So I've had this case for about five days. General review is i like the feel of a hard case but part of that may be the placebo affect. The sides and back provide very good protection against the occasional dropping. The front is my only concern. The trim around the screen is not as thick as the extended soft case I purchased from Verizon. I'm worried that a hard drop on the on the screen side would be almost fatal but the only solution would be an otter box but that adds way to much bulk for my taste and the battery being held in by rubber and nothing else just seems kind of scary to me. The two pieces of this case are held in by a catch on the inside of the top piece. To remove the case simply press hard on the Laza logo and the two pieces slide apart. Actually easier said then done. It takes some wiggling to get them apart. The good news about that is that a simple drop will not cause them to fall apart. Your buttons and ports and extra mic are very easily accessible. Large cut outs allow you to use all the buttons freely without rubber covering them but still maintaining the protection of the phone. The other major downfall is how slick this case is. Even with dry hands it feels like at any given second your phone is a wet bar of soap that your trying your best to hold onto. Reading the reviews from amazon it seems that some customers received a belt clip for this case that would be awesome. Not sure if it was just not mass released or if only the people who complained got them but I cant seem to find one anywhere. All in all not a bad case for a phone that is over a year old. Now to complain that I need a belt clip. LoL

Is there a lifeproof like case out there that meets the same quality and has the same features. Or maybe lifeproof is making cases for this phone since its fairly popular?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lthu0492:
Hello, first post on XDA for me.

I've been wanting to upgrade to SGS3 from SGS2. The only thing holding me back is the lack of support for LTE on the device when T-mobile rolls out LTE in 2013. I'm wondering, how big of a difference will it make? Should I wait for a phone with LTE support or should I just get this device?

Also, is the upgrade from SGS2 big enough to make it worth the money?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
Yes the upgrade is big enough to make the jump.

LTE or not depends. Are you in an HSPA+42 area? If so, the difference won't be *huge* at first unless T-Mobile jumps straight to LTE-Advanced, which I don't think they will do.

For most things on the phone, you won't notice a difference anyways.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ktetreault14:
I think that hspa+ speeds suite my taste and don't really hurt my battery life at all... I will wait to see how much lte effects battery life on tmobile phones before I think about it

how is everyones signal and reception. everyone always says samsung phones have bad radios? let me know in the comments below
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ibcenu:
Well, here in Chicago & NW burbs, some places are great, others totally suck. Depends on where you are vs how far along they are on there network vision upgrade as sprint calls it

Anyway S3 reception... came from an EVO LTE that had constant issues, reception being one. Before I switched to the S3 I held mine up side by side to an S3 that was getting 4G signal, the evo, 2 bars of 3g.

Anyway reception on S3? Aside from sucky sprint service, all and all is much better than the evo.. my daily commute to and from work are much better now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dalmus:
Reception seems to be much improved on both the 3g radio and the WiFi radio. I drop to 1x far less than I did with my SG2 when in buildings.

I can go about twice the distance from my wireless router at home than I could with the SG2.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tcrimsonk:
hmm
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Interesting, I guess I never thought of one.

It would be WAY beyond my ability, as I am struggling on getting CM9 to run on the device at the moment. So while the concept of one is interesting, I've already voided my warranty... so most developers that have the device have probably already done the same.

Although to be honest, most developers I speak to are pretty turned off about Moto and their prior unlocking policies. It's a shame, but their past seems like it might hurt the developer desire to get this device.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snarfy666:
Is it save to delete or rename SyncmlDM.apk (software update)? It is a system apk.

And if it is, what is the best way to do it. It keeps popping up and I don't want normal software updates, only the apps from the android store.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gjsii13:
Here is the situation:

I am a 23 year old CIS Grad who loves technology, computers, and my phone.

Current Phone - iPhone 4 (Needed trusty OS and previously had a Fascinate, Droid, iPhone 3G)

Carrier - Verizon

Upgrade Available? - Yes

Reasons I am on iOS

I steered clear of Android over the last few years because they release so many phones that I always feel that I will get the short end of the stick, see a newer, better phone, and want to kill myself.

Android Updates are just inconsistent (unless you have a Nexus, which is already outdated).

Reasons I Shouldn't Be on iOS

I love customizing my phone

I love rooting my phone

I love experimenting with the OS

So, should I get the Samsung Galaxy S III?

Wait for a newer, better phone this holiday season?

Other phones I am interested in -

HTC 8X

So you think I should wait until October 29th (Next Nexus announcement) or buy the S3 now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
I would get the S3 over the new nexus any day. Only for one reason though LG is making it and I will never own something from LG again. I have had bad luck with LG everything and I mean everything I have ever bought that was LG was complete **** IMO. Even with it beaning a new nexus I feel the S3 still is far more superior. Good luck on your choice.

