I got a GS3! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I decided to get a galaxy s3 instead of a droid DNA, and love it. Samsung has many awesome features and I like the design and the support of accessories that I wouldnt of had with the DNA. Just curious to know if you guys think the Battery Saver feature really helps?

I had been a HTC fanboy myself and coming from the rezound. The battery on this one blows that one away, at least from my point of view. So I never really thought about it.

Congrats on your new phone!
Did you buy a phone without contract? If not then did you consider the S4? Just curious.

I almost got the DNA instead as well. It would be an awesome phone if it had a friggen external sd card slot! What the hell were they thinking... Anyways, you will love the S3. There is tons and tons of support for it, and plenty of roms and other stuff to try if you decide to root it. I think I will remain a well supported phone for a long time yet. I came from the HTC Incredible 2.

Best smartphone I've ever owned by far... Coming from the OG HTC Thunderbolt... Main reason I didn't get the DNA was not being able to upgrade SD card or remove the battery that's a total killer for me that loves to buy external batteries...

Awesome man! I just got mine yesterday too, bought it off eBay.
I've already wiped out TouchWiz and testing other ROMS. I came from an iPhone 5 > Galaxy Nexus > Now GS3

I just got this phone because i broke my S2 on Monday, and picked this phone up the same day. The only reason why i still have it is because the S4 didn't ship to local stores around me.
It's a nice phone but it's going back so I can get the T-Mobile version galaxy S4.

SD card support was ultimately the only reason I didn't go with the DNA. Now I'm glad I went this route. I love being able to use AOSP.

I got the GS3 over the DNA too. More because of the battery

I picked one up about a week ago as well. I love it. I've always been a HTC fan as well. I broke the screen on my Rezound and decided to pick up the s3 since I'm not eligible for an upgrade til august. The battery life on it is blows the rezound out of the water. Only thing i don't like about it is the keyboard. Still trying to decide whether i'm going to root it or not.

You should give SwiftKey a try, number one paid app in the PLAY store. I found it is a much better keyboard.

Trick with Swiftkey is keeping it as default. Google installs wrong. To get it to stick as default download from Market and set as default. Make TIBU backup. Delete Swiftkey. Restore from TIBU. It will now have permissions to remain as default keyboard on reboot. Works for any 3rd party keyboard from the Market.

Cool
Awesome man!! Welcome to the club! I hope you love it as much as I do!!

Going to Galaxy Nexus after Having Droid Charge

Just wanted to post my experience and hear of others that are also making the move.
Now I may have a totally different view than most, but Overall, this phone was pretty awesome. First I had a G1 on T-Mobile. The excitement of learning Android and having the first phone was fun. I've been fortunate to be involved in every dessert update. Finding XDA, rooting, learning ADB, all the learning of all the other stuff was awesome. Then I jumped ship and got the Droid Eris. Now shortly after getting it, I regretted the hell out of my decision. I should have gotten the OG Droid. But XDA helped me love my phone. Cyanagen, and other ROMs were awesome, and the Eris forum and developers were funny and friendly. Then with 2 months left in my contract and waiting for the Droid 3 to come out, I won the Droid Charge in the droid landing contest. I enjoyed the 4g fastness and tried to keep things stock, but I keep lingering on XDA and finally gave in. I couldn't believe how easy it was to Root and flash this phone. With that, I spent less time in this forum and didn't really post much. I purchased the TBH app leaks and didn't really come by and participate. But I will say that this phone at first was great, but really is a disappointment. Great cause the SCREEN, the easiness of rooting and flashing, and that's about it. The 4G never works when you need it the most. Don't get me wrong. When it works, its amazing! But those times it freezes and then goes to 3g then goes back and freezes, etc...RAM was not enough to do all this phone is trying to do. And of course the battery, but that's universal.
Now, I've sold my charge and have a prepaid VZW card for $300 ready to pre-order the Galaxy Nexus. My contracts is up, and I still have a new every 2 credit. I look forward to the excitement and fun experienced with the G1. This is a whole new OS, and I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time in the XDA forums. I'm in total love with ICS. I was not disappointed at all with ICS. The hardware of the Nexus, um maybe, but you gotta be real picky. I think this is a phone I can finally have for 2 years and be happy with the whole time. Quad core phones next year, then by 2013 maybe HD projection phones. But this phone should be able to stand up to most competition till then. Hope it gets all the updates, and quickly. Jellybean?
I've got my money ready for the 10th.
I really dig my Charge, but I've been waiting for a pure AOSP experience on Verizon for far too long.
You traded in your Charge for $300 with Verizon?

