I've had my S3 for a couple of weeks now, and while I've decided to abstain from the ROM merry go round for the time being, I have a list of things I'd like to see:
1. Changeable mouse pointer. It's too small and I can't really see it very well.
2. I don't see a way to select the back/menu/home buttons with my Bluetooth mouse.
3. I have the MHL adapter and need to be able to change the overscan in landscape mode. Also audio won't come out of the HDMI interface.
Otherwise it's an amazing device. This is a pretty short list, maybe I'll come up with more later. So far so good.
Pet Peeve 1 can be fixed by going on the "ROM merry go round"
1.) group sms in the stock messaging app does not properlywork
2.) Vibration cant be customized for notifications wit the built in program that lets you change vibration patterns

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. If I can find enough reasons to make me want to switch.
No "Stay awake while charging"
Unlocked Verizon GS3
For me, No Google Wallet...
Things I have issues with currently:
Wifi is off, would you like to turn it on? or there are wireless networks available notifications. I have them disabled when opening a high data app with mobile data enabled, they still popup and are super annoying. There is a hack I need to try for this.
The MTP mount for media transfer to your SD card. It requires special drivers and makes it difficult to transport many files at once to or from and does not allow it to mount UMS (universal mass storage) which previously was the standard to work with car radios, dvd players, etc. I have a hack in place using a script now that allows me to mount UMS for my external SDCard, but is still an annoyance.
If you use a 32GB or greater sdcard, it has to be formatted by the phone or in windows to extfat32, which is an enhanced version of the FAT32 file system allowing for greater than 4GB files and a less heavy table of contents using more processing. This would be great except its Microsoft proprietary and because Samsung doesn't have the full specs on it, it loses and corrupts files on the card quickly when you start using it. Also, ROMS cannot support it, it was designed by MS to be hazardous to open source and GNU licensing. There are tools you can download to format FAT32, which I have had to do.
S Voice, it kind of blows. I miss my quick button press to open google voice command which is roughly 5x better, now S Voice is opened when I double tap home and I have to unlock my phone and go to the google widget and hit the mic to call on google voice which lowers the convenience of voice commands drastically.
The Samsung internet browser is lacking. It does not resize text to fit the screen on double tap properly and makes it more difficult despite the large screen. It keeps webpages loaded in memory even after reboot unless you close them in the window manager which you have to scroll to the top of the page and click a button instead of being in the menu button menu. It opens a new window often when I click on links....
The modem and radios are weak and unstable at times. I am constantly dropping my data connection in known good areas and with wifi. To top it off, I get the wifi notification AGAIN to connect to a network when that happens.
It has an overactive screen auto brightness which makes pics I view look like crap when they are actually not too bad if the screen wasn't on minimum brightness.
Settings are not in great order. There are three different settings and areas portraying just to haptic feedback. Did you enable it under sounds? What about disabling it being disabled again by default every time power saving mode is enabled? Did you change the vibration power from zero? Um....
Samsung has way too many unnecessary notifications of its own cluttering the notification screen. I get four from just plugging in headphones. Wireless notification is always there by default.
Boot time can be much faster, its actually internally boot looping in order to check authenticity of system files to void warranty claims if custom. The new unlocked boot loader boots in at least half the time, maybe less. Don't like the 4G LTE boot logo or loud unnecessary noise on boot either.
Verizon is dumbing down the search in the next OTA update and all phones from mid-July already are updated because of the apple patent lawsuit that disallows searching of local content on a mobile device on devices not running iOS!? I know I'm not taking that update.
Thank you thank you thank you for the unlocked bootloader leak now.
Things I like:
This list would be long, but I'm just going to say it is an amazing device for media consumption with its screen and features, battery life is impressive, the cameras are great, its fairly smooth and fast in navigation, and it just looks great now that I've got a case on it. Makes iPhones look fat and stubby. I have been having a blast with NFC tags, put one on my chest freezer to automatically open up the drink up page on untappd for checkins when I grab a beer. Soon I'll be making a few pages online that I can edit so that I can program NFC tags with the links and remotely manage the content they bring up.

