What to do when you first get your phone


QUOTE
1) check for matching IMEI (dial *#06#) with phone and box.

2) check all contents are available in box

3) check for dead pixels. use samsung function test by typing this code *#0*# into the dialer. go through all the test and make sure everything is working

4) check for any hardware defects by pressing the phone at several spots for squeaking or weird noises.

5) check for yellow tint, open up a white picture and check the screen for yellow-ish

Tips/Tricks

Application that is safe to remove
QUOTE


Tips on battery saving
QUOTE
Try to use manual screen brightness instead of automatic, setting it to 50% or below. You can disable wifi and data connection if you're not using it that frequent, turn it on only when you need to use it.Disable all auto syncing will help as well.You can set the sleep timer below the 1min default setting, as this will off the screen earlier and safe some power.Monitor your task manager once in a while to kill off running apps and processes. Using a black background wallpaper will help save power as well because of S.AMOLED screen.


How to get Flipboard without downloading the apk from XDA - credits to farscope

QUOTE
go to apps >> more services, then it will lead u to samsung apps, then u will be able to get flipboard there. other apps like S Baro for pressure, My Story (as in GNote) and others are in there.


How to switch off wifi power saving mode - credits to nidunalza
QUOTE
Type *#0011# to open a service menu> options key > wifi > set wifi power saving to OFF.
(NOTE : disabling this may consume more battery. leave it ON unless you're having wifi connection issues)


SGS3 Recorded Audio Format is 3GA, How to Convert to MP3?
QUOTE
This one need to use Windows PC/Laptop. We have two good multimedia file converter: SUPER and Format Factory.

SUPER: advance and so many options to choose.
Format Factory: simple and easy interface.

Download it from following URL:
http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html (description and download page) ~> Direct download: http://www.erightsoft.biz/GetFile.php?SUPERsetup.exe
http://formatoz.com/index.html


Transfer file for Apple Notebook
QUOTE
Those who want copy paste file from/to iMac /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.

Hey guys, I just bought my SGP flexHD from Millen and i JUST tried applying it 20minutes ago.

This was hands down the hardest SP i've ever had to apply doh.gif

I can't seem to get all the bubbles out (it's normal, right?) and i'm noticing an uneven surface throughout the entire SP.

I'm not sure if you can see it through these pictures, but those little bumps are actually the bubbles that i couldnt manage to squeegee out (i'm not sure if they're considered large or small)

Is this normal? What is the best thing to do next?  icon_question.gif
I have yet to turn on my phone, only planning to do so in another hour.. doh.gif

I got a question here.

Since I have 4 S3s, will my 50GB dropbox be stacked? Or shall I open a new account for each?

Cuz i don't wanna waste it.

And yes, there are visible black spots when I open a black screen. Is it a manufacture defect?

Do a backup from recovery. Your rom plus all your stuff will be 100% backup. Restoring back this backup will give you exactly what you have at point of backup

ya LOL
but very very hate backup and restore apps using titanium backup even using pro version
furthermore, can you share what folder you have at sdcard ?
want compare mine @@
and you got the over the horizon mp3 inside Samsung > Music folder ?
*
If you hate or lazy doing any backup and restore then i suggest you avoid rooting and flashing. It will save you any hussle later on.... I believe your files been wipe out when you do your first hard/factory reset. I did advise you to transfer all your important files to your external sdcard first before doing your very first hard/factory reset.

just now sold my s3.


Added on June 25, 2012, 10:04 pmhate to break it to you guys but honestly, this time... I'm very2 disappointed with Samsung Galaxy S3 quality. Unlike my Galaxy Note, use 2-3 months naked, then got scratch I immediately put flip case and SP, S3 in other hand, doesn't need 1 week to get scratch on the back and I was CAREFUL enough not to scratch by putting syilling, other thing else inside my pocket with the phone, yet a scratch happens, ain't even reach 1 week, already wear flip case worth RM159 also got scratch????And I sold coz I'm frustrated and worried...that the phone might get more scratch even if I'm being extremely careful with it.

need to cool off with s3 thingy.

just now sold my s3.


Added on June 25, 2012, 10:04 pmhate to break it to you guys but honestly, this time... I'm very2 disappointed with Samsung Galaxy S3 quality. Unlike my Galaxy Note, use 2-3 months naked, then got scratch I immediately put flip case and SP, S3 in other hand, doesn't need 1 week to get scratch on the back and I was CAREFUL enough not to scratch by putting syilling, other thing else inside my pocket with the phone, yet a scratch happens, ain't even reach 1 week, already wear flip case worth RM159 also got scratch????And I sold coz I'm frustrated and worried...that the phone might get more scratch even if I'm being extremely careful with it.

need to cool off with s3 thingy.

