[Galaxy Note II General] Milkman00:
Interesting. I am REALLY killing myself staring at pictures of these phones. I have a Samsung Epic 4G (not the Touch), and am dying with this archaic phone.

Anyway I find it interesting that your source says that AT&T is releasing the phone in late September since this week is as late as late September can get, and we haven't heard the smallest hint of this happening.

I am with Sprint, and although my contract expires October 15th, I think that I would only have to pay a prorated ETF, and this may be the best reason that I could have to go to AT&T.
[Galaxy Note II General] kyan~:
yeah. he DOES work for samsung, no doubt about that, but who knows? :)
[Galaxy Note II General] Milkman00:
Yeah, I would think this is ultimately up to AT&T, but like you said, who knows.

Anyway, I just called Sprint, and they told me I would have no ETF, so if this does get released this week, I may become a AT&T customer! :)
[Galaxy Note II General] shook187:
No way this phone gets released this week. We could all dream on. I'm guessing 10/21 sounds right. I just hope it isn't in November, cause I just sold my GS3 while the resale value is still high. It would suck to have to wait 2 months while using a OG epic for a phone.

Hi guys,

Today I had to pick up a new phone. So I got a good price on a galaxy s gt i9000.

Can someone help me please.

Hello everyone, I'm just posting about my experience with the iphone 5. I bought a white one on the release date and put my trusty S3 in a drawer for a back up. We'll I didn't even last three days before I ran back to At&t and got my S3 reactivated. The iphone is nice and all that but it's too simple for my taste, I need to be able to do what I want when I want and I felt severely handicapped with the iphone 5. Not saying it's a bad phone but it's definitely not for me. Anyone else had a similar experience?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g2tegg:
Not too many Android users are willing to sink that kind of coin for a phone to simply try it out. Especially in this forum since we have the latest Samsung phone. Good to see you come back. I personally could never go back to Apple. Just sucks because I own a Apple TV and MacBook Pro. Apples ecosystem is great. Wish Google got with the times when it comes to cross platform support. More specifically I miss air play, ability to control all my home media with my phone etc.

And I know dlna/all cast is available but Google needs to implement something in their next OS that smokes Apples.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] knightblaze:
I've done both android and iphone in the past. I got my wife the iPhone 5 and I do like it. I had the 4 and while it's not a huge leap in design and features the improvements are nice and it is a very smooth experience.

And for some reason it's wicked fast on the net. I like my sgs3 but don't see a fault with the iPhone 5. Phones are phones and each one brings something unique to a user
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] yidan82:
I'm in the same boat as far as the Apple tv and macbook so I can understand where you're coming from. I might just keep it as a backup phone in case something happens to my S3...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] itsalexaye90:

How has your battery life been so far?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ehaze:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
I've been reading nothing but bad reviews from customers about the battery life of iphone 5. Yeah, all these main sites are comparing the battery life with the RAZOR MAXX but then in the comments section people are always complaining saying the claims aren't true.

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/09/20/iphone-5-battery-life-reviews/

I'm guessing the people having the short battery life are running the phone a lot with LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aimetti:
User error

I have an ATT gs3 and also the iphone 5 im testing out. The iphone 5 has amazing battery life. Was able to get 14 hours of standby and 9 hours 30 min of usage out of it yesterday with 21% remaining for the day. And its suppose to be the same battery life as the chip is the same one powering both.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iosandroid:
Yes, sort of.

I switched to the GS3 from a 4S about three months ago. Took a bit of adjusting to say the least. I held on to the 4S for almost a month before I sold it, thinking it was enough to wean off of iOS. I now definitely prefer the S3 for general device usage, but I miss the many apps I'd purchased on the Apple app store for the past three years, so I started looking for deals on used 4S. On iPhone 5 launch day I bought a like new 4S from a guy who just upgraded to the 5, for half of what I sold my 4S for couple months back lol. Now I can switch between them as I please.

Other than some of the apps I'm missing, it's kind of hard to go back. I think Apple is too far in the simplicity end of the scale. Just an example, iPhone gives you ZERO ability to change anything on the camera, not even change to a lower resolution. S3, never mind that I can adjust things like metering method and ISO sensitivity, I can put those control shortcuts right on the screen.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GeekyKitty:
Do you have an absolutely ridiculous amount of spare money or something? :eek:

You could have just given me $700 and I'd have told you the iPhone is poop.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vdub804:
The battery life is far from stellar and it still doesn't have widgets among other things I'm just not impressed with it.the new maps suck I had to create a new account for the App Store just to download YouTube and it forces you to add your credit card info before you can even download free apps ill never get of my s3 for the i5 it's just less of a phone IMHO View attachment 1350988
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
Sweet good to know, my gf is getting one once her contract is up. Galaxy S3 does a great job with battery life when you consider the much larger/brighter screen as well as the widgets and number of processes it has running compared to the iphone 5. I couldn't leave to switch to the iphone 5, way too many features lost and I'm spoiled with the bigger screen. iPhone 5 is marketed towards simplicity for the older generation transitioning to smart phones and people who don't like to mess around with their phone too much. Multitasking is absolutely terrible with the iphone, but the ios6 Siri is pretty cool I must say. Great improvement there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] skew:
I have both s3 and ip5. Been switching between them depending where I go because I don't have a case yet for the ip5 so I have been carefull with it. Both are great phones. My biggest complaint is you can't change the black background menus and white text on the s3. I almost throw my s3 at the pavement everytime I get a call outside in the daylight. I have to cover the screen with both hands just to see who is callng! With the ip5 I can see it easily even with sunglasses because it has white backgrounds and black text. Everyone talks about how customizable android phones are but this simple change to invert the color scheme is near impossible to do. Im just going to keep the s3 around to play with but the ip5 is going to be my daily driver.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TBayTom:
Yeah, it's a little hard to read. If you have auto brightness enabled, it should make it a lot easier to read. As for white backgrounds, there's got to be a white theme out there you can apply to your GS3 to make it easier to read.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] itsalexaye90:
auto brightness doesn't do much to battery life though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] werked:
I played around with the ip5 today and threw everything I had at it.... That thing is crazy fast. Couldn't believe it really, speed test made me walk away with a tear. I'm excited for the day android gives me loads more speed w/ everything else I get with this os. Speed w/ ip5 not enough to make me leave.... The screen although a size upgrade for the ip is so damn tiny, could never get used to that.

