definietly alot has to do with bloatware and apps that constantly monitor and use ure data all the time, so even if u kill apps and there not listen in ure kill task, they appear all of a sudden and continue to use ure data. now rooting wont fix the problem bwecause u still have the bloatware but it does give u advantages, now flashing roms that have bloatware removed have been the best with battery save, specially if the ones that have the cpu sleep which helps alot with ure battery going down very fast.

Try FreeGS3, that is my personal favorite stock rom. AOSP? Try AOKP or CM10. Both are great!

That is covered. I got a replacement when that happened to my evo. The replacements are refurbished, but you can't really tell the difference between a refurb and new,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
I'm satisfied. I'd like Network Vision to go faster but I remember when Verizon did this same upgrade it took like 4 years and they tried to smooth it over with the "Can you hear me now?" ad campaign.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] swift2fly:
i'm fairly satisfied.

What i do not like:

Home button is not touch. Physical buttons have chances of wearing out. i like my old HTC desire and Sensation home buttons

My phone lags at times. I am rooted on ARHD ICS but i doubt it's the issue because it did the same when i was stock

The camera doesn't have all the features that i'm use to on my old HTC Sensation

design of the speaker is bad, When you put the phone with screen up the sound from the speaker is muffled

I do not like the crappy MTP/PTP feature. Samsung should just allow the Flash drive feature and keep that ish simple

Touchwiz launcher is crap. good thing i rooted and deleted it. NOVA prime is now my permanent default

I hate how i have to go to >settings>applications>nearby devices>clear cache, everytime i want to use DLNA. (i paid for a phone to fully work)

i dislike the fact that you can not fully customize the toggle, unless you are running AOSP/AOKP (i would run AOSP/AOKP but the camera sucks)

What i like:

I like the fact that my phone is rooted and set it up to use less physical buttons as possible. (having a seep2wake feature would be great)

i love the long lasting battery. Perfect for a smartphone like this

most important i love the fact that my wife bought me this phone for my birthday but too bad she's more of a commercial buyer, I think it would have been sweet if she bought me the HTC One X (save your comments, i tried both phones and a rooted HTC One X blows this phone away)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Practitioner:
i dont know what uve been smoking mate but ive tried both phones rooted and the HTC one X still could not out-performe the Galaxy S3, due to the fact tht it trottled alot more then the Gs3 and it would constaly lag alot.

It took me a month to decide to root it, that's how awesome this phone is. I was planning on keeping it stock but cm10 and aokp are just too awesome too let pass. As for the buttons I have had no problems although the home button took some getting used too coming from an epic touch. Overall loving it, wouldn't trade it for any other phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Practitioner:
Lolz yeah I read it but all I got was when u said.

I also have the Iphone5 in my possesion. My first ever owned apple product. And of course I didn't buy it! I won it in a raffle. And guess what....its nice and smooth...buttery...far superior than sgs3 running ICS tw.in terms of scroll/app performance.

So yeah lolz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cOmm_718:
On a scale of 1-10 I'd give it a 9. I can't give it a 10 just yet until Sprint rolls out LTE in my area.

The only problem I have is with sprint network.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] swift2fly:
i just realized i posted in the sprint forum. i tried the international HTC one x and my SGS3 is the international version. the US 2gb ram might be smoother but my friend's one x is running an aosp rom while im running ARHD. i can only speak about my experience...and my phone lags compared to his. an aosp rom may help but i rather not go that route.

cent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Practitioner:
even then the SG international shouldnt lag but if it does then that sucks, yeah and does 2 gigs of ram does help, makes the phone run smoother, much more stable.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] falconoble:
Asides from having TouchWiz I really haven't had much of a problem with it, stock or rooted. The mic does behave weird sometimes, though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ripley6:
Very satisfied. Touchwiz doesn't bother me, but did try Nova. Liked it and decided to buy, using it as my everyday launcher now. Like the new JB updates. Guess the one problem(well my problem) is I keep spending money on phone cases.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dbenney:
I get crazy battery life out of mine. I can finally make it through a whole day at work without having to recharge... this is with moderate use, mostly texting occasional email and call. I make it through about 12 hours and still have 30-40% left. That is pretty good in my eyes considering i am in a ****ty service area and constantly in and out of roam. I do however keep data turned off because its really not useable anyway. I do leave wi-fi and bluetooth on 24/7 though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
I have a long history with HTC and sense and I had grown used to it. My only previous experience with Samsung was the Instinct (awful). I looked at the Epic 4G before getting my Evo 4G. I liked the physical keyboard (since I was coming from the Touch Pro) but I hated what Samsung did to the android interface.

