Have fun with that DNA....

;)

I'll be happy with my superior device. Have fun with:

11gb memory

Incompatible apps

Giant menu button

Very little support

Heavy Sense

Awkward power button
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aooga:
lol. I hate the top power button on big phones like these. I cant even tell you how many times I've almost dropped my One X because of that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Itzvik:
Lol really now....Ill slap on a new launcher...and enjoy my quad core processor and 1080p screen hehehehe...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
Don't forget an extended battery to go with those...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Amphibliam:
I had the DNA, I like the s3 better tbh, but to each their own.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
I'll just go into the future and get my s4 and both of you will be crying :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] andybones:
with the M7 coming soon, the DNA is a lost cause,

I had one, and quickly dumped it..

the first HTC I've ever dumped.

I started with the

Eris

Inc1

Inc2

Rezound

Inc4

GNEX

DNA

SG3

very happy with my sg3

Well after these comments I actually went in to the Verizon store and played with it. I like it sense seems a bit different but easy to use. I don't use my phone 24/7 because I work 10hr shifts,...but it should last me a day or two on moderate use. I also played with the RAZR Max HD and it was great..defenetly a phone to look into.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Good luck on the 2 days of use....to achieve that, put your screen at the dimmest setting and put airplane mode on.

Honestly man, I'm trying to help you. Everyone wants the new toy. You will not feel any difference from your S3 except the screen. Sense bogs that phone down so hard that the home screen actually has lag.

Top-tier device with lag? No thanks. I played with one last night. My s3 is smoother. If it wasn't, I wouldn't be in here...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] renzinator:
Won't forget it just can't do anything with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Itzvik:
See, I disagree because I played with it today for at least 30 minutes. The Verizon rep kept coming to me asking me if I needed an upgrade lol...and I did not notice any lag. I opened Facebook and played a few games that were installed on the phone. I noticed that the phone needs a bit of tweaking with notifications and everything but other than that it was faster than the S3. I like the S3 because of the buttery scrolling but that is due to the scrolling affects. If I do not like sense I will just slap Nova Prime on it and be done with it :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] drbveb88:
I dont know how to live with only 11gb of memory.... 3 nandroid backups... 2 rom zips, some music, some naked pics (of my girl of course) and i would be getting that annoying "insufficient memory" crap..

No thanks. I will stick with my Clean-S3 and 48 gb of memory. :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AtariDroid:
NOOO! Not the DNA!!!

In all seriousness, get the Note2. Very nice step up from the S3. IMHO a 1080 screen is nice, but not worth all the other drawbacks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eaglesfan398:
You may not see lag at first but once you get all you apps and background services you'll see it lag. Htcs overlay really slows down phones. My s3 on the other hand hasn't slowed down yet even with a ton of apps and services running in the background. Also the s3 will most likely see more updates than the DNA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Endorsed. The Note 2 is the phone to have right now...

Look at the Dev support for both phones. Nuff said....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
Get WHATEVER you like. No card slot would be a dealbreaker for me, but who knows what other people's needs are. I have a 64gb card in my S III and it's almost full... but I also have a Nexus 7 with only 16gb and I deal with the limitations. Cloud storage is the next big thing for mobile devices, and if you're in a solid 4G area and don't have limited data, why not give it a shot.

Sidenote- I finally got to check out a friends Note 2 yesterday. WAY too big of a phone... for me at least... but it's a great device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Itzvik:
I agree, My dad has the note II and its huge....and he has it in an defender otter-box lol every time he bends down to do something his phone falls out of the clip.

I do not need a massive storage because I don't listen to music on my phone..I have a 32g I pod for that. I do take a lot of pictures though so I guess that I would have to transfer them to my PC every once in a while. The phone has more goods than bad but I will look into the lag and if unbearable then I will return it.

Thanks for the replies guys.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shaqdeez:
fyi - You could use "Sweet Home!" application to automatically send your pics in your gallery to your computer when you get to your HOME network and then you could auto delete it as well, if you want. Super neat app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mpetruzz:
If you can get two days out of the DNA then you don't even need a cell phone, lol. If you left it sitting on your desk with no use it wouldn't last 2 days. The screen is nice but personally no SD card, hardly any dev support and a locked boot loader are deal breakers.

Spending 30 minutes in a Verizon store is irrelevant when they're making sure you get a sick WiFi and 4g signal!!

I will make a prediction of your actual usage - 24 hours on battery, 5 minutes of screen time!!

I have a friend who works for HTC and have played with every device they have. Personally I think the battery life on their phones make them useless.

What is the general consensus on the nexus 4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
Let's see... no 4G LTE, only 16gb storage with NO card slot... a complete waste of time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
Cloud storage was set to fail the moment unlimited data disappeared. IMHO anyway.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] diljosh:
I used the DNA for a week, Just could not live with the Power button on top. Plus it is flush, really hard to use. The phone has an awesome screen and the build quality is amazing. But it has small quirks which make the over all experience bad. I also think my device had some radio problems, it kept losing 4G( Where my S3 gets full bars)

Just came back to my S3 again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
My sentiments exactly!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Listen, man - I get it. A new, shiny, powerful device is out and you want it. Suddenly the s3 looks like the old, fat girlfriend. However, after that "new, shiny car" feels wears off the DNA, you will miss your S3.