I switched to the Chrome browser which is a lot better than the stock one. I like that I can sync pages from my desktops.
It doesn't have reception as well as a Motorola would/did. Not sure if these upcoming updates will make reception better but I get weak reception in places my DX never had a problem with. Probably jump on a RAZR around tax time if nothing improves by then... Only issue

I use another app called "Stay Awake." It's nothing more than a 1x1 widget. Although, every time I reboot my phone, I need to toggle the widget again. The setting doesn't stick on a reboot.

Although, Chrome doesn't reflow text to fit zoom in/out of a page. Neither does the stock browser, as mentioned previously.
Opera mobile browser is my new default on the Galaxy S III and has been quite fast, reflows zoomed text wonderfully and Opera Link provides a synch with desktop Opera.

I haven't seen any threads like this so decided it would probably be a good idea to get one going of all the minor gripes we have or bugs that we've encountered as I've already seen a few. I'm not sure if HTC do have a researcher scouring the net for threads like these to try and find out what the general masses think, but one can only hope...
+ LED notification is absolutely rubbish.
My phone is next to my Hero today as the numbers are being ported and I just received an email to my Gmail. With the phone lying vertically under my screen I could barely see the flash from the Sensation (to the extent that I'd already missed one mail) whereas the Hero was flashing away in all it's beauty to let me know.
+ Phone rebooted when taking a photo.
I've only taken a few pics on here, but after taking one of the dog last night with the flash on, the phone instantly turned off and completely rebooted. Maybe it's a one off, but it definitely wasn't good! Will have to keep an eye out for this happening again.
+ Trace seems a bit hit and miss.
I used Swype on my Hero so am assuming I just need to learn how to use the new one. I'll have to work on that one myself although it may be a case of training the phone not to pick out the most obscure word possible when all I want is to spell "hello".
I haven't really used it enough to spot any others, but I'm intrigued as to what other issues people seem to be finding.
...and on a side note I'm really, really missing the trackball that's on my Hero. Selecting text is so sensitive and I keep catching the wrong bit. I feel quite sad letting the little guy go. He's served me so well!! It does feel like a toy now when I go back to it. Lo-res and chunky!
Good call, I was thinking of such a thread myself.

Can't say I've had either of these. Have taken a lot of photos and about half a dozen 1080p videos, everything seems very stable.
Allow me to add a bug to the list:
+ No shutter button or menu options on camera.
If you have a lock pattern set up, dragging the camera icon into the ring on the lockscreen results in the camera app loading, but there is no user interface. You can see the camera's view, but there is no shutter button or options or anything else to interact with. However, the camera app is fine if accessed as normal from the home screen or app drawer.
Is trace supposed to learn from your usage to better predict words in the future?
I agree on the trackball, I used to have a HTC Magic and selecting text is a lot harder now!

This is quite annoying. I really like the idea of quick access to the camera, if it actually worked.
I don't have this issue with the camera. I did change some of the shortcuts though and may have re-added the camera one myself. Try that, see if it fixes it.
Edit: oh wait, I see what you mean. Only happens when you have a pattern lock...
Trace is useless. I used Shapewriter on my Nexus and it was amazing, but keyboards don't scale well to higher res. Plus it's been off the market for a year, so I'm not holding out much hope for a qHD version.
Vodafone ROM - Has no rosie launcher (like stock rom), I dont actually use the pattern lock, but i have seen the error with the camera launcher, this is a problem too, possibly we may see a fix for this and others with a minor update.
The LED is rubbish, actually borderline pointless. I've not seen it flash once today despite receiving about 5-6 emails. Maybe if the phone is actually facing you in a holder then it would show, but otherwise it may as well not exist.
For some reason my signal seems pretty sketchy on the Sensation. I usually have full at home, but if i'm holding it sometimes I get nothing

Sound with video
Has anyone experienced a problem where sound from video cuts out after a short time?
I'm having the issue when playing through the speaker and headphones, on different files and when using different media players.
If I forward the video on slightly the sound returns, almost as if the sound output is going to sleep with inactivity.
Another bug, added few apps on homepage, those apps icon are changed to Android green icon after restarted the phone.
Maybe this problem is caused by moved apps to SD card. I don't know.

