[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yeah I know, I tried 4.1 before I left with the rosie smoothness tweaks and all of that jazz. And yes, it made it much better. But the phone still felt slower than it should have been in general. Opening apps, general performance, etc.

All that being said, I am super happy with the S3 and don't regret dumping the Rezound at all.

HTC and Samsung are using Qualcomm radios...

From my T-Mobile Galaxy S III in HD
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Serinety:
Here I state that "take both side by side for a month", compare calls and navigation.

Later I say "use both phones for a month"

The idea behind my offer was for someone to use both phones, at the same time, for a month, doing each thing you do each day on both phones and comparing the results. Obviously (or perhaps not so obvious to you) there would need to be some kind of documentation of your experiences. For example, GPS lock times in the city, navigation accuracy while in the city (when you stop at a stop light, does your direction the phone thinks you are facing change) does the navigation infrequently "re route" based on these inaccuracies?

compare signal strength, for example. Go to a fringe area, compare data throughput on both phones, 3g/4g switching..

you know, a real comparison. If you wanted to do that, and work within the constraints that I set forth, then send me the results that show the gs3 had better reception and GPS performance than the rezound, I will send $100 your way.

Im confident that the HTC would win. Within my family and friend circle, 4 of us have GS3s, and my wife, brother, friends wife, sister, sisters husband, and my moms husband (not my dad) all have rezounds. We take trips together, we do things together, its easy to see the performance differences.

At my dads house, there is no internet (he doesn't have cable, dsl, or even a phone line) and we have to rely on our cell phones for internet. I frequently bring my laptop due to the work I do. When I have HTC phones, I get a solid 4g signal, I can browse, download.. even make voip calls over vonage.

It does not work on the GS3, the GS3 frequently 3g/4g switches or drops all together. I spend more time toggling airplane mode to try and force 4g than doing any work.

I would be more than happy to record my results to show you im not just full of ****. My wife and I are going over there later today, and my sister will be there.. so we will have 2 GS3's and 2 Rezounds. Simple speed tests should suffice, though I could download some large files and record their completion percentage and average time to download.

If the 4g signal is strong, the GS3 and the rezound will perform the same, if there is clear view of the sky, the GS3 and the rezound will navigate the same. It is when you are in low signal areas, or low sky visibility that the rezound (or HTC devices) really shine. Outside of that constraint, you will likely not see a measurable difference.

When I say the HTC has better reception in both signal and GPS, I am referring to these situations in which low signal is a factor. Like camping in the Sierra Nnevada mountains where signal is hard to find, or navigating in downtown San Francisco where the buildings block 80% of the sky. In both of these situations, and in the fringe areas like my dads house, we use the HTC devices to get **** done.

I still OWN a gs3, i still LOVE the gs3, but that doesn't mean I won't concede that the radios are better in HTC devices.

IF you are willing to do those things, then sure!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luis86dr:
Their both great phones. Honestly, I get great coverage on both devices. Yes, the Samsung radios seem to be a downgrade compared to the Rezound. I don't think it's a matter of the radio being better, it's a matter of the design of the Rezound. The contacts for the Rezound are on the back cover, hence less interference, which the end result would be better coverage. Still, their both two amazing devices and are unique in their own way. My two cents... :p

You'll never give me a $100 regardless of what I do. I just thought it was funny how you completely disappeared until someone finally agreed with you like a week later if not longer....and you were posting on other Rezound threads in that time.

I've got enough experience with HTC since I was a loyal consumer. These new rules that you've put into place are pointless because I have the option to use either phone and guess what, I'm using the S3. I've got no complaints and this phone out performs my Rezound on every level. I won't argue that the Radios might not be as good but not based on my experience. I won't argue it because there are enough complaints to respect it as problem.

The S3 forums are not riddled with people *****ing about their phone like the Rezound forums and there are a lot less Rezounds out there. The Majority of people on her that have switched will never look back and like me will probably never buy another HTC phone again. Like you, I have to have the best when I have the opportunity to upgrade.... I have the best and that is based on my actual experience.