Isn't anybody ever happy with anything? Is nothing good enough? ICS and the first phone to carry it were just announced not even 24 hours ago and you already want Jellybean on the phone? Good grief.
I want it for the ICS and dual core. Not sure if I'll be able to afford it or not though. Can't really blame ya for wanting to jump since it is such a bada** phone in specs. I'm kinda so-so with my Charge.

LOL...I think my post got misread by yourself, or mistyped by me. What I was referring to is that I plan on keeping this phone for 2 years. I'm hoping that in the 2 years, what ever updates that happen to come out, the Nexus gets them quickly. Then I put jellybean with a "?" thinking maybe if in that time it would get it. Like I posted above, I'm in love with ICS and would be fine having it for 2 years. But we all know that google updates pretty quickly. I have no idea what they could add, cause ICS is great, but when it's(JB) announced, we're all gonna want it, and soon. Just like ICS, GB, FY, ECL, DN, and Cupcake. Ahh, Cupcake.
Man, I remember waiting for Cupcake and wanting it so bad. Touchscreen keyboard, widgets, and record/playback video.

Doing this too. I paid full price for my charge since my contract wasn't up, but it is now. So hopeing to use that 50%-60% that I'm supposed to get back to buy the Galaxy Nexus. Now watch them not carry it >.<
Kind of in the same boat. I'm just not sure I can deal with this phone for 2 years. I've looked around a bit to see what I can get for it plus the stuff I got for it. I'm more interested in the Droid Razr, but regardless I don't know if I can justify that kind of cost.

[Q] stay with this phone or exchange?

hi everyone,
i have a quick question, i just upgraded my phone to the nexus s from sprint, they give me 13 days to return if i wanted to do that, the main reason i got this phone was for the NFC chip to be able to use google wallet, however i got it and i can't even use it becasue the prepaid card from google wallet is not working i called them and they say that the system is down and it wouln't go back on for about 2 weaks.
My question is do you guys think i should stay with this phone or i should bring it back and exchange to the galaxy s2 epic 4g?
thanks for all of your input on this.

I'd prefer a Nexus phone over anything. An unlockable bootloader if you want to flash your own ROM's and the fastest OTA's if you want to stay stock.
The only phone worth exchanging it for is the Galaxy Nexus, in my opinion. But I don't really see the need yet. The Nexus S is a great phone, even though the specs may be less astonishing than many new phones.

I think the Nexus is definitely worth keeping. It's a great size, and there is still a massive amount of developing being done. Keep it ... you won't regret it.
Gs2 will be upgraded ics soon
If you have enough money, the answer is gs2
Stick with it!

thanks everybody for the replays
When I first got my NS4G I got bored of it quick. I was used to HTC Sense. I have almost traded it and/or sold it many times, but when it gets down to it I CANNOT part with this phone. The Nexus is one of the greatest phones. Pure Google, no Sprint or Samsung bloatware. I have learned so much with this phone.

