in msia only internal memory difference...

other countries got 2gb ram...

i see


anyway people hoping wait for the samsung note 2, may be disappointed to know that it will come with ice cream sandwitch instead of the newer jelly bean.

so better cpu, camera, bigger display size are almost to be expected. possibly even differen storage space and ram size. but software wise, i seriously doubt it will be any better than the galaxy s3 out already.

i'm not saying note 2 won't be superior hardware wise, it most likely will, but the question is in terms of value for money bang for bucks, s3 may be more worth it i suspect (well need to wait for the price anouncement in august 2012 to be sure).

but i don't think people would be disappointed getting an S3 now :/ unless they really want a bigger screen size or slightly better camera e.g. 12mp vs 8mp

I'm wondering whether the s3 with only 1gb of ram will be sufficient to use the jelly bean :/ when samsung officially releases the update for the s3 if ever.

but one thing for sure, doesn't seem like s2 may be able to use it :/ apparently.

Some launchers have widgets for it. Like go launcher. However, you need to be using those launchers in order for those widgets to work. Which is a bummer for me cause I don't like the candy pop feeling of go launcher

anyone know what is the name of the app which has the %of the battery beside the battery sign

that one is battery minder...

also can enable without battery minder...go settings there to enable it...

Anyone knows why S3 keeps checking and notifying new emails and facebook posts etc, even though I switch off 'account and sync' ?

I thought background sync is off. How can I stop it syncing automatically?

notification bar there...sync..
off there...

It's already off but still it checks/updates


Friend told me samsung is like that, automatic check even though off.


My other android phones dont have this issue, when 'account and sync' is off, there is no auto checking. Even play store cannot use and app updates are off.

But S3 (samsung?) still checks and allows play store to start.

that sync option is only for your google accounts and any other accounts registered under Settings > account and sync.

individual apps u need to turn off the sync within the app settings.

Found ....thx....

my gmail wont auto refresh de...

only play store if got updates...

was watching this review, seems to cover almost 90% of the phone features



And this is a comparison between s voice and siri



This article is also very informative how android started up and became such a huge thing o.O; really puts into perspective and give better understanding concerning the smartphone industry/market at present

welcome..glad could help

anyone facing difficulties making a call? after few time press call, the action is delayed like few minutes. then multiple call screen come up.

The Galaxy Nexus does Jelly Bean fine. And how much RAM does it have? 1GB last I checked.

Plus, your S2 info is outdated. A week back SamMobile has news that Sammy ALREADY has S2 and S3 JB builds in testing, and is planning to release in a couple of months.

Trust me, if I know Sammy, "a couple of months" is gonna "mysteriously" coincide with the announcement of the new iPhone.

well thats good to hear for the s2 users :] personally though, i'm getting S3 so less risk there

may i know though, is this OS upgrade via firmware a recent new thing ? Or has the smartphone market been doing this a while ? Or does it always end having to purchase a new phone to get the newer OS ?

Because my plan for an S3 is to be future proofed, so i can upgrade the os when updates for android roll out over time.

granted that there will be stuff i am sure it isn't able to do due to lack of hardware needed, but i think it's almost got everything, although i'm a bit worried about whether the malaysia 1gb ram is sufficient for future proofing the quad core cpu is pretty decent so not too worried about that

You're worrying too much about the future, IMHO. Phones are obsolete the moment they get to your hands lol. As a rule of thumb, the S3, or any modern pieces of mobile tech is good for 2 years. Any more and it gets HOPELESSLY left behind.

But future proofing wise, the S3 should be okay up to Key Lime Pie (the next update after JB). Anything after that would be a stretch, as per the two year limit. At least OFFICIALLY.

Unofficially, even the relatively old Nexus One should get JB, thanks to enterprising custom ROM builders.

And the current mobile OS update craze? Google and Apple started it lol. Which is actually a good thing - during the Symbian/WM days of old, a new OS usually meant having to buy new phones to come with it.

oh alrite :{

but one last thing though, since amoled has degradable organic component how long is the expect life time on that ?


http://www.radio-electronics.com/info/data...rix-organic.php


so although samsung s3 is better than the htc one x in terms of having a replacable battery (curious why htc didn't opt for this), but the samsung is also has an expiry on it's display which obviously is not going to be replacable either.

If the phone can physically last 5 years, i think that is a winner already
