[Galaxy S III General] illmatic24:
I loveee the over saturated colors of the super amoled screens! If I were to upgrade, the S4 would be my ideal choice over the HTC One for this sole reason.

I don't understand why people are complaining so much about build material/quality when most of the usage time will be spent looking at the display. IMO the GS3 is a sleek and sturdy device with a beautiful screen and Samsung has definitely delivered with a very worthy upgrade in every aspect. If the battery life holds up this phone will likely crush the HTC One.
[Galaxy S III General] delsus:
Anyone seen iPhone 5 drop tests, don't they chip and almost fall apart when they are dropped, that's aluminium for you not really a premium material.

Cooking foil is made of aluminum because it is a cheap material, not because its a premium material.
[Galaxy S III General] Gassity:
There's no need to change S3 on a new S4 if you don't have a contract. For me it was a disappointment. Same plastic **** with ololofeatures!? Wtf? Thinking of getting an iPhone rather.
[Galaxy S III General] sxi200:
That's what people said about the S3 when it was previewed.

Anyway, Samsung's first commercial:

http://www.businessinsider.com/heres-samsungs-first-ad-for-the-galaxy-s4-2013-3

I think it looks hot and different to the S3, and dare I say 'Premium'.
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Well that is the first time I have heard that explanation for foils made of aluminium... AFAIK aluminium is one of the most malleable metals on the heals of gold and silver...so they are beaten into foils being cheaper than gold and silver.. Though chipping should not happen as aluminum is malleable, aluminium absorbs the impact momentum protecting the innards of the phone..aluminium should not break once fallen however plastic might as its tensile strength is lower..
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Maybe not, but unless you are an experienced panel beater.... ;)

On the other hand plastic may break but cheap as chips to replace.....heck before long you will just go to a 3d printer and get a new personalised cover.....
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Well who am I to judge.. Everyone has his/her own perceptions..in my opinion s3 is well built.. Just the glossy plastic doesn't do it justice.. If Samsung could have come up with an alternative that would have been great... But all said HTC one is definitely a looker..here in India Sammy has launched so many phones with the same look that you will never be able to differentiate from a distance.. If I am paying for something I would definitely like to have some distinguishing feature in terms of looks... Some brand value you may say..call it vanity or pride.. That department is sadly forgotten by Samsung
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
I think, on first impressions, that the S4 is quite attractive, more symmetrical than the S3, aluminium bezel, and I always have a case on so the rest is immaterial, the only down side to the back is that it is slippery, but I would hate it is they went with glass, that is just idiotic in my very humble opinion :)
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
They could have used something like a brushed metal back cover and a brushed metal body.. We do put the phone in a case but then what is the use of making an anorexic phone ..S3 just looks like galaxy Grande which destroys the premium value..same will happen with S4 as well
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
O no, metal dents, really hinders the signal, and a lot of people's sweat and palm grease actually react very badly with metals, so for me that's a no no, although it does increase the scrap value of the phone! :D
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Then at least they should not make phones which look exactly like their flagship device and cost like an aging man's libido
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
My libido is errrrr....um.......cough....shuffles awkwardly......:D
[Galaxy S III General] zoot1:
Sorry my bad.. Didnt think bout you.. But then everything has a expiry date my friend
[Galaxy S III General] slaphead20:
Chortle chortle....you have to laugh....or you would cry! :o:D
[Galaxy S III General] DonPhelippe:
SGS3S more or less. And this is my initial impression. Also, crapwhiz. Hopefully CM10.1 and or CM11 will come soon enough, but that's no reason for me to drop my brand new SGS3.

Also, HTC One *COULD* cut it for me if it had microSD. Sorry HTC, but you lost me completely.
[Galaxy S III General] gchindi:
initial thoughts...

+ves

good overall improvement...

build quality better than SGS3 though not too superior

camera functions greatly improved

nice inbuilt apps could be used by some people atleast..its rather included than not being included..

display should be good compared to all other players in the market

imporved touchwhiz---though not too much but atleast some...need to do indepth review on this though to check how much improved it is..

