err. why dont you just install handcent, you dont need to use the handcent as primary device, but now when you go to system > sound > choose notification sound, select handcent and it will allow you to choose mp3 as ringtone or notification tone

the local search is back. stock ROM is good as it is the most stable. custom ROMs are custom so they are faster

There are about 20,000 malicious Android apps in circulation, says Trend Micro. And about 13 million phones worldwide have been infected, says Chinese security firm NetQin.

A big part of these involve remotely controlling smartphones into sending premium text messages, as well as spamming the phones’ inboxes with junk messages.

The legitimate Opera Mini would only require the following:
-Storage
-Network communication
-Your personal information


However, the OpFake version would also require the following:
-Your messages
-Services that cost you money

In a Fast Company article, Neil Ungerleider says the fact that an app seeks permissions for “phone calls,” “messages” and “services that cost you money” should already raise suspicions of a potential threat. Does a mobile web browser really need to initiate SMS messages and access services that result in carrier charges?

That is one of the reason I stopped using Chrome. Now I'm using Maxthon Browser. Much better and can close browser with exit button. Try it for yourself

even after you swipe off all the apps on the list where you hold your home button,its still running . that is just a list of recent apps used . IT wont exit the apps at all cost. 

Nanosys is changing the way we see things. Our quantum dot technology creates a visual experience that is truer to reality by enabling LCDs to display over 50% more color than they can today. This means richer, more viscerally alive reds, a deeper palette of greens (the color the human eye sees more intensely than any other color) and vivid blues.

Browsing through photos on a tablet is now more like holding a stack of high quality, professional prints. Watching a movie on a big screen in the living room is more akin to attending a private screening at a Hollywood studio.

Quantum Dot Enhancement Film, or QDEF™, is an optical film component for LCD displays.

Advancements in display technology have given us LCD displays that are smaller, lighter, cheaper and higher resolution than anything previously imagined.  Unfortunately, the industry sacrificed color quality along the way.  Today’s LCDs are only capable of displaying about 72% of the NTSC color standard. 

This is a step backwards from old-fashioned CRT displays, which were capable of displaying nearly 100% of the NTSC standard.  With QDEF technology, we are able to restore the color experience of displays, increasing color performance to over 100% of NTSC without sacrificing size, weight, picture quality or cost of the display.

QDEF utilizes proprietary quantum dot phosphors to improve the color performance of the display.  It can be readily inserted into current manufacturing processes as a direct replacement for standard diffuser sheets.

LCD displays with QDEF technology use less energy and cost significantly less than other high performance display technology like OLED.

Nanosys is working with the world’s leading display makers to integrate QDEF into consumer products.

Hey guys! Just got myself an S3, what are the must have apps for the phone? The phone shop did put in some games for me, one of the app is called ZDbox, is it any good?

planning to root my s3! Is the siyah 1.5 beta stable?

I just got my S3 this week with minimal apps. However, the RAM is always high...sometimes 600+mb out of 700+mb. Anyone facing the same issue?

If it exceeds the max RAM, it would "blackout" and restart the phone.