**OFFICIAL** What Phone Should I Buy?

Attention!
In light of all the posts that are deleted and/or closed due to many off-topic posts about what device a person should buy, I have created this official thread.
Although XDA is not a place to extensively talk about what device person should buy, some forums permit it. So to help keep the threads a little cleaner, you may post your questions here.
Granted there are other sites more into device reviews and comparisons, but in the interest of keeping some people happy, and to avoid getting posts deleted, this thread is created for people who have no idea what device to get.
In the end, you should still march your happy self to a shop, and play with the devices that are available. Only then will you be satisfied with your purchase.
Any posts elsewhere asking such questions, that should be in this thread, will still be deleted or closed. This includes posting multi-duplicated posts in several forums outside of official threads.
Thanks, and Hope you use this.
pre order the htc one!!!!
wel, i had the atrix 4g and did alot with it. now i got the atrix 2. i like it more in terms of camera screen and overall feel and preformance, but this bootloader it bringing me down in terms of wanting more out of this awesome phone. so, with that said....around the ninth of may i will be leaving the atrix 2 threads as i have just pre ordered a htc one on [email protected] and will be moving there. the atrix 2 is going to a good friend as we are on aplan together but he has no knowledge of android so seeing that its already rooted and has a custom rom im sure ill he back off and on keeping him up to date with the latest and greatest i know this phone will get here soon. thanks devs for all the hard work for this device and maybe ill see a few of you in the htc one threads.
Unlocked Galaxy Nexus, no contract, $400 direct from Google. No brainer

loved my atrix 4g. favorite phone ever. screen broke though and insurance didn't have any more so i had to get an atrix 2. build quality, screen and camera are better. sacrificed fingerprint sensor, battery life and slightly better processor for it though. also the dev support on the atrix 2 doesn't come close to the support for the OG atrix.

I'd get a Nexus just because the SIII is basically a beefier Nexus with TouchWiz 4.0 instead of straight ICS, but that's more personal preference than anything.

The Galaxy S III will be a great phone, they rooted it before it was even released and they already have an insecure kernel and boot image, so if you like ROMs and flashing. then that is the phone to get.
I will have a Galaxy S III the day it is released. I am in no way getting rid of the Atrix2, it will no longer be my daily driver, so I can hack the crap out the Atrix2, and get us some more great things, without having to worry about not being able to use my phone for an extended period of time, if I want to work on something over a whole weekend or something.

This is the boat I am in...my screen has gone bonkers, and my IT group wants to replace my Atrix with the Atrix 2. I had written off the A2 when they first gave me a choice...but this time I don't have a choice. Too bad because I have just about all the OG Atrix docks (car, lapdock, standard, HD, etc).
What I really want to know is whether or not I can modify the unit. With the OG Atrix now starting to see ICS with CM9 and AOKP, what will I be missing with the A2?
S3 or One X w'd be better choice
s3 comes with cheap build quality and One X lags in spite of its Quad core factor.

Honestly they are looking like the 2 strong contenders..... Sg3 boast a bit more cutting edge features and looks like one x does not have sd storage????? If I had the choice it would be Sg3 all day..... All boils down to preferences and needs do you need all Sg3 offers or would one x work for you.....
every htc phone sux in battery department....while SG3 Luks cheapish 4 a very high end phone ....i think sg2 is best and since price have gone down it more of a better choice...it can do everything what sg3 nd htc one x do....the only thing i t lacks is a hd display ....but seriously i saw htc one x nd SG2 hand to hand nd i dont notice any diffence in display pixel density....both look same....nothing big difference its just a hype of hd nothing more ......

I've posted my MB865 both on eBay and on Craig's List, and no takers. I've set the price very low and still have no luck trying to offload it. Guess I will just choke down the $199.00 from AT&T with a new 2 year for the SGS3.
C'es la vie...
Best Buy will probably buy it from you. Now I'm glad that I got the "buyback guarantee" thing. Once my contract is up I'll get about $150 for it to put towards another phone...more if I go in earlier. Earlier's looking good.
just wandering what you want to do that you can't with the A2 besides use a new rom everyday?

AOSP and AOKP are not going to work unless we unlock the bootloader. That is what I really like... I think blur is clumsy and fat...
The ONLY things about this phone that are great is that it is solid, and the battery is amazing.
Developing anything on this phone is a pain... my sgs 3 will be here tomorrow or tues at the latest, and I already have a kernel and cm9 compiled and ready to test and release over there.

I've seen this mentioned a couple of times and am curious - does Best Buy only buy back phones purchased from their store, or could I turn in my Atrix 2 purchased from an AT&T location?

