I'll be sticking with S3 then get a S4 next year, as i like the features Samsung offer on the phones, i find nexus smartphone boring if im honest after a while.
[Galaxy S III General] kulisap:
I don't think i will be shifting to next nexus.. It's LG..

[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Everyone is saying that they aren't gonna get the lg nexus because of bad software support but you do realise that lg won't have anything to do with it, Google will handle all software updates for nexuses.
[Galaxy S III General] nasenbaertennis:
I just don't want to support that company again...
[Galaxy S III General] Sensamic:
The support will come from Google in theory, since its a nexus.

Besides, the sgs3 is not getting better support either if we consider that they haven't released the documentation for the exynoss processor...
[Galaxy S III General] Nas Eiesefpi:
Me too. S4 will probably be my next phone. Just hoping they improve the design! Ohh and please don't release it too soon, I want to enjoy using my S3 first.
[Galaxy S III General] EcPercy:
Giving up 80GB of onboard storage for 8/16gb? Not going to happen. I spend 2 hours a day on the MRT and I am sure that anyone that takes a train knows how great the internet is... /s

I won't be looking at another nexus device (last one was Nexus S) until something is done about the storage situation on these phones.
[Galaxy S III General] Sensamic:
Yeah, and hope they don't do the same they're doing now to their customers and developers not releasing important documentation on the next exynoss processor they will include in the S4.
[Galaxy S III General] jlevy73:
True the software will be wide open since it will be AOSP but Qualcomm is terrible about releasing all their code as well (S4 = Qualcomm). That being said, I don't see myself getting the LG variant but if HTC decides to release one I might have to spring for it. The Nexus One made by HTC was probably my favorite android device of all time. I think HTC should bring back the trackball :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III General] nasenbaertennis:
But it won't take a year to get the promised update... Anyway, i guess my next phone will be the s4 - or maybe the nokia hypergalaxy super mega iS5 from space...
[Galaxy S III General] -A-P-M-:
Wrong, LG Nexus got better hardware than our SGS3 - 1.5 Ghz Quad Core Snapdragon S4 processor, 2GB RAM, 1280x768 True-HD IPS screen. And if I remember correct, Galaxy Nexus prototypes had 8 gb too, so I don't worry about storage - I expect at least 16 gb storage. On top of that it got vanilla Android, which looks better than TW IMO, works better and is faster. Also it gets updates immediately and also devs got all sources and drivers, so they can build great roms without bugs.

I like new LG Nexus specs, design, and build quality looks very good, more premium. I will get one.
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
This nexus will become inferior in few months, especially when the next gen htc, samsung flagships are announced. People who are thinking of getting it.. Better don't.

《swagged from aokp》
[Galaxy S III General] -A-P-M-:
Probably yes, like Galaxy Nexus is inferior to SGS3, HTC One X etc. But for example, open Contacts app on SGS3 and on Galaxy Nexus - despite better hardware, SGS3 needs almost two times longer. Also great developers like Codeworkx are leaving SGS3 because of closed sources and drivers it is very unfriendly for developing. SGS4 will probably have great hardware (I guess A15 quad core), but because of TW, closed sources and drivers I doubt it will perform better than LG Nexus. HTC isn't better in that area. I will look close Sony, looks like it is very good for developing - Codeworkx works on Sony Xperia T for 2 or 3 weeks and nightlys are already out. Still Sony Xperia T doesn't interest me because of weaker hardware and display, but I will look close their upcoming flagships.

Still Galaxy Nexus had weaker hardware on its launch than LG Nexus today IMO. GN was underpowered, while LG Nexus got high end specs.

Also for people who said LG got terrible software and support. Because this is Nexus, Google will care for software and support, LG will only make a hardware.
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
Nexus....Uhmm...I don't think so. Galaxy S4 ? Maybe, depends what will get new.

[Galaxy S III General] tonyt3rry:
I'd prob go back to a nexus I'm not really happy with the s3 I don't like not having stock or being able to press a switch to turn some of the Samsung stuff I'm using widget locker for the lock screen and nova for the jb look just a shame I have the menus looking bulky
[Galaxy S III General] irzero:
Stock android has SOME SERIOUSLY BAD things.

Since when is stock android the best?

Have you seen the Dialer!??? ITS HORRID

Have you seen the complete lack of options in some of the menus?

You have a key dedicated to multitasking? WTF? seriously? the menu key on the S3 is way more useful.

When i moved to CM10 i couldnt believe just how much was missing that i thought was android but was actually Samsungs modifications.

My friends Nexus 7 runs stock android and its not that good.

i run debloated Omega 27.1 and its smooth and lag free and performance is perfect. i also get the benefits of the addition stuff samsung brings to the phone.

