Ayoo...This Android Ice-Cream Sandwich on Galaxy SIII quite different with Android Gingerbread on my Galaxy S. If before this I always turn the background data OFF, now I'm lost, no background data ON/OFF option. How to turn off the background data. Can somebody help me! I don't want my gtalk and YM online always.

Now I use Green Power app to manage mobile data, mobile data automatic off when the screen off, but I still got notification from gtalk, whatsapp and facebook. How accurate actually the mobile data off method?

Already set to off sync.

4th June already, Celcom roadshow ended with last day they gift notebook in a paper bag to freebies. I got one:

This official thread actually not so good if you want make it as your reference, all topic about SGS3 discussed in 1 thread, it's difficult to discuss.

If you want serious discussion, better go to here: Samsung Galaxy S III I9300 @ XDA-Developers.com

Informative post alert!

Those who want copy paste file from/to MacBook Pro/Air, download Android File Transfer from here: http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

When you done the installation, plug your SGS3 to USB. Then for USB option on your SGS3, choose Camera PTP:
I try copying huge number of file just now, the Android File Transfer application crashed. Need to copy slowly, one folder to one folder.

Ya, I now. Just replying KuLi (Tengku Razali?). He want serious discussion here.

I already have some idea to improve our SGS3, later I will post there:
- nice Arabic font
- truely nature based theme: all box shape convert to oval shape like pebble.
- extend quick panel when long tap on the icon.
- big [Clear] button on notification drawer.

I'm very happy because SGS3 have recording FM radio function. Now I can record my favorite kuliah and play it again anytime.

Hehe..go to app drawer > widgets > Negative colours 2x1

Put it to your home screen. Then tap on it. Tadaaa...

It's usefull when you browsing white website or reading e-book. More black color on the screen, more battery save.

Wohoo...It's remind me to what I done last week:

Quickpic...This one, right? ~> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?...lensw.PicFolder

I think the advantage of SGSIII stock gallery are the tilt to zoom and pan to browse function. Same like the internet browser, cannot tilt to zoom on Firefox and Chrome beta.

Great info! Maybe it's better if you turn off all auto sync.

I always off sync because I already connected to net on my PC and laptop. When go off, sure I have something to do like driving, eating, shopping etc, so that I always off the sync function. When got bored like waiting order, turn to meet Doctor etc, then I refresh my gmail, office mail etc manually. Heheh..

I think, all standby input will always run such as:
- light sensor for auto brightness
- front camera for smart stay
- motion sensor for direct call, smart alert, pan to move, tilt to zoom etc
- screen rotation

If we disable all, we save more battery.

Take note about background internet data running by app we install such as:
- facebook
- twitter
- beautiful weather
- whatsapp
- gtalk
- YM
- chatOn
- google+
- 3G Watcher
- etc

If possible to logout, or reduce refresh interval from always connected or refresh every 5 minutes to manually refresh or refresh every 8 hours, than we can save more battery.

Just two cents tips from me.

Hehe..ya la, just sharing if we need to save battery then. Maybe when we got trouble and cannot find any power point or extra battery, then we need to disable those.

I just downloaded SGS III Retail Mode, I interested to look the phone interact itself like demo unit in the shop. But after installed it, then run the apps, it prompted password before I can use it. I don't know the password. Please help me. If I can't use it, that's wasting my internet data and disk space, the size is about 100++mb.

Hehe..not enough I think, still can use gps, data, wifi etc when enable power saving mode.


It's depend on app, 3G watcher and beautiful weather have this option.

Ya. B) There is for serious discussion, here sometimes our question left with many replies about others topic.

Thanks bro.

Morning my friends! I want update about battery life for my SGSIII. Bellow is what ZeneticX got with moderate usage:

Following are what I mind with minimum usage:
- FM radio full volume for 1/2 hours
- Call-in & call out just 2 minutes
- Internet browsing around 1/2 hours
- Mobile data download and upload around 200mb
- WIFI on around 15 minutes
- Gtalk sign out around 12 hours
- reading e-book around 1/2 hours
- screen on around 3 and half hours
- auto flight mode by GO Power Master when sleep

The result:






Full battery charge cycle: 1 cycle
SGSIII age: 3 days

Before leave the Celcom roadshow, I ask the Celcom girl about the warranty, she said they will register for us. You bought with contract or outright? Mine with contract.
