I think in V6 someone mentioned that they didn't get to see the battery charged to 100%. This morning I work up and then looked at my S3 and saw that it was sitting exactly 100% so I took a screenshot.



Later in the day, i tested the airplane mode just to see how much it will drain the battery and I was surpised with the result.

I checked the battery level (68%) before I turn the airplane mode on the moment I get into the plane and two hours later when I landed at the destination, it remain at the same level. I think this is one of the way to preserve the battery when leaving the phone overnight if not charging.

I also noticed that the new ICS interface has a roaming time display. Coming from Froyo 2.2, I haven't been catching up with the latest Android version so I don't know if this is something new in ICS or it is also available in earlier version like HC or GB. Still it is a nice feature to use when I roam oversea.

Another new discovery I had was that even when the SIII screen is locked, you can also palm over the screen to capture a screenshot. I thought that motion is only available when the screen is unlocked.



Cheers

did u took the screenshot when the usb cable is still plug in and power switch on or u already plugged it out ?

some say the 100% to 99% is a normal thing when u switch off the charger or unplug it

I usually switch off the wall plug and then only pull out the usb cable. It is showing 100% at that time.

then its weird. because some stated it shows 99% after u switch off the power is actually a safety feature

I am trying to connect my S3 to an Ad-Hoc Wireless Hotspot in Windows 7 but the S3 doesn't see the hotspot at all. I was hoping to share my Windows 7 connection to my S3 as I can only use one device on either the LAN connection or the Wifi conneciton in the hotel room.

Kind of frustrate a bit because my iPad 2 can connect to the Ad-Hoc Wireless Hotspot and not the S3. I tried configure the Wi-Fi frequency band and the Ad-hoc hotspot just doesn't appear in the Wi-Fi networks list.

it seems there's problem with ad hoc on previous galaxies as well. you can google about it

Attached thumbnail(s)

uncle benny posted about this yesterday afternoon. you can give it a try

yeah i follow the uncle benny post,seem like it just step by step guide and easy to follow,you should put it in the front page.

btw rooting will not increase the counter right

It can fully charge but once u took of the charger then it will decfease to 99%

To be safe, just use Chainfire's method.

o.O thanks for telling
and I thought around rm1x @@

I tried with my phone if I unplug directly without turning off the switch first it stays 100% else if I turn it off first then unplug it will go down straight to 99%

Don't know if it's bugs or meant to be like that

I also encountered similar behaviour for two cycles of charging.

Not sure anyone else having this problem. I encounter it often but not all the time.

I usually have both my Wi-Fi and Mobile date on. Sometimes, when I feel like using my Mobile data and hence switching the Wi-Fi off, I can't get it connected and each time restarting the phone can easily solve the problem.

Is there any way I can do to solve this issue instead of restarting every time?

It's a limitation of ICS, not galaxy S3. Should ask android to lift off the limitation during the next firmware update.

To create infrastructure type wifi hotspot using your computer, you can try using Connectify software on your computer.

sometimes it's telco issue.. i get it sometimes in my tab.. which telco u using?

I think I just encounter the similar thing....I was on 3g so I change to gsm but after that can't connect to internet.the icon is the butt no movement...change back to 3g also nothing....restart the phone ok liao..... So any comments? bug?

Hmm... Telco issue ah. I'm on DiGi.

No idea. Let's see if others encounter the same issue.
