I recently received a CLN GS3 as a replacement phone for my Galaxy Nexus. They agreed to send me a 32GB model. I received it and under the battery on the sticker it does indeed say "WHITE 32GB". So then why would there be only 11.95GB total available? Do I need to format it or something? Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Thanks,

A confused GS3 owner

Get the above app and check out your storage

Pretty simple if its an important file it wont let u delete that file
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Balsta:
Says 12335mb total
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
You need to Odin the stock Rom with while using a.pit file. If that does not work it's jacked up and you gotta send it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Balsta:
Yeah I was hoping not to have to send it back since I've heard some bad things and gotten some pretty horrible CLN devices as replacements before. This one doesn't have any issues other that the storage size and it gets really hot.

Anyway, what's this pit file?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I have read in the rezound forums of people receiving 16gig versions that were marked as 32 and were suppose to be 32. You will probably need to send it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] manojcitc:
Yup its 16 gb version,send it back for replacement...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
You got a free GS3. Don't be picky. Plus, my friend is on replacement #8 so you roll the dice big time asking for a new one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shojus:
I'm on my 4th replacement and I think they might have finally got it right this time but if they told him they were going to send him the 32gb version (which would match the storage size of his Nexus) then they should def be sending him the right one... I've heard of several people that have got to choose a new phone but they sure didn't offer me that when I went through about a million Nexus's... LOL I admit that I am picky when it comes to replacement phones but when they get paid every month and I pay an "out of contract" price for a new phone than they should be sending me a replacement that does not have scratches all over it... I guess it all depends on who you talk to... :fingers-crossed:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
He can get a 32GB microSD for like $20 bucks. Getting into a replacement loop is not worth the risk lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Balsta:
Yeah I was considering it, the only other real problem with it is that it gets super hot with even light use.

Do any of yours do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
thats not good.

My friends bad ones have been run hot, scratched to hell, no wifi, can't keep 3g signal, run hot, no vibrator, etc
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Balsta:
So you think I should try for another replacement then? I don't think it's supposed to be this hot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
Run a cpu monitor app to see how hot it actually is. Hot to one person might not be hot to someone else. If you get some solid info we could probably give you a better idea of what you should do.

When is it hot? All the time or only when you are playing hardcore games? Running hot is not a good thing to have but some replacements could be much worse. Obviously you can get another one but if it isn't really that hot it might not be worth the risk/annoyance of going through more replacements.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Balsta:
What would you consider hot? It's hot enough that it makes it very uncomfortable to hold. And it gets hot just having screen on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
Con and myself both coming from the rezound anything up to somewhere around 130F has become normal for me.

An example of where it depends on the person is with the new iPad. People were complaining about it getting to 110F with is a perfectly normal temp to me.

It really comes down to what you are used too, as con said. My rezound would hit 150 when really stressing it. My GSIII hasn't gotten that hot yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
Like uncomfortable as it in like just warms your hand well or like it is actually like causing a burn? I agree with nosympathy. The Rez was a warm phone. If you were really hammering the 4G it would get pretty warm.

edit: I keep my phone in an otterbox so mine might as well be alot warmer than I think it is. The phone has to make alot of heat for it to go all the way through the otterbox.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Balsta:
Well it's weird because with experience from every phone I've had before this and iPhones and such, I wouldn't expect any noticeable heat. And then the Qualcomm S4 is supposed to be the coolest running processor, yet this phone is much hotter than any Galaxy Nexus I had.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skater95:
Mine doesn't get hot. And I do A LOT of texting like 1000's of texts a day, tons of internet.. My razr would get scorching, this doesn't.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Balsta:
Not even slightly warm? That seems like that's how it should be. I just don't want to risk it if they're all just as hot - or worse.

Also, any specific ROM you use that helps with that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xterra91:
I just checked same here was suppose to be 32GB white but only 16GB wtf
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shojus:
Ya you guys need to get what was told you were going to get... PERIOD! A 16gb version is nice but the 32gb version is where it's at cause that is the PERFECT internal size if you ask me.... I just sold one of my S3's to get a 32gb cause I don't wanna have to fight for space on sd cards.. I do have a 64gb Sandisk SD card as well and that holds all of my backups and media but you would be surprised how fast that internal storage will go and that's where the 32gb version comes in play... Coming from a Nexus I felt like I constantly was running with low phone storage and now I am fine... Anyways, you sometimes have to take a gamble to get one that is good but sooner or later you will get a "keeper" and then your done with those damn refurbs, that they claim to be sent straight from Samsung.... I don't think so! They might refurbished by them but they come from Verizon... I would keep complaining until you get your **** that you deserve! ( Or maybe that you don't deserve...? ) LOL And my temp gets above 125 degrees when I am doing heavy duty stuff and even hotter if I overclock but it just depends what your hardware can handle but I have the insurance so it's of no concern to me because they send out replacements overnight. Good Luck everyone! :fingers-crossed:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fr8cture:
I dont understand why people say just get a sd card. Its not the same as internal storage slower and you cant move apps to it. They seems like too much of a hassle.

