so we do not lose the original.

Open your 240x320 image using gimp,

go to menu, image > mode > indexed, change the maximum numbers of color to 224,

now save the image as *.pnm image file type, but name as “logo_linux_clut224.ppm”, save it to the path common/drivers/video/logo/

and save as ASCII data format

now you have modified bootsplash logo :)

then, open your terminal, and point your current directory to “common” directory,

if this the first time for you build the kernel, do :

$ make bcm21553_totoro_05_defconfig

$ make menuconfig

Please don't change anything if you don't know.

if you had already build the kernel, and there's still your kernel configuration inside “.config” file, just do :

$ make menuconfig

menuconfig may looks like this one :

go to device drivers > graphics support > and mark the bootup logo [*] with space button,

then press enter, and configure like this

exit, and save your kernel configuration.

now you're ready to re-compile your kernel and build boot.img as usual :)
