I agree with you about Apple's build quality - - it is very good. However, I'm perfectly happy with the build quality of my S3 as well. As for fragmentation, I have to laugh. Just because different gen iPhones run the same iOS version doesn't mean Apple enables all features for all phones. iOS is becoming very fragmented, they just disguise it better than Android.

And even the new iPhone has a tiny screen. My wife will get the new iPhone, but I'd never consider switching back after having used Android for the last 18 months.

here's a cookie, see you back here in 3 months trying to trade for a sgs3 your iPhone5+ cash.

Seriously though, I couldn't ever go back to Apple, such a non innovative, non inspiring and an over all industry stifling company. I will never again give money to a company that so blatantly tries to monopolize and harm consumer availability. Within every industry, competing companies still manage to maintain cooperative competition and all thrive, most importantly, the consumer. Apple doesn't care about consumer choice, they don't even give their customers the ability to fully access their phones, nor do you even own anything you buy from iTunes. All Apple wants to do is sell their phones to the most people possible, while keeping a fist around all content, hardware and software... I can't, in good conscience, give any more of my money to a company with a business model that is designed to screw the consumer.

But, I'll buy your sgs3 for $300... I'll even throw you a bone and sell it back to you for$400 in 3 months when you want it back :D jk

Well I'm even worse! I'm selling my galaxy s3 tomorrow and getting an iPhone 4s lol. My sis is giving me a new 4s for free and my ONLY reason for getting rid of s3 is build quality. I always buy off line and could get insurance etc but with these cracks it's doing my nut in. I have dropped my phone once but the cracks were there 3 weeks before drop. I like my stuff looking good and this phone is made from crap. So wish I kept my s2 :( that phone was cheap but it was a soldier. Gs3 screen breaks £169 min iPhone 4s £30 hmmmm

You have to give it to Apple, the build quality is very good. You can tell they put allot of thought in it. Slap the S3 in the iphone design but just larger to support our 4.xx" screen and you got the best phone ever.

The iPhone is a great product for people who aren't tech savvy. It's very very locked down so that nothing can go wrong. It certainly has it's place with the people like my mom who just want a phone that allows for email. I think the same thing about BlackBerry. My completely stock S3 is buggy as all hell. The gyroscope has to be re-calibrated often and the battery trips out. I know how to fix these issues; my mother wouldn't even know how to calibrate the gyroscope. That said I cannot conscienceless buy a product that I thoroughly believe is built with slave labor. Too many people have "killed themselves" because "they weren't happy with their jobs." There's something seriously wrong there. And Apple has $100 billion in cash (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/19/apple-announces-plans-for-cash_n_1362212.html) because this whole time they haven't been paying much on production. That's what horse **** trickle down economics is. The rich get richer, and the consumers get further into debt buying stuff they don't need. It's your money so you do what you want; but if I found out Samsung was building their products in the same place (and they could be) and that they were financially capable of building elsewhere or demanding better pay for workers, then I wouldn't buy another product from them either. That said does anyone know where Samsung is building their equipment?

I'm sorry to all Apple fans but I truly feel the iPhone 5 is a complete failure. The updates are all features we have had on Android phones for years. A bigger screen, LTE, and hey our very own Maps/Navigation (LOL). But the build quality, I have to hand it to Apple the 5 looks, cute. But everything else makes me fall asleep. And to those 4S owners that feel the 5 isn't worth the upgrade

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AngelsNecropolis:
It's not a superior phone. The physical build quality may be better but for these phones you'll most likely be buying a case which renders that a mute point. And even without a case I've not read articles talking about the GS2 or 3 falling apart. If you just want to be part of the Apple "culture" then no one can stop you because that's not really a rational arguing point. It's like saying I want an ip5 so I can be one of the "hip" kids.

Everyone I know that runs the worthless iphone are the same idiots who can not install win 7 on their pc. The iPhone is nothing but a phone that is totally IDIOT proof, that is why the sales is so high, it takes a little more brains to figure out android. Its like comparing windows to linux. I would much rather run linux than windows, the iPhone people are people who don't know sh** about how the phone operates or what it's capable of.

Coming from a iPhone 4 to the sgs3 was the best decision I ever made. I can customize to my heart's content, change ringtones download stuff without having to ask permission etc etc. Looking at a friends iphone 4s I don't know how I managed with such a dull ugly display!

