Stock.. the smoothest imo... google chrome looks sexier and has more features and is intuitive but has bugs...

On ics? Ics+browser hands down.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicky041192:
I use Dolphin! Love the gesture to open bookmarks.

I find this browser faster and better than stock and Chrome. Although I love how chrome syncs your bookmarks easily I hate having to tap a few times to access my bookmarks. With dolphin, I just swipe right and I get a list of my bookmarks.

I just don't like the feel of the stock browser. Lacks features in my opinion. I also use Dolphin on my iPad and can sync bookmarks between the devices.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alchemist83:
Chrome - its super fast, great tabbing, plays flash and syncs with Chrome on my PC so I get all my bookmarks - then they sync two way when edited. Tried loads of them - Baidu ( a company that is apparently china's answer to Google) browser looks really good but is in beta still with the language stuck in chinese.

Chrome has no flash support, only html5.

I like Firefox beta, pretty fast no fcs, eyecandy, sync,...

The only downside is it isn't really memory friendly.

Could be that my eyes are tired, but for me this is a must and no other browser do it.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] inthepit:
Have never updated via kies before. I am currently on the ics leak rooted and have removed system apps. In order to update do I need to flash back to stock or can I update from kies without doing anything. Usually I just go for it and update, but wanna be careful this time cause I have no backup phone anymore
[Samsung Captivate Glide] twinsfan14:
I'd like to know this, too. But not if the official ROM has the same bugs as the leak did.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] inthepit:
so kies will not let me upgrade having the leaked firmware on it. says the phone cannot update via kies.

[Kindle Fire General] kinfauns:
FYI... It looks like the admins have decided to separate out the new Kindle Fire HD devices from this forum...

Amazon 7" Kindle Fire HD

Only the 7" HD device is represented at the moment and there is no forum for the 8.9" HD version yet. Maybe it's because we're still 2+ months out from that ship date, but I've been told by the higher-ups that one will be created as we approach its release date. In the meantime, it looks like all discussions on the new HD versions should now take place over there.

My thread regarding Amazon's announcements made yesterday has been moved over there...

The wireless charger blocks nfc on th battery

== Yea.. I tapped that!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
IF you have a Verizon phone, and grab a Verizon wireless charger.. it doesn't, because it adds a secondary NFC antenna. (But you need a Verizon phone, because the others don't have the hookups for it... for once Verizon was thinking ahead, and have a better product in that regard.)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] eatonjb:
yea.. I noticed that a while ago. I have the Verizon back, but an AT&T phone.. what a crock! uggg..

Sorry to get back to you so long, I didn't realise I posted here, may be I though it was a different thread, only got here by looking at my email, anyways I have posted all the info in another thread, I been through a few emails with them, but haven't got everything answered yet, but I do intend to visit them beginning of next month to make a purchase for testing.

So far I know they will ship to hong kong and nearby countries, but still waiting for a reply for international shipping.

Here is the site if you need more info www.yijieneng.com, in the other thread there is a downloadable PDF with price list.

wireless pad for europe

At least the promise for wireless chargers for Europe comes form Zens and it is here: http://www.makezens.com/how-does-it-work-for-my-samsung-galaxy-s3/.

It seems they (will) provide as well the back cover.

if it messes or not with NFC - that's hard to tell
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
What I want to know is, will the cover be thicker, and to support all my cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Slackflash:
well, from the photos-show on the link from Zens- it looks to be same thickness
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shangrila500:
So i was doing a little surfing today, watching some YouTube videos about the wireless charging mod with the touchstone, and I stumbled across a video of a guy showing his companies wireless charging products for the S3. I found the website shortly afterwards. I don't know if this is a reliable site or a reliable seller, but from what I can tell it seems to be. The website is like one of the Asian websites where you have a drop down box to choose which product you want, which color, etc and the boxes have both English and Korean characters in them.

