I sold SGS2 in March and bought iPhone 4S until SGS3 isn't available. When I recieved SGS3 I couldn't be happier, iOS is boring and limited. Also 3.5" display is a joke. SGS3 is much better in every area IMO.

You're right, only the small screen of iphone makes it look like a toy compared to S3.

But Apple get it, from the rumors about the future iphone, they'll bring a bigger screen.

Yeah, 4inc screen :rolleyes:

I'm sorry but I think my old 4s was better in a lot of things, especially siri and on wireless tv connection and mirroring. I lost these functionalities and I miss ithem a lot.

I chose s3 only for dimensions

Samsung software is really bad and full of bugs. Kies is sheet.

Root is necessary to have something functional.

Ios Jb is optional

I hope iPhone 5 will be bigger enough, and will be my next phone.

In meantime I have my iPad, the best tablet in the world.

I think the iphone is the right phone for you. Sell your GS3 to someone who knows how to use it and stick with that "fascinating" grid of icons. My grandfather (who doesn't even know how to turn on a pc) made the same decision and he is very happy with it. You don't seem to know much more about technology than my granpa so you won't regret it either.

I have owned the 3GS, iPhone 4 and 4S (I swap phones often) and will never go back to iOS. I think iOS 6 is a poor excuse of an update and innovation from Apple has seriously slowed.

[Galaxy S III General] labbe-:
I had an iPhone 4S before I lost it and bought my SGS3. After jailbreaking iOS isn't too bad actually, you can customize it however you want, almost like android. Heck, I even ran HTC Sense theme on it. Obviously andoid is better now that ive used it for couple months.

I had made the choice of switching to android as my next phone quite some time ago, so after the SGS3 came to the shelves I immediately bought it, without having done any research on android.

My first impressions of the desing were, and still are: what the hell were Samsung thinking.

1. The phone is slippery as hell, almost unusable so I bought a casemate case.

2. The home button is too low.

3. The capacitive buttons are also too low and too close to the edges.

On the plus side, the screen is amazing and the mod/capacitive buttons issue can be solved by installing the navbar mod.

Touchwiz is also horrible, its slow and full of bloat, thank god for cyanogenmod! I really don't understand why google is letting all the oem's ruin their operating system.

In hindsight I shouldve bought the Galaxy Nexus. It feels better in hand, doesnt have awkward hw buttons and runs on aosp.

Keep in mind that these are just my opinions, your opinion may vary. I believe everyone should have the freedom to choose their device based on their needs and not get bashed if, for example, someone likes simplicity and doesnt need to customize their phone, or likes to flash a new rom every day and see what is best.

Its the fanboys on both camps that creates the tension between ios and android users, which is sad because both platforms have their good and bad gualities.

[Galaxy S III General] :
Some interesting comments in this thread...:rolleyes:

Anyway, moved from a 4S to my S3, before that had a Desire HD. The 4S move was done for two reasons; a desire for everything to literally just work, and the supposed practicality when it comes to warranty service.

The software mostly worked, though notifications were unreliable every now and then. Didn't like the frankly silly restrictions that Apple had in place, such as attaching images to an email, which wasn't possible from the email app. There was just no reason for it. On the plus side, it was of course a far smoother experience than Android was. Project Butter has changed that though; in fact, the reason I came back to Android was more because of the improvements of Android than being fed up of iOS.

The biggest two reasons were price, and Apple's warranty support being far worse than expected. The 32GB 4S is currently £599, compared to my S3 with a 16GB Class 10 Verbatim card costing £150 less. I could get a 32GB Class 4 card for £3 more, giving me 48GB storage, but I don't need the space, and if I do, it'll cost me a tenner. It was a choice between speed or space.

Apple's warranty support was terrible. Three refurb replacements that were flawed, followed by two brand new, boxed replacements (that both had to be ordered out through a two week process, the first time leaving me phoneless - they could not swap from store stock) that had enough cosmetic damage to look like they had been dropped. Getting a perfect unit was seemingly impossible, and I had gone through the same experience with iPod touches a couple of years before. Having an Apple Store near you makes no difference - in the event that you receive duff units numerous times, you are at no advantage compared to sending your phone off to another manufacturer.