No it does not have to have been bought at a best buy. I traded my HTC inspire that I bought at an AT&T corp store for the A2 and I had money left to buy a 32GB and a 64GB SDcard.
So basically I got the A2 and a 32GB SDcard, and a 64GB SDcard all for trading in my HTC Inspire 4g that was bought for 99 bucks at an AT&T corp store. So basically the phone was free and they gave me 2 SDcards with it...
Now I will say if you have ANY issues BB will screw you over, so be careful, and if you have an issue they will MAKE you get a geek squad monthly support contract... I told them to F-off, and took the first A2 that broke into the AT&T Corp store right across the street and AT&T still took care of me.
Oh, and I bought my SGS 3 from the AT&T website... no more BB after the issues with support even though it was 32 days after purchase.
I will say though, that if you need to trade your phone in to get another one, for money reasons, BB is the place to go. I have heard of certain AT&T corp stores doing trade ins, but the ones around me have never done that.

Phone now $400 piece of trash :(

I bought this phone a few weeks ago and let me start by saying that I LOVE it. The features, the software, the hardware, EVERYTHING. But I bought it for $400 off the marketplace and it was fine at first, but then it had signal drops (for hours at a time). I didn't notice until it was far too late to ask for a refund. I sent it to Samsung, and they "fixed" it, but I got it back and it still has the issue. I've compared it to my mom's droid charge and hers has far better signal. Verizon won't replace it, but my brother is willing to give up his upgrade. He has a feature phone and no desire to upgrade. Right now I'm looking at another S III, Droid DNA, MAXX HD, or Note 2. Which should I go for?
Have you swapped around radios? Tried different ROMs?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk 2
I am bone stock. Before I sent it in for repair I rooted, and tried every radio.
From the phone choices you picked out I would get the Note 2. If that's too big you can try another S3.
If you have a better suggestion, feel free to let me know. I hate the branded home button on the note 2 though.

I have a similar problem when making or recieving calls. For me I don't talk a lot so it is nota big deal. However you really just need to decide how inconvienient the signal issue is for you.
I would consider it a huge pain in the ass. I want my phone to work, and I'm definitely getting a new phone. I just need to decide which one.
I have also experienced call drops and poor reception in low signal areas. I'd suggest trying out a Motorola, the DNA or the Maxx.
DNA all the way. People will disagree with me because it has no SD slot and non removable battery...but if you don't need those options then I'd go with the DNA...I'm getting the DNA. HTC makes good quality phones in my opinion. Nice soft touch back, not plasticy feeling.

I had good luck with my old moto droid x so I would probably go for the Maxx hdn though as others hace said htc makes a damn nice phone.
I have thought some more on it and I have 13 GB music, 2 GB games, plus other misc stuff, so I would say the DNA is out. The MAXX HD is an option, but the UI is heinous and there is actually 1 ROM for it. The Note II's home button should die a painful death. Any stickers for it take 3 weeks all from Hong Kong. :/ The S III is looking like my best option. Any further advice is appreciated.

My advice? Don't step into a forum that everyone in it owns a certain product and say said product is a piece of trash.
Usually doesn't go over well.
Second, if your going to complain about getting a note 2 and having to wait 3 weeks just to cover the home button so you don't see a branded logo, you've got bigger issues than a phone your not happy with.

Well, thank you kindly for bashing me.
1. Please reread the first sentence of my post (OP).
2. I didn't say that meant I wasn't getting the Note, it's just annoying. But thanks for your great wisdom.
id try another S3.
but i love my phone and havent had any issues.
have you tried a new sim card?
Yes I did, two in fact.
word, hadnt seen it mentioned yet.
whatever path you choose i hope youre happy with the decision.
if you go another route, does VZW still offer the test drive 14 day return period? Could alawys come back to the GS3 if youre not satisfied with your new device. or sell gs3, Or you could keep the galaxy as an MP3 player.
Once I get the new phone, I'm gonna give the old one another shot at getting repaired. Then I'll test it and sell it.
Why burn an upgrade to get the same phone you already have. Low signal reception it's a know issue for the s3, especially in comparison with Motorola products.

Need help deciding.