-ves

what a mockery they made out of that key note presentation ---it was more of drama and less of phone and features around it...wont forget that for a long time..

same looks...same white and black variables...cant make any difference from a distance from most samsung phones nowadays..why call this flagship when all phones look same..

hardware - loudspeakers move from top to bottom (backside) just like SGS2..why??

millions of sensors included...not sure hom many people would know to sue it..which ay result in bad review instead..

most USP like features flaunted would not be used by so many on day to day use...like umpteem camera features, screen pause/play, scroll etc etc..

no attention given by sammy to improve the build quality...they just dont do it..unless and untill it backfires them one day..

Cloclusion --

Not a game changer..if you are using SGS3 (Im using)..

if someone is coming from anyother phone and any other manufacturer and thinking about getting an S3..they can easlity go for S4...its good decison in this situation...

it would not be a smart move from S3 to S4..unless you have own the latest...but dont see a valid USP..

Can easliy eait for 6 more months to decide before buying S4 and see what all software upgrades S3 will get..Im hoping most of the features should be given by Sammy officialy for S3...from S4.

S4 is a Nice phone...but as said above NOT A Game Changer!!
[Galaxy S III General] mwazeer:
For me s4 is game changer because of its 4g compability as s3 9300 version what i am using having after may be six months outdated 3g compability.
[Galaxy S III General] Kremata:
As state before the S4 is an EVOLUTION but not REVOLUTION. Let's be realistic here. The last Revolution in smartphone was the iphone3. It was the first phone to have only 1 button and completely controlled with a touch sreen. After that all the other phones were only evolutions of the iphone3.

To have a revolution now it would mean something like a chip phone implanted in our tooth/eyes and ears, or a phone that floats in front of us and obey to our thoughts.

Having this said, I don't know what people were expecting from an evolution of the SGS3.
[Galaxy S III General] shorty_blitz:
I bought a Sony Ericsson P800 back in 2002 which was touch screen, all be it with a stylus and a detachable keypad. How did Apple revolutionise the smartphone?

I then had an i-mate Jam in 2004 running Windows mobile, iPhone 3g wasn't released until 2008.
[Galaxy S III General] Darius_AWS:
The phone is really impressive, I mean it's a good looking phone and the battery life gonna be great ! anyway I'll stay with my SIII until the SV :)
[Galaxy S III General] Poshdaz:
Still going to have touchwiz, they won't release sources, it will be annoying and frustrating.
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
The non removable battery doesn't bother me in the slightest, SD card yes but when you can get the HTC One in 64GB that's more than enough storage for most people.

They are not so called high end looking phones, they are in fact high end premium which if your paying big money you should get.

Imagine buying a car that had had all the features you need under the hood but looked cheap on on the outside, that for me is akin to the Galaxy S4
[Galaxy S III General] jonny68:
I have a Samsung Tocco from years ago which has an aluminium back and ive dropped it countless times and not once has it ever smashed so that blows that argument out the water
[Galaxy S III General] SJGSM:
I love the S4. It is just what the S3 should have been in first place..... I think it is the starting point of the real serious mobile telephony And should be the standard to follow for everyone else....:rolleyes:

Up to now before the S4 Mobile phones where just mere TOYS....:p
[Galaxy S III General] Theshawty:
Why the hell is there an S4 thread here when we have an S4 forum? This ought to be locked..
[Galaxy S III General] shafez:
How many will use the new features of the S4?, It will be like the 9 days wonder and then some eye candy to show friends what the phone can do and later will just make calls.
[Galaxy S III General] The-Captain:

[HTC Rezound] adamsaur:
I need a replacement vibrator motor (the wires on mine became loose and came out), anyone know where to get one?
[HTC Rezound] UgXvibe:
Maybe this? Closest I could find to our phones.

http://www.totobay.com/htc-t8585-hd-g14-sensation-g11-incredible-s-vibrator-original_p33566.html
[HTC Rezound] adamsaur:
I think ill wing it and buy another models vibrator off ebay. Thanks though.
[HTC Rezound] wildstang83:
You might get lucky and actually find an entire Rezound for parts for cheap if you look around. People get rid of these things all the time for broken screens or whatever else.

http://www.ebay.com/ctg/HTC-Rezound...1&_trksid=p5877.c0.m1539-state-15_all_qqq_qqq
[HTC Rezound] P_Versh:
So which vibrator ended up working for your Rezound. having the same issue.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
+1. Same here. Popped it out to fix screen issues one too many times and red wire is now loose.

