Me too.

I was a super iPhone user for years. I had every model through the 4s, all were jailbroken. I just wasn't impressed at all. The whole cydia thing, updating constantly and half the apps didn't work for the correct model phone anyway. I came to Android after going to school for Computer Science and learning code. The open source was the main reason for my switch. I went from a 4s to the GS3 and haven't regretted the decision for a minute.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RPelham:
My favorite is the fact that its endlessly customizable. Don't like a font? Don't like a launcher? Don't like the messaging app? Prefer to have your clock in the middle? Want a battery bar? Want to get rid of TouchWiz entirely? Want to uninstall a core app?

Change it.

Android is so much more customizable and powerful than iOS will ever be because apple is too controlling. Google gives their source to anyone and everyone with a computer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] The Internet:
Imo, the best feature of iOS is its simplicity, but it's very dated and lacks features found on any common android. The thing that always bothers me is that after 7 years you still can't do bluetooth file transfer. Even my old Windows Mobile smartphone from 2006 does it perfectly up until this day. With GS3 you have tons of customization options out of the box. With iOS you're bound to Apple's stock apps. Not the case with GS3.

As person above said, if you don't like a particular thing, just find another that suits your tastes. People swear by Nova and other launchers. I found myself to be in love with Holo, and that was after loving the stock TW style for so many months.

In iOS you have Safari and that's it. You can download other browsers, but DEFAULT will always be Safari (unless you jailbreak of course). I've gone through so many browsers, but finally stood with Chrome as my default b/c it syncs bookmarks and everything between my GS3, old 4S, office computer, work laptop, personal laptop, etc.

I thought I'd be content with stock ROM. Then I rooted and thought I'd be happy with that. Then I started doing custom ROMS. The possibilities are endless. You can make your GS3 your own and work the way YOU need it to. With iOS, you're stuck with whatever Apple allows you to do. I can go on forever because I know tons about iOS and jailbreaking, but I am now in love with my GS3 and will not look back.

I recently bought an iPhone from eBay to use as a 2nd phone. Resold it within a month because I felt it paled in comparison to Android.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ryandelman:
I have an iPhone4S for work and S3 as my personal. It's rare that the iPhone gets used as anything other than a drink coaster simply because it's doesn't do enough.

While there's nothing wrong with the iPhone, iOS or the hardware (in fact, it's all very neat and clean), it's boring and bland if you're like me because I just need customization.

Principly speaking -as a consumer- I don't appreciate having what I want or need dictated to me through the product I'm buying, but again beyond that I just find iOS to be blah.

I'm trying to return to stock. My power button on my sgh-i777 is broken and it has been refusing to connect to my computer. I tried to return my phone to stock using mobile odin and after checking the md5 it just tried to reboot and got stuck at cwm recovery. Every time I try to select any of the options in cwm it says :

"E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log"

What on earth does this mean and how do I fix it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Wipe cache. If it has an error with the cache wipe it :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] elementlaxer:
Haha I wish it were that simple. Even trying to select "wipe cache" in CWM gives me that message. I'm just going to send it in to mobile tech videos....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:

I've been having problems with it for a while, it won't let me wipe the cache, my USB is broken and won't let me connect to ODIN to return to stock and using mobile ODIN got me to this problem, and when I try to do a factory wipe through the regular settings on my phone or through CWM it either does nothing or gives me that error.

My bad for not giving you guys enough information to adequately help. So in my opinion, paying $45 to get my USB fixed plus my phone completely reset to stock and fully wiped is not overkill.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I get the same error sometimes in recovery . But its only words . Everything still works just fine. (allows u to wipe ,install ,etc .) and when u say u can't connect to your pc do u mean it won't recognize it at ALL , or that u get an error message , or ....cause if u have the proper drivers installed, and its not working , try a different usb port. Do u have the android sdk installed ?

Hi guys,

Looking to buy a HTC One S from eBay but bit confused with all their model names.. What is the Z520e? What does that model name signifiy? What model name should I get?