That would be the case. When you create a shortcut it creates a link to a resource on the phone. When you move that resource you get the default icon instead.

Well everything about the android is good and getting better, but weve seem to have neglected the physical hardware. namely the power button.
This application will wake the phone for 10 seconds when any notification(theoretically) is received. this includes changes to existing notifications too. this will reduce the need for using the physical power button to turn the phone back on, this is very usefull for IM apps, email, or things that require short reaction timespans(for many people SMS)
In combination with the notification power widget(or another app that can turn off the screen) you can reduce the use of the button and preserve its lifespan.
This app leverages the accessibility api of android to detect when notifications are changed, and accessibility must be enabled by the user.
installation: install like you would normally(from attachment) and then go to settings > accessibility options > NotifyWake
it will run only when its been selected from the accessibilty.
P.S.: feel free to let me know of any ideas or problems with it.

Juice Defender actually uses more juice than its saves. By default wifi gets turned off when the device goes so sleep. All that stays awake is you mobile data, unless and app keeps the wifi on. Most android devices have a very good battery life, requiring you to charge at most once a day unless the device is being taxed by constant use. I suggest you charge when you go to sleep and get rid of Juice Defender. This app works perfectly and I get my happy 12-18 waking hours on my device, unless playing games. On my other android device which i use only for calls, 2 days without charge and no battery profile managers

interesting, are you using a 3rd party lockscreen? nothing in the source touches the lock screen. in fact, this app doesn't have that permission in the manifest.

Hi all, I decided to start this thread and help devs (and HTC) to fix some bugs that I noticed on stock 3.32.401.5...
(and don't give me "why don't you root it" advice since this is my bussiness phone so that is not an option)...
This is my list that I noticed within few days of use, feel free to list yours..
1. Missed calls are no longer registered in notification bar, notification pull-down menu or LED (EDIT: there is an option for this and it was turned off so it is not a bug)
2. stock browser sometimes opens random page from history (instead home)
3. when entering system settings (for random option), phone goes to lockscreen instead pressed option (happens randomly)
3. battery life seems to be better on Gingerbread than ICS (this is my subjective opinion, please confirm)
4. video and picture quality seems to be better on Gingerbread than on ICS (although I like new Scenes options )
5. People app links contacts with Facebook by default
6. HTC sense app is approved by Facebook without promting user
7. Although all contacts (in People app) are delinked with Facebook, some contacts in messaging app (SMS) are still linked (very annoying, now i have two different names for same person, one in messaging app and other in People app)
8. searching through contacts displays contacts from Facebook and people app (although it is not linked with FB, FB sync is off - HTC, I DON'T WANT MY PHONE TO BE RAPED BY FB, THERE IS AN APP FOR THAT)
9. Power saver options are missing
10. GPS and WiFi switch are gone from quick settings (in notification pull-down menu)...
11. UI design elements are not consistent (mixture of sense and vanilla ICS)
That it for now (if I missing an option, and mixed it for a bug, please tell me )...
Overall ICS is MUCH better than GB (especially for disable app options, which gave me extra 100mb of free RAM), just needs to be polished a bit...
Edit: it seems that i managed to get rid of fb contacts by removing fb account and signing in again and clicking dont sync (although i did choose not to sync before, but that didnt work first time)
1080p landscape playback = lower framerate than gb

If that had worked, would I've bothered to ask? Obviously not. Data connection turns on spontaneously, bypassing any and all settings. Those phones had mobile connections turned off by default.