Just found this and ordered one. Will report back whether it works. Willing to take a $7.75 (incl. shipping) chance, since most of the "as is" and/or "for parts" rezounds are desparately overpriced you-know-where. Note also, Repairs Universe does *not* carry this vibrate motor.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[HTC Rezound] Bob94571:
Also Interested if this works, looking forward to an update.
[HTC Rezound] P_Versh:
p

Hey hgoldner,

Did you receive the vibrator yet? if so was it compatible?

Thanks, P_Versh
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Nope, not yet. I did, however, secure an Evo 3D motor elsewhere and installed it today. Works just fine.

There are others still there. Here's what my search results revealed just today.

I think the units with the white connectors that match the Rezound connectors are probably fairly stock. I'm getting ready to sell the Rezound I replaced it in (bad proximity sensor; already have a replacement unit), but if I still have it when this other one arrives from overseas, I'll give it a whirl (unless I can tell from looking at it that it's the same thing), and report back.
[HTC Rezound] cristianpark:
Anything on this could help me too. It seems mine has malfunctioning vibrator too. I haven't noticed this until weekend, I had stock and not having so much calls so I can't say if it vibrates good, I flashed Cyanogenmod and notice the bug, in stock it doesn't vibrate and I'm thinking this is hardware related so your info will be valuable
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Received the Totobay vibrate motor at last. It's a perfect fit for the Rezound.

My name's Harold and I'm a flashaholic.....
[HTC Rezound] cristianpark:
Thanks for your answer hgoldner, a friend and I must buy some motors for a couple of Rezound that need one, in the link of ebay you provide in your post of May 7th seems like HD 2 vibrator fits too. We'll try and get back to this thread to let you guys know which one works for us
[HTC Rezound] adamsaur:
Sorry for the super late reply. Ended up getting a s3 and put the rezound in the draw. Just went and revived it and fixed the screen and got a vibrator motor for it from ebay. It seems like almost all htc motors work. I got an EVO 3d one and it works like a charm.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/121138885302?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
Yup. Got an extra one here if anyone needs it. Will sell at my cost and ship for free to USA only.

Hope that doesn't violate any xda rules.....
[HTC Rezound] rsage:
May take you up on that - my motor is almost completely dead. I see where it is when the back cover is off - is it just a matter of removing the four small screws on the red shield to get to the motor?
[HTC Rezound] hgoldner:
It's 6 screws, but yes, that's it. It's easily visible once you remove that plastic plate. Using a small flathead screw-driver you can pull the connector from the port, and the motor itself lifts easily out of the mount. Then all you do is plug in the replacement motor and slip it into position and you should be good to go.
[HTC Rezound] cristianpark:
We finally bought the replacement from etradesupply. This part seems to get easy damaged so I recommend every Rezound owner to get one replacement if he/she wants to have the Rezound for a couple of years
[HTC Rezound] mentallo:
I gotta get a replacement also. I order one from Totobay also.

Stupid question from not a very handy guy, what screw driver do I need to open the back from the rezound?

thanks
[HTC Rezound] mentallo:
I was able to successfully install the vibrator I got from Tatabay (took about a month to arrive from china). It fit fine but the attached cable is longer than the Rezound one which you must have to loop around. The main difference is tough that the weighted metal part that spins is actually smaller than the original and therefore the vibration it produces is more high pitched than the original. Not a huge deal but just thought I'll let you guys know that it's not exactly the same.
