The SGP Crumena pouch for SIII? If the SIII has back cover like the Rock Quicksand case will it still fit in the pouch?

hey guys
any comment for rocksand for s3?

Good and very comfortable to hold, though my purple rock quicksand has some light color fading at the sides due to my 'strong' sweaty grip blush.gif
Should be less noticeable with grey and possibly black.

never do that lads, while use battery too much when using apps, try ask people here, they clear RAM or not? majority doing nothing  smile.gif
*
Agreed, should normally not clear RAM. (I only do it when I cannot launch any app due to not enough memory and just closes/crashes - main culprits are mainly news apps like Star and MalaysianInsider)


QUOTE(AsTiGaTe @ Jul 19 2012, 03:33 PM)
it still got play in task manager .. press home button for long and u can see the app is still running.I always press back.then press home long then 'push' the app away
*
Long pressing home button only shows recently used apps i.e. shortcuts; it does not show running Apps.
=>IMHO, clearing it has no RAM impact

For display active applications:
Install the Application monitor widget from SamsungApps.
*It also allows you to clear RAM which is not normally needed

For display running cached processes:
Go to Settings->Application Manager->Running tab

It will damage the phone battery in the long run....

Some car dual USB chargers have the separate ports for 1A and 2A, so should not be any damage as long as you make sure you use the 1A usb port. The 2A should be used for iPad and other tablets only.

I even saw some expensive chargers with the prevent overcharging feature. Not sure if it helps actually... hmm.gif

Been using vanam since v1.5 till now v1.8 no such problem of unable to send sms. Might be your service provider problem.
does the 1A and 2A difference really cause problem? bcuz i m using my galaxy tab charger (2A) for some occasionally fast charge.
*
I googled it... and the consensus seems to be no damage possible as the handphone only draws what it needs irregardless of 2A or 1A. I will defer to electrical engineers or other experts to debate/advise further.
But to me it makes sense to just buy what you need. 500mAh or 1A or 2A (btw it seems most 2.1A will only provide 1A for each port if you use both ports at once; which is why you see some expensive car chargers advertising itself as 10W...)

i want to buy a secondary battery. and a Dock. there's a reallly nice battery dock which enable us to charge both the battery and they phone
*
Which dock allows you to charge the phone as well? (Is it official from Samsung? Can share the link???)
AFAIK the official Samsung extra battery kit only charges the standalone battery right? And the desk stand only holds the SIII, not charge it...

for an earlier error that i got on "damaged SD card"
i can confirm that it was caused by directory bind.
the card was fine on my laptop, i did a backup and formatted the whole card. my phone was able to read my card after that.
then copying back all the stuffs back into the card (including the files that i bound using directory bind) i have a damaged SD card again. i removed the whole "android" folder and my card is fine again.

for those who are using 64gb sd card. do not use directory bind. or end up having a "damaged SD card" and a phone full of apps that can't be opened sad.gif

Thanks for sharing. Can you confirm it will work with 32gb sd card?; which format exfat or fat32?

once u have missed out on the update u can no longer update via OTA unless they decide to prompt u again.

Thanks for the link, I have done more checking comparing it to the original Samsung dock
Look at 4:23 of the KiDiGi video, you can see that the SIII is not in dock mode.
For dock mode, you can see here at 0:38
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjoptzw5oVc
The reviewer mentions that a new model is coming in August which should support the real dock mode.

Otherwise, it is really a good deal as the complaint about the Samsung dock is that the phone is not stable on the dock.