I am very happy with my S3. I was torn between the Evo LTE and the S3. I liked the removable battery of the S3 and the extra ram. I was worried that I would miss HTC sense and my previous look at Samsung made me hate Touchwiz.

I do not miss sense at all. The android experience on the S3 has been great for me. Moving from Gingerbread on the Evo to ICS on the S3 was a big enough change that I do not really notice what is Touchwiz. Samsung must have really toned down the Touchwiz on this phone.

At some point I may take a look at CM10 on the S3 so I can see what pure android looks like on the S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FunnySideUp:
I got this phone a week ago and have loved it since. A little jealous of the note 2 that just came out, but this phone still is sick. The screen used to feel gigantic but now it feels normal.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dbenney:
OMG... I forgot all about those days LOL... I still have mine in a drawer somewhere. What a POS now. The only thing that made me feel nervous about going samsung was the quickness at which samsung stopped supporting that device. I totally was against the way HTC went about the DEV unlock and voiding the warranty via serial number.

Love my S3!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
I am more than happy with my S3 love Touchwiz Samsung is my favorite when it comes to phones. And now with Jellybean even better. My battery life is amazing performance is wowed me love it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] potna:
I didn't like the new Android 3 buton thing at first but I got used to it.

The camera had locked up on me in burst mode more then once

What's up with this wierd way of handling a external sd card?

I hate the Samsung kb so I changed to swift.

Watch out for the voice stuff, but I have acidntly answered this phone from across the room by saying the wrong thing. But it was a fun little problem at the time.

I love the screen size and appearance. Good for movies or reading a book

I love the built in movie player. It plays everything even flvs. It also does this pnp type thing

Plays all high end games smoothly.

Audio is plenty loud and sounds good.

There's so many things this phone can do that I haven't even looked into all of them.

The biggest and maybe the only real problem is that I regret being stuck with the crappiest carrier of them all with sprints unlimited dial up network.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] .Bambino:
I have no issues with my phone and I am very pleased that I got the SG3 instead of the Evo. I do wish the design of the phone was better put together if I had to change or complain about anything. I don't like how the phone is so sleek. You can't sit it no where including your lap without some type of case on it because it will fall. It's a very slippery phone especially the back cover. Like I said that's if I had to choose anything. Other then that it's great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Notorious:
I have had no issues really with my sgs 3 coming from the original Evo. This things super fast and I use on screen buttons and volume wake so I never use the physical power and home button when using a rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rflieger:
Love the phone. I do wish the battery life was better; I know it can be addressed to some extent with ROMs and kernels, but it really should be better out of the box. This phone needs a huge battery like like Razor Maxx. The screen has amazing contrast, but the maximum brightness is too low and videos look "off" with the super saturated colors and overall lack of color accuracy (the day-glow look is great for apps and games but bad for movies, in my opinion). I found an app called screen adjuster that helps, but it reduces the contrast.

Also, I hate the fact that the glass tapers at the edges. It looks cool, but makes screen protectors lift at the edges. Never had this problem with perfectly flat screens.

Other than that, great phone.

I have had the same protector sense I bought it on launch day
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] va_hero:
Unfortunately I returned my S3 before my 14 day trial period. Sitting next to my wife and one of her friends at my son's martial arts studio. All 3 of us are on Sprint. My wife and her friend's iPhone 4 were easily surfing through facebook pictures while my S3 was constantly on "Loading". Both iPhones had 3 bars. My S3 had 0 to 1 bar of signal strength. I wanted to show off the great screen compared to my wife's. However, it was kind of embrassing when my beautiful screen was stuck on "Loading" for about a minute for each picture. So I returned it the other day. Still looking for a daily driver with good signal reception.

Haven't been able to find a fix for this. Wish there was because I loved the display of the S3.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
They have updated The S3 to jellybean I would give it another try. I had not bad but not good signal before the update , now I have great data speeds and good signal. Don't know if its a placebo or coincidence. I love my S3 and it is nice to show off from time to time. Lol

Hi

I was having auto rotation problem since a long time.

When I used to rotate the phone..The screen did not rotate..And to rotate I had to hit it/shake it hard/be rude to my note..And then it used to rotate..

Getting back to portrait also needed the same efforts..

Tried various ROMs..Had the same problem..

Thought I have a problem with my hardware..As my phone has fallen approx 10times+

Today,I incidently tried callibration..