I promise.

Amazon's cloud service, AWS, crapped out today... taking Netflix with it. So much for living with 16gb. Nice having 80gb on my S III.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
and my GN2 :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobloblaw1:
AWS has been....disappointing. I wonder if this will open any doors for Azure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jguns112:
Honestly, you probably won't be disappointed with it if you want to get it. Get whatever phone you like the best.. just be aware of the pros and cons for each.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1ManWolfePack:
Huh.....got offered an employee edition DNA for $100 yesterday.

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Itzvik:
Well so far I have had the phone for a day and battery has been good. I have about 6 hrs of screen time and and my battery is around 75 percent.

I will admit that I miss the gs3 because it was a bit easier to use but this phone is amazing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] blestsol:
Sounds about right
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
So far from what i'm hearing the dev's are having a hard time modding the DNA. Somehow HTC started blocking partitions and when you reboot it dumps the mods. Will have to see what they come up with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightxFall:
Where did you get no lte..?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sRDennyCrane:
From every article about the Nexus 4 out there?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Itzvik:
There is lte but you need to do unlock it and use some mods.

Got a replacement DNA for my gs3. I love it. Its not for everyone due to limited storage, but the screen size and quality is amazing. Battery life has been at least as good as my gs3. Its to each their own. I have had many android devices, the DNA has been the most solid for me so far when it comes to basic functions such as reception and speed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Itzvik:
This is exactly how I feel today. I received mine yesterday and it has been awesome how sharp this device is.

Now, All that left for us is an easier. Method to debloat our phones.

There is no way you have 6 hours screen on time with battery being at 75%. I'm sorry but no phone gets that. But if you say so, please post pics.

In case this is true I'll take 10!!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
I know right!...I'd love to have 2 hours screen time at 75%. I'm sure the RAZR maxx can do it but I'm satisfied with my sgs3. Can get through a day easily. Gotta remember my galaxy nexus that had to be switched to 3G just to barely make 11 hours lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] luis86dr:
6 hours screen on time? Not even possible if you put the phone in airplane mode and ride with wifi... Lol. :rolleyes:

Band 4 only but it does indeed get LTE.

It may be a complete waste of time to you but for some being first in line for updates is enough. d2vzw just what a few days ago finally got nightlies for 4.2.1, this phone will always be behind the curve compared to the Nexus line. Now I'm not saying GSIII is a bad phone at all far from it, my opinion tho I am just partial to vanilla android

AND ABOUT THE BATTERY LIFE I USED MY PHONE CONSTANTLY yesterday and when I got home after 11+ hours of use I was on 20 percent. Overall I love this phone battery life....

But I am in the gs3 fanboy forum....I won't get my body to gree with me here he hehe....

If you go over top the dna forum there's lots of people arguing over battery life... I can't wait for my 3000mah battery I can't complain about my current battery life but that will just make it much better
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jknolls:
Listryl res

I was actually thinking about getting rid of my gs 3 for razr m because of mediocre battery. I know I can probably get an acceptable battery life if I tun this off and disable that, but that's really not why I have a smartphone. I heard razr m battery delivers pretty impressive time even with 4g turned on. But then I read about this new 3000 extended battery - maybe I'll just try that out ($65 is a lot for a battery though). Amazon sells 4000+ hyperion battery but the cover is pretty substandard!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndrewH05:
I doubt that... I get 6 hours on screen time with my GS3 but not with 75% battery left...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xXJay_RXx:
My brother got the DNA and I love the build quality and the screen. But that's about it. I really loved Sense at first when I have my Thunderbolt but it got old quick. I moved from the GS3 to the GN2 and the battery is nothing less of phenomenal. I never had a phone go a complete day without needing to charge but this phone did it. I mean its your decision but those two things are the only thing that I liked from the DNA. Plus no expandable storage n non removable battery (not like I'd be switching batteries often on the GN2 :p) was a huge thing for me. If it was 32GB I'd be okay with it. Whenever I get an iPhone its always 32GB. But the DNA only gets 11GB after the OS and everything, that's just not enough. Even with cloud storage, LTE isn't everywhere. When you hit a 3G spot and your music lags or your video gets choppy from streaming over 3G, you will miss the expandable memory. Here's my battery life that I get almost on a consistent basis. This include about 3 hours worth of calls which I forgot to take a screen shot of. I'm just saying man the S3 is a great device. And the only device out there right now that's better than it is the Galaxy Note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cell128:
I really hope galaxy s4 gets 6+ of screen time. It should be a few more months to unveil it and hopefully comw to the us by June like the s3. I see no reason to upgrade this at the moment except I tried to play vice city on max settings and it was very choppy. My nexus 7 played it perfect it looks so sweet I can't believe its ps2 graphics
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NightxFall:
Most ive ever gotten was 4 1/2 hours 0.o I wish there was a phone worth exchanging for right now. The reception on this phone is extremely frustrating and probably to blame for the poorer than best possible battery life. I don't want a massive phone like the note 2 and I wouldn't want to try my chances with another Samsung again anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AndrewH05:
I concur, the reception is horrible, though people on here try to say it's not, but I doubt they live in a low signal area. I seriously considered the DNA, but I think I'm going to take the Note 2 for a test drive and if it's not any better, try out the DNA. Without service and high speed Internet the S3 can be the greatest phone in the world with the best developers, accessories and options but it's worthless to me if I can't use it. So we'll see how it goes!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
Get same speeds and coverage with my SIII as I do my rezound and I barley get 4G in my bedroom.