Gratz on your phone selling..!!! rclxms.gif rclxms.gif
Hope you have more luck on your next phone buying.

Using hard casing make your former S3 more prone to get scratch than using it naked. My S3 still in pristine condition since I bought it 3 weeks ago and i use my phone naked just as it was meant to be.

yesterday just get it.
i'm new to smart phone..  s3 white 16gb..

any recomment quality flip cover for s3 n screen protector?

using 64gb memory class10 will make phone lagging? (planing to get 1 soon)
*
Carefull when using casing especially hard casing as your phone can easily got scratch using that type of casing. Use soft pouch instead or use it naked.
64GB sdxc card won't make your lagg. Make sure no corrupt files reside inside your sdcard. Broken files make your phone lagg as it keep scanning.

Yes., it is true that most app files cannot be move to external sdcard

Always do a backup in case you do not like the new rom or your phone hang during flashing
It is similar to putting on your safety belt
I would say backup is compulsory. Choice is yours

- update your Titanium backup.
- do your Nandroid backup.
- flash your new custom rom.
- IF everything good then restore back any missing apps using Titanium backup.
- IF something goes wrong or you didn't like your new rom then restore back your former rom using restore from Nandroid.

Since you do first factory reset., all your files including pre-install gone. If you really need those pre-install videos and ringtones., what you should do is do another factory reset. All the pre-install files will be auto downloaded again.

Nice case but it's bulky.
I wonder those thick casing will eventually reduce the signal strength.
I notice some slight drop in signal when using the Baseus Metallic casing.

Having a kickstand on the case is good. the phone cant balance well without a stand.
Doing video calls, watching video clips and listening to music with a stand is recommended.
The volume speakers wont get covered when it's laid down.

My issue is that when either I make a call or there is some incoming calls, the whole upper bar where shows the signal icon will turn into green and it will disappear after sometimes. Someone encountered the same issues?


I just received the software update this morning but it did not mention what are the updates.

Must remove my mod or else your Status Bar will gone, due to my re-arrange icon issue. Compatible version will out soon after I get permission from vertumus using his icons.

Attached here original status bar, flash it 1st before use vertumus theme.

At the moment, only deposit site is working, he did not upload to mediafire site at all.

Pick http://depositfiles.com/files/gf4exb2pm

Malaysia is blocking deposit site, if you want download from deposit and you are streamyx user, change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and also 8.8.4.4

At the moment, only deposit site is working, he did not upload to mediafire site at all.

Pick http://depositfiles.com/files/gf4exb2pm

Malaysia is blocking deposit site, if you want download from deposit and you are streamyx user, change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and also 8.8.4.4

Any expert can help. I can't proper decompile back vertumus SystemUI.apk , seems he added a lot of things inside.

I face below error, thus I can't proper compile back after the changes due to the errors in exceptional "main" thread.

when use, wifi on all the time. when sleep, i turn off wifi. but usually when sleep, i will leave the wifi on while charging cz i charge before sleep.

depends on your area mobile signal strength thou.. weaker signal drains more battery..

day time on stand by usually drop 1~2% per hour, wifi on

normal usage like whatsapp or check facebook, then around 5~8% per hour.

hi,

want to check something i just discovered a few days back.

when in total darkness and in black screen, i notice the 2 touch screen button lights (the back and menu button lights) seems to flood into my screen (the 4.8 inch screen) above. it is like 2 very narrow beams that shines out from the base of the 4.8 inch screen. the light beam is very slight but noticeable.

is this normal?

Normally with JD aggressive mode , battery drop 10% to 12% in 8 hours with power saving mode off. With JD extreme mode with power saving mode off drop 8%. So it translate to around 1% to 1.5% per hour rate.i don't have any background update or sync. My goal is to achieve 0.5% per hour rate then will be perfect. No idea is it achievable or not.

if the stuttering occurs after u took new photos or transferred new pictures then it is normal bcz the media server is creating the small thumbnails for first use.

Hi there, got my S3 on Sunday, been using it until now, so far so good, the phone is very responsive and very fast, but enabled mobile data and it generates heat a lot.

I've updated to latest software update and checked the phone with *#0*#, so far so good, what else do i need to do now?

What I usually do:
1 - open the photo for full screen.
2 - tap menu
3 - tap share icon
4 - choose Dropbox
5 - Select photo folder, tap Save button.

To upload photo to my own folder (not mobile photo), usually I use default Internet Browser.

i got a question here about the cable.. i got 1 cable about 40cm,50cm..(the one come with phone) and another 1 around 15cm. When i charge, the shorter cable will charge my phone faster..

