So does this mean that none of the tmo peeps have had no issues with their devices dying? I only ask because, I just got my galaxy last Wednesday. Had a couple quirks, but nothing's dead yet. Had a little issue with my music and swipe. When I would get my notifications tones say from email I would be listening to music, the sound would nearly drown out and stay that way till I paused my music and started again all was fine. I've been getting random screen flashes near the bottom of the screen, like a ton of lines like a glitch. Anyone else having this issue as well? Feel free to add anything else if you like.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
Sounds to me like you might have activated something in developers options, go in settings and see if you selected anything that would flash the screen if long processes are in use.

Nothing in dev out of the usual, only thing being ticked is the usb debugging, and turned up the animation scales, transitions etc to .05, animations were at 1, but I was using swype, only happens when using that. Any better keyboards I can download on the market better than the Samsung or swype?

Did you enable any traces? That would show depending on what you have checked. I was gonna try enabling a few to see what it does but it's not like it would ruin anything. I'll report back though to see if I can recreate it.

Edit nope that did nothing, hope you figure it out, I never had that happen before.

I guess it has something to do with that quad core exynos chip in the international version. I've owned various types of electronics and I've never had a single thing failing by itself. Electronics if you take care of them, they would last forever.

I hate to bash someone but I have the worst luck with picking quality cellphones.

For the Nexus S, there was also a problem with the first production batch that rendered the NAND memory useless after a few months (mine was 9mos). Then I read about this for the S3. One of the article also said that it's a NAND memory problem on the motherboard as well.

I suggest everyone to get an external sdcard and TB every night and store those pics/videos on them.

One more thing, Asurion is an insurance company. They've actually declined me in the past for warranty related claims. So, if my warranty is up, I just tell them that I dropped it.

mine just randomly died while listening to Pandora and they wouldn't factory warranty because the screen had a crack in it ...does anyone else think this sucks too . At least i had insurance but i still feel i should have to pay for hardware failure!!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
If his experience with asurion is anything like my past experiences, it is a huge pain in the ass. And being he has insurance, he should have gotten it next day from Tmobile for only $5. Without having to deal with asurion.

But at least they credited you the deductible. My wife has insurance therefore gets next day shipping, had to get a warranty T989, but has been waiting over a week and still no shipping confirmation. I would have gladly dealt with asurion to get the phone sooner. It will end up being close to 2 weeks for her to get her replacement.

Tmobile told me that all of their high end phones are on backorder due to holiday promos. That was an oops on someone's part. Expected higher sales=temporary high inventory.

Yeah took like 2 hours of *****in, asurion was great went smoothly, TMobile was a bunch of f wads

Looks like there is really no one with the TMO verision that is really having the problem vs the internation exnyos comparison. I think it has more to do with that then ours then I think.

Seems like there is less then a handful of people that had the problem with the TMO version
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
Those Tmo failure could be just random and it's not the widespread issue for the international one.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] freshjr:
Im going back to stock, just incase I get hit with the bug since I have no additional warranty besides Samsung. They should really fix all phones because this was not damage caused by custom roms.

Is this the right triangle away thread to follow? It seems like it to me, but i'd like to make sure.

Just to add my .02, I was on a conf call yesterday and the phone seemed like it was rebooting except it never turned back on. I didn't think much of it, tried to turn it on and nothing, it was like it didn't have a battery. Ran it over to the local tmo shop and we swapped in a charged battery, nothing. Since the phone was still under warranty they swapped it out, all I had to do is pay $20 shipping, I'm not going to ***** about that.

[Motorola Droid 3] nestorian:
so ive been doing a lot of research on all the different bluetooth controllers that are coming out...im thinking about getting one as well as an hdmi cable to use my d3 as a dedicated gaming console when im home. so i found these

phonejoy play- looks promising

http://www.phonejoy.us/

phonejoy analog- not as good as the hopeful concept above

http://www.phonejoy.us/shop/phonejoy-analog/

Ps3 controllers, wii. xbox 360, and onlive universal controller (i think this only works with the onlive app)

Great reviews for this one

www.powera.com/moga

So which one would all of you recommend getting? The first 2 mentioned support more than one controller for multiplayer through emulators. im a bit on the broke side and most of these are really pricey. do any of you know if the generic ps3 bluetooth controller works with the sixaxis app? also anymore of these that i missed?