In contrast, this S3 has a couple of minor issues (big piece of dust in the front camera and a small, black piece of dust at the top of the display, near the camera), and Amazon being the retailer, rather than the manufacturer, are sending out a replacement as a new order, with zero inconvenience to myself.

Overall, the iPhone is a good phone but Apple need to stop restricting applications unnecessarily. Is Android a better experience? With Jelly Bean, absolutely. Of course, for those who aren't so technical, iOS is probably a better choice, though the majority of users will be absolutely fine with Android.

The S3 has turned out to be better than expected, by a long shot. The display is no longer massively oversaturated, and the build quality is fantastic. Sure, the materials are poorer, but quite honestly I've not noticed any difference. The S3 actually feels slightly better in the hand, and is extremely manageable, to my surprise. The DHD was an absolute pain in comparison.

Battery life with the Siyah kernel is also brilliant, slightly better than the 4S before it.
[Galaxy S III General] mrjasper:
Pretentious FAIL

It is not grammatically correct to end a sentence with '...'. LOL.

iOS is simply for laymen, and that is fine. The status symbol thing is dated, as is the phone. But it's the arrogance and assumption that because they have an iPhone it bizarrely awards them technological knowledge is what really winds me up.

i am really pissed. yesterday i bought my galaxy nexus and thats the second day with no damn signal.. i read about the bug when the phone goes in standby, the signal drops but i NEVER have signal. not even when i am using my phone for 20minutes. there is always a grey bar in the status bar.. please i need help..

No GSM signal and/or no mobile data signal?

PS: the bar is grey if you're not connected to Google's servers. When you are, it turns blue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SENSATION_XE:
usually the bar contains an "x". rarely there is no "x". never had a blue bar.e

when i activate mobile data, the bar gets blue or grey and there is signal but still turns into "x" when i put my phone into sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Sounds to me either the radio is incompatible with your carrier or some HW malfunction. I'd go back to the store and ask for some service.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ltredbeard:
I bought an Alpine CDE-HD137BT headunit for its Pandora functionality. However, I learned you need to have an AVRCP 1.3 supported ROM to use the BT Pandora source versus the less functional BT Audio source. So I found Codename Android and flashed it, but that didn't completely solve my problem.

Here is the situation:

If my radio is on the BT Pandora source and I launch Pandora the radio will read "No Pandora". The only way to get it to connect to Pandora is to

1. Start Vehicle (it is in BT Pandora mode)

2. Launch Pandora App (it will start playing but no audio will come out the radio)

3. Cycle through all the options back to BT Pandora.

4. Let it connect and enjoy.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Edit: I tried to connect straight from the BT Pandora on an Incredible 2 and it worked. I'll test another ROM.

Actually its not the modem. Those should work with any of the roms here. You are thinking of the kernel I believe. Theres only a few to choose from and it boils down to preference.

If you are going to the UVALH2 update or later, you will need a purely stock kernel. Custom ones aren't working yet.

Hello all,

I tried to installed ICS based on this post here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1622425.

here are the steps i did

1. downloaded all the items required that is APX flash tool and Thor 1.7.3 recovery, V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm.zip

2. got my cpuid and sbk

3. connected the iconia to computer with usb cable

4. started the apx flash tool.

5. entered my sbk by copy from text file and pasting in the dialog box of flash tool. and clicked the right arrow

6. selected the 'V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm.zip' file.

7. saw the acer logo and the a500 in apx mode

8. finally the flash tool said done and asked to boot the tablet.

9. after booting the tablet, i found that it only says 'Skrilax-CZ's bootloader V8 Bootin primary kernel image"

I am now completely lost as how I can move forward to install the Thor 1.7.3 revoery and the ICS ROM on here.

I am unable to make this tablet go into APX mode as suggested in the post by civato, both manually as well as using the blackthund3r a500 manager. A500 manager reports 'A500 detected in normal mode. debugging enabled.

I would appreciate any help on resolving this.