I charge using my friend power bank usb cable, very short cable connect my phone with my friend laptop using that powerbank cable, phone detected charge as AC, and is very fast too @@
sad case is that cable very very short, less than 10cm, if not sure use it to charge my phone with connect the AC charger

Longer cable can make the current and voltage drop. Therefore charging will be slower with longer cable. biggrin.gif

Check if you have turned on power saving. Power saving will put your phone CPU into sleep mode thus wake up will be slow.

If you do not have power saving turn on and yet it feel slow, check the memory usage.

But I think the quality issue is not only on the color of the body, also the phone itself.

i have a MW & PB, the MW no issue, but the PB got serious issue, everything function well, just cannot be a "Phone". it mean that, while calling thru normal line or skype, no sound, you can't listern to the caller as well the caller can't listern to you......kakakaa.....this is the 4 Samsung Phone I have, but this really make me feel dissapointed.

Those previous old model still perform better, I have a Samsung flip phone more than 7yrs, the battery & the phone still function well, this same go to my 2nd phone Omnia II, just that the Omnia is running Winmo 6.5, so is perform slow, but no issue at all as of now.

You should immediately buy a flip case and a screen protector for extra protection AFTER getting the phone, DO NOT DELAY. icon_rolleyes.gif

When you swype the home screen notmally only the icons and widgets will be moved. But before ice cream sandwich, the wallpaper moved also.


QUOTE(JonnY @ Jun 26 2012, 04:39 PM)
Can anybody check how long for your screen to appear when u press the power button?

Mine only appear after 1-2 sec. I remember when I just got my phone, it didn't take so long.
*

I think it delay because when the phone in sleep mode, it will try save battery by not storing more data in the memory. When you press the power button, it will restore the data to the memory, then the memory pass to processor to get ready to display last opened screen before it sleep.

Another one, maybe related with home button, when you set S Voice can launch when you double press home button, it wait if you press once again or not. Try of the shortcut: run S Voice, tap menu button, choose Settings, un-tick Lunch S Voice.

In my case, back cover is easily scratch and the display glass got tiny scratch eventhough wear a flip case. Ans the home can be loose sometime. Other people says their power button got problem, volume rocker got problem, and color tear off bit, no sound after few weeks having the phone n so on. Check current ver of this topic or the old ver.

Hi all, I've just got my white S3 on last Thursday and yesterday it start to have "issue".
During calls making time, from the receiver speaker, it produces bursting sound which I feel discomfort. Even my fren standing 3 feet away from the phone also could hear the buzzing sound which is really annoying. Anyone facing the same issue like me?

The scratch issue is more depends on how users take care his phone, there are number of members here using their phone without screen protector applied but yet till now still in perfect condition, there is always preventive solution by apply screen protector & case to your newly brought S3.

But I think the quality issue is not only on the color of the body, also the phone itself.

i have a MW & PB, the MW no issue, but the PB got serious issue, everything function well, just cannot be a "Phone". it mean that, while calling thru normal line or skype, no sound, you can't listern to the caller as well the caller can't listern to you......kakakaa.....this is the 4 Samsung Phone I have, but this really make me feel dissapointed.

Those previous old model still perform better, I have a Samsung flip phone more than 7yrs, the battery & the phone still function well, this same go to my 2nd phone Omnia II, just that the Omnia is running Winmo 6.5, so is perform slow, but no issue at all as of now.

Hi all, I've just got my white S3 on last Thursday and yesterday it start to have "issue".
During calls making time, from the receiver speaker, it produces bursting sound which I feel discomfort. Even my fren standing 3 feet away from the phone also could hear the buzzing sound which is really annoying. Anyone facing the same issue like me?
*
actually mine started acting up after 2 weeks of usage. i cant hear the person on the other line nor that person can hear me at all. if turn on the loud speaker would hear loud buzzing noise. and yet the other party still cant hear me.

tried the voice recorder to see if the mic is faulty but seems ok. made a few calls would able to listen to a few beeps from the call speaker (seems to work oso) which leads me to think its software issue rather than hardware.
so i tried to reset to factory setting but didnt work.

after that sent back to lowyat sc and got mobo replacement. but of coz had to left it there for 2 days

Hey guys, just wanted to give an update on my application of the Spigen SGP FlexHD biggrin.gif

On the day of application, it had alot of bubbles which were really hard to push out
but i managed to push it out using my thumb a few hours later tongue.gif

10 MINUTES AFTER APPLY
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


I put back the battery in and turned it back on after an hour.
Left the phone on the table and went to school the next morning.