Want to know why stock android is ONLY on 1 phone per year? Because people who actually buy phones dont really want it! Nexus sales suck and phone makers know this.
[Galaxy S III General] bradputt:
chill dude, there are ppl that dump TW for AOSP. me included.

Im sick of not having a 100% working phone. we got to wait for the leak, then source code, then something else......

i rather got a nexus phone where we get the updates straight from google.

Just personal preference i guess.
[Galaxy S III General] kaynpayn:
Nope.

Definitly not thinking about replacing the S3 for anything in the near future. No point. I'm sure as far as hardware goes, the S3 is WAY more that what any phone really needs and if there is any shortcoming it's software related for sure. Which can and, i'm sure, will be optimized at some point in the future.

More, the concept of not having an sd card bothers me. Limited space is an issue to me, google's streaming services don't really work on this side of the ocean and i lack data plans with unlimited traffic to work the way they planned. Not to mention the battery drain streaming causes.

AOSP interface (touch keys) don't bother me. But neither does the samsung way. I had an SGS before the S3, fuctionality is pretty much the same, so i guess i'm just used to how they do it and i'm confortable with it - menu key, long press menu key to search, home key, long press to multitask, double press to Svoice now, back to well, back and maybe even force close stuff (not sure if this is implemented from stock though).

That said, i understand people not wanting TW for some reason and going AOSP (hey android's all about having the choice). But i actually find TW far more complete than aosp. More, i see loads of people saying "I don't want stuff that doesn't work so i'll stick with aosp" and i find myself asking wtf is he on about, i'm yet to find something not working on samsung's stock ics rom (haven't tried JB yet). I even think it was rather polished with options, shortcuts and ways of doing stuff easier. But i do see stuff still not working on aosp roms (it's generally even anounced on rom descriptions). I do realize there are also extra customizations from custom roms but they fall out of the scope of this observation since the question is related to a nexus, aosp device. More, i find no lag at all with my stock phone, so i'm not sure what people mean when they say "i prefer a lag free rom".

All of this is my personal experience, of course.

And I definitly want nothing phone related from LG. I'm actually kind of surprised how they were even picked. They were, by far, one of the worse companies on the android scene. Even if software comes from google i'd still won't have any of it, don't feel like rewarding them (LG) that way.

Granted, delayed updates are an issue and samsung isn't usually brilliant (acutally quite the opposite) in software (my SGS's stock rom was pure crap) and i'm even reading all over how samsung screwed up butter on their JB rom but up to now (on ICS) I'm an happy S3 user. I find no problems at all with my phone (apart from the first defective unit i got for a week before having it replaced) so i'm sticking with it, hopefully for a long time.

TL: DR: I have no desire of owning an nexus at this time, i'm perfectly cool with the S3 :)
[Galaxy S III General] mintvilla:
I imagine alot of people on here will be saying that they wont be swapping devices, since for one this is the GS3 thread so people tend to be kind of biased to the phone they already have.

I cant wait to switch to be honest, i haven't liked the GS3 since the day i got it, but i can upgrade every 6 months so i thought sod it why not (comming from a GS2).

Bar all the nonsense with not having all the sources to run CM10 proper, i dont really like the look the phone, i dont hate on plastic like some pople do, since you know glass breaks, and metal scratch really easily and dont give you as good signal/nfc/wifi etc, but i the glossy plastic theyve used i think is just horrible, theyve tried to make it look like a pebble and its just terrible imo. if the GS2 had a better screen id of stuck with that for defo.

Now i do prefer stock android to a custom version, but i generally like to get the flagship device and stick CMX on it, since with nexus devices you generally just get stock android, where as with a flagship phone you get the choice of stock or a custom rom.

However the whole debacle over sources has made me realise that my version of CM10 is a lil bit gimped, and to combine that with me just not liking the look of the GS3, I cant wait to get the Nexus 4

Not 100% working phone? It all works fine for me?

Well said, too much moaning going on.
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
tend to agree , and at the heart of this debate is nothing more than pure android v touchwiz with a bit of developer influence thrown in for good (or bad) measure.