Maybe I should have been a bit clearer. By turn it off I meant in every boot go to settings and turn it off. Annoying yes but your suggestion of "Don't upgrade to ICS is not on decent data plan" was and is a bit extreme.
There are other fixes as well like using juice defender to manage mobile data (I'm sure there are others too but I use JD)

I already had it off and keep turning it off, that is the crux of the issue. Whatever HTC messed up, it completely rendered mobile data connection control useless. I have seen the system-wide use data toggle button turn itself on just after I disabled it. As I understand it, that shouldn't be possible. It's as if some process is overriding user settings at whim.
And that keeps happening, even with juice defender.
I am hoping that this will make situation a bit clearer.
my SD card is being unmount very often!
And it seems that my battery drain was caused by 3rd party apps (astro being n1, folowed by some useless apps)...
17hrs and 45 % battery to go (moderate usage)
Lost SMS messages
After u/g I have lost all my SMS messages from history - ok, not all as a single thread from my daughter shows up with perhaps 50 messages.
I have restored from previous backup and it shows successful restore of 600+ messages, but I can't see them - also the folder option has disappeared?

Confirming same issue, really annoying...and some process is causing awake issues constantly, i did a hard reset before, and didnt add any market apps...
I remember shortly after getting my Nexus 5 that I noticed a hand icon in quick settings for do not disturb setting..
I went to use it the other day and it had disappeared. I had unlocked and rooted and also flashing custom kernel.
So as I couldn't find any setting to re enable, and suspecting it might have been something I had done, I downloaded Google nexus 5 image and reflashed to stock, but still no joy .
Any advice ?

I don't remember seeing anything like this, as I recall. But I am disappointed that the Quick Settings are not really all that quick. Tapping things like Bluetooth or Wifi takes you to the full settings page for that feature instead of simply toggling it on and off as I usually am trying to do.

If you hold the icon instead of clicking it, it turns on the radio. For example, pressing WiFi takes you to the WiFi settings page, but long holding the icon will just turn it on. Same for BT.
As for the Do not Disturb, I've never seen that. I know iOS has it...and I'm sure there are Google Play apps to do something similar, but Android doesnt have that stock.
Sadly it doesn't exist in stock android. They really have to add that. Every other platform has it except stock android.
EDIT: Yes, I know touchwiz and sense have it.

Thanks. It makes me wonder though how the "average" person is ever supposed to learn little things like this -- certainly not intuitive IMO.
Mystery solved, just realised that I had switched back to my HTC One with a leaked version of sense 5.5

I found that you can press the power button and from that menu you can set the volume to vibrate or mute. Not sure if this is what you were looking for.
Thankfully custom ROMs will be here soon (in more complete/stable forms) to make all of these annoying issues better. Stock Android lacks some seriously useful little touches, but that's why we got unlocked devices....

I want to make a running list of changes people are seeing because I have slowly been discovering more and more little changes and I'm sure I'm missing some. I'll get the list started! I'll try and update the OP with a complete list if I can.
*New "Recent Apps" look where the cards are much larger and you can see more from each.
*New look for drop down menu, now allows for "Quick Connect" option.
*New look for "Smart Select" with S-pen (defaults to rectangle and has an expandable menu for other types)
*New look for lock screen.
*Wi-Fi calling now possible!
*Google's (very cool) "Now on Tap" feature accessible by holding home button down.
*Quicker, snappier performance - higher scores in AnTuTu.
*4g icon no longer lit up when using Wi-Fi.
What else am I missing, everyone?
**Added in 03/19/16**
*When selecting "share" from photo (or other things?), much more specific options are available (still based on prior patterns of usage). Example, instead of just suggesting you share with your texting app, it suggests you share with a specific person within that app (who you often send things to).
*Editing options for pictures have changed, at least the way the options are presented.
*Able to make Google play purchases with fingerprint
*Able to toggle fast charge on or off
*Internet 4.0 along with Adblock Fast able to block Internet ads.
Battery Doze
New Marshmallow Colors for folder and drop down menu
The new Auto Brightness feature is horrible. I had to go third party. It was much better in 5.x

The auto brightness wouldn't be so bad, if they had just made it a little bit more brighter along the spectrum of the bar. Oh well, maybe they'll fix it on the next update

The auto brightness can be fine tuned with the slider in the drop down

Like I said in the other thread you posted this in:
You cannot use your data connection during a phone call unless you're using the phone on Verizon with Advanced Calling active.