I came back in the evening around 7pm, It looked ALOT better biggrin.gif

HOW IT LOOKS LIKE RIGHT NOW (Approx 23hours since apply)
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


If you can see it, there's still a tiny bump there but I think it's a small speck of dust that managed to enter somehow doh.gif
It's probably my fault for that rclxub.gif

Overall,

THE BAD
1. NOT EASY TO APPLY, have to handle with care.
2. Has a SLIGHT "orange peel" texture, but it's not noticeable when the screen is on
(although it might annoy some people when the screen is off)
3. Price. Costs about RM75, but comes with 2 screen protectors
(it's worth it in my opinion, but might be too costly for some)
4. Slightly rubbery feel that may be annoying to some, but i like the feel of it smile.gif

THE GOOD
1. FULL FRONT COVERAGE of the phone unlike cheaper / dry-application screen protectors
(It's the main reason why i decided to buy this) biggrin.gif
2. The benefit of being able to reuse over and over and over and over again biggrin.gif
(can take it out if it's dirty, wash it in a soapy solution and apply it again)

So far it's been all good for me, I hope that the imperfection will clear up after a few days (since it says so on the box).
I won't recommend this to everyone, but if you don't mind a little bit of challenge for the sake of FULL FRONT SCREEN COVERAGE, go ahead and get one biggrin.gif

You can get the Ultra Nano Clear.
It was developed by SGP in order to not affect the S3's touch screen's responsiveness that the ultra oleophobic apparently affected.
It's basically the Ultra oleophobic but it's thinner.

It really depends on whether you want to face the trouble of applying a wet SP. Some people like to do it quick and easy (and don't mind not having full protection).
Personally, i'm the type of person who feels the NEED for full protection for my phone, which is the reason why i decided to go with flexHD even though it's not easy to apply and there's a little imperfections (slight orange peel, need to handle VERY carefully to avoid stretching and damaging) smile.gif

Hey guys, congrats on v11. Been using my pb for a week now. No lag or whatsoever..meeting all my needs and battery life is great for being doing a lot of purchasing on apps.

S voice is good and accurate. Although I dont really use it much.. Find it more troublesome then making my life easier..

Smart stay isnt that great tho.. Need to ensure that sufficient light is there to ensure it is smart enough to make it stay.

Just a quickie. Need some experts on these.. Can the charger on the xperia ray be used on my s3? Attached are the photos of both charger.. I am sure u know which is which haha

How do I purchase apps via playstore? Do I need an account with Google Wallet?
Also if I downloaded a song into the phone memory can I transfer the file into the microSD card using the phone? Or must I connect to a PC to transfer the file?

Whats the difference between the FREE Swiftkey 3 and the PAID app? Is it really better than the keyboard that comes with the S3?

I'm still trying to learn how to type on the touch screen using the keyboard layout tongue.gif

actually mine started acting up after 2 weeks of usage. i cant hear the person on the other line nor that person can hear me at all. if turn on the loud speaker would hear loud buzzing noise. and yet the other party still cant hear me.

tried the voice recorder to see if the mic is faulty but seems ok. made a few calls would able to listen to a few beeps from the call speaker (seems to work oso) which leads me to think its software issue rather than hardware.
so i tried to reset to factory setting but didnt work.

after that sent back to lowyat sc and got mobo replacement. but of coz had to left it there for 2 days
*
I got a issue like yours. No buzzing sound but cant hear the person on the other line nor that person can hear me at all. After the call, signal will suddenly drop to 0 and after few second it will be back. Try everything but no solution. When to SC just now and the technician also don't know what problem. He ask me to leave the phone for 2-3 days. Anyway i am from JB so i think my case is the first one.

Will update once i got it back.

White balance of the camera perhaps.

My iPhone is more reddish compared to the S3. The S3 gives out a bluish tint instead.

That all, no pouch include. Samsung never give pouch long long time ago.

Uncle Benny....I think you miss my post lol.... I was asking on your link for Ebay where you get your back cover...also which are usual trader you get your stuff from our you trust most traders there....
For those ppl asking on Google and Paypal...it seems that some of the people from Paypal went over to Google and started Google wallet which is similar Paypal...that is why you don't get Paypal usage on Google stuff...lol...business politics....