If i got 16gb when they said 32gb i would send it right back. Thats not acceptable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shojus:
EXACTLY..... ;) People seem to forget that a lot of apps cannot be put on your sd card because they will not work or will perform badly. Even these sd card hacks aren't something I would consider... I NEED 32gb on board and if they said they were going to give you that then don't accept less! ;) I just got done paying $515.00 for my 32gb Verizon off of Fleabay and it's due to arrive Wednesday... YAY!! ( hopefully )

My phone doesn't get warm when I'm using it either, not even a little. I'm stock. Not rooted or anything.

The only time it gets even slightly warm is when I'm charging it and using it at the same time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Balsta:
That must be nice..

Same here!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eth3rton:
I came from a Nexus and they sent me a 32gb S3. I activated it last night but noticed this morning that it was 16gb. Sticker on the backs says 32gb but internal storage reads 16gb. I called them up and the rep I talked to placed me on hold for a few minutes and came back and stated "your phone is normal, all Galaxy S3's are 16gb. The 32gb models come from the additional 16gb microSD that comes with new models, which yours did not since it was a refurb." I laughed and asked for a manager because I knew this information was incorrect... He said "fine since you seem to know more about phones than Verizons own tech support"... long story short they remotely viewed my phone from their end and are shipping me another 32gb S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JBO1018:
The only time my phone gets hot is when I'm playing NOVA 3 for a good while. Otherwise it stays perfectly cool. It does sound like it got partitioned with a 16GB .pit file for some reason. If you can fix it and are happy with it I would do that. Personally between the heating up just from normal use and the bad partitioning I would get another replacement.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SzoXin:
About a couple of weeks ago my battery started charging to over-voltage, nothing unusualy that I recall happend there. Anyway he started overcharging and keep showing that he is charging even after unplugged. He charges up to 4.2~ volt which is way over 3.7 wherehe should be.

Anyways I've tried to calibrate the battery so I rooted the phone but no luck. So I tried to move the files from the phone in case I'll have to give it back to a shop to fix it ( which I would prefer not to do) so I discovered the phone doesn't see the computer. It starts charging and in download mode they see each other perfect but in normal conditions no way.

I've tried to reinstall drivers and plug with different cables and different computers but no luck. Anything I can do that I haven't tried yet to make him see the computer?

Question about ota and HD radio

Not knowing fully what would happen or what to do I froze the file with TB to not receive the recent update. I'm still reading up on the whole HD, G7, VRLF stuff.

My baseband (or radio?) is VRLF2

What I'm reading is not to accept the OTA which will put me on VRLF7 (yes?) but to install the HD leak one instead?

I'm still going to read up but want to know I'm on the basic right track.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Keep the files frozen to eliminate the prompt. Go to the modems page I linked above and flash on any radio you want (through custom recovery or Odin, recovery is easy). Hd is the latest, but may not be the greatest depending on where you are.

Hi,

When I'm using an aosp derived rom(aosp/aokp/cm/pa...) my battery really sucks. I'm losing %1 per minute when screen on even while not using it. I tried multiple kernel and rom combinations result is almost same. I can get 4h of screen on time with gaming, on sense based roms. Any reasons for that. What I'm doing wrong?

Note: I always full wipe when changing rom bases and clear battery stats

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] greek goddess:
Ok, so I could ask to help me find a good rom, but...all are different and everybody has an opinion, right? So here is what I want to know:

I go to the different rom pages, but how do I figure out what their particular tweaks are? I want good battery life, hacked hotspot, etc. You know, the usual. Don't need to overclock and all that (noob enough not to know/need to mess with that).

Couple things I would like that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere such as:

a "slide to answer" feature. You know, where a call comes in and you can just swipe to answer.

Dial pad pop-up that doesn't completely cover the mute/speaker options.,

I miss the Epic 4g Touch's feature that in the contact or call log list you can swipe left or right on the contact to "call" or "text". Instead the extra steps of having to press and hold to bring up a menu to choose.

So are there any roms out there that address these little quirks and if so, how do I figure out what rom's particular tweaks are?

Thanks for any help
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
Features of a ROM are almost always in the first couple of posts, either in change logs or feature lists. Some multi device ROMs such as CM10 don't have feature lists in their threads, so you'd have to go to their websites or flash them yourself.

My suggestion? Just try ROMs out. Start with the ROM threads that have the most posts or views. Those tend to be the better ROMs, because more people are interested. Just flash them, set them up, and explore them a bit. That's the best way to find what's good for YOU.

Most Sense ROMs don't have a ton of tweaks available, but if you're really looking for them, I would try Viper4G first. I'd also suggest AOKP, which is an AOSP ROM that has a ton of tweaks in it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Spudrotten:
I would definitely give the viper 4g a whirl. you can always just flash a diff ROM if you don't like the one you get. also if you don't have it already, get goomanager. has different ROMS in it & makes it super easy to switch ROMS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
if u want a rom with stock look but is hella fast and great battery life go with Mean Rom.. if u want a rom that u can custimize go with Viper4G Rom
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] konc-ur noob:
+1. Viper for tweaks, meanrom for performance.

Also, most ROMs have a list of the features on the opening post (OP) of the ROM thread. Some of them aren't all conclusive, but they help. I'd say your best option is ViperRom