Have the s3 love it best android phone I have owned. Gonna probably get the note 2 since its a s3 on steroids.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
I find it funny that one of your reasons for avoiding Android has been because of the wide variety of choices, fearing that as soon as you purchase a phone it'll already be outdated.....

So to remedy this you went ahead and chose a proprietary phone that was outdated 6 months before it was even available to purchase!

ICS is good on the S3. With the right custom TW ROM, you get good speed, a smooth UI, good battery life, and that it's easier to use than GB (my wife has the Conquer 4G).

I've used the JB leak though, and can confirm its faster, easier to use, provides better battery life, and seems to have enabled better data speeds (although, this could just be a placebo) than my current favorite TW ICS ROM. I believe KLP will see even more improvements, and that's due out towards the end of the month (rumor has it).

As far as phone hardware goes. This is technology. Of course it will be outshine shortly after release! The market is competitive,and that means the consumer wins. You can't go wrong in getting the SGS3 right now. Likewise, if you wanted to wait, nobody would blame you for holding out for the Note 2, or a new Nexus device, or HTC's answer to the SGS3, or the SGS4.....I could keep going because there'll always be something around the corner.

So break out of the pen, sell your wool, leave the apple where it fell and get yourself a phone that you've researched and are confident meets your needs - then come back here to XDA, do more research (use search please), and make your device unique, one-of-a-kind, and expect the best from your device.

Cause that's what XDA's all about...enabling probability in the natural pursuit of demanding excellence from the things we enjoy.

I'd wait for the fall/winter offerings
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] owlchemist:
I have only owned 4 smartphones so my opinion may not be on great use. However I thoroughly enjoy the S3 and have to say it is my favorite phone..plus I haven't even rooted it yet. My first smartphone was an iPhone 3g so of course I loved it, but when I got my Inspire I never looked back. I rooted my Inspire and flashed the hell out of it. Every other week it felt like I had a new phone with new tips and tricks to learn. I never felt like my phone was outdated although it was.

After I was eligible to upgrade I picked up an Evo 4G Lte which I ended up returning. The only things I miss are the build quality and audio quality. I'm not saying the S3 doesn't have good sound because it does, and it is much louder than the Evo was. The build quality is fine as well, but I liked the kickstand and "metal" body. Regardless of those two factors I still love my S3. I have yet to root it and feel that if I do I will love it that much more. I also feel that with the internals, screen, and software this phone is packing, it is a definite winner. ICS/JB are both very good operating systems and feel much more fluid and closer to the level of "quality" someone who buys an iPhone might expect. The community here is also great which is another reason that I'm sticking with the droid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] splashattack:
Honestly, that's one of the things I like about android phones. With so many OEMs competing, you get slightly better phones every few months or so. Better processor, better screen, better camera, NFC, new design etc. So you get gradual progress over the year. With iPhone (at least starting with the 4s) you get slight progress once a year.

To paraphrase NWA, the SGS3's the motherf*cker that's built to last.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gtuansdiamm:
Don't buy lg

S3 is future proof
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CCallahan:
S3 is a great phone no doubt. But it should be easy to pick between it and the Note 2 because they are in different catagories. Do you want a phone that also doubles as a small tablet or just a phone? IMO the Note 2 is too big for someone that wants just a phone but I realize that is not always the case.

Other thing to consider is the sooner you upgrade the sooner you can upgrade next time. ;) Also, the S3 is going to be cheaper on the upgrade since it has dropped in price while the Note 2 or any of the new phones are gonna cost more.

Not trying to sway either way just giving some things to consider.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Jfree3000:
New dock, and the headphone jack is on the bott..........oh damn never mind. In all seriousness I would just wait, you hit the nail on the head about all the different android phones that come out after the release of the newest thing. You will never have the latest android phone on contract unless you have money to burn.

The S3 is a fantastic phone and will hold me over for the time being and plus I bought the plan from bestbuy that gives me the most bang for my buck if I want to get something else before my two years is up. I would not recommend buying any lg phone even if it is a nexus device.

Do you plan on staying with Verizon and what type of plan do you have with them? Hell if you could spare the cash, find an s3 for sale locally and save that upgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gjsii13:
I have to stick with Verizon. My plan is through a company. I don't believe the Note 2 will ever come to Verizon.

I am not as petrified of LG as most of you, but I'm also not content with it either.

To those of you basically saying I am an Apple fanboy or iOS junkie, thats just simply false. I only bought the iPhone 4 because of how frustrated I was at Samsung with its Fascinate support and the speed at which Android released new firmwares that were incompatibile with almost every phone except the Nexus.