I got it from :
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Metal-back-cov...b#ht_500wt_1413

I have no specific sellers - i always look at the seller ratings before i buy
So far all my ebay purchases of phone batteries, chargers, cases, cables etc has been 100 % good and successful. I received most of my stuffs within 7 to 14 days. I have only one case of missed delivery of a blackberry playbook car charger from USA - did not recieved after 30 days, email seller and he immediately send me a free replacement same day by special fast air parcel from USA. The original parcel finally reach me on the 35th day

I have both Yoobao 4400 and 11200 external battery charger
Both has served me well for the past 2 years
Which one depend on your usage actually - how much juice you really need

Yeah Diferent people diferent usage....
Well i was thinking o use the powerbank to charge S3 and other phone while travel 1 or 2 days.
If in future vacation use S3 as main camera and need that as backup battery.
(Not pro in camera so S3 more then enough for me)

Powerbank 4400 is enough to charge S3 for 2 times.

I think regular user 4400 will do.

This may not be what you are looking for but one alternative is to connect your wired internet to a laptop with wifi capabilities. Then use a program called Connectify to broadcast wifi from the laptop. Then connect you S3 to that wifi broadcasted to get internet on your S3.

If you are trying to play the video in post #1 there is an error in the upload. cannot even view it in PC. However the subsequent link in post #4 ( fixed) plays fine directly on the phone inside the webpage. Try again on post #4
Everything is default being setup by phone . You need not do any special settings to view youtube videos on webpages

i was playing with my sgs2 last night, and on a whim, held the sgs3 on the other hand and just played around with both. both have similar laucnher and apps installed.

- screen hands down sgs3 win
- scrolling in homescreen and gui, sgs3 faster

but surprise is launching apps, sgs2 wins almost everytime. whether first launch or subsequent launches, regardless of what app i launch, sgs2 is faster. eg, just try opening contacts or dialer.

maybe it's due to sgs2 having more spare ram.

i just back from the Samsung SC, is the Mainboard faulty. As I know, the Mic no problem, the S Voice & Voice recording is working, just when phone call no sound.

so due to no stock for the Blue, i have to take the White as exchange unit, but have to wait for few days also because the stock is at HQ, SC no phone to exchange.

yea, i notice that too and suspect of free ram.. the system needs to free up some ram before opening new apps. hopefully fixable via updates/custom ROMs

but try launch camera and see who faster.. tongue.gif

Guys what are your opinions about Benks HSR screen protector? I used to use clear type screen protector for my old phone and the fingerprints are really annoying. I got a free matte type screen protector when I bought the S3, love the anti-fingerprint quality but if look closely enough can see the display a little bit blur... Wondering if the HSR one can provide clear display and anti-fingerprint as well? Or are there other screen protectors that can provide clear display with anti-fingerprint qualities? Please recommend to me if there is. smile.gif

Nowadays so cheap. Only early last year i paid RM 220 for a Sandisk class 4 32 GB. Now with same amount and slightly less I can get a Sandisk class 10 64 GB which just only 2 months ago I paid RM 300 ( than considered a good price ). The 64 GB Class 6 when launch early this year was RM 500 !!
Moral of story - be happy with your price as it will still goes down over the next few months

View the link at post #4 : it is fixed

NEVER - no tax and duties for all such mobile accessories. Even for mobile phones I bought from Clove UK , officially there is no duties and sales tax. The most if hold by custom just need pay RM 100 as SIRIM permit but even that I escaped from paying . Packaged was delivered directly to me by DHL - really a door to door delivery

Guys what are your opinions about Benks HSR screen protector? I used to use clear type screen protector for my old phone and the fingerprints are really annoying. I got a free matte type screen protector when I bought the S3, love the anti-fingerprint quality but if look closely enough can see the display a little bit blur... Wondering if the HSR one can provide clear display and anti-fingerprint as well? Or are there other screen protectors that can provide clear display with anti-fingerprint qualities? Please recommend to me if there is.  smile.gif

i'm using the benks HSR.. initially able to reduce smudge quite a lot.. but after some use, the effect starts to reduce, similar to any other matte SP as well. but i do notice it attracts less finger print than normal clear SP. u can give it a try thou if u cant find any other better alternatives. cleaning is easy too.

Nowadays so cheap. Only early last year i paid RM 220 for a Sandisk class 4 32 GB. Now with same amount and slightly less I can get a Sandisk class 10 64 GB which just only 2 months ago I paid RM 300 ( than considered a good price ). The 64 GB Class 6 when launch early this year was RM 500 !!
Moral of story - be happy with your price as it will still goes down over the next few months

View the link at post #4 : it is fixed

NEVER - no tax and duties for all such mobile accessories. Even for mobile phones I bought from Clove UK , officially there is no duties and sales tax. The most if hold by custom just need pay RM 100 as SIRIM permit but even that I escaped from paying . Packaged was delivered directly to me by DHL  - really a door to door delivery

Thanks for the info. How about the installation, is it easy? tongue.gif I'm thinking of buying from garage sales but I've never installed SP myself before. blush.gif