I will continue to buy phones on what I see as the best product....not because of what other people do
[Galaxy S III General] da.trute:
I often wonder how much use the threads are to anyone, although I've probably participated in them myself before. When discussing phones pretty much everything is subjective beyond the hardware specs. Just choose the phone that best fits your own needs rather than wasting your time trolling through pages and pages of useless opinions. Choosing a phone shouldn't be rocket science :)

[Galaxy S III General] blazevxi:
People who go on about wanting faster hardware, there will always be faster. You should get the phone you want for now, rather than waiting for a phone that'll be the best, because there will always be better. Otherwise, you'll always be disappointed and selling your phone every 3-6 months because you've seen Phone Y does more than Phone X which did more than Phone W
[Galaxy S III General] MarcelMAH:
I won't switch to another phone, main reason is that I got it with my subscription which will last another 1.5 years :)

If I would have known what I know now at the time I chose the SG3 I probably would have bought another phone with good support as I HATE stock and love CyanogenMod. Unfortunately CM9 and CM10 (never tried,just read the topic...) aren't working good enough, the little things start to annoy me and I think I'm going to switch to Omega rom when v28 is released. I hope Samsung releases it's documentation so I can go 'back' to CM10!
[Galaxy S III General] :
Nobody knows. The reason Google didn't put a SD CARD slot was because it affects performance, and makes the phone different from the same phone without SD CARD.

Also, that's another reason why they put the internal storage sharing with data and with ext4, because it won't get unmounted and it will get more "inside" the system, letting Android to completely manage it.

Based on that, I hope NO. It changes everything, making it almost a nightmare for some devs.
[Galaxy S III General] demlasjr:
That's true. However, I don't want a faster device, just a few more ram :(

Just got mine today and this thing is great. It came with 57% charged. The back cover fits seamlessly just like stock. So far it has lasted 8 hours plus with 20% remaining. I will drain it and recharge it to see how long it will last. I would highly recommend Anker. They shipped it fast, too.:good:

You can find it on ebay or amazon. I bought mine directly from Anker from ebay with free shipping. It was fast I got it in a few days. I highly recommend Anker. I have this for about a week now and the battery still going strong. If on standby it can last at least 2 days. Even with surfing and watch movies or using LTE the battery exceeds every expectation. I don't have to plug in the phone as much as before. Heck, I haven't plugged in except at night when going to bed. I also got a 10,000 portable charger from Anker and I never have to worry about running out of juice wherever I go. Just get it and you won't be disappointed just because the price and the quality. I even got an extended case for it to protect the phone. My phone is now complete.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] popstikaz:
i've tried both the anker and the hyperion, and even though the hyperion is 4200 mAh, i've noticed a much better performance.

still both work great for their purpose.

Unfortunately the hyperion is not available in Europe while the Anker is, and is also seems cheaper (they even have a good free delivery deal on amazon.de), so if no NFC model appears in the next weeks I will just have to settle for Anker :rolleyes:

[General Questions and Answers] gvmm:
This is a actual photo of my sisters galaxy S phone with screen burn. Samsung Service Center in my area said it is a burn problem. Since no more warranty for the phone, replacement of the screen is needed but LCD screen will be used since they have no spare samoled screen available. Cost is about $200 usd. Is this a problem for all Super Amoled devices? Is there a way to prevent this? Will we experience this with our Amoled devices sooner or later? If so them maybe its best to stay away from Amoled till samsung perfects this tech. Am so disappointed with Samsung.

I have heard of screen burn in on AMOLED but have never seen it so severe.

I recently switched to Nova launcher and it seems like its overall smoother than Apex launcher which is what I've been using previously. What launchers have given you the best performance on ICS.

I'm also trying to figure out how to get other governors that would help with performance without killing my battery for AOKP Milestone 6.

I like nova prime. But atom launcher is also a good favorite. Very light. I used atom on CNA and aokp and had great results

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I really don't get the Apex/Nova rave on our device. Sammy gives us the stock launcher, you just have to switch to it. I only use Nova because I got it when it was on sale, not worth the regular price in my opinion.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Apex just gives me a "Stock +" experience. I don't even use as many features as it has. Mainly just to use home button as app drawer(when on home screen), and have app/folder options in the scrollable dock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Best performance is stock launcher for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dennygrawg:
I have purchased and tried out both Nova and Apex Pro launchers. After using them both for a while I settled on Apex launcher. I am on a rooted stock jellybean firmware, Poland rollout. Both launchers are very similar in terms of overall design and behaviour but i chose Apex for the following reasons;

1.Fewer ui and app drawer redraws this is possibly because of the keep in memory feature which is not there in Nova. This might consume more memory but for me the resulting smoothness is worth it.

2. Unread email count, to put this into perspective understand I have three Gmail accounts set up on my phone. In Apex I get the total unread count across all 3 accounts whilst Nova gives me total unread for only the main account associated with my device.

The one thing i missed in Apex from Nova was the import homescreen feature as i had to set up my widgets all over again in Apex. That said i am sticking to Apex for now.

GoLaucher Ex is now unistalled from my S3 until further notice but it seems to still work reasonably well on my S2
