I'm new here, just thought I would say hello. The Galaxy S3 is my first real smart phone. Finally took the plunge when I thought they made a phone capable of keeping up with me. Sure am glad I did. I love this thing! Looking forward to learning from everyone here on the site.
welcome to the jungle!!! happy thanksgiving and enjoy your the toy...
Welcome
The Galaxy S III is also the first smartphone I've owned. Up until I retired recently I had to carry a Blackberry for work and I didn't really see the need for a personal smartphone. The S III is definitely a much, much different experience that the Blackberry and I'm very glad I decided I like the reviews and tried it.
I belong to quite a few forums, and I have to say this place is a jungle. This has to be the largest forum I've joined to date.

Yeah. We do get a lot of drama because of it, but also a lot of really good development.

Welcome. Remember it's better to double read everything and flash once.

Welcome! I was particularly drawn to welcome you, being that you're in Denver! I lived there for almost 5 years. Loved it. You'll find that we have a phenomenal group of devs and themers who allow us to have the most gorgeous phones.

Thanks for your hard work here, good luck with all your future projects. Hope to see you there eventually. Also, first!
Looks like I'm joining you on the other side thanks to a nice statement credit courtesy of AT&T
Fare well Mikey, gl in the sgs2 world
Another one bites the dust, have fun with the S II.
Later and B y e .
Thanks for your roms. My cappy is awesome, thanks to you.

it wouldnt be hard to cross develop something you know...and im sure you can find plenty of testers...
but sad to see you go! drop in and spam our forum anytime!
Thanks for all you did for our Captivates, Mikey. Serendipity was the 1st ROM I flashed, and I kept with it all the way through S7. Best of luck with the SGS2...they're lucky to have you.
Thanks Mikey. Your awesome work is the reason I'm still keeping my captivate.
Your ROMs were Awesome! thanks!

agreed sorry to lose you.
would love to see you update this thread with a SGSII Review once you have had a good chance to settle in with it.
So glad you're joining the rest of use who have picked up an AT&T SGSII.
Serendipity is by far the Best and most stable... 6.4 was my first rom, and it was and still is flawless

I'll catch up with u over there sometime soon. That white one looks awesome.
I swore I'd never buy another samsung phone. But, if I can keep unlimited data, I'll be picking the S2 up tomorrow.
They should give Mikey free upgrades. He's a main reason I'm picking the S2 up as my next phone.

My Galaxy S 2 got stolen recently. Luckily I got the AT&T version from the insurance.
I have had my Skyrocket for a week now. I use to have a Captivate. The Dev's and the community were fantastic. Here are my first impressions of the Dev's and community for the Skyrocket. Are you kidding me?! Really?! This is what I should expect?! Seriously, In the last week I have seen the Dev's, themers, and modders take a leaked ICS rom and turn into rooted, debloated, several roms, kernals, themes, tweaks and mods and more coming to fast to keep up with. Beyond amazing all of you! I'm in awe. And the community is awesome. I like my new phone. I love its new home. Thanks to all
Yeah, the devs around here really bust their asses. They deserve all the thanks, kudos, and brews they get.
I have to say, even looking in the T989 forum. so many less apps, and roms, and tips, and tweaks and other usefull stuff, and we basically have the same phone. I LOVE the skyrocket community.
Seems like a lot of x-cappy owners went with the rocket. You'll enjoy the crowd here. Welcome. Keep up if you can!

The cappy is a good little phone. Just didn't have a flash for camera or a good gps. I still have 3 cappies "customized" for the ladies in the family. But, Daddy's got the Skyrocket
Welcome! I'm an ex-Cappy owner myself. Awesome development on that phone. I'd say at least 75% of Skyrocket owners on XDA upgraded from the Captivate.
I've been with the Skyrocket community here on XDA since right after the phone came out, and it took a long time to get where we are today. Those early days were slow with not much available, but things have really exploded recently, in awesome ways.
The Skyrocket community is one of the best you'll find anywhere on XDA. We have a couple of dedicated trolls, but they're actually just good people having fun (I'm looking at you nrm!!!). We're a good bunch. Again, welcome!

I remember after the first time I flashed CyanogenMod on my Captivate (aosp Nexus base) I got an email from Google saying Welcome to the World of Nexus (or something like that).
Blew my mind that they thought I had a Nexus!

hey guys, just wanted to say thanks for all the help i've received and the knowledge and info i have picked up along the way. the G2x was my first android device and i have spent many a night reading through posts to find out what i needed. i hope i was able to give back a bit here.
i sold my G2x so i could get a Galaxy S III so i will be over in that section of the woods (and the xoom section)
hope the G2x gets CM10 soon. i was going to wait and see when that came out but had to pull the trigger on the S3 before the deal got away from me
again thanks to everyone here who has helped me learn about what these Android devices are all capable of! see ya around!
Take care Dodgefan... Enjoy your new toy!
You have been great for the community. Have fun with your new baby.

actually wanted the last nexus phone, but the new one has pretty close specs to the S3 but with no sd card slot and no removable battery, had to go with the S3 it was a no brainer

Hi there,
Is anyROM team planning to release something significant in the next week, or can I rest my twitchy flash finger?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well, this thread should be interesting......
FYI, asking for ETAs is kinda the xda equivalent of crapping the bed.
As for if there will be releases this week: maybe. Sometimes the devs like to give us a little Christmas present. But don't forget that they are people too and this is one of the busiest weeks of the year for many people.
Wow, I didn't mean to actually ask for anything - certainly not ETAs. More kind of a gag.

Who wants one of those Samsung cameras? The ones with android. Why do you want one? I don't see the point in the thing, I don't see who would buy one from VERIZON and pay the ****ing data fee. I just don't get it. What is the appeal to own one of these?
my tapatalk signature sucks more than yours.

No idea, in the same boat.. I was gonna get it for a Christmas present for my gf but idk what the point is either. I do know Adam Outler rooted the thing which is pretty damn cool!

I think the idea of the galaxy camera is that people love the convenience cellphones provide for in allowing your photos to be shared to social media platforms. The problem is even the best phone cameras are still phone cameras. The galaxy camera retains the social networking convenience and introduces a nice camera (optical zoom) onto the equation. Curious how Google+ just recently allowed for full quality photo uploads eh?

This is the problem with xda. Not you. Personally i think you did nothing wrong. You were simply asking if anyone knew if a significant release for a ROM was being planned for this week. You weren't asking for someone to make a ROM, you weren't asking for an eta. Instead everyone decides to be incredibly disrespectful toward you. Maybe op didn't want to go through every single ROM thread over the past 5 or so pages looking for posts by the dev.

I know that this happens....but I don't think that this is the case here as no one was outright disrespectful to OP nor is a future ETA or release something you can generally look up in past threads.
Oh well, relax and drink some nog. We should try and get a forum game running over the holiday. Mafia anyone? =)
Ok, here's all I meant: I love xda and the developers. I flash like crazy and keep finding something better as one Rom leap frogs the other. So I was tongue in cheek asking for a break from flashing, to save me from myself this week, not for what to flash next.
Hold phone with my left hand, even though that's considered rude in some cultures.

Sup guys!
I recently just got my hands on a galaxy nexus and that means I have officially moved on from the A2. I've had great time while owning the phone for over a year. Thanks to all of the devs that committed their valuable time to keeping the A2 on par with the competition (software wise). I'll drop by the forums every once in a while to see how things are going. But sadly I won't be contributing anything more (not that I contributed much while i was here ). I had a great time here and wish you all luck on your future endeavours!