I missed one, Green throttle, i believe this one also supports multiplayer

http://go.greenthrottle.com/products/

however this one wouldnt really work for me because im more of a QA than a Developer
[Motorola Droid 3] Die Bruine:
Check sixaxis controller in the Play store. There is a free compatibility checker. If it works you can use a PS3 sixaxis controller to play games. The program itself costs around $ 1,50 ( 1,29 EURO for me). Small investment if you already have a PS3 controller lying around.

I take it there should be similar programs for Xbox/Wii.
[Motorola Droid 3] nestorian:
Yeah xbox is only supported on 3.1+ and I'm still on gingerbreadand I unfortunately don't own a ps3

I wish I could use my vita, that would be pretty sick
[Motorola Droid 3] Die Bruine:
Don't know which games you want to play but you could take a look at the 8-bitty. That one's $ 29.99. Some emulators support the 8-bitty. But I have no idea about support in "regular" games.

[Motorola Droid 3] 5318008:
There's at least one free app on Google Play that'll let you pair multiple Wii remotes. If you have a Classic controller w/ dual analog, or want to go head-to-head in MarioKart64, that might be a good option for you. They're also slim and easy to pack along, plus if the batteries die they're standard AA. A couple Wiimotes and a modded Lapdock and you've got a pretty good portable emulator console.
[HTC One S] benly52:
I have had my HTC one S since June, never have I had any problems with it until about 20 minutes ago.

I was playing N.OVA. 3 when I couldn't decrease the volume. I would try and it would move upwards by itself. Then I exited the game, pressed the volume rocker down to lower the volume a few times and the volume went down, however then it went up on its own back to ringtone full volume. I then lowered it again, tapped the volume up one time and it highered up to high by itself once again.

I restarted it more than a few times and its still not working properly. Also, when it is getting jammed to high volume, I can't shutdown the device it is a force restart by pressing the power down button for 10 seconds. However for a split second when I can raise and lower the volume just fine, it gives me the option to shutdown if I would like.

I hope I made myself clear, it is tricky to describe but this is very frustrating. I would hate to have to send phone to get a replacement...sigh.

Also, I don't have any volume apps. I haven't downloaded any new apps in the last week.

RAM Management is being handled by Android OS. We dont have to do anything about it. See article on AndroidCentral:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
It may have something to do with the quantity of apps running in every phone.

Every phone has different apps installed.

I, particularly, do not use synching, wallpapers (live or static), weather apps, music effects, google maps, etc.

I either disabled these apps or froze them to make sure they won't run.

Most of these apps run automatically at phone boot-up, thereby consuming RAM.

You can check in Settings/Apps/Running what applications are mostly running on your phone, then you can try to disable them if you think you don't need them.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Svolacius:
How do you freeze the apps and prevent them from starting?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
In settings/apps/all apps, select the app you want to disable then disable it. If you have Titanium Backup, you can use it to freeze your chosen apps.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blusydays:
You can use App Quanrantine to freeze the undesired apps. I use it for almost 1 year and it works.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeusEx80:
Titanium backup or app quarantine are useful to freeze unused apps, but if you use an app you can't freeze it (or you must unfreeze it)

For used apps, you can use Autostarts to disable unwanted run of apps on phone startup, or after other events trigger in the background.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrippingSphere:
When you have big free RAM, it just means your Rom has only a few applications running, maybe because you removed all those apps that you feel are unnecessary or a Task Killer is killing the inactive apps.

See quote of Wikipedia on Android OS Ram Management:

"Since Android devices are usually battery-powered, Android is designed to manage memory (RAM) to keep power consumption at a minimum, in contrast to desktop operating systems which generally assume they are connected to unlimited mains electricity. When an Android app is no longer in use, the system will automatically suspend it in memory - while the app is still technically "open," suspended apps consume no resources (e.g. battery power or processing power) and sit idly in the background until needed again. This has the dual benefit of increasing the general responsiveness of Android devices, since apps don't need to be closed and reopened from scratch each time, but also ensuring background apps don't waste power needlessly.

Android manages the apps stored in memory automatically: when memory is low, the system will begin killing apps and processes that have been inactive for a while, in reverse order since they were last used (i.e. oldest first). This process is designed to be invisible to the user, such that users do not need to manage memory or the killing of apps themselves. However, confusion over Android memory management has resulted in third-party task killers becoming popular on the Google Play store; these third-party task killers are generally regarded as doing more harm than good."

Try changing kernel or increase RAM. Some kernels have an option to increase RAM.

I'm using C-Rom and I can say I don't experience lag on this Rom.
