[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MikaHakkinen:
If you buy a GSM phone that is subsidized by a carrier, it will be mostl likely "locked" to that particular carrier. Unlock codes are generated based on your phone's unique IMEI number. Actually some carriers will give you an unlock code provided your account is in good standing. T-Mobile does that. I am with AT&T, and I have never had any issues getting unlock codes from them before my trips overseas. Your mileage however may vary. As far as getting an unlock codes from a third part company, not sure, I belive there is some risk with revealing your phone's IMEI number because of "phone cloning", but that's more up CDMA valley, not GSM. Hopefully you're not banned from Google. Do some research.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biophys:
Hello, I ordered the official Samsung MHL-to-HDMI adapter for the S3/Note 2, hooked it up, and my TV is not recognizing it. I saw that there were some fakes out there, but this one seems to be official. It says Galaxy S3 on the box and the model is EPL-3FHUBEGSTD. I ordered it from Amazon, though the source of the product was a company called ExertaTech.

I hook it up to the TV, the phone says that an HDMI is connected and will allow me to view the home screen in landscape mode. The phone is also charging through the adapter. The TV is a Samsung UN46B6000VF LEDTV, which while not brand new, is only a couple of years old. The TV recognizes that the HDMI is plugged into something, but when I selected the HDMI port it says no signal. I've tried every combination of switching HDMI cables and ports, turning the phone and TV off, unplugging and replugging every part of the adapter, etc.

Anyone have a similar problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chints108:
TV Firmware

Have you checked whether your TV has AnyNet+ ? It is a firmware that comes on new Samsung TVs...if there is no firmware like that, you should check your product's website and see if you can upgrade the firmware...so AnyNet+ comes with...i also have the cable...but I got a Sony TV...so pointless purchase...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biophys:
It does have AnyNet+, which works with my Blu Ray player. The problem ended up fixing itself. Or perhaps I should say that the TV decided to work how it's supposed to. My TV is occasionally a bastard and won't recognize HDMI devices plugged in, whether it's my phone or my computer. I finally got it to recognize my computer, then hooked up the phone and it worked so huzzah! I just have to put up with a finicky TV.

I thought the adapter worked with any brand of HDTV? I know I saw a video demonstration of it being used on an LG without any issues.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droiduser1996:
Hi I believe I bought the same cord as you. Is it red? With 3 cords connected to it? Anyways I'm having the same issues as you were. I plugged my gs3 into the cord that plugs into the power source usb and the hdmi and my tv isn't recognizing my phone. But my phone says connected to hdmi. When I look at the device list on my tv it says aynet device list and my phone doesn't show up on the list. If you figured out how to fix this issue I'm having please let me know.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
I had problems and solved it by turning phone off, then connect cable, then turn it on again, after that it recognized it
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
If you had the Verizon S3 (not another carrier)

Can you please compare :

1. Audio Quality

2. Reception (which drops more calls or fades in and out).

3. Battery Life (preferably battery life based on total talk time than surfing or playing games).
[HTC Droid DNA] stkiswr:
Hmm I don't even have to own the DNA to answer

1. Call quality has always been great for me on HTC

2. Samsung cdma radios don't compare to htc

3. Battery life has,been stated to be the same or marginally worse than the gs3.

Gs3 is a great device. Prob gonna come down to what u like better, sense or touch wiz. But DNA should be a very nice device.
[HTC Droid DNA] bc760:
I'll be able to share more once I get it in my hands this coming week, should be here by the 20th 21st the latest. I love my S3 nothing wrong with it but I love new devices and keeping up with technology. I will say off the back build quality has always always been better with HTC.

I'll share more once I get the phone!
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
As far as 1 goes - MANY of their devices had problems with BT over the years - you could hear fine but the person you were calling would get reduced volume etc - some of them they fixed this issue with firmware updates.

As far as 2 goes, the EVO on Sprint was great - the EVO 3D had similar problems to the S3 for reception.