So without further ado, the website is :

www.m-cloud.KR

I don't have a clue if they ship to the US, which I am hoping and praying they do, nor if their products will work with the US variants although I don't see why they wouldn't. I am going to try to contact them and see what their prices are, if they ship to the US, and if their product will work with the US variants.

Keep your fingers crossed

EDIT:

The more I look at the site using Google translate the more I get a weird vibe.

I decided I would use the Site Map link at the bottom of the main page and then I went to FAQ under the Customer section. It pulls up a few links down in the FalAQ section but there are several links above it that say things like:

[Register/Information]/[Purchasing/ordering process and Cancellation]/[Payment/Shipping]/[Exchange/Return/Refund]/[Earn]/[Reserve]/[Products]…

All of the links are clickable but when you click them it pulls up a message that says No Information Found, now it may just be that they don't have a great site designer or it could be a scam website. As of now I am still unsure. I am still going to contact them but I wanted to make a quick edit so if anyone saw this post they wouldn't be trigger happy until we know for sure. If they do ship to the US I will be the Guinea pig and order the kit. I am hoping this is for real and that the will ship to the US. We shall soon see

---------- Post added at 11:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

OK so a little more Google translating and I figured out the prices. It seems the Compact set is 89,000 won ($79.67), the Tilt set is 99,000 won ($88.63), and the All-in-One set is 129,000 won ($115.48).

The Compact set comes with: Reciever, wallet/holster, and compact (which is the wireless charger I believe.)

The Tilt set comes with: Reciever, wallet/holster, and tilt charging station.

The All-in-one set come with: Reciever, wallet/holster, Tilt charger, and compact charger.

I still don't know if this is a reliable source, and with these prices I think it'd be better to wait on kms108 to see if the company he is in contact with will ship international seeing ad how it does seem to be a more elegant solution.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] likwaiw:
Seems great. Where to get it???
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
I haven't received any email yet since the last two they sent me, may be it's saturday and sunday, either way i'm going to pay them a visit whether I get a reply or not, and i'll ask all the questions there and then.

One thing for sure it's not a scam web site, I did see there actual product for sale in shenzhen china, that how I got their details.

Nice info you found , but I still prefer the ones I found, as the base pads seems better looking and can support all size of smartphones with out hanging off the edge like the compact one. Another thing is it's cheaper and has a higher charging input current.

And the receiver can be purchased individually, and can be mod for other phones if needed.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] shangrila500:
I wasn't meaning yours was a scam, I was meaning maybe the one I found could possibly be. I too like the ones you found, they just look way better. The one I found looks fairly cheap and for that price I feel that it should look better. That's why I'm going to wait to purchase anything until you can find out if the company you found will ship to the states. I'm anxiously awaiting!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
Don't worry, neither did I.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
This is pretty dumb and could be just me but ill put it out there anyway. My drive to work is about an hour each day. From the time I wake up and get to work its about an hour and a half. My phone would be fully charged when I left my house and end up mid 90s when I get your my job. Maybe low 90s on some days depending on how much traffic there is. When I get to work, my phone seems to die pretty quickly. My job is pretty boring atm so I am on my phone a lot.

Next though. My phone is unplugged for about 20 minutes before I get in my car. Always goes down at least 2 or more percent in that time. But now lately I've been using my car charger on the way to work. Get it fully juiced again even from such a little drain and sometimes it seems like I get double the time from that extra charge. I use the charger it came with at home and bought like a $10 car one from amazon.

There's no proof to what I said but it's been helping me. I was on synergy the past few weeks and just switched to team insomnia last night. Hope this helps someone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kanc3r:
I have no idead what that your are trying to say. Switching roms helped you? Or a different charger?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galchristian:
I know what your talking about and I have the same experience just with the home charger, ever since I figured this out I always charge my phone at night and before bed around midnight or 1-2 a.m. I unplug it. I wake up at 9:30-10 I have about a 4% drop of charge and put the phone back on the charger till the phone says charged. Like this I have 3h screen on time with about 1-1.5h talking time. also I stream a lot of music from grooveshark/soundcloud/sirius xm and also use google music..lot of gtalk and video talk with my wifey :)

try it out guys and see yourself. It really makes a hell of a difference.