Hey everyone. I know this has been beaten to death but I'm having hard time making a decision.
I have had an AT&T HTC One for the past week or so. I'm very happy with the phone and have had really no issues. I'm running 4.2.2 in it and am happy. Problem is I am seriously considering switching to the s4.
There are some features the s4 offers that I really like. (multi-view, flip to ignore, etc.)
I had One X switched to the s3 then to an iphone 5 but missed android so came back and got the HTC One. Like I said I like the one. The button layout doesn't bother me although I do like the physical home button on the S. The speakers are awesome and the screen is very nice.
I just don't know what to do. I still have time to swap it for an S before my 14 days expire but don't want to regret switching.
Opinions???
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
If you have 14 days to swap HTC one, then I am sure you will get some time for S4 too. I would say try both and keep the one you like. Ihas HTC one X, swapped it to get S3 and now using S4. Huge difference from S3 to S4 in screen itself. I played with HTC one too but IMO S4 has better screen. Also the so called gimmicky features are actually useful in S4.
Well here's my take on the two devises. I had the One for about 12 days before returning it before the 14 day exchange and got myself the GS4. Let me start by saying the One is a great phone but it has some downfalls especially after using the S4 after the One. The S4 IMO is superior in every way but 1. The build quality on the One is better but even with that I do prefer that the back is easily replaceable because you can replace the battery and Micro SD card also replace the back cover itself if you scratch it up or damage it on the S4. So even with the 1 downfall that the One has over the S4 it is still arguably not a downfall for some. As far as features go the S4 hands down has the Crown on this. Yes some do call them gimmicky but I find them to be very useful. I do not use all of them but do use most. The beauty of this is try them all and simply turn off the ones you don't want to use. I find myself using more of the features the more I use the phone. For me the S4 without a doubt is the better phone. But that being said my opinion and preferences of a phone may be different than yours, so I would recommend to do what I did and what viny2cool mentioned before your 14 day exchange ends, return it and try out the S4 for yourself and then decide which phone is better for you.
How about wait for the 5s. Problem solve.

Wait, "WHAT"
They are so evenly matched its a very hard decision, one that you personally have to make. Ive been back and forth and own both. However, the biggest deciding factor FOR ME is the removable, swappable, faster charging battery, and the sharper camera in the day time. Im not a night owl, so I wont benefit from the Ultrapixel milarky. Usually when I take pictures its in middle of the day, outside and the s4 comes out much better in that scenario. I like HTC Zoe and the video highlights it automatically makes, but im sure someone will make something similar and sell it for 99 cents in the play store.
You just need to prioritize what YOU value most in your device, and then figure out which one doesnt match up as well.

Don't forget now that we have the bootloader bypass by djrbliss the amount of roms to choose from are endless. So many dev's and so many roms to choose from, it's awesome! Played with the HTC One for about an hour. It's a great phone, I was just never a fan of Sense and HTC. So I was a little biased when I got my S4. I came from an atrix 4g, HTC Incredible, s2, note 2, s3, and now the s4. Definately the best phone I've ever had. All my previous devices I hated stock tw based roms. But just the s4 features alone along with xposed modules and 3minit framework it has rendered cm/aosp no longer needed for my needs. I would say try it out and if you don't like it then exchange it back. At least you won't having it stuck in your head whether or not you should have made the change or not.

Ok, but you said, "Problem solved." Yes, I suppose one problem would be solve...but on the other hand there would be a new problem: he would have an iPhone. And that's a huge problem.
I have a GS4 and I'm a big fan. That said I had a One for about 12 days before i returned it for the S4. The camera was my biggest gripe. If you're taking pics of something within a couple feet it's pretty good but forget about zooming. I use my camera on my phone a lot so I had to make the change. The one is a great device but I think I made the right choice in the long run.
Thanks everyone. I swapped it out for the S4 today.

I didn't want to make a new thread, so thought I could ask here. But does the GS4 have SVDO? I'm thinking about switching from Sprint to AT&T. How is the GS4 compared to the GS3? Only problem with the GS3 to me is the screen is too wide, is that an issue with the GS4? I haven't seen one in person yet.

The screen is technically wider on the S4...the whole phone is essentially the same size as the S3 though, so if you have a problem with the width of the S3, the S4 isn't going to be for you.
Both are great phones. If the One does everything you need then keep it.