Currently not being productive on my S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ercDROID:
I didn't seem to see much improvement with the ota modem but the leaked HD modem showed some improvement. Signal strength is maybe better by 1-2 dBm.....maybe but I was able to make calls with no drops in areas where I always dropped with this phone. A step in the right direction!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Serinety:
I'm a Senior Electrical Engineer at a Major University. Today is Saturday, no school. Also I was not subscribed to this thread.

At any rate, I agree that the gs3 is better. I just wish the radio was better
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] leroybrute:
They have the same radio hardware, but antenna placement and software make the differences with connectivity and call quality.

Some of these threads remind me of having kids. Your kid is a 240 pound profesional football player and has 6 years of college. But my kid is a 110 pound kid that never played sports and dropped out of grade school but I swear my kid can do anything as well if not better than your kid can.

For christmas sake the reception between the big three from Verizon goes like this, Rezound is a hair better than the Maxx, and the GS3 as usual doesn't compare to either Rezound or Razr. I have a son and several friends that live in different areas that have a cell phone addiction as I that agree completely. Unless the web and forums are wrong, the GS3 has signal issues on Verizon.

My GS3 is my daily driver, My Maxx is my backup when I need signal or my battery is getting low with my GS3. Just sold the last Rezound out of the 4 we started out with.

Man I would love to have a 100 bucks to prove the GS3 could outperform the Rezound or even the Razr with reception but that will never happen.

The GS3 is my favorite toy by far though until I decide on the next big boy!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Serinety:
Being as I am now using a gs3 as my daily, i wish I could pay out too lol

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
OK, though I only lose 4G in very specific spots and various, big metal-framed stores across three states with my Galaxy S III. Same results for our other GS3.

No big deal, then. I'm not sure how many folks need to take pictures while on the phone, but since it's only the stock TouchWiz ICS app with this limitation, that doesn't seem a hardship.

Depends on which device hooks up to the Galaxy S III AUX port, apparently.

I've never had GPS lock issue on the Galaxy S III, especially in comparison to our prior Droid Incredible and Incredible 2.

I use the motion controls daily, such as calling a contact when I lift the phone to my ear. The movement recognition keeps my phone from going into screen saver mode when reading the phone without touching, which is a huge convenience for me. TouchWiz is light and neat, don't miss Sense at all - on my Incredible, my favorite ROM was Sense-less and it took about one week to fully adjust and have fully functional widgets + layout on the phone again. I didn't know anything but Sense until trying other ROMs out, and found it was just a neat layer (but, on the Incredibles, a laggy one).

Of course, I also share photos and contacts with my spouse by clicking our phones together, and she's done the same with co-workers who bought the same Galaxy S III - not all from Verizon (i.e., ubiquity of the model across is a plus for sharing, as well).

I'll use Google Wallet when Verizon stops its anti-competitive practice of keeping it from being installed on our phones from Play.

Neither of us have been unable to make a clear call with our new Samsung phones, though a few times in the past months the call started out highly choppy and we needed to redial - this has happened before we got Samsungs, so it's a Verizon network issue, I believe.

That adds security and is not a bad thing, so I don't see an automatic "fail". Still, I don't recall my WiFi tethering app requiring a password, but use one anyway.

I honestly see that as a bit esoteric, considering the reports across phones of people losing battery while USB tethering a laptop (i.e., a fair number of laptop USB ports don't put out enough juice to do both of what you desire - especially if not using A/C).

Er, that goes highly counter to my experience: the Rezound's smaller screen is muted compared to our vivid Galaxy S IIIs, despite the former having higher pixel density. Conversely, the Rezound's picture colors look like a Sony camera on a bad day vs a something more akin to neutral Nikon-like colouring from my Galaxy S III. HD video is far more smooth on my Samsung than any HTC I've owned or used.