Now when the SIII first came out? Was spotty. Now on the latest JB leak radio and rpm I always have 4G.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] yyhd:
I'm sorry, but I agree with everyone else here. Screen shots or it didn't happen.

I have owned sooooo many Android phones over the years. Moto Atrix, Moto Droid 2, Moto Droid X, Moto Droid Razr Maxx, HTC Hero, HTC Incredible, Inc 2, HTC Evo 4G, HTC Sensation, HTC Aria, HTC Wildfire 2, HTC Thunderbolt, HTC Rezound, HTC One X, Sammy Droid Charge, Galaxy S 2, Galaxy Note, GNex, Galaxy S 3, Galaxy Note 2. I'm sure I am missing a few too! And there is no way in hell any of those phones got 6 hours of screen time with 75% battery left...unless i was cheating and charging it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
Probably has a 3800 battery or some sh$t

No I had a razr maxx...not even with airplane mode on. I would be around 40-30% with 6 hrs of screen on time.

[HTC One X] juanvlieg:
Hi guys

Today today I wanted to root it and so I did. First i unlocked the bootloader and then i booted the root.

After a short time, I had no more service and it showed me, that I have no connection to cellular data.

This is kinda strange, because this happened from one moment to the other plus I can't use wi-fi (???). Also, my phone is stuck in airplane mode and I can't get

out of it, no matter what I do. I've already tried it via powerbutton and in the normal settings, too. If I want to turn wi-fi on, it durates a little time and then instead of

connecting to a wi-fi accesspoint, it shows "Error". In the settings, I can't chance the state of the airplane mode, it always shows me: "Turning off...".

Please help me! I really have no idea what to do, because I already tried:

- Rebooting Phone

- Set the phone to factory settings

- Putting another SIM-Card in slot

- Putting my own SIM-Card in another phone, what worked without any problems.

I'd be glad, if you guys could send me tips and responses as fast as possible.

Thank you!

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] owl74:
Hi all, today I have encountered an S-Pen issue with my modded Palm touchstone wireless charger with my Note 2. The issue seems to come when the palm unit is placed a little bit higher on the phone near the NFC antenna, but problem resolves when I move the charging unit away...

Looking at the Qi receiver chargers from the web, the coil seems to be on the top of the unit, hence it is near the NFC antenna. Question is, has anyone experienced problem with S-Pen ? I would love to hear your view on this as I am thinking of getting the Qi to replace my modded Palm charger.

Thanks

If you're having any issues it's probably the electromagnetic radiation from the charging unit interfering with how the phone detects the s-pen, I doubt there's a way to fix it.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumphog:
HI all, Ive got a desire z and have been running mimicry 1.5.0 for the last month, its all been great, no major porblems and seemed stable. Yesterday voice search stopped working (wasnt picking up anything from the microphone), so I rebooted and it got stuck in a boot loop. It would get just past the animation then reboot back to the HTC screen. This morning I tried deleting caches and user data but that didnt help, so I re-installed mimicry and google apps.

That seemed to work, Id got apps installed again, it had been running for a couple of hours, then the gps stopped working - no satellites found. I did a reset again then it got stuck in another boot loop. Its now in a state where wiping data and re-installing wont fix it. Strangely after reinstalling the first boot will work for a few seconds, enough to select a country, then it just resets and then gets into a loop again, but now it wont get past the end of the animation.Ive just tried 'CM9.1-vision-3.0-Final' and that does the same. I guess this is about the time that its turning wifi on, so maybe its a radio problem?

According to power+vol down:

VISION PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.84.2000 (PC1011000)

MICROP-0425

RADIO-26.03.02.18_M3

eMMC-boot

Sep 8 2010,15:56:38

Ive been trying a few things:

It doesnt matter if Ive got a SIM and/or microSD card in

Running off power or battery makes no difference

Ive flashed it back to mimicry 1.5.0 (its never rebooted in power+vol down or clockwork recovery) but there is some odd stuff:

Now even wiping everything and then installing mimicry, then google apps, I dont actually get maps etc.

It doesnt seem to want to power down, it says powering down, then reboots instead..

So Ive manged to get it back to a point where it will stay up for a minute or so, but trying to use the GPS / wifi seems to make it go back into a boot loop, although I did have it running for about an hour with wifi on without problems...

Ive captured some logs but none of them have anything that looks like major errors before they finish - none of them finish with similar entries anyway..

Any ideas what I can try to fix this?
