[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mznatnat:
I called T-Mobile and got them to let me get this sexy phone for $220. But before I get the phone I d to know the pros and cons of having this phone. I have already done all the initial research like specs and stuff. But I need the GS3 community to tell me what they like about the phone and what bugs them. I want you to list any little / specific thing. I am switching over from HTC Amaze 4G (sucky development) .... How Is the development in here? Want your guys opinions. You guys will be helping me a lot. I appreciate any help I can get.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJW:
Look around, plenty of development. Just about everyone here likes the phone, except the trolls. And even then most of them probably secretly like it too.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skander1998:
The phone is just awesome.

Now i don't recommend branded firmware but that's okay, it's android so you will probably put CM9 in there or any other custom ROM.

Btw, there is a forum for tmobile users, nothing here (international) will work with yours and you should ask them for opinions on performance, the international is a quadcore and US variants are dual core with different specs.

Goodluck.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bordikun:
Phone is awesome just great support here in XDA.

my only con is the Screen break easily, not that my phone's screen break but I've always read a thread every now and then and youtube videos that the screen breaks easily. So I handled my device gently so far didn't drop it ever since day 1 :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krs360:
I absolutely love my SIII. Particularly like the speed of the processor and the quality of the screen. And the fact that JB is available (although there is only 1 official built ATM, for Poland; but the rest of the world will have an official build very shortly).

With most of my old phones, I have flashed custom ROM's within weeks of buying. But with this one, the Sammy ROM's are excellent and 5 months in I am still using them. I have tried a couple of custom's, but keep coming back to stock ROM's (obviously rooted, and occasionally custom kernels that support CIFS).

With regards to the development, and this forum, due to the popularity of the phone it is absolutely saturated with a myriad of people. There are lots of very talented devs, who contribute loads of really excellent work. But there are twice as many "noobs" (god I hate that word), who refuse to search, research, or learn before posting inane questions. Then there are twice as many as that of people who consider it their god given right to flame anyone for not being as geeky as they are.

Bottom line - the development for this phone is excellent, and full of talented, helpful people. You just have to hunt through a ton of cr4p to find them.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IAmNiceify:
I have a iphone 3gs and now i have a sg3 for my birthday present :)

All i can say its the best phone,it tends to get hot when u playing games but i think its normal since its a quad core.

U can flash rom,install kernel and all that.I have my sg3 for about 1month plus.

At first i have no idea wads android,wads ics wads jelly bean.But slowly i pick it up along the way.

I have the latest siyal kernel with dual boot cristelo and romow rom :)

Best phone :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaa:
There is no cons in SGS3, nothing which I can tell at the moment.

I love it at the moment..although the Galaxy Note 2 seems to be better with the 2GB RAM tho' ;p

Note:

I am not using any custom ROMs at the moment on my S3 even after several months after buying (pre-ordered in June :) )...I feel that its not yet necessary for the moment...

It was different as my old HTC Desire...I have to go for custom ROMs only after 2 weeks due to the lots and lots of weaknesses HTC Desire has and I need special scripts to solve it like EXT2SD, DALVIK2SD, etc. etc. etc.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saywhatt:
Well just after i purchased my S3, i rooted it right away. I am officially addicted to flashing stuffs. •_•

I cant find any cons on an s3, it's an awesome phone (for now; give it like 6 months more, s4's gonna come) lol

PROS:

AMOLED screen is THE BOMB :P

QUADCORE, insane fast

2100mAh, longer battery life (a lot of you complain, idk how u guys use ur phone :| )

Yadayadayada :))) you guys know the rest of the PROS
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mznatnat:
True I didn't know until after I posted in here and I don't wanna make the same post in their section
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mznatnat:
They complain because they use their phones hardcore. Plus it also depends on the rom they use. The last Tom I had before this one saved me so much battery life but with this new one I am plugged into a charger all day everyday. Just so I can use all the good features like Google now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bowtie4x4295:
Why is it such a problem moving large files, such as roms, to the sd card from a pc thru usb. It will stop and say something about camera has stopped. I had to put my sd card in the wifes HTC tb to put the rom on the card and put it back in the SG3 to install a rom. Am I missing something?