And recallibration totally solved my problem.. Yoo :victory:

Just go to settings->display->horizontal callibration

And settings->display->gyroscope callibration :good::good:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] user28:
Hi,

I am on a rooted stock rom DDLF2. Couple of weeks i am observing high battery drain though none of the apps are running. I dont put any fancy live wall papers or widgets. I have stopped all the background apps like google play, maps etc and Background data unchecked. I always us GSM only and do not use any wifi or data network. Screen brightness is at around 15%. I use the phone very less hardly get around 5 to 6 calls in a day lasting 1 or 2 mins per call. If i charge the phone fully to 100%, after 8 to 9 hours the battery is coming down to 30%. After it comes down to 15% the lock screen shows it is charging with the percent symbol even though it is not connected to the charger.

I tried resetting the phone, cleared the dalvik cache and the cache partition but no use. I suspect this is a software bug.

Has anybody faced similar problem? Any solution would be much helpful. :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ajayclk:
I am also facing the same problem.. can anybody plz help??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kishankpadiyar:
Have u tried clearing battery stats..?

Do it once. then charge your phone to 100%.. allow it to discharge it to 20%..

Again repeat the cycle for 3-4 times..

this should solve the problem hopefully..:)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] user28:
Yes i already tried it. Cleared the battery stats. But did not solve the problem. Surprisingly the moment battery charge drops to 15% it starts showing the line "Charging (15%)" on the lock screen even the charger is not connected to the phone. Not sure what is wrong.

So i am thinking of downgrading the version. Can anybody suggest me any good stable stock rom which can be used for India (since i am in India) particularly with good battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] icephatom:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] emptyragnarok:

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] emptyragnarok:
Even i was feeling that phone's battery is dead, but trust me, I reverted back to DDKP3, and installed BAM kernel .. I find battery backup much improved, I have kept GPRS on for 5 hours now ..11% battery drained. On the LF2 ( for india without BAM ) and on the ICS drain was huge.. like in 6 hours i have seen drain more than 45%

I have even bought new battery also.. but testing on Old battery only.. You can try combo of DDKP3+ BAM or DDKP3+titanium!.

Update

It's 8 hours 11 mins, GPRS on since phone was charged to 100%, battery is drained to 86% ( 14% drained) Display On for 7 mins 21 seconds!

It seems like my old battery is still well and can work!

Thanks for all your responses.

@emptyragnarok -- DDKP3, do u mean the Build Number: Gingerebread.DDKP3 or the Baseband version -I9003DDKP3 ? Can u please clarify?

Also i need two things for the downgrade;

1) Any posts or links which describes the procedure of downgrading in detail

2) Links on how to flash the other kernels like BAM etc and reverting back to stock if needed.

Thanks. :)

All your responses proved that i am not alone. All your responses made me feel confident that I can still use the device and solve the problem.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ApexPredatorBoids:
Assuming you flashed one of the newest versions of CM10, it converted your filesystem to MTD. CM9 doesn't support MTD. Your only options are to either re-flash CM10, or go completely back to stock and start again. If Odin isn't working for you, there's always Heimdall.

Apex and stingdude are both right. Go to stock or just re-flash CM10. If you want, flash to CM10 then flash another JB ROM.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] promega:
deep thoughts

I am running on a rooted sprint samsung S3, the app continues to show::

iwconfig:

Unknown id: wlan0.

when I select 4dBm, there is no indication it worked. In terminal I run iwconfig, and it shows that the setting took effect! My stock power is 1496, which seems to be my max. Selecting 11dbm works, but 18, 25 and 32 do not. I am guessing my wifi adapter will not allow anything over 1496.

If I had iw and ifconfig on my device I could try this to force a higher speed:

ifconfig wlan0 down

iw reg set BO<--------------is an o not a 0

ifconfig wlan0 up

iwconfig wlan0 channel 13

iwconfig wlan0 txpower 30

any suggestions how to pull this off.. I can install this on a debian destro, but there's no point to that... if I can get the iw and ifconfig on my andriod OS, maybe I can force it higher than 1496...

This is great, thank you.

Unfortunately, when I followed all the instructions, got the iwconfig file from this thread, renamed it, successfully put it into system/xbin/, and then ran "iwconfig wlan0 txpower 2dBm" and then "iwconfig wlan0" the tx-power level is unchanged. It is still listed as 19 dBm. There's no error message.

Any ideas?

Does the "iwconfig [interface] txpower" command need to be run in a certain manner for it to have effect?

---------- Post added at 11:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:46 AM ----------

Answering my own question:

You see this error because android doesnt want you to run old binaries on new version of system (as google explains, if I got the idea correctly)

To rebuild the binaries for new system is pretty complicated, so you can just fool the system by changing 17th byte in current (not working) binary file

Open some hex editor (online version for example: hexed.it), find the 17th byte (counting from 1, as humans do) and change it from 02 to 03

This byte (as I now see) is the first byte on 2nd string in the hex editor :)

Good luck