IPhone's are just there because their easy, and aesthetically pleasing, so dumbasses will buy them even though they were out of date last year. That's why apple sued Samsung, cos in the long term they haven't a chance and need to keep that stockpile of money up!

I am using the S3 as well, but switching back to iPhone as well, I just like it more, the phone just works better overall

other than the battery life and built quality

the one thing i dont like about android, is all the heavily customized version made by these companies .....

yes the S3 has more functions listed, but half of those are from TOUCH WIZ, not from android itself .......

if you decide to use any other email/txt client other than original, most of the functions there will be unusable

just one example ..... i know there is a motion feature, when you are checking emails on the DEFAULT app, and you tap the top of the device, it will scroll back up to the top, why does this only works in email, and not the browser, or any other apps for that matter

just imo ....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AngelsNecropolis:
Compared to the previous iphone I wouldn't say it's a failure. But it's certainly no game changer to the smart phone market. It feels like apple is trying to plan catchup to Samsung now. Soon the Note 2 will be out and with that and the GS3 on the market Apple will once again be in the back seat. And Apple removed Google maps and nav and have implemented their own maps now. I remember hearing something about YouTube being different too but don't recall what. No idea how their map service compares though.

If Google did all this, then we should just call Google...well apple lol. and tell lg, Samsung, Sony, and all the other phone manufacturing companies to go f themselves. Android allows manufacturers to do their own thing so everything is different. The phones will look different from software to hardware and that's what will win when it comes down to it.

From the mind of a former iOS lover (was with the platform since its birth up until 2 months ago), hands down, the 3rd party apps and games are far better on iOS than on Android. By the numbers, Android is a joke when it comes to 3rd party apps.

After all the customization, ROMs and theming are said and done in the Android world, we are left with what most aesthetically and functionally inclined developers and designers would consider to be garbage.

Simply put, in comparison, the Android ecosystem is dry and bland.

Hey guys, just ordered a car mount for my S3 and I've been reading that when the phone is docked, S-Voice turns on automatically. Is there a way to disable this functionality? I also read somewhere that freezing S-Voice will make bluetooth work incorrectly so not sure if that's true or if there's a way around it.

Also, do any custom ROMs support dock audio? I've read that CM10 doesn't support it yet.

Hi guys

I'm using the amazing rom which called Paranoidandroid 2.12 and when I'm trying to edit and arrange the icons on the menu (not on homescreen) and even creating a new folder it's impossible .. tried using nova & apex launchers and it doesn't work either .. is there any way to do that ?

Thanks,

Moshe
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosdefinesorder:
What you are referring to is the App Drawer, not the "menu" (big difference!).

Creating folders and rearranging the program icons within the App Drawer is something that is specific to Samsung's TouchWiz launcher, and as such is something that you can't do in Apex or Nova.

What you can do, however, is set up the top headers to be pseudo-folders. Currently it should say something like "apps" and "downloaded" and "widgets" or similar. With the paid-for Apex Pro (I know Nova does the same, but I am unfamiliar with the launcher and the corresponding process) you can customise those headings. On mine, for example, I have the headers set to "Programs" (I HATE the phrase "Apps"), "Tools" and "Games" with the widgets list disabled.

So, if you are after folders, and can make do with only three folders (the widgets section is redundant as long as you can add a widget to your homescreen with long-press) then you can do that with Apex Pro.

Unfortunately, there USED to be a thread in the apps section for the JB GSIII Touchwiz launcher for CyanogenMod 10, but for some reason I can't find it anymore to link it to you...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mosheg91:
so, arranging the icons on the menu like on ics (not on the homescreen) not available on jb ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaosdefinesorder:
you still mean the App drawer, not the menu! The menu is the text list that appears when you press the left capacitive button on the phone or the three dots in apps. The App Drawer is the full list of all programs you have installed on your phone with icons. The two are very different, please refer to the correct thing as it's very confusing otherwise!

anyway, as luck would have it, I've found the thread for Touchwiz on CM10: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1854826

If you install this then you will be able to do everything that you remember and require from stock Galaxy Note ROMs including folders in the app drawer.

As another clarification for you, ICS and JB are not the problem for you. When you say ICS you mean the stock Samsung Galaxy Note ICS Touchwiz based ROM, and when you say JB you mean Paranoid Android 2.12 CyanogenMod 10 based ROM. Those last bits are crucial. Apex runs on ICS just find and you still can't do the folder thing that you want to do with Apex on ICS. Only Touchwiz - regardless of Android version - can do the folders and rearranging of icons in the app drawer.