I was pretty amazed by it.

I now have the sgs3. Rooted, modded, kernel,radio.

Some people just want a phone that works how it worked last week no changes.

This S3 is the best phone I've ever owned. I'm loving the huge screen and Super SAmoled display. I contimplated getting IP5 but glad I didn't. This S3 is like a smaller version of my Nexus 7. But with a better display. I wanted the Note phone but S3 has better specs. Loving the Phablet scene. S3 rules!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] megagodx:
Some aspects of the iPhone 5 are better.

Better CPU, GPU, better screen brightness and faster connection speeds.

Galaxy S III is more customizable, better looking screen, more optimal screen resolution and more battery life. Those are the primary highlights anyway.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ChardC:
Have you tried checking the permissions of the audio files? Depending on your file/folder app (eg. es explorer), enable the option under settings for root browsing and then go to /system/media/audio/* look for your text ring tone in the notification folder and check the permissions. The audio files themselves should have a permission of user: rw, group: r, other: r. In addition the file type should be similar to those already in the directory (eg. Ogg).

I'm on a S3 though so hopefully android setup should be similar.

I have the chance to buy a sgs. Could I unlock it and have it work on Verizon's network? The sellers insists it could with the right APNs. Can any one enlighten me?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
If the phone is manufactured for Verizon, like it says verizon on the device, then yes it will. However, if its a T-Mobile or ATT SGS3, then NO it wont work. ATT and T-Mobile SGS3 doesnt have CDMA bands.

If its a sprint SGS3, then yes you can unlock it to work on Verizon. Hope that clarifies things for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] maguilar3:
It doesn't have the right 4g bands?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
No the T-Mobile and att phones don't have any cdma bands at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cybertang:
That is correct there is complete incompatibility between the carriers cdma vs. gsm, CDMA is more frequently used here in the us its a older technology and GSM is more world wide the only phone i really seen that carries both bands are the iphone 4s

Thanks for your info guys
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OvaHex:
Any phone that sports the "global" tag will work on any carrier. Such as the "Droid 2 Global" and I believe that there is actually a worldwide variation of the htc one x or one s as well.

Google is your best bet.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elesbb:
I heard the Verizon S3 is supposed to be "Global" however, remember that T-Mobile is special and uses that 1700 mHz aws frequency for 3g therefore global phones wont get 3g on tmobile. Like my Sprint Touch Pro 2 for instance :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
The only "global" phones that have CDMA bands are Verizon and Sprint phones in the US.

Why would a GSM carrier put GSM bands in their phone when you can use a GSM phone overseas already?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OvaHex:
I'm not talking about overseas, I'm telling the op a global phone would work on any carrier...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
But they won't. A global phone from AT&T or T-Mobile will not work on Verizon or Sprint. A Verizon or Sprint global phone is also not likely as the other carriers will not activate it. However it is much more likely.

Sent from my SGH-T999
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] OvaHex:
I hate to burst your bubble, but your most definitely wrong. Most Gsm phones for the United States will not work overseas, its just the "name" of the US network. CDMA works transparently with TDMA. If you know anything about APNs and cat radios then you'll be able to figure it out.

I have personally cracked verizon for AT&T and vice versa.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
So I can use a UK phone here, but I can't use an unlocked AT&T phone in the UK? That makes no sense. So why do people overseas buy unlocked phones from the US? So they can use them for paperweights?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Beemer533:
The difference between GSM here in NA vs the rest of the world is the frequencies used:

Most of NA and SA use 850/1900 while the majority of the planet uses 900/1800. http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

So if you want to use a phone from the US overseas it must be at least Triband or quadband (more common).

For 3G to work outside the US the phone will also need the 2100 band.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] theking_13:
Lol, GSM phones can be used worldwide. The only real big place that uses CDMA bands is inside the USA, almost everywhere else is straight GSM. Funny how people buy US phones from overseas, and never once have complained that they don't work. But I'll definitely take your word for it. :rolleyes:

But since you supposedly can make an AT&T phone work on Verizon, mind getting me a Galaxy Note that works on Verizon? Unless of course its not possible, which its not.

I had 3 or 4 of these for my 4S, and while they're not the greatest cases in the world, they fit pretty darn good and for the price, you really can't complain. They're not going to offer much in the way of drop protection, because they're really thin, but they look good and the grooves on the sides do provide good grip. I also liked the matte texture.

I'm just glad to see some of these case companies that used to be iPhone-only are starting to make things for the SIII. That should tell you how popular it is. Now, if only Power Support would start making their anti-glare screen protectors for the SIII, life would be grand!