Thanks, Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrPeter1985:
I have this issue too and hate it big time.

I have to move 200-300mb at a time now.

Moving more is like never gonna happen. Wish they'd fix this. Hate to have to buy a micro sd OTG USB adapter just to move files around. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Try different cables. I am constantly moving large files around with no issues. In fact it's faster than moving files from my hard drives on my cpu. 1gig from sd to cpu takes less than 30 seconds. Faster from external sd/running sd speed boost.

Sent from my VZW GS3 running Synergy/LeanKernel/Dark Horse Rises
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bowtie4x4295:
Tried several, tried the one that came with the SG3, tried the one that came with the HTC TB, Tried a motorola. All with same result. Moving files off sd is no issue, just moving files onto sd from pc is problematic. Few songs at a time is no issue, but a ROM is not going to happen. Gets all the way done then states camera has stopped and will not go. I keep thinking I must have an option ticked incorrectly somewhere in the phone, but if it is, I can't find it.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Your in mtp mode, not camera mode correct? Loading onto sd is good for me, 800mb rom's load on I'm less than a min. Weird.

Sent from my VZW GS3 running Synergy/LeanKernel/Dark Horse Rises
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bowtie4x4295:
Actuall no I was in (PTP) camera mode. I just saw move any files. That must be the issue. I saw the MPT and thought it was just for syncing audio and such. Will try when I get off work. Thats probably the problem I was looking for, Thanks.

Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
I have the exact same problem (one I've never had with any other phone)

I was trying to copy blue-ray rips to my 64 gig sandisk card while the card was in the phone. I am using a brand new straight from the package cable that came with my second G3 (I have 2 phones). It starts to copy just fine, but quits 1/2 way thru & stops responding. every single time.

This is a brand new I7 PC that I just built a few weeks ago running Windows Seven Pro with 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM.

If I use a universal reader (even thru a USB HUB) the files copy just fine either from any of the three 2 terrabyte secondary hard drives or from the solid state boot drive to the card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
More than likely its as annoyingduck said, try mtp mode not ptp(camera). I think ptp is just optimized to do a 'camera' sync onto your computer. (for windows users, that annoying dialog box that pops up asking if you want to sync video, pictures, make a dvd, etc...)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I didn't realize I had the same problem as well. Awhile ago, I noticed that my data transfers would time out and I've only ever used camera mode. Thanks for the tip!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] noingwhat:
You could also give Airdroid a shot. It works over wifi so it's just a touch slower than the USB cable, but it's super solid and is wireless too!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blue6IX:
No mention of manufacturer, class or capacity of sdcard?

Makes a huge difference.

Also make sure to be using an OEM usb cable from a major manufacturer. Knock off or cheapy dollar store cables just don't cut it for charging, let alone transfer...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
I actually find it a shade faster than my pitiful USB 2.0 ports.

Takes about 5-10 minutes to xfer 700mb files on Airdroid. I think anyways, I'm guestimating from about 10 hours ago when I xferred a 700mb file. I wasn't on top of it but I'm pretty sure it finished closer to the 5 minute mark...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bowtie4x4295:
That fixed it, switched mode and tranfered a rom. First time it timed out, tried again and it went through fine. Was using the OEM cable with a 32 gb sd, not sure of class. I know its not a 10. Will take a look at Airdroid, thanks for that tip.

Thanks, Mike
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sean Hicks:
I like using samba wireless. It's free but requires root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmorton10:
Sandisk (junk, I've had three burn up) class 10

I can take the card & stick it in my Rezounds & it loads fine, put it back in the G3 & nothing but problems so I gave up and use a card reader.

Hi Everyone, I had made some guides for Galaxy S3 on my blog and thought it would be enough. But after seeing the same questions being repeated again and again I felt I will post them here as well in a single thread.

So here you go.

Samsung Galaxy S3 - GT-I9300

Part 1-

How to install a Custom ROM

This is a generic guide. Sometimes it may vary according to the ROM. So read the OP very carefully.

The main feature which distinguishes Android from all other operating system is the ability to tweak and customize the OS as per your liking.

If you are good at Linux commands and Java you can do this yourselves or you can install a Custom ROM prepared by other developers.