I cannot stand iOS, I just didn't feel like shelling out $600+ while under contract for a phone that saw less support (albeit with more features than the iPhone).

I am worried about spending my contract on the GS3 because Key Lime Pie is due out soon, and technically the S3 doesn't even have Jelly Bean yet.

I know a KLP rom will be out but I would prefer a KLP based rom.

If you're a tech enthusiast, I don't think you need us to talk you into it. Look at the stats, make up your own mind. Think for yourself.

Obviously you come into this forum you're going to get skewed results. Go into an iPhone forum and tell them you're thinking of switching to Android and see what their consensus is.

That being said, I have had zero problems with my SIII and I don't think I'll have any regrets about buying it until I'm eligible for a new phone.

The advancements that have been made in Android the past 1.5-2 years are incredible to say the least.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Thank you for pointing this out. Anyone I have ever talked to who didn't like Android, as soon as I found out what phone they had, there was no more explanation needed. If people want to get a 'free' Android phone, expect it to suck because the hardware does...that's why it's 'free'.

How often do you see a 'free' iPhone? Never have, probably never will. If you buy a top tier Android phone, nothing is better...period.

Buy something crappy and you get what you pay for.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] freeza:
On further analysis, I may stick with the GS3. The Note II has the same resolution, with a bigger screen, thus making PPI lower.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FrameCityJackal:
That's mostly the case I have another friend who is on the nuts of apple.He has the S3 now doesn't want the I5 he already had the I4 but all he does is complain how ****ty android is....his first android was a optimus on sprint complete crap he's hated android since.

Now with my friend who takes my S3 every chance he can get he's had the Evo design I think and some other crappy one on verizon before he went to iOS. I think the i5 really turned a lot of people off of it.

They offer free 3G iPhones :p

Like it or not you're making the jump with me who else can make freeza roms lol

M y niece an iPhone fanatic could not be told about any thing other than iPhone. That is until she played with my GS3 a few months ago, and after having the new iPhone for a week sent it back in exchange for the new in coming note 2.

I asked her what made her change her mind, and she said it was no different than her iPhone 4, and was boring when compared to my GS3. She said the note pen and stats were better spec'd than my GS3, and the "phablet" appealed to her more than the new iPhone.

The funny thing is that she said she liked how simple the iPhone was to use when compared to my GS3 and that it was her phone of choice since its introduction when she was playing with my GS3 back then.

She said the new iPhone fell behind Android based on the iPhone 5 functionality over all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MjrCARNAG3:
Android lover

If you can, you should find a friend who has a GS3 and have a play with it. The ability to customize it and do what the heck you like with music, movies or any files for that matter is a huge winner for me. The last time I looked at an Iphone, I don't think it was possible to use bluetooth for anything other than using peripherals.

If you like to goof around with the innards of you phone the GS3 will keep you entertained for a long time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] roccop02:
Wait!! I've had the GNex, EVO LTE, and S3. The EVO was actually my favorite of the 3. The screen was amazing, better than any screen hands down. With the GNex and S3 I was just not a fan of the Pentile matrix. Idc what people say, I could definitely tell the difference after owning the EVO first. I would wait and see what comes next and if the new Nexus is nice...def go with it because of the upgrades. Samsung has always given me awful luck as far as call quality, and the new screen cracked really easy on my S3. I've always owned Android and now own the iPhone 5 and although boring, it's quick and works well. I had to get away from the S3 because I was glued to my computer constantly trying new roms, mods, etc...it was an addiction lol. So my cleanse is the iPhone haha!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] theonlyrick:
I've got the S3, and am very happy with it.

The thing I hear about it most is that it's too big for single-handed use. With phone in my right hand, I can just reach the top left corner with my thumb. Someone with smaller hands would find it annoying.

On the plus side, the screen lets you fit a lot of info in front of you, whether your desktop or a website.

If you like customising, get an Android, if you just want it to work out the box, with no hassle, get the whyPhone...

And hold out as long as you can for new tech, but also realise that whenever you commit, the tech will keep rolling along!

I am not going to talk you into upgrading to an S3.

I am going to talk you into upgrading to an Iphone 5 and then getting your S3 for FREE

Upgrade your account to an Iphone 5.

then ad on craigslist. Seeking S3 on verizon plus $225 cash I have an I5.

when 4-5 people reply pick the closest one let him talk ou down to $200 if he insists and make the swap.

you just got your S3 (far superior to the I5) for almost free.

I have done this twice (will do it a third time once I find another I5 in stock :) got 3 people waiting :) on sprint.

I assume this will work the same way on verizon (esn swapping??)

I love the I5. well I love the fanboys that lust over the I5's gets me my S3's for free :)
