Samsung mentioned during the media launch that the 32GB version will come later (I expect it to be within 1 month, by end of July hopefully), 64GB based on market demand (I think not so much demand here)

are you using google maps/waze or another third party GPS app (like papago/sygic)? If google maps or waze, then you need data as well as the maps are not stored on the device and needs to be accessed on the server.

But if papago or sygic shouldnt need data.

Mostly GPS signal will work faster (faster Location Lock) when you have data or wifi connections.
Your phone needs to grab little info on your current location data, so it'll take quite long time for your phone to get a signal lock from satellite if you're not with internet connections (Up to 10 minutes).
With little internet connection, your location data is retrieved the GPS locks within seconds.
These are from what I have experienced from my previous Android phones la.. Should be applicable to S3 too..

that's why i mention "YET"

o so that means even with GPS on, we still need connect to internet inorder for it to work?

How many of you already rooted the s3 ?

Whatever the iPhone can do, Android can do better yo

any blue unit available?

After u switch on the HOTSPOT, remember to set password as well !! otherwise ppl around u can ur line !!

Yes..you can receive FOTA updates provided that you root but stay on official stock roms. Buy SuperSU Pro so you superuser will survive FOTA. Another easy way is you manually update your firmware using Mobile Odin.

ouh, thanks for the info. So if we opt to manually update the firmware, need to download them individually from XDA dev site? that's gonna be a hassle.

Anyway thanks for the SuperSU Pro. Searched it just now. Another buying it seems if i wana go on a rooted way.

Any apps that use to kill task ?? instead of press and hold the home button !!!

May I know where you get this info rooting will lose your data ??
Rooting will NOT delete or affect any data in your phone
Seriously I have yet to come across any case any user losing stuffs after rooting . Unless that user is hopelessly stupid and do not know how to follow simple instructions . The worse can happen he fail to root it only
Flashing rom can possibly affect your phone data definitely no such thing for rooting alone

using the Chainfire method ya bro?

No such thing such as loosing data when rooting (This is not the iPhone's jailbreak we're talking about)
You can do backups without rooting too. AppMonster and MyBackup are the apps
And don't think that only porn sites have ads. The ads we're referring to is in-app ads which often comes with some free apps. Rooting allows one to remove the ads when we use the respective apps.

btw guys, where's Market Enabler? I tried searching for it in the Play Store recently but to no avail