Before I start this, I would like to elaborate on what a Custom ROM or a ROM means. ROM in computer terms is Read Only Memory. It is specifically designed to be only accessible for reading and is not accessible to users for modifications. But in Android you can get access to this partition (if you are rooted)and make any changes you want to make.

For all practical purposes, a ROM is your Operating System or OS.

Now that it is out of the way, lets start.

Your Custom ROM is ready to be used.

Moving Back to Stock ROM

How to return back to Stock ROM: After you have played with Custom ROMs

In the Android world it is often said that "If you have not played with it, you have not used it". Most people who are familiar with the Android development play with Custom ROMs (Operating Systems). These are made by developers who know their way around the Android File system and programming language. The purpose is to get more out of each and every device.

Many android users use these custom roms to personalize their device to their liking. However, sometimes it so happens that you need to take the device back to the original state, the state it was in when you took it out of the box. The reasons for doing so may vary from:

Sending it for warranty repair

Starting afresh

Sorting out some bugs etc.

Please feel free to post your comments and questions.

Zoot1, you are an absolute legend! Well done, should hopefully stop some of the stupid questions.... or at least give us an easy answer, by directing people here.

Should defo be stickied.

I would suggest adding a bit about backing up EFS (I only say it cos I buggered mine a couple of weeks ago, and had a mild heart attack until I remembered I had backed it up!).

BTW, there is a spelling mistake in post 2 - How to backup YOU device.... should say YOUR device.

Don't know if I'm posting this in the right place (I hope I am).

Rooted my galaxy s3 using odin. CWM and su were installed. After booting up I got process.android.gapp has stopped working. Also playstore force closes and restarts when I try initiating downloads initially. Now it doesn't open at all. It just closes immediately it opens. What could be wrong? And what can I do?
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Step 1 would be to remove your google account..the clear data and cache from google framework services and play store...reboot...

If that does not work then ..backup your apps and data..boot into CWM recovery..wipe data and cache from there...hopefully this will resolve your issue..

Can i use this with a newly flashed custom kernel and rom ? without returning to a stock firmware ?

As far as I know you can only use this in Sammy roms..newer bootloaders also have built in protection against this so you may have to downgrade your bootloader..
[Galaxy S III General] DC_MTP:
This might be more of a Google account / app sync issue but I'll post anyway since I am using an S3. I've notice when flashing custom roms (factory resetting phone and wiping) and going through the initial Google phone setup with email my phone sometimes restore back all of my apps automatically ( it starts downloading them in the task bar right away) and brings back my home screen wallpaper and apps. Other times it doesn't do neither, don't know why. I always select the option to sync phone with Google account and check off the "keep my phone backed up". Is there something I'm missing?

My s3 can´t register to the net

Hi from Venezuela, I do not know if you are still here but I will try to ask for your help as my S3 wont register to the web

Hi, today finally I decided to update my S3 to the latest JB 4,3 rom, I used Odin 3.07 and the I9300XXUGMK6 Official update. Everything went fine but after the update was done I am unable to make or receive calls and a "Not registered to the net" appears. My phone is rooted and I can see my IMEI 15 digits when I go to the About tab. Also the compilation number JSS15J.19300XXUGNA7

I have read man y posts but I am getting more confused every minute I finish reading those posts

I started the phone in the download mode and

this is what I saw :

Odin Mode Product Name: GT-I9300

Custom Binary Download: Yes (2 counts)

Current Binary: Samsung Official

System Status: Official

All my apps are working okey and so does the phone but I can not make or receive a call. Please could you be so kind to suggest me what should I do ?

* The IMEI displayed in the status tab is the same as the one under the battery.

My phone is the factory unlocked international version.

There are a few threads about this already. Others have this issue and seems to happen when the volume is at mid to max range when unlocking. If it fails to produce the sound, then possibly hardware issue.

Are you using the stock handsfree set that came with the phone? (or did you test with them) Not all handsfree sets are compatible with the One X, resulting in problems you mentioned.

If you are, sounds like your headphone jack might be broken.. :mad:

If you have not unlocked the bootloader you could send the phone to HTC for repair though?