Why are you raving against it . . . in a Galaxy S III forum? Despite having some issues, we were happy Droid Incredible and Incredible 2 owners, but feel no need to go into this forum and try our darnedest to put Galaxy S IIIs down in comparison to our old phones.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] j0hnZ:
Rezound's suck, I got that phone when I first came to Verizon. My choices were galaxy nexus or rezound. The razr didn't have any compelling qualities other than the screen, but the resolution wasn't there. I hated vanilla android, so I chose the rezound. I spent the next 5 months wanting to throw it at a brick wall. The screen sucks, obviously it's an HTC. Sense is ugly, and so are the hundreds of fake glass looking themes out there. The sensitivity of the screen is crap as well. I never thought about jumping ship from android until I had that HTC device. Even worse than simply the crappy look and feel were the s-off requirements.

Oh and I still have the rezound my 10 year old uses it...the hand me down of last years crap. He's just happy he can play angry birds on it.

Coming from a Rezound myself I was expecting poor reception like everyone is complaining about. However, I have been experiencing the opposite.. great reception everywhere I am.

At my apartment on the 3rd floor I have 5 bars, and at my desk on the 5th floor at work I have 4 bars. This is pretty much exactly what I was getting with the Rezound. Maybe Austin just has more towers than some of the cities you guys are in *shrug*

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nekkidtruth:
Just wanted to say it was a pleasure owning a Skyrocket and although I may not have participated much directly, I read the forums every single day. Sadly on Friday, my Skyrocket fell out of my pocket and in the 20-30 seconds it took me to notice, someone had picked it up and swiped it. Since the Skyrocket and the S3 are priced the same with my provider, I decided to upgrade (totally debatable!).

So, I'll still be around XDA and will probably still read the Skyrocket forums at times, but I wanted to say thank you to all the developers on this side and please keep up the good work! The Skyrocket is one of the best Galaxy's I've owned and I'm sure it'll be around for a lot longer than most with this community!

I've been on CM10 for almost a month now.

Being trying out custom kernels,(only for the 720p patch)but I keep on getting random SODs.(same was the case with ICS and custom kernels)

I scenario which always gives me one is when i switch on Wi-Fi,and the screen times out and locks itself,I am unable to wake up the phone.I have to pull out the battery and do a restart.

Same thing happens even after I switch off Wi-Fi and screen locks itself.

No OC-UV.

Deep Idle On(which I read might be the root cause,switched it off now)

Tried Devil3_1.3.1,Devil3_1.4.1 and Mackay 0.56 .. so far getting them in all.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Steve5400:
I have been reading about these updates and I am curious about some things.

Sorry if I come off a bit noobish here. I am frustrated by the inability for the phone to pick up an lte signal on its own (without me changing from CDMA/evdo to CDMA/evdo/lte or turning on airplane mode.)

I am thinking from what I've read that the new baseband addresses this problem. Since I am on hboot 1.15, I would need to unroot to get this and then reroot again if I'm not mistaken. Or would flashing a stock ROM with the 2.13.651 give me that even though it does not show a change in my baseband?

I love the phone and the ROMs that are available on it, I just wish lte was easier to keep.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
Welcome to the forums!

The radios are supposed to have improvements with picking up and holding an LTE signal. However, in my experiences new radios don't really ever help all that much.

Since you are on h-boot 1.15 you would have to unroot and either OTA or RUU to get them. Be aware that they may find an S-OFF for h-boot 1.15. Accepting the OTA or taking the RUU will bump you up to 1.19
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PuRE IVIonztah:
No don't unroot. Just simply flash a stock rooted 2.13 Rom and flash New firmware through recovery. Don't think you can with 1.15hboot ill have to check.. but don't waste your time and effort. Simply dl and rooted stock/custom 2.13 Rom and you'll be fine

Google wallet launches, but when it asks me to link a Google account, it gives me the error above.

I tried searching for a solution but couldn't find one. Maybe because I'm on my phone. Could someone point me in the right direction? Or does this app not work with modded devices?