When some people get the phone, we'll hopefully have some detailed analysis of talk time comparisons.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
Forgive the blunt nature of my reply, but what part of "If you had the Verizon S3" was it that didn't quite come across as clear in the original post?? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HTC Droid DNA] TheBiles:
Well, the DNA isn't even out yet, but I'm definitely switching from my S3.
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
Is that because of radio issues or because you want 1080p?
[HTC Droid DNA] TheBiles:
I want dat screen, but I definitely do have weak signal issues on the S3.
[HTC Droid DNA] stkiswr:
Pardon my blunt nature when I say that,you asked a question pertaining to a phone that is not officially available so you must have asked this question in an open forum hoping the 4 or so people that have the device would reply :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Take my advice with a grain of salt then but I am sure it will be an accurate answer to your question about this mythical phone until its release date and the masses own it.

at what point do I have to currently own the gs3 to be able to tell you about it. Maybe I have had extensive hands on with the device in such extent that I feel I can accurately talk about it.
[HTC Droid DNA] the_passenger:
I pre ordered mine, will get it soon. Only thing is that I wont be able to move my microSD card from the S3.

I just hope that ifixit teardown will reveal a hidden sdcard slot in the back some where then I will be happy. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
that would be awesome man! you think there is a place for one?

and i will be going from 32 gb s3 to the dna! for yes the screen alone!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
You've doubled down on your ignorance. I am not the one that asked the original question.

Aside from that, take a look around. There are plenty of people that have already received these phones, and have been doing reviews on them. I think his question was quite legitimate, and think this thread would be better suited to include responses that are directly related to his question, including my own, which is why I'm dropping this now.
[HTC Droid DNA] stkiswr:
Then my apology to the op. I thought you were the one who posted that nonsense but now I see your just another person who actually didn't start this thread but happened to bash other people's responses. Troll much?

To the op, I apologize as my comments were not directed towards you. I felt as though I gave you an honest reply which is on the basis of your thread and this asshat has to chime in. The phone still isn't officially available.
[HTC Droid DNA] the_passenger:
If the Butterfly has room for one then I dont see why the DNA has no room.
[HTC Droid DNA] raymond513:
Its not that there is no room, the general consensus is that verizon requested not to have one to make people use more cloud storage and thus more data.
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
Yes, but someone is selling a micro sd card specifically for the DROID dna leading to some speculation that the slot exists, just no opening for it.

I for one would be willing to open it up to put a "permanent" sd card in there.
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
I would be too! Hope somebody tears into this thing lol how long until we know something? Lol

Not an iPhone.....
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
Just because someone in china put droid DNA in the title of their ebay listing in hopes to get more sales doesn't mean there is a slot for it.
[HTC Droid DNA] flaring afro:
This. I find it extremely likely that the board is the same as the Butterfly's meaning there's the pins for a sd slot to be put in or possibly even an actual sd slot that isn't accessible from the outside, yet there's no way that ebay seller knows of this.
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
Alright so when is somebody going to open one up??? Lol

Not an iPhone.....
[HTC Droid DNA] tdetroit:
Yup. Switching from my S3 to the DNA. Spouse will get my S3 since the spouse is still rockin' the HTC Thunderbolt. I've always loved HTC's construction. Battery seems to be pretty good, and I have access to chargers at the office so I'm not too worried. My S3 makes it through the entire day on one charge and several reviews stated that the DNA is just as good. I LOVE my S3 but I don't like the plasticy feel of it....it all comes down to personal preference. As far as the storage is concerned-well, I'm not worried about that because I have the 16GB S3 and I have over 1000 pictures on it and several videos and I still have close to 7GB free, and my 32GB SD card is not even being used. I'm not a gamer, nor do I watch TV or Videos (except YouTube) on my phones, so it's a non-issue for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] Trooper Thorn:
Changed from the Galaxy S3 without looking back. This is a tremendous phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
When people get a chance to compare the Verizon S3 to the DNA (People who have actually used BOTH phones - as in owned the S3 but now are using the DNA), I'd really like to know how the DNA compares to the S3

1. As far as call quality,

2. As far as dropped calls or reception

3. As far as talk time/battery life
[HTC Droid DNA] luke1333:
what is battery like?
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
Hopefully a few people who had the Verizon S3 will be getting these soon.
[HTC Droid DNA] tdetroit:
Just talked to my local Verizon Rep, and she has 15 in-stock (one of the largest Corporate Stores in the Detroit area). I told her that I'll be there at 10AM (when they open) tomorrow morning!!!! I remember when the Thunderbolt came out and I wanted to get one for my spouse....I went out on Release Day and had to drive to four different Verizon Stores in the Detroit Metro area until I found one. Not waiting until afternoon this time....be there when the doors open....beat down any old geezers or hipsters that try to cut in line before me (I'm KIDDING)
[HTC Droid DNA] keminu:
ok