I'm a UK-based consume on O2..

Sorry if this is a dumb question..

Thanks,

TD
[HTC One S] jandari:
Z520e means it's with S4 processor.
[HTC One S] thedynamix:
That's the good one right, opposed to the dated S3?
[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
If you want to root and re-ROM the S4 is the one to get. I think devs for the S3 are available but they are far fewer
[HTC One S] thedynamix:
I should explain.. I have no idea about rooting.. Just want the most recent, performant HTC One S I can get.. Assuming the S4 variant is faster, then I will opt for that.. Right?
[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
if you are not going to mess with your phone one is as good as the other. On paper the S3 a better spec at 1.7 ghz to the S4s 1.5 ghz but this is because the chip is overclocked. In real terms the difference is negligible, There are dozens of threads covering this topic:

Surprised to see how epxneisce this phone still is.. Compared to SG S3, there isn't a great deal of £ difference.. At least here in the UK, on eBay..
[HTC One S] thedynamix:
On another note guys.. I've seen reports of the black paint fading and chipping... Has anyone else seen/experienced these issues?

I was keen on the black version, but if the grey version does not suffer from this, I'll rather go with that...
[HTC One S] invasion2:
I got the gray version and it's not chipped/scratched at all. Can't say anything about the black one and I've never held it or seen it.
[HTC One S] nor-ric:
I don't agree with this. On paper the S4 chip is WAY better, because it'a much more powerful and efficient architecture, despite the lower frequency.

Go with S4 if you can (Z520E=S4)!

About the chipping issue, they say it has been solved in newer batches since quite a while. However, the grey one has never suffered this issue.
[HTC One S] thedynamix:
You guys are grreat - thanks again!
[HTC One S] invasion2:
Press the thanks button ;)
[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
I've had the black version since May. It is scratched and chipped, especially the sharpish edges at the top and the bottom of the unit where the black coating has all but given way to the metal beneath.

I'd say if this was important to you look at an alternative to the black. For me, it's not a showstopper. I use the thing every day and I'm not particularly precious about how I handle it. It's a phone, not a museum piece.

Take a look for yourself....
[HTC One S] ATSPerson:
I take your point and agree - to a point. I was keeping it non-technical, and comparing raw Ghz with raw Ghz of course there are many other factors to take into consideration and the efficiency of the architecture is definitely very important.
[HTC One S] thedynamix:
Haha I get where you're coming from and tbh over time, I probably won't mind if it scratches.. But If I can make an informed decision before purchase, I can have a phone AND a museum piece!

But you're right.. Hardly a major concern.

I own several Samsung phones (from Spica to Galaxy S II)

They are all great but trust me, Samsung is quite bad at button quality. Hardware button becomes non responsive after a year of very careful usage. Even my ancient Nokia N95 has been abused for years but luckily all buttons are still working and are on top shape.

To preserve the life of our precious power button, it is a good idea to use the volume rocker instead (volume rocker tends to be very durable at times). I tried to port volume rocker wake but I seemed to be out of luck (its not working)

Any kind devs around here who could port volume rocker wake for stock roms? It might come in handy for many users out here (including me of course)...

I've notice many ppl discuss about their aftermarket battery were unable to

reach 100% when using standalone aftermarket charger.

Just to point out that the S3's battery is using 4.35v cell instead of the usual 4.2v cell.

Most standard charger stops at 4.2v thus they'll stop at around 90%.

If you're looking for standalone charger. Best to look for charger rated at 4.35v.

(I rooted and change kernel to undervolt the CPU. the result is excellent, anyone who want longer run time should do it)

:P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] worwig:
Every charger is 5 volts. The phone sets the charge voltage, not the charger, which is 5 volts.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] m20120:
The OP is referring to the voltage of the battery cells, not the USB charger (which is always 5V). The battery on the GS3 is in fact a higher voltage than most other phones (like the GS2). If you use an offline/standalone battery charger that does not charge to the full voltage of the GS3 battery the battery will show about 90% charged when you place it in the phone.