EDIT: @aypeeootrek he's trying to say that the battery life is better if you charge the phone wait till a few % drops and charge it again till full. (that's what I understood)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
I think that's called the trickle

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OnceAMatrixMan:
Or bump charging. It worked with my Dinc too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hollywoodo:
if you are in a low signal area (inside buildings or whatever) then switch to "power saving mode" in the drop down menu.

when out of those areas, switch off the power saver.

if you aren't getting 24 hours from a single charge, then you got apps/widgets sucking up way too much power.

Another choice is buying a second battery. That way if you run low, you just swap out and have another however many hours to play.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
The power saving setting really only helps when you are actively using your phone. Having it on or off with more or less be the same when it is idle. And if you get over 24 hours I could easily say you dont use your phone. A better way to judge battery life is by screen on time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hollywoodo:
not true. i speak from experience. from battery dead at 5p to 50% at 5p.

i use my phone to talk, email, and text. i guess i'm old school. but with 24 hours and a spare, i'll take it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pakee001:
24 hours? I've only got that once and I was in a 4g area and didn't touch my phone for 95% of the time. I live in a 3g area and have did almost everything to improve life. I love the days when I get 16 hours. I have definitely found that low signal is hard on this phone battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Ya, I am finding a lot of silly statements like the one you were talking about. Everyone seems to have an outstanding WHBL (when hit by lightning) story of how utterly amazing their battery life is, but can't show the rest of the world how they do it. What saves my battery life? I carry an external 5000mA external battery I can just throw on the phone when I am not near a charger. Another trick, I took the battery % off of my screen. Seeing the exact amount really showed me, almost too exactly, how bad the battery life is on this phone. I have felt the same way about other phones before tho, once the Jelly Bean update comes out, which, hopefully, Samsung is probably waiting to release until the iPhone comes out, will fix all of these problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omnia38:
So you bump charge it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SneakySonBeach:
YES!

i will agree with that 1000 times over, i hate where i live because any phone i have had gets awful battery life with no service...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tsnstuff:
I'm about to get a Galaxy S III on Monday, I do need to get an extra battery simply because I always like having a backup battery. Do all versions of the SIII use the same battery? I know when I switched from Verizon Nexus to GSM Nexus I had to buy different batteries for the GSM one.

And yes I'm getting a Verizon S III, I switched my Nexus to the GSM because Verizon killed the Nexus experience for me, but I still have the line so I figured may as well get it updated.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr0dzy:
Hi all,

I've been rooting Android phones (mostly Samsung) and installing CWM etc for as long as one has been able to. This is the first time I've had any major issues.

Issue being, no matter which CWM I install that states it supports external SD on i9300, I still can't install from zip on ext sd, or backup too it, or mount it!!!

Everyone else seems to be able to fine, but for some reason for me, following the same instructions step by step (tripple checked just to be sure) I cannot.

Now I did initially root the device relatively early on in the development stages for it, and installed a criskello rom (v6) about a month ago. Other than that, I've not played around with anything at all. Today I decided I'd try to install a new rom which I'd saved on the device to the external SD. But no, the CWM I had (6.0.1.0 I think) couldn't read ext sd.

Thus, I installed CWM 6.0.1.2 via Odin (following instructions found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1719744 )

But apparently for some crappy reason I have to be the odd one out, for whom it refuses to work!

Now, just to be sure, i've tried multiple SD cards, all just basic fat format, even reformated them all on the device itself. But nope, it just refuses to work for me!!!

Anyone got any suggestions or am I just doomed to internal memory only? :P

I'd REALLY like to be able to backup my device before trying new roms :(