I dont think I will try to use another.
[HTC Droid DNA] jdk2:
Damn, I'm glad I live down here :laugh:
[HTC Droid DNA] 17akota:
Mine will be here tomorrow and I can not wait! I'm also coming from the vzw S III and the latest JB Medem isn't too bad for me at the moment, but the DNA has dat screen....

I don't mind the no SDCard slot since I use DropBox, Google+ and other Cloud services to keep all of my pictures and videos. And I still have unlimited data and connected to WiFi while I'm at my house so not a big deal at all.

This is my first HTC phone and I kinda liked the look of Sense but heard bad things until I read about the Sense4+. Seen good reviews about it.

Can't wait to get my DNA and do a S3 vs DNA video on my channel. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
Might try this comparison from pocket now.

[HTC Droid DNA] TheBiles:
Oh god this screen is insane.

[HTC Droid DNA] nrfitchett4:
Well, don't think it's Verizon fault you switched the line the Maxx was on. Keep insurance on all your lines and that won't be a problem.

The DNA supports usb host so you can set up a usb stick for those 5 hour flights. Or take it back and get something that better fits your use case.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
You seem to have a firm grasp of the obvious. Kudos to you sir...

Where did I blame Verizon? I simply pointed out the fact that it is no longer insured, and I now need to take a different path to fix it. Thank goodness it's still under Motorola warranty, or it would be a $600 paper weight. If the battery were replaceable, this wouldn't be an issue.

That might not be a bad solution if it actually works, though it's a bit cumbersome considering it will now also require a Micro USB adapter; I'll look into it. That still doesn't detract from the fact that it's a completely ignorant decision to delete this feature from what could be a complete package. It's like putting snow tires on a Ferrari.

EDIT - FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING, IT SEEMS THAT USB OTG MAY NOT BE SUPPORTED, AND THEREFORE THE DNA WOULD NOT READ A USB FLASH DRIVE

...but for 82 cents (and free shipping), I'll try it out:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005FUNYSA/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&seller=

But wouldn't it be really cool if technology would allow a phone manufacturer to actually integrate a feature like removable media INTO a phone??

(yes, that's sarcasm)
[HTC Droid DNA] kenvil1:
Well, the DNA isn't even out yet, but I'm definitely switching from my S3.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
???

It came out yesterday.
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
Wired4Fun.

Thanks for the review!

Hopefully in the coming week you'll get a chance to determine more about the battery life between it and the S3.

I have plenty of people who ask me to repeat myself on my S3 which they did not do on the ET4G. Also I get more dropped calls than I did on the ET4G although my EVO3D had the same problems.
[HTC Droid DNA] geoff5093:
Yes it did, it came out yesterday 11/21.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
I went into this phone with high hopes for the battery, but I am quickly becoming disappointed...

Currently at 12% battery with less than 10 hours on the phone. Heavy usage, but really no different than any other day, except fewer phone calls due to the holiday. I dunno, maybe the battery meter needs to calibrate? I'll let you know when it dies completely. I've attached a screenshot for now.
[HTC Droid DNA] TheBiles:
I have over 50% remaining after 10 hours of moderate use. *shrug*
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
Would you mind posting pics of the battery details? I'm very curious what the differences are.

Has your wifi been on all day?

Same for bluetooth?

What about data usage? 4G, etc?

Is GPS on or off?

Do you have any apps set to sync automatically?

Made many phone calls?

Watched any movies?

Surfed the net?

Etc...

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
Thanks - that is indeed sad news but that is the sort of comparison that really helps.
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
I've been using the DNA for two days now and coming from an AOKP'd S3 with Pimp my ROM, I can tell you it honestly doesn't feel much different. Anyone who tries to say it's vastly superior to the S3 is outright lying or just blinded by spec sheets. The reality is, they're not much different. The exception being that the colors are better on the S3 for the camera and video playback. Audio quality is horrible with Beats on unless it's at very low levels. You can't adjust the Beats audio settings either like you can with the installation from PmR. Voice call and reception/battery life is equal to, if not better than the S3.
[HTC Droid DNA] Mooselips:
I just tried the speaker on both GSIII and DNA, it sounds like GSIII is better, and definitely louder. Can anybody else compare? Maybe mine is defective? I thought it's supposed to be better with amps and such.

On the other hand, connected to the speaker, DNA sounds better by a lot. I tried Beats Pill. Same with Beats Studio headphones.

If somebody can test which loudspeaker is better/louder, I'd like to know if mine is the way it should be.

Sent from HTC Droid DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
Battery life equal? That is interesting. Do you mind if I ask how much voice you use per day? I use about 2.5 hours per day w/ BT headset on all day so voice & battery are very important to me.
[HTC Droid DNA] TheBiles:
The call quality and signal reception on the DNA curb-stomp the S3. I can finally use my phone in my basement without losing signal now. I've actually gotten equal or better battery life on the DNA thus far. Easily getting through a 15 hour day with normal use.
[HTC Droid DNA] Wired4Fun:
As far as 'curb-stomp', my experience with the DNA is a little different. To me call quality is nearly identical to the S3. There is an exception on bluetooth though, as my DNA does not quite seem to have the same range. With the S3, the bluetooth signal is fairly clean until I lose all reception at approx 30 feet. So far, on the DNA, if I get more than about 15-20 feet, the call quality actually starts to get quite 'fuzzy' as if I were on a walkie talkie, though it is VERY clean otherwise. I'm using a Bose BT2, which has worked flawlessly on my Evo 3D, Razr Maxx, Galaxy S3, Incredible, and Rezound. Best BT reception for me has been on the Maxx, and believe it or not, the Rezound had excellent range also.

Again, to me, it sounds about equal on the DNA as it does the S3, but for some reason, the DNA doesn't quite seem to have the same range as the other phones.
[HTC Droid DNA] boe:
Thanks - that is an important item to me as I use BT all day long.
[HTC Droid DNA] Bigandrewgold:
You do realize you are comparing a romed up s3 with a stock DNA. That is just stupid.

And you must have a ten dollar pair of headphones if it sounds bad above low levels.
[HTC Droid DNA] pitbulledEvo:
I have to agree on this. I have noticed the sound is way better on this device then others. I use skullcandy headphones. I can't remember the exact model number, but they were 129 at sprint when I got them. As for the Galaxy S 3 coming to the DNA, I can't comment on that but 6 of my friends have the s3 so we've done side by side comparisons and most of them besides 1 die hard TouchWiz fan, of all things are getting the DNA.
[LG Optimus 2x] FailWhale20:
I downloaded a 720p tennis highlights video earlier today onto my phone so I could watch it later. However, it is lags unbearably on my phone; I use MX player to watch it. In fact, for some reason I can't use any other players to watch it.

I'm on CM10 nightly official, and the kernel is default CM.

Anyone else perhaps have information on this? Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
use mediainfo first to show the profile, usually use profile High L4.1. HH can't handle high profile, you should rip again and change to Low Profile.

im using cm10 nightly only.......using mx player latest.....i can play 720p videos without ny glitch easily using s/w decoder without converting.....for 1080p playback i use h/w decoder it also plays pretty smoothly....i watch a lot of movies in my phone only LOL:o
[LG Optimus 2x] FailWhale20:
It might have something to do with the fact that the video I downloaded was in 4 separate .rar files which I had to extract.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
and what's the audio codec? dts or mp3 or what? i use mx player and cannot get the sound because it's dts. using CM7 and symbiosis kernel
[LG Optimus 2x] Rayman96:
Think about bit rate.

It may be to high. But I think it isn't so maybe container has Codec which isn't he supported.

[LG Optimus 2x] lemoon:
yeah, I also think it maybe container has codec which isn't supported, the MKV, I would suggest you to convert the MKV videos to 720p MP4 videos.

Just get a video converter like formatfactory or Aneesoft online.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rayman96:
Mkv and mp4 are containers lol.

By conversing, chose mpeg2 or MPEG4. Also h264 is supported but it have very strong compression so it may be unplayable.
